[nono-uwu]

what is it about crowferi that you personally don’t like?

Oookaaaay first I want to preface this by saying that if you or anyone reading this ships it, I don't really care and all my hating is kept to myself and this blog so go enjoy your doomed toxic yaoi👍 I just enjoy being a whiny little hater (also I'm very hyped up about miku expo and that leads to questionable decsisions aslfkfnen)

The short answer: my personal interpretation of both characters seperately and their relationship doesn't make for any healthy relationship, let alone a romantic one. I know that that's the appeal for many but I preffer my ships to be mostly healthy

Longer answer (yapper mode activated):

As I said, I like my ships mostly healthy.

From the moment Ferid and Crowley met, Ferid was manipulative and abusive. He tormented Crowley, picked off everyone important to him one by one and made sure the only 'human' thing about Crowley later is his desire for revenge, which fizzles out by the time they meet up again, essentially turning Crowley into the prefect guard dog for Ferid. Call me a puritan or whatever but that's horrific abuse and torment, isn't it?

Now does Crowley mind? From what we're told he's only mildly annoyed with Ferid sometimes and otherwise even enjoys Ferids insane little schemes.

Still, this is very much an abuser x abused situation, which I don't vibe with. I get it's ficiton tho so I just don't engage and block, maybe whine in private about it.

It's not just any toxic yaoi, it's toxic from only one side. For me, the appeal of toxic yaoi/yuri is that both sides are equally horrible to eachother. For crowferi, Ferid is basically the only toxic one (or yk, abusive) from the start and Crowley just takes it. That's not a fun dynamic (for me)!!!!

Another thing is the massive mischaracterization of both of them? Now don't get me wrong, headcanons are perfectly fine (lord knows I have a fuck ton), but some of the crowferi content I've seen completley misses the mark? Granted most of the art doing that is older but I still see it circulated on pinterest a lot (maybe twitter too but I'm not active on there).

So these aformentioned pieces turn Ferid into an uwu soft boy who's daddy issues make him break down and sob at the mention of Rigr and Crowley into an chad alpha 𝖎 𝖜𝖎𝖑𝖑 𝖕𝖗𝖔𝖙𝖊𝖈𝖙 𝖞𝖔𝖚 typa thing (I'm exegareting but you get my point) and it's just... ;-;

Other things idk how to spin into a whole paragraph:

Those aren't a "it's not 100% canon compliant" thing, those are a "he would not fucking say that"(/ref) situation.

As a few have pointed out, Ferid treats Krul better than he ever did Crowley

Ferid never opened up to Crowley beyond a few cryptic remarks, and Crowley never bothered to look into it further. Some people like to pretend they have a deep relationship but that doesn't seem like a deep relationship to me

So, lange Rede kurzer Sinn, the way I see them doesn't make for any romantic relationship, and the toxic aspect isn't even fun (unless you like abuser x abused ig)

Now a reason that actually isn't why I dislike it:

The most common critisism about the ship is that it's technically incest. While I hate incest, ons is hilariously vague when it comes to vampire genetics and the word 'family' is used so often it could be turned into a lethal drinking game.

Like, as humans, Ferid and Crowley aren't related in the slightest and vampire family dynamics are so whack we can dissmiss them calling eachother 'brothers' as banter. If we take the whole incest argument to it's logical extreme, you could say that fucking Mikayuu qualifies as incest because they are adoptive siblings and regularly call eachother family.

This doesn't have anything to do with the ask, I just wanted an excuse to say it lol

[ca-suffit]

As a black viewer (in response to the other anon) , I have to say that the lack of understanding in (seemingly sparse) conversations surrounding the importance of race and blackness/anti blackness is extremely frustrating in the fandom. Blogs on here who are so tied to/fans of the book never seem to want to have these conversations. They are so hung up on the book the book the book and the facts of the book and ignore that this show isn’t directly pulling from the book. It’s inspired by, with the same storylines just told differently, with the same characters played by an array of actors. People on twitter (most of them because i have seen a few people bring of this up and get blacklisted by fandom) never want to talk about this. A lot of journalists as well. I wish the podcasts were still a thing because the host, a black woman, discussed race in relation to the story and how it impacts Louis/Claudia. Instead we got - in addition to articles/etc- interviews with mostly or all white fans on YouTube with the cast. No shade to them because they seem fine but to can a podcast that discussed important topics like antiblackness/racism, being black in that time period to instead give space for these fans to ask the cast questions that never cut into the meat of it all or dive into those topics whatsoever is… a choice. An insulting and disappointing choice. About the depiction of that in the show especially season two, it did make me uncomfortable. It was hard to stomach. Without the intent to normalize the storytelling choices at all, I can’t say I’m surprised they decided to depict that the way they did. The showrunner is white and who knows how many of the writers are as well or simply not black so there’s a very serious lack of understanding the impact this has on a black audience. Claudia was always going to die in the show no matter what because the writer for the book series this was based on had a daughter who was the inspiration for creating claudia who died young. Having said that, it could have been handled differently in the show knowing that they’re in Europe in the 1900s with two black characters. Rollin (the showrunner) casted a black actor to play one of his main characters so he was already aware that Louis would be treated differently than say if he was a white Louis. Thus, he was already aware of how Louis would be treated if/when Louis went to Europe because he and Claudia are black. He plans out storylines and I wish that could have been handled with more care and less triggering. I am aware that if Louis and Claudia freely traveled around Europe during war times and racism with no one - not a single vampire or human trying to attack or bother them- that there would be fans saying well you are just brushing over the reality of how Louis and Claudia would be treated. And yeah they would have. So all of this to say I understand where that anon is coming from.

