I worked on this way too long and still need to work on it but fuuuuuuuck that today.
Have this wonderful AU suggested by this post.
Will add notes later. It’s later and I’m still awake so random facts time. May be as scattered as my thought process. Apologies now. Going under cut so as not to make long post.
The Tattoo Parlor’s name is Atramentum and the flower shop is The Grove (I worked so hard on the second one ffffft)
The city this AU takes place in is New Orleans. One for I’ve visited the city constantly and loved it. Two, I’ve moved here finally and still love it. Three, seriously, I’m surprised I haven’t found a flower shop beside a tattoo parlor yet all things considered in this city.
Marius obtained two degrees in college. One in Art History and one in Philosophy. Mael is currently studying online for a Business degree.
Mael constantly visits with what he calls ‘leftovers to brighten the room.’ Marius takes the time to shamelessly hassle/flirt with the flower shop owner.
Marius works late and Mael is always up early. Both will often bring the other coffee to help keep each other awake.
Mael has a few piercings and no tattoos. Marius calls this a sin in his building, considering how often Mael visits. He’s determined to change that.
The flowers in the vase actually have a meaning. Mael has constantly brought over different types and colors hoping SOMEONE might notice but isn’t in any hurry to point it out. This particular bundle contains Moss Rosebuds, Variegated Tulips, and Red Camellias. Have fun!
I want to redesign that whole parlor. It’s too PLAIN.
It was weird to draw them with mortal skin tones but it’s done.
I ran out of ideas for tattoos on Marius. Please send ideas. For him or anyone. I want to draw more.
