NEVER LOWER YOUR EYES TO AN ENEMY

I'm a this-and-that kind of girl. Ten fingers, ten pies. Potpourri, Russian roulette. It's a real mixed bag. Ray. 21+. I like a lot of things.

I think the reason DM is so unsatisfying right now is because this season's arc didn't begin until the halfway mark only to immediately drop HUGE reveals the likes of which feel better reserved for a season finale and rushed onward with no time to breathe.

and we've STILL only scratched the surface of Daniel's turning, arguably the only real cliffhanger from the s2 finale. was it really the forced, violent act we've been led to believe? what was the catalyst? why did Armand leave?

it somehow simultaneously feels like all of the cards have been placed on the table and none at all. intuitively, you'd think there must still be something else big to come by season's end but at this point it's hard to imagine it being granted the space to land.

there are a lot of posts dooming about the concept of past devil's minion apparently being jossed in the show and also a lot of posts wondering why people are making the aforementioned doomposts

it's true that nothing actually in the show itself thus far excludes the possibility that dm became an actual relationship at some point within those 52 years. Armand is known to lie, including by omission, and considering how poorly Daniel has received what he's learned of Armand's involvement in his life thus far and the memory wipe of San Francisco, it's easy to understand why Armand would be reluctant to disclose more, especially when he didn't even plan to confess to Daniel yet in the first place.

the issue is that early last week an article was released where Rolin Jones said the following: "In the book, it's all about a human and a vampire falling in love. We've removed that, and we've also aged [Molloy] up, so we have different circumstances"

now, this article is a bit sloppy. it gets QotD's publication date wrong by a decade, which could have been a simple typo, but it's a bad look that no one cared enough to proofread/factcheck. it's possible the quote is not completely accurate or lacking further context. it's also, and perhaps even more, possible that Rolin is just fucking lying because he has also been known to do that, probably to avoid spoiling his own show but perhaps also just for sport.

however, it is impossible to avoid what has been so clearly stated if there was no real incentive to lie when something more vague could have been said instead if the goal was to obscure future reveals

peace and love to everyone but it's giving:

actually, can we talk about how 3x05 made Daniel's backstory even more confusing?

his daughter graduated from a four year university (Rice) in 2002. therefore she cannot be the result of Alice's 1985 pregnancy, as that kid would have only been around 13 when Graduate Daughter started classes. this confirms something of the hazy timeline from the infamous Buick anecdote insofar there was in fact a daughter in 1978 (7 years before car seats became mandatory, aka 1985) and it wasn't entirely a weird transposition in memory. but who was her mother? does Daniel have a mysterious unmentioned babymama out there? or was she Alice's first child, and if so, why did Daniel only propose when Baby #2 was on the way, several years after the first one? and why, if Alice rejected his first proposal because she considered him too untrustworthy to marry, did she stay with him so long and have a whole second child with him?

the 1985 pregnancy alone now has a weirder timeline:

Alice announces she's pregnant to Daniel while they're in Paris (presumably in the first trimester if she'd just recently found out)

they're still in Paris during her third trimester when Daniel proposes, after "getting his shit together" some unspecified time earlier

Alice rejects him due to trust issues

she then accepts another attempt while they're still in Paris

they marry

Daniel relapses and ends up under an overpass while Alice is still pregnant

why were they in Paris so long? what caused Alice to suddenly change her mind about the proposal only for Daniel to severely fall off the wagon a short time later? were they having some whirlwind months or did the writers room forget to check their work?

Now obviously the hard part of launching a land invasion of Heaven will figuring out where they hid the hole. Finding the miniscule aperture, the hole in physical reality to which all souls are translocated at the moment of death, and then jamming something sturdy in there, getting it in reallll good and working it around until it's big enough to fit some guys with guns through. But the nice part is that the nature of Heaven means that, one, not many people get in in the first place, and two, none of them are good at fighting, because people who're good at fighting mostly don't go to heaven. Except us, when we find the hole. The point is that once we're in there's not much they're gonna be able to do. Pretty much we'll have free run of the place
