#rice’s gremlins

[duriens]

everybody's eager to watch Armand through Lestat's eyes in s3 anticipating how monstrous he'll be and how he'll get the full gremlin treatment, and to an extent, yeah, sure, same. but I feel some of us are forgetting how miserable, angry, hurt, and lost Armand appears in Lestat's eyes also. how his pursue of Lestat can't be downsized to just how annoying his fixation is, or how ridiculous, when the line "you've been the slave of everyone who claimed you" actually exists and it is Lestat who says it to Armand, and not in an hateful or spiteful way but in an honest and not unkindly way, because one of the best things Lestat did was refusing to be one of Armand's masters also for Armand's own sake. it's kind of appalling to me that some fans who even read the books can't seem to be able to scratch the surface of Armand's essence and see the tragic truth of what he is and why, when literally Lestat de Lioncourt managed it. (and also the show did tell us, again)

all this to say I hope the screenwriters recognize this about Lestat, though they did alter his character a bit, and don't fall into the trap of oversimplifying Armand's character just to show us a petty, funny, 'cunty' Lestat. cause Lestat might be a lil bit dumb and all, but he never was needlessly cruel or blind to Armand's whole deal.

just a reminder: dreamstat isn't the real Lestat. the stuff he says about Armand come from Louis. the fact Sam Reid insisted so much on telling us "dreamstat isn't real Lestat" keeps my hopes up in regards to how he'll tell his truth in s3.

Here, my favorite LU characters <3

(Time... I just realized i forgor his scar and markings... fuk it)

And here, young Hyrule.

His age is more a hc I have than a certain thing, maybe he was younger, maybe older, 15 sounded just fine.

do you watch iwtv?? :00

Interview With The Vampire? No, we don't - or not yet, anyway. If our partner system seems interested, we'll see if we can track it down. (Especially since Ann Rice is dead now lmao)

what shampoo, conditioner, cologne/perfume and deodorant do they use?

headcanon questions // PLEASE ASK AWAY

maurice special orders his shampoo, conditioner, and cologne from sephora. his deodorant is some off brand from Walmart that he loves the smell of and it doesn't make him feel sick from smelling it all night.

I love that Armand is like let's just kill them in regards to the replimoids for the entire book. My dude, that is your solution for everything.

Chronic pain culture is when you and your mother, also chronically ill, realize that you can sew heating pads in whatever size you need and then going wild making tons of them
