Assign fictional vampires to your OCs? Like across any media, any vampire that exists in movies/TV/books/whatever, you can duplicate media if they have multiple vampires, etc.

Let me just preface this by saying that I really don't know a whole lot of vampire characters or watch a lot of vampire media, but I'll try.

Arline Lanes: Um... Claudia? (Interview with a Vampire) (I only briefly watched the movie)

Fox: The Countess (AHS: Hotel)

Carina Shepherd: I guess Jane? (Twilight)

Silas Petersson: Dracopia headcanon/fanon (Ghost) (ha)

Pigeon: Flutterbat (My Little Pony)

Arith: Lazlo Cravensworth (WWDITS)

Iriel: I feel like I have to automatically say Nadja like come on lol (WWDITS)

Kaia: Serana (Skyrim)

Odel: Father Paul? (Midnight Mass)

Marigold Rosales: Countess Ruby (Scary Godmother) (lol)

Rosie Rosales-Maximoff: Draculaura (Monster High) (G1 specifically)

Allison Dahir: Mavis (Hotel Transylvania)

Lee Quinn: Marceline Abadeer (Adventure Time)

Van Kahl: Nosferatu (in Spongebob specifically. I know his name is Count Orlock but they don't call him that in the show)

These two walked

So these two could run

What We Do in the Shadows Season 3 Review (Spoiler Free)

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

This is a spoiler-free review.

What We Do in the Shadows season 3 brings new duties, old flames, sad farewells, and happy endings – though those are mainly enjoyed by Laszlo Cravensworth (Matt Berry), who discovers a treasure trove of the rarest pornography in the known world. There will also be a trip for Guillermo (Harvey Guillén) to the three corners of the earth, which Nandor the Relentless (Kayvan Novak) will learn is round, therefore having no corners, but also not held up on the shoulders of four elephants. The mysterious and mesmerizing Nadja (Natasia Demetriou) continues to bare revelations, though her most memorable is when she reveals herself to a Rat Pack performance act playing the casinos at Atlantic City.

The vampires of Staten Island are moving up in the ranks, following the theatrical demise of the Vampiric Council which closed the curtain on last season. All the better to hide from what may very well be an incursion from the remaining vampires of the Tri-State area, but first they have to deal with a hunter in their midst. The ever-thoughtful familiar Guillermo took out the entire bloodsucking leadership in defense of his masters, revealing himself to be a dangerous asset to keep on the books and pay off them.

The season begins with an episode titled “The Prisoner,” and most of the discussion centers on whether to keep the episodic title character alive. To be honest, even the vampires’ most arduous attempts to do so are feeble enough to kill him through salmonella or e coli, as he is given uncooked packs of grocery chicken parts for sustenance. On one hand, Guillermo broke one of the most talked-about vampire codes: don’t kill vampires. It comes up in every conversation, so it’s a pretty big rule. However, what with all the angry vampires who might be seeking vengeance on the Staten Island quartet, a vampire slayer, “with the stakes and the reflexes and all that,” in the house might prove useful.

Based on the feature film by Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi, What We Do in the Shadows mines the modern trials, tribulations and occasional triumphs of a trio of bloodsucking vampires, and one who feeds on the energy of others. Colin Robinson will turn 100 years old this year, and he spends much of the season tracking down his origin. So much is known about the traditional vampire, but energy vampires are virtually non-existent in the ancient texts, scrolls and shrouds. It could be that they were so annoying they were ignored by historians with better things to do than listen to their endless, draining, conversations.

Nandor will be hit with an eternal-life crisis this season. His entire world-view will be altered by one, interminable chat with Colin Robinson, and will follow his pondering of life as an immortal bachelor with 37 ex-wives. He will contemplate this in the episode “The Cloak of Duplication,” when he tries to kindle the interest of a fitness spa worker, and “Gail,” where he dances to music of the Silver Bullet Band.

“Nandor is looking for love, which has been very fun to play all aspects of what happens when you do look for love,” Kayvan Novak said at the FX Networks’ appearance at the Summer 2021 TCA Press Tour. “You are happy. You are sad. You are depressed. You are horny. You are horny-depressed, you know. You fall in love. You fall out of love. You rekindle love. Nandor seems to have done it all this season. In fact, I don’t know where else there is for Nandor to go.”

According to the advance press, the vampires will be “elevated to a new level of power” this season. An early trailer spoiled that the immortal roommates get promoted to the Vampiric Council. While this might be an error because vampires, by definition, don’t follow Human Resources protocol, WWDITS executive producer and writer Paul Simms told the TCA journalists “It also just seemed funny to us that these this group of vampires, who can’t even really get along with each other, are given a position of power where they’re sort of making judgments on other vampires and struggling with each other.” Executive producer Stefani Robinson added “It just felt like a natural progression from where we left off last season.”

