A parable about a red-skinned snake spreading its venom in the garden of irresolution, loss, lust and beauty. Sometimes “fantasy” is nothing less than untold x inconvenient truth.

Aloysius: You damn kids with your falling out boys and your panicked discos and your romantic chemicals and your imaginary dragons and your cold moneys and your pierced veil and your demand for the horizon and your sleepover with siren and your short trips to Mars-

Do you think Myrddin had an "oh shit" moment when he saw his new freshly turned champion, Jonathan, was about to kill himself when he just became a vampire? I just replayed the game for the 6th time, and I just realised that his not-so-average maker probably was watching Jonathan. And Jonathan probably should had died there, so maybe Myrddin just dragged him back with some godly-vampire-magic. Still I'd love to see the panic in Myrddin's eyes at the beginning.

First of all I would like to commend you on being so thoroughly invested in this game that you've played it 6 times! That's a level of not-normal-about-media I can vibe with. 💞

But what an amusing question! Myrddin is such a smug bastard about the whole affair that I'd certainly enjoy seeing him taken aback by the sheer suicidal audacity of his new Progeny. I think being a newborn vampire comes with plenty of perks (I have many theories about the biological and supernatural process of turning), not least of which include heightened resiliency to mortal wounds--but the change also seems to be something that not everyone survives (Charlotte's friend Emily, Reid's alibi upon killing Aloysius Dawson)... 🤔

So, is Jonathan already out of the woods, just because he's already woken up? Does waking up (and feeding on his sister, when we know how well you KNOW a person effects how much power you can get from drinking their blood...) imbue him with insane temporary strength? Or is it still uncertain whether he'll survive? Would Myrddin have bothered reaching out with psychic poetry if Jonathan weren't a sure thing? Is that poetry a kind of "blessing" or magical invocation to wish his Progeny luck in the coming travails? Is predestination involved in Myrddin's seeming certainty?

I believe we're meant to understand that Myrddin is largely implacable in the face of mortal affairs, and he's made plenty of Progeny. That makes my knee-jerk assumption that he'd watch Jonathan attempt suicide impassively, which is actually so messed up? Sure, if him surviving is guaranteed then I guess there's no need to worry, but jeez. Have a heart, Myrddin. 😰

Having said that, we know Myrddin expresses (arguably contradictory) sympathy for Jonathan in the darker epilogues. Does that care only come after the events of the game, or is it there from the outset? Jonathan is naturally unconscious in the immediate aftermath of his suicide attempt--so if Myrddin, say, called out to him in concern, he wouldn't hear it, and we certainly wouldn't be privy to it. And the idea that Myrddin might PANIC and "drag him back with some godly-vampire-magic" is so compelling?? Surprise, Myrddin, your new son doesn't think you're God, he just thinks he's going insane (or dreaming)! Maybe you should have counted on the skepticism of the modern era, idiot! (Or did his other Progeny also make attempts on their life?) (This does seem like the most narratively expedient way to demonstrate someone has achieved immortality) (munch to consider...)

I know many of us tend to dispense with the supernatural nonsense (namely Blood Daddy and Plague Mommy) for more grounded narratives (I've certainly made no secret of preferring Vampyr's more human-focused original story concept to the JRPG-reminiscent "Let's Kill God" finale we ended up with); but Myrddin is still a crucial linchpin in Jonathan's development as a character, given he provides the inciting incident, is the root cause of most of Jonathan's problems, and the source of all his powers. I'd certainly like to see more of, and try my own hand at, fan explorations of their relationship.

