Armand question: who’s Armand’s endgame? (Daniel or…?) Does he even have one?

Hi Anon!

Your question actually goes into a theory I've been starting to have, so I'm going to throw that in at the end of this answer.

So, within the first three books in the series, at least, you can say Armand's larger goal usually is, at its core, finding a companion that'll help him connect to the world.

Armand actually wanted Lestat to be his companion when they encountered each other. Lestat turned Armand down, basically with a "you and I wouldn't work out together," which more or less pissed Armand off. (And it's been antagonistic between them ever since. But don't get it twisted - if Armand could have Lestat in that way, if Lestat was at all interested, Armand would jump at the chance.)

When we meet Armand again in Interview with the Vampire, it's Louis Armand gets eyes on for a companion. Which he ends up getting for a time (a long time). By the time Louis gave his first interview, he and Armand had split up though.

Armand encounters Daniel after that first interview happened and, after a time, Daniel becomes his companion and his connection to the modern world.

Armand is basically the story's main antagonist within the first two books, only starting to not be one by the third. And my guess is the show is going to have him in a similar role here, especially for S2, since it will for sure be covering the latter half of the IWTV book at the very least. Which is when Armand goes hard in his endgame to make Louis his companion.

As in the book, I think Armand has lied to both Lestat and Louis that the other is dead. All to keep Louis with him.

Where Daniel fits into this, I can only guess. But I don't think it's a coincidence that the show has Armand's book-canon endgame companion/lover in the story here. And that Daniel clearly has missing memories about Armand, as was confirmed in that final scene.

In Queen of the Damned, when Armand had Daniel by his side, his full obsession was with Daniel. He even saw Daniel as a gift to him from Louis.

As far as the show goes, I think Armand's goal has been to keep Louis by his side. I don't think he's BS-ing about Louis wanting to kill himself. But I'm also not sure that Daniel is even going to be allowed to publish this book now, at least to the wider world, that would have Vampires coming to try and kill Louis for it. Because there was clearly a set narrative that was supposed to be told to Daniel for that book. But Daniel is way better at his job than he was back in 1973, and he was able to crack through that set narrative.

My feeling is that Daniel is for sure not leaving that tower penthouse apartment. He's as much trapped in that gilded cage as Louis is now.

And this is where my theory/speculation comes in:

Armand, in the book, would keep humans as pets. And I think we're going to see his character doing that in Season 2. Daniel himself was pretty much a pet at the start of his entanglement with Armand in the QotD book, before Armand fell in love with him.

And I think show-Daniel was that very thing at one time too. Back when he was younger. A very beloved pet - "our boy" - but a pet nonetheless.

But, unlike Armand's other human pets in the book, Daniel was never killed by him. And Armand, due to his love for Daniel, eventually turned Daniel when he was dying.

In the show, Daniel was clearly not killed or turned. I think he was let go instead, with altered memories. Because I think Daniel was with Armand and Louis for longer and more than just that failed interview night in 1973.

I think for sure that Louis and Lestat are endgame on the show. But I do not think there is going to be any sort of extended love triangle between Lestat, Louis, and Armand. Louis chose Lestat over his beloved Claudia. If in full possession of himself and knowing Lestat is alive, Louis would choose Lestat over Armand every single time. Which is why Armand even has to manipulate to have Louis with him now.

So, I'm pretty sure, at the moment, that Daniel is Armand's true endgame. Even though I don't think Daniel nor Armand know that themselves yet. (Daniel because his memories have been altered, Armand because he's still locked in with Louis.) But that is the course I think they, and the show, are headed.

WHY I WILL FIGHT GOD

WHY I WILL FIGHT GOD: OKAY • THEOLOGY: I AM GOD’S WORST DAUGHTER AND I WILL FIGHT HIM UNTIL HE LOVES ME

•IF THERE ISN’T A GOD I WILL FIGHT ISN’T-GOD UNTIL IT BECOMES GOD AND LOVES ME TOO

•THERE MAYBE ISN’T A GOD BECAUSE HAVE YOU EVER BEEN IN A CAVE AND SEEN HOW MUCH TIME IS IN THERE, AND TIME DOESN’T HAVE YOUR BEST INTERESTS AT HEART

•THERE MIGHT BE THOUGH

•PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS LIFTING THEIR HANDS UP IN CHURCH LIKE HOW BABIES DO WHEN THEY WANT YOU TO PICK THEM UP WHICH MEANS GOD NEEDS TO START PICKING AN AWFUL LOT OF PEOPLE UP AND IN MY OPINION GOD SHOULD HAVE STARTED A WHILE AGO AND SHOULD PROBABLY HURRY UP

•PEOPLE DIP THEMSELVES IN WATER JUST TO GET GOD TO PAY ATTENTION TO THEM AND I THINK GOD OUGHT TO PAY THEM AT LEAST A LOT OF ATTENTION BECAUSE THEY’RE GOING THROUGH A LOT AND THEY WENT TO ALL THE TROUBLE OF GETTING DIPPED IN WATER JUST IN CASE GOD NOTICED

•I ONCE MISTOOK THE FEELING OF SAFETY FOR THE CONDITION OF SAFETY AND I’VE WANTED SOMEONE TO BLAME EVER SINCE

•THIS WILL ALSO SERVE AS A REMINDER TO GOD THAT I DO NOT PLAN ON EXPERIENCING SUFFERING OR DEATH AND WOULD APPRECIATE THE SAME TREATMENT FOR MY LOVED ONES

•IT WOULD BE GREAT IF THIS COULD WORK FOR EVERYONE BUT IF IT ONLY PANS OUT FOR ME AND MINE THAT’S OKAY WITH ME

•I JUST “FEEL READY” TO GET IN THE MIX

•I’VE NEVER BEEN IN A FIGHT BEFORE BUT I THINK THAT MIGHT WORK TO MY ADVANTAGE BECAUSE A I DON’T HAVE ANY BAD FIGHT HABITS TO UNLEARN AND B I’VE BEEN SAVING UP ALL MY FIGHT ENERGY FOR THIS ONE

•I FEEL LIKE GOD IS GOING TO RESPECT MY SCRAPPY ENERGY AND GUMPTION EVEN IF I DON’T MAKE IT TOO FAR INTO THE FIGHT

The young james bond series is so insanely funny to me as a concept esp if we take it as Canon to the craig movies, like.

James Bond, working with SIS since age 15 qnd has been almost dying since age 13 : I think the new Q is too young.

Q would be so incensed abt it and like... does everyone else know??? That even as a teenager james bond was just terrible ar staying out trouble???

Now I'm thinking about tanner, eve and mallory and q finding out abt this and going hey 007 what the fuck is wrong with u
