My friend wanted to watch the show so I decided to rewatch it with her. Shit so good we binged Season 1 in 1 day. We talked about how amazing some of these visuals are! Especially these two scenes!
We're not yet finished with Season 2 though😂! Things are just about to get crazy for my friend.
Did Lestat end up performing on stage? When he and Louis reunited after the.. ehem, Armends... he said this:
"He didn't go into the details of his day. I would only here of them later... after the concert... after the mayhem... Should have quit right then and there."
And then, he had this whole fight with Gabi, but I kept coming back with what he said here. So did the concert happen? Did the concert push through and then something happened?
Am I tripping? This is my second rewatch of the show. The first time I watched the finale, I was distracted by those heart eyes Loustat where giving each other. Did I miss something?
I have read the books... I'm just thinking if the concert really did happen...
"You were my Claudia."
For decades, Louis was tormented by his failure to protect Claudia. Does this line mean that Armand was plagued by the guilt of betraying Louis? Does he even feel guilt for that?
I mean, I know that he isn't just mad at Louis. He's also mad at himself for wasting 77 years in a relationship neither knew how to end.
I need someone to talk about about this exact line. Talk to me like I'm dumb. What are your thoughts for the butcher confrontation?
I've actually been waiting the whole season for Armand and Louis to meet. I knew he had a letter prepared- I was waiting for this confrontation.
For context, I'm 23 years old and I live in an Asian and Catholic household. I was planning to get a job a year ago but my dad decided to fund my med school journey so I'm now in my second year of med school. I have a partial scholarship due to my academic standing and I've been a good daughter my whole life.
Unfortunately, my parents fight a lot, especially in the last decade. They are really bad at communicating and I'm surprised they even married each other. My dad is closed off while my mom is the type to sweep arguments under the rug.
My mom is currently a stay-at-home mom. She had to quit her job 10 years ago after 2 consecutive miscarriages and other health problems which my dad was "okay" with. Recently, mom found out that my dad has been dabbling in online gambling. My mom was extremely against it but according to my dad, "it was his money so we don't get a say in it".
They had a big fight (thrown glasses and broken plates) and neither of them wants to talk to each other now. The both of them have too much pride to initiate a proper conversation and they can't stand each other. The worst part is, they don't believe in divorce so they still live in the same house.
I have an eight year old brother still living at the house and I don't want to leave him alone in case my parents' fights become too physical.
Everytime they fight I get so much anxiety. My heart starts to race and I don't know what to do. I hate feeling these emotions because it makes me feel like a child. I usually ignore the fights but this time, I think it's too much for me. My dad doesn't like talking about his problems and I'm so sick of being stuck in the middle.
I've expressed to my dad that I'm also against gambling and he's mad that I'm "taking mom's side".
He told me that if I was gonna take "mom's side" he's going to stop funding my schooling.
I don't know what to feel about that. I can't explain how heavy I felt after that conversation and witnessing another shouting match from my parents.
I don't feel comfortable talking about my anxiety to anyone I know and therapy is expensive in here. I just have weekly breakdowns to keep myself alive, lol. I can't explain why but I just had to vent about this right now.
I mean, they're not abusing me or anything. On a good day, we can look like a good family.
I just need a virtual hug at this point. I'll probably drop med school and just get a job. I hate that I now owe my dad for my education.
Armand offering the power to walk under the sun after Daniel rejected him to be his "maker"! This gremlin is twiddling his fingers guys, lol. 👉👈
I want my Devil's Minion to be a slowburn. I want yearning. I want everything to burn. I want it to shake me at the very core. I want the payoff to be good!
Too bad this season is rushed. I need like 13 episodes for TVL (they had 15 episodes for IWTV- S1 and S2 combined). We NEED to continue supporting the show though to get a S4.
I saw on the Wiki page that he wrote S3 Ep 4?! The same guy for S2 Ep 5?! Lestat, hold Armand's purse!
I just finished reading the Vampire Armand so I'm curious if we will see any reconciliation between Louis and Armand in the show (whether it be this season or, hopefully, next season).
I really enjoyed the book because seeing Armand with Sybelle and Benji allowed Louis and us to see a completely different side of Armand. Armand loves these two purely and selflessly. He provided them with safety, luxury, and protection without ever treating them like prey.
Watching Armand act as a protector rather than a manipulative vampire proved that he is capable of real, healthy love. I think this transformation made it much easier for Louis to truly forgive Armand.
I want Armand to heal 😭. What are your thoughts?
Side note: I don't ship Louis with Armand but I really enjoy their dynamics. TVA would be a great spinoff idea if we ever do finish QotD (probably a long, long time from now though).
I've been rereading the book and as a kid, I didn't really know what to think about Calypso.
​
Her appearance was quiet brief. We never really get another interaction between the two of them.
​
How did Percy really see Calypso? Pervy stated that she will be one of his "what if's".
​
Did Percy see her as a companion? Can we even call it a friendship? Was it just genuine pity from Percy? Ome-sided romantic tension? Do we even consider it a romance or simply longingness because Percy is another reminder of the world outside and how she will never escape her island.
​
Anyways, what are your thoughts about Calypso?
Unlike Lestat, who loves colorful, vibrant, and extravagant outfits, Armand almost always wear black. I wonder if there's some symbolism behind this or am I overthinking it lol.
I wonder if the color black symbolizes his internal emotional vacuum, or his desperate need for strict structure and control.
What's up with the black turtlenecks Armand? Lol! I also love the fact that Louis wore black when he was with Armand.
P.S. I don't really know what to tag this with.
Adding the spoiler tag for the >!Pirate!Armand picture!<
Drawing during company time . Had to finish without getting caught.
I finished rereading TVL last week and the last few chapters (from the Epilogue until the Dionysus in San Francisco) had me in tears of sadness, thrill, and excitement! Louis will forever be his greatest love.
I read a certain paragraph from the epilogue as well and it reminded me of Sam's interview as he talked about Lestat's toxic relationship with Louis.
Also, Lestat talking about Claudia had me crying as well! *flips table*
I'm going to start watching S3 now!
Qifrrey carrying the girls makes him look hot! HAHAHA I guess dads being good dads will forever look hot for me lol! Deceptive as he may be, he does care about the girls and their safety.
