I Have No Idea How to Use This Thing

I wouldn't say Louis "can't sing" is canon. We hear him sing- and even harmonize- with Lestat when they sing Happy Birthday to Claudia. His voice is established as beautiful in the show... However, it is also established that Louis hasn't liked performing since his brother's death. It's not that he can't sing, it's that performance of any kind, has been badly tainted by trauma. I can actually see Louis singing part of one of Lestat's songs to him when they reunite, or perhaps they sing a little together, but only in private.

Right, fuck this. In the spirit of ‘be the change you want to see’, I think we should celebrate Assad Zaman, because fuck knows AMC won’t, so someone has to step up to the plate.

Here’s a Ten Things I Love About Assad’s Performance As Armand list:

Feel free to add your own thoughts in notes or reblogs. Let’s appreciate the hell out of him.

Tom at the Olivier Awards today.

I don't care what 'side' of the fandom you're on, the executive producer of the show saying that the rest of the cast don't matter during an FYC event should have all of us OUTRAGED!

Sam was clearly made very uncomfortable by the comment—as he should be! Because understands that the show is a collaborative effort. He loves and appreciates his costars, and he would never undermine their talent or seek to unfairly place himself above them.

Sam understands Jacob's vital importance as the lead of the show, and the amount of responsibility and work that entails. For Jacob to be entirely dismissed by Mark Johnson, even as a casual joke, is not only incredibly disrespectful, it's also detrimental to the show as a whole.

I know people in this fandom love to argue about everything, but there are no sides to this issue. It's one of the few things we should all collectively rally behind. This show would be nothing without Jacob Anderson, Assad Zaman, Delayne Hales, Eric Bogosian, Bailey Bass, and their contribution deserves to be highlighted as much as Sam's.

Oh my.

daniel molloy character of all time once again: like imagine you’re a 20-something drug addict and a terrible journalist on account of being 20-something and a drug addict and you randomly meet a vampire at a gay bar and you think wow I might get drugs, gay sex and a story out of this and instead what you get is psychologically and physically tortured by his husband and your memories of it all erased and then 50 years later you’re DYING and those vampires show up in your life again to ask you to write the story of their happy marriage and your memory might be fucked but ON GOD you WILL ruin that marriage if it’s the last thing you do. and then not only do you succeed and walk out of it alive, but also with a bestseller, millions in your bank account AND immortality AND the knowledge that your annoying human ass was somehow the one thing that made that 500+ year old predator so mad that he broke his lifetime vow to never turn anyone. AND, on top of that, you’re out of the CLOSET.

Armand name dropping the film “now ,voyager” is foreshadowing his future character arc (analysis)

You know how Iwtv is constantly references plays, films ,and paintings to foreshadow plot points or allude to character arcs or motivations ? I really hope Armand dropping the film title “now, voyager” is alluding to the Armand and Benji dynamic in future seasons . And also Armand’s character arc in general.

The main character Charlotte is paralleled to Armand on multiple occasions . Charlotte had an abusive-controlling parent that was her “companion” and who treated her like a “servant “ (cough Marius /Armand parallel). Charlotte is mistaken as a nurse ,went by a (fake) French alias, and was also called a “fledgling” .In one scene Charlotte discusses “immortality “ and jokes that she’s “immune to burns” (like she is to happiness) and says she’d be grateful to simply get “crumbs “ of romantic affection (hello, Armand ) Charlotte also says another character is a “Charlotte also says another character is a “gift “ from their ex (Armand says Daniel was a “gift from Louis”,in the books) . There’s even a scene where she shows her love interest an old (unrecognizable) picture of herself, refers to the image of herself in the 3rd person , and then mentions her past trauma.

She also mentions how she was so desperate for romantic love that she did sexual things that her romantic competition wouldn’t . She even says she really doesn’t understand romantic love (despite wanting it) so she just repeats things she’s heard in romance books. Armand also recited Romeo and Juliet ( to Louis), and didn’t understand that -that’s not love but infatuation. And of course the infatuation between the 2 led to a blood bath of those around them (the Romeo & Juliet reference foreshadowing the coven and claudeleine’s fate).

Also Charlotte starts mentally healing after becoming a foster parent to a 12 y old (who reminds her of her past self). Hmm like 12 y old Benji who was sold by his parents and exploited and abused (who Armand later fosters)?
