thinking hard about the Married Vampires Show that louis and armand are staging (trying to stage) every day in dubai. hard for me to stop thinking about it. this is where the laughter will go (daniel does not laugh). this is where we will charm the audience (Daniel is not charmed). okay PLACES EVERYONE. the role of rashid will now be played by rashid. ENTER ARMAND, STAGE RIGHT. the production is falling apart! louis you’re changing your lines. Cut. take five. we're editing the script. i mean it's all so controlled but it's also. wildly out of control. armand you are world's most beautiful complex awful depressing embarrassing and scary puppeteer who is also weirdly not good at his job (keeping romantic hold of a man who is terrified to be alone with himself). this is armand: I've Convinced My Favourite Marionette That He and I Are In A Relationship of Equal Standing, Because He Tells Me What To Do In Bed Sometimes. okay quiet on set everyone. louis please remember that you're happy to be here. and ACTION.

imagine you're anthony bourdain getting invited by maxim de winter to his beautiful estate in manderley to record an upcoming Food Network special. you have a michelin star level meal and then maxim starts ranting about some woman named rebecca and how this bitch ruined his life through her manipulative gorilla grip pussy and baby trapping. maxim starts crying when you point out a hole in his bullshit story and then mrs. danvers, the housekeeper who has been creepin in the corner this whole time, levitates off the ground and yells "HE SAID NO PICKLES" before you get a sudden flashback to when you were 20 years old in a stank ass apartment, offering to suck mrs. danvers' cock to stop the telekinetic torture she's inflicting on your body for trying to fuck mr. de winter while high on drugs. well something really similar happened to my grandpa daniel molloy

they’re unionizing

this is my cocomelon

Louis: so i got into the confessional booth and i said to the priest I LAID DOWN WITH A MAN!! I LAID DOWN WITH THE DEVIL!! AND HE HAS ROOTS IN ME, ALL HIS SPINDLY ROOTS IN ME! AND I CANT THINK NOTHING ANYMORE BUT HIS VOICE AND HIS WORDS! PLEASE! HELP ME! I AM WEAK! I WANNA DIE! but Lestat, he knew where I was and he found me, Mr. Molloy. He found me and punched clean through that priest’s-

Armand on that damn ipad:

I scarcely know how to describe that room. It became, in a way, every room I had ever been in and every room I find myself in hereafter will remind me of Giovanni’s room.

i received too much positive reinforcement so here's an extended version of my lestat vid

louis...that vile creature you insist on calling your daughtersister keeps pointing at different bugs on the sidewalk and saying "that's you". how do i make her stop. louis this is most vexing. she said i was a slúg, louis. a horrible slimy slúg. i am not a slug. i am like a venomous butterfly. tell her i am like a butterfly, louis.

loouis, louies... watch this programme de télévision with me, loeuies. it has revealed to me a most thrilling premise.... you see, the handsome psychoanalysist communes with the troubled young man who is ill at ease with his sublime gift, that which allows him to hear the dark songs in the hearts and minds of men.... and it appears it is the very doctor of his mind, louise, whose heart might sing the darkest song of them all. is that not electrifying, louuie? don't you find it devastatingly fateful? luoiuise?

lestat saying 'come to coffin' instead of 'come to bed' is sending meee

so louis wanted to present the end of this chapter as him and claudia riding off into the sunset into this new adventure, to the point that the episode could have ended right there as they ride down the street with the music swelling. but then daniel tears the narrative apart, saying that claudia seemed to hate louis for a while, her diary shows us that louis had no interest in her quest to find vampires (in the diary entry she says she wants to go the places she’s read about in her books, and that louis doesn’t seem to care about it) and that he was anxious and morose over what they did. then we see the memories filtering in through the cracks of this construct. claudia did want to burn lestat, but louis refused, instead of both of them not wanting to burn lestat. he pinned her against the wall just like lestat did, her face in anguish. you chose lestat over her time and time again. louis screaming while holding lestat’s corpse in contrast to his numbness sitting a length away from lestat in his recollection. murder? what murder? you arranged everything just so that lestat could survive. trunks that lock from the inside. where does the trash go, louis? was it raining, louis? the biggest rat eater of them all. it was an act of mercy. you spared him. you saved his life. and you turned against your daughter, your sister, for the man you love. memory IS a monster, and it’s coming for louis in s2.