With great power comes great responsibility, which eternal vampires spend lifetimes learning to shirk. “Laszlo says he did not become a vampire to be a paper pusher and doesn’t give a shit about official vampire organizations,” Simms said. “Nadja is a little more bloodthirsty and wants to rule with an iron fist.” The gifted vampire shows her supernatural hunger for power early in the season when she gets the other vampires to count Nadja’s doll as a full-fledged roommate with voting rights. “She’s got so much character and she’s a great actress and she’s played by me,” Natasia Demetriou said.

The vampires will also “encounter the vampire from which all vampires have descended, a tempting Siren, gargoyles, werewolf kickball, wellness cults, and supernatural curiosities galore,” according to the advance press. But viewers will be gifted with unbelievable shows of strength, irredeemable sins of nature, and greater freedom in language. Not only does Nadja’s doll speak Greek, along with Guillermo’s Spanish and whatever Nandor’s native tongue is, but Laszlo learns the cursive.

What We Do in the Shadows season 3 brings mirth and mayhem in equal measure. The humor is not limited to dialogue and physical comedy, and moves at a supernatural pace. The stakes are always high, the jokes are not afraid to go low, and Laszlo thinks everyone should go down on a count, or countess, or even an old friend whose daughter works in marketing. Each episode satisfies a hunger, and slakes a thirst.

What We Do in the Shadows season 3 premieres Sept. 2, on FX.

This post isn't about Nadja, I just wanted to share this pic because it makes me happy and I love my cat so much. 😻😍

So recently (within the last three months) I realized that I'd been struggling with my art for so long because I was trying to be something I'm not. It turns out I never was and never will be a digital artist. Through therapy I discovered that it's just too much for my perfectionism and ADHD, that infinite layers and undo-s (undoes? undies??) paralyze me. I can erase forever without worrying about ruining paper or wasting supplies, but without any boundaries nothing was ever finished. Hell, most things were hardly started! It could always be "more perfect." I was trying to change my style to be more like what I see online, but it wasn't working.

It wasn't really until I'd finished the piece for my sister that I realized that, even though I'd sobbed my eyes out several times while working on it, there was something there still, something I'd been missing with digital art. When I paint with watercolors, there's something else there that's spontaneous, something I can't control, and that was leading to some really cool results! When I painted the wolf for my brother in law, I was actually excited to see what the paint would do. Playing around gave me an awesome effect in the background that I would have overworked to death had it been digital.

All that is to say, I've accepted that I'm analog. Or, maybe a bit of a hybrid in a way since I use my iPad for sketching and then transfer that to paper. Definitely not anywhere near fully digital though. (That's not to say I'm not good at certain KINDS of digital art [my catalog of Sims creations speaks to that!] but yeah definitely way more analog.)

My brain reset...

Edit: WAIT THERE WAS MORE!

Now that I'm getting back to being more comfortable creating art again, I'm going to be pushing myself to do more of the art I know is still inside me somewhere. Ghost Lady is the first attempt at trying to stop being so damned afraid of letting my darker side come out. I'm so annoyed that I'm so scared (OF WHAT?! being mocked??) to be who I am and let that show.

Good thing I'm in therapy.

[aikea-guinea]

New project: Ghost Lady for my fancy frame

Going to redo the frame in black with distressed leafing of some kind! Probably silver because that's what I have at home and also because it'll probably fit the eventual color scheme of the painting better.

Nadja helping.

[aikea-guinea]

FYI: cat breeds are extremely different from dog breeds! To keep it short, dogs have been bred for over 10,000 years whereas cats have more or less just been left to breed however. It's only been in the last less than 200 years that people have begun selective breeding with cats, and even then they're bred more for their looks than anything else.

Having said all that, Nadja's DNA results actually surprised me! I was expecting basically American shorthair standard issue mutt cat with maybe some Maine coon thrown in there, and yet she comes back with a bunch of long haired breeds. I was most surprised to see so much general Persian. Fascinating!

It's also interesting to me that while she's only 13% Siberian, the breed description (minus the long fur and fluffy tail) fits her perfectly! I noticed her stocky legs day one, and am always asking her why she's sitting like a bulldog. 😂

She's currently sleeping on my lap. 💜

[aikea-guinea]

This is the longest stretch of art I've done consistently in decades. Therapy is helping me keep going as I struggle with crippling perfectionism.

As always, Nadja's helping 💜😍😻

Adventures in Framing

(I've become a thrift store frame fiend.)

[aikea-guinea]

I started shutting down again recently but was able to force myself to sit down the other day and do anything art related. These two are now ready to paint.

The girls made sure I didn't flake. 😍😻

[aikea-guinea]

My sweet babies 💜🥰😻😻

[aikea-guinea]

The girls got a new bee toy that they're absolutely obsessed with. Nadja's also obsessed with a bra cup that I really should pick up one of these days.
