really love dynamics that are like 'it honestly doesn't matter if you view them as romantic or platonic, the point is that they love each other. the type of love is inconsequential, all that matters is that it's there'. gotta be one of my favorite genders.

A Botticelli Angel
This was so fun to do, I did a quick research on Botticelli's technique on oil painting and tried to recreate that digitally. I feel like I need to try drawing in this style more times so it can be more accurate, but I hope you guys like it!

Remember The Egg? The easter egg Armand got from his mother in Kiev?
The painted egg he keeps thinking about even when he is already master of his coven in Paris and that has such strong metaphoric connotations in his book? We are told he kept it in his coffin in Venice
And we are told it was still there before he was taken away from Venice and he wonders what was of it in his frantic dreams.
Anyway, let's move now to Blood and Gold. After Bianca's turning, the very same night after the burning, she is sleeping in Amadeo's coffin
Okay, we are not told exactly that it is his coffin but Marius is using his and I doubt he had more around
And then a few nights later they leave Venice to go to TWMBK shrine in the Alps, and she is carrying a bundle of things with her.
And she carries this bundle into the shrine
So what I'm saying here is it's only logical to conclude Bianca must have found the egg in Armand's coffin and it would've been easy for her to understand this was a precious possession for him (given he kept it in his very coffin) and thus there is no reason to believe she wouldn't have kept it with her and taken it to the shrine and then to Dresden and so forth.
And I'm not sure if those eggs can survive 500 years in good condition, but if by any means they can, it is entirely possible that Bianca kept the egg and still has it today.