Can I say that it bothers me to no end that - although I can grasp why- the consequences of some people’s actions specifically Armand - are not treated with the weight as it should. I do not know how this will be dealt with next season, but it has been said (about this story/characters) that since vampires live to eternity/for centuries, they learn to forgive heinous and the most traumatizing of situations for the sake of moving forward and healing. You can choose to forgive if you want if it serves you in healing because that is a person (or vampire’s) right but Armand killed and orchestrated the death of two peoples daughter. I don’t want to see two or even three seasons from now Armand becoming ‘buddies’ with Louis or Lestat. The writer of these characters said that if Louis and Lestat did have an actual wedding, Armand would be there and have a role in it ? Why would the man who killed their daughter have a role in their wedding? I don’t want to see something like that in the show. Fans excuse it because these are vampires with a non human experience but we are humans watching and will find it hard to forget something like that. If this was real life, a person or duo would not think twice about cutting someone off who killed their daughter. I will say to Louis staying with Armand after Claudia’s death, he doesn’t know that Armand planned and did that. He thinks it was all or mostly Lestat’s fault, which it wasn’t. Lestat we will learn was weak from Armand holding him captive so he couldn’t save Claudia- going back to the reality that Claudia was never going to be saved because the writer/creator of the book series had her die because she was inspired by her daughter’s death. Despite knowing that, it was troubling seeing these events unfold as they did nonetheless. All of this to say, I am aware that life for Louis and Claudia was never going to be rainbows and sunshine everyday with no racism or hardships. If the show attempted to portray their lives that way, it would be problematic. So I understand that Louis and Claudia will be faced with racism and hard times, but it’s how the portrayal unfolds. As for Lestat’s treatment of them, I’m glad there’s some semblance of remorse and apology that we never get from Armand ever. This is NOT me excusing Lestat’s actions whatsoever just to say that is the bare minimum lol especially for a white character because we know if he was lacking remorse and didn’t care, it wouldn’t go over well. At least we might see his consequences from his actions next season since it appears to be half focused on him and the rest still on Louis. There are limited number of episodes in a season so I am aware that there is only so much ground that can be covered in terms of consequences and fallout from these events. It is difficult having a lack of a black persons perspective in the making of the show because even if Claudia was always going to die and Louis was going to interpret the events wrong to end up with her killer, there is a way that could’ve been handled that didn’t cause as much triggering and distaste for black viewers

(context)

(posting this as it is for a fan vent)

Part 2 also:

"Black anon here who sent an agreeing response to the other ask talking about their reaction to the lynching/racism- the book purists willingly ignore the reality that this book was written by a white woman who was racist and is now in the hands of a white man who does not understand what it is like to be a black person- black American man specifically - living and existing especially in the time period the first two seasons are set in, the early 1900s to present day or close to present day. The book purists focus more on ‘yes this is the Louis and Lestat (as endgame) show if you don’t like it then don’t watch’ and do not even try to give it the same amount of attention or understanding. They do not want to talk about the lynching and how traumatizing that is. It’s not like the showrunner doesn’t care but it doesn’t seem as if he’s as invested in telling that with as much intent as he is at portraying Lestat as interesting and memorable as this new version separate from Lestat’s of the past in media. Yes he cares about this new version of Louis portrayed by Jacob but to what extent because it feels as if the writing for Louis could have been handled with more care in numerous circumstances/situations. It’s not all bad/in distaste I do see instances where the portrayal of Louis is reflected with nuance and I don’t know if that’s Jacob it could be but he only acts to what he is given on the page. He does understand Louis more- not only as a black person but in terms of things he has discussed before like mental health struggles- I understand that this show is about vampires and complexity and a range of other themes but this can’t be ignored and should be handled with the same weight and intention as Lestat being developed as he has and will be for next season. It must be easier for the showrunner to see Lestat because he is also white, so there is a level of understanding. But Louis who is black in the show- he will never understand that experience of being a black American or a gay black American man at that- and yes he can research or consult with people if he hasn’t already- but I’m noticing discrepancies and that can only do so much when he doesn’t understand/live in that experience himself. This is not to say that Louis is unlikable or uninteresting because I find Louis to be very interesting and I very much enjoy him as a character however what he endures and experience feels like never ending pain. Yes he is guilt ridden and traumatized and depressed but that’s not all he is. Yes, this is his life story entangled with moments that bring out these feelings but I want to see more. I hope to see a shift to something else moving forward next season and beyond since the showrunner intends to do 8-10 seasons allegedly"

Dusk needs to find someone to help him with his vampiric powers.

Enter Wild!

About eating habits:

He can eat normal food but sometimes need a little drop of blood to subdue hunger.

He is married to Malon, a beautiful redhead woman that lives on a ranch called Lon Lon.

About work:

While trying to balance work and family life, he sometimes forgets important dates like birthdays.

Out of a new vampire hunter recruits, he decides to train a young boy named Wind as his sore successor.

About a specific co-worker:

He is jealous of Twilight and Wild´s relationship. It seems more brotherlike than the mentee and mentor relationship.

Twilight relies so much on Wild that Time is afraid of never meeting his grandson.

Not so happy with Lullaby´s cousin that he wasn't chosen to be Twilight´s mentor.

Wild: a promising vampire hunter that was left alone in the wilderness when he was a baby.

A/N: He can date Zelda or Sidon. I don't mind Zelink or SidLink. I love those pairings with all my heart. They can be together if you want. Don't accept Yoona slander in this house

Round 3 - Catholic Character Tournament

Propaganda below ⬇️

Angel

I don’t remember if he was Catholic as a human (he was Irish like a few hundred years ago so probably) but his guilt complex as a vampire is so fucking massive it has to be Catholic lbr

well he's from 1700s ireland so. theres that. he's (for most of the series) the only vampire with a soul and he uses that soul to feel really guilty for everything all the time. he moves to LA and starts saving people from demons to try and atone for everything he did while he was a soulless vampire

he makes exactly one facial expression and its |:<

Kurt Wagner/Nightcrawler Propaganda:

good lord where do i start. in the animated series he converts logan to catholisism and then fucks off basically thats the main thing he did there. i think one time they tried to make him a demon to explain how he looked but everyone hated that. he sold his soul one time to help his friends out after he died. he and logan have a weird little gay thing. he was a priest one time but he was made a priest by a fake bishop from a religion that hates mutants iirc so he just wasnt a priest. like 3 people have written him in a way i like and one of those is my friend just talking about how they view him.

