i feel like turning the torture scene in the finale into a louis fan vs armand fan thing is a very fandom-focused perspective to take that ultimately trivializes the very real racism of the writers and production behind it. like, the roles of both characters in that scene are obscenely racist. having louis, a black man, be brutalized and forced to take blame and apologize for abuse done to him is horrific. it’s also incredibly offensive to have a south asian, implied muslim, character be cartoonishly evil by spilling the blood of his victims (louis and regina) in a jewish butcher shop

don’t turn this into character vs character fandom war when there are layers to the racism, including pitting the main nonwhite characters against each other

#anybody who is seriously able to contend with discussions about race wouldn’t do this but it’s been patently obvious for years now that the #only reason louis/armand generate so many disingenuous #opinions is because people are always glad to have an excuse to deploy racism against a character and feel morally justified in doing so by #concealing it with a veneer of social justice while they defend one of them #the vampire lestat

Compliment: You are very easy to humiliate

Pretty bad compliment

and if i said they didn't anticipate jacob and assad's chemistry to translate as warmly as it did onscreen which is why they're now desperately trying to convince us that there was never any love between loumand despite the evidence to the contrary

#shrugger dot gif it was fairly obvious when they started pulling loumand material for s3 loustat and 3.07 ended up being a bastardised #version of 2.05. Your Non Endgame Poc Couple Had More Chemistry And Talent Than The Other Two & Now We Have To Deal With It.#instead of just making the vampire polyamorous like they canonically are in the books. ok #the vampire lestat

spending the day at an art museum can genuinely save you

fully insane theyre gonna drag jacob and assad out for a panel at sdcc like what on earth are they supposed to say they got some of the worst fucking scripts baffling character choices jacob had to be talked into and were sidelined for most of the season like... and tho im sure the majority of fans that turn out for this will be the ones that think this season was a masterpiece or whatever the types of fans that will want to turn out to see jacob or assad specifically probably have not a single good word to say about the season like... is some crazy armand fan gonna get on the mic and tell rolin to kill himself?

"Daemon now sees his ex-wife as an unpredictable threat given how close she is to Rhaenyra. On the other hand, Mysaria knows Daemon can't be fully trusted. But if that wasn't enough, there's always the chance that things could get worse." (x)
