#( interactions ☆ viago. )

[niofo]

i'm basically just naming all the characters from tevinter nights, but since we already have confirmation that irelin and strife are representing veil jumpers, how about: teia and viago representing crows, myrna and audric representing mortalitasi, evka and antoine representing the wardens. wouldn't that be cool. and then to have at least something different, have lacklon representing lords of fortune and vaea represent the inquisition. i don't think we know enough about shadow dragons to point out anyone, but would perhaps dorian and maevaris be involved?

[grey-mattered]

i love characters/ships with 10 minutes of screen time or less💓

There’s always a certain element of Feeling Left Out to me even in creaturey vampirey enjoyer communities, because it feels like there’s this venn diagram of Creature Enjoyment where on the one hand it’s like they’re scary and dangerous and that’s the appeal, and on the other hand it’s like they’re misunderstood and I feel an affinity with the creature because I feel misunderstood too.

And I think a lot of Creature Enjoyers are probably somewhere in the intersection of the venn diagram, but I think I’m almost exclusively on the latter side of it. Tell tumblr you’re neurodivergent without telling tumblr you’re neurodivergent (:

hello! just wondering, did the material that came out today reassure you about Rook as a protagonist? I'm pleasantly surprised by what we've seen of how a Crow pc interacts with Viago and Teia, I would not have expected the two of them to be so familiar with Rook

Hello hello dear listener! I'm feeling a lot better about it actually, while my trepidation won't be completely quieted until I've sunk a few hours into the game. I do really like how [redacted] is Crow Rook's boss and he genuinely seems to care for them. It makes me wonder if they'll have one on one conversations

As a Shadow Dragon people throughout Minrathous recognize Rook and call attention to who they are. I'm assuming that carries over to the other factions and their corresponding locations and that's a detail I really like

Though I'm still a little worried Rook is going to be a sound board/therapist for the companions Tav style and that they're not going to have their own personal quest or detailed motivations like the companions outside of 'the world ending is bad because i live here' but I have an ao3 and a decent ability to write so I'll be having fun regardless

[vigilskeep]

As you pointed out earlier, Antivan Crow de Riva in the companion video is talking to Viago DE RIVA about getting reinforcements from the king. Now that we know Viago is our Talon… what are your thoughts on that interaction?

so we definitely know goddamn well that rook de riva KNOWS who viago’s daddy issues are about and they still decided to start that conversation. with their boss

[w1nged-v1ctory]

*SPOILERS FOR VEILGUARD!*

Like, potentially very serious story spoilers under the cut. You have been warned.

So, I was watching a review video to get a look at special interactions for a Crow Rook, which is what I was planning on playing, and I got a look at this shot:

This line is right after Rook returns with Lucanis, having been tasked by Caterina to free him from a Venatori prison. The duo return to where Caterina, Illario, Teia, and Viago had been waiting for them, and Caterina is the only one absent.

(Illario’s line above is in response to Lucanis asking “What happened here?” Illario slams a fist down on the table in frustration when he says it.)

We don’t necessarily get a look at what he’s reacting to, but if you’re like me, you can probably guess. This goes along with some other gathered-up shots of Rook offering Lucanis condolences for something, and Lucanis referring to a mission as “The last (Caterina) ever gave to me.”

So, theory time: While Lucanis is being broken out of the Venatori “Ossuary” where he is being held, Zara Renata takes it upon herself to kill (or capture, but probably kill) Caterina Dellamorte. So, that will presumably see the realization of the conflict between the Dellamorte cousins set up in Tevinter Nights over who will succeed her.

I have a few ideas as to why Caterina was taken specifically. The in-universe reason I’m tossing around is because the Venatori want a demon-possessed Lucanis as First Talon, presumably so that they could control the Crows through him. The writers reason hinges on a second theory: if there’s any part to Lucanis’ arc in which he has to come to terms with the fact that what his grandmother did to him was not okay, then I think that Caterina will be discovered in a similar state of imprisonment by the Venatori, instead of dead like the Crows initially presumed. Lucanis will have to choose whether to free her or kill her, supposedly resulting from the way Rook influences him.

This is all just a theory, and if y’all have any of your own to tack on here, I’d love to hear them!

Vlad, Viago and Deacon as parents headcanons [pt.2]

[Part 1] [Part 3]

Author’s note: I love writing this shit to a very unhealthy degree. I might make a oneshots out of this later. Also does anyone know Deacon’s nationality? Some say Polish, others say German. I’m still not sure.

