There is no myth without an architect

*looks at polyamorous triad* so which of you is the soldier and which is the poet and which is the king

AND ANOTHER THING 😭 why couldn't lestat be getting the head torture at the same time too? They could have made him go in and out of consciousness to show the exact same scenes if they wanted to and have it be like "he's out of it for 5 seconds but it feels like 10 mins in his head" and "every time he goes under he forgets what is happening to him and louis irl", louis and armand's voices could have echoed during the long table scenes, even having "marius" recognize that was armand. at one point you could have had armand send lestat away in the bowling bag which would have made louis more distressed and given daniel the chance of have his scenes with lestat anyway. could have given us the chance to get lesmand's quotes such as "does anyone else knows the size of your soul?" (which would TRACK considering armand eavesdropped on the séance and with what raglan tells daniel later too) and also "a century i had waited, and you did not want me!" and show armand's actions as more desperate for recognition of what he has been through, that he often feels like he is used and then abandoned by those he loves, to the point he self sabotages in his desperation to maintain something, someone, by his side, feeling like deep down he wants an apology for all he has suffered but not knowing from whom exactly or how to get it, so he is just lashing out and trying anything he can to soothe that painful feeling in his soul. Louis seeing a side of lesmand's dynamic he didn't know and affected his own relationship with both armand and lestat for almost a century without realizing, prompting him to tell armand what he did at the end. Man, come on.
