“I couldn’t help but smile. Kill them, I thought, slaughter them. I felt fetching and even beautiful. Come on, somebody, tell me I make you think of Mercury chasing away the clouds in Botticelli’s Primavera, but the red-haired man, fixing me with an impish playful glance, said:

‘Ah, he is Verrocchio’s David, the very model for the bronze statue. Don’t try to tell me he is not. And immortal, ah, yes, I can see it, immortal. He shall never die.’”

Guanyin temple as the worst Thanksgiving dinner in history, only saving grace is lqr didn't arrive until dessert.

Marius also hates to feel things. That's his stoic Roman thing going on, where he fears that by feeling things he will lose control of himself.

So instead he makes Amadeo feel everything.

And then nothing is felt, really for the next 240 years until Lestat swings in and makes him think "yes I can be desirable please desire me," but that secret disgust he's never been able to name is its own obstacle in begging Lestat to desire him back. And Lestat is also struggling with his own feelings about being desired and claimed at the time, so they're just two planets in orbit begging to be loved but not knowing how to do it.

Then we come to Loumand, and the desire there is very real and intimate, but once again Armand only knows how to present himself as desirable and that hurts just as much when Louis struggles to dedicate himself to that companionship.

With Louis withholding his feelings and making Armand feel used, and then with Armand betraying all of the trust Louis tenderly gave him, they both just ended up in a cycle of self-harm and love. It hurts Louis to desire him, and it hurts Armand to be kept solely for desire.

these scenes look cut together to imply lestat is rejecting armand. armand isn't facing lestat anymore in the second frame, and he doesn't look like he just spoke

as everyone's been pointing out, the armand of lestat's memory is captivatingly pretty. this does not seem congruous with the idea that lestat never desired him

even if this is a cut and dry rejection, we know from the books their relationship is more complicated than that, but how lestat portrays it may not line up for a variety of reasons. i really don't understand why people expect lestat to be a more reliable narrator than anyone but maybe armand (i do, actually, its racism), and even then the idea that armand exclusively intentionally lies is extremely disingenuous and the way he presents the past is still a valuable source of information that should never be disregarded

armand is at times a pathetic loser. we know and love this about him. someone give that man a hug i'm begging

Them (tootles and bitchface) or…………………………….him
