Marius De Romanus - Tumblr Posts

I wonder what this will say for Daniel.

*taps mic* is this thing on? Yeah okay so every vampire in the vampire chronicles is turned at critical a moment in their lives and beyond just the body they are in when they are turned, their mentality stays at that standstill for their entire immortality, Lestat was turned against his will, he was clinging onto Magnus begging him to be freed, so he’s constantly seeking freedom and only finding loneliness and thus turning back to people again and again, however he can’t STAND being told what to do, since he desires agency in his life so desperately, Armand was turned after years and years of abuse and lack of control but such a desire for genuine love, by a man he ‘loved’ so wholly who he felt was barring his love from him, he needs control in his life, he needs a ‘master’ but he does not desire it, it does not fulfill him, he is trapped in a room but the door is unlocked! Louis was mourning his brother, he felt like an utter failure and so he’s always seeking family, seeking people he can care for, he can coddle, he can prove he is good too, but he loves people who either cannot stand coddeling and need a sense of looseness to live (Lestat) or people who grow out of coddling who prove to Louis he will always fail the people he loves (Claudia), Claudias turning, in many MANY ways mirrors lestats in that it was against her will, she was stolen from her home, and in her immortality she desires freedom but unlike Lestat does not have the agency/ form to get it, she will always be small, she will always be looked down on, even by Lestat who cannot deny how much she is just like him *taps mic* ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME!! NONE OF THEM CAN BREAK THE CYCLE!!! TO BREAK IT WOULD BE TO UNDO THE VERY FIBER OF THEIR IMMORTAL SELVES!! THE CYCLE IS THE BLOOD THEY DRINK IT IS THE HEART IN THEIR CHEST AND IT ROLLS AND ROLLS DOWN THE MOUNTAINS AND VALLEYS OF THEIR LOVE FOR EACH OTHER AND IT CAN NEVER BE STOPPED BECAUSE THEY WILL NEVER STOP LOVING EACH OTHER!!!!!!!!!!!!

wait I have an even more unhinged alice theory to throw into the ring

what if alice is marius

daniel (apparently) had a relationship with marius after the devil's minion era in the books which would line up to the same time as the show (sans vampirism)

maybe he hoped another vampire would turn him but was rejected again

maybe thats why the marius painting drew his attention in s1

@somewheremillo is this enough to convince you to read the books/hj

i've started reading tvl and no amount of posts telling me there's a "huge tonal shift" could have prepared me for this HUGE TONAL SHIFT this is the funniest fucking thing i've ever read it genuinely goes like:

louis, narrator of iwtv: as i wandered the streets of paris, i wished most of all for death. i had called to god, to satan, anyone, to find meaning in it all. but for an evil creature such as myself there is no place in this world. there can be no love where this evil lies. it was as though a veil separated me from all that could be good and righteous. i did not deserve to love and be loved in return, not by claudia, lestat, armand. to attempt it would be a sisyphean task, a fools tale. and yet...... the need for hole from armand was so great. greater was only the need for........ living human blood.

lestat, narrator of tvl: hey guys, my name is lestat, you may know me because i'm really hot and sexy. english isn't my first language so sorry if i make any mistakes!! okay here's my story: after rotting beneath the earth for decades, my hot and sexy body has finally risen from the ground. i used to be depressed, but now i'm slutting it up again in the 20th century! first thing i did was get some (hot and sexy) new clothes and then wore them while riding my (hot and sexy) motorcycle and listening to bach on my sony walkman. while i was watching this super niche indie film (you've probably not heard of it) "apocalypse now" i realized that i'm so evil that i shouldn't exist. but then i realized what could make me deserve to live on this planet: rock n roll music.

                                                                                                       — Marius. Coming Together.

         Someone was waiting here in this little room for him, someone whose presence he had been unable, except by the most ordinary means, to detect. A figure who stood behind him now. 

         How many times over the years had he dreamed of such a reunion, and he had never had the courage for it; and now on this battlefield, in this time of ruin and upheaval, they were at last to meet.

Armand Modern au…

Armand is a famous streamer, and he's doing live on ig.

@thevampiremariusderomanus asked for barely covered Marius and I ran with it.

Let Armand Draw Again 2020

I hope this cuty sleep moment is enough for all fan *^*

Armand waiting for Marius to return

can’t sleep so I made Armand memes obviously:

I drew a thing for the first time in ages! I'm new to Tumblr and I thought I'd share.

Armand has been itching to try and paint again, but he's super nervous. To get over his anxieties, he asks Marius to be his canvas lol

And Marius could never turn down his fledgleling's artistic pursuits.

@rosefisherlioncourt asked for Marius looking after Amadeo while he was sick, so I chose the scene where he stressed himself to a fever in church.

I didn't intend for it to be so Jesusy but that's what I get for listening to Alanis Morisette

Quarantine day 5, still going. Not anywhere, but going

Marius and Armand and rainy days and cozy windows

So I really like that one Marius chapter in Prince Lestat. (Just wait till I'm done with a more serious comic rendition of that very same chapter.)