wow marvel loves making catholic characters dress/look like demons

Kurt is a mutant who was born to mystique who looks a LOT like a devil (technically is half one but that cannon truth isn’t real go back to bed), his mother dropped him off a cliff when he was born and he was picked up by a Romani group/circus (fuck old comics man) however he then narrowly escaped being sold to a freak show and found himself in a small German town. There he met a kind priest, who showed him God, and he quickly grew attached to the idea- However, it wasn’t long before people began labeling him a demon and soon the whole town was against him with pitchforks and fire. Cornered and injured, Kurt thought this might be the end for him- maybe he would see heaven so long after finding it- but he was then saved by Charles Xavier who invited him to the X-Men. AND ITS BEEN SO MANY YEARS AND HE HAS BEEN THROUGH SO MUCH THERE. SO MUCH. SO GOD DAMN MUCH. BUT THE MOST AAAA THING TO ME CONCERNING HIS FAITH HE WHEN HE LITERALLY DIED AND WENT TO HEAVEN BUT THEN BECAUSE OF DRAMA WITH HIS FATHER HAD TO BRING HIS FRIENDS IN WITH HIM FROM THE BEYOND. THEN WITH ALOT OF TROUBLE THEY FOUGHT HIS FATHER AND THE ONLY WAY KURT SAW TO STOP HIM WAS IN A MOVE THAT STRIPPED THEM BOTH OF THEIR SOULS AND PUT THEM BACK ON EARTH. SO KURT CANONICALLY HAS NOW LOST HIS ABILITY FOR ETERNAL PEACE, LOST HIS VERY SOUL, TO SAVE PEOPLE- AND ALSO TOLD NO ONE NOT EVEN HIS GAY LOVER WOLVERINE.

Nightcrawler is a mutant vigilante who looks like a classical demon. He can’t even go to church without people panicking and trying to exorcize him. Despite it all, he’s so full of faith and hope and compassion, and he wants to believe the best of everyone. Also, he’s bffs with an extremely angry Jewish sword lesbian. That has nothing to do with anything, but it’s important to me that you all know that.

What if you were a devout christian and literally looked like the devil? He nearly became the pope, which was a plot by some supervillains that also involved faking a rapture? There is nothing like comics I swear to god.

A catholic who is half demon I don’t think I can better explain a struggle than that. But his character is so relatable to people who feel unwelcome with their congregation because of something that is a part of them but still feeling a connection to the faith. Kurt actively engaged in his faith and shares how his faith helps him through all the things he has faced in life and how he found a home with those of the church who leave the judging to God.

so they made kurt a priest briefly before deciding to retcon it, resulting in nightcrawler actually being part of a plan by villains to promote him to pope then reveal to the world that the pope is a demon. wild.

I have a side blog and a tattoo about him and i really really want him to win

Wisecracking devil-appearing devout Catholic with the Best superpower (teleportation)? HECK YES

German Catholic circus acrobat who looks like a demon & can teleport through a hellish alternate dimension with a puff of sulfur. Character of all time.

hes catholic and his dad is the devil. what could be funnier than that. also hes my silly little guy.

Nightcrawler is the world’s most fun catholic priest. I first was introduced to this kindhearted teleporting acrobat while he saved a boat full of stowaway refugees from inter dimensional pirates with swashbuckling gusto!

[atherix]

Has Grian or Scar ever accidentally done a courting ritual on the other/Mumbo? Then try to play it off as nothing as the others are confused on what they did? Because they all don’t know all of each others courting ritual and it would be funny if they did before any of them got together.

Not sure if Mumbo would have some or just not remember if vampires have their own. Would also be funny if Mumbo did know some avian rituals and it just slips his kind before remembering later on.

Oh absolutely. Mumbo doesn't really know Vampire courting but he knows human courting from his time period. He never participated ofc, he was engaged from a young age so he didn't exactly have to go through courting, but yeah.

Gift giving is definitely a courting ritual for Avians (obviously between unrelated adults; relatives can give gifts all day long and it's just your relative giving you something), so every time Mumbo or Scar gave Grian something there was that split moment in his head where he went "Gift? :o" before remembering they're not Avian. (Gives a little more weight to Mr. Moo. Mr. Moo my beloved where have you gone) Of course, the opposite also happens- an Avian giving a feather to their intended partner is an extremely important courting ritual where accepting the feather basically seals the deal, but Scar definitely doesn't know that and has completely accidentally "rejected" it by handing his feather back- even though Grian didn't even actually give it to him and he acquired it by complete accident, there's this instinctive "o-oh" moment before Grian remembers "right I didn't even GIVE it to him if I had he wouldn't be handing it back ofc" so there's that.

As for Scar, courting for Fae- Fae courting is a bit... particular. Fae courting is generally initiated after gaining acceptance/approval from the families and presenting the hairpiece- meaning court with intent to marry. Of course acceptance isn't a requirement unless you happen to be courting a member of the High Court (haha... :) ) in which you have to have the Monarch themself's approval (since marrying a member of the High Court grants you legal/social status as part of the High Court), but having their acceptance is just a LOT easier and more comfortable in the long run. After that there are specific dances shared between courting couples (using couples here bc I can't think of a better word but just know here "couples" include poly relationships, too), specific types of gifts at specific times during the courting (which generally relate to what is worn for an Elven wedding; jewelry, the gowns, you know, given in increasingly important order)- it's a very proper courting ritual for them, not one that Grian and Mumbo are likely to accidentally stumble into but may have actually already have without any of them, even Scar, realizing it-

Part 2 of the werewolf AU lore dump because I am cringe but I am free!! This time with a bit more of a focus on lore events and backstory.

TDIM AU werewolf lore part 2

Mark:

-Once had to film on a solar eclipse (In this lore they cause werewolves to turn during the day as if it were a full moon night.) This was back when Charlie and Kate were unaware of Mark being a werewolf or Jamie being a vampire. (This was before Erin.) Fighting against the eclipse only made things worse, and it led to an extremely stressful and painful transformation at a horrible time. In the chaos, Kate was bitten quite badly, and Jamie was forced to reveal herself as she would end up using her strength as well as bat form to deal with Mark. Charlie and Kate were in shock the entire time. Jamie wasn’t great at explaining, Mark even worse, but they got there.

-When Mark first met Kate, he dismissed his feelings towards her, worried that it was just a werewolf/prey thing he was mistaking for love. She was initially the one making advances for this reason, and eventually they did start a relationship.

-Mark hid the fact that he was a werewolf from Kate for a long time, even more so after finding out what happened to Shelby. She would eventually grow suspicious but wouldn’t find out until the solar eclipse. He was also afraid that he would be a danger to her, something that would only worsen after the solar eclipse. He broke up with her partly because of this shame and guilt.

