Thank you and enjoy!

For Marius' week I'm posting a preview of a comic I've been working on (theme Sanctuary). Marius finds an abandoned building to unwind in... but what if he gets lost in his own head instead?

Yes, it's based on his chapter in Prince Lestat.

I'd have liked to have finished this comic 2 months ago but lol.

Marius Appreciation Week Day 5: "Ode to Botticelli"

I made this years ago based off the Botticelli painting "Birth of Venus," and when I saw that one of the prompts today was "Ode to Botticelli," I knew I just had to drag it out of mothballs again.

It's a very Botticelli take on the "birth" of Amadeo, specifically the moment when he emerged from the ocean after cleaning up, and Marius ran to him with a cloak.

Marius appreciation week, day 3- Sassy Marius! And sassy Daniel, obviously, because how else does a boy get into such a place aside from not watching that mouth?

Day 8 - Dominus

“I may be out of practice with this,” Marius murmured. “It has been some years, after all.”

Armand smirked, those tempting auburn eyebrows of his waggling as though he didn’t care whether or not Marius was out of practice. Marius wondered whether—if he could have looked into Armand’s mind—he might have seen a flagrant disbelief that Marius would pick up this element of their relationship once again.

With a quick flick of his wrist, Marius cracked the steel ruler against his other hand.

“Now, have I got your attention?”

The previous mirth in Armand’s expression fled.

Oooh I just found out about the Marius apresiation week, sorry my beloved

Luckily I got Marius's pics to re-post in abundance since I love this man to pieces! Edit: I think this one could be used for the bonus day:

Marius Week - Day 1 - Father

"Big Boy" on AO3

Six-year-old Marius’s little bare feet went pitter-patter on the cold tile floor as he rubbed at his blue eyes with one chubby hand. He was following the sound of voices, of his father’s deep, booming laughter calling to him from the other room.

“Why aren’t you in bed, boy?” his father asked as he waddled into the circle of reclining men drinking wine and playing tali. The dice had clattered at his feet, and one of his father’s friends tallied up the score as the little boy said, “I want to play with you.”

“You should be sleeping, Marius. It’s late.”

“Ah, let him sit with us for a bit,” one man said. “The kid just wants to feel included. He looks up to you, you know.”

“Come here, Marius,” his father said, and the child obeyed the summons, giving a small “Whee!” as he was lifted up into his father’s lap. He reached for his father’s cup, but the man held it up out of his reach, saying, “Sorry, that’s not for you. Not until you’re older.”

Marius waited a few moments, then said, “I’m older now.”

The circle of men erupted into boisterous laughter. “That you are,” his father pinched his cheek with a smile. “But still not old enough yet. Not tonight, child.”

“Dammit, I got the dog!”

“Don’t curse in front of my son,” the man scolded.

“Sorry,” said his friend sheepishly. “Bad roll.”

“There’s still hope, one of us could get something even worse,” a third laughed.

“My turn,” Marius’s father said. “Give me the dice.”

“May I?” the little boy asked timidly. 

“Here,” he smiled, letting his son roll.

The little stones clattered on the floor, and he read them out as they shuddered to a stop: “Six, four, three, one.”

“Good job, Marius,” his father smiled, and one of the friends cried out, “The boy rolled a Venus? Oh, come on!”

“You won the game, child,” Marius’s father collected his prize, fishing out a single small coin to present to his son. “Congratulations.”

Marius took the money with all the wide-eyed wonder and glee that only a small child can achieve, thanking his father in a small voice.

“You’re a big boy, you’ve won your first game of tali,” his father smiled. “Why don’t you head off to bed now? I’ll see you in the morning, all right?”

“Good night,” Marius sighed, allowing his father to kiss him goodnight and sliding off of his lap.

He would treasure that one little coin forever.

(Quote from the vampire Armand-Anne Rice)

[deromanuscoven]

ᴡᴇʟᴄᴏᴍᴇ ᴛᴏ ᴛʜᴇ ᴄᴇʟᴇʙʀᴀᴛɪᴏɴ ᴇᴠᴇɴᴛ ᴏғ ᴍᴀʀɪᴜs ᴅᴇ ʀᴏᴍᴀɴᴜs!!

📖 ωєℓ¢σмє αη∂ нανє ƒυη!

From August 24 to August 31, the de Romanus coven will celebrate the character of Marius de Romanus with an event.

Ⅰ-This year the event will be organized in three days aimed at aphorisms of famous painters and the cue given by their picturesque works, while, other three days will feature a prompt dedicated to the thoughts of the great minds of the Greek and Roman past and proverbs taken from Druid culture.

Ⅱ-The seventh day will be devoted to the painting of Sir Lawrence Alma Tadema, who dedicated his art to the ancient world and especially ancient Rome. His paintings will be accompanied by an aphorism from Ovid and an aphorism from Pasolini, both dedicated to time passing, remembrance, and loneliness.

Ⅲ-The eighth day will be dedicated to the DOMINUS prompt, which we decided to keep from last year's event.

📖 We have tried to encapsulate the essence of Marius' character, gathering cues from all that is most loved about him, and cherished things about his character.

As always, the days will be divided into two prompts to choose from; everyone can choose to tackle one or both. We kindly ask for respect for the character of Marius and especially for Anne Rice. This event is for those who want to share, and create positive content with love for a character they hold dear.

Ⅳ-All types of work will be accepted, fanart, fanfiction, moodboard, aesthetic, poetry, photos, collage, etc….

Ⅴ-All work should be tagged with de romanus coven event, please, so that it can be easily reblogged in the coven. If you happen to notice that your work has not been reblogged, please contact us right away, thank you, so we can add it to the event.

Ⅵ-If you are late in posting the prompt on the day for which you prepared it no problem, post the work anyway, we will be happy to receive it even outside the day of the prompts for which it was created.

📖 Each day of the event the Coven will publish a post with banners with prompts from the current event day. The banners can be used freely by those attending to accompany their artwork or writing work.

“Would you truly have the Blood, Amadeo?” I asked. “Say it to me, that you forsake the light of the sun forever, and forever you will thrive on the blood of the Evil Doer as I thrive.”

Blood and Gold

"Prime Minister"

In a stunning display of laziness but an ardent desire to participate in "Marius Appreciation Week," here is a repost of an older Marius art of mine, following the theme "Prime Minister."

Day 7 - Draw on His Skin

“Your line work always has been terrible,” Marius observed, gazing from critical, narrowed eyes.

“Shhh,” Armand said impatiently. He added another line, linking two of the others. It was the letter ‘A’—the first initial of his name—beside the ‘M’ Marius had carved before passing the medical grade scalpel.

The two of them used Daniel’s back as a canvas, in particular the skin of his right shoulder blade.

Beneath their attention, Daniel sighed at the sensation of the last line Armand drew underneath both initials.

The marks wouldn’t last into the following night.

But, tonight? Daniel belonged to them.
