in AMC’s INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE (2022-)
the thing that i find really compelling about armand is how he’s kind of just a black hole. the repeated image of him reading books by flipping rapidly through them and then discarding them like empty shells, the way he binge watches silent films and blade runner and videos of himself reading poetry, the idea that the beauty of his face can all of a sudden collapse like melting wax bc there’s no substance behind it, his desperate need to be loved loved loved by someone who can make him belong in the time he's in… he’s a void with teeth. this makes him sympathetic because he can be so childlike and open but it also makes him capable of like, off the charts evil AND - this is crucial - it makes him fucking weird. what doesn’t kill you for 500 years makes you obsessed with blenders. this post got away from me
armand causing that bite scar on daniel’s neck and not healing it because even though he couldn’t turn him he was gonna mark daniel as his one way or another