-Before Erin joined and before Kate was turned, for quite a while Mark and Jamie were the only non humans in the crew. They would often help each other conceal their identities around the others. Them usually working together on shots was convenient for this. Of course there was also some mutual banter relating to their differences in traits.

-Charlie took Mark’s reveal as a werewolf surprisingly well. He was shocked for a while and a bit wary of Mark, but eventually adjusted to it, to everyone’s surprise. He was more afraid of Jamie and Kate by that point anyway.

-Small but important: The fact that he was born a werewolf means that at some point puppy werewolf Mark was a thing.

Kate:

-Kate was a complete mess during her first transformation. Things were broken, everyone was panicking. Mark was able to help make things easier on her eventually.

-Her anxiety would often cause her to involuntarily turn. This is one of the reasons she turned to crystals, as they would help calm her down and therefore prevent this.

-Jamie’s usual werewolf/vampire banter she would have had with Mark before was turned up to 100 when it came to Kate. 

-Kate, for the longest time, hated the fact that she was a werewolf, due to her dislike of them. This is one of the reasons Jamie can’t stand her. She hates the fact that Kate often seemed to view being non human as a negative thing, while Kate on the other hand couldn’t stand how willing Jamie often was to embrace it. Mark fell somewhere in the middle of these two viewpoints.

-Her rivalry with Jamie also led to Kate having a dislike of vampires. This changed when Erin joined, as Kate quickly warmed up to her. 

-Her “curse” ended up saving her from Du’met in the end, and this is what led to her no longer hating it.  

That’s it for part 2 ermmm just wanted to post a bit more lore bc I’m a little obsessed with this silly ah au

Day 13: Double feature and rewatch, Blood Relatives and Hellraiser

This was a fun watch! Definitely on the less spoopy side of things... Honestly, if the Hallmark channel was alright with a series of casual murders, it would fit right on.

Scary: 1 out of 3. Not that kind of movie. Almost, as I noted above, not a horror movie... Aside from the casual murder.

Gross: 1 out of 3. There's a couple of things, as you would expect from a story about vampires, but nothing you wouldn't see on any mainstream show these days.

Disturbing: 1 out of 3. Blood Relatives isn't trying to be disturbing really.

Funny: 2 out of 3. Some great, as Noah would say, schtick in the movie. A couple of lines, a couple of situations. Maybe it's my own inner Dad of a daughter showing, but it's weird how relatable some of the scenes were.

Thoughtful: 2 out of 3. Not thoughtful in the way TV Glows was, by any stretch. But there was a fun world created along the way. I could even see this is a great jumping off concept for a very wholesome game of World of Darkness or the beginning of a Monsterhearts campaign.

Total score: 7 out of 15. If you want a movie that waves a Spooptober flag, but really is just a touching story about family and identity, you might like it.

I also sort of accidentally rewatched the original Hellraiser, so I thought I might as well throw it up here.

I'm a fan of Clive Barker's writing, or I was a long time ago. I enjoyed his style of building dark fantasy worlds through mysterious exposition sometimes not explained at all, or only between the lines.

The original Hellraiser (ignoring the franchise here to take this movie as it is) illustrates that pretty well, and no wonder since they let him direct and write it.

Scary: 1 out of 3. Granted, I've seen this one a time or two before, so it's not as though I wouldn't see scares coming, but I don't think the movie leans that way regardless.

Gross: 2 out of 3. The body horror, the practical effects, drive home the visceral nature of the 'monster' in Hellraiser. What sights, indeed. Some of the effects are now extremely dated and almost silly. There's a particular creature from... Let's call it Hell that is disturbing and weird, but almost laughable in today's era for some reason. Still, they did a great job on the really important parts.

Disturbing: 2 out of 3. A lot of what disturbs me, and I think it's intended, about Hellraiser isn't the supernatural elements, but the behavior of the characters that are supposedly material people. I find myself thinking "no one would act like that, do that, be motivated by that" in one breath, and then remembering history, distance and near, and then suddering. I'm afraid to think that, ultimately, Pinhead and company really have no hope of competing with humanity's capacity for bullshit.

Funny: 1 out of 3. I don't think I laughed once during the movie. Well, not at the movie. My daughter was the initiator (I just sort of came in and sat down to watch with her) and we had some commentary that amused me.

Thoughtful: 2 out of 3. The world of Hellraiser, and the novella it sprang from are interesting, if not complete and coherent. I would be shocked if the watchers of the original film, back in the day, didn't leave the theater with a few questions about the Cenobites, about the puzzle box, the place they 'connect to', etc. etc. I understand that in other media, a sort of expanded universe, attempts are made to answer these questions and more. I haven't touched those much, because I prefer the mystery, but maybe I'll get around it to next Spooptober.

Total Score: 8 out of 15. Do you enjoy supernatural horror where the 'bad guys' aren't always what you anticipate? Hellraiser is a classic, and if you can get past the dated effects you might enjoy the story and some classic spooky gore.

Happy Storyteller Saturday! This is a free question to talk about any wip, character, story point, worldbuilding bit, etc. that's been in your mind but you haven't had the chance to introduce yet! Please tell me about them :D

I’m gonna take the chance to dual-purpose this answer! @vcaudley wanted to know more about my selkies, and I don’t think I’ve actually gotten a chance to talk about them ever, so here we are! (We’ll actually meet a selkie called Rónan for a brief moment in Into the Storm, but since my writing pace is glacial, we haven’t gotten there yet.)

To start I’ll explain a little bit about selkies in general. In scientific terms, selkies are part of the shapeshifter class of supernatural creatures. This is a very broad class, encompassing a wide variety of creatures. Selkies are rare, and while there are documented selkie populations across the globe, it is extremely uncommon to meet one. They are notoriously rare creatures and prefer to remain with their colonies which are usually composed of both selkies and mundane seals of the same species. Selkies in seal form tend to be slightly larger than their mundane counterparts, and their eyes are described as being ‘too human’ by some.

