we don’t give little Andrei enough credit for being the most bad ass mf to ever live. His father is actively beating him and verbally abusing him and this stone cold killer is unphased pulling out his crazy comebacks no hesitation
Seeing Andrei be a little asshole makes me sad weirdly enough. he was just such a character. not only was he an extremely skilled hunter and miracle working painter + child genius but he was witty and a bit of a big mouthed dick and strong willed and full of life. Like he could’ve been so much and any chance of a life was robbed from him from the start
One of the things I am most excited to find out in Interview with the Vampire season 2 is if the Devil's Minion era already happened. We know Daniel and Armand met, but did they have their love affair already? Or did Armand just save his life, erase his memory, and run off with Louis? If it's the latter, does that mean we're going to get the Devil's Minion era now? After the interview ends, is Louis going to go find Lestat and then Armand is going to chase that old man around the world? I can't wait to find out!
A moment where he doesn’t look so cherubic huh? Where he looks like he could actually fuckin KILL someone right? and if you dont immediately recognize it i want you to guess what he’s showing Daniel in this scene
The important thing to understand about Armand’s autism is that his unnatural way of behaving, the coldness and the blank expression, are the mask. Armand is not someone who is naturally numb and inexpressive, he arguably tends to be more hysterical than Lestat! When Armand is unmasked he’s over emotive and struggles a ton with emotional regulation, and his way of masking that is to restrain his reactions and appear distant and unaffected. Armand is not the type of autistic person who is monotone bcus of his autism, he’s the complete opposite! The other end of the spectrum. His emotional reactions are so off putting and extreme that he masks by stifling them. Armand in his natural state screams and sobs like he’s being killed, tears at his hair when he’s unhappy, frowns so intensely that he “looks horrific” when angry, laughs uproariously like a child, etc. I get the vibe that many Armand Autism Truthers see him as someone who makes minimal effort to appear socially acceptable/mask and operates in his comfortable, natural state of flatness + strangeness, but this doesn’t seem to be the case to me!! Armand is like a tiny compacted ball of Big Feelings that is being weakly constrained with wide blank eyes, an unreadable frown, and dissociation.
