  WE all know that Armand is youthful & he uses his looks as a form of manipulation.  He was a mesmerizing LEADER of satanic vampire coven, the Theatre des Vampires in Paris when he himself was NOT satanic in the least.  In the books he was born in Russia and has beautiful auburn curls but I do enjoy the little change of the show that Armand is from Bangladesh. His dark curls and honey skin is absolutely impeccable — you’re wrong if you disagree. 

My Armand hovers almost anywhere he goes ( unless outside, of course. ) Learning the ‘cloud’ gift from Marius back in Italy when he did live with him. TURNED into a vampire at the age of 17 — CLOSE to his 18th birthday, forever youthful & beautiful. Always having the disadvantage of being shorter than everyone else he knows so the hovering is really helpful with reaching things off the top shelf. Like a cat, he also enjoys feeling TALLER than anyone else. Armand has top energy even though we all know he is definitely not one. 

The sun is over 4.6 BILLION years old so no I don’t believe that the sun doesn’t affect Armand but I DO believe that he can walk in the sun for a longer period of time than the other’s can. However, if he walks with his skin exposed for too long it will begin to burn like any other normal vampire.  He may be over 500 years old but the sun can beat his ass, don’t listen to what he says about it. 

LOUD unnecessary noises scare him at times when he’s trying to relax —- don’t dad sneeze in front of him or he’ll jump out of his skin. 

Armand doesn’t hunt — he just chooses not to but if there is NO other choice it is obvious that he will do so WITHOUT hesitation.  There is NO mercy behind his kills, it’s killed or be killed & the only option he would choose is to end your life rather than his own. Don’t let his small demeanor fool you either, the man is SO much stronger than he looks. 

The luxury of life PLEASES him. Art, literature, architecture, clothing, accessories, high end technology of the centuries & security. When with him he shares his wealth without limit, mirroring the relationship Marius had with him centuries ago. So accept little else !

reconciliatio​:​

It’s  easy  to  lie  through  the  day  and  say  he  is  not  really  hungry.  Most  days  as  he  sat  down  to  eat  something  in  this  minimalistic  show  of  a  home,  he  found  it  that  Louis,  Armand  or  god  anyone  else  would  make  it  weird.  "Should  I  expect  another  one  of  those  bloodsucking  shows  while  i’m  eating  or  can  I  do  that  in  peace?“  Daniel  quick  to  point  out,  pushing  the  glasses  back  on  the  bridge  of  his  nose,  hands  stopping  their  motion  over  one  of  Claudia’s  diaries.  A  hand  moves  to  the  laptop  beside  him  where  he  had  been  making  notes  and  closes  it  with  a  gentle  thud.  "If  my  eldest  knew  I  was  eating  cookies  she  would  be  flying’  into  an  airplane  first  thing  in  the  morning.  She  has  my  stubborness  and  tenacious  eye.”  

Which  might  be  why  they  butted  head  once  she  decided  she  wanted  to  be  a  journalist  too.  But  she  had  been  taking  care  of  him  when  it  mattered,  when  his  health  prognosis  was  delivered,  she  was  making  sure  he  ate  healthier  than  ever.  Which  sucked  because  Daniel  loves  anything  with  a  sugar  index.  The  journalist  stands  up,  finally  glancing  over  to  the  common  room,  taking  in  the  offer.  He  had  to  eat  something  or  else,  he  might  get  himself  into  more  trouble  for  having  a  big  mouth  and  no  filter.  Age  and  lack  of  food  would  put  him  into  a  lot  more  trouble,  and  he  is  hoping  to  get  out  of  this  interview  with  all  four  limbs.  "For  what  I  gathered  human  food  tastes  nothing  to  you.  Like  sandpaper.“  A  short  pause  as  eyes  consider  Armand.  He  has  a  lot  of  questions,  but  he  is  leaving  those  for  the  day  when  the  interviews  get  going.

