being a fan of a book series that doesn’t have a tv show sometimes is actually so frustrating

like what do you mean I can’t make a sad edit of Shane Collins to that Mama’s Boy trend ?!

#like I’m WRITING it as a script but it’s not enough #the morganville vampires #Morganville

[methotrex8]

against my better judgement, I'm watching the morganville web series and y'all weren't kidding

the actors are trying; main cast is doing fairly well with what they're given, but the pacing and writing are just 😬😬😬

#theyre cramming so much into each episode without any effort to flesh out rhe characters #and the qUiRkY writing is so cringe omg #the morganville vampires

[galarealm]

Update!!!! Here all are the Morganville Vampires characters I drawn!!

This is how I saw the characters at least.

What yall think?

finished my morganville vampires reread so here’s some rankings and misc thoughts

I didn’t really note anything down as I was reading so this is just misc thoughts off the top of my head for the most part. next time I reread I’m defo gonna keep note of as many thoughts as possible and figure out definitive rankings and stuff and ramble on and on to the three ppl who also post about this series

book ranking

two separate lists bc I reread books 1-5 back in mid 2022 and that’s way too long ago for me to remember how I feel about them in comparison to the books I’ve read over the last month

feast of fools (4)

lord of misrule (5)

the dead girls’ dance (2)

midnight alley (3)

glass houses (1)

carpe corpus (6) / last breath (11)

ghost town (9) / black dawn (12)

fade out (7) / daylighters (15)

bite club (10) / fall of night (14)

kiss of death (8) / bitter blood (13)

characters

top four

myrnin - literally obsessed with him I don’t even know how to explain it, I wouldn’t say I read the series JUST for him but if he wasn’t in it I would like it significantly less and would’ve reread a lot less times

amelie / oliver - both soooo interesting, love moments where they show the less big bad vamp sides of themselves, makes me crazy

sam - gone too soon I’m crying

glass house gang

claire / eve - queens

michael - mild annoy moments but I love him

shane - I do really like him but also he’s so annoying sometimes and it gets old quickly

others

miranda - claire mentioning how miranda starts to blossom towards the end of the series and seems finally happy is very sweet but overall I find most of her appearances annoying like I dread seeing her name pop up and it’s a big reason why bitter blood isn’t my fave

monica - has interesting moments for sure and gets better throughout the series but overall idrc

jason - flip flops between good and evil so much idek what’s going on, love him in kiss of death

morley - what I’d give for a small series set in blacke

naomi - coulda been so interesting, gay rights

hannah - we love her

theo- kinda makes me uncomfortable but it’s fine

jesse - actually love her

richard - okay

frank - evil but has interesting moments

ada - very annoying but it’s not all her fault and I like the drama

duos

claire & myrnin - truly no other duo matters, as friends, as more than friends, idc, I love whatever they have going on

claire & amelie - love the idea that amelie kinda sees claire as her daughter and goes on her etc sometimes, actually kills me

amelie & sam - I’m crying

amelie & oliver - the ultimate enemies to lovers kinda

michael & eve - very cute, love them

claire & shane - very cute, love them even tho shane is a bit of a prat sometimes

myrnin & jesse - the thing of jesse being around making myrnin not be as into claire makes my clyrnin obsessed brain sad but it makes my myrninxjesse brain very happy bc I love them, I wish there was so much more of them. the midnight bites stories fed me a little and it was great

misc series thoughts

monica is kinda comically evil in book one and it’s a bit weird like girl calm down. same with whichever of her friends is evil too like can we relax idfk

the ‘mime fangs’ thing is a lil cringe

the series is SO obsessed with claire being 16 and it drives me crazy like eve michael and shane act like they’re a decade older than her and it’s like omg stio being so dramatic

I do not care about captain obvious

what happened to the two officers that claire is friendly with early in the series i feel like they basically are replaced by hannah like where tf do they go

I do not care about claire’s parents like please go away. god bless her dad’s heart condition or whatever is wrong with him get those twats out of that town. also the whole being protective over claire about shane thing does my head in like idc idc IDC

the stuff with bishop is absolutely some of the best stuff in the series (minus every single myrnin scene) like yeahhhhhh

oliver being forced to hang around with everyone in kiss of death is 10/10

oliver running a coffee shop kills me like omfg I love him he does not need to be doing that

I would sell my soul for any information on morley and the librarian who’s name I can’t remember’s relationship like AHHHHH

I don’t dislike the pov changes later in the series, I think they work pretty well for the most part tbh

shane following claire to college is INSANE behaviour like genuinely what the actual fuck is that

I love sam so much he makes me so sad

fuck the ghost hunters I do not care

shane’s reluctance to get used to michael being a vampire is annoying sorry like I get it, he grew up hating them blah blah blah. grow up idc

I think I like that michael ends the series as a human. him having a moment when he was out in the sun nearly made me cry

the fact oliver is hinted to be oliver cromwell lives in my mind rent free and idk why bc I didnt even know who oliver cromwell was til I read these books. I also saw a thing earlier today that said jesse is meant to be lady jane grey which is fun

idk why these children are so determined to marry each other like omg. I do think the whole vampires and humans marrying each other is drama thing is interesting so I’m like okay it makes sense for michael and eve to be determined to get married purely to show that part of things to us but ultimately I’m like.. why does it matter if you can’t get married. like first of all, it’s paper, second of all you’re 12. and shane and claire getting married in the final book is like okay good for you I guess idk

I genuinely could read another 15 books of morganville fuckery liike I love these books an insane amount it’s not even funny

I defo had more thoughts and I’ll probs think of more stuff to add to this once I post it but it’s fine I’ll just save them all for whenever I reread next which might be near the end of this year or might be early next year or might be even longer depending on how well I’m able to distract myself with other things, bc as much as I love this series more than I love myself and wanna spend all my life engrossed in it, it also makes me feel a lil sad and takes over my brain and the lack of fandom is genuinely painful. so the more distance I can make the better I fear

Can Myrnin ride a bike?

Like, he can't drive worth anything, but I'm debating for either fan fiction or RP purposes on if he can ride a bike.

Cause in my mind, this dude rides a bike fine, but gets distracted by the smallest thing and then ends up face first into a lamp post and I feel this fact in my bones.

#🩵 ૮꒰ྀི ୨ ៸៸៸ ୧ ྀི꒱ა ; TAG GAME hii !! i was tagged by @threeking ( thank you !!!! ) for Get To Know Me Tag Game! !!

The last song I listened to:

Game Over by Falling in Reverse and World's Smallest Violin by AJR are my recent repeats (Hmm, I'm sensing a theme here.)

Favorite color or colors:

My favorite usually falls somewhere in here or black lol (I'm also really obsessed with the bi colors lmao)

Last TV show or film I watched:

Last show was Demon Slayer: Entertainment District and the last movie was Howl's Moving Castle (I think. I'm not sure. I don't really watch stuff lol. It's been a while.)

Currently watching:

Nothing, lol. My TV is usually off and I don't have internet or cable of any kind to watch or stream. We have DVDs we live off of but I just don't have patience to sit and watch anything lol)

Currently reading:

Most of my time is spent working, driving or taking care of my 5 and 6 year old kids. I choose to spend my downtime writing or gaming rather than reading (which isn't much lol). However, I'm currently trying to get through the Morganville audio books.

Sweet, spicy or savoury:

Savoury. I'm a garlic fanatic.

The last thing I searched + the last thing I searched online for writing purposes:

One was for my writing, the other was because my children asked me to look it up. ("Ask the lady in your phone." They said.)

Can you guess which is which?

Current obsession:

Collecting and organizing pokemon cards. It's so bad 🤣😭

(Bonus) Current game:

Diablo 3, Stardew Valley or Pokemon Shield are my current game obsessions.

I'm tagging @hoolay-boobs @oddplantparent @worldsfromhoney @solitary-sapphic anyone who wants to play!

Sorry if you don't like tag games. I've never really done one and this was kinda fun!(:

[whenitgetsdark]

guess who’s discovering in her twenties that she’s dyslexic ?!

For example: I have read every Morganville book like ten times & for almost 14 years I’ve been saying Myrin instead of Myrnin. My brain has literally been blocking out another n in his name & it wasn’t until someone pointed it out to me that the veil was lifted. AFTER 14 YEARS.

#this happens more often than I care to admit #i black out entire words & letters lmao #the morganville vampires

[methotrex8]

Back on my Morganville shit:

Claire as a character is so funny to me. She's so smart that she went to college at 16 and tested out of most of her classes. She is so dumb for sticking her nose into everything that's going on in an extremely dangerous town ran by the undead. She has a huge crush on her roommate. She has a crush on an ancient mentally ill vampire, but hasn't acknowledged it yet. She would rather die than miss class, and I mean that literally. She was almost killed by a group of girls at school. She is tutoring those same exact girls in economics. Everyone in Morganville except for like 5 people wants to murder her.

#the morganville vampires #claire is the most character of all time #i love her

[galarealm]

Finished reading a 15 book series. I'm working on a mega review for my YouTube.

I will share the art of each character I draw later if yall interested

The series is called the Morganville Vampires.

I did not expect midnight bites to feature a story about time travel and shane and myrnin talking about sex but here we are

#the morganville vampires #morganville vampires #myrnin #I caved and skipped to all the myrnin stories SUE ME #they were all very good #I always wonder how much stuff rachel had written before she died #that’s just like saved somewhere #potentially never to get released anywhere #not just myrnin stuff #but morganville in general #anyways

My temptation to just start posting about my version of Morganville Vampire lore on main with 0 care if it's 1) completely made up, 2) misremembered, 3) side-eyed canon, or 4) actually real.

The fandom is non-existent and hungry anyway, so I feel like no one would care. But my sudden muse for the whole idea is very real.
