#lamourstre. independent , selective & mutually private portrayal of the vampire armand based primarily in amc's interview with the vampire ( 2022 & 2024. ) show verse with flavor & headcanon reliant. follow at your own discretion. uses beta editor exclusively. basic rp etiquette is expected, please read rules & carrd before interacting. personals & minors dni. only follow if you intend to write with me. formally #mortange.

important links : carrd. please read. prompts. affiliated with: @ariamuses , @sanctifisol

please look at my rules before following / interacting. everything crucial to my portrayal of armand can be located in my card ( as well as the full important, additional rules ) which is linked above. I really appreciate it in advance !

I do not respond to: following / unfollowing to get my attention ( please be patient with my response time when checking out new blogs ) non mutuals / non rp blogs interacting with my posts , I do not interact, entertain or associate with anyone who participates in ANY form of bigotry or complete nonsense. please, don't be gross. at this point, I expect we all know what that entails. I see it, I block it.

formatting: the icon template used on this blog is from calisources by commission. I use small / regular font with minor spacing depending on my writing partner's formatting. I write in third person often but i am experimenting with first person and will write it with anyone interested.

exclusively here to have fun. my time spent between blogs ( or off ) / response both ic and ooc etc. doesn't reflect my desire to be here, write or plot with you. I'm not always constantly active but I'll do my best to engage if you do too <3. I take awhile to respond both ic / ooc sometimes all I ask is that you don't rush or attempt to pressure me please. if any problems arise, please communicate with me civilly. I am very straightforward and would prefer if you were too.

portrayal note: as per amc's iwtv ( 2024 ) armand is aged 27 years old upon his turning. he is an adaptation of the show & very criticizing of book content as there's so much of armand's character I disagree with from ar, think of it as show adaptation with personal flavor. please read through all information provided in carrd. however, I lean a lot of my portrayal through book items by my own discretion & headcanons, because there's some show things I also don't agree with.

one thing about me : I do not tolerate marius de romanus and I will hardblock if any blogs come near mine. the character makes me incredibly uncomfortable and I'm not interested in anyone who condones the presence of that character. I will not follow you if you write or interact with this character. please respect this, keep this in mind, the character and those who support are not welcome. multimuses / " character redemption " not exempt. I don't mean to sound harsh, I'm just keeping my space safe.

PLEASE BE AWARE: armand's origin involves grooming and sa which he is a victim of both. this content nor his experiences will never be written on this blog. there may be instances where he recalls his past but never in any exploitative or vivid manner for the fact that doesn't define him or his story / character.

content: considering the nature of the character, the content and genre of interview with the vampire there will be a plethora of mature themes present including but not restricted to: blood, gore, violence, religious trauma, body mutilation, blood consumption, addiction, death heavy plots, death idolization, religion, PTSD, depression, existential thoughts on life and death, manipulation & murder. triggers will be tagged with : word / . please don't hesitate to ask me to tag anything.

interaction / writing: the easiest way to write with me is to continue memes I answered and turning them into threads. or alternatively, I will reblog anything you answer as a thread if muse strikes. . feel free spam me with memes / prompts. I tend to write a lot or I stick to one liners depending on muse which, don't feel obliged to match.

PLEASE NOTE : armand is a multifaceted and morally complex character that, you can't really paint broad strokes of all good or all bad. he lies, has committed murder, heinous acts and is a killer. he is a vampire. there will be inconsistencies in what he says, he is almost always performing. i obviously do not condone his actions , and it's not my goal to make you love him, but understand his reasonings. but if these themes bother you, this may not be the blog for you. he is a multifaceted character , oftentimes presented as a villain or antagonist in other characters stories, but so is true with every character and it does not negate his own story. and i won't reduce him to one thing & i ask that you don't either. . click here.

ASSAD ZAMAN as Armand Interview with the Vampire ‣ "No Pain"

[natalieironside]

If you're a writer you're supposed to write a lot of bullshit. It's part of the gig. You have to write a lot of absolute garbage in order to get to the good bits. Every once in a while you'll be like "Oh, I wish I hadn't wasted all that time writing bullshit," but that's dumb. That's exactly the same as an Olympic runner being like "Oh, I wish I hadn't wasted all that time running all those practice laps"

each word is a paper cut on his skin . louis can feel the furrow of his brow deepening with each sentence --- he would ignore that sudden shift that evening but not in future ones : armand had flashed in and out of existence in a second , like a blinking neon light , one moment vulnerable and melancholic , the next ancient and threatening , using a sharpness in his words which louis was not used to being poked with . he had always thought the maître to be a cruel mask armand wore to appease the coven and this , the sweet man standing by the window , to be his real honest self ; a version of him only louis was allowed to see . was he mistaken ? could it be that armand was both these men ? NONE OF THEM ? questions are thrown at him in the form of words and thoughts and louis has to flare his nostrils , hoping that exhaling would alleviate the pressure he suddenly felt over his shoulders .

why is it difficult to accept that title , companions ? emerald eyes are glued to the back of the other vampire's head . a blond figure walks out of the living room and into the kitchen and , though it cannot possibly be real , louis could swear he heard the floorboards creak beneath its' weight . " you know why . " louis is surprised at how raspy his voice sounds --- the subject weakens him , causes something misshapen and embarrassing to stir deep in his chest . louis does not want to face it . and neither should armand .

when his paramour turns to face him , he is once again reminded of the vampire's disconcerting beauty . immediately something in his expression softens . but when armand professes his eternal loneliness , louis shakes his head , clearly frustrated with the subject . " there you go , already on another fuckin' planet . " words spoken under his breath while dextrous fingers try to untie the scarf around his neck but the knot is a bit too tight .

instead , louis battles with the piece of cloth for far too long .

