Thinking about Sam and how central autonomy and violation is to his character. How many times and ways he had his choice taken away throughout the series. All the things we don’t know about his time with Lucifer, but are also so heavily implied that we do.
Imagining he eventually gets out of The Life and becomes a victim’s advocate. He ultimately decides not to try and pursue law school at this stage in his life—it’s been so long and so much has changed—but finishes his bachelor’s and pursues a master’s in social work. He never expected to end up here: the boy with the demon blood, no longer living out some doomed and twisted fate, helping people. He’s passionate about representing those made most vulnerable and unsafe in their own skin, supporting others as they come out the other side survivors, lending the compassion he’s always struggled to have for himself. Every time he listens to someone else’s story, helps connect them to resources, advocates for their case, he heals a little bit too.

Suddenly he asked if we had read A Farewell to Arms. Only some parts of it? Hurrying to his study he returned with a manuscript copy, and glowing with enthusiasm, he fumbled through the pages till he found the part he wanted. “Just listen to this,” he said. He read that passage, “—if people bring so much courage to this world the world has to kill them to break them—” He read it with emotion. When he finished he asked quietly, “Isn’t it beautiful?”
Finally I said, “Of course it’s beautiful, but - ”
“But what?” Scott asked gravely.
He waited, watching me, then he shrugged. “All right, it doesn’t impress you.” With an injured air he riffled through some more pages of the manuscript.
- F. Scott Fitzgerald is insulted when his friends aren't moved by A Farewell to Arms, recollected by Morley Callaghan in That Summer in Paris (1963)

Y'all know that feeling when you find a fanfic that's first two chapters cater just about PERFECTLY to that sudden, highly specific craving your having, all well written with a raw setting that's very emotional and everything?
..... and then you go "Oh, there's 3 more chapters... This is great! Let's see where this goes!" so you go and read those 3 chapters
.....
Then by the end of the read you're teary and snotty and dead inside and your heart is in SHAMBLES
That's me rn 🥲

Random but I have a theory of a scene that can happen down the line: when Sand finally break it off and Ray tries to get back with him (“I won’t let you walk away”), Ray is gonna become frantic and in a desperate attempt he is gonna offer Sand money again and it’s not gonna go over well. I can SO see it happen
The way I can just imagine how Sand’s face would fall is just…too painful. I guess that would reaffirm that he’s right to walk away though if Ray thinks he can be so easily bought. The money thing worked before the feelings were involved, but now it’s just an insult. Reminds me of the “You think I have no dignity?” line from the OST video. Also, the “If I’m interested, I do it for free” line from Ep2. Sand cares about money for his own survival, but real feelings go way beyond that.
Not to mention this entire scenario would just prove how much of a burden Ray feels like he is, like his wealth is the only thing he has to offer. In Ray’s mind, it would reiterate that he isn’t someone worth loving, that who he truly is isn’t good enough. Perhaps even the thought of Sand loving him is unfathomable.
I honestly can’t decide if I personally think this situation is likely to happen or not, but I do know that the mere thought is a knife to the heart. It’s demoralizing for both of them.

The Real Buick memory:
The facts? In 1985, carseats became mandatory. Daniel never owned a Buick.
The theory? I think the Buick memory derives from a real memory of Daniel's from 1986.
In my vision of things, Armand and Daniel weren't on speaking terms in 1986, but he hadn't erased his memories yet. I think this is one of those points of time during which they were broken up.
They aren't speaking because Armand didn't want to turn him the year before (the "proposal" in Paris is Armand saying "no"), coupled with the fact that Daniel's real life responsibilities were calling - he was about to be a father, and his addictions were getting worse. On top of this, Alice, his soon-to-be first wife (shotgun wedding!), wanted him to go to rehab before the baby came. She wouldn't accept him if he didn't get clean. Armand encouraged Daniel to settle down, go to rehab and raise his daughter. So they are de facto broken up in 1986, and BADLY.
In 1986, the daughter is almost two (young enough for a carseat). She is in Daniel's car (not a Buick), in the backseat. Daniel has been sober for almost a year, but he's about to relapse.
Daniel drives to his dealer to get drugs with his daughter in his car. He looks at her in the rearview mirror while he drives. Yes he's a terrible father. His daughters hate him for a reason.
He takes the daughter out of the car on one of those portable carseats (or whatever existed in the 80s). He's relapsing and he knows it. He just gave away his last 30 dollars. His daughter is sleeping in the little seat beside him. Even the dealer looks at him like he's a bit disgusted.
While he's buying the stuff, someone steals his car. It's not looking good, because it's late at night, and the area is sketchy. He's now got 0 dollars in his pocket, he's holding drugs, with no car, and on foot with his daughter to carry. Maybe kind of cold outside. Maybe not even in his city. He can't possibly call anyone. No idea what to do.
Desperate, he reaches out to Armand via mind connection, pretending like he hasn't thought about him every single day. He hasn't seen Armand in more than a year. Nevertheless he knows from experience that, even though Armand hasn't reached out, he's close. Because he always is.
Despite his better judgement, Armand does respond and pulls up in his Buick - a rich people car that a multimillionaire vampire would, in fact, have.
This is the first time that Armand sees Daniel's daughter, and the product of Armand's sacrifice.
He's got an even stronger resolve now to erase himself completely from Daniel's memories, because his sacrifice now has a face: this is who is hurting if Daniel relapses. This is who is hurting if he runs away with you. This is who is hurting if you occupy all of Daniel's focus and thoughts. This is who is hurting if you turn him.
The small child looks at Armand with huge eyes. It doesn't matter if she sees him - she won't remember him either way. Armand thinks he's going to have to do the same to the love of his life if he wants to protect them both.
He gives them a lift. They drive in silence. Daniel looks at his daughter in the backseat again. He sucks. He asks Armand where he's spending the night. It's all very pathetic and sad.
