bloodstrung:

there are exactly two highlights in Blood & Gold

1. the glimpse of Armand ruling his coven which basically boils down to “either you guys shape up or I swear I will replace you all”

2. Santino, after years of devotion and religious fanaticism, meeting Pandora and instantly going “Satan who?? don’t know her”

3. Marius and Avicus playing Mael Tetris 

Yes to all 3! and hey it’s all fun and games until someone gets decapitated.

Hello! Do you recall if there is ever any reason given on why Mael didn’t survive the sun stunt although Armand, who is much much younger did? If Anne ever explained it I didn’t catch it. I love your blog by the way and you seem to be a lovely person <3

Y’know, I don’t think it was ever explained in canon! We’ve had a few Mael RPers over the years who might have have a good answer for you… @thevampiremael, @maelgallia come to mind. Other RPers, or anyone else, are welcome to comment/reblog w/ ideas on this.

Mael had been turned (pretty soon after Marius was turned) by Avicus, another God of the Wood who had survived the Great Fire. Even if Avicus had done a bad job turning him or had recently turned other fledglings, that shouldn’t have been a factor in Mael’s vulnerability to sunlight so many years later, since Mael was old enough to have earned some durability on his own. The only answer I can think of rn is that Mael’s combusted remains were further destroyed by frightened mortals who saw it happen? Idk! It’s an answer I’d like to have. 


I love your blog by the way and you seem to be a lovely person ❤
