Hi y'all!! Me and @adeliegir made a small zine about heritage and relationships in the TVC universe!!!

A bunch of talented artists participated and we'd love for you to check it out!!!

(Artists involved in the project: @fighto-art @umulata @adeliegir @kalgalen @petitemelusine @cruelnemothesis @pankadoll @niccoguedes @biffe.draws ) + the lovely @platoapproved who rephrased the quotes for us!!

You can get it here, both as a physical copy (for 12€!) or as a digital file (for 2€!!)

Don’t stop…

Aka Armand properly feeding his fledgling, based on these two crazy fellas under the cut

Assad said in an interview that the assertion "Armand turned Daniel out of spite" is simply how Louis sees it. So it's not necessarily the truth (ofc), but also that Louis doesn't know the truth.

Eric recently teased (spoiled?) past devil's minion by saying someone else had been in Daniel's life the whole time, but he didn't remember it 👀

Rolin confirmed Luke Brandon Field won't be in season 3, but he made it seem like he might be in season 4.

They're still planning a Night Island show! I think if they wait for a hot sec (like, at least after season 4), it could more heavily feature Daniel and Armand. Cuz they KNOW the fans are fucking ravenous for devil's minion.

Daniel admits in TVL episode 1 that he's overdosed in the past.

I might need to read it again, but in chapter 1 of Daniel's memoir (which describes Daniel's life shortly before and after the Divisadero Incident), Daniel makes himself out to be overly confident. That he's just having fun with drugs. That he doesn't have a problem. But he writes it like his younger self was a dumbass and foreshadows future issues.

THEREFORE! ☝️I think that Armand left Louis for a while after the Divisadero Incident. Whether they were literally broken up, on a break, or simply physically separated, I'm not sure. Armand hinted at wanting to leave Louis in s2e5, and I think he was really tired of being Louis's keeper.

In the book, Armand and Louis kinda do their own thing, even when they are companions. They were still technically together when Louis reunited with Lestat in New Orleans.

During this period of separation, I think this is when Armand stalks Daniel and eventually falls in love with him. I think they buy Night Island like in the book. I think that Daniel OD's at least once while he and Armand are still together. It could be this that makes Armand ultimately erase his memories.

I think Louis is wholly ignorant of devil's minion during this time. Which like.... whew boy! When he finds out!

like it is supposed to feel jarring and insane. it is supposed to feel like lestat has been violently submerged in modern young people trends and culture and is now repeating all the new words he learned like a beautiful fresh baby. but because the book is from 1985, all I think is oh interesting huh I didn’t know that slang term even originated in the 80s how vintage how retro how lestat wow he’s so embarrassing aw aw so cute.
