#i just thought it was a funny detail because i think almost all the vampires smoke in the tv series

[readerconfused]

random things i think about IWTV in my daily life because i'm obsessive

Claudia in S1 says that food doesn't taste good anymore when you're a vampire. So much (spoilers season 2) so that Madeleine has one last glass of wine before the transformation and complains about dying without tasting fine wine. But they SMOK like hell, does it have any effect on them? Because Louis needed other people to take drugs so he could take the blood and get high, i wonder if smoking does anything for them or they just do it out of habit and or i don't know it's something pleasurable in some way

play pretend | joseph quinn

summary: Stranger Things comes to its last season and Joseph is your co-star. It's the last scene of the day, you were doing fine until now. But it was a pretty intense moment and it's hard to keep focus when the boy's lips are close to your neck. 2k.

It was the last scene of the day. And you were pretty exhausted. Even though it was easy and actually fun to share the screen with Joseph, who turned everything lighter and enjoyable, all you wanted to do was go home and get some sleep. But you needed to hold on just a little bit more.

It was pretty intense, this last scene, and you needed to stay focused just a little more, but it started to get harder and harder due to your tiredness and Eddie characterization. At this point, he “came back to life” as Kaz, confirming all the fan theories and headcanons. That meant he was like some kind of vampire. Everytime he smiled you could see his fangs and scars covering his chest.

You couldn’t help thinking it was... hot. Like, so, so hot.

You needed to act scared, and thank god you were a really good actress, because you couldn’t think of anything else other than how stunning he was. Your eyes travelling through his whole body.

“Hey… you ok?” his raspy voice takes you out of your own thoughts, and only then you notice how long you've been staring at him with a stupid face.

“What? nothing.” you swallow hard, giggling out of nervousness, and he doesn't believe you, not even for a second “I’m just… trying to remember my part.”

“oh, don't worry, you're doing amazing darling.” he says with a warm smile and a soft voice that almost feels like it's hugging you, and all you can do is nod as you smile back, your cheeks getting warm too, not sure if he was just being nice, cause he was actually a gentleman, or if there was something… more.

You don't have much time to think deeply about it, though. Or saty anything back to him. Because the director gets back to his seat and shouts to everyone to get to their places.

You were ready to go on your own when Joseph takes your hand and guides you to your marks, and suddenly you get embarrassed of the camera, because you feel everyone was looking at the way your hands were intertwined. And he notices how you seemed away, that's why he squeezes your palm as an attempt to reassure you one more time, before you hear the directors voice's loudly again.

“And ACTION! Whenever you’re ready.” 

You take a deep breath and look into those big chocolate puppy eyes. And you feel safe. He’s waiting for you to be prepared, waiting for you to lead the scene, he wouldn't start until you said so, and you nod as a sign. 

It’s almost scary the way he turns so fast to something else. You knew he was good at his job, for real, but witnessing it so close was completely different. His eyes getting darker. You weren’t aware that was something actually real, that someone could actually do that kind of thing, and it seems so easy for him to do so.

Then it’s just easy to get along, to get into character and go with him, following his pace now, like you were someone else too. 

“Eddie? W-what are you doing?” Your voice cracks a little, and you take a step back, frightened. He looked just like your best friend but something was off. 

“Don’t call me that, princess. You know I’m not that freak.” He growls back at you, with a sick smirk on his lips.

A step closer to you, and even though your instincts beg for you to run, you feel frozen, paralyzed. He looks at you up and down, almost like he’s enjoying seeing you so afraid, so vulnerable. 

“That’s not funny Eddie, stop. Please.” You beg one more time, your eyes getting cloudy due the tears. 

“You know what? You’re starting to piss me off…” He’s close enough now, his breathe against your own, and he looks at you, at every detail of your face, every mole that draws your skin, and he hushs. “Too bad I have to do this to such a pretty, pretty girl…”

He caresses your cheek, tracing his fingers down to your neck and getting your hair out of the way. 

And for a second, his eyes slipper to yours and turn soft again, a glance of your sweet boy there once more, a shred of hope. 

“Eddie?” you ask one more time, agonizing, praying he could hear you.

“Run.” He says, with his last glance of consciousness, but it’s too late. 

His fingers dive into the waves of your hair and he holds tight, pulling it back so your neck gets more exposed. 

“Who... who a-are you?” You don’t have any strength to scream or try to escape. You’re horrified, your eyes bursting desperate tears. He smiles, his fangs actually shining when the light hits them, and he dives his teeth to your skin.

And you giggle. 

Automatically flinching, you try to hide your neck, and it takes a second for you to notice what just happened. Your eyes get wide open and your cheeks burst into flames.

“CUT! What the heck was that?” You hear the scream, and Joseph lays his forehead on your shoulder as you cover your mouth out of embarrassment. You were so tired you couldn’t control yourself as his touch tickled your skin. And now your swearing every bad word you could think of inside your head, wanting to desapear to the ground.

“I’m sorry, I’m so sorry…” you repeated that over and over but when you hear Joseph chuckle, all you can do is laugh too. 

“You got to be kidding me…” he shushes, nodding as he raises his eyebrows and looks at you with some joy on his face. He thought it was cute, because, to be honest, what could you do?

“I’m extremely sorry. I… I don’t know what happened to me… can we… can we take five? Please?” 

You don’t even wait for a confirmation and just run to your dressing room, praying that you could turn invisible for a moment.

“Shit. Shit. Shit.” you repeat uninterruptedly, taking deep breaths and opening your restroom sink, throwing some water to your face with the hope that could wake you up and get you to your senses again. And it seems to be working until you hear the knock at your door. 

“I’m almost done, give me just a sec!” You shout through the room, looking your reflex at the mirror as you recompose yourself, but the knock doesn’t go away, and this time it comes accompanied with a sweet voice.

“It’s me, can I come inside?” he asks, seeming a little worried, and you just couldn't say no to him, so you shush a “yes” almost inaudible and he opens the door slowly, entering the room, and immediately closing it behind him. 

It takes a sec to any of you to say something. He just stares at you, concerned.

“… you ok?” his voice is so warm that it feels like a cloud envolves your body. Even though you weren't actually ok, he makes you feel better just by saying that.

“Oh, yes, it’s just… I can’t believe myself, we really had it and I ruined it all…” you sigh, disappointed, and pinch the bridge of your nose with your two fingers.

“Hey, hey! Don’t say that. everyone is tired and we understand... you were doing amazing and, you know, we can shoot it over and over again… you don’t have any idea of how many bloopers of me we’re gonna have to watch after the season releases” he laughs, leaning in your direction and looking at you with those big chocolate orbes. You know he’s only saying this to reassure you, to make you feel better, and it works. Actually, he didn’t even need to say anything to make you feel better, but he could always manage to do more.

You felt like you could run away and jump over the highest cliff, because he would catch you, you would be safe. It’s the first time someone made you feel like this in your entire life. You always knew there was something special about that boy. 

And the way he was looking at you now, getting closer and closer, just to caress your hair and make you relax, was really… really special… 

“It’s ok, really…” he says one more time, and you smile softly, starting to believe him. “I have an idea… we could practice, you know, rehearse that scene so you’ll be prepared to shoot it. what do you think?” For a moment, just a second, he seems shy, vulnerable, and then you are finally sure of what that meant. The way he said it faltering, and looked at you with those big wondering eyes.

All those months shooting together, getting to know each other. The way he looked at you, without hesitation, without looking away not even a single time. And the way he smiled when you always looked back. How he was always close, always joking with you, just to make you laugh, just so he could see your smile.

“yeah, that’s a… that’s a pretty good idea.” you chuckle shyly too, your face heating up, the butterflies dancing inside you. Because you felt the same way.

He smiles, wide open, his face almost shining, and he gets even closer, getting his hand to your neck again, now with a really soft touch, making you shiver, feeling so electric that it seemed like a lightning had just hit you within his skin, through his fingertips.

“Whenever you’re ready.” he jokes, trying the best imitation he could do of the director’s voice, and you roll your eyes at his stupidity. you know he was trying to make you relax, but the way every inch of your body is desiring him make it almost ache. 

“Eddie?” you say, your voice sounding a little raspy and aerated because you couldn’t breathe normally, your eyes looking at his under your lashes.

“Don’t run.” Joseph answers, and he smiles at you, his orbes pulling you to him like magnets.

You can’t even say your line back, you just couldn’t breathe properly to your voice to come out. You feel his body getting closer, his face getting closer and closer to yours, the almost nonexistent between you two evaporating.

You stare at him for how long you could, analyzing every single detail that made him himself, just so you could mark the way he was looking at you forever in your head until his lips get to your neck with a gentle kiss. It’s a shock, and you flinch a bit, just because it confirms to you this is real.

You don’t want to laugh this time. On the contrary, you let out a tiny gasp and close your eyes, feeling his warm skin touching yours. His lips tracing its way up your neck, to your jaw, and he stops, just so he could stare at you again, cause he wanted to fix this moment in his mind too.

He holds your face, so carefully you feel you were made of porcelain. Like someone holding the most beautiful flower to ever exist, too afraid to damage its fragile petals. And he kisses you, finally. His lips fit yours so perfectly it almost feels surreal, because it felt like you were designed for each other, like you couldn’t belong to anybody else. It is so soft, the perfect texture, pressure, warmth… Everything was just… perfect. 

You’ve waited for this for so long, and you feel so light, almost flying. It sounds cliche, but you’re pretty sure you could hear the fireworks, the ones that you feel exploding inside your chest, like they were actually around you, almost too close… too real…

“Guys? are you there? we need to keep recording!” you hear a muffled voice behind the door, and someone knocking again and again, louder and louder. “guys?”

It takes you two out of that trance, back to reality, and you look into each other’s eyes with such joy you could see the sparkles.

Joseph laughs through the kiss, and hides his face into your neck again. When he looks at you, his face is red like a tomato, and it’s the cutest thing you’ve ever seen, making you giggle as you bite your lower lip, attempting to hide your smile. 

