speaking of vampirism ("wh- who was speaking about vamp--" doesn't matter, shhh)

I only just realized that Seeking Out Vampirism is quite the extreme method for Modern Dal/Damon to go to in order to kill his father. Like, there are other weapons available. You got knives of course, and guns exist in 1800. He could have used a flintlock rifle perhaps.

But he went with vampirism. In TES verse, his vampirism was not his choice, but in Modern verse, he deliberately sought it out.

Now, initially, his vampirism in Modern Verse is just because I wanted to keep his vampirism relatively constant in AUs at the time. I couldn't imagine him not as a vampire, but that changed eventually. Now I get to come up with a reason why he chose vampirism, of all things.

I suppose it could be a power fantasy thing. Being a vampire would eliminate most ways for his father to win a fight, especially since he didn't know what he was fighting against. Maybe Damon would've liked that power, knowing he couldn't lose anymore, and that fear he would instill in the one who terrorized him and his mother.

Not using a weapon means no murder weapon to be left behind or somehow traced to him. He wouldn't be in any danger of being caught easily, as it would still be a few decades before fingerprinting becomes widely used to identify people, let alone DNA testing.

some recent additions to my vinyl collection

[lovedbydeath]

I apologize in advance because this is going to be so, so long.

This is my inspo blog attached to my TES lad, and his AUs are also attached to his blog. Since I'm listing multiple I figured this blog would be better than any of the dedicated blogs. ANYWAY--

Okay so, my TES OC is Dal!

Dalamus Rex (he/him). Dalamus Rex is a TES OC! He’s a Dunmer/Bosmer (Dark elf/Wood elf) vampire who was originally intended to be a one-off antagonist for my other character, Thaerondil, to face. I felt I had hit a wall when writing Thaerondil, and needed something to force me to get him to mature a bit, so I started writing Dal. Dal was eventually supposed to just disappear or die and. Well. It’s been 12 years and he’s still here! And he’s infecting the rest of my braincells.

Dalamus Rex started out life in Morrowind, to a family with a terrible father and a mother who tried her best but was treated just as awfully by her husband. I won’t go into specifics unless asked, but you can search Dal’s blog and find info (just mind the trigger warnings)! After his mother died, he ran from home and just kept running, eventually making his way into Skyrim at a young age. So while Morrowind might be his homeland, he basically grew up in Skyrim.

In Skyrim, he continued to use his stealth and thievery skills to survive, jaded and unstrusting, until eventually he caught ill with serious respiratory illness and collapsed outside the door of a Bosmer named Falin (fuh-LEEN). Falin took care of him and nursed him back to health with food, kindness, and herbal remedies because Dalamus does not trust mages or healing magic. In spending so much time together, they become fond of each other and fall in love.

Unfortunately, it would be cut short. At Falin’s behest, Dalamus accompanies mercenaries to help clear a den of vampires, and ends up knocked unconscious and unknowingly infected with vampirism himself. Near the end of the week, Dalamus would wake a vampire in the middle of the night and kill his beloved Falin for his first feeding.

Wracked with guilt and shame, he runs and goes into hiding. For nearly two centuries he oscillates violently between ridden with guilt and starving himself, and succumbing to the Thirst and becoming a terror to anyone or anyplace nearby. He is stealthy, and wickedly fast, so god help you if you try to run, because he enjoys the chase. While not the strongest vampire, his agility and athleticism more than makes up for it.

Near the end of the two centuries, he finally evens off into a sort of homeostasis, emotionally speaking, allowing him to integrate himself into society if only to lure people to their death in typical Suave Charming Seductive Vampire fashion. This is where his blog canon takes place.

As he manages his Thirst better and can spend more time among people without needing to feed, he spends his time thieving from people and seducing them for more.. mundane needs. But it also means he has the time and ability and wherewithal to have conversations with people, and conversations often lead to connection. And he starts getting attached. (The next bit is going to be incredibly condensed and summarized because otherwise it’s 10+ years of storytelling).

