It’s said to be silky and seductive when he’s merely amused. But when Armand laughs—truly laughs—his cheeks raise like little apples and his mouth becomes a great smile and the sound that leaves it is akin to a schoolboy.

I wish Lestat had at least threatened Louis with a little teensy bit of European vampire info! I guess he was afraid to give anything away, that he might end up letting it all spill out.
such delish *u* altho Lestat was pretty much comatose… and it did end in Armand getting…
Ohh yes I do hope for more A/L stuff in PL since that last we saw if them two together was heartbreakingly sweet and tbh I wanna see more of how their relationship has built. You know i was talking with
over the phone a week ago about how Armand, having never been properly taught by Marius or the Children of Darkness how to approach the scene in Palais Royale, really had no clue Lestat would reject his gesture of ‘vampire romance’ —for lack of a better word. That and Lestat himself had NO clue how that kind of thing happened because he still was confused about how to vampire and like—that whole scene would have gone entirely different I think if they had communicated more (also if Armand stopped with that glamouring). But ye…I could ramble about the palais royale scene bc it is just—another part of tvl that really set up and defined Lestat and Armand’s relationship….)
ABSOLUTELY AGREED. The first time I read that scene I was all “Ooooh Armand you lil monster! Beating earned.” But yeah, after all the subsequent VC information, I see that scene very differently now, more like: “Lestat you dumbass, he wasn’t attacking, that was leurve/making-out vampire style omg”
such delish *u* altho Lestat was pretty much comatose… and it did end in Armand getting smacked hard enough to send him flying across the room, i think. but hey, it was smtg ❤
;D True but yeah—must of meant something if Armand was the only even allowed to bite him, much less be near him!)

I know, right?! Armand just wanna be loved ;A; Armand and Lestat will always have a love/hate thing going on but they definitely care about eachother… it’s obvious in that unconscious!Lestat did let Armand bite him when he wouldn’t let him when awake.
Also I kind of want to share this from a PM conversation I had and something I shared on the phone with monsieur-le-rockstar last night:
I agree, yeah, Marius did a lot of dumb shit to try to prove he could give something to Armand, that he had something to offer when really time and distance grew them apart. Marius was his first loves, not last one you know? And ugh. Well, I mostly believe Marius isn’t blameless in the way he instilled in Armand how to think love is to be treated. People forget that yes while Marius rescued him from the brothel, there is also the point that Armand was probably raped on the way there and defiled and beaten to amnesia. And when someone he thought to be his savior, who he welcomed so willingly to save him, took him home…This same savior taught him a “carnal” type of love. I mean he pleasured a very traumatized rape victim who had also come from a background beforehand where he had literally been taught to not even KNOW how his dingly functioned. It’s just…he went about it the entirely wrong way and continued it. You can see evidence in TVL when Armand bites Lestat after sharing blood with him and Lestat interprets it as a rape (which it is) and pummels him. Because that was all Armand was taught to know, and probably was not taught much differently under the oppression of the children of darkness who were just as blind to propriety and how to handle these things in a modern age. I think at that moment he wanted to draw Lestat in as a companion, a lover. He just kind of fucked up in consent department(seriously Lestat had NO clue how vampires loved like that back then). Personally, I think by now Armand is coming to terms with thoughts like these with ALL his relationships and happenings in the past .
(I don’t want to cheapen this wonderful commentary in any way but it did remind me of this sweet little fanart so here it is:)
Actually, there seems to be a few steps missing from this ‘guide’. I don’t want to mislead my fans into thinking they can achieve proper Lestatism in less than ten steps.
Have impeccable fashion sense
Fall in love with (almost) anyone who seems even remotely interesting…. except for Armand.
Remember to visit Louis at least once or twice every few years or so, less he start whining loud enough for you to hear it.
(Actually pretend youre not obsessed with Armand by saying you love everyone but him)
