#is this AU basically metaphorically exploring how it wouldve felt when they first broke away from human dependent society in canon

[magnolia-sunrise]

thinking about how the vampire medieval knight AU spawned in my head with this very edgy gothic vision of a cryptid knight dragging their sword through the woods, blood all over their armor and an animal glint in their eyes as they get close enough you notice there's blood all over their face, and mouth and sharp teeth and by then it's too late to run--

meanwhile when i actually end up drawing the vampire knight in question:

wet dog. kicked puppy. sad stray cat. call them pope with how much theyre innocence

-- not to say i wont come back to that first image some day and actually paint it because its really tasty but lmao. vampire Wolf somehow ended up so pathetically baby-- i think its partially because of how much younger they are than their canon self, how different their life has been. they're experienced in ways of life and battle but not with losing bodily autonomy like this and it just guts them, being turned into an animal dependant on feeding and nothing else, its pathetic and disgusting u_u
