marius needs to be held by someone bigger than him.

Hm, vampires do have some interesting customs.

Thornevald and Marius

By @killer-laurent 🖤

@kaelio requested Thorne, who was high on my to-draw list!

Bonus:

they seem like very good friends

VC does a good job at constantly reminding us that vampires don't desire sex because they're sensual creatures whose entire bodies have become erogenous zones but like when I tell you how much I fucking adored this moment I found at Tulane which explicitly made the connection between hair combing and making love!

But rereading B&G I'm looking at these two moments with Thorne, a couple paragraphs apart from each other:

"Come," [Marius] said, "let's be done with this pleasure and go for another. Let's hunt. I can feel your hunger."

"BE DONE WITH THIS PLEASURE AND GO FOR ANOTHER" as they're bathing together, referring to the kill being the closest thing that vampires come to sex. And then a moment later after they've gotten out of the bath:

Marius had finished with the task and now took a fresh towel from the stack and began to rub Thorne's back and shoulders. This familiarity sent the chills through Thorne's limbs. Marius rubbed hard at Thorne's head, and then he began to comb the wet hair free of tangles.

Just!! Bathing! Hair brushing! it's so much!!!!!!!

(also let's focus on Thorne right now but this always reminds me of how Armand makes the point to say that when he's being trafficked they pull his hair and hurt him and one of the first thing Marius does is comb it gently okay!)

Listen I'm too emotional to be coherent about this so I'm plopping it on the table and stalking off to wail into the mountains but I just wanted to share this !!

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...

Imma stay in the shadows because I am shy but I may or may not have ugly sobbed in sheer happiness at your Thorne content. Like... No, seriously. I adore all vamps in Anne's world (only exception being Santino, but I don't hate him, and I respect Santino stans). But Thorne? From the moment his beefy popsicle butt entered the scene I was so in love. SO.IN.LOVE. And you draw him exactly like I imagined him and I just... CRY. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! Talented gorgeous artistic incredible - that's u!
