I’m addicted to book accurate turning happening in the show. like yes the reason daniel is pining so pathetically in tvl is because he had a beautiful romantic transformation where armand gave him visions of glorious things. and then abandoned him. no wonder he’s devastated by vampire loneliness.

“…the heavy gold locket he always wore—the amulet, as Armand called it with his unacknowledged yet irrepressible flair for the dramatic…”
past dm this, past dm that. what about present dm? what about future dm? what about armand being in a relationship where someone can finally be completely devoted to him? what about daniel finally being embraced by his partner without having to fear rejection and abandonment? what about armand having to build a more trusting and vulnerable relationship than ever because he cannot read his companion's mind or erase his memories anymore? what about daniel being an old queer man who is still shown as hot and desirable and capable of entering a new(ish) relationship in which he is wanted and loved? what about every rapture moment slowly turning from scary to romantic, as they embrace the feeling of no one else existing in the world but them? what about them facing the great conversion and every other fucked up thing that happens in their now shared vampric world hand in hand? what about them hunting side by side? what about all the beautiful possibilities of the vampire armand and the vampire daniel molloy coming together? both meanings, actually.
I am a Present DM girlie!! Past for taste and current angst :3
Interview With The Vampire 2.05, 2.08 // The Vampire Lestat ep. 4 || "Armand could not read your mind because he was sitting two feet from Louis."
Pretty wild the reasoning was love 😂
I’m obsessed that Armand was like, I have observed that the fog of vampire love is real and effective on the case study of myself... How can I use it against my foes
I love you means… [devil’s minion animatic]

I love how all the fanfics for DM sunwalking lessons are "oh daniel let me feed you some blood and then we'll baby-steps the whole sun exposure thing, wouldn't want you getting too burnt" and then Assad's comments are yeah Armand just throws him outside, locks the door, and waits to smell burning.
Well, I think affectionately 😂
it was love.
Finally read this article by the wonderful Rotem Rusak. This part stuck out to me.

“Daniel stared hard at the creature before him, this thing that looked human and sounded human but was not. There was a horrid shift in his consciousness; he saw this being like a great insect, a monstrous evil predator who had devoured a million human lives. And yet he loved this thing. He loved its smooth white skin, its great dark brown eyes. He loved it not because it looked like a gentle, thoughtful young man, but because it was ghastly and awful and loathsome, and beautiful all at the same time. He loved it the way people love evil, because it thrills them to the core of their souls.”

Daniel about Armand. The Queen of the Damned, Anne Rice (via perladivenezia)
//I love this paragraph so much because it shows how Daniel is a weird, morbid, twisted guy and he loves Armand for exactly the monster he is, rather than being blinded to his nature by his beauty or something. Which is why I think Armand and Daniel, for all of their problems, have something real: Daniel has always seen through his masks and his appearance and still been fascinated by the creature beneath the shiny veneer.

devil's minion: what were the first words of the ancient vampire to the future love of his life?
In light of this interview with Assad Zaman about the vampire Armand
In this Nerdist Character Profile, The Vampire Lestat's Assad Zaman dove deep into the complex character of Armand.
and this one where he shared 2 songs from his Armand playlist (thank you Assad)
In an interview with Nerdist, Assad Zaman shared two songs from his incredible secretive Armand playlists. His selections are incredible.
Allow me to share the first 2 songs from MY Armand playlist that came to mind when I read Assad’s comments about Armand’s relationships to survival and power
Muse - Survival (from The 2nd Law album)
and Staying Power by Allie x
Don’t forget to click and share the article links if you want to see more of that in the future!
Better yet, in honor of Assad sharing with us, I challenge you to post the article links and 2 songs from your own Armand playlists, or 2 songs that you associate with Armand.
READY SET GO!
This is an amazing deep dive into Armand’s mindset and why he’s in a 12 Step Group of all places.
First and foremost, yes he is genuinely trying to engage with the program without any trickeries or underlying motives. According to Assad, he’s on Step 5. And his addiction is lying and living in survival mode.
The problem with Armand is he’s been alive for 500+ years, but he’s spent a lot of them experiencing “collapses” and each time he’s had to rebuild himself to the best of his ability. No one including himself has given him the time of day to evaluate these collapses and address the core issues of why his life keeps shattering. No one has offered him any help to do so because he’s a manipulative asshole who can’t do anything but lie. Fair enough. But it means he’ll only keep spiraling.
Nevertheless, here he is facing another collapse and trying to find himself in it honestly. Not as Amadeo or Armand, but Arun. The little boy inside the layers and layers of lies before he became the rag doll. He knows that people won’t forgive him, but he’s trying to apologize in earnest. And I do mean trying, because even Assad doesn’t know if he’s capable of doing this.
But his conversation with Daniel with Dubai is a start. He could lie and manipulate about a million things, but he won’t lie about Daniel being able to crack him. It’s the entire reason everyone was freed from that cursed lifestyle they built for themselves.
Assad Zaman sat down with Nerdist to discuss Armand's motivations, addictions, and love confessions in The Vampire Lestat.

This is who they’re being mean to in e4, a baby
Assad Zaman spoke to us about why Armand called himself Arun in episode three of The Vampire Lestat and what it reveals about the character.
Thank you for making me cry, Assad 😭