Also, if some of you want pt. 3, please let me know what scenarios would you want me to explore specifically, because I am running out of ideas a bit…

When you first appeared in the house, Viago found some old suitcase in the attic and proposed that you’ll sleep in it, until they get you an actual casket.

You tried it, but couldn’t really slumber because of the constant nightmares and it was too scary to open the lid, because of the sun.

So you started sharing a coffin with Viago, at least until you felt calmer.

It resulted in him sacrificing a bit of his sleep to your rather constant tossing and turning, but he quickly got used to it.

He sang you German lullabies to put you to sleep or whispered some calming affirmations (you didn’t understand a word, but it was sweet).

He found these moments so precious, that he actually got upset, when you obtained your own coffin and started sleeping separately in the attic.

Since the attic was now technically your room, Vlad, Viago and Deacon decided to help you decorate it to your liking, so you went on the town basically robbing thrift stores and supermarkets by hypnotising the cashiers.

They helped you assemble the random ikea furniture you got, even though neither of you could understand the instructions on the box.

In your free time, you’ll often find yourself hanging around in Vladislav’s room, posing for his portraits. He likes your expressiveness, it really gives his paintings the right look. And so you won’t get bored sitting there for hours, he asks you about your life before you became a vampire.

You also speak a lot of Romanian together, because Vlad wanted you to know another language, so he only communicated to you in Romanian for a while and you unwillingly started to understand it with time.

If you miss your family, he will take you to your childhood home. Of course, you can’t really interact with them anymore, but you can at least watch and it might make you feel a bit better to know they are still living a good life and that they miss you just as much.

At one point all three of them realise, that you would benefit from some friends within your age group. So they take you out to an arcade pretty early in the evening.

Unfortunately, living with ancient vampires kind of killed any chance for your social skills to develop properly, so you ended up scaring a bunch of kids and getting very upset.

To compensate for it, Deacon called you along to watch videos on the laptop, that Stu set up. You accidentally stumbled upon Bill Nye reuploads and binged them together, because you thought he’s the smartest person to ever roam the earth.

All of them have some kind of a default nickname for you. Viago calls you “Mäuschen” (little mouse), Vlad calls you very simply “Child” and to Deacon you are “Rodent”.

Stu and Nick are kind of like uncles/siblings to you. When the three have to leave somewhere, they usually leave them to babysit you. You have a lot of fun together! Since all three of you still remember what it’s like to actually be a living and breathing human, you get to talk more about recent news and events, rather than reminisce about the past.

You are also the only person in the group, who can’t really steal your clothes from victims, since neither of the vampires is very keen on killing children. Mostly, they ask their newfound werewolf friends to pick something up for you during the day or steal it themselves during the night.

Considering you can’t go to a normal school, they decided to teach you at home. Vlad teaches you literacy and art, Viago teaches you sciences and history and Deacon teaches you actually important shit like hypnotising tax collectors, draining the blood of your victims into mason jars and looking cool as fuck.

If you call Viago “dad”, he will be over the goddamn moon. It’s like he accomplished a goal he didn’t even know he set.

If you call Vladislav your dad, for a moment he would almost feel this long forgotten warmth in his chest. It’s like his heart started to beat again.

If you refer to Deacon as “dad”, he will be very startled and confused at first. It’s a weird feeling for him to have someone trust him and depend on him so much. He won’t admit it, but he really loved that emotion.

The more you are around, the more they get into being parental figures.

WWDITS: Demystifying The Supernatural

It would be a crime to say < What We Do In The Shadows > is just a mockumentary about Vampires. In [Documentaries Part 1] I touched on how WWDITS both references and makes fun of the library of Vampire shows and movies. The lore about them and the secret society of the other monsters that lurks in the night.

Today, I want to cover how < What We Do In The Shadows: The Series > demystifies the idea of the world of the supernatural. But before that, let's talk vampires.

- Hope and Compassion is Gone -

When you Sold Out your Dream to the World

A crew of documentary cameramen has been granted access to a highly secretive society. They wore crucifixes and were guaranteed protection by the subjects.

In an undisclosed location in Staten Island. We follow Guillermo de la Cruz. Familiar of the vampire; Nandor The Relentless with married couple; Laszlo Cravensworth and Nadja of Antipaxos as well as Colin Robinson.

