Louis didn't see her birth or death (insp)
I wasn't sure about Jordan shifting to masc before kissing Marie (I've been burned by shows wanting to stick to heteronormativity so many times that I get defensive a bit too fast). But!! It just hit me, the scene when Jordan was asking Marie to tell the truth about how they fought Golden Boy. At first Jordan was confronting her in femme mode, but when they started pleading with her, no more anger or accusations just genuine earnest vulnerability, they shifted to masc. And the kiss scene same thing, when they were flirting/bantering, they were femme, but when it came to kissing her, taking a genuine risk, they shifted to masc. Considering that their masc form has the invulnerable power, that was Jordan bracing for rejection in their strongest form. Whenever they feel vulnerable, they shift to their strongest form. And after finding out in ep3 that they were amab, I now love that their masc form is when they have the invulnerable power. Their femme form is them coming out, and has the most outwardly power (those super badass waves they send out). And their masc form is the form in which they've had to be the strongest and brace against expectations and rejection so that's how their power manifested. It's so fascinating I love Jordan Li so much!

It's a big deal for Louis and Lestat to see each other again. For us, Jacob and myself, it was a lot to do with, what's their connection, even when they're not looking at each other?

In Armenian, when we want to say โdamn youโ or โgo to hellโ, we use the expressions "ีฃึีธีฒีจ ึีฅีฆ ีฟีกีถีซ" [groxy qez tani] or "ีฃีถีก ีฃึีธีฒีซ ีฎีธึีจ" [gna (kori) groxi tsocy], which translate to โmay the writer take you awayโ or โgo and get lost in the writerโs embraceโ in English. You might wonder, โWho is this writer-person?โ and โWhy is it considered a curse?โ
According to traditional Armenian belief, Grox (the writer) is a spirit who records a person's deeds during their lifetime, determining the purity of their soul. This concept may be linked to Tir, the god of writing and literature in Armenian mythology. In some interpretations, it was believed that anyone whose name Tir wrote in his notebook would die. This is where the curse "may the writer take you" originates.
During the Christian era, Grox was mistakenly represented as a Christian spirit who no longer recorded human deeds but instead determined each person's fate, inscribing it on their foreheads. Over time, Grox came to be depicted as an evil spirit, sometimes identified with Satan. Thus, the curse "get lost in Groxโs embrace," which originally signified death, took on a more negative connotation. However, this was not originally characteristic of Grox in Armenian traditional beliefs.
So, if you want to get creative with your curses, instead of saying โgo to hell,โ you can use the phrase โget lost in the writerโs embraceโ.
The biggest and genuine smile Armand ever gave in all seasons was when Lestat showed him his ass on stage to tell him to fuck off.
