and welcome to Melancholia, one of the very first Joachim Armster shrines on the Web and the TFL-approved fanlisting. The great Roman orator Cicero once wrote that "insofar as the mind is stronger than the body, so are the ills contracted by the mind more severe than those contracted by the body". This is a theme that resonates well with regard to our beloved anti-hero, who is sick at heart (and mind) of the injustices leveled against him. These "ills" are what drive him beyond hope of rational discourse and into violence when a certain blond knight ventures into his water prison.

Now, if you also adore this elegant vampire, please join the fanlisting. If you have done that and are interested in further reading, please feel free to explore the shrine side. Keep in mind that I am always looking for contributions from fellow fans, whether they be artwork, written works or theories.

I hope you enjoy all that you find here, and please do return in the future.

♥ Kai
