@amadeogirl he's genuinely the funniest boy alive. between this and being told to stay in bc that there's a pervert who wants to chop his head off for not daring to run away to england and him ignoring all that and caring ab the sheer TERROR of NOT GOING OUT for THREE NIGHTS??!?!? horrible

@pax_cow they are at suchhh a dissonance about it. this is why even if armand were to do literally everything, everything that he Could do can't be enough bc not only has claudia already died but it's like. his atonement doesn't rlly concern Claudia. failmarriage of all time

part of loumand to me is that they don't really understand each other's grief. and armand is the reason for louis' grief (even if he doesn't know how much of a role he had in it, he does know about armand being complicit), and louis' grief is also the reason that loumand

i wish circles were still a thing bc i hate posting interpretations publicly hence i have to add 50 IN MY OPINION, statements. ok bye

[klara @arm6nd]

the acknowledgement of it isn't really Properrr. like just bc you build something on top of this grief it doesn't mean it's still not there under it all and part of what makes him. iykwim. and the thing is that when they do acknowledge their issues (sanfran fight) it really

Go Back To Normal and assume their roles and become increasingly dependent on each other in a way. resentment cycle repeat!

[klara @arm6nd]

even for him but i just think it's easier to hurt him when you use *this* against him and to get him to react, as opposed to when they have to acknowledge Louis' pain. like i don't know how to word it bc yeah again this relationship is built on the atonement for louis' pain but

jealousy (i do think louis acts posessively over armand to some degree. partially because armand owes him something). circling back to this grief being sthg armand can acknowledge i don't mean it in the sense that armand's feelings towards his past are simple and digestible

[klara @arm6nd]

ability to understand the complexity of the situation would be crippled by underlying resentment (of armand, of the fact that This Grief is something armand can acknowledge), his own complex feelings irt: guilt (louis has been exploitative of others in the past too), and

[klara @arm6nd]

it's just Difficult i guess and whether you put it one way or the other there's gonna be something amiss with the way you describe it and i don't personally think louis is someone who is very good at Talking Feelings. and i don't think he'd blame armand but i do think his

that armand isn't actually hurt By Claudia. on the contrary, armand's grief about his past plays a more active role in their relationship, bc the power dynamic they are performing Is based on marius. however idt armand's feelings about marius are properly acknowledged because

persists (because he doesn't know the role armand had in it, and thinks lestat had a larger role). but even the part that he does know goes unacknowledged, and i see this as being aided by the fact that idt armand is earnestly apologetic for killing *claudia.* i don't think he's

[klara @arm6nd]

atoning for that. he's atoning for louis' being hurt. and i think that louis does wish armand would like really Give Him Something, but armand can't give him something the way he wants him to because armand is at a dissonance with what he's actually sorry for. it hurts louis
