OMG - FROM THE WIDER SCREEN YOUTUBE VIDEO
also the clip is called RELATIONSHIP: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNmXHdxERt0
I really hope that S3 contains some of the “Everyone hates her” energy Armand brings to his relationship with Gabrielle. He states it in TVA like it’s a factual statement and not his own personal opinion. I want to see them be catty and snipe at each other if not in the past at least in the present (if they do interact in the present). It’s so funny how out of all the people who have wronged him in some truly awful ways, Gabrielle seems to be one of the few people who he holds a grudge against and who he“hates”. And how he purposely left her out of his retelling of meeting Lestat and Gabrielle in Paris.
AAAAA got home from work and watched the new teaser trailer!!!
(sorry the quality is so bad lol)
I HAVE SOME THOUGHTS
1) I'm 99.9% sure they spliced together the "I love you, Lestat" and the "Christ..." scenes to make it seem like Lestat was rejecting Armand. But I think the "Christ..." scene came first, probably Lestat's reaction to Nicki. Armand looks way too happy to have just been rejected lol
2) omg Armand FULLY EDITED OUT Gabriella in his flashback! That's so fucking funny! He also changed their clothes to make his fanfic feel more like a gothic romance lmaooo. The fact that Gabriella is there also makes me think that Armand and Lestat never fucked on the balcony. I have NO DOUBT they fucked other times, but probably not here (unless they wanna imply a super hot threesome, which I would be down for).
If Armand embellished their balcony sex to both Louis and Daniel, it makes me think a few different things. 1) Armand really wanted to make it seem like HE was the hapless victim of Lestat's advances, when in reality, Armand was the pursuant. It makes Armand seem more inherently desirable, to the point that Lestat couldn't keep his hands to himself. 2) The addition of the balcony sex is almost Armand's way of signaling his willing submission and that he's down to get freaky lol. In Armand's fanfiction, he protests a bit, but ultimately gives in to Lestat's advances. It's almost like he's saying "imagine if you were Lestat. i could give you whatever you wanted. all you have to do is ask." 3) It's possible that Armand told Daniel the TRUE Lesmand story a long time ago. He told the lie in Dubai to gauge the extent of Daniel's recovered memories.
3) Gabriella is definitely waking up every morning and cutting her hair in that fuckass bob..... And she appears to be dressing femme even in the flashback? Hmmm..... AMC please make the right choice. Please give Gabriella that nonbinary masc swag.
4) Will we get more Lesmand scenes from Lestat's perspective? I LOVE the 1:1 parallels! I'm imagining every single scene that Armand described with Lestat, but Gabriella is just there lurking in the background lol. Also A LOT more of Lestat crying!
Ahhhhh I'm so excited!!!! This is gonna be so fun!!!
iwtv s3 plot
Armand pulling out the kicked-puppy face to make Gabriella feel bad for him JUST to make Lestat jealous
And in case my last handful of posts haven’t lowered the rent enough:
Gabrielle never groomed or sexually abused Lestat.
Gabistat is peak Gothic romance.
Gabistat is hot.
The only way to make Gabistat even hotter is to squish Armand right into the middle of that mess, and Lestat canonically agrees with me.

really really hope the reason armand and gabriella have matching striped outfits is because gabriella (or gabistat together) dressed him up with clothes she already had
