Daniel calling Armand friendless and a shitty dad who abandons his kid

[scribeherself]

it’s the way miss americana was framed as this massive, tearful political awakening where she finally broke her silence because she couldn’t bear to be on the wrong side of history... only for her to pivot entirely in every aspect of her life + releasing 47 vinyl variants of the same album to block independent artists + dating problematic men while the world burns. the documentary was nothing more than a marketing campaign to rebrand her as an underdog. she literally told us she’s a mastermind, why are people still shocked when the math adds up to pure capitalism? and before anyone tries to yell misogyny: it is entirely possible to think the media historically mistreated her and think her current corporate greed is indefensible. both can be true. equality doesn't mean women get a free pass to operate like a multinational conglomerate without criticism. she explicitly capitalized on a faux-feminist, politically active rebrand in miss americana to gain cultural favor. weaponizing feminism as a shield against legitimate critique—like her silence on human rights issues or her massive carbon footprint—actually degrades the movement. you can love her music and still recognize that billionaire status requires exploitation, regardless of gender.

i love the 3x05 loustat scene in the car bc we’re immediately right back where we started. louis launches into a monologue about claudia, trying to process something related to his responsibility towards her, and all lestat can think as he sits there listening is why isn’t he asking about me. he might as well be lighting playing cards on fire; it’s 1x05 all over again. louis is unable to move on (“claudia, come home. i know i hurt you, i know i can make it right again”) while lestat feels abandoned and retreats into jealousy and victimization. “next time someone tries to murder me, pick up the phone” is 95ish years removed from “i have patiently waited in vain for you to love me as i love you”, but they mean the same thing. they expose the same vein in lestat. so much has changed. this hasn’t changed. claudia is dead. but this hasn’t changed. do you think they find something a little comforting in that?

The reveals this episode makes the scene in season 2 so much more funny. Daniel giving shit to loumand for having Lestat as their shared boyfriend when the whole time he’s been the third in their little psychosexual experiments. Ha ha you both fucked Lestat says the reporter to the two vampires, one of whom has been chasing him around for half a century and the other one who’s been sitting at home with a clipboard jotting down the findings

[bifauxnenarmand]

It's twice now that they've shown us what words can really hurt armand. he's unaffected by any insults, even references to his traumas "your daddy groomed you into a little bitch" "are you a ragdoll for sale?", until it concerns his desirability. like how his famous yandere meltdown starts only when louis calls him boring, and when he has a hurt look on his face and leaves lestat's concert after he sings "he asked me 'was it good' I said comme ci, comme ça". because amadeo is supposed to have a skill, and if you remove the one thing that he thinks makes him useful to others, he's nothing. just an eager black hole

[socratesgirl]

the dm scene great but my favourite part was when armand added in a little gossip in the middle of all of the "for 52 years i have loved you and remember when you needed to cry really bad one day i made sure you got to do that alone in a pretty church and i have done little things for you and loved you for that long and also lestat is FUCKING HIS MOM isn't that crazy"
