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. 🤷‍♀️

trying to gather my thoughts here, but i am OBSESSED with the way armand switches back and forth between vulnerable and threatening in this episode. his vulnerability isn't entirely calculated—he is genuinely insecure and desperate for love. however, he also uses that fragile image of himself to bend situations to his will. he definitely manipulates louis with it, but louis also kind of plays him in return: by adopting a more lestat-like role (jacob's words), he leverages armand's need for his love and acceptance to get things to go his way. i just love love love how they switch between who takes on the dominant role and the submissive role in their dynamic. i think louis feels he wields more power in his relationship with armand than he did with lestat because armand is "servile" to him, but armand is still pulling the strings in ways louis doesn't always realize or want to see. and i fall for that shit too btw, one moment i'm feeling bad for armand with his sad tender bambi eyes, a traumatized lonely being forever doomed to be a rebound, but then the next moment, he switches to threatening claudia as if it's nothing like.... everyone is just the worst lol. how dare you mr spears you had me fooled and you too mrs spears
