What.

the tragedy of lesmand is that in another world armand would eagerly listen to lestat talking about an ice cream scoop. they could be fascinated by kitchen appliances together 🩷

If this was a normal romance Daniel saying "prove it" would prompt Armand to kiss him like he means it but because this is a weird freak4freak dynamic Armand just started listing out all the different times he stalked Daniel over 52 years. And Daniel being the freak he is actually looked moved by that confession.

only tvl could ever make me excited - relieved, even! - that there are no promo pics of My Guy for the next ep (at least not yet). he's busy. he's underground. he's in the big fridge. he's sharpening his knives and implements. no paparazzi allowed. he sent daniel into the fray to throw the cameras off his scent.

i love when armand stands there looking confused or asks for clarification or tilts his head like yesss he fundamentally doesn’t understand other people or how he fits into the world or how to exist as a person

Girl whose most frequent mistake is inaction voice: wow I keep making mistakes I better not do anything

I think my favourite small moment of this episode was Lestat going out of his way to set a place at his fake dinner party for Armand just to be like "Armand you are RUINING my party idk WHY I even invited you!!!"

I can believe that Armand honestly and genuinely thinks him and Lestat are good because 99% of their arguments have taken place entirely inside Lestat's mind

love between vampires can be one thing, or it can be countless things. however you want me, i can be that for you. you said you want me to be present as your maker? i can be a maker for you. i want to be your maker. disregard the last 500 years in which i was repulsed by the idea. i don't have any complicated feelings about that at all. you said you want cool vampire powers even though you're a three year old fledgling? i can help you become a daywalker, a skill that apparently takes centuries to develop. you're an investigative journalist, don't you want a scandal on lestat? i can give you a scandal. i want to help you finish that job. lestat fucks his mom. isn't that good? aren't i useful? aren't i worth keeping around?
