Changes ✨

I'm going to start posting Kurt, Blaine, and Klaine gifs from other creators in addition to my own stuff

If you want to be reblogged, feel free to tag #klainegifs

I'll still be making my own gifs but how many I make will probably fluctuate week to week depending on how much time I have

You can still send requests

Thanks for being here!!

not me looking forward to finally have a free weekend in forever only to get a call from an old school friend and his sweet girlfriend who I haven’t talked to since september randomly asking me out to dinner and a musical show tonight

#😭 like I’m so clearly in another depressive episode and miss my silly little me time on my blog and in photoshop and stuff but #I KNOW this is good for me in the long run. I SHOULD force myself to go out #but it’s also so fucking draining to just. look forward to it I'm so out of (social) energy #ugh fuck it I’m gonna have a good evening with these two people that are genuinely sweet to me #we're not doing 2021/22 annie again #also hi I'm alive #I'll answer some asks when I'm on the train to berlin later #and queue tomorrow

D&D Vampirism & the Results of Regenerative Abilities

A small note:

I’ve posted about both Elder Scrolls and D&D on this blog, and I’m pretty sure I’ve already written some headcanons about TES’s portrayal of vampirism. What’s described here is only for my D&D world building, Barovia/General Ravenloft in particular, where the condition is generally treated much more like a curse than in the Elder Scrolls franchise, where it’s a contracted illness. I won’t promise that I will or won’t write about TES vampirism, as i think it’s fun, it’s not something I find fitting for the Domains of Dread.

This post contains spoilers for the heavily modified version of Curse of Strahd I will be eventually running, and spoilers for the novel I, Strahd. Changes from the RAW 5e module include:

Alek is back! He’s not having a good time. 

Escher is Van Richten’s lost son. It’s not that important to this essay, but I do mention their shared eyesight problems in passing.

Shout out to @mx-lamour and their fanfic "What have I done?", for being the reason I finally sat down and wrote this all out. 

An Introduction to Vampirism & Wound Recovery in Undeath:

Whether described as a curse or blessing, Vampirism is a magical condition, one that has a number of effects on the patient’s natural recovery/healing process, and by extension, the development of scars throughout one’s unlife. While none of the information here is intended to impact gameplay and balance, it can have an influence over roleplay and certainly does in character design. Flavor is free, and I want it all.

Becoming a vampire is akin to pressing pause on one’s life and body, stopping the aging process, but not reversing it. For example, no more of Strahd’s hair will turn gray, but the streaks that are there will never change back to black. Escher’s eyesight and the myopia inherited from his father are impacted by age, getting worse over time. While being turned provided him with some new dark vision, he will remain nearsighted to the same extent he was upon death. The march of time has stopped, but that doesn’t mean it can be reversed. 

Scar tissue is subject to the same forces, and old scars obtained during life will stop fading, remaining just as visible or unapparent as they did upon the body’s death. Unhealed wounds will repair themselves only once regeneration begins, but are subject to the same factors as other wounds obtained post mortem.

General Post Mortem Wounds and Scaring Trends:

While there is some variation in these trends, there are three main degrees to which wounds will leave a lasting impact.

Minor wounds don’t last. These are the results of unsilvered weaponry, mild damage from running water, and necrotic magic. Very little is in the way of the regeneration and healing process, so there are less chances for something to go wrong, such as debris entering the wound, or the injury to scab over, and increase the chances of a scar forming. On the off chance one does form, it usually vanishes within an hour at the latest.

Most magical damage provides the same level of regenerative difficulty as that of sivered weapons and most instances of water damage. Silver and water, both considerable weaknesses of vampires, react poorly with the dark magic of a vampire’s curse, and interfere with it’s influences over the body. Similarly to those described prior, these scars will fade with time, simply taking longer, usually over the course of a couple days, or several weeks at most. 

Sunlight will cause the most dramatic injuries, leaving burns over the exposed skin, and healing to form scars that never fade.

Turning Wounds:

Turning wounds are usually bites, the injuries that kill someone as they become undead, and the place of the curse’s transference. Given the nature of the wound, magic doesn’t make the wounds particularly easy to heal, even with the assistance of vampiric regeneration, which is usually what heals them.

Unlike other wounds that result in varying scar types and will reflect the type of damage when applicable, turning wounds usually lave behind contracture scars, where the skin has tightened over the wound in the healing process, giving the impression of skin stretched over the injury. It results in much more obvious scar tissue that can sometimes cause the individual pain, both due to the nature of the scar type, and the magical influences.

While most turning wounds are bite marks, such as those on the necks of Alek and Escher, they can take the form of other injuries, such as the numerous arrow marks across Strahd’s torso and chest.

Different Types of Vampires & Exceptions to the Trends:

The patterns here assume that the subject described is a vampire spawn, a common type of vampire within Ravenloft and Barovia in particular. Consumption of blood will have an impact on healing speed, where greater access to blood will speed up the process, and under feeding can drag out the process for months or longer. However, differences in the nature of one’s curse can manifest as much more dramatic differences in healing ability.

