//It is my firm headcanon that Daniel Molloy taught Armand to drive, during Armand’s “learn all of the technology” phase. Which had to have been about the most frustrating and simultaneously terrifying experience of Daniel’s young mortal life. (Can you imagine trying to teach Armand to merge onto a freeway while he’s more concerned at watching the speedometer and asking how it works? CAN YOU?)
“It’s not legal to drink while you’re in a car, Daniel.” “STOP LOOKING AT ME AND PAY ATTENTION TO THE GODDAMN ROAD.”
For this reason, I also think Daniel never stops giving Armand shit about his driving and always tries to insist on taking the wheel when they go anywhere together in a car (this is a fight he probably loses a lot.)
my sister and i were having fun playing with this video game name generator and coming up with games based on it. and one of the choices was, to us, “a weird 1980s 8bit PC game lost to time” so i sketched this comic and you guys should be used to my “sense of humor”
and no, daniel can handle the viking baby game, armand. he just thinks you’re creepy.
i’d been talking to my sister about how the coven is like family that tolerate/love each other, then hate each over & over. only bc vampires it’s like hundreds of years instead of between holidays. we decided it reminded us of southern folk most bc lord god if any group is BEST at interchanging PA tolerance and grudging love, it’s
kinfolk south of the mason-dixon line. bless their hearts.
so then southern family mortal AU
armand is clearly the spoiled baby of the family who has fucked everyone over at least once being selfish & lestat is the black sheep. louis exists between being embarrassed by and endeared to them kinda like canon Huh
“damnitarmand is such an incredible Armand. Their prose is rich and beautiful and they manage to capture all of the different facets of Armand’s complex and mercurial personality so well. Their writing is always such a pleasure to read.”
//YES. If you are not following them, you should fix that right the hell now. The mun is my writing soul mate so i may be a wee bit biased but this is 100% true.
// vagabonddaniel is one of the most wonderful people in the world and incredible to write with. I wouldn’t be here on Tumblr if he hadn’t tempted me into joining. Thank you for taking the time to comment, and I can only hope that you’ll continue to enjoy the threads!
Answered that mostly in my notp tag, in which annabellioncourt answered the aged-up Claudia question very well:
I’ve thought a lot on the Claudia/Louis thing, and while I don’t think an aged up Claudia would give a second thought to ravishing Louis, she’s a symbol for everything that horrifies him about himself, and I don’t think that that would exactly be grounds for amorous thoughts. Sure, he loves her and cares for her, but I think if she was an adult, it’d be a lot easier for him to see just how far mentally out there she is, how evil, how unable to understand human goodness she had grown to be.
With Lestat, I think it would be much the same.
I think Claudia still would have tried to kill Lestat, bc she was after his power, too, and disgruntled that he wouldn’t give them the answers about their origins as a species.
Armand still would have had his coven kill her (one could argue whether he orchestrated that or just went along with Santiago’s decision) because he wanted Louis all to himself, and knew that Louis would have a hard time ever separating himself from Claudia.
