Made Another One With Dutch

I feel like I get to pick one thing for myself, and it's her. A weird white lady I met by happenstance.

the potentially lethal levels of emotional damage that could be inflicted upon a person if daniel and louis decided to team up and verbally tear into them together. daniel just loves feeling superior and kicking someone while they're already down and louis always figures out exactly where to dig in when he wants to make someone feel like shit

If you dont love kim as a failed revolutionary, as a self tokenizing cop, as an enabler, as a victim of the system who decided being the boot was his only option for survival, as a man who never experiences respect let alone love from the country he calls home, as a man who uses his status of cop to exercise power, as a man who has lost his dreams of a decent life....... then do you even love him

its not hatesex its fundamentally worse. they’re in real true love.

kimharrys everywhere for those with the eyes to see them (original)

Amadeo's sketch

the VA for dutch, benjamin byron davis, said something really interesting in that old AMA reddit thread - someone asked if dutch would have visited any of the graves of his dead gang members and he basically said “no, because it would just remind him of his mistakes” and i think that is essential to understanding why he ultimately left arthur on that cliff. i don’t think it was apathy and by that point, i don’t believe that dutch still thought arthur was the rat. even if only subconsciously, seeing arthur broken and near death was proof that he failed. at the end of the day, arthur was his boy, in a way that only applied to arthur and john. he raised them and i think he felt at least somewhat responsible for them. seeing arthur sick, dying, and brutalized by someone that dutch had let influence him to a great degree broke him. he is so ashamed he cannot bear to see his boy - his first boy - die because of him. being there for arthur in his last moments means apologizing and apologizing means admitting fault in some way.

it’s this meme but instead of running to arthur’s side he’s running away from him

list of possible good reasons armand isn't in the s3 promo:

they're committing really hard to his vanishing act

under-qualified intern doing the promo posters asked chat gpt to summarize the show instead of watching it and chat gpt didn't bring him up

armand is a fiction we have all collectively dreamed up on tumblr dot com, unrelated to any real world character or concept

armand is a real person who sued amc and now they're having to respect his privacy

they're replacing him with a different, more evil vampire that has bigger bug eyes and a sadder backstory

lestat would be jealous

they've realized that armand's character arc has reached a perfect conclusion when he got dumped and thrown through that wall, so there's really nowhere else to go with the character

the ghost of anne rice bought his copyright back

they wrote a whole storyline in which armand becomes a pop diva and then belatedly realized they're doing the exact same thing with lestat. after this they wrote a second storyline for armand in which his memoir getting published led all the vampires in the world to try to fight him, but that was kinda redundant because louis was already doing that. they're hurriedly trying to come up with a new storyline for armand and i'm hearing it's going to involve him interviewing vampires

this is all a clever misdirection. armand is actually the only character in season 3
