Pizzatober Day 7 - Taunt! Some unique taunts for Pep, but instead of pop culture references, they are all references to art I have done/my own lore jfdkfd

Flower Crown | Floor Time | Knife Pep

Put Him In Da Box | Delivery! | Disco Pep

??? ??? | Pep's Peppino Disguise (also a reference to Peppino's idle in-game) | Sopping Wet Creature (Another link to them)

Also a little bit of a spoiler, but ??? with no censor bc I actually drew his eyes this time! Fun fact: usually I do not do that if I am gonna censor it, so all the censor bars/scribbles don't have anything under them!!!

Another Fun Fact, the image of him looking in the mirror, he has no head at all!!!

That's not foreshadowing anything or anything

"how could anyone ship bloodweave they make no sense at all" did you think about their stories, their motives, their ailments, their shared hobbies, the subtle progression of their relationship throughout the acts, and how very similar they can be despite being different. i know that you didn't but if you had then perhaps you would understand why some people might ship them, especially since a) you can successfully romance them in an origin run thus making it possible, b) astarion already tries flirting with gale unprompted in act 1, and c) you can romance astarion with a good-aligned pc and romance gale with an evil-aligned pc. so, like. what's not clicking

Wow! You're so cool looking, Parhelion Knight. I love your wings!

I'm curious: how did you find Parhelic Anima and what made you decide to become its guardian?

Don't think yourself so highly to be as lucky.

So how long have lady and diesel known each other?

What do you think they looked like in thier 20's?

By "diesel" you mean Diesel 10, right?

They (Ada and Damara) have known each other for a long time, approximately 10+ years since they would have met in their late 20s.

I've drawn them a couple of times when they were slightly younger but this is what they would have looked like in their 20s sort of!

Some lore under the cut 👇

Ada was still a driver around this time, and she was a bit more assertive (believe it or not). Her constant enthusiasm about railways made her the "weird" girl in her family of sisters since she was almost fully raised by her godfather who was a railway company owner.

Damara on the other hand was kind of a pushover and an outlier in the fleet because he spent most of his time in the US before working in the UK. He might have been strong, but he was insecure about a lot of things back then and it wasn't easy for him to get upset unless something really warranted it. A few people recall he might have rarely snapped and even had a fight with Gordon (name pending).

Together, they made a team that balanced each other out because they're both oddballs in their own ways but also had some ideas which would have made their branchline function a lot better. Unfortunately, this all happens in the era of dieselization... so their partnership would eventually fall apart.

By the time they had their near-fatal dispute they would have been in their 30s... and then they meet again in their 40s under some very strange circumstances. I can't spill everything just yet though, but you could guess that what happened between them wasn't pretty.

Heyyyy Jester. As always I hope you are just living your best life! I really Do. 😇

I don't know if this has been asked but seeing as the story leans into it I was wondering how the ROs would react if MC took a hit for them and got hurt.

Tho i feel like... you are gonna tell me I'm asking spoilers aren't you....👀

aww, hello!! i've lost my voice so i can't say i'm living my absolute best life (i'm a big talker lol), but i'm mostly good!!

i hope you and your family are well too :)!

after a little bit of consideration i've actually decided that i should be able to safely answer this, if i don't go into too much detail, so you're in luck ;)

An active battlefield. Not quite what you were used to but, of course, that's likely why the Queen had insisted on doing a simulation (something about everyone having to be prepared, you honestly couldn't pay too much attention as you were hustled out onto the palace grounds). It had been going well, you could dodge and parry and strike, then rinse and repeat, until one guard got slightly too close to hitting your charge and all you could do was throw your arm in the way of their blade...

---

A. Bellefleur;

It wasn't serious. MC was fine. It wasn't serious. MC was fine. It wasn't- There was blood. The blade had slice over your arm, opening a mostly superficial wound into it, though there was blood soaking into your sleeve. The guard was apologising profusely, you were ensuring them you were fine, there were no hard feelings...except. Except A. felt guilt, a burning in their chest that threatened to consume them. They knew it would come, they had felt it once before, as soon as they realised what had happened.

You don't see them again until their next meeting, and you can hear the scratch in their voice when they speak, as though they had been crying for a long, long time.

K. Valiev;

They're at your side in a second, hands hovering over your arm, not quite touching (as though they were afraid to touch you), worry creasing their features. The guard that had hit you, however, seemed petrified, his apology yelped out like a wounded animal's cry, before he scurried away from the two of you, pointedly avoiding your gaze.

