Best RPF Ship - Round 4 Match 1

The way some ppl talk about Louis on twitter is VILE. That is a single mother who couldn’t have her own bank account and got cut off from her family when she got knocked up. Single mother dead husband trying to provide for her daughter and live her life at the same time and it’s all “she’s a bad parent!” SO?

Shall we turn custody over to the Frenchman? Do you think LESTAT would be better at enforcing healthy parent child boundaries? I will repeat that. You think LESTAT. Is bringing a real pearl clutching hand wringing vibe to making sure. He lays down appropriate boundaries between parent and child. You 1) think he is capable of doing this 2) prone to doing this 3) better at doing this than louis. I literally have to laugh

another claudia !!!!!

Daniel Molloy is such a nosy bitch, you can see his eyes glowing when he is informed that both Armand and Louis fucked Lestat a hundred years apart

claudia: so i’m a vampire and i just killed someone in front of you. this is what vampirism is. here are my diaries detailing the kills i’ve made and how i killed my dad. i hope this all doesn’t scare you…

madeleine who heard ‘i’m a vampire’ and got so horny she almost passed out:

guess i'm a liar who lies, because I forgot to post like 3 of those when i made the last post, so I had to go dip into the archives for some of these. I cannot find these without sharing them, it is the cross I carry,

Armand would definitely try carbonating blood in a sodastream

Can we talk about how in the show Lestat and Armand are framed as narrative foils. Armand and Lestat who are both so aggressively theater kids, but Lestat who acts, who draws in the attention and holds it, and Armand who directs, who shapes and manipulates the narrative. Armand and Lestat's obsession with Louis and his love and frustration with his melancholy over Lestat and Claudia respectively. Who both felt second in his heart. Who fear loneliness above all else. Lestat taking what he wants to excess - no impulse control, and Armand letting things happen to him and trying to manipulate situations to get what he wants but never taking it. Armand, who even in the end, so much more powerful, never physically imposes himself on Louis. Armand who seeks complete control in subtle insidious ways. Lestat who seeks control in the physical. Armand and Lestat brought into vampire life in horrifying ways tangled up with SA. Armand who still talks about his maker with reverence, Lestat who hates his maker. Armand who pours all of himself into his partner, willing to shape himself into what they desire but ultimately needing control to feel safe. Lestat who pours all of his love into his partner but unwilling to change himself and ultimately cedes control in moments to maintain the relationship. Armand who clings to his breaking apart relationship for 77 YEARs, Lestat who let Louis go. Lestat and Armand who watch Claudia die, but one as a father and one as a murderer. Lestat and Armand so intense in their love but Lestat so painfully external and Armand so painfully internal as characters. Both constantly acting and putting on a face. Lestat as Mozart and Armand as Salieri (in the flashback scene!). Armand who loves routine and structure and repetion, Lestat who craves change and excitement. The calling cards are echos, who learned from who. Armand teaching Lestat the vampire gifts, Lestat teaching Armand a new way to live. on and on....
