#whether she'd feel comfortable or horrified at the prospect of a vampire cannibal

[variantia]

BELLUM.   ok but to be fair to Red Embrace Lo, there might be one person she could help and possibly get help from, at least in some small sense

and don’t laugh when I say this ...

Lazarus

sure, she registers as human to him and he’s pissed beyond belief about most of the rest of humanity, he doesn’t give two shits about them

but he’s also much less starstruck regarding Ash than everyone else is

he HATES them mainly because they took his place, they’re living what was supposed to be HIS better life

ok sure, he will talk to them if they ally with him and strike up that awful deal to let him keep murdering and eating vampires, and he’ll tell them his life story

but unless there’s some AU or some shit going on off-camera, he never actually gets THAT CLOSE to them, he still doesn’t care for them aside from a grudging respect

the man lives in the Goddamn sewer with half a face because he tried to blow his brains out and he only really thinks he’s a real person because he’s ‘damaged’ now

if Lo managed to find him, I genuinely don’t think he would kill her

he’s interested in eating vampires, not humans, and he would really only kill a human if he thought they were some kind of threat to him

and most humans aren’t, even if they tell other people, because who believes there’s actually a cannibal in the sewers who eats vampires which supposedly don’t exist ?   he’s pretty sure someone would be thrown in a loony bin if they tried to tell someone THAT story

he’d be a tough nut to crack actually getting him to change, especially because he would have a hell of a time rejoining society and doesn’t even really WANT to rejoin society ...

but I think he would tolerate Lo’s presence better than anyone else’s

and, for once, someone prefers having HER around to having ASH around

it’s kind of a hollow victory because he’d prefer almost anyone to Ash, but here’s someone who doesn’t really give a fuck about Ash, is pissed at Saoirse, and has no love for either Markus, Heath, or Randal

if he were going to build a real connection with anyone, it would absolutely be Lo.   he finds her maybe kind of sappy, maybe kind of desperate, maybe kind of lonely ... but infinitely more tolerable than anyone else he has the option to spend any significant length of time with.

#cannibalism tw #suicide mention tw #is that a fucking gremlin ?? ( OOC. ) #(( I MEAN whether or not she would be willing to spend time with him depends heavily on like #whether she'd feel comfortable or horrified at the prospect of a vampire cannibal #... vampibal ??? #BUT ANYWAY he would fucking absolutely be the ONE person to prefer her company over Ash #and despite all the gory shit he's involved with I think that would at least mean something to her #because it's like oh she actually does matter to someone more than Ash does #even if it's the stinky sewer cannibal former child star she matters to him a hell of a lot more than Ash ))
