Regina - such a villain-- maybe I need that. A real villain --someone challenging Lestat. A "Regina" in his life. That's what I need. (Watching "A Place to Call Home.") Imagine if this "Regina" plots -- actually finds Gundesanth. Eleni? Could it be her? Allesandra? Who would want to become the Lord? Armand?

Can't make Armand a villain.

What about Mael?

Avicus?

Mael?

Armand will warn him. I try to despise you. I even tried to plot against you, but I can't do it.

(lmao at Mael twice. Mael? Avicus? Mael? Daniel? Mael? Eleni? Mael? Mael?)

Oh wait, if we're going to have Armand telling his story that gives us a lot of things to look forward to, will we get the chance to see Santino, Allesandra, Riccardo and Bianca? If Marius is on "Daniel's side", will we get a glimpse of Pandora, Bianca or Avicus and Mael? Or even Thornevald? Do you understand? When the Queen arrives, it will be necessary to unite all the vampires capable of thinking clearly. They'll have to fill a huge table with thinking heads.

Not to mention Seth with Fareed and even Nebamun! Aaaaaaah😭😭

If Louis is in his Merrick era then what happens to him will impact almost literally with the end of Akasha (about the things Louis explains in the Prince Lestat era), they're telling a story that covers all the books and so it's something to think about...

I really just need to know SO MUCH MORE about Mael, and today I'm specifically thinking about his feelings when his boyfriend was constantly just lurking around Marius's garden ? They don't even speak, he just loiters! Does Mael know where he goes? Is it a problem for them? Do they talk about it at all! What types of separate lives are they living, even as a couple?! What does Mael do with this alone time???

@immortalsarcasm can I join your Marius Mondays? I’ve been thinking I wanted to draw something every time your post came by on my dash, but always forgot! 

Here’s Avicus (yes Avicus!) being reverential and soft with Marius as per Blood and Gold because I love him and Marius deserves soft, adoring kisses. 

#vampire chronicles #avicus #marius de romanus #tvc #vc #blood and gold #the vampire chronicles #my art #I always have this image of Avicus as vaguely greek looking for some reason but all i remember for sure is he has dark curls and big eyes

[bluehairandproverbs]

real sicko thought for the other vcblr sickos out there: what if Marius had left Mael like that? What if he had just told Avicus that he wasn't sure there was anything he could fix, and anyway hasn't Mael always had his head screwed on wrong? 🤔😈

"Mael was beautiful.  The beauty was the sum of the faults - the hawk nose, the too prominent jaw, the leanness of the face with the wild wavy straw-colored hair around it.  Even the eyes were too deep-set, yet all the more visible for it."

- Jesse from The Queen of the Damned

I’ll look for examples later, but I like that, in Blood & Gold (especially towards the beginning), Marius is just trying his hardest to be polite and tolerant of Mael and the latter just takes offense to everything. He’s the personification of the meme “and I took that personally”.

Meanwhile, Avicus is just standing there like:

#Blood and Gold #Marius de Romanus #Mael #Avicus #Don't forget it was Mael who kidnapped Marius #and took him to become an unwilling vampire #It's late and I don't feel like looking through books #I'll do it later

Here are all the drafts from Tulane's special collections box 40-41 for Blood and Gold. This is a book I enjoy a lot, but it does have less material in the special collections than some other books, such as Merrick or TVA. Nevertheless, I hope you enjoy!

It's so strange how Marius speaks of Avicus and Mael as his inseparable companions in a sense that his existence might be meaningless if he lost them, but then Marius meets Zenobia and suddenly the narrative goes on with him only touching on the names of Avicus and Zenobia as if Mael never existed. As much as the two of them had disagreements, it seemed to me that Marius was mature enough to have gotten over it while the three of them were together...

Marius' "love" for me seems to be limited to those with whom he can have a master and disciple dynamic, anything less is totally disposable for him. When Zenobia appears and becomes his pupil, she automatically becomes a love in his life, capable of erasing Mael and any forgiveness or amends that may have been made between them...

And then Botticelli appears and becomes his obsession with the paintings he can offer. When Bianca appears, she reminds him of the paintings, of Pandora... When Andrei appears, he reminds him of Christ, of his ancient Rome and the infinite possibilities... Marius doesn't love anyone, Marius loves what creatures can offer him, or what creatures can make him remember. Marius loves only the past that no longer exists.

And so this may sound a little hypocritical when we look at the vampires of this universe, so attached to the past and those they have lost or that which is no longer coming back... The feeling of nostalgia, longing, what is now missing... But I don't know.

Maybe if we look at everything with the impression that their actions are just desperate attempts to replace what they've lost, full of pain and trauma, then what wouldn't be left?

I mean, is that what humanity boils down to when these vampire monsters are so human? Do we perpetuate this tireless quest to replace what we lack?

Does Lestat do this with Louis? Does he seek in Louis what he has lost and seek in Louis ONLY what Louis can offer him in a sense of making up for what is missing? Armand does the same thing with Louis and then with Daniel? That hurts. It hurts to think that it's vague and empty since it's all a matter of convenience to just ease the pain that the monster feels.

What sometimes makes me despair about these books, especially in the early books, is this idea of love and how love is placed. Love as a whole in its essence and thinking about it makes me desperate. I don't like love because I don't know how to love things, I don't know how to love myself, I don't know how to recognize love. So I read and see this love portrayed here and it doesn't help me at all!

We have a song in Umbanda that goes like this:

"Every illness is curable, oh my God, only love isn't."

Does anyone have anything to say about it?

Am I crazy? Did I get it wrong?
