I haven't actually watched the new interview with a vampire but something abt radovid reminds me so much of the white guy in that, every time he comes onscreen i get genuinely startled when he 1) doesn't have a southern accent and 2) doesn't just fucking eat someone

#radovid's is a vampire tho right? #not like regis or katakans or whatever tho. just a regular iwtv or bram stoker's dracula prettyboy vampire #idc what anyone says this is Canon. to me #p

It's all good! I was kinda feeling off of being called pretty after it being used so much yesterday, but that additional of boy at the end has me rejuvenated

Pretty: Alright in small quantities

Prettyboy on the other hand: I'm vibing

Now if someone calls me handsome - We getting married /p

these are from a few days ago bc i was vainly hoping i'd remember to make more but i got distracted so fuck it posting em now. fae au ft. my insane personal fae biology (do not get me wrong it's not like. developed. i just mash animals together and call it a day. in fact this fae lore only exists bc i like to read trashy ya novels for fun and i got bored with all the human prettyboy lotr elf fae designs. BUT ANYWAY)

doc, gem, etho, and the convex! doc is kind of a loner (you could say... a hermit [i am dragged offstage]) who lives in the woods of the spring court and doesn't really talk to other fae much. gem is the princess of the summer court and etho is the prince of the winter court. the convex are both fall court fae, not royalty or anything, but fairly well-known for being, well, tricksters. there are others in this au, but i haven't drawn them yet :P

ykw the most frustrating part of that is. that's not even how halsin IS. as someone who enjoys him, even if i agree that he probably didn't need to be elevated to companion - he in no way indicates he'd be paternalistic about sex! at every point he just. rolls with it. he's not gonna be explaining consent or stuff unless asked specifically, he's gonna assume his partner knows what they want and trust that they will tell him to stop or change something etc. 1/

And you could argue that could make an INTERESTING dynamic with someone who’s still working through finding what they actually do like, and I mean in the ‘causing interesting issues’ way, if you wanted to go there, but having him just be a dildo attached to a self-help podcast isn’t that. And like it's p clear that he's CHILL about sex, not a walking sex textbook. 2/ He brings up a poly relationship and if you mention you have a partner he’s just like yeah duh I wouldn’t do this without their permission? and YOU get to say if you’re willing to ask them about it, he doesn’t tell you to or not. Doesn’t give you a primer on poly and how to approach it or anything. 3/ not to mention he has his own Extremely Fucked Up backstory about sex that he has obviously a) come to terms with and b) reacted very differently to astarion, but he’s maybe the most likely to understand the need for sexual agency without explaining it in therapy speak. he's got wisdom as his highest stat for a reason 4/ hell, if you go in with him to the drow twins with gale he doesn't even get all uwu consent about gale nervous bamfing out he's just like ‘oh damn, was hoping you'd show us what that wizard mouth do. Anyway watch me fuck your girlfriend and join in if you like :D’. anyway sorry for this essay but damn it annoys me seeing people flatten what could be interesting into 'uwu sad prettyboy gets railed by buff carebear speaking like a tumblr post' /end

railed by buff carebear speaking like a tumblr post YES THAT EXACTLY THANK YOU

i had a tangent in the post i deleted for being too tangental, but since you're allowing me the excuse: i COULD see astarion/halsin in a - they're both lowkey horny. they hook up. like play with the dynamics, you know? they hook up and it's only later halsin finds out about astarion's Trauma (because while he's generally open that cazador was a Bad Time, he doesn't actually go around advertising the specifics). let HALSIN freak out. he remembers his own backstory here, he starts worrying he Took Advantage, he gets all the tumblr takes about it. let astarion - very reluctantly, you know he doesn't wanna play therapist - be the one to lay down the rules. declare his boundaries and horniness.

like there probably IS something you could do with that premise. as little as astarion is inclined to carry anyone's emotional baggage, he does repeatedly, with durge, state he wants to be an equal partner, to protect and not be protected. i can actually easily see him warming to the role of "being needed" - when has anyone ever relied on him? expected anything from him besides a warm body? mind you, he'd probably be terrible at it, but i can see that appealing to him.

hell, you can EVEN make a case that halsin hasn't accepted his backstory as well as astarion. he kind of laughs it off. oh, yeah, it happened, it's over! astarion is actually pretty self aware that he's fucked up and disassociates and forces himself through sex. you could actually have a lot of fun with that in a fanfic. have astarion go "oh, no, you're probably a bit fucked up about that, aren't you?" and halsin be like lol no i'm fine. let astarion be the weird paternalistic one for once, i'm saying. as a Treat.

anyway tl;dr i agree with you. i wrote my little rant about astarion because i feel like i Get the character better, but honestly the dynamic is a huge disservice to halsin, too. what if he doesn't want to be a therapist??? what if he's not into it??? what if he just wanted a hook up with the local pretty boy, huh????