“We’re coming!” You answer, looking away when you start to blush, trying to recompose yourself as you fix your hair and your clothes, even though they remained intact.

“We can do it.” He says, holding your chin with his thumb and making you look at him, raising his eyebrows to emphasize his words. “You can do it. And I’ll be with you the whole time.”

You nod, holding his hand and squeezing it a little, just to make sure that was real, that it actually happened. 

And you knew, no matter what, from that day on, he would be with you the whole time. 

hello! this is my first time writing in another language and posting something here, so I'm sorry if there are any mistakes and I hope you guys understand... anyway, it would be awesome to hear your opnions and I really hope you've enjoyed it!! <3

Bg3 redo thoughts: after I finished my very first big amazing bard drow durge playthrough, I’m going back and doing it again with a tielfing paladin, to see what different things I run into and whatnot.

I’m really enjoying all the small little details and updates that have been changed since I last began a playthrough: stuff like Astarion’s boar now sometimes being found in a different spot. When I went into the spider cave, this time I noticed flies buzzing around the corpses… I swear I don’t remember seeing that detail there before?

Since my tav this time is a tielfing, she’s not getting her ass kissed by the goblins anymore, which is interesting. She failed an intimidation check with the goblins at the windmill so we got into a fight. Well. My guys are tired and health is low and there’s a lot of goblins here but whatever, we’ll see how it goes.

Then I hit Fezzerk one single time and he surrendered. Lmao! I had no idea that was even a thing that happened, it’s been so neat to see that even though my first playthrough was extremely thorough, there’s still been neat stuff to find.

I didn’t automatically decide who I would romance this game, I thought I’d just sort of let things happen as they happen. The end result is: I’ve got Gale and Astarion’s romances locked in now. I really just don’t get the folks who say they have such a hard time romancing Astarion, or even just getting him to like them. He’s consistently always the second in line for me, behind only Gale. Possibly Lae’zel would be quicker if my tav made less decisions that pissed her off, but it seems that they’ve also made some changes with recent patches and she needs a couple conditions to be met now before she starts talking about how much she likes your stink. I mean I haven’t even got to the necromancy of Thay yet, or Gandrel, or the goblin camp. I triggered his first romance after I recruited Karlach.

Astarion gets cranky at a few choices in the grove, but I mean, so does Wyll, so does Lae’zel. I dunno. Like, here’s some quick tips if you guys aren’t just making jokes and do legit have a hard time making him like you:

You can send him back to camp, along with Lae’zel, as soon as you enter the grove, because they’re both going to be cranky. Once you’ve talked to Zevlor and saved Arabella you can bring them back. Astarion likes Auntie Ethel so be sure to bring him back before you chat with her.

He has a lot of little cut scenes and special dialogue, and a lot of little approvals come from these and they add up. I wonder if people are missing these. Be sure to camp often. Like seriously. Camp all the time. There’s the first night camp scene, the musing about how would be best to die, the stargazing scene (although I dunno, I don’t think that gives any approval?) musing about what each companion would taste like, the drunk from bear blood scene, and the mirror scene.

If he’s on your party when you visit Raphael he has a couple approvals to give there if you refuse to be Raphael’s toy.

When he bites you, you’ll get five approval the next morning if you tell the other companions they can leave if they’re not happy about a vampire in the group, and you’ll get five more approval if you don’t force him to keep biting you, but instead just agree to his plan of biting enemies. You can get almost 30 approval just from the bite scene alone!!!!

Like I said, I triggered his first romance after I recruited Karlach: I had barely even left the grove at that point. I wasn’t being evil. I only sent him back to camp for two events (talking to zevlor and saving Arabella). I think I still could have romanced him just as early even without doing that. It shouldn’t really be this hard. I know it’s funny to joke about how he hates everything you do, but if you guys are seriously having troubles with it, I dunno send me a DM and I can help maybe, I’ve been very thorough in my analysis of his approvals.

my dreams tonight......

first i dreamt that me and this polish girl i used to be mutuals with ages ago. i won't say her name. went on holiday and got involved in this whole plot where we had to rescue cats. but also we didn't really become friends we were both too awkward for it. when we weren't rescuing kittens i would force her to play stardew valley and when the time came for her to leave i was like "hahaha sorry for forcing you to play stardew valley" and she said "hm i guess i forgive you." but with complete sincerity as in she really disliked that i made her do this but was, i guess, willing to forgive me.

then i dreamt i was with one of my actual american mutuals i still won't say who. we mostly talked about her love life nothing much happened. i was also quite awkward and fumbling that interaction i think she pitied me a bit. if you are reading this it might be you /|•O•|\ <- my impromptu recreation of the scream by edvard munch.

THEN i dreamt i was a detective who was called to investigate this case where a muslim family was being harassed. they didn't know who it was, but someone would break their windows, leave dead animals on their porch, other horrible things like this, and it kept escalating so they were really worried about this. me and my partner thus came to their house to talk to them to find out more about this harassment campaign.

i was mainly interviewing the wife/mother of the family. all this time i could tell there was something she wasn't telling me because she thought she would not be believed. however i pressed her and she confided that she thought there was something supernatural about the occurrences.

as i asked her to elaborate, it became clear to me that they were being targeted by a vampire who wanted to terrorise them over a long period before eating them one by one. this woman, aside from the harassment thing, had also called the police because she had witnessed the murder of a neighbour.

she would change her story and the details but i read between the lines and was like "I understand... it might be hard to report to the police that you saw someone rip out your neighbours throat with their teeth..." and she gasped like how did i know this... and i looked in the mirror and didn't see my reflection and suddenly remembered that i was also a vampire (who also had the ability of walking through sunlight) and i just forgor.

i looked in panic at my partner, who was interviewing another member of the family, and he saw the mirror that showed the woman's reflection, but not mine, and quickly went to cover it as inconspicuously as possible. from this i deduced that my partner, while human, was aware that i was a vampire, and often covered for me.

anyway we promised the family we would investigate more thoroughly, and that we would watch the house at night, when the harassment happened. we said "we", but my partner and i agreed it should just be me. we were now certain the perpetrator was a vampire, and there was nothing my human partner could do about a vampire.

whereas i, considering i wasn't harmed by sunlight, was clearly a Most Ancyent vampire. but instead of brooding about it i decided to become a detective. this was my hobby. so i could almost definitely be counted on to subdue any vampire who was doing this. thus, i waited alone outside the house to find whoever was attacking the family and killed their neighbour. we cannot forget the killing their neighbour part.

i was waiting for a while, until finally i heard noises. i knew this was our suspect, and i had to spring into action. this time, he was clearly bolder - he was trying to break into the house. OH i forgot. in this dream the lore that vampires can't come inside without being invited was true. which was funny to me as a detective because every time i did house to house i explicitly had to be like "can we come in?" and they explicitly had to agree.

ANYWAY i came up to him and he turned around and i saw his face and i was like LESTAT???! because it was lestat. from iwtv. the tv version. AND he also happened to be an old friend of mine. so i was like omg long time no see how long has it been... 300 years? but omg you have to stopppppp.... leave this nice family alone harass them no longer omg lestattttt...

and he was like "okay" because we were old friends and also he begrudgingly acknowledged i was far more powerful than him. but he said only on the condition that you go on a trip with me... leave this boring police business... and i was like sure i had been getting bored of being a detective anyway. where do you want to go. he suggested turkey and i agreed.

since we had literally nothing else going on, we decided to just walk all the way to turkey. he was weaker than me and couldn't still be killed by sunlight, he had to sleep, and feast more often. this was slightly annoying to me because i really liked the idea of walking to turkey literally nonstop, without taking a single break. but that would have been impossible if i wanted to catch up with my old friend lestat.

but it was sweet really. we walked blithely hand in hand. but when we finally got to turkey lestat was disappointed. he had last been there during the height of the ottoman empire, and lived in luxury. whereas now we arrived in some shitty tourist town with overpriced coffee shops and street vendors everywhere trying to get your attention.

lestat was also like mon cher you are so étrange.... because at one point i was like hey can you wait for me for a moment because i have to inspect your hands thoroughly to see if i am definitely for sure dreaming and can do whatever i want. also now i will fall to my knees don't mind me lestat. this has been something i have been practicing recently in my dreams would strongly recommend - falling to your knees, putting your hands on the ground, looking at them. makes the dream feel way more real and grounded.

finally we saw some security guards who were guarding something. lestat was intrigued and wanted to see whatever it was. so i turned into a woman (i had been a man this entire dream) to flirt with one of the guards until he became distracted and then i bit a huge chunk out of his neck. i was a bit put out since at this point i had to eat very rarely so i hadn't actually bit someone's neck non sexually in a while and was like hm this doesn't taste as nice as i remembered and it's messy :/

also all through this dream while lestat and i were talking blithely to turkey i was experiencing this thing i often experience in my dreams. in which i know everyone who looks at me sees a man and i appear male externally which i am happy about, but i am unfortunately still aware of the fact i have a female body and it's ruining my entire vibe. anyway

[onyxmilk]

May I also request a match-up? I'd like one for jjk and chainsaw man. I'm chill with either gender and I'd like both SFW and NSFW.

In terms of my likes/dislikes, I REALLY like fruit and fruity drinks, it's a very important detail that I tell everyone, but other than that, I enjoy reading (usually fiction works but I've gotten into classic literature the past few months), video games (usually horror), and I have a huge love for the fantasy genre (lotr, hobbit, got, DND, ect). Dislikes are a bit harder, but one main one is I absolutely despise loud and continous noises (pens clicking, loud chewing, drink slurping, ect) they drive me mad, other than that, my Dislikes are pretty basic, I don't like the heat, salty food, coffee (plain coffee, I'll drink a latte or mocha but not really enjoy it) and that's the basic stuff, we'd be here a while if I kept going. I'll also throw this in, I've been really loving mma the past few years so I've been taking classes for almost a year now, it's more than a "like" to me so I thought I should add it.

