marius de orientalist not trusting eastern european/south asian armand with his secrets but do trusting white blue eyed blond french lestat and white blue eyed blonde italian bianca with them https://t.co/CJpfkX6c6p
you guys really underestimate how ignorant this fandom is at large, i once saw a tiktok comment section where people were only just discovering louclaudia sat separate from lestat on the train because of segregation, that they thought louclaudia were just excluding him on purpose
@jadecike Thank you sm, honestly I hadn't expected to get so much hate for it, I thought what I said was pretty obvious but alas. I had to block anon asks over it because people were rude. I'm literally a POC myself, I'm speaking on it because my culture has similar history (Algerian)
@Moody_reader25@jadecike I KNOW, they're insane, I literally got like essays defending Marimand including defending the fact that Marius whipping a 15 yo Armand was "BDSM" and that Armand liked it, what is wrong with those people 😭
the amount of people who seem to think its absurd to point out that dark skinned south asian muslim actor with a non-christian name is constantly the subject of micro-agressions and racialized harassment in 2026 is like. astounding.
it's absurd how obnoxious and intellectually superior these white people get coming on here to talk about how they enjoyed tvl unlike us 'dumb' people who couldn't comprehend it, like you couldn't identify the blatantly bigoted and racist writing and you think you're intelligent?
A fic centered around a romance between Armand and my OC/persona Nelya, a nonbinary fem, bi, demisexual, Algerian Muslim, and through it some of my own interpretations of Armand as well, and how colonialism affected him.
Thought I'd share here too but I don't post on here often lmao.
I wrote an IWTV fic with Armand and my Algerian fem enby OC/sona, it's on AO3, it's titled "Painted in gold".

After a successful deal with a promising artist, Armand finds himself in Marseille, in the 80s, ready to celebrate with a kill to sate his hunger, when the thoughts of an Algerian fledgling vampire flit to him. Intrigued, he follows them, hoping to see what they might hold.
dehli character being the perpetrador of the most horrific violence + humiliated at every turn + having his romantic relationship with the protagonist of the season sidelined and undermined + stuck with the other white character who says racist quips to other bipoc characters
daniel molloy is a racist, ableist, sexual predator.
his eternal companion is a brown csa survivor that people headcanon as autistic.
i don't need to wish bad on armand because the writers already gave him the worst possible ending.
i can't conceive a less compatible duo.
so they chose to villainise their only brown main to an excessive degree, but instead of pitting him against the white protagonist they decided to have him torture their black secondary protagonist for no meaningful reason Okay. #tvlspoilers
