actually the real risk with being companionless/covenless as a vampire isn't soul-crushing loneliness it's the fact that isolated vampires just start doing anything. four grown ass men got divorced last season and the second they live alone lestat starts a middling soundcloud career, louis starts stalking some poor waitress, daniel becomes a bowling fanatic, and armand is in fucking ohio

really struck by how claudia grieving madeleine seems to be the thing that gets most to lestat during the seance. he only starts to cry when claudia tells them that she can’t find her companion, that’s she’s been alone this entire time. and of course this is what would get to him. the thing he fears the most is loneliness. so knowing that his daughter found a companion only to lose her again in death. it’s devastating

lestat said kill yourself and armand made one of his bandmates jump in front of a train. lestat made fun of armand's sexual performance and past as a child sex slave and armand helped his boyfriend leak a video of lestat having sex with his own mother. you go low he goes to hell hall of fame

If he's your man then why is he MY thematic parallel

incredible that will's curse dictated that those who loved him would die, and yet those who loved him the most never did. not in his lifetime at least, and not for a long time after. jem was always meant to die, and yet still he lives a century and a half later. and tessa, while she was always going to be immortal, should never have been able to carry that life farther into a next generation, and yet she was able to spark new life with will. it's all continuity and perpetuity and new beginnings and, in everything filled with love that surrounds will, the very oppostite of death.

we as fandom do not collectively respect tessa and jem enough for living in the modern world where they inevitably have learned about polyamory and them not burning down the entire world in a fit of rage that they didn’t know about it sooner