If you do happen to come across a selkie in human form, it is very easy to tell. For one, selkies in human form have an undeniable air of ‘otherness’ about them. They don’t move like humans, talk like humans, act like humans. Everything they do is almost human, but not quite. Like with some vampires, selkies have a subtle magical aura that draws people to them. It’s faint enough to be almost unnoticeable, leading many who lack a sensitivity to magic to believe selkies capable of enchanting or enthralling people. This isn’t necessarily true. Selkies cannot exert control over this aura. The only exception to this is when a selkie sings. Singing makes the aura stronger, but the selkie still has no ability to direct or shape this aura.

There is a lot of myth and folklore surrounding selkies, as with most supernatural creatures, and very little verifiable fact. Stories of claiming a selkie by stealing their seal-skin have been told with enough frequency and nuance to be reasonably true, though the idea that possessing a selkie’s skin will give the possessor great luck, great wealth, or the ability to become a selkie as well are doubtful. Since so few selkies have ever been recorded living among humans, it is hard to determine whether stories of half-selkie children inheriting their selkie parent’s luck, looks, or ability to turn into a seal are accurate. One can only assume in the case of a half-selkie turning into a seal, they’d need to acquire a seal-skin from somewhere else, since they aren’t born with one of their own.

In parts of the British Isles selkies are said to be of the fairie folk. While the existence of faeries is still debated to this day, there are parts of celtic faerie lore that make sense in relation to selkies. Names seem to be important to selkies, with one’s ‘true name’ being a well-kept secret to all but close family and chosen friends. The ‘otherworldly’ aspects of them could be - and have been - explained as selkies literally belonging to another world and therefore seeming ‘other’ to humans. Selkies are also said to have certain power over water and oceans. But since not even humans can exert magical control over natural phenomena, this is a dubious claim.

And that’s the basics on Shapeshifter selkies! Will I ever learn to write summaries of my magical creatures without turning it into an academic paper or pseudo-wiki article? Who knows! I certainly don’t :P

PSA to new fanfic writers or AO3 users

i saw several of these under IWTV ao3 tags lately, and i was really confused. i realized there are a lot of first-time ao3 users in the fandom. since tagging is extremely important on ao3, here is a little guide.

1. Let's start with the image first. RPF means Real Life Fiction. real life, real people. so, you should only use "IWTV RPF" tag when your fic is about real people related to IWTV: actors, actress, anyone who's breathing. don't do something like in this image when there are only fictional characters in your fic. it's extremely misleading, and you're actually pushing readers away from your fic because not everyone is into RPF. Please edit your tags, I beg you.

2. Tag all the pairings in your fic. I think we all already know "slash" (/) means romantic relationship and "and" (&) means non-romantic. Secondly, tag the pairings in order. The first one should be the main couple and so on. You could use "mention of A/B" "past A/B" or "hint of A/B" to make the side couples clearer. If it's a romantic polycule then use "A/B/C". If it's a triangle, then "A/B, A/C" and readers would assume A/B is the endgame. Or add "endgame A/B" to make it clearer. Being misled by tags can be very upsetting.

3. Tag your pairing dynamic correctly. Who's bottom (more submissive)? Who's top (more dominant)? If they switch, put both of them as both or just use "They switch" tag. (A/N contrary to some people's belief, this is important)

4. Make sure you add necessary additional tags but don't make wall of tags. You can use "Canon-typical violence" to cover vampire-typical violence and gore, but still tag "domestic violence" and "cheating" when it's needed. Consent-related tags (dubcon/non-con/rape) are necessary. I know the fandom only use "Modern AU" tag for non-vampiric modern AU, but I suggest to also add "Human AU" to make it clearer (this will become important when the show is mainly in modern setting).

Lastly, if you ever think "what does this tag mean?" "what's the difference between this tag or that tag?", you can look them up in this awesome site Fanlore.org.

Also, if you read a fanfiction and there's triggering material or anything you deem should be tagged but untagged, please always remind the author respectfully.

Bodaway Kanoska for @wildmelon's "Love at First Bite"

Admittedly, Bodaway is not great at being a vampire. Fine, scratch that: if Bodaway is being honest, he's actually not even "good" or "decent" at being a vampire and the few immortal beings he barely keeps in his microscopic circle never fail to remind him of this fact (much to his dismay). Feeding on mortals? Harrowing. The social aspect of clans and all the events that come with being a part of them? Painful at best. But immortality, as it turns out, kind of sucks when you isolate yourself for two centuries. So, yeah, perhaps it's time to take Paris and Nour up on their (years old) offer to connect Bodaway to "others like them" via a very exclusive social event in New York City.

More info (and some extra pictures) under the cut! ❤️

Commonly goes by: "Bodie" because it raises less eyebrows and is generally an "easier" name for people to pronounce and remember. That being said, he likes his full first name because it grounds him to his humanity and connects him to his Native American roots and culture. Pronouns: He/Him Sexuality: "Unlabeled" (He sees a connection as a connection, he feels that gender identity wouldn't change anything and he has never given it much more thought than that!) Occult: vampire (master level with absolutely no ambition to wield any kind of power or influence in the vampire community). Age/birthday/star sign: Somewhere around 200 years old - he really stopped caring once he hit 150. He was turned around the age of 29; May 15th; Taurus Traits: loves the outdoors, loner, maker (+ some bonus gameplay-related traits such as responsible, happy toddler, etc. that relate to his life before he was a vampire). Education: finally got around to completing a high school education about 15 years ago (online, naturally). Aspiration: Outdoor Enthusiast Occupation: Currently does freelance work: refurbishing antiques and selling them, crafting furniture pieces from scratch. It's solitary work but it's soothing (and Bodaway likes working with his hands).

Some Lore:

Bodaway spent the first 50 years of his immortal existence on his own with one goal - finding the person who turned him. To confront them, to thank them... he wasn't sure. He traveled nonstop and met many vampires among many clans, but could only give them a vague description from memories formed while he was on the brink of death. Most of the interactions were dead ends and the more time that passed the more restless he became. Finally, he was advised to go to Germany and meet with noble vampires Nour and Paris who, apparently, had been alive much longer than most of their kind.

