Armand - Blog Posts
if there is one thing i love about book Armand (and possibly show Armand but i need to see more evidence) it is that he is a petty little hater. he practices haterism as an olympic sport. Night Island was the architectural equivalent of standing by the wall at a party with your boyfriend while both of you look judgmentally over the rims of your drinks at the rest of the guests like "ew."
the revelation that claudia’s rebirth was such a twisted and horrible moment, with louis dragging her like she was a thing, a stranger who neither of them knew but he kept saying over and over “our daughter, our beautiful little daughter” to lestat, really solidified the way she was never the main character of her own story. she was always an accessory to some or the other of louis’ whims: his guilt, his loneliness, his conflict of being a killer, his rocky relationship with lestat. there was love there, love from both her fathers, but it was never enough. lestat saw her too much as a wretched mirror held up to his own self, and louis was always too steeped in his own feelings to care enough about hers. claudia’s story truly was the greatest tragedy in this tale, treated horribly by every man around her, even her fathers, relentlessly exploited and brutally ignored, always second and never first. the only one who loved her the way she deserved to be loved was madeleine, and the moment she truly had her, her happiness was torn from her. and just before she died, she got to see someone actually choose her in her entirety, not for what she can be but for who she is, and it still wasn’t enough. she still burned alive in the sunlight. the love was there, but it wasn’t enough to save her.
Daniel Molloy is sickkkkk of these gay vampires
imagine being real rashid and you work for these weird gay vampires and one day they come to you like hey rashid we're gonna give you a little holiday! armand will take over your duties for the time being, for a cool disguise during my interview, not a kink thing :) and you're like okay these are my weird gay vampire bosses so it probably is a kink thing but who am i to judge. and then you find out they are roleplaying this weird exhibitionist slash master/servant scene with your own real actual government name. fuck interview with the vampire, interview with rashid WHEN??
Daniel is a needy bastard who needs to have Armand in every single way possible.
I love how one day Armand was chasing and tormenting Daniel, and the next he was like “alright what’s so interesting about that damn book? Let me see the cover, explain it to me!”
Physically I am a present and functioning human being, mentally I am consumed body and soul by old man vampire yaoi
the term daniel uses to refer to himself, "minion," having a different modern & archaic definition reflects their relationship so well
daniel who believes himself to have been nothing but a plaything who followed armand about for a decade and can be discarded easily, vs armand who loves daniel so much he doesn't want to keep living if he dies
he’s a 70 year old man. he’s a newborn vampire. he’s a bright young reporter with a point of view. he’s got a 100% divorce rate including a marriage that wasn’t even his. he’s a homewrecker. he’s bisexual. he was sexually attracted to both men in said marriage that wasn’t his. he looked a 514 year old ruthless vampire who psychologically tortured him in the eye and exposed his darkest secret that he’s kept for 77 years. and he’s going to fuck that newly single vampire the second he gets a chance. meet daniel molloy everyone
the head tilt brothers
I’m a strong believer in Armand turned Daniel because he couldn’t stand Daniel hating him.