The crew documents the lives and hijinks of the Vampires. Watching as situations unfold. Revealing the many secrets of this once secretive and dark society of the supernatural.

The series is based on the world of the film. With cameos of vampires from other popular shows as well as the original trio in the movie. Viago, Deacon and Vladislav.

- This is My Hunting Ground -

Aside from showing the established world of the film. WWDITS introduces us to an ever expanding world of the universe in a natural way. The show introduces us to the Witches, Trolls, Werewolves, Zombies, Ghosts and more. Honoring their lore and tying their interactions loosely as a part of this dark community.

Such as Laszlo's cursed hat being tied to a witch, Colin dealing with an online troll being a real troll and the werewolves being in a relationship with a human who also has a vampire lover. Twilight style~ Each tie in is not just a fun cameo, but it also brings the other dark beings to life in this ever expanding world of creatures.

The world also introduces a new concept. The Energy Vampire via Colin Robinson. Without going into spoilers, Colin's breed looks human and shares a fraction of the strength found in vampires but bares no weakness as of yet. Energy Vampires feed by boring and enraging its victims. Thus, sapping the energy of the person.

What the show does brilliantly is showing the believability of this new breed. Colin feels like an actual person who existed and can actually be a threat if he wants too. His ability to selfishly make vampires and humans bored or enraged makes him a frighteningly real creature that humans have actually met in real life.

- My Tummy Feels Weird -

From a narrative perspective, WWDITS provides several different arcs for the characters respectively. One highlight that I'd like to mention is Guillermo's development as a familiar and as a person.

Over the first season, he went through this one-sided admiration and blind servitude towards his master to charting out a big twist of his real identity. The show displays the unglamorous side of his duty as a servant and the unfairness of the power dynamic.

For every familiar, their servanthood is paid with the promise of immortality and Guillermo is no different. At a young age, Guillermo dreamed of being a vampire but he is often mistreated or is ignored when he pressed the request to Nandor.

The show also displays a deeply rooted sadness through the vampires. For being creatures of immortality. All they ever do is distract themselves with killing, sex and fun. When left alone to their own devices, the vampires are hopelessly directionless.

The show also touches on the topic of how the old ways just don't fit in with everyone anymore. Such is with Nandor's problem solving skills via killing and total conquest or how the vampires as a whole have gotten soft with how they hunt.

On a progressive note, the show never openly declares the characters as queer or any of the sort. Despite being married. Laszlo and Nadja are open to being involved with other people or other vampires sexually.

The show displays the act of debauchery and cheating at its finest with shameless pride but also strengthens the idea of loyalty and love.

Nandor for example, used to own 37 wives and husbands but is actively looking for a true partner who cares for him. As the season progresses, we see that he actually cares about Guillermo as master and as a friend. Nandor's action could suggest that he wishes to not fulfill Guillermo's promise to save him from the torment of the curse.

What the show does well is, it breaks the mystique of the vampires as a bunch of incompetent idiots with no drive. Thus, becoming sloppy, outdated and all too roundabout about things that is both infuriating but charmingly hilarious.

- They have No Use for Your Song -

I gotta say though, for a show that mocks the existence of these creatures. WWDITS is a fun trip through and through. It adds to the development of this community but makes the darkness a lot more silly with how its subjects are down to their last braincell.

None of the vampires are good at keeping this world a secret and in fact, the idea that they would allow a documentary crew to follow them is a fallacy itself. Still, there's a certain charm to how they interact with each other and to the "crew".

It felt like seeing a dysfunctional and fun band of mates just taking the piss out of each other but is also being the most loyal helpers in times of crisis.

There is something for anyone who is interested in this show of the macabre in a critical but fun way and with 5 seasons strong. They don't seem to be slowing down anytime soon. But be warned;

They're Dead and Out of This World~

[bivampir]

we as society need more media where vampires interact with (and have strong opinions about) other vampire media. give me more of Lestat Claudia and Louis dying laughing at Nosferatu. more of Viago dressing up as Blade or Nick loving Twilight. more of Guillermo wanting to be a vampire bc he had a crush on Armand. if you make a media with vampires in it you need to make them aware of vampire media.

