An extreme cringe Jam post because ‼️‼️‼️ i am free

Id like to remind everyone that they are cringefail losers 🎉🎉🎉

Also please Ignore that I mispelled mischievous

[creative-clawmarks]

Now that the Liveleak Ending exists as more than just an interesting hypothetical, I figured it was about time I made something solid for what Jay actually becomes...

Jay (Energy Vampire):

Standard package of fast healing, unnatural speed, and unbeating heart. Probably immortal, we'll have to wait and see.

Psychically feeds upon the suffering of humans. It needs to be intense emotion and he needs to be physically present to get any real sustenance out of it but he can at least snack on lighter negativity.

His skull is lined with eyes Bloodborne style. He can bring them to the surface whenever and wherever he pleases, meaning the placement and appearance of his eyes is never consistent.

A daytime monster, unaffected by heat and light. Conversely, he can't stand extreme cold and loud noises.

Beyond keen eyesight, capable of seeing clearly in the brightest light and darkest dark with the field of vision of a bug with compound eyes.

If he makes eye contact with someone he can compel them, a sort of mind control which makes his targets suggestible and easy to manipulate.

Has sub-dermal chitin that makes him especially crunchy, this shows through his skin as shiny freckles.

He can't purr, but he can chitter like a cicada for the same purpose :)

AU in which the gang gets together again at the end but i get to pull fingernails off jay merrick in return

au under the cut

I've said it before but the operator is an otherworldly creature, a metaphor for mental illness and probably is unable to feel anything. But I wholeheartedly believe he is jay's number one hater. If we think of it as a leech, it tries to take and feed on people that are like, worth the fight. No need to waste the energy you won't get back.

So in this AU the gang came together at the end and literally made themselves not worth the fight with, I'm not kidding, the power of friendship and prescription drugs. Strength in numbers and allat.

BUT once again, in this AU the operator evolved due to sheer hatred towards jay and is now able to feel rage. To extents i deem comedic nothing more. So it hunts jay down nonetheless

So as long as jay keeps doing the things to keep the operator away (socializing, taking meds, ignoring it) it can't seriously harm him (except for a few nosebleeds, headaches or nightmares).

But jay DOESN'T do all that, instead, now that he is somewhat safe, he tries to figure out how to get rid of it permanently and keeps bumping into it

Cue the ghostbusters/sally face shenanigans in which i put jay merrick through even more horrors and the gang has to save him time and time again

Okay, guys, I SWEAR to you all I draw normal marble hornets shit and it’s not all shitposts of jam it just happens that it’s the funniest thing to post. Also don’t mind the design to timeline inconsistency okay? Okay!

[cbrownjc]

Hmm. On the one hand, I have to admit I’m a bit surprised that Lestat would tell everything directly to Louis, as I thought he would tell it to Daniel because Louis would be recovering from trying to take his own life (and dealing with Claudia’s spirit probably) in Season 3, while Lestat told his story to Daniel concurrent with that. 

But Lestat and Louis actually sitting down and talking to each other? Wow, took you two over 100 years to get there, but if this is true, then yes, thank goodness. It'll be something long overdue.  

And hell, Lestat - in the books - primarily wrote The Vampire Lestat to give info he held back from Louis, and to explain himself to Louis as well. So it would fit wrt that too.

Though, if this is true, I kinda wonder if we will get the Merrick ending in Season 2. Louis was rather angry at Lestat for saving his life after the Merrick event. However . . . maybe they’ll change that and Louis will already be recovered enough to sit and really listen to Lestat’s story. (Which will also mean no present-day Claudia in any form in Season 3, only flashbacks probably.) 

And I still don’t see Daniel being turned into a vampire at the end of Season 2. It’s still too soon IMO. Meaning that Daniel sticking around in Dubai probably gives some credence to the theory that Daniel was brought there to Dubai mainly for Armand IMO. And Armand’s not letting Daniel leave again if he can help it IMO. 

And Daniel probably will find himself wanting to stay in Dubai anyway, to at least confront Armand/try to fully remember what happened back in the 70s-early 80s between them, which does fit with my idea/theory that we’d get full-blown Devil’s Minion flashbacks in Season 3.

