there are places in the world today that are experiencing 40°C for the first time in recorded history. of course there's no way to know whether chucking billionaires into volcanos will appease the sun god but i feel we're doing the scientific method a disservice if we don't at least try

I'm thinking about Armand's facial expressions in that scene with Lestat and Nicki (Sam and Joe ate that scene the fuck up by the way), and how uncomfortable and distressed he looks. Both he and Gabriella warned Lestat that Nicki wouldn't make it, but the look Armand gives Gabriella when she's laughing says it all. He didn't want to be right. He didn't want to say, "I told you so". He wanted to believe Lestat that Nicki would make it, but he knew. He fucking knew!

And thinking about how that moment must--centuries later--colour his feelings about turning Daniel.

The way Armand is there, witnessing Lestat lose his human lover-cum-fledgling in such a painful, heartbreaking way, and being obviously moved by it.

The way everyone he's ever known who has made a fledgling out of someone they loved has had it go terribly wrong. The way he vows that he'll never do it.

And then he meets a mortal boy he cannot bear to live without. And he still vows that he'll never do it. And he only does it when his hand is forced, and the only other option is a world where that boy no longer exists.

And that is why "turned out of spite in a fit of rage" is such a weak motivation for Daniel's turning, when the alternative is so wonderfully devastating.

They're coming back to us next week 😭

#I AM SCREAMING AND CRYING BECAUSE WHAT IF DANIEL SEES HIM LINGERING AND MISINTERPRETS? “YOU CAME HERE FOR HIM NOT FOR ME”#PLEASE JUST LET THEM HUG EVENTUALLY #IwtV #armandaniel #devil's minion #IwtV spoilers #TVL spoilers #Armand #Daniel Molloy

Lestat's feet leaving the stage, hovering, then settling back down, all so tentative, no showmanship -- he is FINDING HIMSELF, he's STARTING TO BE HIMSELF, something something a child's first steps IT GRABBED ME BY MY FOCKEN HEART!!!

#Lestat de Lioncourt #IwtV #IwtV s3 #TVL #IwtV spoilers #TVL spoilers

the "Armand told the truth" mystery phrase, resurfacing every episode with sinister brevity, has some delicious 2000s Doctor Who vibes: Bad Wolf, Harry Saxon, Torchwood, etc. I AM EXCITED!

okay, now I'm thinking it was actually a genius and much-needed move to not have Young!Daniel flashbacks this season. Let the people in the back undeniably see that this is Old Maniel being loved and desired, that Armand loves and wants him EXACTLY for who and what he is, not for some memory of what he was 40 years ago

#I swear people who “don't see it” need their eyes checked for ageism #IwtV #devil's minion #armandaniel #IwtV spoilers #the vampire lestat #also THEY ARE BOTH OLD MEN and it honestly gives them an absolutely gorgeous connection that is pretty unique to them #Daniel Molloy #Armand #o0o thinks #TVL spoilers #IwtV s3 #amc iwtv

That happen with you and Lestat? No. Oh.

#I'm still crying and screaming HE was so close to crying!#Eric chose violence with that hurt and lonely and broken “...oh”#IwtV #Daniel Molloy #armandaniel #devil's minion #IwtV s3 #The Vampire Lestat

I can't wait for Daniel to be a WEIRD vampire with a WEIRD gift, because boy, those were some Chekhov's Low-Hanging Balls!

#no way did Armand's marinated blue-balled ancient blood do nothing when unloaded for the very first time at 514 into a fledgling he lovessss #IwtV s3 #IwtV spoilers #Daniel Molloy #and he's having love-based religious experiences ahdjshdjd I am eating this up!#IwtV

Daniel Molloy the Divorce Ex Machina: causing plot-convenient divorces at least once per season

#IwtV #Daniel Molloy #The Vampire Lestat #IwtV s3 #IwtV spoilers #technically I guess

Just read the devils minion proposal fic, I love that Daniel says "armand, amadaes, arun" when he proposes, like he says that when he asks "where does the bullshit start" in canon, it's a really nice parallel

Waaaahhhh, anon, you are making me cry so close to my bedtime! I am so, so happy you liked it and that the reference landed! This is one of my favourite fics that I've written, so this means so much <3

#IwtV #o0o writes #devil's minion #armandaniel

Gah, thank you! There's definitely more coming, a Gasper WIP is one of the WIPs I'm currently writing in a s3-fuelled craze :D

#Gasper #Talamasca #o0o writes

Binge rereading all of your DM fics right now and they’re always better than I remembered

asjdfgjhsgd I am flailing and squealing! Anon, you are so lovely, omg! <3 <3 <3 I'm so happy you're enjoying them, and I promise more is coming, only I have no idea which WIP gets finished first, because all the s3 feelings are making me dash all over the place like a typhoon, I'm writing like 3 at the same time :D