[crossdressingdeath]

I love that the Crows have a casino, by the way. Like, I've mostly been thinking about that first quest in terms of getting Lucanis and the interactions between de Riva, Viago and Teia but the Crows just have a casino! Called the Cantori Diamond, because the Crows are extremely unsubtle. It looks like we might be able to explore it at least a little too; it looks like there is a modelled interior, but on that first visit a cutscene triggers as soon as you enter so it's hard to say how much of the casino is available for exploring. I hope a lot of it, give me the fancy casino run by professional assassins.

General Gifts

Dawn in Antiva - [delawana | @the-rebel-archivist]. Oneshot.

Rating: T. (Andarateia Cantori/Viago de Riva) | In the wake of the Qunari occupation of Treviso, Viago de Riva is disgruntled that Antiva carried on with its festivals. Andarateia Cantori gives him a new perspective on another way to fight their enemies.

Rating: T. (Solas & Dorian Pavus) | Solas is a mystery to Dorian and he finds himself looking for the man's approval.

Rating: M. (Briala & Skinner)

From my prompt: maybe Skinner is secretly one of Briala’s own agents, even while she is a member of Bull’s Chargers. Or maybe Skinner thinks Briala’s a poser. Maybe both. I think there’s interesting potential for conflict, contrast, or highlighting–Skinner could be a way to push Briala to change in certain ways, or to prove herself, or encourage her to continue on as she has. Maybe they have some secret history. A gift from @arlathanxchange 2023.

the world would crmble to dust before you ran out of ills to fight - [@RosellaWrites]. _Oneshot. Complete.

Favorite parts from what we do in the shadows?

Some of my favourite experiences with comedy are when there's a joke and my initial response is kinda lukewarm but then as time goes by (this is all happening within seconds) I end up chuckling at the joke to full out laughing and that happened quite a bit when I was watching the movie.

So, something as simple as "We're werewolves not swear-wolves" just had me like lol ... Lol ... LOL ... L O L ... and then later on when the pack leader is swearing because it's a full moon and he's just like, fuck off to a tree! the delivery was hilarious.

Or when Viago is talking about how he brings back victims and wants to make the night special for them because it's the last time they're going to be alive. Throughout the entire scene it was the same sort of lol ... Lol ... LOL ... L O L build-up.

The dishes scene, specifically when Vladislav says that he's embarrassed to bring people over and Deacon is like, but you kill them anyway so why do I have to do the dishes.

When the police find Stu mauled and they take a regular dog into custody and are like, we're going to have to put it down now and the dog does a little whimper I initially was like awww but then the cop is like "Look what you've done" and then I just burst out laughing.

BAT FIGHT.

When the zombie asks Stu if he could ask him a personal question and then is like, ... are you pre-deceased?

"Shame! Shame! Shame!" plus before that when they're listing all the reasons for Nick to be kicked out and then are like you brought a human to the house and then immediately everyone's like ... Stu's OK though ...

Every interaction they had with the werewolves.

There are definitely more.

Oh, how could I forget, them drawing each other so they can see how they look since they don't have reflections, I think that was probably my favourite detail.

Info About The Writer

Hi! I’m Alistair— you can call me that, or you can use my username for pretty much everywhere else, TheetyPie/Theety. I don’t mind either way.

I’m a trans guy, I use he/they pronouns. I’m panromantic/asexual, and I’m 27 years old.

I have 3 cats, they’re my babies. I also (as you can tell from above) have a lot of OCs, and the number is still growing. I want to turn my ideas into a bigger creation someday, still not sure exactly where I want to go with it.

I do more than write. I do art, I like video games, music, and just collecting stuff. Current obsessions are Monster High, Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure, makeup, crystals, and jewelry.

Rules

The most important: I do not RP smut. In the past I’ve used the fade-to-black method, but I’m not entirely comfortable with that with most of my muses.

In the same vein, DO NOT FORCE SHIPS. I love ships as much as the next guy, but I would prefer to discuss it first, or for us to agree on it. It’s cool if your muse has a crush, totally fine— mine get crushes all the time! But make sure if you want to ship, we discuss it first.

In a similar vein to that one as well, no god-modding/powerplaying. If your character is strong, an immortal being, or whatever, cool! I have some of those too. But there should always be a limit. Don’t say your character is moving mine unless we’ve talked about that. Attempt to move them. Usually I follow along as long as boundaries aren’t pushed.

