Well. The t-shirt was part of the package, anyway.Ā 

I don’t even know what to say.

Darling, just be glad your merch store is still in business?

marius-de-romanus:

ooc: btw this is p random but i felt the need to voice my opinion so if you’re not interested feel free to ignore it!!

See, I’ve seen a lot of people complaining about Marius’ personality, not only here, but among good part of VC fans who I’ve came across in the past regarding his book Blood and Gold. I would like to point some things that I find important and that maybe would help you to have a second thought about it.

When I read Blood and Gold for the first time, I felt a slight emptiness, and that familiar feeling of disappointment in the pit of my stomach after knowing closely some of his choices and attitudes – and more than that; his true persona, after all. But after a while thinking about it, I realized that no matter how wrong he was by some of his choices, each one of them made who he truly is: selfish, yes, but compassionate, an artist, melancholic, and undoubtedly proud, but good and gentle at heart.

He is far from being perfect even though we enjoyed to believe that he was due to numerous descriptions we had of him in TVA, TVL, QOTD and Pandora. But he isn’t. He commits mistakes as everyone else, and if we were to compare him to Louis, Lestat and Armand, for example, judging by all the years that Marius is alive, I honestly don’t think his mistakes were so numerous. Some of them were intense, and most of them regrettable, yes, but I do not think that makes him a ā€œbad characterā€ or that he is any less of what Lestat, Pandora, Armand, etc, describe in their respective books.

Only because he was described by many as a ā€œsageā€, a ā€œphilosopherā€, etc, it doesn’t change the fact that before he was turned, he was also a human. And Marius, in my opinion, is one of the most ā€œhumanā€ vampires among the coven. His mistakes were in it’s majority also ridiculously human, being driven by the impulse of his emotions.

So I think that instead of focusing only on the bad things, you also should remember how wonderful his good side is. How loving, caring, compassionate, intelligent and cultured Marius is.Ā 

Marius was not the only one to commit mistakes. And it is good that he did because it’s a nice reminder that not even ā€œimmortal beingsā€ are perfect, no matter how godlike they appear to be.

Therefore, my point is: instead of simply judging and saying that he is a shitty character because he was not what you thought he was, give it a second thought. No one is made only by their good sides, nor by their mistakes alone.

To like him or dislike him is personal, though. Yet, to say that his character sucks only because you don’t like it…. it’s hella stupid and makes me hella pissed.

Therefore, my point is: instead of simply judging and saying that he is a shitty character because he was not what you thought he was, give it a second thought. No one is made only by their good sides, nor by their mistakes alone.

^THIS

Just so you know, you have been one of the kindest people in the fandom that I have encountered. I know that I am not the only one who feels that way. You have made a difference to so many people both those who are established and those who are starting out. You are always willing to lend an ear or a helping hand, quick with a kind word or a funny remark. You are so very loved and appreciated in this fandom and I hope you know the importance you hold in so many people’s lives.

ooc; Thank you. Ā I appreciate this message a ton. Ā I honestly hate it when I see people that feel left out and try to be there for everyone. Ā As i-want-my-iwtv has said, there’s enough of a divide with the ā€œPeople of the Pageā€ and the rest of the fandom. Ā No need for any more cracks. Ā It’s too hard to have tensions. Ā It’s much easier to let bygones be bygones, get along and just be kind to one another.

I started this thing when I was twelve or thirteen that I challenge myself to make at least one person laugh a day, because then I know that even for an instant, I’ve brought someone some joy. Ā That’s what makes life worth living.
