Bounce, bounce, bounce, twirl, twirl

P.s: i literally cant wait to see your adaptation of Carrie, super excited!

...but ummm Armand in the books cut off Claudia's head and tried to sew it onto Madeleine's body. Claudia wanted to be an adult, but not like that. The heavy damage literally left Claudia confused and mentally deranged. Armand panics and to hide what he did, he pushed Claudia and Madeleine out into the deadly morning sun, leading to her final end and turning her to dust.

So yes he has cut off and reattached heads before, yes he cut off Nickis hands and left the poor boy to go crazy because playing the violin is all that Nicki had, throwing himself into the fire

Armand played a central, mastermind role in the kangaroo court trial in Paris that condemned Claudia and Madeleine to death, HE DIRECTED THE PLAY.

He manipulated Louis, lies, fawns, cowards, repeats.

hey guys? Do we maybe think that Armand's tit-for-tat mentality, and the way he's been tallying up his and everyone else's sins against each other is a problem? Is it maybe possible that Louis managing to find empathy for Armand in the face of the monstrosity being done to him, and that radical act of kindness and honesty (about the ways he unintentionally hurt Armand) moving Armand so much that it nearly breaks him, is idk a major theme of this whole season?

you know, sorta like how Lestat was holding onto his feelings of betrayal about the book, and all it did to serve him was make him absolutely miserable and lonely and push him into the arms of someone actively harming him. And how it was only after he let that go, and helped Louis even though he still thought that Louis didn't give a shit about him, that they were able to connect again and be happier than we've ever seen them.

Or like how Louis was able to look past his initial feelings of revulsion and betrayal about the Sophia lie, and offered comfort and a space to speak honestly, and how that granted him a deeper understanding of Lestat, and ultimately strengthened their bond.
