hold on wait. wait. regime change between when show!armand leaves delhi, and when he's turned into a vampire. god. i'm thinking about his speech to madeleine, his "what will you do when there is nothing left of your era?". if he tried to visit the village he came from during his time with marius, he will likely have witnessed exactly that. within his mortal life. armand believes he is uniquely suited to endure immortal life, to adapt and survive no matter what. he might have seen the fall of the lodi dynasty while he was in his 20s; maybe that's why. but god. how devastating. his village might even have been destroyed in the fall of the lodi dynasty. what do you do if you are taken from your home and when you finally have the freedom and strength to return to it, it is unrecognisable to you. fuck.

#armandposting #asterisk asterisk asterisk. i have never studied the delhi sultanates this is just from reading wikipedia.#also as with all regime changes on the scale of something like the lodi dynasty. random village people probably dont care unless theyre #being killed in the process #historians are always arguing about how much continuity there is when X regime falls to give way to Y dynasty #i cant remove that line of thinking from my head. perhaps the lodi dynasty falls and armand's home village is unaffected. HOWEVER!#tis interesting to think about. additional ten years spent by show!armand in the palazzo you will always be famous to me.#iwtv #iwtv amc #thunder rambles #releasing this from the drafts cuz i thought about it again #with them changing the timeline so louis' time in new orleans is set during the upheaval of the early 20th century. AND changing #lestat's time in paris so that it takes place during the french revolution...... i feel like the change in armand's timeline may be #for the same reason (re: the emotional turmoil of the characters is reflected in the chaos of society that surrounds them #and may even feed into that turmoil)#idk though. of course armand is in venice when this is happening so maybe i need to look at whats happening there during the 1510s lolsies #still! worth thinking about
