The Freaky Trinity (and Fareed)
it’s still an unpolished analysis, I’m working on the Fareed & Armand interactions in 3/07, snippet I’m done with and most sure about is how Armand was trying to threaten Louis if he doesn’t comply he’d fuck Lestat’s body, hear me out, Armand does the evil sexy boss shoulder massage on Fareed, playing the limp wrist bit, he makes sure Louis sees that, the image of a “gay” man that Louis’s internalised homophobe would associate with bottoming, Armand then goes to Lestat’s body and strokes his clothed chest with a limp wrist, that’s basically Armand going ‘I’ll ride his cock if you don’t start talking rn’, Armand probably thinks Louis bottoms in Loustat, so he’s singling that he’d take Louis’ role with Lestat’s body, decent jealousy/ragebait threat, no? No, because Louis doesn’t react at all, (he’d probably enjoy seeing such a freak show, Louis be into jealousy/ragebait shows with Lestat since S1), Armand sees that Louis doesn’t react, he doesn’t press the threat again, not because pressing it again wouldn’t work, it won’t work because Louis would be into it high-low-key, so he drops the threat altogether.
