Interview with the vampire sketches 🍷
I'LL BE WITH YOU
the real reason book!armand didn't take daniel with him when he was feeding is that daniel would've become soo jealous if he saw armand do that whole easeful death thing with some other guy
"it's all in your head" correct! unfortunately I am also in there
the revelation that claudia’s rebirth was such a twisted and horrible moment, with louis dragging her like she was a thing, a stranger who neither of them knew but he kept saying over and over “our daughter, our beautiful little daughter” to lestat, really solidified the way she was never the main character of her own story. she was always an accessory to some or the other of louis’ whims: his guilt, his loneliness, his conflict of being a killer, his rocky relationship with lestat. there was love there, love from both her fathers, but it was never enough. lestat saw her too much as a wretched mirror held up to his own self, and louis was always too steeped in his own feelings to care enough about hers. claudia’s story truly was the greatest tragedy in this tale, treated horribly by every man around her, even her fathers, relentlessly exploited and brutally ignored, always second and never first. the only one who loved her the way she deserved to be loved was madeleine, and the moment she truly had her, her happiness was torn from her. and just before she died, she got to see someone actually choose her in her entirety, not for what she can be but for who she is, and it still wasn’t enough. she still burned alive in the sunlight. the love was there, but it wasn’t enough to save her.
hi..............................
why do you as a man want to know what another man tastes like 🤨
i need to think about AMC Armand for a minute. About his passivity. I find it frustrating as a viewer, but I’m also deeply compelled by it. His most infuriating trait is what makes him so interesting. When he says “I could not prevent it,” I don’t think that he sees that as a lie. It’s not the truth, but I think he believes it. He’s so powerful and could at so many points take agency in the narrative, yet he chooses inaction. He lets Lestat destroy the cult, lets the Paris coven hold the trial, lets Louis kill them after, lets Daniel uncover the truth. He accepts whatever happens to him and makes it his life regardless of whether or not it’s what he wanted.
Claudia is a foil to this nature. She’s not the most powerful, but she always takes an active role in her own story. She makes her own choices even when they put her at risk. It’s why I don’t think the two of them ever could have gotten along; their natures are inherently opposed to one another. Even their similarities drive them apart—they both hate the reflections of themselves that they see in one another because of how their mirror reacts to trauma.
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
how life feels when theres not a male rdr2 fan talking in your ear about how micah is the best character and how his arthur has lowest honor while also having the most atrocious hair/beard style for arthur and the ugliest outfit u could get (he also harasses all the female npcs & didnt help mary or sadie in their missions 😔)
You should be allowed to leave work if you need to go home and think about the character
God grant me the strength to do the things I enjoy
They really made a character like Arthur Morgan and not only gave him crippling self esteem issues, but they gave him confidence so low that he doesn't share his passions with anyone ever.
Like what do you mean Arthur loves to write but thinks he writes like a fool?
What do you mean Arthur loves to draw and is really talented but he doesn't see it that way?
What do you mean Arthur loves the smaller things in life but doesn't feel like he's deserving of good things?
What do you mean there was a whole different side to Arthur that the people he cared about rarely got to see?
What do you mean he lived and died with parts of his life tucked away tight in the pages of the journal that only one other person has ever been able to read?
What a tragedy.
no! healthy relationship will kill the character! he needs an unhealthy codependent romance with a side of power imbalance to live
I absolutely love stranger quests bc wdym the gang is on the verge of collapse, being chased by pinkertons, their found family is dying and falling apart, and then there's Arthur is on the other side of the country chasing a lion and recreating frankenstein.
thinking about Armand giving in to his weakness every few years or so and returning to Daniel for a night or two, and sometimes Daniel even remembers, and when he does, he thrashes in Armand's embrace and hurls insults at him bc clearly it's Armand's fault that he's being such a shitty husband to the wife he once claimed to love and a shitty dad to the kids he never wanted, and for a night or two he can pretend that the fault lies not in him just being a shitty person sometimes who cares more about his work than the family he created; and Armand, of course, believes his words bc clearly he poisoned Daniel from the inside so irrevocably that now he can’t form any lasting bonds with other mortals, and it doesn't even occur to him that it might just be your ex lashing out at you bc he's angry and still so very, very heartbroken at being dumped bc maybe, just maybe he still loves you and has, despite being forced to forget you ever existed, not stopped loving you even once
My ideal version of dating someone would be them threatening to murder me if I don’t run away and hide, followed by them obsessively stalking me for about four years (following me all around the world, standing over my bed while I am sleeping, appearing out of nowhere and asking me morally charged questions, etc.), while they become more and more persistent over time and force me to spend more and more time together until I eventually realize that they actually don’t want to kill me after all. And when I address this to them, they act confused and say, 'No, how could you think that? I love you,' and then they buy me an island.
they did not need to be making all those sounds in front of daniel at the dinner table
i terribly needed a distraction - and imma upload a timelapse of this in a few days once i check if i am truly content with the result
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?
Daniel Molloy is sickkkkk of these gay vampires
saw this post and immediately thought of them. sorry