So what we might have in Season 3 is both primary pairings mainly talking to each other and hashing things out (finally): Louis-Lestat together, talking about and learning things i.e., Louis finally hearing Lestat’s full story; and Armand-Daniel off in another part of the penthouse doing the same wrt each other and the whole past-Devil’s Minion situation. Maybe even Armand’s telling Daniel some of his backstory that we might not get in Season 2.

Again, this is all assuming this rumor is true of course. 

The user on Twitter is luvwHK. She said that Sam is filming the scenes where he recovers after the murder and that he is preparing to leave for Prague. She also said that they still don't know how he will tell his story in s3 but they are thinking about Lestat telling it to Louis face to face and that Sam agrees with this version. Please if you read the thread on Twitter can you come back and tell what you think about it? Thanks!

Hey, thx, found it (also thx to @crazykuroneko for dropping me the link at the same time 🤗💕)

Well.

So the rat eating, preying on the weak or young is chronologically in IWTV, even if it is told by Lestat in TVL. So that does not necessarily mean we get Lestat’s story, imho.

But it is interesting, because it might be something that Armand later tells … because Armand would know (afterwards).

And as per the season 3 rumor … well.

I SURE HOPE THEY DO THAT 😅

Yes please. With Armand and Daniel there, too. That would be my favorite thing ever 😅😈

Marble Hornets Tma au where all the horrors are real and there are still no happy endings. YAY.

Jay becomes an eye avatar, always watching, always recording. He dies not fully understanding any of the things he observes. He starts off normal enough, until he gets the tapes from Alex and starts going through them. Exposure to the Operator is what spreads its influence and it's eyeless stare never leaves after. His constant drive to discover more, to poke his nose in places it doesn't belong, is what inevitably turns him into an avatar.

Tim's the one that brings the Operator to the group. He's tormented by both the spiral and the eye, the Operator lies between the two entities. He has a brief stint with the Stranger when he's working with Brian to try and kill Alex but he's able to reject it the same way Daisy tries to reject the hunt in the podcast. He's deeply marked by several of the fears but he's especially marked by the Eye.

Brian succumbs to the Lonely. He's no longer the man he used to be after joining Alex's student film production with Tim. His main goal is still to kill Alex, who's going around and killing all his friends. He still cares for them, even if the feeling is dull. The main thing that drives him is his anger towards Alex.

Alex becomes something of the Hunt. He believes wholeheartedly that he's doing good when he hunts down and kills his friends. He fully believes he's helping stop the spread of the knowledge of these monsters. He fully believes that everything will be better for everyone if all of the people becoming avatars die, including himself. He especially wants to kill Tim, knowing he was the one that brought this world of fears to them.

Tangy Delectibility | Vampire!Alex Kralie x Jay Merrick

jaylex | vampire au | 2k words | 16+

this isn't a masterpiece, I literally wrote this in probably an hour but I'm on a jaylex and a writing kick.

vaguely based off of @creative-clawmarks's liveleak au (au on the brain chat)

not really canon correlated.

The apartment was dim, the only light leaking through being the kitchen light some feet away from where they sat, providing just little enough light for Alex’s eyes not to feel like they were burning out of his sockets and just enough for Jay to see him. They sat in mostly silence, so much so you could hear a pin drop into the carpet— Or, at least, Alex could.

His arms were wrapped around Jay’s waist, head tilted slightly up to stare blankly at the barren ceiling of his apartment, trying to ignore how the other male was trying to weasel his way into getting bitten onto. This was just how their relationship was; When exactly it had started he couldn't fully pinpoint, but ever since that first bite, both of them were thoroughly hooked— though Alex refused to admit he was, he didn't rely on Jay’s blood to get by, it was just a treat— It was just something he could look forward to weekly in his boring and frankly irritating life. Jay however, he was completely reliant on the toxin that would seep from Alex’s fangs, psychologically dependent on the effects of it that would render him damn near paralyzed. It wasn't even addictive, yet anyone who saw Jay coming after it every week would probably assume it was. Hell, maybe Jay was just that pathetic.

