#Vampaneze

[aubreve-art]

Starting off with one of my favourite characters from the very first fandom I got into, Gannen from the Darren Shan Saga. This poor man lived rent free in my teenage mind longer than I’d like to admit - then I found @thevampatease ‘s blog and their analyses made me love the whole series even more.

Is it weird to dedicate posts on here? Anyway this is for them :)

CDF QUESTION OF THE DAY:

What did you think about the inclusion of Bram Stoker as a character in SLC?

[lazyblogposter]

Started thinking about Cirque Du Freak again. The series has always been close to my heart but I just haven't read them since like,, 8th grade? I don't have the attention span anymore but I did have a oc for it. Back then my ocs were just like,, siblings of existing characters and looked exactly like their sibling but I've since grown out of that and I'm retiring my old oc for good. So I'm making a new one. The last oc was a Vampaneze so I wanted to make this guy one too. I feel like he would have a very sly and carefree attitude. But he's kinda a good guy? He gets along with vampires pretty well.

I need to work out more details and stuff but I've got a basic idea for how he looks. Here's a sneak peek at him so far

He kinda looks fucked up right now but I'll clean it up later. I think he looks kinda cute ngl

I have no idea what to name him. Any suggestions??

Vampaneze

When you gaze into the abyss again, the abyss also gazes at you!

[st3vethevampan3ze]

Is the whole vampire thing some weird obsession or what?

Uhm.. well it started out as that but then after my friend Darren was turned into a half vampire I realised they SUCK and the vampaneze are way better!! And yeah so I am one now and I'm a REAL one unlike Darren🙄 technically its the same thing but we do all the killing parts!! 😝😝

I’m having feelings about vampire books that I read back in my childhood 🥺🥺

Been a while since I fed my original fandom, how are you guys? :D

Quotes are from “The Little Book of Complete B*llocks” by Alistair Beaton. RV could use some self-help.

CDF QUESTION OF THE DAY

What is your favorite AU you can think of for CDF? I like the idea of a fantasy AU!

[goatmeatstew]

I have a new Cirque Du Freak oc and theyre kind of an asshole. I got their name from a name generator that said it means gentle deer even if they're anything but gentle lol

They like pretty people, bright clothes, and not giving a shit about what others think of them. If someone judges it for anything they'll ask the person why they should care about their opinion, even if the judgment is valid.

[sewingkits]

master shan, due to your ingenuity in foiling kurda's plot and stopping the vampaneze, we are granting you an extra hour in the ballpit

Kinktober Round 3

[flygonscales]

I’m rereading the Saga of Darren Shan (Cirque du Freak) and oh my goddddddd

What do you put in your books Darren?? It is not often I read something so addictive. I saw someone describe them as being like crack. And yeah I can see that I don’t even read Animorphs books this voraciously

(Spoilers below)

And yet. Rereading the second half of the series. When you know who the vampaneze lord is and how it’s going to end. Just:

God. (Or should I say, Charna’s guts!) the planning that must have gone into the series. I can see the foreshadowing/just a prophesy that they don’t know how to follow properly because they don’t know how it ends. It’s like how a horror film protag doesn’t check why a cup fell down because they don’t know they’re in a horror film. Darren! You had Steve at your mercy! SEVERAL TIMES!!! Kill him! It’s unbearable!!! He’s lying!!!!!! This is like a fucking Greek tragedy mess of a plot!!!!!!!!

(Just try. Try reading Allies of the Night knowing full well what’s happening)

(The Greek tragedy comparison makes sense though, Darren is literally struggling against Des Tiny, even if he doesn’t know it)

And then, Mr Crepsley is dead, and Darren (post depression) and Harkat go on holiday to the nuclear dragon desert to gather panther teeth, gelatinous toad globes and Grotesque venom so they can go fishing for souls! It’s very reasonable that the war is drawing to a close so we need a break before the final battle but those toad spheres came of left field.

And then we hear the cirque du freak is returning to Darren’s hometown!! Love it when heroes return after most of their journey and discover they’ve changed too much to go back! But especially Darren, who cannot talk to anyone or even look around too much. He died. I LOVE IT I LOVE THESE BOOKS SO MUCH BUT I AM TEARING AND CRAWLING OUT OF MY SKIN THEY HURT SO BAD I JUST WANT MY BOYS TO BE HAPPY AND SAFE AGAIN)

(Boys includes: Darren, Harkat, Mr Crepsley. Vancha, Alice and Debbie. Not Steve Leopard. Fuck Steve Leopard. All my homies hate Steve Leopard)

And another thing: now I know about actual science - ‘vampire atoms are wobbly so they don’t show up on cameras’ - that is some of the most shallow pseudo scientific bullshit I’ve seen outside of JoJo’s. I love it. It’s so silly and makes no sense.