As for my appearance, I'm definitely taller than the average lady, I'm 5'10 according to my doctor. I have black hair that reaches just below my shoulder blades, grey-blue eyes (they look more like a pale blue in the sun) I'm super pale (I'm very Irish on both sides so 🤷‍♀️) and I mean like glow-in-the-dark or vampire pale, I have quite a few freckles but none on my face, they're all on my arms and legs, and I have 3 tattoos on my arms (cherry blossom branch, spider lily, and a bumblebee).

And lastly, my pronouns are (she/her)

I think that's everything, sorry if this is longer than the usual request.

thanks for the follow, toe gobbler!! - me, to the jjk server im in, nsfw under the cut, minors/ageless blogs dni

JUJUTSU KAISEN ; CHOSO

SONG; Apocalypse - Cigarettes After Sex

sfw;

THIS WAS HARD!!! I really thought on this and it was him or Megumi tbh- but then I thought harder and thought 'toe gobbler needs a fix me up man', so here he is!!!

Choso doesn't mind that you're taller or even the same height, he loves the comfort you bring.

He also loves to share drinks with you because you tend to know the best ones out there, that's how the two of you discovered he also has a thing for the fruit drinks.

He loves tracing your tattoos with his fingers, he finds the designs different and unique.

He loves to see what you're doing constantly when he's home and you're home too, often over your shoulder watching you read a book or even writing.

nsfw;

Something interesting he realized with you is that he feels more... safe, so that means being vulnerable with you.

He enjoys a slow pace, he gets to admire all his doing, even if you need to guide him through every move and how a woman's body works.

He likes to be able to trap your hands above your head, fucking you slowly as you moan and whimper out his name.

Choso is also learning his kinks, and so far he loves when you're quite literally begging for him to speed up and tears are pricking your waterline.

He tends to be rough too, despite his slow pace he will go as hard and rough as he can when gripping your hips or wrists.

CHAINSAW MAN ; AKI HAYAKAWA

SONG; Little Bit - Lykke Li

sfw;

You two met at a restaurant, you were his waitress and he was your guest. He laid eyes on you and immediately fell in love with you, asked for your number and you gave it!

He loves being able to brush back your hair and kiss the back of your shoulder in the mornings when you wear a tank top to bed.

Aki doesn't know the amount of times he's counted your freckles on your arms while you slept, he just does it and it helps him relax.

He finds your taste and his taste funny, you're into fruity drinks and writing while he enjoys a black coffee and reading. Sure, when you do read, its fantasy- Aki is more of a history enjoyer.

He's surprised you have tattoos, but similar to the person above, he tends to trace them when he can't sleep.

nsfw;

Fast and rough, that's the best way to describe sex with Aki.

He loves the way your nails dig into the skin of his shoulders or drag down his back, leaving pretty red lines in your wake.

He loves loves loves when you scream his name, makes him speed up even more which results in even more noises escaping your lips.

He tends to suck hickeys and such on to your skin, sometimes such different levels of intensity its hard for you to cover them up.

He enjoys biting at your thighs before eating you out, but never deep enough to leave marks.

[fates-calling]

I caved and made this silly side-blog! Mostly: because I want a place to scream about my Tavs and the game itself.

So! Meet my three guys!

The only player characters I have made. So far...

Romance: Gale | Playthrough Status: Complete! | Alignment: Chaotic Good

Romance: Astarion | Playthrough Status: Complete! | Alignment: Neutral Evil

Romance: Undecided | Playthrough Status: Act 1 | Alignment: Lawful Good

Some more detailed facts about them under the cut!

Soren

He was taken in by a thieves' guild (which I named the 'Silver Tongues') in Baldur's Gate when he was young after running away from home - who posed or were also bards as a cover-up

He is a raging kleptomaniac, and genuinely can't seem to help himself sometimes

In-game every single romanceable companion in the tadpole gang, tried to sleep with him: except for Karlach. Even the Emporer tried. He only slept with two of his party members, Gale (ofx) and Astarion in Act 2: twice.

His musical instrument of choice is the lute!

His choice of weapon is a longbow & longsword! He actually uses Phalar Aluve.

He and Astarion have a bit of a messy relationship. It's queer platonic, honestly at best. But also, they are kind of in love with each other. However, Soren chose Gale and also believed that the vampire needed a friend, more than a lover. As well as, as much as he adores Astarion - he respects Gale's desire to be monogamous.

He grew up never in one place, being dragged from one city or town to another by his ever-drinking & abusive mother. They were cast out of their eleven town because Soren, was the result of an affair: and with his father being a rich lord and his mother not his wife, well - they were tossed to the streets. He learned how to swindle and steal to survive.

Durge

At first, I named my Durge run well, "The Dark Urge" because I thought it would be funny. And I couldn't think of a fitting name but then it just stuck. Now, the lore reason, is that he really doesn't have a name. So - when meeting Lae'zel and realizing that calling himself the 'dark urge' might cause mistrust, or make him seem pretentious: he simply combined the two words. Durge.

He is a dual wielder! Currently using two shortswords (Knife of the Undermountian King & just a gith blade)

While I am doing a completely evil run with Durge - he is going to reject Bhaal. Because he wants to be free, and as an aasimar, all he has known is submission and orders. He isn't going to become a good person - no, he just wants freedom. To kill who he wants. When he wants, be in complete control of himself and his deeds. Kill in his name.

He had a one-night stand with Lae'zel unable to resist her demanding allure. He regretted it the day after, realizing that he should have thought about it more. But! It did help him discover that sex makes him feel the same way giving into his urges does. It's a stress relief! It also made him remember how many people he has slept with a lot. Almost as many as he has killed. Apparently - casual sex is a habit of his.

He is obsessive. About everyone who comes into his vicinity, and who allows themselves to be under his wings & gain his respect/trust. Whether they be a friend or lover. Durge holds the people he cares for too tight and leaves bruises upon their bodies because all he has known is darkness and blood. How does he deal with these other feelings? That he wasn't built for. So, instead of casting light like most aasimar - he drags people into his swirling shadows and bloodied wings. And he won't let them go. Not without a fight.

Ouroborus

Ouroboros was a part of the Blood War before escaping Avernus

Every time he uses divine magic, it essentially hurts him as well due to his fiendish blood (half-devil)

If it were mechanically available he would totally be an Oath of Redemption

While playing, I have him in his full cambion form, he hides his devil linage and presents himself as a teifling to the party until Act 2 ish (just take away the wings pft)

I plan for him not to use any of his illithid powers, or give into any of them! Something Durge & Soren both did.

Currently using the Everburn Blade!

He has the least developed personality & backstory of my three Tavs, obviously because I haven't played with him for long. I am very excited though.

[13eyond13]

So I just watched the first episode, and I actually didn't hate it or anything! I thought the actors were doing a good job playing their respective parts, and some of the changes were actually pretty interesting to me...

-Daniel as a cantankerous old man journalist redoing his interview with Louis in the 2020s pandemic was an interesting choice to me, and I feel like that was almost my favourite part of the first episode for some reason, haha. Granted, I don't remember a lot about Daniel's character in the later part of the series anymore, it's been way too long since I've read the later books in the series now, so I wasn't that attached to anything about him from the books in the first place. But I think it's kinda a fun and interesting choice to update the interview to be taking place in the present day, which I assume might end up leading to some fresh new contemporary things taking place with the characters later on in the show. I liked how gruff he was and how he wasn't just sitting there mostly mute and sweaty and afraid of Louis or to ask any actual questions as well, haha. The references to him taking a bunch of drugs in the 70s and calling Louis "man" on the tapes and whatnot were pretty funny touches to me, too... It's a bit amusing to me that Louis is just telling him this story all over again as if he's never told it to him before, because GOOD GOD I am sure that it was plenty long enough to sit through it the first time around, but overall I'm not unhappy with this choice.

-I enjoyed that they're clearly drawing from the entire series with how they're writing all the characters and lore. Lots of nods to things from the series that show the writers have done their homework on the books (eg. the reference to the Mayfair sisters and the details about the monastery education during Lestat's outburst at dinner with the Pointe du Lacs). It's a good sign to me that they will be writing it with the whole thing in mind and a good grasp on the characters from the start and have a pretty clear direction for the story when they make their creative decisions.

-Louis was a lot of fun to me in the first episode! I think he had a lot of personality here, maybe even more so than he does in the books. I think there's quite a bit of interesting stuff to explore with a black Louis, and I liked that it's talked about as well and that he gets to directly address all of that stuff. I thought most things about his personality were kept the same, like his dutiful family ties and his troubled religious brother and his polite yet rebellious and standoffish nature and conflicted guilty depressive moments. And the stuff that wasn't they updated in a logical way (making him a pimp instead of a slave-driving plantation owner - I like that they're not trying to make him seem like a hero of any sort during his human life here either - even if he does have it harder and different than book Louis in some ways due to being black they're still giving him another sort of exploitive and oppressive means of maintaining his family's wealth). Maybe the one thing that I still have reservations about there is that they changed the time period of this storyline to the early 1900s, even though I get that they'd have to do that to make his updated backstory make more sense. But I dunno, it's just not nearly as cool having a guy come up to you and tell you he became a vampire in the 1910s as a guy coming up to you and telling you that he was born in the 1770s or whatever. 1910 is barely 100 years ago now, and if their first interview took place in the 1970s then it makes it even less of an unusual claim, haha. Like Daniel could probably meet plenty of other people that age still living in his youth if he just walked into any nursing home, which sort of takes away a little of the oomph of it all to me. But I suppose I can overlook that if it also makes for other interesting changes that add good things to the story as well.