I feel dirty for doing this, but I do have to raise one point in defense of NFCV's Dracula. While Carmilla and Godbrand saw him as either a crazy person or a shortsighted idiot who wasn't planning ahead for what would be done after humanity was dead, it was heavily implied, if not outright stated, that Dracula knew that he was dooming himself and vampirekind to death via starvation, he just didn't care. In Season 2, Episode 6, around the 5 minute mark, when Dracula narrated out loud that he was only moving the castle to get his generals to shut up, he lamented that he was doing all this, "Just to keep the peace between squabbling creatures who will starve and die before the end of the year anyway." Further, Alucard outright said that Dracula wanted to die before calling the war "History's longest suicide note". I read this as Dracula being fully aware that he was going to die as a result of his extermination, in fact, it's what he wanted. His goals were humanity's extinction as revenge for killing Lisa, followed by his own death because he was just so lethargic and miserable for the entirety of season 2, and he just didn't care if the rest of the vampires died out as a result (Which, honestly, makes the fact that as many of them followed him as they did completely ridiculous, but then again, none of them were actual characters outside of Carmilla and Godbrand).

I know. "He just didn't care" is exactly my point :P

The games never think too deeply about the consequences of Dracula's eventual victory, that much is true. Logically, it's an easy conclusion to reach: if Dracula manages to destroy mankind, and he's a vampire who needs humans to live, he'll eventually starve. But I think it's because it's not really the point: we already know that Dracula's plan is insane, and him for even going through it.

Dracula is targeting the entirety of mankind for the sins of a mob in a random village. Dracula went so far as to make a pact with an Evil God to gain more power. Dracula is completely disrespecting Lisa's memory - he may not have known her last words, but surely he'd know that she wouldn't appreciate a mass slaughter of her own kind in her name. Hell, LoI is all about how Dracula has been an overdramatic, spiteful, petty king even as a human! "Wife died. I'm going to reject my whole humanity, and in doing so causing the death of my bestie's fiancée, but that's okay, I'll propose him to become immortal later". Dracula is not operating on rational thinking, it's obvious: he's a wounded animal lashing out, but this wounded animal is a threat to humanity as a whole.

It's the tone of the show that is different. They never bring up the sheer cruelty of Dracula's overreaction, not even Alucard himself, who just halfheartedly says in episode 1 "well, just kill the people who were responsible!" (thanks man, you're really helpful). Dracula is not really planning anything: the death of starvation of vampirekind feels like an afterthought to him, because the poor thing just wants to die. Dracula is stuck in his Depression Chair not because he's an arrogant lord who can afford to defend himself through the Legions of Hell, the two superhuman knights that command them, and Death itself (or not, since the show didn't even give him that): no, he's just So Depressed and lethargic, as you said. Dracula is relegating everything to others, while patiently waiting for everyone to die. And the others clearly aren't doing a good job, since Carmilla can whisper in Hector's ear "hey prettyboy mind going to braila" and that's it, she seized control of the castle.

Dracula and Isaac knew that Carmilla was bad news. They gave her want she wanted anyway, and then had the balls to go all surprisedpikachu.jpg face when her plan proved to be for her benefit and their downfall.

Dracula: So if I let them go to Braila, they'll stop scheming and whining. Isaac: I think so. It will give Carmilla some power, but that's not a bad thing. Dracula: No. The War Room will speak to you and Hector in one voice instead of a dozen. Isaac: Indeed. And at the end of the day, you don't care. So long as the war continues. Dracula: *sighs* Fine, then. I'm tired, lsaac.

And while I certainly am happy to blame Isaac, the pretentious prick who thinks he's so smart, I'm not letting Dracula getting away with this. Again. Dude allowed Carmilla to insult him and Lisa in public, with her reasoning being literally "I gave you the opportunity to address everyone's concerns", and gave her less than a slap on the wrist. Everything about her screams "I'm only here to amuse myself and I don't respect any of you", and she is not stopped on the first day because uhhh plot reasons (she really should have been more subtle, but eh).

It's just... everything compounded that paints a poor picture of Dracula. He's a Depressed Man whose evil plan at this point is working on inertia (I don't think we see a single village being destroyed in S2, the most that happens is Carmilla making Hector send his Night Creatures to the Belmont Hold? Again, instead of another scene where Alucard is a cunt to Trevor, how about showing us the important shit that is going on?), and whose Depression allows everyone to do what they want because he just wouldn't command an ounce of respect anymore. And, and this is the important part, we're meant to see him as a deep, nuanced, tragic character because he's Sad.

