I dead ass thought Armand was at the AA meeting to get a kill because that seems pretty reasonable

What I wasn't expecting was him taking it seriously and going on an apology tour

The whip lash was beautiful let me tell you

[theravennest]

He's multitasking, I think.

Get a snack. ✅

Build a cult. ✅

Find a way to make amends to my 3 boyfriends. ✅

this is how the conversation went right?

(based on this:)

"I love it well enough the way you turned out," he had whispered with a sudden irrepressible smile, the warmth still there. "You're my firstborn," he'd said.

LESTAT "THE CUNTESSA" DE LIONCOURT Interview With the Vampire - 3.01 Detroit

[scottxlogan]

Daniel and Armand (AMC's Interview with the Vampire)

[theravennest]

I can't believe Lestat confirmed Show!Armand as French-Bengali! That clears up some questions I've had about Armand's backstory but opens the door for new theories too.

Does Marius know exactly where Armand is from and has lied to Armand about it or held the info back from him but told Lestat?

[chicalepidopterareblogs]

Where are you getting that Marius lied to Armand about his origins from???! Armand has never said that he was from Delhi, he has only said that he was trafficked there jfc

[theravennest]

This is speculation/theorizing not me stating it as fact. You will notice that I posed it as a question.

So far in the show Armand has stated that he doesn't remember most of his childhood and his first memory is of being chased down in Delhi by slavers. Presumably the Delhi Sultanate. But this episode Lestat states Armand is Bengali. Presumably referring to the Bengal Sultanate.

While Lestat could just be talking to talk, stating Armand is Bengali is way more specific than if he'd just said something more generalized like "South Asian." This specificity feels like surety to me. There are only two ways Lestat could state that Armand is Bengali so definitively. Either Armand knows that's his birth home and told Lestat or Marius knows that's his birth home and told Lestat.

Until the show tells me otherwise, I will believe that Armand doesn't remember his childhood and his first memory is him being chased in Delhi. So right now it's more likely that Marius knew where he is from and didn't tell him.

In the books, Marius finds out exactly where Armand was from and didn't take him home until after he was a vampire already. Then spent the majority of the time being over the top jealous of Armand's relationship with his biological father. It is not unreasonable for me to think the writers might adapt this jealousy in a more direct way like this in the show. Especially since the show is making most of the characters a bit more overtly evil.
