The idea that Lestat would ever be this bored & disinterested in the merits of art, especially when his Nicolas is playing violin is frankly the most disrespectful part of Armand’s wee fairytale of all…

Armand had a trauma response because Louis exploited his past as a child sex worker to get control and dominance. It’s not okay just because Louis is black! Armand without question putting the umbrella up that Louis could easily put up himself, was because it’s been literally beaten into Armand to obey!

Did you see the remark that Lestat did abandon Nicki and that Armand made Lestat look better? I swear the reading comprehension...
"Vile liar!" he said between his teeth. "You are God's fool, that's what you are. You who possessed the dark secret that soared above everything, rendered everything meaningless, and what did you do with it, in those months when you ruled alone from Magnus's tower, but try to live like a good man! A good man!"
He was close enough to kiss me, the blood of his spittle hitting my face.
"Patron of the arts," he sneered. "Giver of gifts to your family, giver of gifts to us!" He stepped back, looking down on me contemptuously.

"I want the theater," Nicolas said to me. "I want it from you. The deed, the money to reopen it. My assistants here are ready to listen to me."
"You may have it, if you wish," I answered. "It is yours if it will take you and your malice and your fractured reason off my hands."
[...]
"I despise you," he said. "But I am done with you. I have the power from you and I know how to use it, which you do not. I am in a realm at last where I choose to triumph! In darkness, we're equal now. And you will give me the theater, that because you owe it to me, and you are a giver of things, aren't you -- a giver of gold coins to hungry children -- and then I won't ever look upon your light again." TVL
And even after this Lestat goes to find Armand to protect Nicki!
But sure Lestat abandoned Nicki...
... what?
I mean I did not see it, but ... why do people think Armand felt he needed to kidnap Nicki?? Like, why did he keep him alive and not just kill him as a snack if he meant that little?
Yeah, I'm sure this 2k rundown fanfic covered all of the story...
