Comfortably Numb

Can't stop thinking about how the only times we've seen Armand lose control over his facial expression is when he is being rejected, and how he tries to force a smile each time 😭😭

omg yes, i mean he's a renowned warrior, saved both din's life and din's kid's life, aside from the jedi thing they'd think he's literally perfect!

it's not an obsession (yes it is)

the point of armand's little story is NOT "omg lestat was soooo in love with me teehee :3", it's literally the opposite. and i'll let the show speak for itself because louis helpfully spells it out in the episode (i guess because the writers had foreseen some of their viewers being illiterate and needing help with this, though i guess they still might have underestimated the extent of the issue):

Armand taught Lestat the Mind Gift. And a week later, Lestat was gone... He abandoned Nicki. He abandoned Armand. He abandoned the coven. Lestat is, was, and will always be, for Lestat.

so the point that armand is making to daniel here is that lestat is a selfish DICK who doesn't care about anyone and anything other than himself. "see, i loved him, and he didn't love me back, he simply took advantage of my feelings to get what he needed from me and then immediately fuck off :<".

and him being proven wrong here would mean that lestat DID actually care about both armand and nicki and didn't just abandon them because he got bored.
