(Mey-Rin and Bard are sitting at the kitchen table; Sebastian enters)
Sebastian: What’s that book you’re reading, Bard?
Baldroy: ‘The ABC of Sex’.
Sebastian: Well, surely could keep stuff like this for when you’re on your break.
Baldroy: Aye, I know, right? The A, B, and C. Three whole positions. The more ya know, huh?
Sebastian: (sighs)
Mey-Rin: Finny’s starting to ask about sex, yes he is. Me and Bard just wanna be prepared.
Grelle: (entering) What are we talking about?
Sebastian: (turns back to preparing the food, behind them) Bard’s reading pornography.
Grelle: Ooh, let’s see, then!
Baldroy: Am not!
Sebastian: Are too.
Baldroy: Am not!
Mey-Rin: Stop it! We’re learning about sex so that we can tell Finny what’s what, yes we are.
Grelle: Oh, don’t worry about THAT. I can tell him all he needs to know.
Baldroy: Ah, thanks, Miss Grelle. We really appreciate it, don’t we, Mey?
Sebastian: I don’t understand why the two of you require a book to discuss such things - back in my day, we didn’t have a book. Well, apart from the Karma Sutra, maybe.
Grelle: Me neither.
Baldroy: Well, it’s all changed since your two’s day, I’ll tell ya that for nothin’. Why, I remember when me ’n’ my missus back in America-
Grelle: Yes, yes. Long lost families, and all that dribble. But, surely, nothing’s changed THAT much.
Sebastian: I can assure you, some of the men of today will still take you out and expect you to perform fellatio. No man worth his salt, mind you, but-
Grelle: ...Fellatio? Really, me? Sing opera?
(...)
Grelle: He’d have better chance at asking for a blowjob.

Wednesday: I want to make a good first impression so I printed off some flash cards to prepare for dinner with your family. Can you go through them with me before we leave?
Enid: Sure! *reading card* I introduce you to my mom, what do you say?
Wednesday, making an awkward attempt at being flirty: Is she single? *winks*
Enid: Oh my god Wednesday! Please, for the love of god, don’t ever do that. The answer is ‘good evening and how are you doing’
Wednesday: Good evening and how are you doing. Got it. Next one.
Enid: My dad asks how your studies are going, what is your reply?
Wednesday: Easy. Last semester I studied the habits of a monster who was murdering people in the woods. I successfully learned of the identity of both the monster and the sociopathic teacher who was controlling him in a crazed attempt to murder every outcast attending Nevermore. This lead me to be captured, stabbed and almost killed before your daughter was forced to risk her life to save me, fighting a Hyde twice her size while I ran off to fight an undead pilgrim with a sword.
Enid: Baby no. The card says ‘I’m a straight A student at the top of my class’
Wednesday: Damn, I was close on that one.
Enid: No you weren’t. But okay, moving on. You sit down at the dinner table and my brother brings up sports, how do you engage him in conversation?
Wednesday: I know this one *clears throat* I am so bummed I couldn’t catch the game last night, I was arrested after new evidence surfaced in the murder case I’m a suspect in.
Enid: Is that why you were so late back to the dorms last night!?!
Wednesday: No. I fell asleep in the morgue fridges again, I told you that. I’m just saying what’s on the card.
Enid: Wednesday, that is not what it says.
Wednesday: I feel like I’m being gaslit right now.
Enid: You wrote the cards!
Wednesday: That sounds like gaslighting.
Enid: Whatever. Let’s keep going, I doubt this could get any worse. My mom’s cooking red meat for dinner, what do you bring to drink?
Wednesday: Espresso martini’s.
Enid: That’s weird, unnecessarily complicated and illegal for our age. But it’s the most normal response you’ve had since we started so I’ll allow it.
Wednesday: Made exactly as my mother does, with one glass spiked with cyanide. We Addams’ believe that a formal dinner without any deaths is a dull affair.
Enid: *considering faking her own death to get out of this dinner* I’m just gonna finish these as quickly as I can. My mom asks you what your favourite book is, please say something normal.
Wednesday: Frankenstein. I greatly admire Mary Shelly and hope to beat her record and have my first novel published before I’m 19. And once the time comes I plan to pay my respects to her genius as I temporarily emulate her morbid nature by making love to your daughter for the first time upon one of our mothers graves. Enid’s never been a patient woman so I presume it’ll be whoever drops first.
Enid: …just ‘Frankenstein’ is fine baby. And we’re not doing that. My dad asks about your hobbies, how about you pick something that won’t make my family question my sanity for choosing to date you.
Wednesday: Murder, serial killers, grave digging, exorcisms, murder mysteries, creepy abandoned buildings, waking the dead, killing the undead, centuries old mental asylums, making out with your daughter, reading and working on my novel.
Enid: Scratch out the first ten and we have a winner.
Wednesday: Your censoring of my personality is making me sound very boring Enid.
Enid: Parents like boring sweetheart and you love lying. You’ll have to time of your life pretending to be normal, I promise. Okay, last one. My mom begins— seriously?
Wednesday: We don’t have all night Enid.
Enid: *rolls her eyes* my mom begins clutching her throat, choking and foaming at the mouth, she has been poisoned for being mean to Enid, how do you react?
Wednesday, casually leaning on her desk: I’ll have what she’s having am I right? *slips an empty vial into her pocket* I don’t know who I should frame yet, I’m thinking I’ll know in the moment.
Enid:
Enid: You’re lucky I love you.

