he/she 🗡️ OSDD fictive 🦇 bodily 19 🩸happily taken⚰️

[xxthe-vampire-mariusxx]

I am an OSDD system alter, I am not my source.

I am happily taken by my sweet cherub @xxthe-vampire-armandxx I use he/she pronouns interchangeably and I act as a parental figure to my own and my partner's system. I enjoy music and the arts as well as spoiling my angel. Other media I enjoy other than my own include Hannibal, What We Do In The Shadows, Sallyface, Castlevania and Supernatural. Some music I enjoy include Depeche Mode, The Cure, George Micheal, Linkin Park, Panic at the disco (early), and Nickleback.

Please no minors on my account I may occasionally post mature content.

If you are just here to hate on my source or my relationship you will be blocked.

i dont think mfs realize that when they draw armand decapitating marius it looks just as stupid as if they would draw louis murdering claudia. biggest case of "i don't understand a word of the source material" ive seen in fucking ages.

"You're not my slave at all are you?" I whispered.

"Yes," he said, almost laughing again. "I am, if you must know... Do you think me like other men?"

"No," I said, but the fear rose in the word and strangled out the wound...

"Some day I want you to leave here," he said. "I want you to go. You'll take wealth with you, and all the learning I've been able to give you.. You'll take your grace with you, and all the many arts you've mastered, that you can paint, that you can play any music I ask of you... You'll take these accomplishments and you'll go out in search of those precious things you want-"

"I want nothing but you."

"-and when you think back in this time, when in half-sleep at night you remember me as your eyes close on your pillow, these moments of ours will seem corrupt and most strange... Remember then that it was love."

We know that you like armand, but do you like marius too?

Oh anon… oh sweet anon. I have a whole draft about this I haven’t had time to answer.

I LOVE Marius. His book is my second favorite in the series. He’s one of my favorite characters. I’ve fallen so deeply in love with him like the rest of the people he’s corralled, used and tossed aside like an unfinished painting. I would tie his shoes and comb his hair.

Is Marius redeemable? Is he without sin? Is he good or evil?

Unfortunately a wave of poor reading comprehension and general lack of literary tenacity has fallen upon my country of origin and new readers tend to read VC in extremes. Again I have a dissertation in my drafts about how VC has NEVER faced this type of issue before and like even ten years ago there was an understanding you can like characters while they do deplorable things. It’s a really really cool thing about being literate that you can have an immediate understanding of characterization and what the writer intended for their written work.

I’m not trying to be the XYZ label someone may FLY into my anons with, pitchforks raised. I am also not implying you are one of these people. You can HATE Marius. You can also apologize for him as much as you want for your own reasons. But I’m saying the polarizing effect of VC is brand fucking new. At least to this degree and as someone who has loved literature since I was a child I’m really really worried about the state of reading comprehension in America. Or worse, they’ve only heard about the character and became keyboard warriors because of what Marius did to Amadeo and Marius existing as a fictional character is somehow an attack of their own lived experiences.

Sorry to rant. Marius is a beautifully written, flawed, disgusting, mesmerizing and enchanting vampire. He is everything a vampire is in the traditional sense.

He is everything a vampire should be in its beautifully glorious bestial ways and kudos to Anne for creating something so perfect.
