well i'm comforted by the knowledge that book!armand has some faith in the christian god (and, like, that this faith is vital to his character) because it means theres absolutely no fucking way they'd just do that one-to-one in the show and so we're one step closer to an exploration of show!armand's relationship with islam

#iwtv #armand #the vampire armand #armand iwtv #interview with the vampire #i cant find a source on whether assad is muslim or not like i know there was that one interview where he said he grew up in a #muslim community #but that doesnt necessarily mean hes muslim himself/was raised muslim/if his parents are muslim #but i still think theres a good to fair chance that when he was called in to the writers room to discuss show!armand and to #collaborate with the writers over how show!armand is different to book!armand #that this was because armand's weird relationship with faith in the show will be concerned with islam rather than christianity #(and also because assad is south asian and show!armand is a delhiite but that so far isnt relevant to his character in the same way #that i know religion WILL be. because thats how it is in the books)#im lowkey trying to watch as many interviews as possible so that i can envision s3 in my mind. patient needs s3 to live.#anyway we poppin the biggest bottles when armand has a complicated relationship with islam in s3. or something #also i have something else to say but it's a pretty major book spoiler so this is your warning to look away #if im right about this. i wonder whatll change about armand attempting suicide #because the christian conception of heaven hell and repentance doesnt exist in islam #so yea. i wonder how exactly the suicide attempt will be characterised/if it will be to do with his faith in god or something else #because its lestat fucking with him that leads him to try and kill himself anyway? hes like hey i met the devil. god is real btw #not sure lestat has a keen enough understanding of islam to pull off the equivalent but yanno #(maybe that points to show!armand being christian and not muslim. but thatd be boring and i dont like that idea🧡)#thunder rambles #armandposting