Alex could feel the boy pushing his head into the crook of his neck, and he couldn't help but let out a low sigh as their skin brushed together. He had been ignoring the others desperate attempts to get his fix, opting to act like nothing was happening courtesy of the pounding headache pressurizing the inside of his skull right now. He could only take so much bright fluorescent lighting, loud garbles of everyone’s overlapping voices, and 3 hours of getting his head slammed with knowledge and things to remember before he had enough, and he had nearly forgotten that Jay was even coming over until he heard the knock at his door because of it. He knew it would be best to just stop stalling, alleviate his pain with his favourite nutrient source and give Jay exactly what he wanted in turn— But God, he was procrastinating. Hard.

“Alex..”

His thoughts were broken apart before he could continue his ridiculous conundrum of being too damn lazy to get what he needed when it was right in front of him by the sound of what he needed right in front of him, eyes finally tearing away from burning holes into the ceiling to glance down at the heap of brown hair at the bottom his vision. Jay’s voice was slightly muffled, shivers being sent down Alex’s spine as his lips brushed against the skin of his neck. Damn tease.

“You okay?” He continued, his voice gradually drawing off into a whine before he pressed a kiss into Alex’s neck. He swore, Jay got on his damn nerves sometimes, but God, everyone did. He didn't think a person walked on this planet that couldn't piss him off at this point.

He let out a sigh he didn't know he had been holding, combing his fingers through the others hair after shifting his eyes away from him. Jay hadn't done anything particularly wrong besides be worried, and needy, he really didn't have any reason to be getting upset at him. God, maybe he did just need to eat— Or, well, drink.

“Yeah, I’m fine,” He breathed out in yet another sigh, like the first one hadn’t fully made its escape yet. “Just.. tired.” He excused, his shoulders sagging a little. He wondered if Jay could see right through him, right though his ‘just tired’ umbrella excuse he used to brush off everything. Was he tired? Probably, but he was damn irritated and his head was killing him and he was probably starving by now. He probably could— They’ve known each other for, what, 5 some years now?-

Yet again, his thought train derailed suddenly as he felt a hand press against him right at the bottom of his ribcage. He felt himself jolt, a heat coming to his face that he would rather die than keep feeling— “I know what could make you feel better..”— Filled his ears, the most allusive words said in the meekest of voices. He hated when Jay did that, he knew the other knew what he was doing, saying things like that acting all innocent. He was a hell of a lot more of a string-puller than people gave him credit for, that was for sure. He just couldn’t be patient, could he?-

The slightly shorter male lifted himself from where he was tucked in Alex’s neck, tilting his head in such a way to reveal more skin, skin that was adorned with the light scarring of every other time Alex sunk his teeth in. God, he really needed to be more careful about that, he couldn't just let Jay walk around looking like he got attacked or something—

A hand slid up on his shoulder, fingertips subtly brushing against the fabric of his shirt. Jay’s eyes said it all— He knew what he wanted, he knew what Alex needed, and he knew that they both knew. It made the blond question if he should just give in, if he should have given in hours ago– If he should just stop being stubborn and give his body what it needed, especially since Jay was offering himself so willingly.

“Hungry?” Jay broke their silence, pulling at the collar of his own shirt to show more of his skin, the tendons moving visibly under his flesh and making him all the more appealing. Alex felt his eyes narrow right on the spot he knew gave him the best results, his hunger awakening like a beast stirring from a long sleep. He suddenly wanted nothing more but to lunge at the other, taste the tang of his flavour and—

No, no, he needed to stop himself there. Jay didn't control him and he certainly didn't need his offers. Besides, he should probably just wean off of this whole thing now, before he seriously couldn't control himself anymore. Surely, if he just learned to live without the taste of blood in his mouth, he’d stop having such urges, right? If he caught it early?

“No, I’m fine.” His voice rang out, sterner than he probably intended. He casted his gaze off again, not wanting to feel his own resolve crumble the moment he looked into Jay’s heavy lidded eyes. But even as he avoided eye contact, he could feel the others' stare bore into him. He didn't buy it, but hell, did Alex even believe himself?

“You're always hungry.” He filled the silence, the words making Alex’s lips purse. Yeah, he probably was. There was probably never a moment where he wasn't smelling blood, hearing everyone’s heartbeat over his own that had faded out by now, never a moment where the urge ebbed at the back of his mind— But he’d probably tuned it out. Years of doing that with humanly food had prepared him well for becoming an eldritch monster, who would have thought?