I use TVA/B&G to backwards engineer The Devil's Minion a lot, not only as a rare and detailed insight into how human/vampire relationships tend to go in this series, but also just how many things they had in common, all the parallels, all the ways you can ask if Armand was working through his Maker Issues, and of course the final excuse that their hand is forced because the human is dying. But I think often about how much Marius struggled with it, and although he caved in the end, he changed his mind sometimes, he knew he was a monster, and it's always going to be the struggle of whether you love someone enough to let them go or if you love them too much to let them go, do you curse them with darkness or do you keep them so that you aren't alone in your own darkness, etc.
But I've wondered a lot how that journey went for Armand, how often he maybe changed his mind, if he felt tempted but then reminded himself he's a monster and shouldn't, and I'm absolutely haunted by their final separation before the concert. Lestat's book comes out, Daniel is wandering, Armand can't find him (or is avoiding him?) and there's just so much here, and how much of their relationship was violated by reading Lestat's book independently before speaking to each other, how much Daniel would've learned without Armand's consent or before he was ready, and how much Armand's abandonment issues would've been ripped the fuck open by reading about Marius and what he had to say.
"Whatever will happen will happen, but choose your companions
with care. Choose them because you like to look at them and you like the sound of their voices, and they have profound secrets in them that you wish to know. In other words, choose them because you love them. Otherwise you will not be able to bear their company for very long."
"I understand, " I said. "Make them in love. "
"Exactly, make them in love. And make certain they have had some lifetime before you make them; and never never make one as young as Armand. That is the worst crime I have ever committed against my own kind, the taking of the young boy child Armand. "
"But you didn't know the Children of Darkness would come when
they did, and separate him from you. "
"No. But still, I should have waited. It was loneliness that drove me
to it. And Armand's helplessness, that his mortal life was so
completely in my hands. Remember, beware of that power, and the power you have over those who are dying. Loneliness in us, and that sense of power, can be as strong as the thirst for blood. If there were not an Enkil there might be no Akasha, and if there were not an Akasha, then there would be no Enkil. "
It's just wow like.
Sincere advice that he never got to receive? In the same sentence as hearing he's a mistake? Does he read this and think he should make Daniel out of love, and at the same time feel all the more monstrous, and want to resist?
The choice is taken from him anyway, and he's forced, just as his own turning was forced. And as @nightislandnoveltymug pointed out recently, he treats it like a funeral.

Nikolai trowing a halloween party where the theme is "Disney villains" and the price for best costume involves kruge
Nikolai went as captain hook. As the judge he wanted to vote for himself but also will make sure he deserves it
Genya and David were the evil queen and the magic mirror. Genya will say "magic mirror on the wall" and David would say "you are" before she could finish the question everytime"
Nina, instead of having a pair costume with Matthias, Hanne or both, teamed up with Inej and went and Ursula and Vanessa. Inej is not sligthly bothered that she was to be with Nina the whole time in order for her costume to work
Hanne was Prince Hans, Nikolai was glad he ruled out that idea for himself
Jesper and Wylan made the day of Gaston x Lefou shippers. Also when Nikolai said Jesper was "too skinny for Gaston" Wylan argued he had the perfect baritone voice and both sang the Gaston theme just to prove their point
Kaz was completely focussed on getting the price for the kruge. So, for his Hades costume,instead of just dying his hair blue or getting a wig like a normal human being, he light on real blue flames on his head (over a liquid that would stop it from burning his skin) because he is THAT extra and dramatic.
Nadia and Tamar went as Yzma and Kronk. They wanted to go bigger so they convinced Leoni and Adrik (who did it very reclutantly) to be Kronk´s shoulder angel and devil (hey, it was better than the original idea when Nadia and he were Cinderella´s stepsisters)
Alina and Mal were almost disqualified for coming as Peter Pan and Tinkerbell instead of "villains" but they put the case that Tinkerbell tried to get a child killed out of jelaousy and Peter Pan kidnapped children himself and if those are not villains then what ist is?, so not only they got back into the competition, they also made a lot of people question their childhood.
Zoya was sure her Maleficent costume was going to make her the winner, isn't she the dragon queen after all?
Most people tought Tolya came as a raven in order to be Zoya´s companion, but he actually didn't got the theme memo and just wanted to be "The raven" from Edgar Allan Poe
Kuwei was actually close to winning, who would be as cruel and hated as Cruella de Vil?
Matthias actually won by coming as the hunter who killed Bambi´s mom, his price was worth all of the children that cried when they saw him. ("Is not a real deer head!" "it´s from a plushie and i will sew it later") Kaz was not happy at all because how the heck didn't ocurred to him?

Yang: Yes, Blake?
Blake: Love of my life and fire that illuminates my darkness?
Yang: What do you want? If not want, what do you need?