He starts building bonds with people. He learns to trust. He starts making friends, some to the extent of considering them family. He learns how to be vulnerable. He accidentally hurts friends. He learns how to apologize. He makes up with friends. He finally finds love again. He has a daughter. He cheats on his wife. He learns that apologies are not always enough. They get a divorce, and it hits him hard. But he has supportive people in his life now, his closest of which know he is a vampire and know of his past and that he has killed on his way here.

He learns how to change his behavior while still remaining himself, becoming ever closer to his friends and family. He finds love again, and is now in a stable relationship with an Agent of Mara, who also happens to be a Healer and a werelion. He has several close friends who he quite literally owe his life to, and for whom he would risk his life in an instant to keep them safe. Dalamus is not religious and is still afraid of Healing Magic but he occasionally reads about teachings of Mara when struggling, and he is slowly, slowly working up the nerve to be accepting of magic, although traumatic experiences and misunderstandings of how magic works are significant bumps in the road.

Dal has a lot of AUs because I can't be bothered to make New Guys, so I just obsess over different flavors of the same guy over and over

Damon Rex (he/it) – A vampire in a fantasy Modern Earth who owns a jewelry store called Aeternum Rex (“forever the king”, “forever king”, “king forever”, “eternal king”, however you wanna think of it). CEO, owner, manager, boss, he’s all of it. This is his store, and he uses it to swindle wealthy people :)

He’s also a jeweler, gemologist, silversmith, gemcutter, etc etc. He’s had time to learn it ALL. And he does make some of the available jewelry for the store. Some of it is stolen from the rich and altered to hide the fact. And some of it is synthetic jewelry altered to seem natural. The idea is that he steals valuables from the rich, changes them slightly, then sells them back to the rich when they come around looking for a replacement. Selling the synthetic gems at such a high profit margin also gives him leeway to give discounts to.. whoever he wants, really. But generally it is given to those who are not rich or wealthy, those looking for one-time gifts who will likely not be repeat customers.

He employs mostly teens and young adults from less-than-ideal living situations, or generally those who are desperate for the financial stability to get out of bad situations, buy necessities, etc. How he does this legally, who knows. But he pays them very generously for easy work, and time off is given on the honor system, assuming you will show up when you can work. See, with his speed and with how small the store is, he doesn’t really NEED the help, but he wants to help others.

His own backstory is similar to TES Dal’s in terms of family situation. But where TES Dal’s mother died, Modern Dal became a vampire and returned to save his mother from his father. He then was able to live with and take care of his mother for the rest of her natural life, and this helped give him skills to integrate into society in a healthy manner earlier in his life.

Few people know he is a vampire aside from other supernatural creatures. His employees (who he eventually comes to see as his own kids, in a way) joke about him looking like one or dressing like one, but none of them actually believe anything out of the ordinary is happening. He’s just goth, that’s all. He’s a little scary but he only ever uses his scariness on people who are disrespectful of his employees so it’s fine.

Dalamus Sarangerel (he/they) – FFXIV AU. A Xaela Au Ra who grew up in the Steppes in the Sarangerel tribe. His father is an herbalist, and his mother a hunter, giving him the chance to learn a well-rounded skillset for survival. The particulars of his tribe are TBD, but in my head they’re more bestial than is shown in-game. I'm still trying to figure out how to draw him tbh

They were a peaceful tribe. His tribe worshipped the moon, Dalamud, as a guiding deity–Dalamus’ was even named after it. But when Dalamud turned red and began descending, all manner of creature and people began behaving strangely. Dalamus’ tribe was affected gradually, so gradually he hardly noticed, until they started treating Dalamus himself as a harbinger, and sacrificing animals for their deity.

When the Calamity happened, and Dalamud split open to free the dragon Bahamut, Dalamus got the wake-up call he needed to leave the tribe. Their violence continued, but Dalamus was determined to find a way to reverse their madness.

So, he left for Eorzea (where the game takes place), and discovered that the reason he was unaffected by Dalamud was this mysterious power called the Echo which he unknowingly had. And it meant he was a Warrior of Light. Out of one “prophecy” and into another. Chosen One for a different camp. But if defeating Primals will help him find answers on how to help his tribe, he is willing to do what they ask…

(I haven’t played super far into the game, so, alas, his story is limited!)

