ASSAD ZAMAN as Armand (Rashid)
INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE (2022 -) | Season 1
Again I laughed. I laughed and laughed. I remembered the wolves and I laughed.
“You always make me laugh,” I told him. “I would have laughed at you under that cemetery in Paris, except it didn’t seem the kind thing to do. And even when you cursed me and blamed me for all the stories about us, that was funny too. If you hadn’t been about to throw me off the tower I would have laughed. You always make me laugh.”
The Vampire Lestat (Anne Rice) - 1985
I rose from the table, my hands quivering. “Lestat, give me this one embrace and I’ll never ask another thing of you for all eternity. Let me put my lips to your throat, Lestat, let me test the tale, let me do it!”
“You break my heart, you little fool,” he said with tears welling. “You always did.”
The Vampire Armand (Anne Rice) - 1998

louis is dickmatized this louis is dickmatized that armand is dickmatized to the point that he gets called the embodiment of thirst by lestat. lestat. for half a millennium armand periodically gets into lestat’s face and is like you destroyed my cult you made me a laughing stock to my own henchmen you robbed me of my life’s purpose you found my maker and had him tell you all the secrets of our kind that he refused to tell me but you know what would fix me. your dick. and then lestat will say something like i literally just beat the shit out of you or i just survived attempted patricide and am a raving skeleton dressed in rags and armand just puts his fingers to lestat’s lips and is like shh shh it literally makes me want you more. and lestat realizes once again that this guy is batshit insane and reflexively thrusts out an arm and pushes him off a roof. and armand skulks around lestat’s resting place like a starved raccoon. and then a couple decades later lestat will stumble partially blind out of a new adventure and squint at armand like jesus fucking christ please don’t tell me you still love me and armand goes i’m ready to steal an eyeball for you king
Armand’s “Burn Book” Chapter Insults (TVA, Part 2, Chapter 16)
auberginejeans:
Lestat
- “Had thrown over custom and
respectability and any hope of court ambitions, of which he had none anyway since he
couldn’t even read or write, and was too insulting to wait on any King or Queen, who
became a wild blond-haired celebrity of the boulevard gutter theatricals, a lover of
men and women, a laughing happy-go-lucky blindly ambitious self-loving genius of
sorts.”
- “[Louis’] cocky insolent maker”
- “Comprising everything you could ever possibly want to know about him
and some of us.”
- “The most bold and disregarding dusty vagabond
on occasion, loner, wanderer, heart-breaker and wise guy, dubbed the “Brat Prince”
by my old Master-yes, imagine it, my Marius, yes, my Marius, who did indeed
survive the torches of the Roman Coven-dubbed by Marius the “Brat Prince,” though
in whose Court and by whose Divine Right and whose Royal Blood I should like to
know.”
- “Almost destroyed the world.”
- “Maddening and fascinating and intolerably annoying,”
- “So much for him.”
Louis
- “He remained with me because he had to do it. It was the only way that he could go on
existing, and for death he has never had the courage, and never will.”
- “Very human,
weak, having lived only two hundred years, unable to read minds, or to levitate, or to
spellbind others except inadvertently, which can be hilarious, an immortal with whom
mortals fall in love.”
-
“Easy to
track and easy to abandon,”
- “Will not make others after his tragic blunders
with vampiric children,”
- “Dusty Louis”
Claudia
- “Who among us is going to let me be silent on the
matter of Claudia, the child vampire whom I am accused for all time by all of having
destroyed?”
- “I never loved her. I didn’t know how.”
Daniel
- “Sometimes an intolerable nuisance,”
- “Equipped with my powerful blood, he can contend with
any who should be foolish enough to interrupt his plans for an evening, a month or a
year, but he cannot contend with my continuous company, and I cannot contend with
his.”
Gabrielle
- “Gabrielle. She’s around now.”
- “Everyone hates her.”
- “Abandons [Lestat] for centuries, and somehow doesn’t
manage to heed Lestat’s periodic and inevitable frantic cries for help, which though
she could not receive them, being his fledgling, could certainly learn of them from
other vampiric minds which are on fire with the news round the world when Lestat is
in trouble.”
- “A vampire so cunning and cold that she has forgotten what it ever meant
to be human or in pain. Indeed, I think she forgot overnight, if she ever knew it.”
- “Something more akin
to a prehistoric reptile than a human.”
- “Gabrielle, virtually useless to anyone but herself. Some night
she’ll say something to someone, I suppose.”
Pandora
- “I don’t know her.”
- “Seems
too beautiful to hurt anyone.”
- “She seems harmless.”
Santino
- “Silent and without apology for the credos
he had stuffed down my throat in the year 1500 before I was sent north to Paris.”
- “He says nothing to anyone.”
-
“He looks at me silently
as if we never talked together of theology and mysticism, as if he never broke my
happiness, burnt my youth to cinders, drove my Maker into century-long
convalescence, divided me from all comfort.”
- “At times he looks shrewd and even hateful.”
- “Where he actually lives, and when he will surface,
nobody knows.”
- “We keep a gentlemanly distance from
one another.”
Marius
- “It is like a glacier between us,”
- “Neither microscopes nor
computers shake his faith in the infinite, though his once solemn charges-Those Who
Must Be Kept, who held such promise of redemptive meaning-have long been toppled
from their archaic thrones.”
- “Enough of him.”
David
- “Assaulted by
your closest of friends, the loving monster, the vampire who would have you as his
fellow traveler in eternity whether or not you gave him leave,”
- “You dress with high
vanity”
- “You look at me as though your
curiosity will put me off guard, when nothing of the sort is true.”
- “Hurt me and I’ll destroy you. I don’t care how strong you are, or what blood Lestat
gave you. I know more than you do.”
- “Because I show you my pain, I do not of
necessity love you.”
TLDR: What Armand thinks of everyone
- Lestat: Dumb asshole that nearly killed everyone.
- Louis: Weak and can’t do anything, bless his heart.
- Claudia: No one will shut up about how I killed Claudia. Yeah, I mutilated her, but she needed to go.
- Daniel: I can’t stand him anymore.
- Gabrielle: Useless cold-hearted reptile bitch that everyone hates.
- Pandora: Seems pretty chill and harmless?
- Santino: Destroyed my entire life and acts as if nothing ever happened. Rude.
- Marius: Acts so perfect, actually isn’t.
- David: I will not hesitate to fucking annihilate you cause you’re nothing compared to me.
Now tell me Armand isn’t the saltiest vampire out of the coven….
And after all this time,
I wash my hands of your charade
And celebrate your fall from grace
Preserve that sad look on your face
And praise what God might manifest
Himself to beings such as us
For vengeance, that at last is mine
Come sweetly after all this time

The thing about Armand and Lestat is Lestat, world’s biggest slut Lestat, rejects Armand. This is because Lestat always has to be the craziest and most dramatic bitch in the room, and Armand is batshit insane. Like, imagine having enough red flags to scare off Lestat. Meanwhile Louis, conisour of only the craziest dick, spots him and starts drawing hearts in his notebook