Admittedly, I'm biased. One, Shankar himself painted Dracula as "not an actual villain", as if we're meant to feel sorry for the guy. So the authorial intent of stripping Dracula of his perceived "evil" is there.

Two, this is personal :P but the one thing, the one singular thing that snapped me out of my appreciation of IDW Sonic is precisely a similar instance:

Eggman, the dude who canonically managed to conquer the world some months prior and always had backup plans for his backup plans (Sonic Forces), is now a mindless buffoon that refused to think of a cure for his apocalyptic virus because... eh, couldn't be bothered. Even when his own plan miserably fails, he refuses to think of a cure out of childish stubborness.

And why is that so? Because Eggman canonically is a dumbass who "never, ever has a solid plan"? Nope, to prop up the OC, who is so much smarter than the main villain of the stupid games!

The shilling was so blatant I couldn't believe my eyes at how fast the writing had downgraded. (and then it got worse lol)

Funnily enough, Starline and Carmilla have a similar downfall. Starline ends up stealing Eggman's tech to do everything, his plan is straight up insensical (replacing Sonic and Tails with Surge and Kit, his evil androids that look and act nothing like the real deal, to subvert the hero/villain cycle???) and he dies like a jobber. Carmilla wakes up one day and decides to conquer the world ignoring the logicistical difficulties, so that she too can get the "wow she's so stupid for not thinking things through" treatment. So everything they did was for nothing. I'd say they're clever parallels, but that would need the writing to be clever.

And Frontiers also gave Eggman the "humanization" process by making him suddenly accept a creation of his as his daughter... while also making him completely ineffectual, relegating him to a corner of the plot while the real antagonist was using Sonic for its purposes. I watched NFCV not long after Frontiers came out. By that time I was tired of this.

So I suppose I'm rather... sensitive to this kind of writing, where the villain is downgraded either in villainy or effectiveness for the sake of either 1) making them more pitiable, or 2) allowing OCs to look better by comparison.

The Vanilla influence chart going a lil wild rn but

Winslow: Music writing autistic nervous/socially awkward weirdo who can be p vengeful.

Bee: Same monotone voice, silly mannerisms, love to eat.

Lio Fotia: Voice claim, kinda base a lot of the energy of Vanilla's appearance off of Lio and I'm sure people can tell, LMAO.

Young Neil: Airheadedness and awkward way of speaking.

Speed O' Sound Sonic: Prettyboy energy and boyfailureness...the way Sonic can be a good fighter but also very embarrassing to watch when he goofs up is very Vani. Vanilla would totally slip on dog shit the way Sonic did...

Thistle: Thistle is kind of a recent addition in the Vanilla inspo web, but I think he fits best in the college days category of Vanilla's personality. Very much doing his best to please others at the risk of his own health and mental stability. Also I have based angry expressions Vani makes off of Thistle's, they're very good. I guess his anger is also something I take inspo from.

And I finally finished up this batch of OCs too!!! The members of the Gladiatoria guild! Again click the pics for a better view :p

Gladiatoria, also known as the warrior’s guild, is almost completely comprised of the flashiest glory-seeking types, so you can imagine they’re fairly competitive, making them another formidable rival guild for the main cast. In fact, Gladiatoria is currently ranked as the #1 guild, even though it’s relatively new. Most likely because of the incredibly strict (to put it lightly) regiment of the guildmaster, Mars. It really takes a certain type of person to not be chewed out in this rigorous process. How long is this system really sustainable though?

wow. you had quite a busy few days. i'm tired just imagining it =P, but i'm happy you had fun and got to spend the days in a way you wanted. it's important to take time to do that. (even if it requires ample painkillers, lol) may you recover quickly. <3 ^__^ again, i'm glad you enjoyed the ficlet, and the additional slight shade of a scene. as for a continuation, of course! write it! you write such beautifully poetic angst; anything you could create would be most excellent.

honestly, SO MUCH busier than usual. i'm still paying for it lol but it was worth it :)

i just left a comment on your gorgeous little FIC ON AO3 that quotes all my favourite parts and gushes over the glorious angst and the wonderful characterization. bc BRUH? soso good.

again, a hundred thousand thank yous to you for being so very kind <333

when i'm not so tired, i hope i can write a wee continuation—and be able to do your wonderful piece justice. i've been drifting through the ocean of creative block on my raft made of sponge for a while, now, and i've not written anything (or made art) for harringrove specifically for an age x'0 (special apology to those of you who were following my cherry bomb series; i do still intend to finish it, one day!)

till then, i love you kind nonny <3

cassidy xp

EDIT: i promise i will make a fic rec post over on my harringrove sideblob @prettyboy-like-you when i have re-charged!