Dalamus Strighym (he/him) – BG3 AU. Dalamus Strighym, a Drow born simply as Dalamus, as surnames denoted nobility and a House, and he was born a commoner in the subterranean city of Menzoberranzan 200 years before the events of Baldur’s Gate 3. (Disclaimer: Lolth-sworn Drow society in DnD is all kinds of messed up and potentially Problematic, and I’m well aware, but I’m not going to be the one to fix it; I’m mostly taking it as-is).

His family’s trade was gemcutting, but neither of his brothers showed much aptitude for it. He had two older brothers. Orgoll, the eldest, a mean sonovabitch who delighted in harassing his youngest siblings. Orgoll became a military officer, strong and powerful, and most importantly, feared. Orgoll was jealous of what small amount of favor Dalamus was shown for his gemcutting skills, and would often sabotage his work.

And Nilaufein, second eldest, a weirdo by Drow standards, passionate about his job raising and training Riding Lizards and Pack Lizards, with a curiosity and fascination about the Surface. In private, he was kind, and hated the cruelty which ruled Menzoberranzan, and avoided being cruel whenever possible, instead using his wit and charm to diffuse situations and altercations. Nilaufein tried his best to keep his brothers from seriously injuring each other.

Nilaufein was selected to join a Raid on the Surface when Dalamus was 30. It was to be Nilaufein’s Blooding, the coming-of-age ritual that would see him socially treated as an adult, if he survived. But he never returned, and is presumed dead. Dalamus’ own Blooding was to battle a Displacer Beast with a handful of other Drow, and he survived, but not without massive scarring from a tentacle. To celebrate his success, Orgoll visited at the behest of their parents, but used the opportunity to mock both Dalamus and Nilaufein. Dalamus killed Orgoll later that night.

For a while, Dalamus had peace as the only child. He is excellent at gemcutting, one of the best. He makes good money for himself and his family. Then his sister, Taliira, is born, and immediately becomes the family favorite (Menzoberranzan operates under a Matriarchal Theocracy, where men are second-class citizens at best, and Priestesses of Lolth rule with fear and cruelty). If Taliira can undergo clerical schooling to become a Priestess, the family can be elevated.

And so, much of Dalamus’ money becomes saved and dedicated to Taliira’s teachings. While she is still small, Dalamus is often left to take care of her. He does not dare punish or discipline her, leaving her to do whatever she wants. At first, this meant hanging around him and curiously watching him work on his jewelry. She’d ask innocent questions, he’d give straightforward answers. But as she grew up and was encouraged to be cruel, Dalamus became target practice for her budding magic skills. Despite only being a teen, she was a hellion, and further compounded Dalamus’ dislike of magic, especially anything that manipulated the mind or body.

She eventually was sent off to schooling, at which point Dalamus got a few years of peace. Until the minor noblewoman, Nedvyllanna Strighym, set eyes upon him. She thought he looked handsome, and interesting (his eyes and hair are not the typical Drow colors often selectively bred for), and his jewelry skills were second-to-none, and she wanted him for herself. And so she did. He became her personal gemcutter, jeweler, and favored consort.

I won’t go into details what that entails bc again, messed up society (if you’re interested then you can check his blog where I’ve written headcanons). But we will just say he is not treated kindly, and yet, because of how twisted the society is and the expectations for men, he thinks it’s fine, even preferable in some cases. After 8 years, they have a son. He is not allowed to see or be around the son and does not get attached.

Two years later, he gets caught stealing from another noble (at Nedvyllanna’s request), and his punishment is exile. She injures him with a whip and sends him out to wander the Underdark and hopefully die. But he survives, using his piwafwi for stealth, his knowledge of Underdark flora to stanch his bleeding, and a little subtle help from a Goddess he does not worship (and doesn’t realize it’s her doing). He doesn’t escape unscathed, though, as an encounter with a bear-like creature called a Quaggoth gives him a back injury that’ll prove permanent and be a source of both chronic and acute pain.

