Is Daniel better equipped to give "a love that'll cradle you"?

"You need a love that'll cradle you. You shoul have that. And I was never that for you." This words that Louis said Armand are very important: Armand listening to someone, to Louis, telling him that he should be loved. If Louis didn't give him that love, it was because Louis wasn't his love—he didn't have that kind of love to give him—and not because Armand shouldn't be loved.

It was heartbreaking for someone with Armand's past to hear that. And I love Louis for being able to say those words to someone who hurted him as we know.

Lestat and Louis both deemed Armand good enough to be fucked but not good enough to state "we are companion", and this is not their fault, it's not even wrong. But it is definitely something that Armamd didn't have the psychological state to accept without being hurt or without bringing up never healed wounds. Louis then tried but we know his heart was not in it.

Truth is, both Lestat and Louis were not equipped nor inclined to handle Armand as he needed. It's absolutely not their fault, but true all the same!

But is Daniel better equipped and inclined???? I haven't read the books but my take is that show Daniel doesn't seems better equipped for now.

His angelic face and crazed eyes have bewitched me body and soul

anyone else up thinking about how armand thinks he’ll never be loved for what he is so he settles only for being what he thinks others want from him/what will make him useful

Spoilers are telling me that the beheading didn't have to do with stopping the great conversion of bloodsucker.

Well shit. Here it goes my only logical explanation. Now I suppose I'll be surprised by some other kind of logic, or surprised by the amount of illogic.

Does Marius tend to be overly protective in relationships because he needs to feel constantly in control, or does he have a strong "paternal instinct" and a desire to be a father?

For some reason, I think he, as a person, hasn't realized himself as a father and family man, and for him, this is an unfinished business. It's just that some people have cats and dogs, while others have relationships with a more dependent person. On the one hand, being with a partner like Marius is very comfortable and safe; it's even possible to build a healthy relationship, but it's a relationship on the edge, where a caring partner can easily cross the line. Everything seems fine, but at the same time, it seems like you can't go out alone anymore because it's dangerous.

Assad Zaman I am so sorry they wasted your skills with this. The show just dropped down in a chalk outline of itself. I CANNOT 😭😭 my expectations were in Hell and YET I’m still disappointed

Do you know the best part of loving Armand's character? That I can call him a fucking Gremlin, can go like "oh god! Did he just did that shit??" when he goes in his deranged moods, calling him "our lobotomizing sociopath", and then go "aww" when he goes in his pitiful ones. And I'm in good fucking company!

Meanwhile loving Lestat's character is difficult, because it feels like as soon as I go "oooh, what a petty vengeful thing he did!" many (not all) of his fans are at my throat. What the hell are those people seeing when they watch him?? A cute little victimized doll?? Don't you appreciate that he is nuanced?! He's a fucking unstable and melodramatic primadonna.

with all the questionable choices this show has made, at least it has spared us any Disney-esque goody-protagonist character!

I appreciate it.
