i appreciate so much armand's lack of social skills, him admitting to love someone at the most inopportune moments possible. and based on the dm leak we have, armand will probably do the same thing AGAIN with daniel 😭😭
#tvlspoiler Say what you want about how bad Armand is, but he wasn’t the one laughing while Nicki lost it. He doesn’t look happy, he looks resigned, because as he’s said, he’s seen this exact scenario play out dozens of times before.
i need “armandcels” who say that armand lies about every single thing & continually demonize him at every possible turn to see themselves out. idk who u think ur stanning but that’s not armand baby that’s the cartoon villain that the ppl who hate him think he is.
The way everyone is calling Daniel specially shitty this episode but i didn't even notice a shift bc i always saw him being this shitty # understander

@ladvlazarus Rice had Armand acting like an absolute lunatic for no clear reason, and I don’t think that works with the more complex version of him we get later in the book series or the version of him the show is going for.
@ladvlazarus They’ve changed a lot of Armand’s more evil actions to make them have a more clear cut thought process/motivation behind them. I don’t think that’s watering him down, but instead trying to make him a more coherent character with a clearer internal self
I can’t think of one good reason for Lestat to lie about this. This wouldn’t be the first time the show changed up Armand’s actions from what he did in the book, and I’m pretty sure that’s what’s happening here.
#tvlspoiler i hope we revisit the nicki hand scene bcos like. obviously lestat is lying about armand not doing it. but it annoys me that we don't get to see the truth right now anyway lol
@dantesletters1 I mean, yes, and also, Armand was indoctrinated into a cult where he was given these responsibilities and forced to see Vampires loose themselves over and over. Armand’s expression is grim recognition because he’s seen this all before and knows how it plays out