Although the Sadeks weren't able to track down the man who turned him, they were able to provide him with something much more important that he'd neglected for so long - conversation, compassion, a listening ear, and a home to stay in for a while. (I imagine Nour took a special interest in Bodaway due to him being so frail and all-consumed by anger when they met. After all, it isn't normal for a vampire to turn someone and then abandon them, leaving them to figure out immorality entirely on their own.) He hadn't realized how far he had strayed from his humanity, and he was terrified of his dark physical appearance (he was dirty, his hair unkempt, his skin had a gray pallor to it, there were even cracks forming in his skin). Although their lifestyle was vastly out of his comfort zone, it was grounding. Once he felt more like his true self, he promised he'd never go back to just feeding and surviving. He stayed with the pair for a few years, quietly minding his business and taking the much needed guidance on how to navigate his eternal existence moving forward. He's extremely thankful for everything they did for him and keeps in touch with them as much as he can manage (which for him is every few years, but what's a few years to an immortal being?).

Even after regaining some of his humanity and learning the ropes on how to be an immortal being in an ever-changing world, he still spent a lot of time viewing immortality as a disruption to the natural order. Sometimes he still sees himself as an animal, a monster even, and he deals with feelings of guilt that he evaded death while his family weren't given the same chance.

His family (5 sisters/3 brothers/mom/dad) died because of an animal attack while hunting and looking for shelter in the wrong place at the wrong time. Knowing what he knows now, he believes the attack was executed by a pair of werewolves, crazed by the full moon and set off by the presence of vampires on their turf. The small vampire clan included the man who turned him "out of compassion" when he was seconds away from death. But of course he doesn't know for certain all the details of what happened that night. At the time his family was attacked, none of them were even aware that such beings existed outside of stories and legends. He just has vague memories to go off of: markings on the fur, the uniquely enormous size of the animals, the nearly human eyes staring into him as their claws descended upon his body. He laid there, bleeding slowly and bones broken for hours...minutes? He's unsure. Then, in the early hours of the morning, he was approached by a well-dressed man with short fire red hair, freckled pale flesh, and eyes bluer than the clearest sky. The strangers eyes were clouded with unshed tears and something like uncertainty mixed with determination before he gently lifted Bodaway's head into his lap, lifted his limp wrist to his mouth, and the sting of teeth and warmth overtook him. His scars are from that attack. (Note that this doesn't impact the way he sees werewolves - he sees their instincts as no different than that of vampires or other immortal beings.)

With that being said, he does not sleep well most of the time, as he has to deal with night-terrors. He's got a lot of trauma, and he could probably benefit from speaking to a professional... but are there even vampire therapists? He's not so sure. He also is a guilty blood drinker - it exacerbates those "I'm a monster, I'm no better than the animals that killed my family" feelings. So he only drinks when absolutely necessary, and he prefers it to be with consent. But he doesn't mind drinking from blood bags - it isn't fresh, but it was ethically sourced and voluntarily given and that's good enough for him.

But he can't deny some of the benefits of his immortality - he's got inhuman strength and speed to match. Not just that, but he also has a certain charm about him that is undeniable. In his human life he faded into the background voluntarily - he's never been outgoing and he never trusted anyone enough to let his walls down completely. But ever since being turned, humans find themselves more drawn to him now (perhaps not a perk to him, but it could be for some people).

Unique to his kind, he has a reasonable resistance to sunlight (fortunate for him, a lover of the outdoors). It's a power that, in his belief, may have come from the vampire who turned him.

He lives minimally because that's really all he's ever known. His family lived simply, and he has been content with continuing that for himself. But he isn't judgmental about it: in fact, he would never look down on others who enjoy luxury or finer things because he does see the appeal. He'd be 100% open to living somewhere more lavish so long as he could do so ethically and have access to fresh air and a place to work outdoors from time to time.

He currently lives by himself in a modern, minimalist home he had built deep in a secluded area of the woods. (I imagine he lives somewhere like North Carolina, and his home looking something like this.) after his about a century he took in an enormous and gentle Rottweiler named Sunny, but he was devastated when he passed and hasn't gotten a new furry companion since. But he LOVES dogs (and all animals really). He wanted to be a veterinarian in his human life, but never pursued that after being turned. (But it's never too late, he hasn't closed that door completely!)

Because he is well traveled and has spent most of his life in isolation, clanless, he has had a handful of partners over the years - all human. But his relationships were never serious and he would intentionally keep them at arms length. He has always resisted opportunities for love, in part because he doesn't know if he deserves to be loved... but also out of fear for losing someone he loves. He already finds eternal existence to be a foreboding thing, but trying to do that with a broken heart seems like an impossible and cruel punishment to endure.

He's stayed away from dating other vampires as he's always dealt with the ethical quandary of believing he's a monster. So I think it would be kind of poetic and scary for him, falling in love with someone who shares the thing he detests in himself - because when Bodaway loves someone, truly, he would worship them. He doesn't see their faults. I think of this quote: "When is a monster not a monster? Oh, when you love it." (poem here). And this would completely shake his view of himself. It would change so much for him.

Lastly, I will leave you with some lighter facts: I would describe him as rigid, quiet, and reserved around strangers and acquaintances but passionate, intense, loyal, and soft around those he loves. His favorite color is green. Physical touch & words of affirmation are his love language. He loves all outdoor activities (swimming, hiking, fishing, etc.) and is obviously very crafty (especially with woodworking). His tattoo is symbolic of a family heirloom (a broach passed down to each eldest daughter) and because his sisters and mother passed in the attack, he kept it but wears it in the form of his tattoo (it lives on with his immortal body). He was the oldest child in his family. Chocolate cosmos are his favorite flower.

ALRIGHT, I AM DONE. Whew. I'm so sorry, this is why I don't make occults often. I love lore, I eat occult backstories uppppppppp. You can take the girl out of her middle school vampire phase, but you can't take the middle school vampire phase out of the girl.

Below are 3 full body shots (everyday, formal, underwear/sleep) and a picture of the scars and tattoos on his back!

Private DL if chosen!

Do you have a beginners guide to ez's lore for the uninitiated (me) 🥺

YOU GOT IT I LOVE NOTHING MORE THAN TO TALK ABT HER

Note: This only applies to Ez in our campaign, other Ez’s will vary. 

BASIC INFO

Ez (goes by Ez)

She/Her 

Human 

5’0” (5'8") / 25-35 yrs (her canon is 5'8" and the height I draw her is noncanon LOL)

Romani (Vistani) descent 

Action Girl (like the TV Trope)

Primary weapons are magic handaxe, saber, and the ability to call lightning from her fingertips.

