Wait, hold up, I have to hear more about Boba/Din Vampire AU 👀

“Teeth measuring contest” - is what I should have titled that wip XD

I am this close to talking myself out of 100% committing to this idea even though I spent the whole day cleaning up this sketch and turning it into something not horribly messy and out of the realm of proportion and human anatomy. But it's getting better and better, so I guess… I can indulge a little? Maybe? Maybe 6th time is the charm? 😳😳 (Credit where credit is due tho, I changed my mind on half the elements in this drawing because of @shortmage and their fics’ influence, because I’m a very weak person, and their vampire!Boba fic as well as this one is just too good!)

Also, the rarest of things happened and I’d actually typed up some of my messy thoughts from months back when I just started marinating on the idea of Mandalorian vampires, so I suppose I might as well share them under the cut

Mandalorians as vampires - makes sense for the emphasis of the traditionalists to always keep covered up (especially with the helmet and the chest plate because the head and torso are the important and vulnerable-ish parts for a vampire), to live in secrecy and hiding and possibly even underground. Plus, since it is a trait that can be passed on through a vampire bite the Mandalorian idea of adoption and “children are the future” mentality also checks out, since the vampiric bloodline has gotten diluted over time - hence what the New Mandalorians were, who had it easier to assimilate to the norm of the Republic, and what little vampiric traits they retained with time they could live with under their domes and in their environmentally controlled cities on Mandalore.

That would make Din a very traditionalist vampire (plus the continuous wear of his helmet probably built up and encourages quite the oral fixation on top of that), and as a Beroya he’d have to ensure that the whole covert has enough blood to sustain them (bounty hunting with more focus on the “or dead” part of the assignment). Meanwhile Boba would be also a vampire, but quite a bit loser with his feeding habits and morals (and he has more motivation to keep covered up because of the whole clone thing as opposed to the vampire thing). Jango (not just because he was a foundling, but due to the general diluting effect of /time/) was less of a “true” vampire (though vampire enough, his buir was mand’alor after all, that’s gotta count for something), but he had more than enough of it locked away in his genes for the kamionans to have an absolute field day in cherry picking what traits they found useful to keep in the clones (keep some traits for strength and durability, but turn on them the thrall (in a way) and put them on blood supplements to ensure that they remain under control).

Jedi are also vampires, they just went the early mutation route of the genes, and so they don’t subscribe to the “turning someone into a vampire” idea, but rather look for that innate vampire in future Jedi; which allows for the antagonism between Jedi sorcerers and Mandalorians. Jedi are those weirdos who figured out how to live on black pudding and blood orange and anything that has blood in its name and is red, and whatever life force is in the air - and worst of all they don’t even have the decency to just turn up and die on such a ridiculous diet. They are the equivalent of light eater weirdos, except they are also somehow right. That would make Sith those who's gone bonkers and just drain the life force of every unfortunate sucker in their way (that would kinda explain why inviting Maul into mandalorian business could have seemed like a good idea? Since he was closer to traditionalist mandalorian ideals than whatever the new mandalorians were subscribing to). The grey Jedi would probably then be the smart ones who figured out that blood banks exist. They are the smart cookies who don’t have to rein in their hunger through hours of meditation or whatever yet still get the benefits.

So, about that "power vacuum"

I've been wondering what exactly Alastor lords over as an overlord, and what "power vacuum" his loss and subsequent disappearance create according to the Vees. This will be very speculative, but I have some ideas.

His deal-making is made out to be a huge thing he is known for as a powerful entity, but it seems it isn't completely unique to him. Valentino also has people sign contracts that give him control over them, though to a lesser degree than a deal for a soul does. Nevertheless, we don't see the public image of other overlords revolve around dealing in souls as much (with the exception of perhaps Husk, but he is an ex-overlord).

From Rosie mentioning there is a guy with territory who Alastor could make a deal with, it really does seem that he just goes around making deals with people who are already powerful or rising to power. Still, though, this mostly fuels his personal power rather than gives him a sphere of influence.

Here it is important to note that Alastor throughout the story positions himself as a provider of sorts. He can literally spawn objects out of the air and has great connections. Perhaps this is the offer he makes in exchange for people's souls (and he might not even exclusively make deals for souls). Alastor isn't a weapons dealer, tech company owner or a content creator, he is a general provider. And what he provides could include protection (it does in the case of the hotel), at which point Alastor could have businesses and land under his control, just by proxy through whoever he made the deal with. People won't go after these establishments because they know they are messing with Alastor's investments.

In which case, if it is shown that he isn't as powerful as thought earlier, it would lead people to doubt if making a deal with him is worth it. And his defeat at the hands of Adam shows exactly that — Alastor isn't invincible, he can be defeated, and therefore making a deal with him does not make you completely safe. The change can make people start considering other options to making deals with Alastor.

I still don't think the situation this creates can be described as a proper power vacuum, but it would explain why Alastor is even in line with all the CEOs and land owners.

For my art class this past semester we had to draw a Mona Lisa remix, so I used it as an excuse to getting better at inks and draw post apocalypse Mona Lisa.