Failed Spawn - Alek Gwilym:

For some reason, the curse didn’t transfer right. In the case of Alek, his blood was already used to reanimate someone, and the Dark Powers forbid Strahd from ever having a good time. Alek just got caught in the crossfire.

Technically they use the Nosferatu stat block but that’s behind the DM screen, not in game.

Turning wounds on failed spawn don’t heal properly, leaving open wounds that won’t bleed, but can be opened up further, and can cause significant pain if not kept clean or become irritated.

The Dark Powers hate you in particular - Strahd von Zarovich:

Aside from turning wounds, any scar will fade with time, including severe sunburns.

Injuries resulting from critical hits will have lasting impacts, such as vision or movement issues, punishment for mistakes in combat.

It needs some work, but this is inspired by the parts of Strahd’s relationship with Barov I’ve been able to flesh out. It needs some work still, but the man taught Strahd mistakes have lasting consequences, either in a material sense, or Barov holding failures over Strahd.

#so sunlight and running water both deal 20 pts of damage per round but I consider sunlight much more thematically significant in Barovia #I considered drawing stuff for this #but I realized that i have way too much to draw already and i needed to get everything out as fast as possible #spider's dming tag #curse of strahd #cos #strahd von zarovich #spider chatter #world building #dnd #d&d #vampire #vampirism #its almost midnight as I'm writing this (gonna add this to the queue for tomorrow) #sleep well everyone (: #long post #not art

ice cream ✨always✨ makes everything better!!!!

#like today… i had a seriously horrible very bad day :( #so i went out to buy like $20 worth of ice cream and now both my wallet and heart feel lighter than before!!!!! #ok fr though i needa rant about my day here in the tags just to get it all off my chest in case i snap at the interns tomorrow lol #this morning one of the mfing titration machines kept giving wonky results >:( #so i just filled its stupid job queue thing with tons of repeats so that it could just run on its own while i did other things instead #then this intern came in and said ‘i’ll take care of these few machines!!!’ and yanked the probe out of the test solution… #all while the thing was still running ಠ‿ಠ and welp time wasted? time wasted. #and this other titration units kept giving invalid blank values for the entire day which sucked bc it was our best unit >:( #then this higher up lady checked the machine and found precipitates in the burette. yeah too bad she only found it like an hour before 5 ಠ‿ಠ #that machine worked properly after it was cleaned out though. as expected of our best unit~ #but while those 2 units were deceased there were 2 other units that were up and running #except this random maintenance guy halted one of the unit’s runs to do some pointless check and wasted good ol’ testing time for nothing >:( #all’s fine! we still had one unit!! :)))) right??? :)))) #…yeah no. while i was out submitting some results during the last hour of the workday the computer mfing restarted itself #i came back from the dude’s office to see the computer on the lock screen. ‘haha very funny who locked this?’ i thought as i keyed in the pw #oh *no* it restarted itself. while the units were mid-run. in other words the samples had to be re-keyed in、 #the then-currently running samples had to be reweighed，and i still don’t know who restarted the computer >:( #to top it all off，that intern from earlier kept wandering over to pat my back and ask ‘are you okay?’ #pls i literally hate human contact pls don’t touch me you’re making this worse ಥ‿ಥ #call me ungrateful but i was pretty close to snapping on her. sorry intern. you’re the capable intern too… #unlike that intern who dropped part of the equipment into the waste container while she was supposed to be washing it >:( #i hate titration soooooooo much :( i can’t wait to try out extra dangerous titration tomorrow :( #i get to play with acids this time i think? sounds like a recipe for disaster if you ask me— #anyway sorry if you read all that lmao. stay hydrated and eat tons of ice cream for a good time ok? #mona monday

two is a crowd is genuinely one of the best most hard hitting sns recovery fics i’ve ever read and in my opinion one of ur most gut wrenching works (coming from a long time reader 😙) i just want u to know how much ur work means to me no one else can truly capture their essence like u do and this is the one fic i’ve been searching for all my years in the fandom - perfect mix of them simultaneously being in love but also healing from and with one another !!! the once a month update schedule hurts my heart cuz i would greedily finish it all in one go if i could but damn if it’s not the best part of my month!!

#idk how to write this #i've been debating for hours if i should say anything at all #because writing things down makes shit Real #but i figured i should just say that i don't know how active i'm gonna be after my queue runs out tomorrow #my older sister is passing away very suddenly #she's only 46 #she's a twin #there's nothing to do for her #i am terrified about what this is going to do to my dad #and i have to be present for the rest of my siblings #this is happening only four days after my brother moved out of state #and now he's turning around and coming right back #he's a mess #i don't know how to Process or cope with anything like this #it's been a few hours since i've heard an update from anyone #but all i know is they're turning off her life support #if they haven't already #so i guess i have a lot of grief coming my way and trying to help keep my family stable #i might delete this later but for now #i felt like i should get it out #idk what else to do
