the list of things i love about this!!
CAN I START WITH THE COVER. look at them!! ;___;
Daniel using his press badge to get in for free.... and Armand of course, side-eyeing him XD 'so cheeky, my boy...'
"You're a comedian, beloved." MY HEART!! IS SO FULL!!
'i want to give you everything why don't you want me to give you everything' will forever be the most
(also the hand on Daniel's back ;_;)
no, he was not going to ask, noooo. (maybe he really wasn't, but he'll always worry & consider every option for his beloved twice or thrice)
"We'll leave it to someone who needs it more." ok this is absolutely a front / not the real reason, but damn Daniel, that's still generous. leave it for someone without a vampire lover to prop them up!!
the colors begin!! and the painting facts, ofc
aaand there's the Marius mention.... is it intentional that the room goes very red there? i assume it must be
Armand's faaaace. aaaahhh
love is knowing your partner's obsessive tendencies very well <33
i like learning this artist's story (good man, stand your ground, screw these rich assholes), but do i spy... an embrace? a tender close moment at the very least?? it might be small and sharing space with a lot of text, but you can't fool me!!!!
also, Daniel playfully calling Armand "babe".... Armand going still for a moment and..blushing???... and Armand grinning like a shark and declaring the game on....... a thousand kisses, right there
"Is this why you insisted taking the metro here?" oh my HEART. Daniel convincing an old vampire of new tricks, Daniel trying to stay humble, in-touch with humanity. i LOVE IT. i want to ride the metro with them ;__; (sounds weird, but sue me, i love public transportation. and them! so win-win combo for me :3)
(and can i just say.... i love that you put different random people's faces in focus at times. makes the whole space feel really alive, almost *real*. amazing no notes.)
honestly, in the first moment i didn't even clock why Armand asked Daniel if he wanted to sit down - it's lovely sitting down at an exhibition you enjoy!! especially with your love there (i imagine, at least)
"People probably think you're my disability assistant." i made. noises. i will take every bit, every SHADOW of outsider!POV that i can get, and i WILL cheer it okay!!!
ok this isn't really a 'love' point, this is a question. what's so funny/absurd about the word "ableism"?? old men, i swear XD
are those... are those shaky hands? 🥺🥺
his daughters following his footsteps will forever have my heart
🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 kiss?? or even without kiss. that's so tender i'm!!!
aaand there's the shot from the cover :3 in even prettier, with fancy background!
i should not be giggling about their expressions so much when they're fighting (even minorly), should i
"tone the lurking down a bit" as if he can, Daniel XD (as if you really mind)
the memory!! love the wife's and daughter's hair... and oh the SELFIE, i'm gonna cry!!!!!!
something, something about the new partner encouraging the connection to the former partner/kids. GOD.
Armand: options are our driver or the metro.
Daniel: cab.
i love them XD
i'm not gonna cry over handholding (or Fareed reference, Fareed and Daniel "ancient vamp's boytoy club" when), i am not
their faaaaces. never over how you draw angry (or cheeky) expressions <33
"Mm. Elder abuse. I think I'd like that." can you develop a kink for smth you technically already liked before, asking for a friend. (that friend is very taken with this line delivery and swears she can literally hear Daniel say it)
Armand's love. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh
what do you mean meds work great Daniel, Daniel what do you mean- (rhetorical question)
