iwtv season 2 is full of the constant presence of lestat in louis and armand’s relationship. we have dreamstat in louis’s thoughts and armand who can sense his presence even before louis has confirmed it. in san francisco we’ve got “lestat, lestat, lestat,” and in dubai armand saying he was unaware of how present lestat was in their relationship but NOW with this admission that louis knew what armand was doing with daniel, it really adds a fantastic layer.
louis’s mind was with lestat and his body was with the countless men he fucked but armand was actively chasing a boy, this unremarkable human boy he had tortured, that louis asked armand to spare, that he should hate. and in all those years between san francisco and dubai can you even imagine what the presence of DANIEL was like in their relationship? daniel was there in the room for armand just like lestat was for louis. daniel was the unspoken thing, the other secret.
yes loumand were in love and there was a deep and entrenched longing that ate at the both of them, their relationship, any chance of lasting happiness and that longing was named lestat. that longing was named daniel. and they clung to each other like a life raft in that sea of what might have been, what still could be, what they truly desired.
and then daniel breaks up their marriage. he opens the floodgates. he thinks it was just about louis, armand, and lestat because he’s just the journalist, he’s still just the shitty little kid who asked the questions but the truth of it is so much more delicious. he unknowingly opened a hidden door. he opened the door for armand. for the both of them. and what we’ve seen in season 3 is just the beginning.
