Woe, Teen Daryan Upon Thee

I was going to make a mini comic of Teen Klavier getting him an IKEA Shark plush, But I got Waaaaayyyy too fucking distracted.

[quackity1999]

I tried being nice, but it seems like that won't work here.

When I come back, Quackity, you're not getting rid of me again. I'm NOT going away again, so better get fucking used to me talking in your ears. Maybe Manburg is gone, but las Nevadas isn't, and it needs a competent leader, someone unlike you. You fuck up everything you touch. I'm surprised this place hasn't burnt to the ground with you leading it. Maybe it already has from the inside, and you're too idiotic to notice it.

-🍾(I'm TRYING to fit more curses in the dialogue but I don't curse much I'll do my best to up it o7)

now— hold on a fucking second. i'm the only person who could bring you back. right? i mean, dream's stuck in fucking prison. he keeps going on and on about how he's got all the revival shit stuck in his head.

so therefore. you're not getting out of this unless i say so.

god. it's almost like— it's almost like i've had power over you since day one. HA. i mean. fuck, what with the pooling votes, and now this? what the fuck am i calling you sir for?

schlatt; listen to me. you'd turn my nation into a fucking orgy den within minutes if you got your hands on it. i'm not taking that risk right now.

unless i find a way to get you on a tight leash. :]

spent too long thinkingabout my pregame kids today again

[ID: A digital uncolored drawing of Kaito Momota and his grandmother. His grandmother is standing around a corner, smiling and holding her hand up. Kaito is slumped over a countertop, head in his hands as he stares at the table, frustrated. There's a screenshot of text messages in the background that imply their dialogue; Grandma: "Checking in. Cheking in." - Kaito: "I'm bad" - Grandma: "Checking in." - Kaito: "I'm doing bad". end ID]

Every day 98 wolfwood's line "It's a long story, although it's kind of a short one" plays in my head

[cream-and-tea]

how do werewolves work in lmd (plus anything else like that)

OK SO.

(this got very very long)

(just as a warning)

(also i’m going to tag @transmasc-wizard bc i remember you asked about this a while ago and a lot of this response comes from what i had typed up to respond to YOU lol)

(okay here we go)

there are (putting it very very basically) two main kinds of magic in the Ghost Story Universe: mortem (Death Juice) and vita (Life Juice). they draw from the same source (God Juice) (which is also the source of the apocalypse but that’s another post entirely) and are kind of different aspects of one thing, but still act as opposing forces. equals and opposites, can’t have one without the other, etc etc. the point is that even though they’re two different types of magic they share the same set of rules and operate under the same basic facts. one of the most basic being that magic is physically taxing to use. no magic comes without a cost

so this is pretty straightforward. and generally it isn’t anything too debilitating, but the more powerful the magic and the more magic used, the more damaging the physical effects become (for example: early on agnes’s chitchats with the ghosts she sees don’t really wear on her because it’s a very passive form of her power, but as the plot progresses and she actively draws on it more and more she starts to develop chronic headaches). the more active magic bullshit you do in succession —> the worse you’ll be feeling the next morning. people would usually need to rest for upwards of a few days after performing a major act of magic and the reason The Library focuses so much on endurance and repetition is to prevent that from happening. it’s to the point that some majorly powerful stuff is possible but the benefit of it is almost completely outweighed by the potential damage it would cause.

rambly worbuilding aside, this is really just a preface so it makes sense when i say: vampires and werewolves are what happen when people push their magic to far.

they’re basically the most extreme end of the spectrum for either kind of magic. vamps are a result of overusing vita (blood life stuff), and wolfs are a result of overusing mortem (spooky death stuff). this happens to people when they’re drawing on so much magic that their body literally cannot support it anymore and starts canabilizing itself in order to support the magic and prevent the person from just. coming apart at the seams. a Regular Person body is just incapable of handling that amount of power, so in turn they have to draw their sustenance from a different non-human source. the comparatively small piece-of-magic-apocalypse-juice in them mutates and co-opts the functions of their body in order to save that body from collapse. both vamps and wolves have to feed CONSTANTLY or they risk their bodies giving in and all their organs straight-up failing. it’s a slow transformation process and sort of representative of how much Whatever Caused The Apocalypse has become so deeply ingrained in every part of the new world. again: it presents differently but it’s all the same stuff in the end.

the world is full of monsters and weirdness and general spooky bullshit but vampires and werewolves especially have an ENORMOUS amount of stigma surrounding them because of the fact that most people still see regular magic users as recognizably human, and view the transformation as a transition from Human Person With Emotions Who I Should View As Such Despite This One Weird Thing to Inhuman Monster. most magical creatures aren’t seen as sentient in nature and many of them are actively dangerous to humans, so if someone pushes their abilities to far and ends up undergoing the transformation then it’s seen as a shift from being one of Us (normal people just trying to survive this crazy broken down to world) to being one of Them (unnatural monsters that came about as a result of the evil forest and apocalypse and want to destroy humanity), except that obviously the people who are turned are the same people they were before, just with an extra set of challenges and probably more bloodlust (which i can see being a bit of concern but c’mon. are u really going to let a little killer instinct get in the way of a lasting and meaningful relationship. weak).

They’re also used as an excuse when it comes to hatred of people born with magic at all. bc sure it SEEMS harmless when you kid is learning from their dead grandma or healing a little bit faster than normal, but with ONE WRONG MOVE they could become A VISCOUS BEAST or a BLOODSUCKING MONSTER and do you really want to take that risk?? wouldn’t it be better to stamp that out now before someone gets hurt??? even in places like The Library, which usually serves as a safe-haven for people born w magic, vamps and wolfs are seen as somehow Lesser. The Library toutes them as cautionary tales and failures of magic, basically a warning of what not to do to their students.

to get into the more specific abilities and effects and What Being A Vampire Or Werewolf Means i’ve made some handy little lists (ft. calliope and luca macnamara, a book 2-3 character that nobody knows about lol) (please click tumblr absolutely wrecked the quality):

so. yeah.
