Since it looks that each character apparently has a song dedicated to them, which one do you think pertains to Daniel?

Butterscotch Bitch looks like it could fit for Daniel

These lyrics sound very similar to what he would think of Daniel:

"I've been wasting time, sitting here for hours, countin' down my fucked up crimes" ➡️(Daniel interviewing him)

"Did the flavor of my failures prove, good enough to gild your gaping wound, fill the gutter [...]" ➡️(Daniel trying to break Lestat to avoid looking into his wounds regarding Armand and his turning, + his revenge against him)

"My head is rolling 'round, will my toesies ever touch the ground, hang every rope, burn every witch" ➡️(Lestat having to deal with his own past and thus memories resurfacing + visions(?) and hallucinations caused by Daniel's questioning)

And especially "you'll never catch the Butterscotch Bitch" ➡️(AKA himself, Daniel will fail getting anything out of him and so fail to "catch" him)

Not sure about "Gimme a wrist, gimme a fist, gimme your fist Ah, Gimme a kiss, I wanna be missed I want you to hiss Ah, Give me a ship on a treacherous tide, give me your hips and I'll open you wide, a moan a groan a sigh, again and again and again" is referring to Daniel though 😅, maybe his emotions result of the questioning regarding Louis and Nicki?

The "treacherous tide" recalls to Louis for me, Lestat after all loved Louis for "being a challenge every other night" and that he'll have it no other way (S1).

Or maybe Lestat just enjoys a little challenge from Daniel and he's actually amused by him lol, after all he wrote "kisses" next to his face in the trailer so who knows 💁.

Apparently this song will be heard in the last episode, and if it's for Daniel who's supposed to be dying at the end? MHM oh dear.

I kept this back for reasons :), but yes, I do think this song is for Armand and Daniel.

Obviously the "head rolling round" is both a metaphor and very real now, but for example the "Gimme a wrist, gimme a fist, gimme your fist hah, Gimme a kiss [...]" is more aimed at Armand, who we already saw give his wrist to Lestat. The "fist" could be a reference to the book canon fight they had (the jury is still out on that one for the show), but the rest... it's either a confirmation they fucked... OR Lestat is literally telling him he can fuck him over. Probably both. IDK. Jury's still out on that one as well till we've seen the last episode :)

But yeah. I think that song is for Daniel... and Armand.

By the stills, it looks like both Armand and Larry are in the same place, which to me looks like some kind of metro station. (Could this be connected to Louis' "Mind the gap"? 👀) There's also someone else there, as we can see here.

Is Armand still doing his "therapy" sessions, like we saw him do with Alex? I'm so curious!

I've been thinking since the beginning of the season that Armand is recruiting people, or bringing them in to be turned, for the Great Conversion, rather than turning them himself. We've already seen him seemingly mind-fucking someone in that teaser with the breathing, for coincidence the breathing sounds so similar to Alex's, I wonder if it's him 🤔

And then, poof... apparently he's a vampire in that poster we got of him! Coincidence again!

I'm wondering why does he need Lestat and Daniel for his own plans (since Assad now confirmed that his conversations with Daniel were meant for another underlying objective), and machetes + big fridges? MHHHHHHHMMM

I can't wait for the next episodes to understand what the hell's Armand plotting. CAN'T WAIT

:)))

Oh yeah. It will be another ... interesting puzzle piece :)

But it's not connected to "mind the gap". :)

[nalyra-dreaming]

Maybe the reason why Lestat is very much certain that he's dead is because he killed him himself?

Like, since we know that Daniel's gonna take over some aspects of David, could it be that that final section of TOTBT with Raglan taking over David's body and asking Lestat to turn him is passed to Daniel?

Something around Daniel's body being explicitly killed by Lestat but his soul already got transported somewhere else...

It would make sense with Raglan's body thief red herring told to him in ep S2x6, Lestat's repeated "regret" about him and his telling of Daniel's "brief incidental life AS A VAMPIRE"

I mean, that is certainly a possibility, and one they could play around with, yes.

I... am leaning towards a bit of a different one still, BUT this is certainly possible.

We'll have to see. I think ep 7 will shed some more light, but the resolution of it all might only happen towards the end of s4 or even in s5.

They are playing the long game with DM after all :)

Re anon on people liking Daniel

People liking Daniel have always been inconsistent, from hating him for asking for Claudia's diaries to suddenly loving him because of Luke's version, to then hating on him again because of his "misoginy" shown in that scene in the Talamasca (🙄) to then loving him again now.

