I Need To Think About AMC Armand For A Minute. About His Passivity. I Find It Frustrating As A Viewer,

i need to think about AMC Armand for a minute. About his passivity. I find it frustrating as a viewer, but I’m also deeply compelled by it. His most infuriating trait is what makes him so interesting. When he says “I could not prevent it,” I don’t think that he sees that as a lie. It’s not the truth, but I think he believes it. He’s so powerful and could at so many points take agency in the narrative, yet he chooses inaction. He lets Lestat destroy the cult, lets the Paris coven hold the trial, lets Louis kill them after, lets Daniel uncover the truth. He accepts whatever happens to him and makes it his life regardless of whether or not it’s what he wanted.

Claudia is a foil to this nature. She’s not the most powerful, but she always takes an active role in her own story. She makes her own choices even when they put her at risk. It’s why I don’t think the two of them ever could have gotten along; their natures are inherently opposed to one another. Even their similarities drive them apart—they both hate the reflections of themselves that they see in one another because of how their mirror reacts to trauma.

Reading Anne Rice seems to be a constant cycle of: This is one of the best things I've ever read. This is one of the worst things I've ever read. I'm bored. I don't want to do anything else but read these books. Whatever. This is problematic and offends every minority that exists. Educate yourself. Get a job, stay way from that character! You're weird. You're a creep even by this genre standards. You're annoying. You should die. This is so unnecessary. Why, just why? Stop repeating yourself, you have said that same thing 954869048 times now. Get to the point! This is so exaggeratedly descriptive. This is so wonderfully descriptive. I can see it so vividly in my head and love it! It feels like I'm experiencing it myself and not in a good way, make it stop! Laughs. Cries. Chills. Depression! Autism! BPD! ADHD! Dyslexia! Everyone gets a DSM condition! And some that aren't even discovered yet! And they're all amplified by vampirism! Nobody gets medication or therapy, though! The Catholicism and Catholic guilt are heavy on those people. The existential crisis is real. Whoa there, great discussion. I can relate. I hate this POV. You're my favorite character. You're my favorite ship. These two should kiss. Okay, I get it, Armand is the most beautiful creature that has ever existed. This is poetry. Those two should NOT kiss. This is so creative and imaginative, I love it. You're contradicting yourself. Nevermind, it makes sense. I take it back, I like this character now? Okay, you're just making random stuff happen without any explanation at this point? I don't even know who is who or what's happening anymore. Reads page again. Are you okay? Please, do therapy, you certainly have a lot of things you need to work on. What the hell is wrong with you? Your brain is so... something. Added stuff because I had more thoughts lol.

the potentially lethal levels of emotional damage that could be inflicted upon a person if daniel and louis decided to team up and verbally tear into them together. daniel just loves feeling superior and kicking someone while they're already down and louis always figures out exactly where to dig in when he wants to make someone feel like shit

Some things I think about a lot:

Bill saying if Arthur’s hair grows any longer he'll have to put a dress on him

Bill being tied up in that way when Arthur saves him from bounty hunters

Lenny getting praised by Bill

Karen saying Arthur is more kissable without the beard

One of the girls (I THINK IT'S SADIE) suggesting Arthur wear pig tails when his hair is long

Micah making himself crack up calling Arthur Santa Claus

Javier sitting there while Bill gushes about how scary he was that one time

All of Hosea and Dutch's camp interactions

Abigail telling Molly that she understands ("Unfortunately, I do")

John rejecting Jack wanting to play, and in chp 6 actively playing with him

Pearson's interaction with Mary-Beth

Tilly and Mary-Beth's friendship

Trelawny

When Dutch and Grimshaw dance

Karen "I'll scratch your eyes out before my coffee" Jones and Charles just accepting that

a writing competition i was going to participate in again this year has announced that they now allow AI generated content to be submitted

their reasoning being that "we couldn't ban it even if we wanted to, every writer already uses it anyway"

"Every writer"?

people who don't experience hyperfixation don't know what it feels like to hyperfixate so much on something that it becomes not only your subject of obsession but also your source of happiness and literally the main reason why you still keep going; literal source of strength and life.
