“Anderson indulges in minor explosions as Louis, but he excels in implosion. Louis is a slightly more active part, mainly because of the interactions with mortals, which makes his inward retreats that much more pronounced. All of a sudden, it seems, there’s nobody home. When Anderson checks out, he leaves a completely abandoned space behind.” - Tony Sokol, Den of Geeks

The Vampire Lestat 3.06 Montreal 3.07 The Failures
What did that last line mean: Not for you. Never. For him.
Probably that all of that was for Lestat. Not Armand. Especially kissing Armand in front of Lestat in Magnus's tower.
Him leaving and staying with Armand was a punishment for Lestat, any punishment for Armand and his part the trial was secondary.
Louis basically told Lestat that him being with Armand was a punishment for him to his face.
Armand hit the nail on the head when he said that the orginal interview was meant to provoke Lestat to come to him.
Why do you think that when Louis finds out the truth about Lestat saving him, he immediately left Armand and went to Lestat?
I don't remember what I originally thought upon my initial watch but this makes sense. This season gave me a lot to chew on so I will go back and re-watch the whole series before season 4.
These vampires can hold a frickin grudge!
I think he carried me home that night. And the next morning I was standing in the crooked stone street in front of his father’s shop, tossing pebbles up at his window. When he stuck his head out, I said: “Do you want to come down and go on with our conversation?”
living in this moment forever :)

hello ❤️
i love your blog and i have respect for your judgement. i was wondering if you are willing to discuss armand's three apologies to lestat, louis, and daniel? what does each letter means for him and how come it was only louis that got so brutally tortured by him, while we dont even see lestat suffering from the beheading? and how come he felt like he wronged daniel the most? is it just because of the forced turning or else? finally, how do you see armand's relationship and dynamic with those three in season 4?
thank you for answering!
Hello! 👋🏾
First, thank you for the kind words about respecting my judgment. That is really nice to hear. 🙂
As for the three apologies, well ... Armand technically only apologised to Daniel and Lestat.
Louis didn't really get an apology. What Louis got was Armand basically confessing about the many ways Armand had deceived and fucked with Louis' head over the years, starting all the way back in Paris. And that the only reason he'd been with Louis was that it was a way for him to survive, which he realized he'd mistakenly thought was love.
Armand revealing all of that wasn't really an apology because Armand clearly didn't feel sorry about any of it.
What he was was cold with anger.
No, Armand really revealed all of that because he wanted Louis to apologize to him, because Louis wasn't in love with Armand and did all that he did with Armand only because of being in love with Lestat and, at heart, wanting to be with Lestat.
And that the relationship with Armand had been built on mutual deceptions from both of them.
Armand wanted Louis to openly confess to that and everything Louis did with/to Armand because of that.
Armand very much felt Louis owed him that.
And that is very much not how the 12-step program works.
When you do such apologies, you are supposed to do it without any expectation that the person will forgive you or apologize for any wrong you may still think they did to you.
When Armand went to apologize to Daniel and Lestat, notice he didn't say or expect anything in return from them, when they were cold and dismissive towards him.
Even though, from what it looks like in retrospect at the moment, he did begin fucking with Lestat's band even before that apology he gave to him, by getting into Alex's head and puppeting him, "just to cause chaos." Which is something that got buried in the plot clutter in the season finale and was easy to miss, and I realized he'd said that after it got mentioned in the tags in a reblog I had of this post (thank you @itwasanangryinch).
So, when you look at the overview of it all? The only person Armand gave any sort of apology to, without fucking with them beforehand (puppetering Alex) as well as after (with the murder of Larry wrt Lestat), or because he wanted some reciprocation in turn with an admission of what he saw as that person's own failing towards him about it all (Louis), was Daniel.
And yes, as I said in one of my most recent posts, I do think Armand has been lying by omission to Daniel since EP305. But that lie came about from him telling Daniel that he loved him in EP304, which I 100% think Armand never intended to do at the time.
But once he did, he just decided to go with it and get back together with Daniel via it. 🤷🏾♀️
Which, no, is not sustainable, but the apology that led to it happening, I do think, was the only one that had no underlying resentments tied to it (Lestat). Or actions that were really more about getting the other person to apologize to him (Louis).
So yeah, the "apology" each person received reveals Armand's mindset about them at the time, in my opinion. The content of Daniel's apology can only be speculated about. We didn't get to hear the full thing Armand wrote to Daniel, so IMO the reason he felt the way he did there is still up in the air. But yes, I do believe that Armand was sincere and does think that, out of everyone, Daniel is the one he wronged the most.
It is why Armand just quietly left after Daniel yelled at him and didn't try to interact with him again or anything until Daniel approached him on the street after Lestat's diss track. With Daniel, Armand actually, more or less, followed what you are supposed to do when it comes to that part of the 12 steps.
The apology he gave to Lestat is still very much from Armand's own POV about what went on between them, some of which Lestat contradicts (such as what happened in Paris not being a "play" but a real, actual trial). And Armand's actions with Alex and Larry show that Armand very much appears to still carry some hate and resentment toward Lestat, even before he gave that apology. As well as after he did.
And the letter Armand wrote to Louis was very real, direct, and raw. But at its heart, it wasn't about giving an apology at all, so much as it was about confessing to his side of the mutual deception of their relationship together, and then wanting Louis to do the same. That was the motivation behind all of that when it came to Louis, and nothing else.
As to their dynamics after all of this, going into Season 4. Well, I think Louis and Lestat are, rightly, not going to want to have shit to do with Armand for obvious reasons. It will only be the Akashalyps that will likely force them all to interact with each other again.
Though the rift between them won't be healed by that, if Louis' annoyed look at Armand during the opening auction scene from EP301 is any indication.
As for Armand and Daniel, well, I just spoke about what I think the immediate future for them will be in this post here:
💬 0 🔁 2 ❤️ 35 · Reblog by @cbrownjc · 1 link · Yes, it is. Look, I have been trying and trying to warn everyone that Armand and Daniel sp
I don't see Season 4 going well for them -- individually or together -- given all the clues and foreshadowing we got all season, particually wrt Daniel.
Now, long-term, I think everything will work out fine for them both in the end, and they will be together. Endgame. But short-term, wrt Season 4? 😬 I think it will be and go quite badly.
Their romantic horror is just about to start
Though the reason why won't really have anything to do with the apology Armand gave him, so much as what the apology apparently led to this season wrt them both.
