ambientspark :
The show fandom is crazy callous about Armand.

armand is so traumatised he fr has memory issues due to his trauma. sam reid also has to constantly remind people lestat isn't a reliable narrator 😩

Childhood trauma and suppression of emotions for survival can create memory gaps down the road 🥺 I think the show/books do a very good job with all the characters with this but particularly Armand. Also curious if Marius possibly tampering with Armand’s memory will come into play in the show

The most relatable part of Armand is after hes purchased and hes looking at the art in an old church, his legs go out on him because hes triggered. I too can't walk when my nervous system is too activated.

iron deficient vampire :
it makes sense that Armand's memory is really patchy... that would have been his brain trying to keep itself "sane" despite everything that's being done to him. his inconsistencies could also be him trying to edit how he is perceived by people (and by himself)... one minute he has a past as a slave, the next, he's rescued from a brothel... he doesn't know 'why' he's editing nor is he aware whenever he's actually doing the editing... with him, it just... happens. he literally doesn't know who he is because everyone around him so far have been the ones giving him his new identity.

I saw an analysis that vampires can't create art because art is something extremely human, so when they transform they lose that ability, but at the same time they continue to yearn for art, like lestat with music, the theater, louis trying to be a photographer...

I knew there would be a wave of people claiming Lestat's retelling is 100% accurate and flawless but the fact that it's happening before the show has even COME OUT like come ON guys we don't even know the context of the SCENE (anyway luv ur vids)

Bloodanna :
It's also super interesting because in the show large chunks of his story about meeting Lestat are basically just the movie Amadeus and we know in the books that Armand is a huge film buff. And so I almost wonder if some times he just.... forgets what is real and what is fiction without realising. THe lines blurring between this was a thing he saw vs this was a thing he experienced. He does have *500 years* of memories and he has spent a lot of that twisting himself to match what others expect. Maybe to him, at this point, the truth is just whatever he has told himself that day and he doesn't even realise the way the details shift. If anyone calls him out on it... well, that's easily changed in their mind as well.

Mare lagnese(“they/them) :
I mean by the time he meets Lestat in the books he’s about 300 years old and is 391 when he meets Louis and Claudia in the books . And 415 in 1940s and 515 in the 2020s,, that’s a long way to go. Even probably 100 years old you start forgetting things. Also the mind erases things from our mind that were traumatic for us, so don’t have to feel that feeling again. So who knows how it all went down, not saying that he didn’t go through all through that But it makes you question what are the missing pieces.

I actually read TVA first, and I more or less chalked up any differences to Lestat or Louis misremembering or mischaracterising Armand or things he told them. Not necessarily out of spite, but more a combination of hurt or anger and a bit of the broken telephone effect. I remember feeling like Armand felt disconnected from his own memories; dispassionate, unaffected, but also somehow unaware of his own disconnection. I think we'd call that dissociated these days.

HeatherHurtsSoGood :
Armand is a adolescent in the books, a lot like the Claudia in the show, trapped as a perpetual youth

I would love to hear you talk about the differences between Armand and Marius’ recollections of their relationship (tva vs blood and gold) and if you have anything you’d particularly love to see in the upcoming season.

The editing bit is so interesting. Never considered Armand was editing his own memories until now

the way weve seen him say parents sold him but his first memory is being run down by slavers to daniel i wish show only people understood armands trauma they always make him this machiavellian villain when he isn't that at all he is deeply traumatised (ty Jacob for saying armand is a deeply deeply traumatised vampire) 😩

im always in the camp of marius messing with his memories especially if we get past devils minion where armand altered daniels memory imo he's repeating the pattern off marius but can't take that final step of turning daniel until dubai 2022!

Forg :
Like all the issues of turning a child are to do with the state of their brain at the time… a DEEPLY traumatised adolescent was frozen in time and given immense power, that creates a fascinating psyche

Brittany Funk :
And him being so old, I’m sure he misremembers things. I’m 40, and forget the explicit details of things all the time that happened over 20 years ago.

Dan :
None of these people are reliable for a multitude of reasons. Whether it’s intentional manipulation or trauma induced memory fog or just the amount of time they’ve been kicking around as undead. In my opinion that was always part of the point of the books and by extension the shows. You can’t experience the dark events that led to them becoming vampires or the horrific things they had to do as a result of being vampires without things getting messy in the memory department. Everyone is going to be wrong about what truly happened and part of the story is figuring out what actually happened on the back end. I’m not saying it’s a mystery, just overlapping stories from people who intentionally or not are remembering things wrong. The only things we can know for a fact happened the way we read them or see them on screen is when they are placed in the present.
