Can we talk about how in the show Lestat and Armand are framed as narrative foils. Armand and Lestat who are both so aggressively theater kids, but Lestat who acts, who draws in the attention and holds it, and Armand who directs, who shapes and manipulates the narrative. Armand and Lestat's obsession with Louis and his love and frustration with his melancholy over Lestat and Claudia respectively. Who both felt second in his heart. Who fear loneliness above all else. Lestat taking what he wants to excess - no impulse control, and Armand letting things happen to him and trying to manipulate situations to get what he wants but never taking it. Armand, who even in the end, so much more powerful, never physically imposes himself on Louis. Armand who seeks complete control in subtle insidious ways. Lestat who seeks control in the physical. Armand and Lestat brought into vampire life in horrifying ways tangled up with SA. Armand who still talks about his maker with reverence, Lestat who hates his maker. Armand who pours all of himself into his partner, willing to shape himself into what they desire but ultimately needing control to feel safe. Lestat who pours all of his love into his partner but unwilling to change himself and ultimately cedes control in moments to maintain the relationship. Armand who clings to his breaking apart relationship for 77 YEARs, Lestat who let Louis go. Lestat and Armand who watch Claudia die, but one as a father and one as a murderer. Lestat and Armand so intense in their love but Lestat so painfully external and Armand so painfully internal as characters. Both constantly acting and putting on a face. Lestat as Mozart and Armand as Salieri (in the flashback scene!). Armand who loves routine and structure and repetion, Lestat who craves change and excitement. The calling cards are echos, who learned from who. Armand teaching Lestat the vampire gifts, Lestat teaching Armand a new way to live. on and on....

“Enjoy him” was really so cunty on multiple levels because first you’ve got Louis over here bullshitting and Lestat is openly calling him on it and saying out loud that he knows Armand ain’t no prize. And then you’ve got Armand sitting there, unable to say shit because he knows it’s true and also because Lestat’s got a blow dryer aimed right at his careful house of cards. BUT ALSO… “enjoy him” has to be one of the nastiest and most vitriolic things a person with the full knowledge of Armand’s past could say to the man who /is/ actively using him in a way. Especially knowing how Armand desires the ability to love and be loved and it’s the one goddamn thing he hasn’t figured out in his CENTURIES on this earth.

Like, do you think “enjoy him” were words Lestat drew from his memories of Marius when they drank from each other??? Because…

The thing people miss when they say that Lestat acts predatory towards Louis in season 1 is that he literally is a predator (vampires are predators to humans in particular) but he is not looking at Louis as a predator chasing his victim: he wants to make Louis a predator too. And Louis, whose human job is to exploit other people to his gain, says yes when presented with the choice to be a predator too

iwtv doing the 'evil version' of popular romance tropes is so funny to me.

there's only one bed? well what about there's only one coffin because the other one got thrown off a window as a direct fuck you to the love interest?

enemies to lovers? yeah because one of them has been psychosexually tortured by the other and in retaliation ruined his marriage.

exes to lovers? sure but their separation is due to one of them murdering the other and then entering a new 77-year relationship out of spite with the guy who killed his daughter.

age gap? and it's the oldest and the youngest character but NOT in the way you think.

friends to lovers? eh probably not but you get a friend pairing and they bond over getting their memories fucked with by their shared boyfriend.

guy who hates everyone and likes only you? how about a guy who won't subject anyone to the horrors of vampirism EXCEPT you because you pissed him off THAT much?

grumpy x sunshine? how about theatre kid x guy who fucking HATES theatre kids and yet dates TWO of them?

forced proximity? try being in a 70+ year relationship with a guy you find maddeningly BORING just to spite your ex!
