Armand to Daniel: Lestat loved me soooo much. Obsessed with me, actually. We ran the Théâtre des Vampires together hand in hand while his silly little boytoy was forced to watch us fuck in the rafters while he played on in the pit. We had a very consensual relationship and drank each other's blood. Consensually. One day he left without a trace without telling me. I am adult enough now to admit that he was a narcissist who only cared about himself and this was the only reason he would have left me.

Meanwhile, in the Vampire Lestat: Armand, the absolute wettest cat you have ever seen, obsessing over Lestat, systematically destroying his coven when Lestat first intervened, refusing to run the new version of the coven until Lestat all but begs him to, following after Lestat and Gabrielle like a ravenous little lap dog obsessed with forcing himself into their dynamic even after Lestat tells him no over and over. And then, to top it all off:

FIRST PIC TRANSCRIPT. EXCERPT FROM THE VAMPIRE LESTAT:

"Yes, yes, his lips tasted like blood, but it was not human blood. It was that elixir that Magnus had given me, and I felt myself recoil. I could get away this time. I had another chance. The wheel had turned full round.

I was crying out that I wouldn't drink; I wouldn't, and then I felt the two hot shafts driven hard through my neck and down to my soul.

I couldn't move. It was coming as it had come that night, the rapture, a thousandfold what it was when I held mortals in my arms. And I knew what he was doing! He was feeding upon me! He was draining me."

SECOND PIC TRANSCRIPT. EXCERPT FROM THE VAMPIRE LESTAT [CONT.]

"and going down on my knees, I felt myself held by him, the blood pouring out of me with a monstrous volition I couldn't stop.

"Devil!" I tried to scream. I forced the word up and up until it broke from my lips and the paralysis broke from my limbs. "Devil!" I roared again and I caught him in his swoon and hurled him backwards to the floor.
