GREGG RULZ OK

Because the Failures and Daniel's documentary are two different things.

Because maybe Lestat didn't feel like being particularly vulnerable, as is demonstrated by the fact that he absolutely refuses to BE vulnerable in that interview and he's being tangibly cagey about their whole relationship.

Because maybe it would have been a bit tasteless for Lestat to sit in front of a camera and a bunch of people and say "Yeah and then I licked his asshole for 45 minutes and then we fucked crazy monkey style in every position you could think of and I dumped my cum in him over and over and he moaned so much and I'm so hot and sexy and I jerked his peenar. Anyway later his undiagnosed, unchecked mental illness led him to have a massive mental breakdown, horribly mutilate himself and he had to be put down via pitchfork to the chest and a fire while I watched. I'm pretty sure it's my fault because I wasn't there to support him enough, lol. A-ny-way"

Louis swept into his home city, demanded special treatment and to be exempt from coven rules even though Armand already knew he was a vampire killer and was cutting him slack, then put the coven in direct danger of exposure while absolutely refusing any chance to get the fuck out or join the coven that Armand was offering him, while offering him literally 0 verbal affection, very little physical affection, and not even CONFIRMING that they were in a relationship, WHILE evoking his half-remembered real name that he associates with his years as a child slave in a brothel INTO A BDSM DYNAMIC, THEN when Armand was like "Ok, my coven is gonna mutiny if I don't kill you so I'll have to kill you" he proceeded to burn his life's work down and kill 12/13 people Armand had spend the past 200 years with, THEN he explicitly dragged Armand along in a loveless relationship for 77 years JUST TO SPITE LESTAT, WHILE cheating on him more than 200+ times over and over and over

Armand killed Nicki - who was unstable, turned with an illness which is against the rules (why would a mental illness NOT count towards this?), and was this close to self destructing anyway. Not to mention Lestat actively stringing Armand along while still dating Nicki - yeah, he had no reason to be fond of him.

Armand sold Louis and Claudia out to the coven - and why not? Louis was fucking AWFUL to Armand. Louis essentially waltzed in, demanded to be forgiven for breaking coven rules, put the coven in danger and still expected to be protected by Armand, refused to join OR to leave when Armand gave him chance after chance, all the while stringing Armand along and refusing to give him any affection. For all we know, Madeleine telling Armand that Louis loved him might've been the first time he heard that. Why the fuck would he choose his shitty noncommittal boyfriend of a couple years over his entire life's work and 13 people he's known for roundabout 2 centuries? For all he knew if he left with Louis, Louis would just end up cheating on him and trapping him in a loveless marriage - WHICH HE DID!!!

And the decapitation thing? Armand was raised by Marius. He knows EXACTLY who Akasha is, and it's more than reasonable to assume that he either knows or senses that Lestat's music is waking her up, and he knows that it's a BAD IDEA because Marius would've 100% drilled that into his head. Of course he wants to stop the concert at all costs when Akasha can (and DOES, evidently) cause a goddamn cataclysm. I don't even think he thinks he's killing them for good! He probably knows Lestat, if not Louis, will survive that.

The only two things which are genuinely insane are taking credit for saving Louis and the 52 year long stalking campaign.

To the former I say if he didn't do that he'd be totally alone as soon as Louis executed his revenge plot. It's opportunistic and manipulative and toxic but he's no Magnus for it.

To the latter... Boohoo, whatever, it's hot. Daniel finds it hot. DM are the biggest case of freak 4 freak ever and whatever they do to each-other is just an elaborate foreplay that frankly isn't any of my business.

1. Devils Minion Sex Scene Next Episode (Make Out at LEAST)

2. Season 6 Diabolicule Foursome on Screen

Let alone drag said human all across the world based on every tiny impulse that ever crosses his mind

I mean sure, Daniel is snarky and crotchety and loves an argument but he never had any presumptions of trying to force Armand to do anything...

Ah. Except, of course, the only thing they consistently viciously fought about

If we WEREN'T getting 70's Devil's Minion/chase years/Armand-as-Alice, then why would we go out of our way to establish (in the episode with young Daniel, no less) that Armand's preferred hunting method is to chase his prey?

But oh Boy, do I have some opinions about the fact that the show that's sUpPoSeDlY about finding communal care and support in the face of a meaningless existence unceremoniously sidelined every single ensemble character in favor of the writer's asshole of a self-insert.

Only to then expect me to sympathize with said asshole self-insert because he Had A Sad Life and also Is Possibly Transfem BUT HOLD ON!!! Be sure to put a BIIIIIG caveat on that because the show didn't have the balls to actually confirm that last bit. No, instead we get vague hand waving in the form of a different character somehow apparently guessing out of thin air that that's what his "something personal" was (seriously, how did Ribbit know that's what he was talking about? It could've been about him being gay as easily as it could've been about him being a furry, for all she knew), and also a song written by a black artist about his daughter now performed by a white dude and applied to a character that has been shitty and abusive towards every woman (and NB person) in his vicinity. Class.

I'm sorry but it's 2026 and you're an indie studio. I'm really not interested in your vague allusions to queer characters - shit or get off the pot, you have plenty of authority to actually confirm this shit.

HELL YOU ENDED THE EPISODE TALKING ABOUT WHAT THE REAL-LIFE JAX WAS UP TO. How difficult would it have been to throw in a like about him using different pronouns or going by a different name?! You could've kept the aspect that Jax hadn't understood his identity AND canonized Leeroy as a trans woman without having to fucking confirm it on Twitter like this is goddamn Voltron.

(and even if they had confirmed this explicitly in the show I still wouldn't sympathize with that asshole because, again! He's an asshole!)

And then the rest of the plot is just kinda... Wrapped up. It was literally 24 minutes of sitting around talking about Jax followed by vague shit happening that may or may not have said something about C&A, and then wham bam thank you ma'am, the psychotic AI is our friend now.

Imagine being that jobless and joyless that your main passtime is spreading hate speech over a fucking JJK ship

Just a friendly reminder that the GojoHimeFiveSongs subreddit is a disgusting homophobic cesspool lmfaooo
