Bases of dating a Tzimisce

so after some very gay interactions with a Tzimisce SCP in my chronicle, and some discussion about what that even means for a 300 year old fleshcrafter, I am forced to write this up

1st base, talking about how you're both previous Sabbat clans. Includes lots of winking and talk of how you 'need to stick together in these nights'.

2nd base, giving them some bones. Can be someone else's, but if you really want to come on strong, your own are a great choice. Don't worry, it's only aggravated damage, you can mend that.

3rd base, making some 'furniture' together. Now this is easier if you are also Tzimisce, but getting high quality 'materials' or a good enough effort by kindred of any clan should definitely work.

4th base, seeing their horrid form. Being shown a Tzimisce's horrid form is a great honour, and you know you've made it when they show you and don't immediately use it to murder you. If you yourself are Tzimisce, going on a rampage both in your horrid forms is a perfect date night idea.

For the ask game to fuel your writings about Dove

5, 6, 7, 17, 23, 28, 34

You said go ham go ham I have gone

:eyes::eyes::eyes:

thank you, oh gracious storyteller. i'm not even going to check how long this will be before i put in a cut

i went for some low hanging fruit here, i won't lie, but i also think they fit so.

tw: references to vampire typical stuff; blood, murder, death. religious themes (a verse that has been turned into something for vampires)

5. what is a specific, defining physical feature that they have?

dove looks ill, after her embrace. it's something that she doesn't find out immediately. it's a mortal, a kine who tells her first.

"i don't mean to be rude but... you look really unwell, can i get you anything?"

dove wrinkles her nose. "i'm fine, thank you." her voice is cold.

"really, it's no problem if you need a seat or anything--"

"i am fine." the words are almost spat, and she realises how hungry she is. using blush of life took enough out of her that the beast is resting closeby.

she turns to the man, "actually..."

he looks so eager to help.

he only remembers her asking for a drink. a full glass of water is left on the shop's counter after she leaves.

she still doesn't know what she looks like.

6. what quality do they like the most about themselves?

dove is a survivor, she knows. it sings in her vitae, look how far we've come.

she'd been bright, as a mortal, ready and willing to take the world and make it yield. exactly what she needed to deal with the hell of law school.

then it meant she caught attention, her domitor offering the internship in person. it meant that she clawed her way through each task, handled tasks day and night, and fought to the top.

it's what drew her sire to her, she thinks. that she made it, she had the drive, the instinct to fight tooth and nail until the world submitted under her.

it's what got her away from him, the knowledge of herself, her limitations, she's a planner, a thinker, a fighter

a survivor.

7. what quality do they like the least about themselves?

there is a part of her, one that she shoves deep down, that still cares. still cares how others see her, still cares about those she left behind, so long ago.

he lives up the road. she looks just like lynette. so clearly her grandchild. and he is so clearly her son.

dove's nephew is her only connection to who she was, someone she hates and loves in equal measure. there's a part of her... a part that wants to let them die, and another that desperately wants to reveal itself to them both.

she never will; she's smarter than that. but the pair remind her of the morals she once had. the parts that have been torn away by years of servitude and callousness.

she hates that they make her feel human.

17. when were they the most angry that they’ve ever been?

it takes just over nine months for the bond to break, and then, dove is furious.

how dare he?

how dare he come into her life, make things fall to pieces around her, murder her, and then leave?

he left her, let her run, and God had she wanted to run, wanted to flee to the hills because she knew she wasn't safe-- yet

but now she's free, for the first time in sixteen years, she knows her thoughts are all her own, no misguided love or devotion to beings who do not care whether she lives or dies.

she's furious, furious at everything around her, and it feels so good to be angry at them both. so good to be take the table in her living room and break it. the speaker on the side smashes too, and so she breaks its pair.

a whirlwind of angry destruction, promise of retribution; hell hath no fury and all;

she's powerful

and yet--

she's dead.

23. when do they feel the most beautiful?

exquisite

28. what is something that helps to comfort them?

dove prays. a habit drilled into her by her mother, now twisted into something that fits her new self. it sings in her blood, calls through oblivion to her, she wakes with it on her tongue.

we are children of the night, not children of the day. we are of the night, and of the darkness. therefore let us not sleep as do others, but let us watch. for those that sleep, sleep in the night, and we that feast, feast in the night.

34. pick a character that they know. what is something that they do that your character finds charming/endearing?

dove admires amara's dedication to its art. beauty is a mindset she was told once, long ago. seeing amara reminds her of the words, said teasingly, as another woman caught dove's chin to paint her lips red.

amara knows that eyes are on them, as they move through elysium. the way it moves can only be described as swanning between people. the looks he gets are equally spread between horror and awe, and dove realises that amara probably revels in both equally.

dove finds herself firmly planted in the latter, the way the tzimisce moves is almost predatory, but graceful in a way that owned the room better than any rose or ventrue could dream.

that's not to mention the dress, the way she speaks about her art, the comments about the sea. amara is fascinating, in a way that draws dove in like the light of the anglerfish they are admiring.