He let out a sigh through his nose, weighing his options. Would it make much of a difference if he gave in one last time, as long as he kept himself in check later? Jay was offering, he wanted it just as much as Alex did. What would the harm be? He just wouldn't take as much blood this time..

He casted his gaze over, narrowed eyes staring deep into Jay’s green ones, fighting to not fall over the skin of his neck that his peripheral was honed in on. It would get rid of his headache, that was a benefit, right? It was the only thing that would help, he knew that.. What choice did he have?

“Fine. Just a little.” He grumbled, shifting in his spot on the couch under the bleek weight of Jay. He could have sworn he saw his eyes light up from the corner of his eye, but he casted that thought aside in favour of moving his hands to press flush against Jay’s lower back, pressing him a little closer. Jay moved without a fight, draping his head over Alex’s shoulder to angle the skin of his neck parallel with his teeth. Alex’s eyes bore into exactly where he wanted to bite— The fleshy part right in front of the largest tendon. That part always gave him the best results.

They sat in unmoving silence for a moment, Jay’s breath quietly sounding out as it fanned across Alex’s own neck. He let his hunger build, the pressure soon filling out his gums as his fangs protracted in, pupils dilating while the clawing ache of fervour dug into his being. This is what Jay asked for, and he would give him what he wanted.

After what could only have felt like ages, he leaned forward, wetting the skin with his tongue just to give the briefest of warning before sinking his teeth in, moving with Jay as he tensed. This was a delicate procedure— He wasn't looking to rip his throat out with his teeth, afterall. They just had to keep still for a little longer..

Once he tasted the tangy, copper flavour of liquid seeping past his teeth, he knew he hit the right spot. He retracted them, only to latch right back onto his skin, licking at the blood beading out. He could hear Jay’s hitched breath, feeling the way his throat and chest stuttered each time, but he ignored it to focus instead on the eye-rolling delectability of the others blood, his hands moving to grip his hips to keep him in place.

He could feel Jay’s growing limpness as the toxin worked its magic to fill his mind with haziness, his head dropping down fully onto his shoulder as Alex sucked down the blood until he was sure it would stop pouring. He could feel the pressure in his head ease up, his irritation being smoothed over by the calming balm he was drinking down. When he was satisfied, he moved back, soothing the bite wound with his tongue to numb the pain soon and, hopefully, not leave too big of a scar. Who knew you’d get a free neomycin built into your saliva when you're turned into a beast? Definitely not Alex.

He moved away, his back resting against the couch yet again as he casted his gaze over at the male in his lap, watching as he swayed before falling limp against his chest. He moved a hand up, combing through the back of his hair. “Happy now?” He questioned, his voice now smooth without the migraine and irritation ebbing behind every word. Jay didn't reply anything besides a grunt, but that was all he needed to do. Alex knew the answer, he knew it was a yes, because it was always a yes.

He let his head lean back against the couch as he basked in the newfound relief flooding through his head, the metallic taste still coating the roof of his mouth. He should have just done this hours ago— Maybe he wouldn't have been so pissy the whole time. He continued going through the motions of his “I can't believe I was so stupid” self lecture, unbeknownst to the fact that his talking blood supply was sliding off of his lap until he heard the sound of his knees hitting against the carpeted-over concrete floor. The sound made Alex cringe slightly— He may have built up a higher tolerance now, but he knew good and well what that felt like.

His eyes traced back over to where Jay now sat between his legs on the floor, observing him to see if this was a complete accident or his own doing. It was a valid response, Jay had learned how to navigate the heavy stupor of the toxin by now, and he had interesting desires and even more interesting ways of going about getting them. Alex learned over the years not to question it, and he especially didn't now when he felt the pressure of Jay’s head resting against his stomach, eyes closed and body heavy. He stayed still for just another beat of silence, before lacing his fingers back through the others hair, letting him stay there for the time being. Both of them were satisfied, and he was sure both of them were content with being sat in comfortable silence instead of the usual tension.

He just had to hold back from doing this next time. Or, maybe the time after that instead..
