Currently obsessed with good omens and iwtv

SAM: It's really crazy. It's really wild.

AUTUMN: I can't wait to watch it cause I've got to say six really broke me. It really broke me down. So, I'm ready to see it.

SAM: I mean, I think seven is like... I can't tell you. I can't speak.

AUTUMN: Don't! I don't want any spoilers, but do you have any words of warning?

SAM: I'd say it is a combination of the most horror we've ever done and the most... otherworldly. Yeah, I mean I think it would kind of hopefully give context to why the season is the way it is. Um and it will give some sort of structure into why– It gives some kind of– The season has always been building to this one specific episode. This was Rolin's initial idea of how to convey this impossible-to-adapt book and the core theme that he wanted to pull out of it and how he wanted to convey it... at least in terms with Lestat. And then– and outside of that, it's just pure horror. And I'd say, yeah, Assad is doing like some of the best work I've ever seen. He's just amazing. He's incredible in that episode. He's absolutely incredible.

AUTUMN: I can't wait.

SAM: That's all I can say.

Those comments Rolin made about understanding the frustration and impatience of people who like Armand

The fact that he also said Armand gets a big chunk of episode 7

The praise for Assad as an actor — the insinuation that there are scenes where he gets to express a wider range of emotions.

The fact that we were told they are drawing from TVA, which we haven’t seen yet.

Armand playing the role of the presence Lestat and Gabrielle sense in Paris in this season . We were told certain things from the 18th century were being moved to present day and that definitely describes Armand’s role so far. This culminates in the book with us learning Armand’s backstory after he and Lestat meet. It’s brief in TVL, but again, we are drawing from TVA.

The very intentional choice by Rolin to point out that the screeners have an incomplete arc. They do not know what he’s up to. He’s said it multiple times.

IWTV finales are known for their big twists that recontextualise the entire preceding season.

Armand is going to be seen. Maybe by Daniel, maybe by Lestat, maybe by Daniel and Lestat, but if he is seen by a character, he will be seen by the audience too.

"Daniel is trapped in a time loop. Armand seems irrelevant to it, until he isn't."

The spiral is unspooling by reedroad

From 1974 to 1978, Daniel Molloy filmed his day to day life in an attempt to document the horror story he lived with. In 2022, Armand gives him a chance to revisit a documentary unfinished.

Daniel Molloy, Time Bandit by mothmage

They'd had a horrible fight. Daniel, dejected and angry that Armand refused to give him the Dark Gift, stormed out, intending to blow off some steam until he was desperate enough to ask Armand to come get him. Instead, he found himself in the weirdest place, with a bunch of French vampires and an Armand that didn't know him.

Or: a study in loneliness.

Master, martyr by finalizer

He is easy to want, but difficult to love, and impossible to like, but Daniel does, his Daniel, he likes him, all the way down to the rot in his marrow; it is the rot he likes most of all, more than anything.

Armand and sex and the past that clings.

Honey on Your Tongue by itsgoons

It was a strange thing, forgetting that you love someone, in the same way you might forget your watch, or a doctor's appointment. His head hadn’t quite caught up, but his body remembered for him, aching like it had known for all forty-something years since. He swallowed, but his mouth was dry.

He looked at Armand, his shameful wide eyes staring at Daniel, waiting for him to speak.

“You let me get old,” he finally said, voice scratchy as it left his throat. “You let me get sick.”

The miserable unlovables by hvnnigrvhm

“D—don’t ask me to hurt you ever again,” Daniel continues weakly, barely above a whisper, pressing a shaky kiss against his temple as he sobs. “Don’t ask me to violate your limits just because I can. Just because I can doesn’t mean I should.”

“Daniel—”

“Never. Do you hear me?”

And paint the ages a hundred shades of gold by williamshooketh

He wishes so badly he could be a virgin for Louis. That Louis could crack him like an egg and peel back his shell for wet, tremulous yolk. But he’s had the same thought about so many people.

Armand and the first time.

[This one is more of an Armand centric fic, but there is devil's minion in it too.]

Like yeah I'm really excited to see a more immature Daniel and to see how Luke Brandon Field plays the romance.

“After we met in 1973, I kept an eye on you... In 1990...”
