Interview With The Vampire - Blog Posts
I can never explain how madly in love I am with the way Armand is described in the books. His presence is so unique that even before he enters the scene you know he is going to be there, which is exactly how the characters narrating feel and Anne Rice just captures this so well. It's almost as if when you are reading you have the exact sensations as the narrator and you the reader, are just as hypnotised upon the mere sight of Armand.
catherine earnshaw & heathcliff to me btw
(there's still time to cancel the current one and recast them instead)

very obsessed with the idea of genderbent iwtv
"Well, then, in the Savage Garden," said Armand, "you shine beautifully, my friend. You walk as if it is your garden to do with as you please. And in my wanderings, I always return to you. I always return to see the colors of the garden in your shadow, or reflected in your eyes, perhaps, or to hear of your latest follies and mad obsessions. Besides, we are brothers, are we not?"
Louis & Lestat are so toxic!!
I BEG TO DIFFER.
IWTV: We all know this is the origin story of their toxicity. But does it continue that way? NO. See all the other canon interactions of Louis & Lestat.
TVL: a sweet reunion in a backyard, professing how much they love each other and missed each other and how the misunderstood each other. Louis is a special guest backstage. Lestat screams when he thinks Louis is stuck in an car explosion.
QotD: Louis worries about Lestat while he’s held captive by Akasha, he’s respectful of Lestat’s grief after the trauma and let’s him heal at his own pace, Lestat panics when Louis leaves without a word go New Orleans and follows him, Lestat confesses that he and Akasha were lovers and Louis is understanding, they take a romantic as fuck flight to London, Lestat holding Louis, Louis napping on Lestat’s chest, they nap some more in the grass once they land and Lestat cajoles Louis into having fun with him by bothering David.
TotBT: Louis comes over frequently to just hang out and watch tv, he advises Lestat to be careful, that he is frightened for him. They exchange the petty words of hurt lovers. Louis refuses to damn Lestat to a vampiric life again, no matter how much it breaks his heart, Lestat burns down Louis’ shack out of anger and spends the rest of the book thinking about how much he’s afraid of what their relationship will be like in the future, Louis confesses how miserable he was when Lestat was a human again and that he probably would’ve come back to find him. Lestat confesses to burning the shack and completely rebuilds the home the shared together for 60+ yrs. Lovingly welcomes David as Lestat’s new lover and fledgling.
MtD: Louis is panicked about the state of Lestat after his ordeal with Memnoch but doesn’t want to alarm Lestat, so he remains calm and soothing but begs him twice to come home to their flat in Rue Royale. Louis begs for Lestat’s life/ safety after as he is held captive by Maharet. He watches over Lestat after he becomes catatonic for years, lying on the ground, eyes open but unseeing, unresponsive.
1995 - 2000 Louis watches over Lestat alongside Armand, Marius, David and Gabrielle. He also visits alone to sit next to him, read to him, talk to him, clear the dust off of him. Misses him. Gets into his own drama and suffers a complete break, committing suicide. Somehow LESTAT KNOWS and wakes up, walks slowly to their home on Rue Royals and BEGS David & Merrick to tell him if they think he would want to come back, desperately making sure he’s making the right choice for Louis. He saves him, remaking him into a very powerful, significantly less human Louis. They live together with their other lovers, David and Merrick.
2000 -2013: Louis becomes resentful that he’s so much less human after being revived by Lestat’s blood and leaves, eventually coming back to Armand, residing at Trinity Gate, raising two fledglings. Lestat, sick in heart and feeling tremendous loneliness, wanders the earth as a loner for over nearly 13 years, unattached, afraid to get close to anyone, tired of screwing things up, occasionally watches Louis & Armand from across the street.
Prince Lestat: Lestat, in a quiet, stolen moment, after all the isolating drama of Amel & Rhosh, he firmly assures Louis that he is still himself, still Louis’ Lestat and professes his love once again, Louis confirms his heart belongs to Lestat. Louis finally faces all the questions he’s forced on himself, all the guilt, finally acknowledging that it has been useless this entire time, that there is a giant possibility for real happiness, that he feels excited, full of grace and STILL IN LOVE.
Realms of Atlantis: Lestat convinces Louis to meet him at their home in New Orleans, buys an entire room of clothing for him, and in a rare move, Louis wears the clothes given by Lestat FOR Lestat, admitting that he wanted to give Lestat what he wanted. They walk together, hunt together. Over beignets at Cafe du Monde, Louis makes very husband-like vows to Lestat with a vampiric version of Ruth 1:16, telling Lestat that his people are Louis’ people, that where Lestat goes, he will go, that because he has no other god and never will, Lestat shall be his god. He and Lestat are joined at the hip at the Château, and LOUIS finds the solution that will save Lestat’s life and the life of all the other vampires.
Blood Communion: Louis & Lestat live together as true partners and lovers, Louis rarely leaving Lestat’s side for very long. Lestat FINDS A NEW BEST FRIEND FOR LOUIS because he wants Louis to have someone who is more like him at Court. Louis is terrified for Lestat, after Rhosh kidnaps Gabrielle, staying as close as he can. They profess their love again and again, melting into each other while they embrace. Lestat is bereft and unmoored when he thinks that Louis is dead after being kidnapped by Rhosh. He feels nothing. He’s dead inside. He is triumphant once Louis back home. They profess their love again and dance together in front of everyone for the first time.
This doesn’t sound like a toxic relationship. This sounds like a couple who has an eternity to process their differences, who bicker like any other couple, who desperately love one another, who are incapable of holding grudges, and who separate when things aren’t working. Normal shit.
Well hey if it isn't everyone's favorite gay vampire. I haven't seen the new season yet so no spoilers, s'il te plaît!