They get you settled in the infirmary, and then disappear for a while. When they reappear it's like nothing has happened, they bring you food and drink, and watch over you carefully. You notice, however, that the guard who injured you refuses to approach you, and you could swear he looks afraid if you get too close...

A. Caras;

Their gripes echo over the sounds around you as they march over ("Are you stupid? This is a practice, I'm not supposed to get work during a practice!"), their bag of equipment thrown over their shoulder, having gone to collect it after you protected them. The guard apologises to both of you and scuttles off, and the fire in Caras' eyes turns on you. You don't dare move as they patch you up, disinfecting and wrapping your wound with a firmness that would have been a little frightening if you hadn't known for certain they were being careful not to hurt you.

You notice, being that close, that their hands are trembling ever so slightly as they work, and when they stand they make sure to get close enough so that only you can hear them.

"Don't ever do that again."

They don't sound like they're just being self-deprecating or protective this time.

T. Bellefleur;

It wasn't serious. MC was fine. It wasn't serious. MC was fine. It wasn't- There was blood. That whelp had dared to touch you, to injure you. Their claymore was at his throat in seconds, an almost cruel grin pulling at their lips.

"Aaaand you're dead, better luck next time, hey?"

You had never seen them so angry, their usual bored monotone becoming hard and threatening, mirroring the look in their eyes. It softened, ever so slightly, when they looked at you, but the majority of it morphed into shame.

You don't see them for the rest of the week.

M. Serrel;

You don't see them during the rest of the battle, and you don't see them until Caras has left you alone in the infirmary that evening, at which point they seem to just sort of...appear.

"Now, Dove, what did you go and do that for? You know I can take care of myself."

They are chiding you light-heartedly, but there is something sad in their expression, behind their eyes, as their gaze lingers on your wounded arm. And they know. They know that you know. You can see it in the way they pull back, the way they drop a lingering kiss to the back of your hand and leave you ("to rest", they say, though you know that's not it).

"I couldn't bear to lose you too."

You don't see them again until you've healed, and when you do, they seem intent on pretending that nothing ever happened in the infirmary that night

𝐒𝐧𝐢𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐭: 𝐃𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐇𝐌 𝐎𝐆 𝐨𝐧𝐞-𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐭

In regards to this post: OG Dark Haunt Me files

“You," Tav hissed between clenched teeth, tears pricking her eyes. “ - lied to me. You tricked me - you don’t…” Love me, care for me – I was just a tool. Were the words she wanted to say. To scream and carve into their heart. Tav still felt the intensity of the emotions Haarlep stirred. More vivid and painful than Astarion had ever awakened in her. That drowning sort of co-dependent love that threatened to shred her sanity to pieces, something you needed to flee from not cave to. Worse, they were Raphael’s…and she was theirs…and Raphael’s…. And she was so utterly fucked. “I am – we,” Haarlep's claws pierced through her thin layer of clothing. “We,” they repeated, voice rough, “– are keeping you safe, trying to protect you.” Tav ripped her dagger from its sheath. One hand shoving the incubus with all the strength she had, the other raised to strike, blade shimmering in the crypt air. She needed to strike before her mind caught up to her actions – she could not afford to hesitate. Haarlep's lips pulled back over their fangs. Deadly incisors on display as they laughed, a deep beastly sound that vibrated her ribcage. Their hand easily snatched up her raised wrist. Knee shoving between her thighs, they curled over her, horns knocking against the stone, golden fiery irises glaring down at her. Pupils dilating in a cat-like manner. She could feel the evidence of their excitement pressing against her. “I wondered when you would try your hand against me." Haarlep's words fell over her. "Do you wish to fight me me as well, precious thing.” They cooed. “Here I thought Raphael would get to have all the fun.” They twisted their head up, pulling her wrist down. Haarlep licked the blood from her blade, the beginning of another taunt on their lips. Tav saw the moment the taste of it settled on their tongue. The familiarity of her blood clicking as the amusement vanished from their gaze. Haarlep slammed her fist against the hard stone causing the dagger to slip from her grip, clanking noisily to the stony floor. Tav hissed around the pain. “What have you done, little thief?” They snarled, chest rattling demonically. Gone was the playful banter – in its place rage and below that, fear. In another life – Tav might have found it endearing, still did to some twisted extent, but they were no better than Astarion – none of them were. Her inner musings were proven true the moment Haarlep ripped down her collar, the heat of their fingers seeking the imprint of their fangs.