The guy playing Lestat did a fine job to me as well overall! He's definitely giving second book Lestat vibes to me (as he's basically like an entirely different character after the first book once he takes over as the main narrator, imo). I was taken aback by his French accent at first (not that it doesn't make sense, he IS from France - I just didn't expect it after Louis sounded so American I suppose, haha). HOWEVER I have to admit I kinda hate his coloured contacts, I think they look soooo bad and so distracting half the time hahaha ugh - in that scene where he's supposed to be hypnotizing Louis and like seducing him or whatever I couldn't take it seriously at all because of how goofy and glazed over and Halloween costume-ish his eyes were looking. These are the kinds of things that never measure up for me aesthetically when it comes to live action adaptations and such, sighhhhh....

-I'm a bit on the fence about the way they're just setting Lestat and Louis up explicitly as lovers right from the start! Not sure if I approve of this decision or not - not because their relationship isn't homoerotic and suggestive in canon right from the start or anything, but because I think a lot of the intrigue and appeal of the IWTV book for me came from how ambiguous and tense their relationship was half the time. How you could never really know for sure what Lestat actually thought about Louis or how much he really liked him, and how much he wanted to keep him bound to him purely for selfish/exploitive/shallow reasons or maybe something else. And some of the appeal of the bonds between the vampire characters is lost for me a bit when they make their relationships with each other explicitly one thing or another instead of multiple possible things at once, if you know what I mean? But I guess it's nice that they're not trying to downplay the gayness or just turn it into condescending queerbait instead too, and maybe it will open up interesting story possibilities in other ways that I'm just not thinking of right now.

-Another thing I'm a bit iffy about is the superpowers that Lestat is showing right from the start to Louis, too... like mindspeaking to him and making him levitate and freezing time and so on. I actually kinda liked how mundane and regular and unimpressive Lestat is most of the time in the first book, and how Louis never knows if he actually knows anything about his maker or actually has superior powers beyond the ones that Louis himself has... I think it made stuff like Louis's desire to escape Lestat make more sense as well, since he was never really sure if Lestat was actually his superior or a holder of any special sort of knowledge or abilities or not. HOWEVER at the same time I DO understand that they probably had to find a way to make all that stuff actually make sense with all the other conflicting stuff that comes later about Lestat's backstory and abilities and so on later on in the series, and clearly they've decided to adapt it as an entire book series instead of just the one-off novel on its own. I'm still not really sure Louis would have chosen to become a vampire if Lestat did all the awful shit he did to the priests right in front of him though, like punching his hand right through somebody's head lol. Louis was already a plenty guilty and reluctant and self-loathing enough vampire without ever seeing Lestat do anything like that in front of him before he was turned, haha... And I am also not that big a fan of Lestat being able to mindspeak to Louis and so on, tbh. I guess I can forgive him doing that while Louis was still a human mortal anyways, but I do hope that they keep to the book rules about the vampire sires not being able to read their fledglings' minds. Because that was a limitation to their powers that I found interesting and that I quite liked.

(will continue my rant in another reblog, sorry this is getting so long)

gotta say i tried watching the iwtv series but the tone just seems off somehow. there are good things about it sure, and i do love sam reid (?) as lestat, but the tone issue is similar to why i think vampire diaries is so off-putting for me. like, it focuses on sex and blood so strongly in a way, and sort of misses the elements that made the books so interesting to me. i wish i could explain this vibe better, lol.

that being said, i would be interested in your opinion on the show if you ever watch it! often when i happen to know the piece of media you're talking about you voice things about it that i haven't been able to put into words myself but strongly agree with, haha.

I'll try watching it today since the books are still fresh in my mind and see what I think! Curious to know instead of just judge mostly based on clips and gifs...

[naffeclipse]

Ok, ok, I'm gonna set aside that chapter ending for a bit so that I'm able to talk about the parts before it even though it has me in a very tight grip right now fdkhjgkjh

Just hrrrrrrrrr, so many thoughts where to even start!!! AHHHHH

Ok first of all, the first night! We get to see the perspective of the boys! They really were just about to go for a random human huh? Which I mean makes sense, but that would have been so very absolutely bad because while in the other hunter's case they could have claimed self-defense (very loosely as one, in the position of the hunter, could argue they didn't have to go that far), in this case would have literally just been, well, murder. From a demonic perspective it was perfectly reasonable of course! They DID seek out any animal prey first, and finding none, it was their one option left. But from a human perspective? Literally no different than any of the other monsters y/n has been hunting to protect innocent people. Little Reid will never know how his presence actually saved the people travelling with him.

And omg the kid! The sacred rules intrigue me more and more! The knowledge that he was in danger and lost was enough to make their growing hunger almost completely ignorable. As long as they hadn't found him they focused so intently on him and nothing else. Of course, the hunger was bad enough that they were still constantly aware of it, but it amazes me, because we see that later in the chapter they even fear being tempted by y/n's heart.

But ahhh, ok, getting back on track before I jump too much around, oof! That next morning was rough. Y/n already struggles so badly with their own self doubt, and obviously the one course of action the boys could take to not be discovered (or delay the hurt that came the next night anyway), was to latch onto that and make y/n belief they were tricking themselves which oof, oof, oof. I love the boys but yikes they do deserve to feel guilty for that one, because they at the same time made y/n feel guilty for doubting them.

AND then the next night! Oh boy, oh boy! I was actually wondering if the rake had no heartbeat, which I think this confirmed it doesn't, with Sun and Moon actively scanning for it. The night before they would not have noticed out of being too busy with Reid, (since they also didn't notice y/n's own when it spiked in fear), but this one? When filled with rage and scared that they could have returned to a corpse, and HUNGRY? I don't think they would have missed it, so I'm guessing it's kind of like the vampires that have it but it doesn't beat. Or it does but it produces no sound? Since the creature itself seems to not make a sound in general hmmm.

Oh and Naff! The foreshadowing with the bear traps was so clever! When they were mentioned again I didn't think of it much, but then I was like "huh funny that they've come up ag- WAIT A MINUTE, COULD IT BE?" And then it was!! Ahhh!! I like how once again we can see how smart and capable the hunter is. They are sick and very weak, but learned quickly from the last night and knew not to look at those eyes. They got a hit in, tried to get to the salt (which not a bad idea! and I have a feeling it will come up again too hehe), and then they manged to make a plan on the spot to lure the rake into the bear traps! Clever heart, indeed!

And then! What a brutal death for that cryptid! Honestly, all the others should be grateful (well, except doppleganger XD) that it was the hunter getting to them, because Sun and Moon do not hold back, especially knowing how close this one was to killing them. And gosh, y/n got to see every detail in that killing. They were horrified even when the thing was about to kill them. The glimpse at the demonic cryptid and now knowing it's the same one they thought they saw before? I can see a great deal of paranoia in the future days, which only combines now with what's happening with Sun and Moon.

(Sidenote: "Eclipses the gray fog" hehe, I see what you did there~ )

The relief of them being safe was so brief, because that following conversation was going to be hard yes or yes. Gosh, just, the plead for them to not be scared? Killed me. Instantly. They know they were seen. They know this fear, when everything is safe, is due to them. And now there is no hunger to distract from that little fact. And then the hurt, the disappointment. All around.

They were caught in a lie. As much as it was not a verbal lie, the insinuation that they didn't leave was clear as day. The making them believe that they were being ridiculous was clear as day. And they might be too sick to reflect on that now, but oof, it's right there for them to see. And it's a valid thing for y/n to push! The care has always been clearly mutual, but not the trust. From their perspective they have bared themselves to the boys, letting them in in so many ways, so from their perspective they are being shut out. And now they inevitably think it's because of something about them. Not proving themselves as trustworthy, and now Sun and Moon assuring it's not the case, and then immediately not providing a better explanation, while just having been caught tricking them will not be very credible.

And now y/n is afraid. Afraid their love for the boys is more one-sided than they thought, because even when asking if they won't ever leave (meaning for good), the boys can't promise they won't (because they might have to leave briefly again), and it hurts them so badly, it hurts them they aren't apparently trustworthy in the boys eyes and it's enough to not want them at their side through the night even when their presence has helped them emotionally and through the fever! And the boys can do nothing to reassure them, because it's either straining their relationship, or potentially losing them forever.

And hhhhh, when they ask if y/n wants them to leave! And they say no, but with how exact words are for them, the addition of there being something dangerous out there might imply to them the answer would be yes if not for the hypothetical threat! And that must hurt a lot too! And they are feeling rejected, and the last nights they couldn't allow themselves to be nearby and now that there is no pressing issue that would make them leave, they aren't welcome to be close and ahhhhh

My last thought is that now y/n is sad, and sick and will likely have night terrors for a good while, having felt the terror of a demonic so nearby again, thinking themselves so surely dead, but now the boys will be unwelcomed to help, at least these first few nights I think D:

Oooough, my heart hurts, I am eating this angst, it's just SO FREAKING GOOD!!

Excellent chapter Naff, 10 broken hearts out of 10 would cry again! </3

I'm so excited for what's to come! :D

Chaotik I am eating up this entire ask I just ahhhhh!!!! *rattles you affectionately*

There is so much I want to touch on but, especially that, yeah, the boys are making a lot of terrible decisions, not only for themselves but for Y/N's well-being and their relationship, but it's funny what fear will have you do, huh?

