Pandora: Ancient Roman Blood&Honey

marius's relationships with sexually liberated women who challenge him vs his relationships with subservient men who admire him 😌

I have to give some time to actually talk about this more but I really really adore this about Marius's character and how it creates sort of a profile of his queerness; it feels very real to me that sometimes we like different sexes or genders in different ways, how that relates to our own sex & gender. And the duality in each of us to need different things from different people! It's something that resonates with me deeply and I love how it's expressed with Marius and his fucked up relationships!!!!!!!

MARIUS de ROMANUS Appreciation Week:

DAY 1 - I am a son of Rome - A young Marius during his service in the Roman army.

Thorne and Marius ( Commission for @kaelio )

Marius Appreciation week day 4 "Husband" That scene n in Pandora when she sees how her wedding with Marius would've been TwT

regarding marius I just think that Pandora sometimes wanted to watch him go down on women that she’d bring over and she’d give him instructions and wouldn’t let him drink until he really got it right and gave them at least three mind shattering orgasms. I bet it’s something he continued to do with random mortals invited into his home when he missed her and perhaps something they continued doing in the present!

i’m done… goodbye cruel world *turns into a stone* *u toss me into a lake* *i sink to the bottom* *i erode over the years* *i return to the surface* *a young girl finds me and brings me home* *i am placed on a shelf in her bedroom* *i am loved for decades*

Halloween Event/Day 1 -> Marius de Romanus/Necromancer

And some nights I still have visions of my Maker, who seemed always preoccupied and strange.

Reminder: if you tag character hate on my art I will block you ✨

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

Bonus:

they seem like very good friends

Made a basic reference for myself of these three young men with dark curls. (Quinn is based on that one handsome hardcover book art.)

From Pandora– I choose to interpret that proposal like her father said:
