i also love to think that Geoffrey wouldn’t hate Jonathan at all if he weren’t a vampire. maybe he’d be a little bitter at him being rich and all, but he’d definitely respect the fact that Jon went to France and saved lives in the war. i think they’d make good colleagues/partners in the Skal plague investigation (and then make out violently, of course). might even write an AU like that

What do you think would happen if a nation gave blood or organ transplant? I like the idea that their blood/tissue would conform to the person it's given to and in some cases make them healthier (though they may get some...odd side effects, like knowing the emotions of those close by or a strange craving for the nation's favorite food). Mostly I like the idea of Arthur not drinking for a month so he can give it away, slamming himself on the operation table and saying "Let's hurry this up, I want a drink." Cause their organs will grow back so it's no big deal, just might take a few days.

.... isn’t the “organ donations can make you more similar to the donator, including taste in food” thing actually scientifically documented? not to that degree, but still. that would totally work as a headcanon. 

but okay. I have tried to answer this for like an actual hour. partly because, uh, not to be super cringe, but you caught me neck-deep in a Hetalia/Vampyr crossover where the character 'Arthur' in Vampyr (who never actually appears in-game) actually refers to Arthur Kirkland. this is a problem because your ask that was supposed to be just Hetalia is now fueling this crossover. 

without the crossover, I’m split between like. I really like your idea that the nations just don’t have blood types etc, and that the donated material would just conform to the host. but I also lean in the opposite direction, in that I don’t think normal human beings even could receive donations from a country? like... Arthur’s blood type is probably some immortal eldritch bullshit rather than like, type O, and receiving it would just kill most human beings. but my answer with the Vampyr crossover is that it straight up makes you temporarily immortal, which I suppose is technically compatible with “make them healthier” lol. which I’ll put under the cut because no one came here for Vampyr content. >_>

re: Vampyr. okay. I know no one asked but okay. at one point. without giving away any major spoilers for the game. at one point in Vampyr, a character who is at one point referred to as the Defender of Britain drinks the “blood of Arthur” and becomes the single most difficult boss in the entire game, bar none. mind you, his competition includes, without spoilers, vampire-werewolves and a character that is basically the male version of Lady Dimitrescu. he is 100% a mortal human being and he can still wipe the floor with all of them. 

and the reason my headcanon is “Arthur’s blood makes you briefly immortal” is because upon drinking this blood, it initially doesn’t look like this character changes at all? because it doesn’t make him a vampire or anything, he just kinda seems to get like, a caffeine boost... until you do something like [checks notes] shoot him point-blank in the chest with a sawed-off shotgun or make all of the blood in his body literally boil and combust and he shrugs it off like it’s no big deal. like it’s never explicit that the blood gives brief immortality, but even with game mechanics/health making human enemies unrealistically tough, I don’t remember any of them being anywhere near “shoot him 12 times with a shotgun and make his blood explode via vampire magic” tough. 

like good lord, he nearly kicked my ass on easy mode, and he’s legendary in the fandom for being an absolute fucking nightmare if you’re doing a pacifist run (ie hardest mode). and just to add insult to injury, he fights you using a medieval broadsword and a crossbow. literally everyone else, including the player, uses modern weapons and/or vampire powers, but Geoffrey "Defender of Britain” McCullum can and will kick your ass with a fucking sword, your shotgun and fancy vampire magic be damned. and I, for one, think Arthur Kirkland would be incredibly proud of him. >_>

Just got the good ending of Vampyr. Definitely recommend to any fan of vampire media.

Now to up the difficulty and go on a vigilante justice run, and then a genocide run.

#also Lady Ashbury is so fucking pretty omg #I have a thing for goth red heads apparently #spoiler but the scene where Jonathan turned mccullem had NO RIGHT TO BE THAT GAY #still loved it that’s not a bad thing #it’s just prime enemies to lovers material lol #vampyr #vampyr dontnod

I may or may not have made another French vampire oc. This is Isabelle. She heavily draws from old Merriell designs before I pushed him completely into tes and made Beauregard for regular vampy stuff.

I'm planning on using her in a proper fic I'm writing for good olde DontNod's Vampyr!

#shes my beloved u see. #Vampyr #Vampyr Game #vampyr ocs #dontnod games #dontnod vampyr #ALSO giving her tags for my original vampire stuff bc I'll probably use her there too #bloody nights #bn art #bn ocs #Isabelle Dumas #my art #digital art #artists on tumblr #my ocs #original art

it’s probably The Most Obvious Take of All Time but

there is no way Jonathan isn’t queer. like there is certainly no way a straight white British man in early 20th century England is so accepting of women, people of color, and gays. like bffr

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! 🫀💓

it's not good, scoob. this is AC Valhalla with one of the few okay reshade presets I could find. Ubisoft is worth €3.57 billion btw. they're an AAA studio.

compare with Vampyr (also with reshade) by Dontnod, a company worth €112.6 million.

like WHAT. I mean I cannot emphasize enough that yes, I am using reshade -- this is as good as I can get these games to look. and Vampyr blows ACV out of the fucking water.

I was gonna do a little bit of virtual photography for character reasons since both games visit London in different time periods but what's the point