 "And  you  don’t  go  around  pretending  like  Louis  does.”  Which  is  both  worriedsome  and  intriguing  at  best.  Louis  kept  so  many  little  rituals  to  remind  himself  he  had  been  once  human,  down  to  bring  him  back  from  his  retirenment  to  write  a  book.  He  doesn’t  see  Armand  doing  the  same  thing.  "You  mentioned  you  were  500  years  old.  Give  or  take.“

                              ---- EYEING the male just as curious, there was things in which he didn’t understand about humans that he will FOREVER find fascinating in a sense that it would leave his nose pointed. Maybe there was something about the journalist that left him at edge. As Armand was so specific about who he let into his space, someone NEW always in and out of the corridors was leaving him frantic, i n t e r n a l l y.  To  emit a long, deep, audible breath expressing WHATEVER it was he was feeling, before mouth opened to speak; perhaps he was tired from the lack of sleep.  ( --- even as a vampire, the lack of sleep happened & time alone become irrelevant. This man talked about restless nights & oh, how he KNEW that feeling well. )   ❝ Yes, I am. Does that bother you at all? ----- ❞

 Forever stuck in a 17 year old body & having all the triggers that go with it;  ( He too was making mental notes on EVERYTHING that was being said during the times of the interview exchanges. That amusement he had while hiding away in the corner, consuming himself with the attention of DETAIL his tower had to offer. Perhaps he was trying to understand as to why Du Lac had the admiration for a human he has only ever met once those many years ago. Although, whos to say he too wasn’t keeping tabs on Molloy from the very beginning that they’ve met. A fact, in which that will NEVER be admitted in this life time.)  He tended to also the hormones & metabolism of a middle teenaged boy, --- nothing ever stopped him from feeding, getting what he wanted, the stubborn selfish intellect shining through in pieces.     ❝  Fish that were alive during the age of the enlightenment are still swimming strong. A Greenland shark has LIVED at least 272 years, making the species the longest-lived vertebrate in the world. I am even older than that. ❞   Following behind, Armand stood at the door way, his hands in front of him as he spoke, narrowing his eyes while he exhaustively WATCHED Daniel’s every move.

[armancl]

                              PATIENTLY he waits for the sun to set over the horizon, Louis would find that it was best to work when the darkness consumes the city life so they were able to leave the doors OPEN. With no more muttering of the past, the silence was like a welcomed hug. He breathes in the fresh air as slow as he possibly can. A hallowed sigh escapes him afterword as if his lungs were already tired. The journalist has been standing out here for hours, it seems. If he desired, he could READ the other’s mind if there was a reason to ---- but there was no reason to.  

       ❝ IF you are still hungry, there will be snacks prepared for you in the common room --- ( After the numerous amount of 7 course meals, surely Daniel wasn’t hungry anymore. Though, who is to say if human’s are able to be hungry just as often as THEY are. )  MOSTLY baked goods as our chef is highly fond of the way she can makes sweet lemon cookies now & have someone ENJOY them. If you happen to eat one, do let me know how it tastes ----   ❞  Those easy lemon cookies pack a powerful lemon punch, so he was told.  They look SOFT & dense rather than cakey, how he wished he was able to try a bite. Humans to live among them, most have a sustained life style here in the tower --- comfortably knowing that vampire’s are the head of such a household, the DECORE on the walls says enough on who’s home it really is. Armand glanced up with a large innocent eyes. There was no expression readable on his face but he had to confine in being heard, so eye contact SEEMED important here.    / @reconciliatio​

perceivedpast asked: ❝ i don't sleep in a coffin.

                             ❝  YOU know that I too have not slept in a coffin for hundreds of years. We do not NEED to allow ourselves to be uncomfortable during the days rest. All that is needed is darkness, ever once has anyone said a coffin would be the only way to shield out the sunlight. Isn’t that funny ? -----  ❞   YET no one was laughing, not a soul --- Armand stared for a moment before looking down to the ground, idly. His fingers curled into his sleeves as he adjusted them above his wrists.  ❝ I am SURPRISED that you sleep at all, quite jealous, in fact. I haven’t really been sleeping in days, sometimes weeks. Though that’s on me, I become too paranoid when the sun sets. Even though at night is when I am supposed to be the most awake. Tell me, what is the secret of staying asleep during the day ? ❞

* i hope hell is nice and warm when we get there.   /  from @wolfkiler​

       ❝  HELL will spit you back out far quicker than you are able to tell the temperature. I must inform you that I am likely not welcomed there either. ---- so why mention such a FANTASY world ?   ❞   The fantasy GARBAGE dump, so some put it. How could they be the ones to go there when all their wrong doings was being erased by religion. As he spent his days bending like a contortionist in order for all his sins to be effaced from the likes of past doings. Perhaps that is where Lestat referred for him to go, the UNQUENCHABLE fire that took dear Nicki & the theatre & the streets of New Orleans. 

