I made a little captive prince dustjacket for myself hehe ✨️

I was a little frustrated that I couldn't get the polish captive prince special editions 😔 (And the new US covers weren’t out yet, but I will definetly get those now!!)

So I went: 'Fine. I'll do it myself."

I don't know what got into me, but I started to add more and more to this and it ended up taking me 60 hrs 💀

Still not satisfied with everything (especially the font and frame) but it's ok, maybe I'll come back to that a little later ✨️

!Not everything is super accurate since it has been some time since I read the books and I (again 😭) didn't have them with me, while working on this!

An under-rated Iwtv scene: was when Armand mentions Daniel’s “encrypted laptop.”

Because that literally means the vampire (who’s over 500 years old) is tech savvy enough to attempt to hack Daniel’s computer. And was annoyed that the encryption stopped him from doing so. But Louis, who isn’t into tech, completely missed what Armand admitted to (and Daniel clocked it immediately).

Armand hacking into his computer is not only a hilarious visual ( but incredibly suspicious behavior from Armand). He’s so desperate to discover how much Daniel knows that he attempts to hack his laptop instead of just …reading his mind??? Even though it would have been easier? Hmm , interesting that in the 70s he was fine with reading Daniel’s mind (but in the current timeline refuses to do so and even tells Daniel it was “wrong” for Louis to do it). Even when Armand’s pissed that he can’t hack into his laptop (he still doesn’t read his mind). And of course Armand’s refusal to do so (literally backfires on him in the end). Maybe he feels so much guilt for what he did the last time he was in Daniel’s mind ( *cough* big memory wipe) that he refused to ever go into Daniel’s mind again? Even if it causes the destruction of his marriage. Daniel: “you were an ancient vampire you could have read anyone’s mind you wanted. Why didn’t you ?” Armand: … love … it was love .

Armand isn’t an idiot - long before ep8 he already suspected Daniel was in contact with the talamasca. He knew Daniel had info about Paris (that wasn’t in the archives). Daniel’s excuse to him , was his researcher found the info . But Armand probably suspected it was a lie (and again he doesn’t read Daniel’s mind to verify if the excuse was true). And Instead he hacks into Daniel’s computer and sees encryptions (probably making Armand suspect even more, possible talamasca involvement ). It’s why he later asked Rashid over and over again , if Daniel was left alone to talk to anyone (talamasca). And of course instead of just reading Daniel’s mind to learn if he had met up with someone , he just grills Rashid about it (making Louis suspicious of him). And of course before that scene - Daniel already revealed Armand’s lies to Louis (relating to San-Fran ) using the talamasca audio files. Armand KNEW Daniel was probably involved with the talamasca and that just like San Fran (Daniel may reveal lies about Paris). But he’d rather let that happen than actually go back into Daniel’s mind cause it’s “wrong”. Very weird, if nothing happened between the 2 of them.

Armand could have done a lot to prevent the s2 finale: he could have read Daniel’s mind to thwart his plans , altered his memories, implanted ideas in his head , etc. All things he did to Louis & Daniel in sanfran (but for some reason… he doesn’t do so to either of them in Dubai).

It’s a very peculiar change for Armand . Because we see in the 40s he often would read Louis’s mind about “Bruce” and telepathically speak to other vamps all the time . In the books he even preferred to talk telepathically. But, we never SEE him actually use the mind gift in Dubai . He’s known for his powerful mind gift - but he refuses to use it on Daniel . Something changed for Armand- the question is what ? Maybe the last time he went into someone’s mind (aka Daniel’s) it was a bit … traumatic?

And for those who thought he did read Daniel’s mind in Dubai, relating to Alice: I think he just knew about Alice because he heard about her in the past. And he just told Daniel his reasoning for saying no to turning him. (Not what Alice was actually thinking). But I digress

Making Daniel Molloy an old man was such a sexy move. They didn't need to at all, but they did and the show is 1000% hotter because of it. Yeah it's also a subversion from vampire romances typically fetishizing eternal youth, but it's also just sexy to have a 70 year old man in your queer gothic romance. Can't wait for his romance arc, I'm going to go feral.

louis “we have something special prepared for you daniel” & armand “i do hope you’ll join us”. if daniel would have just shut his trap instead of rushing to divorce city he could’ve been on broken back boulevard
