we're only blood and sugar, right?

Armand is a person who’s obsessed with Lestat in all ways possible, especially in ways that are vengeful and vindictive. When he wrongs him, he never forgets.

Regarding why Armand had killed Larry at the end of the episode, this is what Rolin had to say:

“It’s Armand. Armand is 4 or 5 levels of haunting than most of us. There is like a 7 layer burrito reason for why he thinks that will get into Lestat’s head and haunt him more than anything instead of way easier and direct hits”

And the thing is it will. Larry represents the frailty of Lestat’s being and all of his failures. His mediocre guitar playing is actually crucial to his overall music because it allows it to stay rooted in something human. It’s why Lestat actually loves Larry, but ultimately let him go when he wanted to drive his music into a more transcendental territory. You can see why his death is going to really fuck him up.

Now that being said, Larry’s murder is not only symbolic of another one of Lestat’s growing list of failures, but also destroying a pillar of what’s maintaining his fragile stability. Whether Lestat believes it or not, his mortal bandmates are what is keeping him together and losing them would only further break him. And since they all participated in his humiliation, Armand will annihilate them and leave Lestat alive to be haunted in solitude.

Now apart from this whole vengeance against Lestat, it’s also true that Armand is a maker now and he must provide for his fledgling accordingly. He does genuinely want to help Daniel and he wants to free him from Lestat’s wretched claws. And so he’ll do his part to make it happen; One, by outing Lestat’s incestuous relationship with his own mother as ammo for Daniel and two, by beginning to kill off the bandmates to isolate him.

Did he jump off the band wagon? Absofuckinglutely. He calls Louis and Lestat “methodically cruel”, but he is something so far beyond that and is willing to showcase it. He’s not following any rules or order other than to be a haunting menace. This time he intends to get his cake and eat it too. Granted, that is if Daniel sees this as amusing instead of horrific.

It just goes to show you that you should not piss off Armand and/or mess with his fledgling. Hell hath no fury like a mother gremlin who is locked in.

Then in this episode, he's letting Daniel push him around and actually arguing back. His mannerisms, the way he flails his arms, the way he turns around, even the way he jumps from being bitchy and pissy to being worried then desperate for Daniel to understand he was in love with him... It's the most human (and the loosest) we've ever seen Armand. He's not like that in the scene with Lestat. He's not like that in the concert (which Lestat made specifically so he could corner Armand and make him feel watched and ogled again by highlighting his desirability in his speech, which obviously pissed him off.)

Daniel already knows him, so why hide? In fact, he made his own little speech about how much he knows him, there's no reason to try to make a perfect painting of their lives, there's just... Comfort, in a way. Daniel is comfortable to tell Armand (a 500 year old vampire) that he is a bottom twink sociopath and Armand is comfortable to be pissed at Daniel for still thinking it's him doing the bond thing, because he is his maker, obviously he can't be in his head. Then Daniel feels comfortable enough to bypass all Armand's worries and ask him, with tears in his eyes, if he was just bullshitting him. Then Armand feels comfortable enough to tell him that no, of course not. I love you to the point of distraction. I love you. Believe me. Please.

Everyone gone. You hear them, but you can't see them. Yes. Stop it! I cannot. It happens to me, too. It's happening right now.

You called us 'Murder Husbands'. You did run off to Europe together.

like the series spends a lot of time saying cas is NOT the way he’s supposed to be. he rebelled the moment he saved dean from hell. he turns the narrative on its head by developing free will and making his own decisions. chuck even tells him that this is the only universe in which cas “didn’t do as he was told”. he ruins chucks plan for the brothers at every turn by caring about them.

Your cell phones make you slaves to your fetishes and data retrieval is primarily about profits, so I suspect no one at Amazon is trying to sell us blenders.

There are so many firsts for them:

First time alone as Daniel and Armand, not fake Rashid

First time Armand wears anything other than white, grey and black, after hearing that Daniel liked Alice's purple dress

First time that Daniel in Dubai wears something without collar, and even his scar is showing

And then there is the silence, the pull towards one another without being able to compromise
