Iwtv S2 - Tumblr Posts

hitting the fuckin Daniel pose after all that. i'm supposed to just move on with my week now??

WAIT WAIT OKAY- Armand saying "Rest" and having Daniel repeat it before biting him, is insanely similar to Santiago's "No pain" with his victims before they 'accept' death.

so...uh...is Rolin Jones gonna pay for my therapy now or what??

holding onto my silly little Claudia drawings for dear life

Louis swimming the mississippi for Lestat and then going to see Lestat in a hurricane. yep. yep. i'm being normal about this.

i have thoughts about tonight's episode

-- it would be enough.

so happy to see the menace back. i will paint him 1000x times

Quick drawing of Santiago/Armand's attack dog pour me défouler

no i don't like windows when they're closed

This episode is gonna be on my mind 🥲

i stand with my cancelled wife

so we all agree that lestat's best look is the trial ep

TBH

I find so funny when I'm scrolling on these hashtags and then find some post with a hashtag like "I don't endorse abuse" of smt like that bc you'd think, with a media like IWTV, that'd be a given

We obviously don't like these characters because they are sane babygirl

Okay, lemme be honest: I'd probably Joker myself up as well if Louis de Pont du Lac of all people called me as boring as a beige pillow

Armand wants Louis to be interested in him but every interesting thing he does also qualifies as torture so it has to be erased from Louis’ mind. And Louis might be kinda into that but Armand can’t risk him suddenly developing self respect and leaving him. So tragic

As I previously stated somewhere on this site, I would 100% go full-on Joaquin Phoenix's Joker if the love of my life called me as boring as a beige pillow

The thing about Armand to me is that he strips us of any preconceived or prejudiced notion of what it means to be a manipulator or a narcissist. Most people who'll emotionally abuse you in your life won't be this evil character who is out to get you, they'll be people who actually feel and experience the emotions and feelings they manipulate you with.

To them, the reality of those feelings is there, raw and feeling like an exposed wire. That's why it's so hard to get out of toxic and/or abusive relationships — because you learn the way your abuser see and experience the world and it makes sense to you, even if it doesn't on a rational level. You get it. You empathize with it. And it becomes so much harder to leave.

So yes, Armand is this abused, traumatized man who regrets things and is so desperate to be loved he'll do anything to have it. But he also will do anything to have it.

It's why forgiveness is earned, not deserved. If forgiveness was about deserving, the whole world would be made of saints.

Being an adult while watching iwtv means that you really can't pick a character to hate on because of nuance - and they're all equally horrible lovable hateable complex beings, can't even be mad at armand because he's not some evil mastermind manipulator, while at the same time he is, but he has the cadence of doing all of that while being a shivering, quivering scared chihuahua and that's what makes it worse because 'evil' is not some big tough infallible guy. It's a 17 year old guy with glowing orange eyes with enough anxieties in him to melt a planet and he's always plotting in such a loser yet scaryy way. You get me ?

This makes me feel kinda cruel, BUT...

I have kinda of a love/hate relationship with IWTV because at the same time I'm invested af in this story, I really think these guys have no business being this manipulable and/or pathetic ally in love at +100yo

And I get that's kinda cruel but honestly, are you even worthy immortality if you're gonna be manipulated by someone one third your age after living all this time? I'd kms from the embarrassment alone (and yes I'm throwing shade)

And this is kinda why Armand is my favorite vampire in the tv show, I guess?? No one be manipulating more than my cancelled wife and that's what a respectable 400yo vampire should strive to be tbh

YOU WANNA TELL THAT I'M WRONG?!?!

I need Daniel's professional life's hack

The only thing I needed to be successful in my life was Louis de Pointe Du Lac hypnotizing me to believe in myself yk...

their first moment in the show together. i just love how claudia looks at her.

im so obsessed with claudia and madeleine. i love them and episode 7 didn’t happen, okay?

(also i will be posting a bunch of screenshots from their scenes and just claudia stuff in general, cause she’s my favorite)