Thank you so much for reading and for all of your beautiful thoughts, babe ♥ ♥ ♥

I love that we, at no point, circled back to the lobster war thing

i missed the short line on the first post and thought no one gave jon a presentation :(

i was just imaging the whole crew looking at this man - who is at all times under 5 minutes away from an unstoppable research spiral that will leave him emerging from his office after 3 weeks radio silence covered in river water and blood - and decide to just not let him know slide show night is happening.

by season 3 or 4 he probably Knows slide show night is happening, but at that point he pulls together like, 3 text slides and a handful of images to accompany what is a 2 and a half hour lecture on some obscure topic he was interested in before but now has a piece of first-hand accurate knowledge of and no one else he can explain the sheer significance of this discovery to.

jared is roped in exclusively because he was bored in helen's tunnels. gives a slide show on the animal farming industry that almost makes one of the archival crew throw up by the end.

elias late season edition has a boringly office professional slide show on health care but specifically for optometry. institute barely has dental but covers unlimited visits for visual problems. that probably should have a red flag. (tim is now tempted to test "unlimited" if not for how he now finds eye related imagery)

jude perry was dragged in by mike crew. her slide show is a history of tragic fires with the highest death tolls. jon keeps stopping to correct the estimates and jude has to be physically restrained from setting fire to the archives.

trevor and julia do a tag team on survival skills, but you can tell which of them grew up in a digital age and which of them purposefully went off the grid to hunt vampires and never learned how to add transitions.

mikale selesa provides the only useful presentation, which is on how artifacts of different entities/aspects react to each other, and safety procedures in transportation/containmen. sasha demands a copy to give to artifact storage.

gertrude's hard to place, but i think it'd be funny if she gave a full and detailed explanation of why her filing system absolutely makes sense. expect even michael and helen have no idea what's going on and they serve the fear of madness itself.

Okay but what if the archival staff had a PowerPoint party. Like they would all go so hard with their presentations.

Haikyuu Fics: The Classics™️

EDIT: pt 2!!

I wanted to make a post to archive what I would call “The Classics” as far as Haikyuu fanfic on ao3 goes. For anyone new to the daunting world of Haikyuu fanfiction, these works are probably the most popular, talked-about works throughout the fandom, so they are a good place to start! I haven’t read some of these, but the reason I included them is that I’ve seen so much hype around them. Comment the ones I missed, and I’m definitely going to be doing a part 2. Enjoy <3 :D

*contains nsfw fics* READ TAGS BEFORE U READ

⭑=my faves

BOKUAKA

Rules by ConesOfDunshire⭑

E, 120 k words

Accountant Akaashi. Pianist Bokuto. WHAT MORE COULD YOU WANT??? This fic is seriously novel-worthy, and Bokuto having Asperger’s is a beautiful component to the story. I found that the characterization and the attention to detail the author put into the story is what made it a truly distinguishable and unique fic that allowed it to rise to the top. It is worth every kudos, comment, bookmark, and more. Highly recommend.

Behind Bricks by DeathBelle⭑

E, 60 k words, cw: prostitution, choking, and heavy content so READ THE TAGS

This darker fic follows Akaashi as he deals with his life as a prostitute, and how Bokuto comes in and is able to change it for the better. I feel sometimes that heavy topics such as the trauma from sex work are really misrepresenting in fanfiction, but the author does a great job of portraying it in a real way and not romanticizing it at all. I loved to watch love bloom for Akaashi in the cracks of his tumultuous life, because he deserves everything <333

In Another Life by LittleLuxray⭑

T, 22 k words, cw: terminal illness, hospitals, major character death

As the highest-rated Haikyuu fanfic on ao3, this work is a monument and will go down in Haikyuu history. That being said, it honestly did such a number on me that I think it deserves the hype. This hospital au revolving around Akaashi and Bokuto’s budding relationship is truly heartbreaking, to say the least. Read it at your own risk, and oh, you can find references to it under almost any Bokuaka related post.

IWAOI

Conquering the Great King by SuggestiveScribe

105 k words, E

This rollercoaster of a fic, set in a universe where Oikawa and Iwaizumi meet in a bar, is funny, profound, and awe-inspiring all in one. The relationship dynamic between the two is very cute and well-done. I highly recommend this one if you are a sucker for some good, old Iwaoi, and I also love the side pairings. Just, overall, a really nice and satisfying read.

the courtship ritual of the hercules beetle by kittebasu(chanyeol)

T, 66.3k words, cw: injury, homophobia

This fic is a favorite on tik tok, from what I’ve observed. I haven’t read it yet, but when people discuss it, they always commend the writing and the non-linear narrative. I have personally not read this one yet, but I have seen people rave about this one because of the emotional impact it had on them. It seems to me that the writing and emotions on this one are its claims to fame, so definitely check it out.

Desperado by Verbrennung

M, 82k words

Talk about raved about fics, I have seen this one mentioned countless times on various platforms. This Iwaoi fic is set in a Vegas/Japan fusion setting, which immediately caught my eye. The premise of a heist fic also is probably what caught people's attention the most, because what is better than an Iwaoi heist fic (nothing. nothing is better.) I recommend this if you want a bit of a longer fic that had a tumultuous plot and a wild romance.

SAKUATSU

Burden of Blame by DeathBelle⭑

E, 91k words, cw: graphic violence, guns, ptsd, panic attacks, murder, death, injury and more so READ TAGS

Burden of Blame is THE mafia au fic of the Haikyuu ao3 universe. I love this fic soooo much. From it’s wild plot to the flawless writing, I was constantly on my feet. I definitely recommend if you want something that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Also, the enemies to lovers is CHEFS FUCKING KISS.

A Liar’s Truth by internetpistol⭑

E, 49.6k words, cw: HOMOPHOBIA!! read tags pls

Oh. My. God. I simply cannot with this fic. It turned me inside out, upside down, and threw me into the void. Please, if you have one singular brain cell, you will read this fic. This narrative about Sakusa’s life and his relationship with his sexuality is a masterpiece. I cannot recommend this one enough. You do not want to miss out on this genuine piece of art. 

Stick With You by lettersinpetals

E, 99k words

This fic follows Sakusa and Atsumu as they get stuck in the Philippines over quarantine. Honestly, if you want an enemies to lovers that really goes in depth into the trope, this is the one for you. One of my favorite things about this fic is the inclusion of the Filipino language, and I found myself reading all of the translations at the end. I would recommend this if you want a longer, feel good Sakuatsu fic. Also, lettersinpetals is a Sakuatsu classic author.

the Terminal Curiosity series by favspacetwink and moonlumie

E, total 112k words, not finished, 8 works, READ TAGS

This fic is probably the notorious BDSM fic, which I’m glad because it portrays it in a very consensual and safe way. I’m personally not into that stuff, but I still was able to enjoy it for the plot and the amazing writing. I definitely recommend it if you are looking for something with BDSM components with some focus on their relationship dynamics too. I actually did really enjoy this fic, and I think the way their relationship kind of progressed backward was really, really good. Even if BDSM isn’t your cup of tea, I still recommend checking this one out and reading the tags to see if it is something you’re willing to give a chance too, because, for me, it paid off.  

KUROKEN

the galaxy is endless (i thought we were, too) by cosmogony

T, 30.9k words, cw: illness, DEATH

I have yet to read this fic. I am genuinely too afraid. Similarly to In Another Life, I constantly see people discussing to the degree in which this fic destroyed them, and honestly after In Another Life, I don’t think I could handle another one. This soulmates au has crushed so many people throughout the fandom that if you want someone to give you more detail on why it’s the saddest thing ever, you probably wouldn’t have to look very far.

Of Monsters and Men by shions_heart

M, 220k words, cw: violence, temporary character death

This longer fic follows Kuroo, Kenma, and many others through a demon hunter/buffy the vampire-style universe, with magic, drama, and much more. If you are looking for a fantasy, action-packed, beautifully written fic, this is definitely one you should check out. The romance and action combination will always be chefs kiss, superb. 

[rottenbrainstuff]

Iwtv first episode:

Well…. Huh. That wasn’t bad at all. That was pretty good, wasn’t it?

There’s some little wonky things here and there, took me a little while to warm up to Lestat tbh, but mostly that was really good. It’s funny how… like… there is nothing there that is the same as the book, like, almost every detail is different, yet it’s still… like… it feels exactly like the book and the characters I liked, it’s hitting all the same points and tbh it’s doing it better, I think. I think this is a really great rebuttal to the stupid idea that the quality of an adaptation can be judged by how close it sticks to the source material.

Loved Louis, instantly loved him. In the contemporary scenes, do you think he’s purposefully trying to copy the soft timber of Brad Pitt’s voice in the old movie, or was that just a coincidence? I loved how they were doing funky things with the eyes. I loved how Daniel has an extremely direct and piercing gaze, fixing Louis with the same predatory stare as Lestat. Loved Louis’ family, loved Lestat’s little tricks (had to pause for a second to stop laughing when I realized I was watching yet another arrogant blond vampire with the ability to stop time)

I took screenshots of Paul giving Lestat the side eye at dinner because I thought it was so funny, also Louis and the stink-face he was making when he found Lestat sitting down with Lily. Which was btw my initial reaction as well. As I said it took me a little while to warm up to him. I think it was a combo of his ridiculous hat hair plus how he was more creepy than charming in his first few scenes. I think Lestat is a hard character to get right. I also think that actor is… I assume? conventionally attractive? would you agree? and I tend to not really like that so much, I tend to like people who look a little stranger, and when there’s a character who’s supposed to be attractive and seductive, inevitably I imagine them looking different in my head. But by the time he was doing vampire tricks and showing how good he was at manipulating feelings I think I was ok with him.

Unfortunately, online being online, it seems I’ve exposed myself to spoilers, and I’m guessing I’m not supposed to know the identity of Louis’ assistant there yet. Hope that’s not too huge of a plot point reveal.

(I’ve also just realized, I’m missing books! Where is my copy of the Vampire Armand? where is my copy of Queen of the Damned? I can’t find them on my bookshelf…)

tattletale (snitches get stitches from laughing too hard) - elejah fic

--- ao3 ---

“It probably took him about ten seconds to realize that she wasn’t me, at which point he probably yanked her heart right out of her chest.”

For a few moments Rebekah’s mind - barely past the ickiness of Katherine’s last announcement - blanked at the horrific picture being painted across the back of her eyelids now, and Rebekah felt her nose scrunch up in disgust once more. As soon as the idea of Elena - running on payback and spite and lacking all inhibitions - currently being alone with her brother crystallized in vivid detail, she wanted to scrub it clean. For the good of her own mental health.

