Quentin was on the top shelf with the ladder when the door bell rang out about a new customer. Living in New York brought him a new sense of self since the owner pretty much adopted him as his son and put him in his will. He was set to inherit the bookstore after his passing and since let him have full control over what the restock orders looked like. Because of this, he had a vast collection in the back of rare spell books. "Hello! Welcome to Book's n' Stuff. Where we have a little of everything you can possibly think of. I'll be with you in a minute."

how do they see themselves? - for both, but also how do they see each other?

from here

For Jekyll, how he sees himself changes based on whether or not it is pre-Hyde or post-Hyde:

PRE-HYDE, Jekyll sees himself as a brilliant but misunderstood scientist. He’s confident in his knowledge and his scientific pursuits. But he’s not at all confident in his looks, his personality, or anything like that. He sees himself as A GOOD PERSON who’s trying to do the right thing, but… he also kind of sees himself as someone who’s strange or weird, disguising himself to try and fit into society. Smart, but misunderstood.

POST-HYDE, Jekyll sees himself as a man who’s made a MASSIVE MISTAKE. He sees himself as careless for not thinking harder about the experiment. He sees himself as a good man who’s created a MONSTER… and as time goes on, he starts to realize that he himself might also be a monster. He questions his sanity a LOT, and he often wonders whether or not his critics were right to call him a MAD SCIENTIST. But he pities himself. He sees himself as a tortured soul, like the ones poets describe. But it’s important to note that he also sees himself as RESILIENT, unwilling to give in to Hyde’s demands without a fight. That resilience slowly starts to decline as time goes on, but that’s a topic for another day. But in conclusion, post-Hyde… JEKYLL HATES HIMSELF.

JEKYLL SEES HYDE as the monster, the beast, the embodiment of EVERYTHING EVIL in all men. He wanted to separate good from evil; in his eyes, Hyde IS said evil. He despises Hyde with every fiber of his being, but I think he knows deep down that Hyde is a part of him, and that all the evil things he does were once contained within Jekyll. He just refuses to ACCEPT THAT. Jekyll sees absolutely no redeeming qualities in Hyde and regrets the experiment COMPLETELY.

HYDE SEES JEKYLL as an absolutely moronic idiot of a man, a mad scientist, and everything in between. Hyde sees Jekyll as the force that’s holding him back from reaching his FULL POTENTIAL. He thinks Jekyll is suppressing him, trapping him, SUFFOCATING HIM… but he also thinks Jekyll is weak for not being able to FULLY hold him back. He sees Jekyll as absolutely DELUSIONAL — a man that pretends to be good, but is actually not too far from evil himself. Hyde taunts him about this all the time, which brings me to ANOTHER point: in a strange, off-putting way, Hyde sees Jekyll as HIS PLAYTHING, a man he’s free to torture and taunt whenever he wants to. He sees Jekyll as a challenge: a challenge to BREAK HIS SANITY. But he also despises Jekyll with every fiber of his being, and he wants nothing more than to TAKE OVER Jekyll’s body for himself.

HYDE SEES HIMSELF as someone powerful, unstoppable, dangerous, and just plain EVIL. He also sees himself as extremely intelligent, able to play his cards JUST RIGHT. He thinks he can survive almost anything, and he doesn’t see danger as problem; rather, he sees it as a CHALLENGE. He’s cocky and way too overconfident, but in his mind, everything has always worked out before, so why should he doubt himself? He sees himself as someone EXCITING, someone who enjoys life, and someone who gets pleasure from the pain of others — A SADIST. He owns that title with pride. He sees himself as an irresistible challenge for potential lovers, and as someone who’s very skilled with a knife. Overall, he LOVES HIMSELF and everything about himself — except for the fact that Jekyll keeps him suppressed.

selene isn't alone, she can feel that much in this new environment, and it doesn't bring her an ounce of comfort. to be alone in a new place would be more favorable, but such is not the reality. she stands a bit straighter, the vampire facing away from the one watching her. ❝ what do you want? ❞ she means no harm to anyone, for she's running from her own past in hopes of getting far away from those looking to kill her.

@drkroots liked Miles' starter call

Miles had just gotten back from his first date with Aiden, and all he wanted to do was tell someone all about it. It didn't really matter who. He was just happier than he could ever remember feeling, and he felt like if he didn't talk about it, he'd burst. "I'm home," he called out as he shut the door behind him and walked further into the house.

❝ JUS' STOPPED BLOWIN' TODAY. ❞ the look on his face, slightly ashamed, say that this isn't true: when he leans forward and blows at the engine of his cadillac, he does so to avoid the eye contact. he can already hear his daddy scolding him, he didn't need anymore guff about the neglect.

❝ took it out m'self, tried'a clean it - ❞ @drkroots

@drkroots Shannon helping Lilith decorate a Winter Solstice altar

They were in the middle of the woods, a glittering frost hardening the ground with the undeniable threat of snow in the air. The chill bit at their cheeks and the wind blew around the stone remnants of the altar, the crack now running through it painfully obvious. At their feet, Lilith had placed candles in winter colours, evergreens and berries and nuts, there were charms and coins, trinkets and baubles, all ready to be placed on what was currently little more than a stone table.

"It was desecrated," she explained to the other witch, "by a man with delusional ideas of...self-importance. It tainted its power, tore way its significance for witches. Any witch. Decorating it for the Solstice on the longest night will, if we do things correctly, bring that power back." She looked to Shannon, hating to ask for help, but having the wisdom to know when it needed to be requested. "While I could do this alone, two witches are better than one, and the...connection, sharing the load, will help to..." she sighed, hating the sentimental sound of it even though it was based entirely in magical certainty, "...mend the break."

🙌 - for the npc meme!

Send a 🙌 and I’ll introduce you to an NPC related to my Muse.

October Grey - Anarch Lasombra Neonate, and within the canon of this blog, Coyote's primary political rival. She's more keen on some of the older Anarch ways of thinking and is of the camp that Kindred and Kine could live alongside one another but such a thing would take some time. Any Camarilla would consider her far more respectable and easier to work worth.

She's a very classy and charismatic woman and is more experienced than Coyote, but it wasn't her and her people that threw the Camarilla out of London. That wasn't a mess she had the chance to be a part of. Otherwise, I feel she likely would've been the first choice to take the place of Ymir Kastova. With the Baron's close cabinet already full, her place is that of the Lasombra Warlord.

Their personalities, beliefs, attitudes, and methods clash. What started as a friendly rivalry has become increasingly tense and almost mean-spirited on both their parts. Snubbing out the competition is a bad look, so Coyote lets her do her thing for the time being since she's well-liked enough by others. If she ever does something to compromise the domain or just wildly out of line, they'd take great pleasure in giving her the boot and slamming the door behind her.

“Oh, Jesus. I can only imagine. When I want entertainment, I can just read the tabloids. I don’t remember who I’m meant to be dating at the moment. Is it Madonna?” He laughs. It’s a rare moment between practice sessions for Dave, but he seems relatively relaxed about the fact that he’s going to be playing a major tournament soon. “I thought they would’ve gotten bored of me by now and moved on to someone else.”