He's my favorite character since S1, I've seen people now who previously hated on him say that now he's likeable. They were the same people who did that when episode 5 of Season 2 came out though 🤥

It's all an act, social media in general has people behaving like little celebrities. They're scared to say the wrong thing and generally they want to appeal to others.

Wouldn't be surprised if the tables turn again when Daniel's shown to be more nuanced in a close future.

(Also, a LOT of people especially on Twitter like Daniel not because of his character, but because of DM. They treat him either as a self-insert or as an accessory to Armand 🤷)

There's also the aspect of him being somewhat of an "adversary" to Lestat (though that word is too strong), and people love to hate on Lestat as we know.

Re anon about Eric

Maybe they refer to Eric liking this on Instagram?

Yeah, I know, I saw. And I'm sure he did "like" it. :)

[nalyra-dreaming]

I just love how Daniel while being the visible oldest is infantilized constantly lmao (I do it as well)

Like look at this baby fledgling of two years old throwing poses while bowling, so cute 🥺.

I wonder if he'll view it as a problem, he didn't like getting called "boy" by Louis in S1 and he'll probably be recognized as "something of Armand's propriety" instead of his own self.

I think this older Daniel will try a bit harder to hold his ground, but then he hasn‘t met the real ancient vampires yet. 😅 He doesn’t fear the old ones he knows because he knows he has not much to fear, given Armand is his maker and Lestat wants something from him and Louis probably wants to forget about him. And yes I think he for sure rebels against that while at the same time… enjoys the status it gives him.

For the incoming powerhouses though that may be a bit different and I would think there‘ll be some kind of reality check, eventually 😛

What's with the ice cream scooper in the intro, does the object itself have importance or is it a symbol for something else? (I'm getting some dejavu with Michael Afton getting scooped in Five Nights at Freddie's)

I'm sorry I cannot tell you more, but it does have importance, yes. :)

[nalyra-dreaming]

I'm going on a blocking rampage on Twitter because there's always something going on to shit on. It's making my life miserable how people base everything on assumptions and call out inconveniences for something that we don't even know if it's true. Or even one person with 2 followers hate tweets and everyone's treating it as a war announcement blaming parts of the fandoms.

"Lestatcels" this, "Armandcels" that... Omg can't we all just make theories, ignoring little attention seekers and love the grey morality bastard characters in this show? Because they all are, no one excused. Yes, even the little adorable Claudia who "did no wrong".

We have 4 weeks left, can we all just enjoy what we like, block people searching for clout and go along with our lives? I swear it worsened after S2 aired, or maybe I'm now in the trenches of the fandom.

It's only on Twitter after all, I doubt that if I were to meet the same accounts posting and blaming shits would act the same in real life, they're all just lions on the keyboard.

Just ranting, plus what's wrong with theorizing "the reunion never happened" or fem!Lestat I don't get it, I'm honestly very sure the reunion happened but the way the show goes nothing is certain.

Plus it's theorizing I don't get why it's so outrageous, they've been going after my ass after season 2 when I kept telling Armand's not the cute charming little victim everyone's been perceiving him of, and many of them all are even Armand fans lol (I don't get why you're a fan of someone who is not their true self? Like even Daniel Molloy loves Armand by him being this "huge insect who ate a million lives", you're just reducing him to what Marius wanted him to be: the "beigest pillow").

Anyway just ranting, please ignore the hate comments you're getting on Twitter most of them all are teenagers of 15 years old who have nothing better to do than trying to consider themselves morally superior in situations that are not as hateful as they think 🫠

You're very appreciated anyways in here! Always love to hear your theories and cbrowns, especially on DM (my favs).

Keep the good work up 👍

*hugs* In all honesty, they can hate on Twitter as much as they like, it will not change a damn thing, and I got tinnitus through covid so my ears are always ringing anyways.

Funnily enough, I was talking with @virginiaisforvampires and @cbrownjc about it becoming worse before it would get better a few months ago, but I would have NEVER thought that it would break on me answering an ask about this show... treating rape respectfully.

Like, that is literally what kicked it all off. The whole asks, I mean.

And that user that started it on Twitter admitted that they have their stance set because I "supposedly went after flashindie" (which isn't true), and it all spiraled from there.

Truly mental.

But as said before, and I can only recommend (and you're already doing it obviously): block freely.

Because if THIS is what breaks loose on THIS kind of actually quite harmless statements?

Holy shit.
