Medicinal Purposes Of The Pale

Sometimes I see folks online being like "devil's minion shippers need to realize the show isn't about Armand its about Lestat" and, technically they’re right, but ALSO respectfully, I can make anything about Armand. Music, books he's not in, art at a museum, food I eat. I can certainly make a show he's a major character in all about Armand. Skill issue if you can't.

I’m a strong believer in Armand turned Daniel because he couldn’t stand Daniel hating him.

imagine being real rashid and you work for these weird gay vampires and one day they come to you like hey rashid we're gonna give you a little holiday! armand will take over your duties for the time being, for a cool disguise during my interview, not a kink thing :) and you're like okay these are my weird gay vampire bosses so it probably is a kink thing but who am i to judge. and then you find out they are roleplaying this weird exhibitionist slash master/servant scene with your own real actual government name. fuck interview with the vampire, interview with rashid WHEN??

can't stop thinking about rashid constantly having to rearrange the furniture in the dubai penthouse depending on loumand's stage of marriage of the day

I need to see the “your wife counting down your thrusts” scene in s3. Daniel has a flashback of him and Alice fucking and he thinks that she’s the one who’s looking at him bored and probably counting in her head but then it switches to Armand just sitting there bored out of his mind while he counts Daniel’s thrusts out loud: “1,2,3… come on boy is that the best you can do? Fuck me harder, faster.” And Daniel is shaking, sweating, crying out of pure humiliation. He wants to satisfy Armand but Armand is cold towards him, making fun of him and continues to count Daniel’s thrusts until they finish finding enjoyment in Daniel’s suffering.

At a point Armand considers to flip Daniel and ride him so they can finish faster but he wants to see how long Daniel can last.

So I recently bought the RDR2 Original Score Soundtrack, and something that really stood out to me is the art inside of it;

The art for the original soundtrack and the original score are telling an interesting story: the original soundtrack shows us Arthur on the cover itself, and in the inside of the vinyl, are the gang in their prime riding together - all of the iconic imagery we're used to see during the game.

However, the art of the original score is almost exclusively Micah related: the cover is a clear contrast to the original soundtrack (black and white vs. colour, villain vs. hero), but what I personally find most interesting is the art inside of the vinyl:

From what I've seen, the internet seems to be in disagreement over who Micah might be shooting; while it makes sense it is Arthur given the story of the game, seeing him in a pitiful position feels out of character.

To me, this art looks like Arthur's portrayal from Micah's eyes; there are 6 graves, possibly to represent past gang members who died during the game? (aka Sean, Kieran Lenny, Hosea, Molly, and Grimshaw).

Micah was not responsible for all of them, but it was his mission to try and get cut as many gang members as he could "loose."

There's also 7th grave being dug (represented by the shovel), presumably prepared for Arthur, given their relationship and his ending.

After Guarma Micah sees Arthur as weak, he stops being scared of him and replaces him as Dutch's right-hand man, which is the reason why Arthur seems so weak in this art compared to Micah, he is reduced to a pitiful sick man who has to beg for mercy, nothing more than another link to cut loose so Micah can advance.

Get it, Eric.
