Armand + 👁️∧👁️

*guy who has run out of fictional characters to inspire me voice* cuno wouldn't even fucking care about this. cuno would do whatever the fuck he wanted

if Daniel’s eyes really change to the color of his maker's eyes whenever he thinks about him this is gonna get real embarrassing real fast i feel

Sometimes I see folks online being like "devil's minion shippers need to realize the show isn't about Armand its about Lestat" and, technically they’re right, but ALSO respectfully, I can make anything about Armand. Music, books he's not in, art at a museum, food I eat. I can certainly make a show he's a major character in all about Armand. Skill issue if you can't.

oh how the tables have turned

kid armand and his bright young reporter doll! based on this:

Devils Minion pet play where Armand starts carrying treats for Daniel and rewarding him for being a good boy when they're in public. Even better if he hand-feeds it to Daniel, no matter who is around.

Do you ever randomly remember that Daniel Molloy is the Vampire Armand's forever one and only fledgling and just go WEEEEEEEEEEEE and start kicking your feet?

posting the important part separately

every time i see this i start jumping for joy genuinely

the tragedy of armand in dubai is the fact that he genuinely likes daniel. yes, there is a threat there, and he hates how good at digging daniel is (as every liar despises the truth), but despite it all, for some unknown to us reason, he has an outstanding amount of sympathy for a boy he tried to once kill. that’s why at the end he is getting outsmarted and beaten. it’s because once his emotions stepped in, he wasn’t as guarded anymore (should i quote, unaware of the plotting around him because he was in love?).

armand tortured daniel back in sf, thinking him unimportant. it was louis who saved him. and yet in dubai there is a weird shift of the dynamics. in dubai it’s louis who messes with daniel’ parkinson’s and armand is the one to stop him. someone who likes to chase his mortal victims and gets the thrill out of them begging, suddenly decided that this mortal didn’t deserve that kind of a treatment. it’s louis raiding daniel’s memories and armand trying to clear the air, thinking it have gone too far. it’s armand apologising to daniel after louis raided his mind, explaining to him that he was invited there as a guest, trying to maintain a hospitable atmosphere in the house. it’s armand taking care of his levodopa transfusion and it’s armand getting weirdly intense about the last dinner and dropping that mysterious sentence “i do hope you’ll join us”, as if he actually cared.

what conclusions might be there apart from the obvious? in san francisco he wouldn’t have cared if daniel died, that’s how inconsequential he was to him, and for some reason fifty years later armand is weirdly protective of him. he still stays in the shadows, and only shows his concern once there is a crisis on the horizon. armand likes him, and for someone who never wanted the interview to happen he is weirdly drawn to their conversations and wants to actually tell him things about himself. something once again he would have never done in san francisco. if that’s all not a proof that the dm happened in between those decades, then i don’t know what is.
