k say what y'all will about armand's arc this season but i LOVED this last episode! it explained so much!!!

episode 3: armand goes to an AA meeting-- but we don't know why he's there.

episode 4: armand is sponsoring alex-- again we don't know why, but alex sees him as a god. armand goes to apologize to lestat and daniel. lestat rejects the apology entirely, humiliates him in front of an audience. daniel rejects it initially, though he does go to find armand after the concert.

episode 5: armand meets with daniel again, trying desperately to make himself understood. they reconcile.

episode 6: armand and daniel decapitate louis and lestat, seemingly out of nowhere

now, episode 7:

finally it's explained why armand went to AA-- to find susceptible followers. remember he found daniel, an addict, 50 years ago-- i like to think that past devil's minion will be canon, so armand has had an addict as a devotee before.

armand gives louis his apology, and forces louis to either apologize, or die. this clarifies for us why he did the apology tour-- as a last chance for daniel and lestat to repent. daniel succeeded (and armand obv was biased by love), lestat failed. since lestat already failed, daniel got to keep his head. since louis hadn't been put through the apology yet, armand kept his head to interrogate it.

i really see this whole scene as an excellent continuation of armand's character! what's important is that he sees himself as the one wronged. this is a consistent character trait of his. this is why he gives everyone a chance to apologize. if they can make amends, they can keep their lives. in the end, what saves louis? the acknowledgement of armand's traumatic past, what he needed from a lover to heal from that, and all the ways that louis was unable to provide that healing.

once louis acknowledges armand as the victim, he's allowed to live.

anyway i love armand and i love this show and assad zaman is the best actor of all time and also gorgeous

You know when there's like, a straight show and everyone's like "it's full of queer subtext between the main straight dudes, and this character is obviously autistic and they really meant to say trans rights"? And then there's a queer show and all of a sudden it's "no but they weren't sensitive about this character's trauma and the queer sex scenes are too short and they're all problematic as fuck, i can't even watch"? And then our shit doesn't get renewed, and we hated on it the whole way for not embodying the perfection we'd never dream of demanding from the straight show?

Yeah, something like that

How is it that you can a music library of like 1,200+ absolute bangers but as soon as you put it on shuffle in a group setting it's like. anime opening you added in 2010. homestuck parody song. musical artist who was cancelled last year for kidnapping and eating children in his basement. Hamilton

"They tried to kill eachother!!" oh my godddd that was only a couple of timessss and they were literally flirtingggg shut uppppp

[cupidsncheerios]

actually the real risk with being companionless/covenless as a vampire isn't soul-crushing loneliness it's the fact that isolated vampires just start doing anything. four grown ass men got divorced last season and the second they live alone lestat starts a middling soundcloud career, louis starts stalking some poor waitress, daniel becomes a bowling fanatic, and armand is in fucking ohio

i bring a sort of “you should maybe interrogate your so-called ‘preferences’ to make sure they’re not literal textbook examples of severe unconscious bias” vibe that my woke gay friends dont really like

[mephistopheles]

what this post does NOT mean

go out and fuck someone you aren’t attracted to because a stranger on tumblr said to

go out and date someone you aren’t attracted to because a stranger on tumblr said to

You’re Not Allowed To Be Gay Anymore

what this post DOES mean

if you just ‘prefer’ to avoid majority black areas of your city

if you just ‘prefer’ to read, write, think, and talk about men

if you just ‘prefer’ to socialize with people you (perceive as) your assigned birth sex

if you just ‘prefer’ to exclusively watch white-directed movies, read white-written books, listen to white-authored music

if you just unconsciously perceive men as more authoritative/competent and ‘prefer’ to be spoken to by them

this is a post about acknowledging unconscious bias. it is not a post about dating. please stop coming into my inbox and accusing me of rape apologism and telling me to kill myself. thank you