An elusive NPC that’s both a world of help and a storm of trouble at the same time, Ez is protege to one of the greatest monster hunters in existence, and her nearly bottomless talent and expertise are countered only by her reckless, impulsive disposition and swiftly changing whims. Casual, confident, and deeply capable, she’s happy to share her knowledge with the party when asked, but her cat-like independent streak means she never stays for long. 

When the party first met her, she had big ‘I’ll sell you for one corn chip’ energy, and while it doesn’t seem like she’ll betray them anymore, she still feels like a gremlin and is somewhat difficult to read. The party enjoys her because she’s easy to talk to and exchange theories with. Roma likes chatting with her when she’s around, and “likes” her, which at this moment involves giving her a lot of gifts and making fun of her when she loses things. 

OTHER FACTS: 

Has a below the knee prosthetic.

Says her parents were the worst.

Seems to have a complicated relationship with her heritage. 

Running gag that she keeps throwing her ax into the figurative (sometimes literal) abyss despite not needing to at all and the party has to fetch it 

Running gag that she just loses important things, like full horses, her magic cart, and her spell components

Can do triple the amount of damage of the party in a single turn 

Lost her shadow once, and had to go on a long and difficult venture with The Twins to retrieve it back 

Talks to Roma in Goblin, a language that only the two of them and none of the party know 

Was first mentioned in Roma’s tarot reading (players are given a tarot reading in the beginning of the campaign called Tarokka that tells them important NPCs or artifacts abt the world that’ll help them in the campaign/relate to completing objectives in backstory) 

The Tempter - speaks of one who will direct you to a mutual ally; to someone who knows something of your past and who will know something of your future. you must seek out the woman of recklessness who is missing one of her legs.

Can read tarokka, but claims to not be very fluent with it. 

Agreed to go on a date with Roma. 

Gifts Roma has given her: 

Endure Elements - a spell casted on her, after first meeting, upon her departure, that protects from cold and heat and keeps casted comfortable for 8 hrs in extreme weather conditions 

20 feet of chain - forged by local blacksmith, originally 30 feet. “It’s so you can attach it to your ax and not lose it anymore.” 

A gold bracelet worth 100 gold pieces taken from the party’s first vampire kill 

The ribs from a stag, hunted by Roma and Van Richten (Roma and Ez’s shared mentor) that morning 

[lnkedmyheart]

Wait are ppl that stupid 😳? Man if anyone was using Chuuya it was Fyodor or maybe Mori, I believe Dazai didn't even know that Chuuya wasn't a vampire till Chuuya manipulated that elevator's gravity and eventually Dazai connected the dots and realized and adapted to the plan, when did he manipulated Chuuya lmao ( I also choose to believe Chuuya was the one who planned most of this, idk why it sounds funny and nice imo )

Also the Sigma one hmmm...from what I remember dazai and Chuuya aren't completely out of Meursault yet right? And he himself had promised sigma that he will take him out of there and he isn't someone who breaks his promises so yeah ( also I'm not a sigzai shipper but I think he genuinely cares about Sigma cuz he reminds him of Atsushi or whatever and he sounded honest when he said a part of why he chose sigma was that he wanted to actually save him and Asagiri didn't just made out their interactions and the possibility of Sigma joining the ada and him becoming fond of Dazai to some extent only for it to just mean nothing at the end )

Sorry for ranting;) I may be wrong though because I'm not good at analyzing or sth and English isn't my first language so....

Lets cover Sigma first. He's been a crucial character in this arc but extremely passive. But he has gained some extremely important information and seemingly gone into a coma. The character who this information relates to is seemingly dead. But see, we dont know what Sigma found out, we dont know what Fyodor is, its implied he isn't human. I am also obsessed with the body hopping theory but keeping that aside Fyodor's ability will definitely come into play and Sigma will be very important when that happens.

As for the Sigma being forgotten thing. We only saw Sigma from Fyodor's perspective before he even knew skk were working together. In his perspective Dazai was dead, Chuuya was a vampire and Sigma was incapacitated cause that's how he left him. He did not expect anyone to make it out alive with Chuuya most likely being captured for murdering these many govt soldiers, Dazai was dead and Sigma also taken in because he is part of a terrorist organisation after all. With skk alive they most likely went in and got Sigma. And yes, I do think Dazai cares about Sigma enough to want to keep his promise to him. The "we forgot the kids" joke is mostly just a joke in the fandom. I hate that Dazai is getting dragged for this at all. Bro has proven himself enough.

I wouldn't say Mori was using Chuuya. Mori is Chuuya's boss. Him dressing Chuuya up and sending him on a mission is not exactly him being used by anyone. He is just doing his job as an executive. Fyodor thought he was using Chuuya, that he was properly utilizing the gravity manipulator. Dazai may or may not have thought Chuuya was being used against his will given that he was mad pissed when Chuuya arrived and seemed to have partnered up with Fyodor and he seemed really irritated at Fyodor talking about Chuuya like a tool and implying he didnt know how to use him.

If anything Chuuya wasn't being used at all and him and Dazai were doing their whole in sync without even talking and expecting the other to understand because they have this crazy level of faith in each other thing they have been doing since they first met. Chuuya maybe more so because Dazai might not even be aware Chuuya wasn't a vampire.

Chuuya is smart enough to fool actual geniuses and outsmart computer brained androids. That guy is not stupid and can very well deal with Fyodor who was already blinded by his hubris.

[munchkin1156]

MWAHAHAHA I have given you Irza knowledge

Yes! His dad is a dragon! A dragon in human form, to be more exact...he has powers of a vampiric quality and he passed them down to his son. Except, he doesn't even know Irza exists...nope, his dad is not gone, he will appear but...who says they'll know they're related?

Also it wasn't a virus, I called it a parasite. It's a plant type parasite. They force fed her an ancient seed that no one has any information about. It eats her magic to grow and once the Mana is deplenished it will actually feed off her soul. That's why he keeps healing his mom to keep her alive, and force the plant back into a seed. Problem is, it has a mind of its own and he's tried many different ways to try and get the seed out, but every attempt ends with it attacking his mom, draining her so fast he's too busy healing her to keep her seconds from death than to remove the seed.

