“It’s Only a Paper Moon” is THE Loumand song.
While the song originally came out in 1933, it didn’t become popular until after WWII, when singers like Ella Fitzgerald, Nat King Cole, and Frank Sinatra began releasing famous covers of it (so around the time Louis and Armand first got together). The song is featured in Tennessee Williams’ A Streetcar Named Desire, which is one of the most famous and beloved pieces of media set in New Orleans (as someone who currently lives in NoLa, I swear people here freaking LOVE this play). The scene in Streetcar that features this song is the scene where it’s revealed that the main character, Blanche, has been lying to and manipulating her loved ones. And the song itself? It sounds like a very cliché and cheesy love song, but if you listen to the lyrics, it’s about someone trying to convince their lover to stay in a world— and, by extension, in a relationship— that is, at it’s core, fake and an illusion.
Again, it is literally THE Loumand song and no one can convince me otherwise.

hey iwtv fandom, hey take my hand, look me in the eyes right now; the strike will push back filming season 2, the writers strike maybe should have paused it anyways but now fr fr things are gonna be pushed back, and we’re all gonna be chill about it, okay?
you have a complaint, it goes to AMC execs, not to any actors or writers online

armand and louis are like that couple that have a baby to save their marriage but instead of having a baby they emotionally torture an old man that they both kind of want to fuck

I love it when people overcompensate. It shows how very hard they’re trying to convince you of their bullshit. Thanks, best friend Daniel, for never letting me down.