But he makes it to the Surface. And despite being blinded by the light and exhausted by the heat, he makes it to a town, and then a city, and commissions a back-support corset to be made. About a month later, he receives the corset–and the Nautiloid appears over Yartar and begins abducting people, Dalamus included.

So now he’s got this mind flayer parasite behind his eye, his back injury is still healing, heck his face and neck scarring isn’t completely healed yet, and now he has to work with strangers on the Surface where the sun burns his skin and blinds him, to try and figure out how to remove the parasites before they all become Mind Flayers.

It’s been a helluva time the past few weeks for him.

Other versions of Dal I occasionally talk about but don’t have specific blogs for:

Dalrex – (Fallout) An odd, intelligent dark-colored Alpha Deathclaw. Seems to have a proclivity for finding shiny loot to try and decorate his hide with. Curiously able to speak, but not much more than a child. Extremely dangerous, and yet some say he’s actually docile unless given a reason to be otherwise. Not many are willing to test that theory, though.

PokeDal – (Pokemon) An adult pokemon trainer named Damon. He’s gaunt, has bags under his eyes, is pale, and a Lampent follows him around. It’s believed Lampent is a sort of emissary of death, appearing right before someone dies to take their soul, and yet Damon is still here. Some say it’s because he’s actually a vampire! But he’s not. Probably. He’s just a tired recluse who lives in a castle. He takes care of a sanctuary for pokemon who can’t, won’t, don’t want to, or shouldn’t become partner pokemon for trainers for various reasons. His team consists of mostly Dark types. Lemme see if I can remember… Houndoom, Corviknight, Umbreon, Zoroark, Lampent, Crobat. I think.

Stardew Dally – (Stardew Valley) Dalmatius is a farmer who got tired of the monotony of working for a corporate entity. He’s a bit pale and thin but surprisingly strong. He always wears his straw hat because he burns in the sun so easily. Just might be a vampire. He mostly keeps to himself, but holds respect for the townspeople.

MonHun Dal – (Monster Hunter) An arrogant, tall Wyverian man named Dalakai. Unlike many of his people, who dedicate their lives to the study and understanding of the world around them through scholarly endeavors, Dalakai thrives being a Monster Hunter. He is considered immature and brash by his people, but his skills are nothing to sneeze at.

I have other OCs, but Dal has taken a firm hold of my braincells for over a decade so I tend to focus on him.

But I'll show you another TES OC, my gentle giant Argonian lad, Seeks-the-Light (or Sakeel Suuk Azeez is his Jel name, entirely non-canon words; I can't for the life of me remember where I got them). His design changes slightly every time i draw him lmao

As for the ER visits, I hope things turn out alright and you feel better soon!!!

im on my third er visit in a month and im bored outta my MIND can yall tell me abt ur ocs pretty please. idgaf if theyre even tes ocs show me ur fursona or whatever brother

Basking

Damon in “Human” form cannot stand direct sunlight (or heat) for lengthy amounts of time, it physically damages him and becomes extremely painful.

But just as clothes can protect his skin, the fur, feathers, or scales of animals can protect the skin from direct exposure to the sun, allowing him to briefly enjoy the warmth that humans get to feel daily. Though his eyes are still sensitive to light, exposed skin as an animal seems more durable against sun.

This said, the light and heat of direct sunlight is still to be closely monitored, as it can still cause problems. For best results, indirect sunlight such as through a tinted window is preferable. Rarely does a cat nap here last long enough to cause issues, as he will get up and move when he begins to feel too warm.

Once he returns to his human form, he will be tired from the sun exposure even without physical damage, and will need to feed within the same day to avoid worse negative consequences. A bit like a mild hangover.

If in animal form for too long, and sun exposure and bloodthirst becomes a serious problem, he will exhibit signs that look similar to mange and/or rabies--fur/feathers/scales become dull and begin falling out, he begins to drool, is extremely irritable, and liable to lash out. He will not calm nor have the faculties to return to human form until bloodthirst is sated.