Thank you so much for your wonderful question! 🥰 As preoccupied as I am by the contradiction of Sean being a(n alleged) sole exception to vampires being hurt by the cross, I had almost forgotten that Myrddin's cryptic bullshit and impenetrable poetry was one of the main reasons I became obsessed with this game and wanted to do literary analysis at it. So thank you for the reminder! 🫀💓

rules.

one.ㅤㅤi am private and selective, meaning i will only write with mutuals. i don’t follow blogs with excessive ooc content, reblogs or negativity. it’s really not my cup of tea.

two.ㅤㅤsimilarly, i don’t participate in callout posts / culture. i’m not interested. not here for drama. not here for vagueposting. if you have an issue with me, talk to me privately. anon is off and will stay that way.

three.ㅤㅤi’m well over 21, so i’m down to write weird shit. give me dark plots, horror, gore ― whatever strikes your fancy. there’s very little i’m not willing to write, so chances are, i’m down.

four.ㅤㅤi have a full - time job and various personal issues that may keep me away from the dash for any length of time. if i take a while to respond, either ic or ooc, i apologize. it’s nothing personal.

five.ㅤㅤi do practice mains and exclusives, mostly for my own comfort. i like having close, dedicated, long-term partners that i speak with fairly frequently and let me develop characters and dynamics beyond casual threads.

author.ㅤㅤcole. 31. gay male. libra. obsessive horror enthusiast and villain apologist. birds are extremely important to me.

general info.

ㅤㅤi do have verse for each of the endings, but my main verse follows the third ending, where jonathan is unable to stop elisabeth’s sacrifice and falls victim to grief and anger, feeding not only to appease his thirst, but often out of rage. this impulsiveness faded over time, but he still feeds on those he deems safe.

in his quest to save london, he:

SPOILER ALERT for Vampyr!

I swear, with each line that Aloysius Dawson speaks, I feel like the game gives me another slap in my face, each harder than previous, telling me "do you regret saving his old ass now?"

“You don’t deserve immortality, Mr. Dawson. I don’t believe I’ve met a man so bereft of empathy, you Sir are despicable.”

Goddamn Jonathan.

(Given the type of character this dude is though..building a wall to throw the poor behind to let them all die out??? Well deserved)

#TECHNICALLY charm is the best choice here but as you can see i missed that vital part soooo next best thing #kinda #vampyr #nates vampyr play #spoilers #jonathan reid #aloysius dawson #nate vids

"Rosalind Dawson" by Cristian-Marcus Buliarca on ArtStation

you guys wanna hear something interesting?

the character model used for Venus Crossley is sometimes referred to as "Rosalind Dawson" in concept art—so for any of us confused about what she was doing with Clarence, this seems to me a resounding answer (I'll grant that Venus continuing to live an upper class lifestyle while Clarence spent all their money on printing vampire awareness brochures is still a good read, tho whether that was explicit or implicit i don't recall)

but, yes. her surname clearly indicates that she was not originally conceptualized as Clarence's wife, but as a relation of Aloysius Dawson's. a trophy wife, or perhaps a public-facing high society daughter to make their family image look very good?

and i think we see something like a glimpse of this original concept in one of the earlier trailers—forgive the undoubtedly low-res screenshots, I'm on mobile, but!

Lord Firstname Redgrave is taking a bite out of Venus/Rosalind in this scene! and it quickly pans right, through a window and down to the street to focus on Jonathan approaching Ascalon club

so, what? did Aloysius give his daughter/wife up to Ascalon in exchange for membership/vampirism? is she cheating on him for a chance at vampirism? or just for the dubious thrill of bedding Redgrave? (tho I'd totally get it if he still had that beard...) or if she'd already become Venus by the time this trailer was made, then was this supposed to be how Clarence got his grudge against vampires—the attack/demise of his wife?

on the other hand, DONTNOD is hilariously guilty of arbitrarily populating the scenery with whatever NPCs they had on hand for promotional material, since they had none crowd mechanics...

[from left to right: Aloysius Dawson, Jonathan, a generic Ascalon Lord, Calhoun Russel, Emelyne Reid, Avery (I think), Loretta Swanborough, Newton Blight, Hsiao Shun]

these characters are drawn from every corner of the game—West End, Pembroke Hospital, Whitechapel—just to populate ONE scene in the West End... DONTNOD I am begging...

so! maybe Rosalind/Venus being in Ascalon club in that trailer isn't as deep as all that... but it's a curious tidbit I thought I'd share with you all! :)
