i was gonna post something like "armand gives off the same vibes as the bitchy stepmom that hates your guts and tries to ship you off to boarding school" except there's nothing vibes about it that's literally just his character

[ladypaperwriterson]

And what if you were DEPRESSED and bored out of your mind for THREE CENTURIES STRAIGHT, but then your ex's HUSBAND and DAUGHTER came to town, and his husband is HOT, and you FALL IN LOVE, but his daughter is a BURDEN, and you want her GONE, and your coven conspired to have her KILLED, and you just wanted her GONE not necessarily KILLED but you won't complain, and now there's TENSION, but you and him still get MARRIED, and he CHEATS on you with everything with two legs and a cock, so you BRAINWASH him, and flash-forward 52 years later, and after 514 years of existence you FINALLY have some stability and safety in your life, but then your husband decides to invite home THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE (whom you ALSO had to brainwash), and now you're STRESSED, and they GANG UP against you, and everything is REVEALED, and it's a huge MESS, and your husband wants a DIVORCE, and the love of your life is OLD and SICK and DYING, so you have to MAKE HIM IMMORTAL, and then you just have a BREAKDOWN and have to DISAPPEAR, and your husband runs back to your toxic common ex, and you're more ALONE than ever before, and then you and the love of your life start STALKING each other AGAIN, and he wants to interview yours and your ex husband's ex who is also now a ROCKSTAR, THEN WHAT

armand + hands

[notshrinkingviolette]

I never cease to be amazed at how much emotion Assad can convey through his hands. The movement of a finger when he's smoking a cigarette, the subtle clenching and stretching as he's using the iPad. Truly superb acting.

"Armand has always been good." (Assad Zaman, 2026)

[fluorescenc3]

Assad is the biggest Armand understander ever in history because yes!! Armand sees himself as “good” because he constantly manufactures situations where he can continue to play the role he was forced into as a child sold into slavery, because to him that role is “good” — that version of himself (Amadeo) was the “loved” version, the one Marius cherished, and so if he just keeps d playing that character, doing what he believes is “asked” of him, then he’s doing good. Except no one is asking him to do anything and everything he’s doing violates the autonomy of the people around him. And so in his efforts to be good and loving and worthy of love, Armand is literally suffocating everyone around him. Assad plays him so perfectly.

listen to me, if ilya died prematurely, shane would do the most wicked, darkest magic to bring him back and not even bat an eye about it

[bugslibraryy]

OH BUT THE THINGGG about ilya giving shane flowers is that it is SUCH a slavic boyfriend thing to do. to ilya buying flowers for his partner is the baseline. the bare minimum of good manners. (as an aside, consider how he wants to do it SO badly for SUCH a long time but does not. CANnot.) when he gifts shane flowers, shane is flustered instantly. ilya you shouldn't have. ilya these are so beautiful but its so... and ilya goes so what and shane goes i don't know.... because i think my beautiful shane also thinks that flowers are for girls. he doesn't want to but he does and he doesn't like it that he thinks it either but the thought is there it's like a reflex. and ilya says do you like them. and that stops shane's mind from racing and he thinks and says yes. of course i like them. i love them so much. because he does. and ilya can see that he does. and that is allll that matters. because from then on ilya gives shane flowers very regularly. at least once a month, more often on special occasions – birthdays, boyfriend days, start of season, end of playoffs. it's a thing now and ilya is so so stoked and elated that shane loves it too

Yes thank you this is perfect I luv ya I luv ya I luv ya. Obsessed with the idea that Ilya has wanted to get Shane flowers for a while now, had thought about it maybe before- seeing the elaborate bouquets in flower shops in passing, wondering if Shane would like them. Wondering if he likes roses- or something less classic. If Shane’s ever been given flowers before. It makes something in Ilya’s chest ache to think he never has. Shane is so, gorgeous, so beautiful, he deserved a bundle of flowers are pretty and radiant as him.

And I AGREEE I think shaney bug would have a weird reaction at first, concerned that well, guys don’t get flowers do that? But then again Shane guesses he never really thought about it. He’s only ever really known the stereotype of the man buys the girl flowers. But Shane loves, he looooves how it feels when Ilya presents him with a bundle of brightly coloured flowers, the bouquet so large it’s heavy in his hands. They smell sweet, are gorgeous and it makes Shane’s stomach swirl, it looks like Ilya’s love, how he makes him feel, wrapped up in a thick ribbon bow.

And Ilya’s simple “do you like them” and it overwhelms Shane, makes his heart flutter, butterflies his belly. “Yes, he’s very much” and Shane has to use a glass serving jug as a vase but he puts them in the kitchen, so he’ll walk in and see them every morning, first thing.

The idea of casual flowers is soooo cutie to me. Maybe when Ilya goes grocery shopping and then he’s bringing home grocery store flowers. Or they are going out to dinner and when Shane gets in the car there’s a huge bundle of flowers on the car seat, and Shane is always like Ilya when did you even get these? But god, it makes him feel so fucking special, so treasured. It makes him feel precious, loved.