So yes he's stealing to try and help her. Because dragons...are really hated and put down. There aren't any actual dragons, only mixed blood are left...the actual dragons disappeared. To be fair Irza tried to become a hero first, but they kicked him out because dragons aren't qualified.

The people that fed her the seed are extremely important and involved with the dragon's disappearance...and Ezephr existing...

K now on to the killing part...yes he has killed. He has killed a lot, actually. Some were accidents because he thought he held back but didn't. He's also hunting down the people that did this to his mom. Make no mistake, Irza is extremely strong. He earned that strength by aiming to get stronger constantly. All his motivation goes to protecting his mom and getting revenge.

Yes you're right, his roommate is the hero. Neither of them know about the other side. Irza doesn't know he's a hero and he doesn't know Irza is a villain.

And he toys with the hero. He is having fun and making it a game like "can you catch me?" And the hero is actually terrified of him but keeps insisting he isn't a bad person and wants to know why Irza is being a villain...so actually he doesn't want to help only out of costume. He's trying to help the villain too.

Now lemme say: Irza inherited his mom's healing power and his dad's vampiric powers (his dad's is weak in him though), but also developed his own unique shadow magic. There isn't a single other person in the world with the same power as him. And his dad's side gave him a chameleon type of ability. He has three colors his eyes can be and two for his hair.

Eyes: Gold (his normal), blue (stronger healing), red (as a villain)

Any more questions?

I'll send art of him when I start explaining Vara

Hair: Black (his normal), white (stronger healing/as a villain)

:OOOOOOOO THATS SO COOL THOSE ARE GREAT ANSWERS IM SO INVESTED RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!

Nope! No more questions! Please continue spamming me!

:0 descriptions? Niceeee!!

(imma go to sleep for an hour, wake up for an hour, and repeat, I’ve forgotten to do homework and I’m dying, see you then! Probably.)

Tea and Books Asks

Tagged in by @littledreamling , @mathomhouse-e , and @quillingwords thank you!

1. What period of history do you enjoy learning about?

As long as it's not the fucking founding of America and drafting of the constitution, again, we're golden

2. Who is your favourite fictional character and why?

Of all time? Impossible. Current fandom specifically? ...uh. Kind of also impossible. But I think if pressed Hob might just barely edge out Dream in the standings. Because? Because...his vibes? Immortal Everyman who's not all woe-is-me this-life-is-misery is a delight and idk he's just got that je ne sais quoi that makes me smile and say 'That one, that's my favorite'?

3. What do you order at a café?

It's a rare occurrence but. Some sort of coffee, extra sweet, extra whichever flavor added. Caramel and pumpkin spice are both excellent

4. Libraries, botanical gardens, or art galleries?

Of the three, I've only ever been to libraries, so, that

5. Do you have a favourite film soundtrack?

Beauty and the Beast 1991 probably. The score tracks on that just. Do things to me. Fond of a lot of Hans Zimmer's work as well (Lion King, PotC off the top of my head) and I keep circling back around to the Robin Hood Prince of Thieves soundtrack every few years

6. What does your dream home look like?

Underwater. With bits above water too, maybe half and half, but the important things I've always wanted are submarine airlock entryways and enormous windows with an underwater view. Not too far from civilization either

7. What makes you feel better on gloomy days?

Long solo drives with good music played loud

8. What are your top three films? Books?

Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home; The Princess Bride; Beauty and the Beast

I've read fanfic almost exclusively the past twenty years but, let me think...I was very taken with the Shannara series by Terry Brooks in high school; I spent some time on the Vampire Chronicles after that and The Vampire Armand was my favorite (because Armand was my favorite more than because it was actually a good book)

9. Are you an organized person, generally?

...Ish. I dislike clutter and mess, but I wouldn't really classify myself as 'organized' by any standard measure of the word

10. Do you have a favourite classic novel?

...I am extremely fond of Alice in Wonderland and Wizard of Oz both but more for their permutation into pop culture and malleability therein than for their actual books specifically

11. What character archetype or trope is your favourite?

I have a laundry list, and they're generally best when multiple tropes are blended in one character. But maybe...let's go with The Foreigner, The Outsider, the one who often holds up a lens to humanity or whatever majority/default group is involved to offer commentary, try to understand, and who is perpetually Apart from them, usually unable (or unwilling) to quite blend in or assimilate completely even when they may be welcomed and accepted.

12. Do you prefer baking or cooking?

...give me a relatively simple recipe with clear instructions and I'll probably be okay, in either arena

13. Which season do you feel at home in?

In my current climate? Summer. Summer means I can get out and go places and do things. I love autumn in theory but in practice it's far too short, far too cold too quickly, and just a very depressing reminder of the half-a-year of winter that will follow

14. What is your opinion on poetry?

It should absolutely exist, integral facet of humanity, etc. Not really anything I actively seek out, however

15. Do you speak formally when texting and emailing?

Emails are nearly always business related whether home or work, so yes. Texts are not exactly formal but it's rare that I'd ever fail to capitalize, use copious abbreviations, etc. Punctuation droppage depends entirely on who I'm talking to and whether I need the clarity punctuation can provide

16. How do you organize your music playlists?

Haaaaaah. Let me count the ways:

- by artist, when I want The Good Tracks from their discography (and related projects) in chronological order

- by genre

- by pairing - many pairs have multiple permutations of their playlist also

- by character

- by character group

- by theme (e.g. Moon, Aquatic, etc)

- by mood

- by fic inspiration/writing soundtrack

- I have playlists for Disney movies where I put the songs and score pieces back in movie order since the soundtracks always group them separately and I also leave out the shitty radio versions of the songs

- I also have a playlist with all my individual Disney playlists combined in chronological order by movie release date

- by vibes

- by which family member I'm driving with

- I have a playlist for stuff that's in (or contains sections that are in) 3/4, 6/8, and various other non-4/4 time signatures

- I have a couple different playlists of favorite voices

- there's a giant playlist where I dump all the stuff I've rated 4 or 5 stars (some 3s may also get included), sorted by play count, for when I don't know quite what I'm really in the mood to listen to

- aaaaaaand then I usually have two or three playlists in constant flux for whatever I'm really craving to listen to at this particular point in time