Hi! How are you!? I just came across your Waterpark AU and let me just say, I am soooooo ready for some summer fun!!! /silly

Also, I love the background designs for all the sketches you have made! They are so detailed and immersive! And your designs for Sun and Moon are so cool! I'm curious about their personalities! I'm very excited to see what other story snippets/crumbs we might eventually get! <3 <3 <3

Hi hello!!! I’m doing good thank you :))

Yayyyyyy glad to hear it and I hope you’re also ready for the summer fun to find you!

Munching on your compliments, my goal for this au was to make it feel as immersive as possible! Every time I discover someone’s DCA au I feel drawn into their world (written or illustrated) and I absolutely love it! So so happy to hear I am able to accomplish this effect from you guys it really motivates me to continue working on this au and develop more content for it <3

Also thank you for the compliments on their designs haha it’s comedic at this point that I don’t have their ref sheets completed though, worried their color pallets will surprise everyone.

Ah yes their personalities that is something I am still learning on how to portray. It’s in my head but how do I show this??? Through written interactions and dialogue? Through text of their personality traits and habits? Idk I’ll hopefully figure something out soon.

Again thank you for your kind words! I’ve been hoarding quite a few of my inbox messages to help inspire me!!!

Got an Idea

In the world of "Bite Me" vampires are real tiny parasitic things, right? But they're still vampires. Does that mean there are people like paranormal hunters or something? There's so much potential in these...

THIS IS A GREAT QUESTION!

So to avoid spoilers I'm going to be pretty vague-

Vampires in the Bite Me universe are abnormal but not paranormal (though I will be doing a paranormal au because there is SO MUCH potential so by all means I can try to answer some more trad vampire stuff if talking about the potential au).

THOUGH- that doesn't mean that the tiny lil bloodsucking activity has gone completely unnoticed right? I mean, Aedes can't possibly be the only vampire who's been caught...

A BIT MORE ELABORATION

Vampires are completely normal biologically speaking, in that they don't have supernatural powers. The vampires in the Bite Me universe are essentially just a type of well adapted parasite. Some lil tidbits about their biology-

⚠ Nerd Alert ⚠

They are nocturnal- and hunt at night. Their eyes are adapted for low light conditions, though they can still move freely in the light.

They have an instinctual fear towards light (feels open, the feeling of being watched etc...) essentially to avoid predation by animals or being spotted by humans

Vampires have keen senses (hearing, smell, taste, sight) and phenomenal reaction time in order to help hunt. With their processing speed and keen senses, unless you catch one in the act or manage to corner/trap one, vampires are extremely hard to catch by just grabbing (cough cough, unless a certain lil someone likes to be grabbed) His senses dull when not in active "bloodlust" in order to keep the mind from being perpetually overwhelmed by everything all at once, though even dulled they are remarkably keen.

They are stronger than humans (relatively speaking), and quite durable. They have a high density of fast twitch muscles that helps further bolster their reaction time.

I've dabbled with the possibly of them having mild electroreception (basically in order to have a 6th sense towards heart beats as the muscle contracts) BUUUT I want to play around with the speculative biology with that. Mammals don't typically have an electrosense (more of a fish thing) but there are exceptions- yet those are still water based (with the semi exception of the echidna) so I'd have to do some pretty hefty playing around if I wanted to make it work.

They're allergic to garlic (along with a lot of other foods). Carnivorous, especially blood based parasitic diets leave an organism with an extremely reduced gut (Fun fact, theres actually a reason behind Aedes' slutty lil waist 😭) so they typically lack the ability to digest some harsher irritants, garlic being a big one. The smell is also extremely pungent so, yes, it absolutely will keep Aedes away (though it would have to be crushed)

Vampires in Bite Me do have one ability that feels almost supernatural- they are natural mimics. Vampires have incredible vocal control and ranges. This is incredibly useful to both ward off predators and lure in prey. Because of this- there are some typical tactics they use to avoid being caught (Some in more remote regions will mimic a rattlesnake rattle to deter a person from coming closer if they get spotted- and are usually able to slip away while the human calls pest control). This skill has led to both folklore and urban legends, about weird sounds occurring in strange locations. With their speed and skills in avoiding detection, a person would likely assume their house is haunted well before thinking theres a little vampire running around their house

Typically their bite is mildly numbing- though a very small number of people have a mutation that makes the numbing nearly completely ineffective (June being one of them). In that case, the numbing tends to work against its intended purpose- the numbing instead being noticeably tingling, and without the numbing agent, the anticoagulation factors and vasodilators within the saliva increase sensation in tandem with the increased bloodflow to the bite area, as well as giving the overall area a warm sensation.

WHEW

That was a chunky lore dump.