Then she pulled up her gaze and looked from the worry on the faces of Dumb and Dumber - one of the more stupid movies Nik had given her to watch after she'd been woken from being daggered for nearly a century, though at least it had given her a few more insults for the Salvatores - to the supreme look of smug satisfaction on Katherine’s face, and burst out laughing.

It seemed to throw the other three vampires sitting around the cheap, slightly peeling table of this small-town diner off their tracks because they fell silent, their looks now ranging from confusion and irritation to anger.

"Is Elena being in danger funny to you, Original Barbie?" Damon asked, voice acerbic. "Thought you were besties now?"

"No, but the three of you are hilarious," she said, beginning to quiet down but refusing to lose her grin, "for actually thinking that that is what is happening right now."

"What's that supposed to mean?" All humor had fled Damon's face, which almost caused a new wave of hilarity to rise in Rebekah. He looked like he expected her to be intimidated, somehow still unable to comprehend that she was a Mikaelson too, just as able to tear him limb from limb as her brothers.

She considered whether she wanted to illuminate them or not, she knew Elijah certainly would have preferred for her not to have noticed herself. But if that were the case he shouldn't have always stared at Elena like she was some kind of oasis in the middle of a desert. A look she had been forced to observe from that first occasion when Rebekah had tried killing her - when he'd ripped her away from the girl and slammed her against that car, seeming to forget her entirely as soon as his eyes had landed on Elena.

And it’s not as if Elena was any better, eyes magnetized to Elijah and heart fluttering like a hummingbird’s wings.

You know what? Screw the both of them, if Rebekah had to be bombarded by all these brain-melting images, she’d make them pay for it.

“I mean, I get Katherine,” she said slowly like she was addressing a bunch of very young children; or idiots, “she's never had to see the two of them dancing around each other like courting swans, but I thought the two of you had front-row seats to at least a few of their meetings?”

“Elena would never-” Damon started out at once.

“I don’t see how-” Stefan finally chimed in himself.

“What?” Katherine finished, a brief flash of something nearly like hurt in her eyes that inspired an even briefer feeling of sympathy in Rebekah. Then she remembered that she rather hated Katherine’s guts and the feeling vanished.

“Right,” she raised her eyebrows nearly to her scalp, and her voice dripping with condescension added, “Elena would never. It’s not as if the air around her and Elijah isn’t disgustingly full of pheromones any time they happen to share breathing space.”

That seemed to have struck them all mute momentarily, which gave Rebekah just enough time to land on a truly evil idea and let her enact it. She fished Katherine’s phone out of her pocket and had pressed the screen to call ‘em’ before anyone had time to do more than ask what she was doing.

It rang for only a moment before being picked up.

“Katerina,” came the voice of Elijah, lacking even a hint of the confusion that might have been present if he’d actually thought that the woman in front of him had been Katherine. Rebekah wasn’t surprised, at least that far she agreed with the bitch from hell, Elijah would have clocked Elena as soon as he’d seen her.

“Brother,” she smiled back, eyes running over the two Salvatores and a Petrova in preemptive mirth “I’m guessing it’s been long enough by now that you’re done making out with Elena?”

The silence on both the other side of the line and this one was suddenly weighted, Rebekah’s smile widened. She heard the unmistakable sound of Elijah clearing his throat. As did the three other vampires listening to the conversation.

Rebekah burst back into laughter.

Marko x fem!reader headcanons | NSFW 18+

Can you do a HC with Marko being annoyed because the girl he likes acts like she doesn’t, but every knows she ACTUALLY likes him back. She just doesn’t take him seriously, she’s had guys be fickle and just treat her like a ‘bro’ cuz she’s a tomboy and hella chill.

How would he go about it? Would he ask for help from the boys (David)? Would he ignore her? Mess with her head to admit it?

And if/when she does admit it, how would their NSFW experience go? 

Honestly, being aloof makes sense. Guys can...kinda suck, no pun intended, and after enough annoying experiences with guys who would rather just dick around than take you seriously, why would you have any reason to believe that this one would be any different?

Marko is cute, yeah. From the second you first spot him on the boardwalk, you like him. His fashion sense is impeccable, you LOVE his hair, and he always has a mischievous, almost dangerous look in his eyes. He’s totally your type, and you love hanging out with him...but you’d never admit that you might have a little (huge) crush on him.

You’re used to boys treating you like one of the guys, and that’s that. You’re used to the way they tell you all about the girls they wanna bang--especially Paul, he’s loud and never shuts up and you’ve heard more details about his sex life than you ever thought possible--and when you start noticing how Marko flirts with girls and then disappears sometimes at the end of the night, you assume he’s hooking up with them.

He’s absolutely heading under the pier or leading them into dark alleys or off towards the bluff and then draining them dry, but hey, how would you know that? It’s not like he’s told you yet

And it’s not like he can just STOP EATING HUMANS I mean come on

Marko likes you from the moment he sees you. From the moment he smells you, actually, because that’s what drew his attention to you in the first place. He thinks you’re HOT, and he would love to take a non-lethal bite outta you...except that you don’t seem to even acknowledge his advances

And he’s really not used to that

Like at ALL

Humans love him! Some nights, he’s got girls--and guys, and everybody else--tripping over themselves. So what’s the DEAL? 

Honestly, it kinda pisses him off. You laugh at his jokes, but like...only the normal amount? Don’t you think he’s cute?? Don’t you think he’s funny?? 

Why hasn’t he gotten to kiss you yet??????

At first, he tries ignoring you. 

You don’t even seem to notice (even though you totally notice, and it bums you out)

Then, he tries to make you jealous by laying it on even thicker with his victim

Again, nothing

(You are, in fact, even more bummed out)

He tries messing with your head, but you’re too fucking chill for his little vampire mind games to work--and besides, that’s kind of more David’s specialty, Marko is more the rip and tear type rather than the cat and mouse type--and he eventually gives up on that, too

You do, in fact, notice a few weird headaches and strange feelings...but you chalk that up to Paul’s weed and don’t really give it a second thought

Meanwhile, David finds this all absolutely HILARIOUS

How Marko hasn’t noticed the way your heartrate increases and your pupils dilate whenever you see him is beyond David, because it’s so painfully OBVIOUS that the two of you have crushes on each other

Finally, one night, when Marko is at his wit’s end, he decides to ask David about it, only to receive an exhausted Jesus, FINALLY

“Marko, you’re fuckin’ clever, but you’re also so goddamn stupid sometimes.”

“What the hell’s that supposed to mean?!?”

Finally, after weeks (months??) of suffering at the hands of a lovesick vampire, David convinces him to just fucking TELL YOU because he’s absolutely certain that the outcome will be worth it

And hey, worst case, you don’t like Marko back and it all blows up in his face and then David might get to eat you

So Marko sucks it up and puts his pride on the line, taking you out for a ride one night. The two of you end up sitting on a cliff overlooking the ocean, just talking about nothing in particular

To his immense surprise, you actually bring it up before he even has a chance to figure out HOW

And then he realizes that you do, in fact, like like him, and all that tension that’s been building up between you is finally resolved

That night, you learn that Marko is, in fact, very good with his smart mouth

Like VERY

And that his hair is, in fact, very good for pulling

And he likes it

A lot

And it’s when you’re in the midst of some nice, romantic, absolutely desperately horny sex, that you notice he seems a little...different

He’s just so happy and so relieved and totally lost in the pleasure of the moment, his hands all over you, his mouth leaving nice hickeys behind, and--hey his teeth are kinda sharp, aren’t they? That’s weird, huh

He manages to avoid chomping on you, but a couple weeks later, he just can’t fucking stand it and finally tells you everything

And honestly? You’re way too happy--and way too chill--to care that your boyfriend is a bloodsucking creature of the night

It also explains a lot of the weirdness surrounding him and the rest of the boys

[ifeltfree]

okay so its time for my thesis. i have so much to fucking say about last night.

first. the outfits. never has there been a funnier band on earth. they took an obvious cash grab and made a total mockery of it but in a way that took effort. it was so purposeful. who else out there is gonna dress as a geriatric decaying version of their past selves, especially if that version of yourself is what the industry sees as your prime even when you were truly at your lowest?

mikeyways outfit specifically. the blood. he wore that because revenge era almost killed him. he felt like, at that time, it should have killed him. like he shouldnt have been given the opportunity to mock his past at all. meanwhile the other three copied the looks down to the smallest details (see: bat belt buckle, armbands, rays fucking teased hair) because while they were struggling too, they didnt feel as if the situation were a death sentence in the same way mikey did.

i also want to note that i think perhaps these outfits had a lot to do with straying away from the current aesthetics due to the public reaction. we saw how they were treated at the other festivals they played. i know this look was planned and intentional but i think it could have been a big relief for all of them to not have to try and live up to the thing they were making a joke out of.

the crowd. i was actually shocked how dead they were. i thought a LOT of people were going to wwwy just to see mcr but i guess i was wrong. they put so much effort into their setlist, their outfits, their performance, their stage presence, and not a peep from the crowd the whole time. at the end they got one little half assed cheer, and it was only from the half of the crowd that didnt leave after wttbp. we all know people leave after that one at a lot of mcr shows but the crowd was literally half the size afterward. like why did you bother coming if youre gonna be miserable about it. people at barricade too, if youre having a bad time leave and let the people who want to be there watch the show.

the setlist. obviously it was intended to only be the hits, because its literally wwwy. i was happy that they threw in boy division and the two vampires because honestly i cant really consider them "hits". good songs of course, but it was obvious nobody cared for them much because the already dead crowd was even quieter while they were playing them. personally i would have loved to see them pull a deep cut out of their ass and see how the crowd reacted to that.

the money gun. god there are so many layers of irony to it. during vampire money makes it funny sure but just the fact that they had access to a confetti gun at this megafestival and chose to stuff it with fake thousand dollar bills. they fucking dragged the organizers so hard.

i love that they were aware of what they were participating in. as far as i know every other band that played was normal about it and treated it like any other gig, when really it deserved what mcr did. the festival was poorly organized, insanely overpriced, and could have potentially been dangerous if law enforcement didnt step on and force them to cancel yesterday. which they did not inform the bands of, btw. you know the organizers and venue care strictly about how much profit it brings in, not anyone's feelings or safety. mcr knew that. they knew what these people wanted from them and they essentially told them to eat shit. i have never loved a band so much in my life.

