Spoilers for Emmerdale 8/21/2025

Something Mack said to John today. When everything went down and John did what he did. Mack asks him if that's what he's going to tell Aaron. Then John says "don't bring Aaron into this." Mack follows that up with "He's everything." Now I always assumed their friendship was just that but now I wonder. Mack didn't like John from the start and he didn't like Robert either. While I never felt he was jealous, maybe he was just good at hiding it. Now I'm probably reaching here. Today's episode sucked and I hate it and wish is never happened. I still hope for a miracle.

My thoughts on Daniel and the paper bag story. I think besides the vague bad dad and husband title, they wanted people to know he is not a great person either. As bad as the story is, I think it shows he is more like Louis than he thinks. Human Louis sold women. He admitted that he heard them crying but he was getting money so that was worth it. Now as for Armand, I think he was actually pretty innocent before he was turned, not in that way sadly because of him being sold but I just can't see him doing anything bad. Louis and Daniel both have this cruelty in them that they bounce off of each other. Lestat, he's in a category all to himself.

The same people who say Lestat and Louis aren't canon are the same that say Ruth and Idgie aren't canon. You don't know gay if it's staring you in the face.

Emmerdale spoilers for Aug. 18, 2025

So it seems all Robert and Aaron needed to do was be in a house alone for things to happen again. Makes since, they kissed on the bridge Robert's first day when no one was around. It's so interesting, after all the times where Robert had to be the strong one for Aaron, now Aaron's being that person for Robert. I will admit I'm a bit worried now they both have so much trauma. And now that Aaron's cheated, something he's loathed people for (except Robert because reasons), I fear Aaron will spiral. When Aaron spirals it goes one of two ways, he lashes out or he hurts himself. I don't think he'll lash out at Robert any longer, seeing how he's struggling. But I'm not sure because while Robert is traumatized, he still is Robert and he's very goal oriented.

One more thing I'm late to the IWTV tiktoks. So I've noticed some saying that Daniel's hated Armand from the jump. I don't see it that way, I think he's felt the deception and secrets from the start. I also think the reason why Armand played Rashid in season 1 was in hopes of Daniel's memory edit he did held. I think he thought if he was Armand, it would jog Daniel's memory and look, it did. A reason I think Daniel and Armand are good together. Louis sees Armand as lower than him, in the show, this is been shown over and over again. Lestat wanted Armand's knowledge and got that. Armand is so used to being what others want he hasn't been able to show the real him, but Daniel has seen through all of his facades. Just from the last episode it doesn't look like Daniel is going to be as lost as he was in the books but the trailer, I think he's not well. I can't wait to see what happens. I love Lestat and Louis and their storylines but I'm really here for Daniel and Armand.

My thoughts on why Assad was hired for Armand. This is besides he's amazing and has made Armand his own. No, I'm talking about his age. They always had plans for Devil's Minion and while 30 something playing 27 with a 70 year old man is a weird match. Could you think of the blowback if it was a real teenager or a early 20-something playing a 17 year old? So this is why I believe we are actually getting Devil's Minion and that Eric won't stop talking(not that I mind).

Does Louis really ever pick Claudia?

As far as I've seen, he loves Claudia but he picks men over her. Not that he treats them well. Lestat, I can get because he's Lestat. But with Armand, he picked Armand over Claudia even in her death just to piss off Lestat. I'm glad Claudia died seeing someone pick her, really and truly pick her. Madeleine picked Claudia knowing it would be her death. Louis didn't even pick Claudia over a man he's known a few years. I love Armand but that was cold to pick him over her. The only thing I can say is they are all monsters and I love them and hate them at the same time, which I think is the premise. LOL.

[zealouskittenfox]

Until I am proven otherwise, I believe Armand and Daniel were together at some point in the past.

[zealouskittenfox]

Without going into Armand's horrific and traumatic human life, let's talk about Daniel calling him a rent boy. Daniel, my love, takes one to know one right? But I like that he hasn't actually hid how he was. Ready to have sex with Louis for drugs and telling Armand he could be on his knees in seconds. I hope we get more backstory on Daniel along with Armand. Armand's is going to be sad but Daniel an addict at 20, it's probably not going to be a barrel of laughs either.

