[CHAIR WHINING A BIT WITH A SHIFT IN WEIGHT] All our interviews are recorded for archiving purposes, is that alright?DANIEL
Mhh-hm.ARCHIVIST
Right-DANIEL
Wait, are you gonna use… that? I thought it was just a decoration. I haven't seen anyone properly using that in decades, why…?ARCHIVIST
Other means of recording simply won't work.DANIEL
You mean… only a 70s tape recorder works in this whole institute?ARCHIVIST
Yes.DANIEL
[CHUCKLE] You can just say you’re one of those vintage people. Cringe is dead, isn’t it?ARCHIVIST
No- no, that's not- I mean what I said, cell phone recordings won't work.DANIEL
Huh. Why though? Does it simply record silence, or…?ARCHIVIST
[TIRED SIGH] I… understand the curiosity, but I honestly have no time to explain, so… let's just leave it at that.

Bookmark Notes:
A NICHE CROSSOVER I LOVE
ALSO, ARMAND IS SOOOOO SPIRAL CODED
WHY DIDN'T I NOTICE SOONER
OF COURSE THAT'S PART OF WHY I LOVED THE GREMLIN
NOW I NEED MICHAEL AND HIM SITTING DOWN FOR TEA AND MURDER OR SOMETHING
Also, kinda wanna write about Jon becoming Daniel after he was reborn, or awakening that part of himself along with uncovering the mind control in S2 E5 and being like AGAIN?! I DID THIS SHIT AGAIN?!!! HOW THE FUCK DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING TO ME?! WILL I NEVER KNOW PIECE FROM ANCIENT SUPERNATURAL SHIT FUCKING WITH ME?!!! I'M GONNA THROW A FUCKING RIOT!!!!!
It's just hilarious to me if he was being all Eye Avatar at people his entire journalistic career and no one noticed. But that's why he's such a good reporter and has a thriving career and has such Shit sense of self preservation.
Though...this does bring up the Q of where tf Martin is! Honestly, the Loneliness of it all makes me Really fucking tempted to make him Lestat, its the mommy issues too! But also, it would be sweet if it was Armand and just got twisted with time and trauma to be unrecognisable to everyone but Jon. Maybe Armand never remembers but he does have this sense of the connection which feeds the Devil's Minion? Or maybe it takes Jon awakening and going Full All Knowing Eye Avatar on their asses for him to remember? Because ain't no way he would lose All his fun eyepocalypse power ups.
Actually, wait, just realised how similar Jon and Louis' guilt for being monsters is. If these angst ridden idiots are the Same, then that justifies Lestat being Martin and it all makes sense and they're fucking soulmates and it's Adorable. I need that in my life now.
(Also, makes sense how Louis Keeps meeting old powerful beings who will fuck him up but also have unhealthy obsession with him)
...is Daniel the Gerry to Armand's Michael?
Yes. Yes, he is.
Glad I figured that out.
(Actually wait... Yk, Sasha Was very Spiral coded... No, can't go off on That tangent now...But I can't stop thinking about how Tim is very Desolation, he would burn down a theatre in a Heartbeat... Hmmmmm, this could work for the polycule honestly, Archivist team all back together and all in love. That would be Adorable. Except for the part where they're all more than a little bit fucked up... But meh, they can work it out, lets us keep the parallel with Daniel and Jon too.)
(Hm, now that I think about it though, Martin Does have a thing for fire too... I guess who's who depends on core elements of each character's personality and how a Load of trauma can alter those behaviours and thoughts and feelings and reactions to situations? Because now that I Think about it, Martin's deep need to be a caretaker for others Do be reflected in Armand... Hmm, I need to do some research (rewatch the show again and relisten to the podcast) to figure out the core elements to each character and where they overlap... Am I overthinking this? ...probably)
