Funtheysaid - Cut My Roots, And Now My Leaves Are Dead

I think other fandoms are so used to their ships being explicitly monogamous and honestly pretty puritanical bc of long-standing cultural brainwashing. There’s an untrue and unrealistic sentiment perpetuated by most media that a person may only ever have one true love and that any other proceeding love they might feel for someone after meeting their “true love” cannot and should not be a love of the same intensity as their first - otherwise it would diminish or degrade the prior relationship.

“Firsts” are given so much credence and virtue in Western society, and any character who does not honor that belief is oftentimes meant to be seen as a harlot or as someone undeserving of love (bc look they can’t even respect the very foundation of it - lol as if Love is some deity you have to appease)

Iwtv skirts this trope simply because Anne Rice is/was ahead of her time, but also bc the characters are very much NOT human. In the eyes of many, these vampires don’t have to follow any sort of morality or ingrained code of conduct (again, equating goodness with traditionalism).

Anyway, let them eat more than one person out, i say

As someone who ships Devil's Minion, Loustat, Loumand, Lesmand, Armianca, and basically all The Vampire Chronicles ships except disgusting ones like Armand/Marius, I really do not understand the ship wars in this fandom. 🤷‍♀️

mmkay so the episodes keep getting better and better and I’m honestly scared for my sanity and blood pressure atp HOW TF AM I SUPPOSED TO MAKE IT TO 2x08?

That’s it. That’s the show.

Assad saying what makes Louis different from Armand’s previous lovers is a. his humanity and b. his thirst for knowledge…. I’m not trying to take away from the Loumand of it all bc I’m obsessed w whatever they have going on as well but oh it’s so interesting to know those are things Armand is drawn to, isn’t it