Please Say That You're Joking (Pt.1) - Chuck Shurley Imagine (Supernatural)

Title: Please Say You're Joking (Pt. 1) [You can read part 2 by clicking here!]

Pairing: Chuck Shurley X Winchester!Reader

Requested: Nope

Word Count: 2,930 words

Warning(s): mentions of sex, threats of violence

Summary: (Season 4; Season 11) (Y/n) had a single one-night stand while coping with loss in a not healthy way... if only they had a clue about the weight of their actions.

Author's Note: I was recently going back through some of the "lighter" episodes of Supernatural because I wanted to watch something I could chuckle at. That's where this came from.

This might be the most crackheaded thing I've written in a while.

Also, the amount of things I had to bullshit my way through this is actually ridiculous.

Hey! I did a rewrite of the ending of Supernatural. It took a really long time to complete, so it would mean a lot to me if you check it out. Here’s a link! (it’s on my personal account)

-------------------------------------

Sam, Dean, and I walked into the motel room. We were all confused and slightly scared.

We had gone to a comic book shop to do some work on a case. However, we were then called fans.

Fans of what?

Well, fans of a series of books about our lives.

I was the middle Winchester child. Two years younger than Dean, two years older than Sam. I was beyond confused when I saw some weird, romanticized version of me on the cover of a book.

"This is so weird," I mumbled, plopping onto one of the beds in the room.

Sam jumped onto his laptop and started researching. Dean was holding one of the books, reading through it. I didn't even want to touch it.

"I don't like how he describes (Y/n)," Dean commented. "It's weird. It's like he's in love. Listen to this..."

Dean dramatically clears his throat and starts to read in an even more dramatic voice, "'Even after a hard hunt, (Y/n) could easily be seen as the most beautiful of the siblings. They mimicked the beauty of their mother more than their brothers. There's no bruise or cut that could take the loveliness away from the natural curves of (Y/n)'s face. If only they could see how everyone else would stare-"

"Okay, ew," I muttered, walking to the table. "What'd you find?"

"Well, it seems like Carver Edlund is a pen name," Sam shrugged. "And the fans are intense."

"As in," Dean asked, closing the book and joining the two of us at the table.

"Well," Sam handed me the laptop so Dean and I could look at it, "there's fanfiction. About all of us."

"What's this, 'Sam/Dean'," I asked.

"It's... me and Dean... together."

"They just don't care that we're related," Dean asked. Sam nodded.

"God, this is so weird."

"So, how do we find this guy," I asked.

--time skip--

We managed to find the publisher of the novels and found her house.

"So, you published the 'Supernatural' books," I asked as we walked in.

"Yep," she nodded. "Yeah, gosh. These books... they never really got the attention that they deserved. All anybody wants to read anymore is that romance crap."

"Could not agree with you more," I said. "We're hoping that our article can shine a light on an underappreciated series."

"Yeah, because, you know, if we got a little bit of good press, then maybe we can start publishing again," she replied excitedly.

"No, no, no," Dean immediately shut her down. "I mean, why... why would you want to do that? It's such a complete series with Dean going to hell and all."

"Oh my god, that was one of my favorite ones," she rambled. "Dean was so strong and sad and brave. And Sam... I mean... the best ones are when they cry... like in 'Heart' when Sam had to kill Madison; the first woman since Jessica he'd really loved. When Dean had to call John in 'Home' and ask him for help. Or when (Y/n) went back to the motel room after getting kidnapped and just had to sit in their own head and had to truly process not only the death of their mother but now their father. The mixed feelings were amazing."

"You're a really big fan," I noted. She nodded.

"Gosh, if only real men were that open about their emotions."

"Real men," Dean asked.

"I mean, no offense," she replied. "How often do you cry like that?"

"Well, right now I'm crying on the inside," he muttered.

"Is that supposed to be funny?"

"Lady, this whole thing is funny."

"How am I supposed to know this is legit?"

"Oh, trust me," Dean mumbled. "We're legit."

"Well, I don't want some smart-ass article making fun of my boys," she snapped as she sat in her chair.

"Oh, never," I replied quickly. "We actually are big fans."

"You read the books?"

"Cover to cover," I promised.

"What's the year and model of the car?"

"1967 Chevy Impala," Dean smiled proudly.

"What's May 2nd?"

"That's my- uh... Sam's birthday," Sam replied.

"Sam's score on the LSAT?"

"Umm... 174," Sam said nervously.

"(Y/n)'s first hunt?"

"Vampire in Washington," I answered. "Dean was at the motel sick and (Y/n) almost chopped John's head off when he scared them."

"(Y/n)'s favorite memory that's not related to hunting?"

I smiled, "Helping Sam get ready for a date when he was a teenager because Sam didn't trust what Dean had told him."

"Dean's favorite song?"

"It's a tie," Dean replied. "Between Zep's 'Ramble On' and 'Traveling Riverside Blues.'"

She finally laughed and smiled again, "Okay, okay. What do you wanna know?"

"What's Carver Edlund's real name," Sam asked.

"Oh, no. I can't," she shook her head.

"We just wanna talk to him," Sam continued. "You know, get the 'Supernatural' story in his own words."

"He's very private," she shrugged. "Like Salinger."

"Please," Sam tried again. "Like I said, we're um... big fans."

Sam unbuttoned his shirt enough to show his anti-possession tattoo. Dean pulled his shirt to the side to do the same. I rolled my eyes and yanked the arm of my jacket down and pulled up the sleeve of my t-shirt. I don't wear as many layers as them and I had opted to put the tattoo on my upper arm because I thought it looked nicer.

"Awesome," the lady mumbled before standing up. "Y'know what?"

I looked away as she pulled her pants down.

"I got one too."

"Wow, you are a fan," I slapped Dean's arm. The lady fixed her clothing before grabbing a pen and paper.

"Okay," she said. "His name's Chuck Shurley-"

And I stopped listening after that. I knew that name... why did I know that name... oh... oh no. I'm gonna kill him. We're going to meet this man and I am going to end up killing him.

I followed Sam and Dean as they started walking out of the woman's house.

"Excuse me," she called as we reached the door. We looked back at her. "I'm sorry, but you look exactly like how I picture (Y/n) when I read the books."

I chuckled, "Thanks."

"He describes (Y/n) with so much detail," she smiled. "You could play them in a movie."

"Thank you," I waved as we walked out.

"'You could play them in a movie,'" Dean teased.

"I know who Chuck is," I said, ignoring him.

"What," he asked. I nodded. "How?"

I pointed to get into the car. I got in the back seat and Sam and Dean sat upfront. Dean started driving to the address the lady gave us before I started speaking.

"Okay, when you went to hell, Sam's not the only one who ran off," I explained. "I wasn't gone for four months... just two weeks. In those two weeks, I got involved in a single one-night stand. The name he gave me was Chuck Shurley."

"You screwed the man who wrote books about us," Dean asked, sounding angry.

"Do you think I knew he was writing books based on our lives?"

"He had to have known who you are," Sam added. "This isn't an accident. He has to get visions or something."

"Yeah, I know," I nodded. "He made money off of my name and then screwed me."

"Damn," Dean mumbled. "I missed a hell of a lot."

I rolled my eyes.

--time skip--

I knocked on the door loudly. Sam grabbed my arm, shaking his head at me. The door was opened and I smiled obnoxiously as Chuck. He was in a robe, his boxers, and an old white shirt. He looked tired and like he hadn't had a goodnight's sleep in days.

"Chuck Shurley," Dean asked.

"Chuck Shurley that wrote the Supernatural books," Sam added.

"Nice to meet you," I said. "This is Sam... Dean... and I'm (Y/n)... the ones you've written books about."

Chuck sighed and went to shut the door. I stepped in, stopping it with my foot.

"Listen, I appreciate the enthusiasm, I really do and I remember you," he motioned at me, awkwardly grinning before seeming to shake the memories out of his head. I almost slapped him right then. "But please... go get a life."

"You see," Dean followed me, helping to force our way inside. Sam made sure the door shut behind us. "We have a life... and you're selling books about it."

"Okay, this isn't funny," Chuck mumbled.

"You're right," I said. "We just wanna know how you're doing it?"

"I'm just a writer, I'm not doing anything."

"Then why do you know so much about demons and tulpas and changelings?"

"Is this some kind of 'Misery' thing? Ah, it is, isn't it? It's a 'Misery' thing!"

"No, it's not," I shook my head. "Believe me, we're not fans."

"What do you want then," he asked.

"I'm Sam... and that's Dean and (Y/n)," Sam tried again.

"Those are fictional characters," Chuck yelled. "They aren't real!"

Dean grabbed him and pulled him outside.

"Wait, wait-"

"We aren't kidnapping you, calm down," I rolled my eyes. Dean opened the hidden compartment in the impala's trunk.

"Are those real guns?"

"Yes," I nodded. "And real rock salt, real fake IDs."

Chuck let out a laugh at it, "Well, I gotta hand it to you guys. You really are my number-one fans. That... That's awesome. So, I-I think I've got some poster in the house."

"Chuck, stop," I rolled my eyes, grabbing his arm as he went to walk away.

"Please don't hurt me," he begged.

"How much do you know," Sam asked. "Do you know about the angels? Or Lilith breaking the seals?"

"How do you know about that?"

"Have you not been listening," I asked. "The real question is how do you?"

"Because I wrote it," he explained.

"You kept writing?"

"The books never came out because the publisher went bankrupt," he furrowed his eyebrows.

