Just Another Random Cosplayer

Beware - Interview with the Vampire thoughts (and spoilers)!

I am not going to lie, I have found the interview part of this show so much more interesting than the flashback parts (not to say the flashbacks/story isn’t interesting but there is so much going on in the present time scenes) So in my musing, I was wondering why they were doing the Interview again almost 50 years later and I think I have figured it out. I don’t think it is because Louis wanted to set the narrative right (we all know his story is full of holes and he is being controlled. Even he was confused by parts of the story he supposedly ‘lived’) I think it is because Armand wanted to see Daniel. 

Its been years since I read the books but I remember that Armand and Daniel had a seriously toxic and obsessive relationship which drove Daniel to almost die before Armand turned him. In this reality, Daniel was clearly not turned *coughyetcough* but I think the relationship still happened. 

I think at the end of the relationship, Armand was faced with the choice to either kill Daniel, turn him or let him go and in this reality, he chose the last option. He wiped the relationship from Daniel’s mind and tried to set up shop with Louis to forget about him but on learning of Daniel’s diagnosis, Armand decided he needed to see Daniel one last time. 

He manipulated Louis into thinking about the interview again so there was a reason for Daniel to return and he hid out as a servent so he could see Daniel but still have the option to walk away while Daniel didn’t remember him. 

He saw how sick Daniel is getting and knows Daniel doesn’t have long to live so he was trying to spend as much time with Daniel as possible (the prayer scene, the dinner scene etc) and help him by getting him the best medical care. 

I think this reveal has shown Armand’s hand. He has decided he wants Daniel back and is going to allow Daniel to remember him now. (Also, I think he is now remembering how much of a little shit Daniel can be when he is going after something he wants, be it the truth from Louis or being turned because that reveal was insane)

I hope season 2 will go into their past relationship (and not just because of the amazing casting for young Daniel. Seriously, I thought HOD was good casting but young Daniel and old Daniel are spooky in how much alike they are) and I think Armand’s end game is now going to be Daniel. Daniel doesn’t realise it yet but he is no longer in control of his own life (but we know that he is not going to take that laying down.)  

Armand has gotten his claws in Daniel again and I think its gonna be a wild ride from here. Bring on Season 2.

I can’t believe its been almost 20 years but I am back in Vampire Hell! (In other news, guess who has been watching Interview with the Vampire and who have almost thrown the remote at the TV during ‘that; reveal in the last episode...you know the one)

Where's the petition for Neil Gaiman to include Tom Sturridge and Ferdinand Kingsley as non speaking extras in Good Omens Season 2?

Just a small scene where Aziraphale and Crowley are talking in a pub and those two are in the background, at their own table. A teacher and a goth. No dialogue, no acknowledgement from any of them.

Just two seperate fandoms silently losing their minds.

How I hope Tim introducing his brothers to his new boyfriend will go. 

Tim: Bernard, this is my older brother Dick.

Bernard: The one in the homemade Robin hoodie?

Tim....yes.

Tim: And this is a weird estranged cousin who happens to be called the same name as my deceased brother Jason.

Bernard: He’s wearing a red shirt with the Robin logo on it. 

Tim:......And turning to the left, this is Damian, the bratty one.

Bernard: Tim, why is your baby brother wearing a discount Robin costume?

Tim: .....He’s special? They are all special.

Bernard: Babe..... your family are all so awesome! I love that they support Gothams best hero. 

Tim trying to remove his boyfriend from the room as fast as possible: And now its time for you to leave the room, forget about these idiots and meet Bruce.

Dick: See! I told you the conspirasy theorist wouldn’t suspect anything. 

Jason: What do you think Replacement will do when he realises Bruce is wearing his specially made Batman polo shirt?

Damian, trying to rip off the Robin costume Dick forced him to wear: Hopefully his head will explode.

Finally caught up with Batman Urban Legends #6 and after the complete freakout and celebratory fist pumping, I re-read it and I have a thought I need to get out. 

So.....Bernard Dowd. 

What do we know about him.... He’s big into conspiracy theories involving the Batfamily but also clearly admires what the Bats do.... He clearly knows how to fight (very well, given what happened).... He got picked up by a murder cult because....? He wore a red shirt while doing it.....

Maybe he was investigating the cult and trying to take it down. And if so, why?

This is just a theory but maybe, just maybe....he is part of the We Are Robin movement?

Maybe the poor thing just didn’t think his investigation with the cult would interfere with his date with Tim Drake. Since he probably doesn’t know the Robin Luck and well, if there are two of them it probably just gets worse.

I can’t say if this is in any way true but honestly, I just like it because it means both boys are in for a hell of a surprise in the future. I mean more so than when Bernard inevitably finds out that Tim is Robin.
