"the ten hours i spent with that boy were more exciting, more fascinating, than decades with you."
All my love belongs to you. You are its keeper. A veil will now forever separate our union. But it is a thin veil, and I’m always on the other side, face pressed up against your longing.
p.o.v trying to act cute so your bf won't kill you.

*throwing him around like a ragdoll* wow you're pretty.
for me, armand's manipulation and obfuscation and lies are about his deep fear of discovery, not just of his crimes but of himself. he knows that when louis learns the truth it will be over, and he'll be alone, and if he's not with louis he's nothing, because who is armand if he can't be of service, if he's not loved, even if it's only a shadow of love, if he's not a thing that molds itself into any shape to get what he needs because he has no identity of his own? once louis learns the truth about the trial you can hear him desperately trying every excuse and explanation he can find - it's a forgery, santiago did it and i was forced to go along because he wanted me to suffer, okay maybe i did it but it was just one night 70 years ago and you are over this louis, you don't feel pain over it anymore, it's just an insignificant detail, you've forgiven me louis, we can go back to how things used to be, everything that gives you happiness gives me happiness. he has kept up this charade, this house of cards, knowing any day it might fall apart and when it does he still tries so hard to keep it all together because who is he without something or someone to fill his life? if he doesn't have marius or the children of darkness or the theatre des vampires or louis, then who is he? and is he maybe scared of what he'll find?
"to save your own life armand, you screwed over louis, claudia and madeleine and then you sat in the best seat in the house watching the consequences of you screwing them over."