" is that what's most important to you ? knowin' what other people will call us ? " the anger rising up his body has been redirected towards the stupid blue scarf . the mere sight of the other man's eyes had been enough to cage any urges to initiate a confrontation . " you told me to call you armand , i told you to call me whatever you like --- " louis shrugs , emerald eyes rising up to give the coven's maître a small quirk of his eyebrow . " so who's this really gonna be for , huh ? you or your coven ? "

needed, but not wanted. liked, but not loved .. observed but not seen. centuries have been lived, such as louis could possibly not understand and armand endures a betraying stab of both hurt and anger towards his lover's surface level , flippancy. later, he will understand these feelings were .. misplaced. even in the face of louis' snipes, armand has the audacity to begin the longstanding, improper habit of turning in himself. " I am right here, it is YOU .. " he cuts in and out as fast as it happens : louis, meandering thoughts of lestat, lestat, lestat ! a parasitic disease that louis does not understand is anything but. that. tight lipped and burning, a bitter laugh chokes him in a melodic tune. an act that armand will do again and again and again in the arrested development that cages his being in shades of yesterdays in opposition of centuries ago. an adolescent outburst. would not be the last.

louis does not kiss his wounds, does not bend in the way armand fantasizes in the face of .. what love should be ( what he wants it to be ) .. " oh .. " he breathes, gold and honey peering straight at him. " you said to call us whatever I wanted and when I tried, " an outstretched finger points at the stupid, blue scarf tangled in his hands. " you denied .. " ME. it's softer than he'd like, than what armand would ever spend more than a second in those feelings. louis shrugs, armand loses it.

" it's for me, " quiet, he looks away then. it's for him partially, the thick of it, at least. armand wants to know what they are to louis and, the embarrassment he faced before his coven, yes , would salve no wounds armand was tending. the pale face of santiago , gleeful in louis' dismissal & rejection of armand would not be missed. it was both disappointing and irritating that his lover could not ( or wouldn't ) see that. " you bring up the coven ONLY when you wish to be cruel, fine. but I see .." YOU. " you want to be with me, here ? " he passes louis to motion haphazardly in his apartment, careful, echoes of his steps ( too far, too late ) until he's facing that wall, scattered with photographs.

it was both isolating , and .. sad. such a melancholy that felt as it's own experience. bereft of the warmth he found in louis, in his seeming refusal of understanding. OBSERVED BUT NOT SEEN. armand wanted to tear his skin off. oh, how .. small and pathetic, the vampire appeared. was he, not enough ? this small, measure of romance. was the world. to louis, was it simply .. a vacation ?

Q : what’s peculiar about your soul ?

A : your soul is cold / much like your body, the soul is frigid and still. It barely moves- barely finds the strength with which to hover... It simply sits like a lame animal, bringing an air of discomfort to all who bear witness to it. It sucks the energy from the very room, leaving in its place an uncomfortable feeling of... sickness. You can not move. You can not breathe. You can not think. You feel so overwhelmingly dead. So cold. So dead.

What's a mediocre star to a 514-year-old vampire?

Assad Zaman as Armand | Interview with the Vampire (2022-)

[armandmoved]

followed because i ADORE how fascinating armand is + wanted to see/learn more about him and stayed because your depiction of them is so unique and you perfectly balance how his history has impacted his actions without reating him like a saint or villain

tell me why you followed & what made you stay / accepting.

this isn’t the first time I’ve been told this and I’m really glad that the way I’m portraying him / talking about him is coming through as… trying to explain him rather than regarding him as a “saint or villain “ because he’s really more nuanced than that ( like all these ar vampires ) it’s about explaining his own history = actions, why he did xyz, ( not excusing them ) etc, and I’m glad that it’s reading that way. also thank you for sticking around / taking interest in my yapping 🩷

[leaten-m-deactivated20250425]

so what if he fucked up? it was an accident. and trying to defend himself to armand is getting nowhere but on his last nerve. that's why he shifts gears into an empty apology. sorry synonymous with whatever; the difference didn't matter in the past. but this time? who fucking knows. all of this is new to him. armand and their situation in general — worth a shot, though.

@lamourstre : “ sorry isn’t good enough. ”

well. that's the brakes. “ — jesus christ. ” his head tips back against the wall he's leaning on. followed by an arm unravelling from across his chest into a vague gesture. the other stays defensively put. “ whad'd'you want from me then? huh? ” so much for trying to diffuse this. and what counts as 'good enough' to armand, he wonders in the midst. guess he's going to find out. maybe he should be worried about it. he should probably be worried about it. but is he? not exactly.

[armandmoved]

upon the swears of mortal men ( or , perhaps .. not quite ) the vampire narrows his eyes. a cruel, rather puckish smile carves it's way onto his face — it could be, that, this shape was a simple .. undoing, rather than grand revelation. he looked like a boy .. masquerading as a man .. a cupid , with a menacing smile. " your .. false gods do not love you enough to save you, " come and go the whispers born from bitter lips — but, that was a story the vampire often refused to tell. brash & stupid, armand smiles — lee reminds him of the boy, the brash young reporter with a point of view.

a sopping wet thud crumbles between the point of his boot, and the lifeless corpse dead to the world, beneath his heel. " this meat bag .. was mine for the taking.. " the other — this is lee — reeks of old, rotten blood that poisons the tongue. he is caked in the dry of it, painting his jaw, slack beneath his nails .. if he were a vampire, armand could understand .. but, he's not. just another body to be found. no one would look, would they ? they never do. " a mess .. you, are a mess. " he muses, raking his eyes up from the ground. " anthropophagus.. " he rolls jellied blood between his middle and index.

Shh. Rest. I've been calling to you for some time. From every bad fix. From the unnamed malaise you feel Sunday afternoons. And now here I am, and you can rest. I don't want to rest.
