i genuinely regularly tear up about armand trying to warm daniel's locket in his hands before giving it to him in the devil's minion chapter. like you're fucking kidding. daniel is so unbelievably precious to armand. but it's not just that this one small gesture speaks to so much thoughtfulness and care and adoration, it's also that it's so revealing when it comes to the role vampirism plays in their relationship.

to armand, vampirism impedes his ability to care for daniel; he wants nothing more than to be more human for him. armand wants to perform this small kindness for his boy, but it's rendered ineffective by his lack of body heat. meanwhile, the gesture clearly still meant something to daniel if it stuck in his mind all those years and he thought it worth mentioning to lestat for his book. armand trying to warm the locket mattered because armand—who has also only ever been treated extremely callously himself—loved him enough to think to do it, not because it actually made a physical difference.

armand might see his own inhumanity as a barrier to loving daniel the way he thinks daniel deserves, but daniel has never seen it that way. daniel has never wanted armand to be more human, he's only ever wanted armand to love him.

You’ve got to respect the polycule, Louis. That was your first mistake

imo the most significant DM crumb in TVL, and the part we should be most excited about (and yet I think we blew past too quickly) is not the love declaration. It's not the past-DM confirmation. It's not daywalking. It's not companionship or "I'm seeing someone".

It's Daniel getting turned on that plane.

Almost everyone assumed Dubai. And Dubai lined up with spite, and revenge, and Assad's "a moment of savage madness".

Some of us really wanted that book-canon private jet turning, though we had no idea how the show was going to pull it off given the changes. Most of us doubted that they'd keep it to the private jet. We hoped, but we'd kind of left it up to fics.

But then they fucking did it.

And they made it so it happened weeks after the interview. Now there's this whole mystery surrounding it, and yeah they keep calling it murder, and Louis said spite... blah blah blah

Because that's what they want us to think.

But imo if they've given us the plane as his turning location, his BOOK CANON TURNING LOCATION, then I really think they're going to go all in, and the rest of his turning will be book accurate too.

THAT should be the DM hopecore we take away from TVL.

Thinking about present day armand and daniel tentatively working out their sleeping arrangements. armand seeing daniel's pathetic sleeping bag closet set up. daniel seeing how armand's expression goes blank and suddenly feeling so self conscious but before he can get defensive armand says "I have been neglecting to care for you; let me find you something more suitable" and the very next day they receive a huge package which armand effortlessly picks up before hesitantly asking if daniel would be fine with sleeping in armand's room and it makes daniel's heart squeeze to realise that armand is also self conscious and unmoored in this new delicate dance that they've been swept up in so ofc he says yes and they haul the package to armand's, no, their bedroom now and daniel wonders if the coffin is big enough for both of them to squeeze into it together and armand smiles so shyly and so sweetly as daniel opens the package and finds that armand had ordered him an XL dog crate

Normal ship: I am an unlovable monster and you are the only one who sees past that to the tenderness I hide.

The Devil’s Minion: You might look like a beautiful innocent boy but I see past that to the freaky giant man eating insect you hide and I deeply and sincerely understand praying mantises. Please bite my head off.

I took a deep breath and looked away from him, wishing I could say what I really wanted to say. That I loved him. But I couldn't do that. The feeling was too strong.

[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.

I bet everyone who had to work around daniel molloy’s fucked up schedule for the past two years and do everything after sunset because he is a “real vampire” and “will burst into flames” were pisseddddd after seeing that video of him out in broad daylight going viral

"Armand has always been good"

[lukelemon-art]

I'm obsessed with the concept of present day Daniel getting addicted to Armand's blood and demanding more and more and more… 💙🩷

[starfoozle]

Well this is a new one.

[softieskywalker]

i think the key difference between george lucas’s star wars and disney’s star wars is that lucas is a man with an ideology. someone with a point of view, and all that entails. which comes with ideas of revolution, anti-imperialism, challenging the status quo, cultural appropriation and racist stereotypes. complex and contradictory ideas because that’s how artists are: complex and complicated people. disney is not. disney is a corporation. a corporation can’t have ideology, because ideology defeats the purpose of profit. and when the only thing you do is to turn on the movie manufacturing machine before you sit down and plan what ideas are you trying to convey to the audience, then your results are going to be washed out corporate garbage. and because when you’re a giant corporation who only cares about selling to the widest audience possible, you can’t take sides. you can’t decide on an idea. because you want to sell your product to people who are on the entire political spectrum. which results in movies without ideology, without purpose, without soul.

I have been looking for this post for years after I came across it and it’s finally here and I need to reblog this because it is absolutely and entirely accurate.

#as I always say: lucas was making a samurai film and a ww2 flying ace film and a western film and adding laser swords#because he fundamentally LIKED samurai films and dambusters films and westerns and 40’s adventure serials#but disney are making a ‘star wars film’ and adding nothing because it already had laser swords and they have nothing else to say#xerox of a xerox baybeeeee (via harrietvane)
