So you somehow end up on a private jet with someone three weeks after they blew up your entire life and that’s when you decide to get violent?

Nope. Literally no part of that makes sense. Armand doesn’t kill like that anyway, but especially not Daniel. There’s no universe where Armand breaks his “no turning” rule out of anger. This is a vampire who is continually riled up by the people around him over and over and nothing remotely like that has happened. He threw Daniel around a bit in the 70s but when it came to actually trying to kill him, he was gentle. That’s his thing. He’s not attacking Daniel, and especially not under the circumstances in which we know Daniel’s turning happening.

I’m serious. Try and create that scenario. Create a believable scenario where Armand not only waits for three weeks, but waits until he’s trapped in a metal box with Daniel and that’s when he decides he’s actually going to attack him. He went to the airport with him, boarded the jet, waited for takeoff, endured the flight and then when they were either in Newark or passing over Newark, that’s when he decided he actually wanted to indulge in some violence. Mind you there’s not a thing in the world Daniel could possibly do or say to piss him off more than causing Louis to leave him. Louis who was effectively a god to him. Armand was abandoned by a god-like figure (not for the first time but that’s another post) and it still wasn’t enough to make him jump Daniel in Dubai.

There’s no world where it was spite or there was an attack. Nothing about that makes sense and we have to stop treating every interview like it is 100% trustworthy and that the actors know the content of scripts that haven’t even been written yet. Assad and Eric just say shit sometimes. It’s part of their charm. They don’t know what’s going on either.

S2 is the best season of iwtv because it has the most armand in it

[userarmand]

he was alarmingly handsome in the muted lamplight :((( <3333

[userarmand]

armand de loverboy <3 armand de verbose <333

[kaetor]

armand fits as described various times in the vampire chronicles. specific instances under the cut

roughly clockwise:

from the devil's minion chapter in qotd:

from the scene in the villa of mysteries where Daniel and armand first kiss/share blood in qotd

from interview with the vampire:

another one from the devil's minion chapter

(outfit in the middle) from the dm chapter, on night island

an outfit worn in memnoch the devil, as described by lestat and then Armand in tva

from Prince Lestat

from qotd, what he wears turning daniel

and from tva

[roanlovesvampires]

the line "he sometimes lingers when boats come into harbor" did more for Armand's character development than the entirety of season 3 ngl

[whooshsoohw]

I really enjoyed and admired how in TVL Eric managed to make it so readable that Daniel wanted to be angry at Armand, but his heart was never really in it lol. Like, he was giving “Fuck you, but actually come closer and kiss me” vibes basically the entire time. It was really funny and endearing.

[yaoiblackmold]

This is why I get so mad when people say his acting is bad! I've seen so many complaints about how "his anger dosen't look convincing" but that's literally the point!!!! He wants to be mad at Armand but he literally can't!!! It's fake anger!

[bird-prince-afterhours]

Obi-Wan can't kill Anakin because of his attachment but straight up thinks that Luke should be able to and even seems confused by Luke's hesitation. He really believes he has the right not to kill Anakin over Anakin's own flesh and blood. Wow wow wow wow. Wow.

the first time Armand hisses at Daniel is when he is trying to make the stupid boy understand that being followed by a bloodthirsty monster is a BAD thing. and the damned boy just offers him a drink!!!

the second time Armand hisses at Daniel is just about 2 years into the relationship (669 days since Daniel first invited him home, but Armand keeps his documentation private.) and Armand does not do it to incite terror in his beloved’s soul, nor to prove a point, but because Daniel says a growing boy needs breakfast lunch and dinner and he has spent the past 3 days curled up on Daniel’s couch watching Bob Ross tapes and a weak little hiss is all Armand could muster before Daniel presses his wrist into the kid’s fangs himself

thinking about louis and armand again. they lived 77 years together. my grandparents are celebrating 53 this year and they are practically telepathic. so coordinated, never separated. it makes me nauseous to think about. "drawing numbers on each other's backs and pretending to guess them wrong." yeah, because no matter how much pain and resentment there is between two people, spend enough time together and you'll grow attached regardless. small gestures come to mean so much. the pressure on a shoulder to calm the other down, finishing each other's sentences. "keep selling it." no one wants to buy it because it's hard won knowledge that only reveals itself through time and patience. such an impossibly fragile a thing to persist.

and now seeing how lost they are, you can imagine the type of rafter they were for each other. people like to focus on the negative aspects of their relationship, but sail 77 years through the madness and the beauty and you'll grow fond of the sea all the same. this has to count for something, even for a vampire?