Amara + Dark Side of the Moon + imperfection

One of the most telling things about Dark Side of the Moon is this tendency to proper up a rather normal-looking martial separation as proof John and his relationship are somehow monstrous at this point in time, based solely on the monster he would become.

But there's no evidence for that in the scene itself. When viewed through the eyes of anyone who isn't a four-year-old or a maladjusted soldier-of-the-story, it looks surprisingly...normal.

What we do know about this moment, or rather, how it's developed within the rest of the series, is that Mary never quit hunting. (Perhaps, John thought Mary was running out on him?) But Dean, in all of his four-year-old glory, seems absolutely tormented by this memory of his parents having rather tame marital challenges. He laments that, "Mary wasn't perfect till she died." Which is a banger of a poetic line, sure, especially for early SPN.

But crucially, no marriage is perfect. All relationships have baggage, especially when they last. Season 15 Amara is right. The whole point is that nothing is, especially not people, and especially not relationships.

And yet, Amara falls victim to this idealization herself...

Mountain likes to bake cookies and one day he made his weed cookies too strong. Dew ate like 5 and was so high he asked cumulus and cirri to catch the clouds for him and put them in a jar

Oh my god but WHAT IF THEY COULD THOUGH? Like Dew laying on his back in the grass on a warm spring day with Cirrus and Cumulus, watching clouds. They're all stoned. Mountain's cookies are legendary. And Dew's pointing at clouds, mumbling about what he sees in them when he suddenly turns to Cirrus, eyes wide and stupid. "Can you catch them?" And I mean--maybe they can't really pull clouds of the sky--but they can recreate them. Cirrus is off to find a jar (she just ducks into Mountain's garden shed--he deserves a little theft after what he's done to them) and comes back with a big mason jar. Meanwhile Cumulus is sculpting a cloud between her hands, pushing and pulling at it to get the shape right. Dew tries to help--it looks like cotton candy so it should be tangible, but his fingers just go right through it. Earning a laugh from Lus--air magic--she reminds him. She lets the cloud float into the jar once it's done. And the three of them spend the rest of the afternoon making a little sky of their own inside this jar. Dew supervising their cloud creation to make sure they get it just right. After, that jar lives on his shelf of things in his room, cloud eternally floating around in their makeshift sky.

Sometimes (always) I think about Lambeth.

like, she's a princess and she's at WunSoc. There is some random girl that pretends to be her, back at home, because no one can know of Nevermoor.

Does she feel bad for the girl? does she get to visit her family? does she ever get lonely? What would happen if someone found out where she was?

Do you think Jon/martin were thinking of kids names back in the archives?

In general, i think Martin and Jon headspaces in the archives wouldnt have allowed thoughts of that kind. At this point, Martin has already put his own egg donor at a home so im guessing he must have had a lot of Thoughts about parenthood as a whole; and Jon, I dont think the concept of kids ever grazed his mind at this point in time. I do think he could've considered honoring his parents/grandparents while naming his kid though

The thing was

Cas was and remained a devastating force on Dean’s life

And the little vignette in optimism shows how far Dean has come conceptualizing apple pie illusions and white picket fence idealizations

You have a scene with Harper Sayles cooing, “it’s gonna be perfect” directly juxtaposed with Dean imparting his own romantic knowledge for Jack, “you’re gonna make mistakes but it’s how you handle yourself after those mistakes”

It calls to mind a direct parallel AU Michael saying, about Cas: “since then, what has he done: mistake after mistake”

it shows that Dean is now comfortable with real love, that it includes mistakes and imperfection and letting others down. You don’t just move to “erase” it went it goes sideways or adios cause it’s easier (deans tendency when younger)

Lasting love rises from the real, hard moments and deciding to persevere together

Michael cannot handle nuance or grayness because he does not understand life or love. He is caught in the web of black-and-white perfectionism.

(Harper doesn’t yet either)

first couple lines under the cut :D

Once again, it was Market Day.

Crosshair found them rather boring. At least, they were boring. Echo and Tech had decided that the best way to get all of the supplies in a reasonable time frame was to divide and conquer, and Hunter agreed, so it worked. 

They all split up into pairs: Hunter and Omega, Echo and Wrecker, and Tech and Crosshair. Everyone got their share of the supplies and met back at the ship afterwards. Nothing exciting happened whatsoever. 

Except for the last Market Day. 

Crosshair had scored himself the role of Omega’s favorite-favorite (for two whole days, he smugly thought) and went with her instead, and somehow in his absence Tech had developed a bad crush on the pretty Twi’lek who had sold him paprika. That had made things a lot more interesting. Even moreso because things were back to normal now and Omega would be going with Hunter, while Crosshair, of course, went with Tech.

To pick up supplies. In the market. Where this Amara Avandé supposedly was.

Surely this Market Day wouldn’t be boring, either.
