(the lace is from this 17th century venetian needlepoint that i found by chance while looking for public domain patterns)

okay i was thinking about armand saying “she wanted to say yes. but, she didn’t trust you. you hadnt given her a reason to.” about daniels marriage proposal to alice. to me its obvious armand is actually talking about himself, specifically daniel asking armand to turn him (the potential that daniel and armand continued to meet post 1973 interview).

what i find crazy and further makes me believe that this is armand talking about himself and daniel asking armand to give him the dark gift is louis’ turn. everyone knows that the scene in the church w louis and lestat is essentially a wedding for them. the vows being about immortality. marriage tied to turning. not saying every turning is like that but to then couple that w armand interjecting and saying that while talking about daniel PROPOSING to alice. yeah.. just a connection i made

Do you see my vision? Do you see my vision? Do you see my-

[nightcolorz]

wait. Imagine in iwtv s2 Daniel is prodding at armand and trying to get him to open up about his past for the interview and armand says “why would I share these things with you? You have given me no reason to trust you.” Cuz it just slips out and Daniel kind of just looks at him like oh….oh. Oh boy

[dr-reids-fidget-toy]

Ok so you know when Louis is tormenting Daniel about Alice? He asks Daniel if he’d like to know what she thinks of him now, because he can do that, if he’d like. Armand interjects, bringing them back to the interview. What if he’s covering something up

[weast-of-eden]

posting this scene for myself on here because hey!! so this was crazy actually!!

[laniidae-passerine]

“what if Alice looks like Armand” what if Alice is a skinny pale as paper light eyed girl? what if Daniel chooses a woman who looks like the romantic ideal they painted over Amadeo for? you chase after white men who are fascinated by you for a minute, by how exotic and otherworldly you are, but then suddenly you are nothing but your powers and that too is eventually boring. so they leave you. they will always leave you. in the end, she is white and pretty and lovely. she gets to have Daniel and his pale baby girls. and you get nothing but the pain.

Alice is Alice and she's important for many reasons, including the fact she's the reason Devil's Minion broke up back in the day and Armand had to erase Daniel's memories of them together.

The world changing event that would be Daniel’s daughter in s3 and she looks like Armand

[whatshehassaid]

Also lil fun fact in s1… Louis reads a part of Daniel’s book where he’s talking about how recollection and memory can trick you: “I look at my daughter in the rear view mirror of my Buick sitting in her car seat… my editor tells me it’s 7 years before car seats become mandatory. My ex wife tells me I never had a Buick”

In the books Daniel is turned into a Vampire by Armand in 1985

In the show:

Louis: Alice is in her third trimester… she steps in gum on the corner of Rue Palatine and Servandoni.

Daniel: the old parlour trick…

Louis: she makes you scrape it off with a credit card..

Daniel: it’s not a credit card. I HAVE no credit, it’s a library card

Louis: She’s wearing that short purple dress you favor…

Daniel: I liked the way she lo- walked in it… she was CONFIDENT

Louis: You felt freer to hold her hand in Paris… *hint of sarcasm* I wonder why that is..

Daniel: hitting the garage door, Louis… all the crap… have at it

Louis: you worked SOOOO hard to get that table right in the corner so you could pull out the ring…

Daniel *scoffs*: the ring… that’s good..

Louis: just at the right moment to surprise her

Daniel: which I DID..

Louis: And what did she say when you finally asked her to marry you?

*Daniel has a flash of Armand in the 70s*

Louis: Danny. I’ll ask for a third time. What did ALICE say… when you finally asked her to marry you?

Armand *softly*: Louis perhaps we should…

Daniel *visibly upset* : She said no.

*Louis chuckles maliciously*

*long silence*

Armand *squirms on the couch and a sad uncomfortable expression comes over his face*: she wanted to say yes.

*Daniel’s eyes widen as he looks up at Armand*

Armand: she just didn’t trust you. You hadn’t given her a reason to.

Louis *still with a malicious tone*: do you want to know what she thinks of you now? IF she thinks of you now? *glances at Armand* we could do that

Armand: or we could simply return to the interview.

——

Season one Louis serves Daniel the dessert he had in Paris claiming he has a human meal once a week to hold onto the thread of humanity…

Daniel: this is the dessert I had after I proposed to my first wife… after I got my shit together. We were in Paris. Little cafe on the Rue Servandoni up the way from Saint Sulpice.

Louis: I know it. It’s a beautiful street.

Daniel *becoming nostalgic*: Alice…. Half of her eyebrow was blonde… like a mutt. She always dyed it back to brown…

Daniel *somewhat sadly*: I liked it when she left it alone….

*daniel closes his laptop stopping the recording of the interview*

????? this isn’t dubai???? WHY IS DANIEL HAVING MEMORIES OF ARMAND TELLING HIM THINGS WHILE LOUIS BERATES HIM ABOUT HIS EX WIFE??????

[merverse]

hear me out armand gave his memories back to daniel as some sort of revenge for breaking him and louis apart and then daniel had a heart attack bc why tf is he fucking the vampire that tortured him and almost killed him and why does that makes perfect sense and that's why armand panicked and turned him and then ran away and that's how devils minion can still win

[island-in-the-shadows]

Alice Theory A: Alice never existed, she was Armand the whole time. (And Daniel's daughters are from his other marriage.)

Alice Theory B: Alice did exist but some of Daniel's memories of her are mixed with memories that were of Armand because there was mindfuckery afoot.

Alice Theory C: Viewer loses all sense of sanity, pours over all the inconsistencies when Alice is mentioned and when Daniel's past is mentioned, wonders why the second wife is never mentioned but Alice is, creates Pepe Silvia board on wall to try to make sense of it, takes up shitty coping habit because the madness of wondering what the fuck any of it means and what a possible truth is is consuming your every waking thought, friends and family think you look twitchy, you add more to your Pepe Silvia board, you wonder how you're going to make it through episode 5 and indulge in your unhealthy coping mechanism, you re-read Devil's Minion and wonder if there's clues there, you think you spot a clue but you also think that's the madness talking, you rant out loud to anyone who will listen, you wonder if you should follow Alice down the rabbit hole because it's your merry unbirthday anyway...