How do we know that there ain't vampires?
What makes you think that vampires, beings that have little knives in their mouths, some being hundreds of years old, would let themselves get caught. How the hell would we know that vampires don't just blend in?
Don't you just love when you get all the books you want, then have so many books you want to read you end up not reading?
I am definitely not reading "Red White and Royal Blue" at the same time as "Dracula" or "The Interview With a Vampire" ontop of Edgar Alan poe poems. Definitely not🤣🤣🤣🤣🥲
Gale: It’s important to remember what makes us human
Armand: …
Gale: … well you know what I mean
LMAOO
why does he look so smug huh
Tav!Armand update:
Gale asking Karlach what he should do if someone showed romantic interest in him the day after Armand beamed an image of them making out into his brain lmaoo
Karlach said talk to him you bozo
Armand's kitten fangs hhihifhgighh
because Armand is a messy bitch he sleeps with Astarion at the tiefling party after having flirted with Gale since the start
Armand's adventures in Faerun continue...
Gale comparing Armand to Tara:
kitty Armand confirmed
Thus far Tav!Armand’s relationships with the other characters are:
- Astarion: saw through his ’seduction for survival’ thing immediately because it’s something he recognised in himself, rivals or trauma bonding? idk yet
- Shadowheart: they’re beefing because S is keeping secrets and A tried to dig around in her brain, there can only be one mysterious bitch around here
- Laezel: wants to fuck him? but what's new, mutual respect
- Gale: Armand thinks he’s endearing, they could yap for hours about anything
- Wyll: I think they’d have a great flirting stage but ultimately I think they have a difficult time truly understanding each other
- Karlach: how could anyone not love her?? she likes Armand because he believes in her
headcanons for Armand in BG3's Faerun
- kidnapped from the underdark as a child by duergar and taken to Baldur’s Gate (he’s half drow)
-bought by Marius and lived in his mansion in the uppercity
- probably met Cazador Szarr through Marius (I imagine they’d be rivals and Marius is showing off Armand)
- Marius has painted Raphael’s portrait for small favours (they’ve also fucked)
- kidnapped and brainwashed by Bhaal cultists and lived in the underground temple with them
- the guardian takes on the form of Marius when showing himself to Armand
- gets taken when hunting by the mindflayers and is now ’free’ for the first time in centuries
- learns through Karlach, Gale, Astarion, Wyll, Laezel and Shadowheart that he deserves to be free (the way they all had some higher power exerting control over them oh my babies)

Making Armand’s guardian in BG3 Marius was not a good choice man this shit is traumatic
Currently playing BG3 as Armand and let me tell you the jumpscare I got when the guardian first appeared and I remembered I made him look like Marius
something happened in my brain, and now u have to watch it
just saw Moulin Rouge for the first time and where are the Devil’s Minions AUs 💢💳💢💳
the desired courtesan falls in love with the kinda pathetic but endearing poor writer? the courtesan who gets deathly sick has to leave the boy to save him?? in a theatre in paris???
the play they’re making being an orientalist spectacle playing on Armand’s Indian heritage?? hello
Promo photoshoot for IWTV season 3 question mark?? But seriously, if the actors do something like that — I might perish.
Can finally post my art for the @devilsminionrbb! Along with this lovely fic by @helianthus21 written for it!!
Pose & composition based on Romeo & Juliet by Frank Bernard Dicksee
oh this is perfect!! the way armand looks exactly like that one st Sebastian painting and now finding out Daniel also looks like a bunch of them!!
I understand Armand, because young Daniel Molloy really did have a face that said ‘martyr me like one of your Saint Sebastians’
