No but Karna having died AS A CHILD, having basically given up her childhood and youth, dealing with so much shit, having Amangeaux’s actions basically cause her to have to start AGAIN from what she had built up from nothing, having the first person she ever had her own desire for not seem to see her the same way, (not as serious as the other stuff, but still, ouch.) and STILL ending her life grateful for the nine years she got, for the friendship and love that she HAD, fucking GOT ME.
Aabria posted on Twitter about one of the songs on her character playlist being “Love Kernels” from Crazy Ex Girlfriend, and I know that’s meant to be about her feelings for Deli, but there’s a lyric, “Whatever you got baby, I’ll take it, baby”. Amangeaux’s care for her, though not enough to carry through with their deal, the paternal feeling she got with Raphaniel sometimes, and Deli’s respect for and titling her “Skald”- it wasn’t ideal, but that was more than she thought she’d get, and she’s glad she got it. She had to fight for everything she had and everything she got, but she DID get it, for nine more years than she should have. She died permanently at 22, still young, but she got more time, and that was important.
How bad could the Hungry One be to allow that, indeed?

What are your favorite things about your favorite VC characters? <3
I think I love their relatabilty factor. My favorite characters are Armand and Lestat but I really like Nicky, Bianca, and Riccardo too. I really like how they bounce off both Armand and Lestat and how strong their bonds are. Both Nicky & Riccardo broke my heart and at least with Nicky I really understood his struggle as an artist. Or even someone picking up a passion later in life or even how he disappoints his family by not shutting up about it. Riccardo i got attatched to him reading TVA like the rest of boys.
Bianca, admittedly I always loved her relationship with Armand platonically. Maybe because she was always such a comforting presence and I swear I could imagine the need to go to her house and crawl under her bed for a nap lmao. She's that type of person who would let you lay on her lap while combing her fingers through your hair next to an open window, during the spring.
With Armand, it can get a bit personal since there are parts of his life I heavily relate to which I wish I didn't. But it only fuels my love for him and the fact that I can understand his reactions to what happens to him and around him. And Lestat, he reminds me of someone I consider to be my favorite person which automatically shoots him up to my absolute favs.
I honestly love how these characters can be so messy, human, toxic and sympathetic all in one. I've been in a few fandoms before this that are very heavy with in canon moral superiority (super-heroes are like that) with hardly any room for the morally grey. So, I'm a bit exhausted with dealing with 20 characters that share a space, abide by a strict moral code, then go absolutely feral at the slightest deviation (i'm looking at you b@ tman) So, I'm grateful to this series and all the characters being the messiest of bitches.

Honestly I find it hilarious that I've accidentally made it a thing of Vash being a horse girl (gender neutral) bc I'm writing his tomas as a weird horse
Chica the tomas was an accident. She was unplanned. I just tossed her in on a whim, realized I loved her, realized VASH loves her, & now a bunch of readers love her too
I've also gotten a few comments like "man I hope nothing bad happens to her!" And I'm over here just Sweating bc like
Objectively? That Bird Cannot Stay In The Story. If Vash keeps her, she will die. There is no WAY a normal mount would survive the utter chaos of his life in the coming months. Either he gets rid of her, or she dies. There's really no middle ground.
Which makes me sad :( I love Chica the tomas and itnl Vash loves her too
