i don't think

Yes the internet very much does. I love that the hivemind has almost fully formed and this is proof. So many people independently coming to this conclusion. Assad has worked with Nerdist before and Joseph Potter follows Nerdist on Instagram so Assad will probably find out about it and I hope he’s flattered.

Because it’s not like we’re just saying it because we like him and we like Armand. I am telling you he is perfect in every possible way to play this character. Absolutely every single thing about him makes sense. This is not just biased fans trying to force their fave into everything. On every level, this fan cast works. Their faces, their builds, Assad’s stellar accent work, the deep character research he does, his personality outside of acting (which obviously doesn’t matter because he’s an actor and good at playing people nothing like him, but it’s funny how similar his temperament is to Kurt’s.)

“I got strangely sexual, but that's fine.”

it is that deep. the mischaracterisation of armand is that deep. i wish for everyone to realise what great disservice the writers have done to his character with their racist storytelling. armand has been described in the show as something repulsive, something without a presence, a fuck cloud and a rotten thing, something boring to death and insipid, something that cannot be loved and something that provokes a reaction of strong disgust in many other characters; lestat was genuinely stunned that louis deemed armand a companion-material. let that sink in.

some will try to argue that all those remarks are only targeted at his evil deeds. unfortauntely that is not true. in the books, however scared or repulsed lestat was by some of armand's actions, he still found him beautiful. he still described him with very reverent language. that was the core of it: everyone desired armand. that was why he suffered so much. everyone treated him like a pretty conquest. at the beginning of tva david talbot literally out of the blue started playing with his hair and sniffing them. it was the most dehumanising desire, that always showed the truth: he was too beautiful for this world.

this is how marius described armand in blood and gold: "And there I saw beauty, beauty which has always been my downfall, beauty in a new and celestial form. Heaven had cast down upon this stone floor an abandoned angel, of auburn curls and perfectly formed limbs, of fair and mysterious face. His soft reddish hair was loose and tangled. His flesh was pale and the bones of his face only faintly sharpened by his Slavic blood."

"This was a boy, as I had said, and he had a head of long curly hair. But his face was shining white, and perfect, the countenance of a god it seemed, a Cupid out of Caravaggio, seductive yet ethereal, with auburn hair and dark brown eyes."

Hey Molloy, quick question. What do these pictures make you feel?

Oh… completely normal. Just a guy without his shirt on.
