#no i fear these guys are like kinda lowkey .... are they...hold on...#did i find the same character twice....
I really wouldn't say so; ultimately a lot of Armand's deal comes down to needing to control other people on an ongoing basis (while feigning that they have the control) and David's is way more needing to bust people down to his exact level, which is why I'm not sure the cycle of abuse stuff holds quite as well as I think the musical's writers wanted it to. David's thing is trying to bend and break others until they become just like he is, so they can stand side by side with him and mutually protect each other and sees himself as a cool tough guy for doing so, while Armand kind of processes the world in terms of no one else protecting anyone, so he has to make sure he's the one hurting and controlling everyone around him because he views himself as a permanent victim. I could see it as a complementing sides of the same coin thing, but they're pretty opposite in a lot of ways. David tries to drag any reflection of himself into his arms; Armand basically punishes anything that reminds him of himself in others.
(Also, as a very specific aside: Assad's also said that the essential tragedy of s2 comes down to Armand not giving a fuck about Claudia [his actual phrasing]. While there's no real evidence since separate canons and all, I feel like David would adore her, and I'm genuinely not sure his uglier side would come out as much with her, if at all. So much of David's cruelty centers around trying to make other people become vampires and embrace killing, and she has no problem with that lmao.)
soooo real and also I rlly need to start tagging things as shitposts more clearly LMAO
But also I do appreciate this breakdown of them both! I agree they're not really fundamentally the same. this was more an exercise in bullshitting on my part/the fact that both these men will defend their guys always.