[zealouskittenfox]

Reactors that I have a problem with about IWTV is they pick one person and hate. Be it Armand, Louis, Lestat or Claudia. The whole point is none of them are "good" they are all murderers. Here I'll only talk about the show, but Louis the "moral" one UNTIL he gets angry and then he is more sadistic than Lestat on a bad day. Claudia, turned at 14 so still has out of control hormones but she's not dumb. She kills and relishes it. Also, the trophies were a bit icky. Armand, horrible backstory but is more like Lestat than Louis wants to admit. He doesn't see the point in humanity except for food. He may not kill like Lestat but something is messed up about having someone ask to be drained and killed. I don't really have to give the bad stuff about Lestat, that's pretty clear. But you can't hate one for being immoral, they all are. Maybe Lestat had turned insane in the tower right before he was killed, making him insane now, I don't know. Because we've only gotten Louis story so far, of course the one we've seen the worst of is Lestat. Louis wanted Lestat back in his own way. The only one that I can't really say anything about is Daniel because he was human most of the two seasons. But every bad thing I've heard about him wasn't that horrible story about the girl that Armand read from him. No, the people hate him because he's brash and digs for the truth. Dude that's his job. Look at him at 20 and see how far he's come.

I'm not one of those Armand is Alice people BUT I think maybe parts of Alice is Armand. Somethings just don't work time wise. I can't explain it but the timeline of Daniel proposing to Alice in Paris seems off. He proposed to her twice there? Is that what they are saying, first she said no then she said yes. No, I think he proposed to Armand, he said no, he didn't trust the love was real (and he was with Louis) but because he didn't want that memory gone forever for Daniel, he changed it. He made it him proposing to Alice instead. I do believe there is an Alice and she's the mother of Daniel's oldest daughter at least. But I think the person who said no to his proposal was Armand.

[zealouskittenfox]

Watching Delores Claiborne and get a sneak surprise of Eric Bogosian playing the daughter's boss. He was a bad boss. Change woman to vampire and they could be talking about Armand or Daniel.

[zealouskittenfox]

I like Claudia but she broke through at the trial to tell them that Lestat and Antoinette was trying to kill them. Yes but only after Louis and Claudia tried to kill him. Was Lestat innocent? Very much no, he was a tyrant to her, we'll have to wait to see how he was according to him later but still. That part annoyed me a bit but since he was horrible killed later I can't feel that bad because like I said, I did like her. I think if she hadn't gone to Europe, the three of them probably wouldn't have made up and be like before but find some kind of middle ground.

[zealouskittenfox]

Funny how Louis told Armand once that it made him look weak flexing his power. Louis proved here he couldn't spar with Daniel on intelligence level so he invaded his mind to break him. Just like when he used it to make Daniel's ticks out of control. I like Louis but he's not vampire he tells himself he is. He's cruel and vindictive, very much his maker's fledgling.

[zealouskittenfox]

In reactions people usually have only two ways to think about Daniel. Either they love him for his brash attitude and hunt for the truth. Or they are annoyed by his brash attitude, thinking that he pushes too much. I think he wouldn't have gotten the truth if he just let Louis and Armand tell the story they wanted with no pushback. Could he be antagonistic? Of course but that's what Louis needed to keep him from making this tale even more fanciful than the last. I've also noticed it's a lot of the Claudia stans that get upset with him but I don't think they realize, he's the biggest Claudia stan. He's the only one that was trying to get the truth about what happened to her. In the first season, with her assault(s) by Bruce, while he went about it a tackles way, he wanted her own words. For someone as obsessed with knowing someone last words, I think it was telling that he wanted the truth. She had lived through it, Louis being fine with sharing every other personal detail of her life (Charlie. The murders. Madeleine) but not this was Louis trying to rewrite Claudia's life. In season two, Daniel is even more trying to get to the bottom of what happened to Claudia. Knowing something is off with the story he is being told.

[zealouskittenfox]

It's interesting watching reaction videos and their different takes on the characters. Some, mostly those who read the books, Lestat stans, every bad thing he does, they excuse(I'm guilty of this too). Then there are ones that just watched the movie and for some reason always seem surprised when the Claudia's end comes. This just goes for the book readers who have done reaction videos but I noticed a lot of them do not give Louis very much grace. I know why but still. Book readers also get excited when Armand is uncovered. AND EVERY F-ING ONE of them when the scene in 2x7 happens and shows Armand "trapped" in the box, they are all like "What? Sam is guarding Armand?" Then there is laughing and none of them believe it, they all are sus from that point on about him.