I stepped back, letting go of his arms.

"Okay, wait a minute," Chuck crossed his arms. "This is some kind of joke, right? Did Phil put you up to this?"

"Oh my god," I muttered, pinching the bridge of my nose. I grabbed his robe. "I'm sorry but I'm really tired. Nice to meet you. I'm (Y/n) Winchester, these are my brothers, Sam and Dean Winchester. You wrote and published books about us, probably knew who I was, and then you still slept with me."

He stared at me in shock.

"What," I asked.

"The last names were never in the books," he mumbled. "I never told anyone about that. I never even wrote that down."

"Then I guess we have a lot to talk about," I let go of his robe.

The three of us followed him inside.

--time skip--

"I got a visit from Cas," Dean explained as he walked in. "I've some important information."

After talking to Chuck and getting a draft of what was supposed to happen, we were all panicking. Dean told us to wait here. Lilith was going to come for Sam and we both thought it'd be harder if there was more than one of us here at all times.

Now, Dean was coming back from seeing Chuck.

"And that important information is...," Sam trailed off.

"He's a prophet of the lord," Dean said, smirking at me.

I shut my eyes, letting my head fall forward.

"Please say you're joking," I mumbled.

"Nope," Dean replied.

Sam looked over at me. He only started chuckling after his brother broke.

Dean was laughing his head off within seconds, "You screwed a prophet!"

"Shut up," I groaned. "I'm gonna kill him!"

"Archangel will kill you."

"I'll happily pay that price," I muttered. "I slept with a prophet."

"At least that means he didn't write himself to sleep with you," Sam tried to comfort me.

"Yeah, God just decided I was supposed to sleep with the guy publishing books about my life," I replied sarcastically. "That makes me feel so much better."

"Come on, it could be worst-"

"Sam, love you, but don't finish that sentence if you even kind of value your life," I muttered.

I was desperate for this conversation to just end.

--time skip--

After all was said and done, and Chuck accidentally helped us chase Lilith away for a while, we gave Chuck a lift back to his place.

I followed him up to his door, offering to look around and make sure that he's safe. He shook his head.

"I have an archangel protecting me," he reminded me. "Can't get any safer than that."

I nodded.

"I'm sorry, by the way," he said. "About us. I didn't recognize you until after... it all... and I didn't say anything because I didn't really know how to explain it. The whole event makes me feel all scummy."

"It's alright," I replied with a chuckle. "It's fine, I promise."

He offered me a nervous smile, "Y'know, in all of my visions, you're the most vivid thing."

With a grin, I leaned over and kissed his cheek gently. I stepped back and headed back toward the impala. I made sure to take note of his nervous and flustered face.

"See you around, Chuck!"

"You... You too," he called after me. I got in the backseat and got comfortable.

"So... screwing the prophet wasn't that bad," Dean asked.

I just rolled my eyes, waving through the window at Chuck as Dean pulled away from the curb. Leave it to a Winchester to end up in a situation like that.

--time skip (season 11)--

Sam and I followed Dean with our guns ready. Dean was following the amulet that he had owned for a long time without even knowing it could show us where God was.

Everyone had been infected by Amara only minutes ago but now it was okay and Dean's amulet was glowing.

"Holy shit," I mumbled, seeing who was walking over to us.

Chuck.

He was supposed to be dead. That's why Kevin's prophet powers had been activated.

"No way," Dean said.

"Hey," Chuck... or God said. "We need to talk."

Despite our understandable hesitation, Chuck reached forward, teleporting all of us back to the bunker. I stepped away from him, slightly overwhelmed.

"(Y/n)," Chuck walked over and tried to grab my arm. I instinctually slapped him. I was nothing but confusion and anger. "I deserved that. Just, please?"

I stepped away again.

From behind Chuck stepped Kevin's ghost. My breath caught in my throat. The poor boy had been through so much shit because of us.

Kevin told us about how we looked stressed and that we should listen to Chuck.

Then, Chuck waved his hand. Kevin turned into a ball of white and blue light before ascending beyond the bunker.

"Where'd he go," I asked.

"Heaven, where he deserves," Chuck promised. I nodded.

I listened to the rant about how Chuck had abandoned us all and how awful things were. Then, the conversation turned to the plan to stop Amara. The boys talked about needing Lucifer and Chuck got incredibly upset. In a fit, he went to leave. I stepped in front of him.

"No," I said bluntly. "Even if you want to avoid the subject of your estranged son, you can't just leave."

"(Y/n)-"

"Sam, Dean," I looked at them. "Give us a minute?"

They both nodded, glaring at Chuck on their way out. I tried to ignore the instincts that were telling me that Chuck was just selfish.

"(Y/n)," Chuck mumbled.

"Just answer my questions," I said. "Then we can discuss what to do with Amara without you storming away recklessly. Okay?"

He nodded.

"Have you been God the whole time," I asked.

He nodded.

"You wrote all of our stories?"

Another nod.

"Did you write that I was going to sleep with you?"

I felt manipulated and angry. I was desperate for an answer. I knew that this could've made me feel like dirt, but I needed to know.

"No," Chuck said. I clenched my jaw, ready to call him a liar. "I told you. I had been pretty much hands-off for a long time. Did I know who were? Absolutely. I'm sorry I lied to you about that. But I didn't plan anything between us. We weren't some divine plan."

I nodded, looking down.

"You know how Dean and Amara are connected," he asked. I nodded, looking back at him. "We're like them."

"And that's not a divine plan-"

"I'm not doing a good job explaining this," Chuck shook his head. "It feels like we're like them. Like there's this bond that just happened as soon as we met."

"You lied to me, for years," I said. "Saying we have some bond isn't gonna fix that."

"I know."

We both fell silent. Slowly, I started laughing. Chuck furrowed his eyebrows, "My only one-night stand... and it was God."

Chuck started laughing with me while I really processed what I had done.

I slowly stopped laughing.

I didn't notice until it was too late that Chuck had slowly gotten closer to me. As soon as his lips brushed mine, I pushed him back. Not hard, but enough to get him to step away.

"No," I mumbled. "Not that, no."

Chuck nodded, "Got it."

"Now," I sighed, "we need to actually plan to stop Amara, and if we need Luci-"

"We don't," he said bluntly. "We can do something else. We don't need him. Okay?"

I nodded. In my gut, I trusted him. Maybe that was me being an idiot but I did trust him. For now at least.

folklore/evermore Writing Challenge (and Masterlist)

[fallout-drabbles-n-stuff]

How do companions react to being turned into a vampire/werewolf/zombie/???? Use whatever you like, go ham.

(I guess I can exclude nick..I don't think he'd be able to turn into either. Also I didn't really know what to do with the zombie thing 😭)

.:: Werewolf ::.

Cait:

•It probably sounds beyond crazy, but becoming a werewolf is the best thing to happen to Cait. Sure, it's definitely an adjustment..but she no longer craves the substances she once relied upon for stability- she no longer needs them. The beast within was at such great peace with her, it was all she needed.

•She wouldn't have much problem ripping her foes to shreds either. She feels like she is no more animistic than them..also she feels like it really evens out the playing field with those assholes that use power armour. Now she can just peel them apart in her bestial form.

Danse:

•Feels like his life is nothing but a cruel joke. What..so he's not human..but he's human enough to contract lycanthropy?? Well, now he is 0% human..can you imagine how bad this stings?

•Isolates himself out of fear of hurting the last handful of people he cares about.

•Ends up unfortunately starving himself until he becomes feral..stay away from the former Paladin when this happens. He's hungry..so very hungry.

•Better yet..please try to reach out to him before this point...

Macready:

•Mostly alright because he knows he poses no threat to his son while he figures out to gain control.

•Aside from that- Mac is over the moon with his newfound way of life. He had always been the "far away" combatant, but with his invulnerability and sheer strength- he finally can see what it's like to be the opposite.

•Honestly...it's dorky..but he loves it because he feels like he is one of those badass anti-hero types.

Gage:

•Kind of annoyed?? Yeah, that's a good word for it. He feels like having this burden makes him a number one candidate to join The Pack..god knows it was probably one of those assholes that infected him in the first place.

•Nonetheless, being able to shift into a literal beast and mow down anyone who stands in his way? Totally something he approves of..he just wishes he could sleep soundly.

Preston:

•This is by far the worst thing that could happen to him.

•Spends a good bit of his days trying to do what he can to help others, while his nights are spent as far away from the people he cares so much about. If he were to ever harm an innocent because of this disease of his..he wouldn't have the heart to continue. The guilt would be too much.

.:: Vampire ::.

Curie:

•Has the hardest time understanding what she is and what she is supposed to do about it.

•She just got used to a whole new body and way of life..and now this happens? Total bummer. Oh well, like Cole Porter says..anything goes.

•Eventually finds a way to make lemonade out of these awful lemons she has been given..once she figures out the sunlight is no longer a friend of her's.

•Now there is just the problem of finding something to eat.

Deacon:

•Has very conflicted feelings regarding his vampirism. On one hand, he has new abilities that behoove him greatly! On the other though..uh..he can't travel in the daytime. That's a big problem.

•Actually, given some thought..maybe it isn't so bad! It's not like he goes about having nice walks through the wealth anyways...

•He is remarkably okay with drinking the blood of animals..will even tell you what each animal's blood taste like in overly descriptive detail. Gross.

Hancock:

•Doesn't bother him in the slightest bit. Almost thinks it's funny. Now he's a double freak. At least it attracts the ladies even more...

Maxson:

•He nearly loses his lunch when he figures out what happened to him. He has dedicated his life to leading an organization hell bent on the extermination of anything that loses a threat to humans..and what is he?? A bigger threat than supermutants..ghouls..and even synths. He still looks "human".

•Keeps his secret to the best of his ability..however it does become most curios when the elder orders Scribe Neriah to allow him to personally examine her blood samples...

Piper:

•Has the time of her afterlife as a hot vampire chick
