something something Devil's Minion being like a very dark version of Hualian. The whole god/devotee aspect of it. Daniel literally calling Armand his god and himself the devil's minion.. the vibes are vibing hbriebgeri
San Lang saying to Xie Lian "I am forever your most devoted believer." San Lang worshipping his god which makes him ascend to godhood & also descend and become a calamity just like with Daniel becoming a vampire, wanting forever with Armand.
Hua Cheng to Xie Lian: "The one standing in infinite glory is you; the one fallen from grace is also you. What matter is 'you' and not the state of you." TELL ME this isn't Daniel asking Armand if he wanted a drink after Louis leaves the penthouse.. albeit in a very fucked up way lmao but yeah Daniel not caring about the 'state' of Armand (though he enjoys knocking him down a peg) and simply wanting his company.
And Xie Lian to Hua Cheng: "Only after having met you did I rediscover that it's such a simple thing to he happy." Which is SO Armand coded like he really does discover the joys of life with Daniel and how easy it can all be with the right person (though they still need a LOT of time to become 'right' for each other).
And the whole Wu Ming and San Lang versions of Hua Cheng being like the show's version of Past and Present Daniel. I don't even want to start how Xie Lian fits as both Armand AND Louis in Daniel's life. Like "Make me your reason to live." and "Listen to me as though I'm a God.. There's stories that need to be told." Xie Lian/Louis being the lifelines of Hua Chen/Daniel. Damn I might need to make a whole different post for Hualian/Danlou parallels fbbhbherjhf