Once he returns to human form after this bloodthirst, he experiences something akin to a hangover from hell--exhausted, head pounding, confusion, unsteadiness after being an animal in such a state for so long, excessive sensitivity to light. It will pass on its own after some time in a dark, quiet room. As someone who takes pride in his self-control, being in this state is extremely embarrassing and shameful for him, and he will likely wish to be left alone.

Despite this potential (but rare) unpleasant consequence, this does not prevent him from “basking,” but he saves it for times when he is well-fed. It is more of a treat than an everyday occurrence.

"On the street where you live" - Vic Damone

1956 Music: Frederick Loewe; lyric: Alan Jay Learner

"Are there lilac trees In the heart of town? Can you hear a lark in any other part of town? Does enchantment pour Out of every door? No, it’s just on the street where you live."

By George, he's got it! I do believe he's got number 8 in Let's Do It, my personal fifty favourite singles from 1954-76.

Learner and Loewe's musical My Fair Lady was the toast of Broadway in 1956. Based on George Bernard Shaw's play Pygmalion, the musical tells of Henry Higgins and Eliza Doolittle, and the bet that Higgins can pass cockney sparra Eliza off as a duchess. While training to win the bet, Eliza captures the heart of Freddy Eynsford-Hill, and the posh young lad is head over heels in love at first sight.

"On the street where you live" is sung by Freddy, the most love-struck and giddy fool in the show. The song captures a headrush of emotions and hormones and wanting to be with your unrequited crush so badly. The song wasn't appreciated in previews, on the grounds that Freddy hadn't been properly introduced: this is why they do re-writes.

A top ten hit Stateside in 1956, and a number 1 on Britain in 1958 after the musical became the must-see show in the West End: it was the Hamilton or Wicked or Cats of its day. Julie Andrews and Rex Harrison transferred from Broadway in the lead roles, Freddy was played by Leonard Weir (father of Nick Weir, the sometime Catchphrase host. Can we imagine Stephen Mulhern being this giddy? Easily!)

Although John Michael King originated the stage role, it was Vic Damone who had the big hit single. Vic was an experienced actor and singer, though he failed to move with the times and never embraced rock 'n' roll.

In the grand parade of number 1 singles, it's the end of an era: musicals and theatre had been eclipsed by beat music. If I'm not mistaken, only three songs from current stage musicals have been to number 1 on GB since ("Don't cry for me Argentina" in 1977; "Any dream will do" in 1991; "No matter what" in 1998).

If Dal was a cat, what kind of cat would he be...?

A sleek lanky shorthair because he's a rogue-type? A luxuriously long-hair because of his, well, long hair that he's vain about? An active breed because he's a busybody who always needs work to do?

hmmm

Saurnament Profiles: GeoGreymon [Digimon]

GeoGreymon is a Digimon, debuting (I think) with the Digimon Savers season of the Digimon anime (known as Digimon Data Squad in the dub) in 2006. There, it was the partner of the main character Masaru Daimon/Marcus Damon. Obviously, it's related to the regular Greymon that most people are more familiar with, but cooler. It is a Champion stage of Agumon, digivolving further into RizeGreymon, followed by ShineGreymon.

It's probably tempting to write it off immediately as a T-rex, but it and regular Greymon more closely resemble the Ceratosaurus, judging from the horns and non-pathetic arms! Ceratosaurus's name comes from the Greek 'keratos', meaning horn, and of course the suffix 'sauros', often translated as "lizard" but also more generally means "reptile".

Ceratosaurus, naturally, was known for its horns, one big one in the center of the nose area, and two on ridges above its eyes, just like Greymon and GeoGreymon. The Wikipedia article has more info, but it's actually not clear if the main horn was used for offense/defense, or just as a mating display.

It also had a row of osteoderms (basically just bony protrusions) going down its spine. Neither Greymon has these, but GeoGreymon does have some more ridges along the jaw! These were almost certainly not inspired by these osteoderms, but it's worth pointing out anyway.

As far as we know though, Ceratosaurus was incapable of suddenly changing forms and gaining a giant machine gun for an arm, along with mechanized jet propellers that enabled it to fly. But hey, we can't say for certain that it couldn't!
