#2 shadow using vampires looking dapper af

[jpriest85-blog]

Couldn't sleep last night so I drew more @barbwritesstuff Thicker Than art depicting Lady Roxan Blackwell and Lord Marcel Medici looking dapper AF while dancing in the shadows.

Marcel and Roxane's dynamic is facinating, even with Lord Medici being known to have a fondness for fledglings someone like Roxane is a pleasant surprise. She's an intelligant woman with a medical doctorate, which was almost unheard of for black women when he was still human. She was able to accomplish something like that during her brief human life which was considered only a dream for anyone that wasn't a wealthy white guy for a long time. Which also makes her death especially tragic considering Lawerence took her life and free will to serve his ambitons, stealing Roxane from her infant son. It's all too familair to Marcel who's seen so many beautiful and promising black women and girls over the centuries lose thier lives because an entitled wealthy man wanted to use them for his own success and comfort. It's why Marcel never knew his own mother after being born on that damn slave ship. Is it any wonder they both became so close after knowing each other for 5 short years? Even with Marcel orginally aproching Roxane for stratigic reasons, he genuinly enjoys her company as he got to know her. Likewise as much as Roxane hates the court Marcel is one of the few people there who makes things tolerable.