Don’t kill or seriously injure my muse without permission. Fights happen, of course, but again: discussion. I’m up for threads where my canon muses are injured or killed, but not where it happens to my OCs, unless we’re getting into a backstory and another OC that’s already deceased dies. Non-serious injuries are alright to come out of nowhere with, but if it’s a first meeting, I’d prefer to plot it out.

I’m semi-selective. I’m kind of particular about who I follow and who I thread with. I prefer us to be mutuals to thread, but you don’t have to be mutuals to send me things.

I’m very bad at keeping up with people. If you message me and I don’t respond, it’s usually bc I’m shy, I forgot, or I’m busy with work. It’s not you, I promise. Usually I don’t message first bc I’m nervous.

Back to shipping: I’m also multiship. Usually my ships are in different universes, unless discussed with all parties beforehand. The exception is a few of my OCs that are partnered together— ask about their availability. I love random ships, just talk to me about them!

I love duplicates of my muses. Whether it’s “x meets self” or I find someone I share a muse with, I love RPing with just about everyone. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if we have a muse in common!

One of my other most important statements, not really considered a rule, but it’s still important: if you want to know something about any muse, canon or OC, please tell me— ask or message me! I haven’t been able to write down a lot of info about any of them because I’m on mobile, but I will infodump for you if you need/want to know something. I love talking about my children, they’re precious to me.

If you send something in or make something for me when we haven’t even spoken, I might not feel comfortable responding. I’m very shy and nervous about not having any discussion beforehand. 😭

If there’s anything I left out or you need to know, just ask!

Highlights from my Vampire Studies class today

So, I'm taking a class this semester which is a cultural history of vampires, in literature and film, and today was our first lecture for it. And OH BOY do I think I'm going to love this class.

The prof was awesome, and it looks like we are going to be covering some fun stuff this semester. Here are some of the highlights from today's lecture...

The prof playing Supermassive Black Hole while we were all getting seated (I'm not a Twilight fan but this was absolutely hilarious)

The prof played a video about using Wikipedia as a source, in which they made the joke "Your grades may be at stake", to which he paused it to add "A little vampire humour for you there" (This man is literally Viago if he was a German Studies professor)

We went over the course outline, and one of the two reading requirements is Dracula! (I'm ahead for once! Tumblr and Dracula Daily have prepared me for this) And, one of the films we will be watching is WWDITS :) I can not express how excited I am about this.

For today's movie we watched Nosferatu, which I have been meaning to watch for the longest time but never got around to. I actually really enjoyed it, and our class got some good laughs out of it.

"I am plagued by mosquitoes. Two have just bitten me on the neck, quite close together, one on each side"

I finally understand that one WWDITS reference in the pilot where Nandor does this:

"Your wife has such a beautiful neck"

During our lecture, our prof put together a slideshow about various vampire media (books, movies, etc from different years) and OH BOY there were some fun ones to talk about... for instance, one was a book called "What Would Buffy Do?", to which our prof recommended it to us if we ever have a moral quandary, and want to know what Buffy would do.

Another was some movie called "I bought a Vampire Motorcycle"

There was a small section about vampire influence on the... adult entertainment industry... to which the following interaction occurred:

Student - "I'm sorry... What is... Sperm-ula?"

Prof - *pauses for a minute* "What do you think?"

Showed us a book called "A Handbook for the Recently Turned", to which the prof said "Well... because you never know! Might need it!"

We then had a really interesting lecture on vampires throughout history, from ancient Greece and Rome through to the 18th century. Really cool stuff.

Prof made us talk to each other for an ungraded assignment because he wanted us to meet our "vampire buddies" 🥺

So yeah... I think I'm going to really like this class. Unfortunately, it sounds like quite a few of my classmates are only taking it because they were looking for an easy A elective, so hopefully they will learn to share the love of vampires by the end. I can't wait for our next lecture!

Hey! May I ask for a link of the video where you saw a Crow Rook interacting with Viago and Teia? I'm trying not to spoil myself too much by looking at all the content released since the embargo lifted, but I'm dying to see their dynamic. thanks!

Hello hello dear listener! Luke Stephens has a bit in this video here and while I recommend watching the whole thing (he did a really good job breaking down his thoughts from being able to play Veilguard for those glorious 7 hours) the interacting between Crow Rook, Viago, and Teia starts at 18:45. Luke's taking during the footage but the captions can still be read