                                   ❝  WHY are you here ?  Say that I throw you into an enclosed trunk & throw you into the sewers.  ( A threat. ) ---- neither you nor I would likely go anywhere --- to NOTHING, to the deepest nigh of UTTER darkness & disorder. Or do we simply eat from the tree of Zaqqum. Watch we be damned to eat SUCH fruit that will begin to TEAR our bodies apart, only to release our bodily fluids as a punishment.   . . . . . . you should know how truthful I am. ❞    There was a stain of sarcasm on his lips as he spoke, head tilted to the side while he glanced toward the blonde, own eyes closing slowly to reopen. What was unheard of was someone ALREADY going there to only come back alive to speak of stories that had happened during that time, JUST as Lestat had done. Had he of known that he wouldn’t of said anything at all & simply thought of his stories as dreams. Dreams in which interpret places like heaven & hell to WHATEVER the individual mind comes up with. Only to wonder instantly what Lestat thought, stopping himself from reading such a diverting mind.

m0lloys asked: * it’s not my fault, it’s 4am and you’re fucking yelling at me!

                         YELLING ?  Is that what he calls it. No, he was simply being truthful & his voice was rising over the typical soft tone he talked in. How ELSE was he going to get it through the others thick stupid skull of the facts behind Ramadan.  The whole goal behind it was obvious --- but apparently, such a man hadn’t a clue. It didn’t matter the TIME, for as long as it was dark, Armand was usually awake.    ❝ Ramadan ends in a festival called Eid-al-Fitr, I THOUGHT maybe you would of known that, Mr. Journalist.  That is ALSO known as the Festival of Breaking the Fast. Muslims celebrate & give thanks for the strength Allah imparted in them during fasting.  . . . . & yes, that’s from everything. food, drink, smoking . . . sexual activity. EVERYTHING. Not just your little festival of giving thanks to some colonial white men.  ❞

vinduri asked: keep your hands to yourself. / from giulio

  Those hands were no where near ANYTHING but the books on the shelves. Fingers halted on a single page as he tilted his head to the side in question. Oh --- was it that he SHOVED the other out of the way in turn to get to the place he was standing now ?  He sensed that the other was aggravated almost IMMEDIATELY & found that he had backed up slowly, almost unaware he had done that in the first place.  ❝  . . . . my apologies, I hadn’t known what I was doing. Is this the what you were looking for ? ❞ He held out the book for a moment, waiting patiently for the stranger to recommence with whatever thought he had. To meet another vampire in the MIDDLE of an open public library during dusk wasn’t on either to do list, but it was possible. Armand DIDN’T care much for confrontations with strangers’ --- but if he wanted to prevent conflict then maybe he SHOULD learn manners.

luminescenc1e asked: ‘  mistakes are okay.  everyone makes them.  it’s okay to forgive yourself.  ’ / from vannesa ives (:

      ❝ FORGIVE? ---  I have, you see --- as I can not move forward unless I forgive my sins. Though, such a thing has taken so long for me to do. I’ve made so many mistakes in my life that are NOT worth bringing up .  .  . but thank you for reminding me again.  ❞  The last bit of what was said was done so through vain, almost SARCASTICALLY.  Who was this person to say such a thing toward the likes of Armand, as he was simply trying to not perceive the fact that he had a past at all.  Forgiveness is an approval, was it not ? --- perhaps it wasn’t right for him to forgive every mistake & WRONG doing he has done in his long life --- but how else were he to live with himself if he didn’t ? 

[armancl]

vampirecrack asked: ❝ can you turn in to a bat ? ❞

    HONESTLY he could almost laugh at such a question --- that was probably one of his favorite things human’s have come up with in terms of vampire lore. THAT & the fact that they supposedly didn’t have reflections. If that were the case, he would  have gone mad centuries ago . . .   ❝ No --- but wouldn’t that be cute ? ❞

[armancl]

lovecursd asked: ‘  mistakes are okay.  everyone makes them.  it’s okay to forgive yourself.  ’

❝  I believe EVERYTHING happens for a reason --- so who’s to say if what other’s see as mistakes were actually mistakes. I have nothing to forgive because I don’t think I ever did anything wrong.  ( -- You have, sir. . . but let’s pretend he didn’t, just for a moment. )  ❞   With a tile to his head, Armand sought the other to be questioning his morals of life. NOT many people did such a thing & it did most certainly grab his attention. Turning the page of the book that settled between finger tips, turning the page while eyes skimmed through the paragraph. Havin yet to GLANCE up toward the other who had opinions. The silence finally made dark hues shoot up from over the hard back.    ❝ . . . for the sake of conversation, say I have made mistakes, I wouldn’t forgive myself then.  ❞
