an impossible afternoon light

people joking about how they'd ignore marius like akasha did if he was their keeper is funny but even moreso when you remember she chose and killed anyone that tried to replace him like GIRL

SWEETHEART

Akasha's silence struck me as terrifying and confusing. After all, why was I asked by Akasha to take her out of Egypt if she meant only to sit upon her throne in eternal stillness? It seemed sometimes that self-destruction was preferable to the existence I endured. — Blood and Gold (2001)

he's so beautiful. i'll think about everything else later because i am completely enthralled by him. he is just so so beautiful.

it's been hours since i finished the episode and i'm still pacing back and forth my hands are trembling as i type this like it IS that serious to me. marius de romanus and akasha the only vampires ever. absolutely magical performances for characters that deserve it!!!
