I've been following you for years, since the peridot/lapis fanfiction era, and so far, you've always managed to hit the goldmine of shows I'm also interested in (The woes of being a gay girlie and finding every bit of media involving it ig), so it was a nice surprise to see todays fanart of Vaggie/Charlie as first kill, cal and juliette fit them so much, especially backstory wise, vaggie being an exterminator, cal being a monster hunter, Charlie being the princess of hell, juls being the daughter of a very important vampire family, just ughwbrbw so good,,,,, I had such high hopes for that show, especially with all the symbolism intertwined with the dreams, only for Netflix to add it to another pile of wlw graves. But yayyyy to the fanart!!!
Ngl I haven't watched First Kill yet. I didn't even know Juliette was from a noble vampire family. I just thought their dynamic was very chaggie. Yay for happy accidents!

Do you have any good fic recs for Charlie/Vaggie? Cause I first watched this show like 3 weeks ago, have watched it twice more since, but if I have to search through the fics on Ao3 myself I’ll need bleach to clean out my eyes
I gotchu!
First lemme do a shameless self promo. I have this one pre-hotel fic that's already finished.
Tumblr media
SquigglyAverageJoe is my favorite chaggie author rn. Their best is Igual, which is a different take on a pre-hotel premise, especially since it was written when only the pilot was out and bits and pieces of lore about the characters were known. I'll let my review in my bookmark speak for me, bcuz I've fangirled enough about it there
Tumblr media
That fic can be really really heavy and triggering tho, and super horny, so if that's not your thing the next best thing by that author is this bakery/flower shop AU. Super fun!
Tumblr media
Whitebeltwriter is an amazing writer, and her fic about Vaggie trying to propose to Charlie is a lot of fun.
Tumblr media
The Fall by Sephstone is also a pre-hotel fic, but has a characterization and dynamic that I find really uniquely written, where Charlie is openly smitten and stupidly eager, while Vaggie is like a newly adopted feral cat who refuses to be domesticated. I dont typically rec unfinished fics, but the interactions are too fun to pass

Idk how much of a book worm you are but the woman who wrote the Wednesday novelization, Tehlor Kay Mejia, has original works that are really really good as well!!!
Specifically: We Set The Dark On Fire. A political thriller duology with enemies to lovers lesbians. She's so so amazing and deserves all the attention in the world.
Anyway thank you byeeeeeeeee
I do love reading, though I haven't bought a new book in yikes maybe a year. "Political" and "thriller" aren't my kinda genres tho.... In books, that is. For those kinda stuff i need visual aid because my attention span is ass. Do you have any book recs that's more on the lowkey stuff and much more introspective? Wholesome but with substance? Fredrik Backman is my fave author. That kinda stuff. And I've been craving for some lighthearted and funny romcoms. The last sapphic book I read was "I Kissed Shara Wheeler" by Casey McQuiston, which is great! Would def recommend. But I wish we got to see them directly interact more, tho I understand it just comes with the premise.
I did wanna look into what Tehlor Kay Mejia has out. Maybe I'll find something I'll like.

My take on jealous Charlie headcanons is that Charlie doesn't typically act out and would take the opportunity of hyping up her girlfriend when she finds someone also attracted to Vaggie. That is, as long as that person doesn't make any uncomfortable advances, otherwise all hell breaks lose.
Decided to use Emily and Velvette here because:
If Emily is meant to be a deliberate Heaven equivalent of Charlie, then it wouldn't be too farfetched to assume that they could share the same taste in women. Makes me wonder what could've happened if Vaggie never got cast out of Heaven and somehow got close to Emily instead.
Two-thirds of the Vees so far have an unhealthy obsession with a Hazbin close to Charlie that they also sorta parallel. Velvette is the only one without a personal connection to the Hotel so far, and Vaggie shares a similar role in the Hotel as Velvette does with the Vees

Nevermore (Refrain) ch. 1
There is a saying that history repeats itself. Rather ridiculous, really. Nothing ever truly repeated itself. Rather, the themes of history repeated. This was something that Wednesday Addams had to come to terms with when attending Nevermore Academy. She had loathed the idea of repeating her mother's history while there, but learned that such a thing was impossible. What instead happened was that she repeated certain themes that her mother went through.
Now she and Enid had a daughter, Vega. Would Vega's future be a refrain of the music that had guided her mother and grandmother before her, or would she refrain and forge her own path? Only time will tell...
Chapter 1: A very young Vega asks her mom Enid an innocent question, a question that would be answered with a gentle lie. It would not be until years later that Vega would discover the truth in an evening made terrible by awful timing.
Found on AO3, 1320 words.
For @barblaz-arts. Thank you for all the wonderful art and I am so sorry that it took me this long to write this!

Bit of a weird question but can I see some of your sketches of art? I just want to see how you get the shapes and everything so perfect. Thanks.
Sure! Id be happy to. But, like... unfinished stuff? or initial sketches of my finished stuff?
I'm not really sure which you mean... Guess I'll do both?
So these are the base sketch layer compared to the finished piece. i actually do lil circles and crosses all the time, but i usually do the sketches in one layer as much as i can, so they're erased in a few of these

For the heck of it, here are some sketches I haven't finished yet too

so you know how I drew Charlie and Vaggie in the same pose Juliette and Calliope have in one of their posters a week ago? Well, I figured I might as well make a proper First Kill AU
