#read a 8ook.

[lunaticli8rarian]

THE LITERAL ENTIRE POINT OF VAMPIRE ALONE IS "YOUR HUMAN8TY IS THREATENED, 8E SURE TO KEEP IT SO YOU DON'T TURN INTO A MONSTER!" YOU ARE TRYING TO STAY HUMAN! unless you're like the sa88at, you know the outright fascist "we are superior to all humans and deserve to 8e the dominant species" faction that's o8viously the 8ad guys-CUZ THEY'RE FASCIST VAMPIRES!!!!!!!! if you reach 0 human8ty, you stop playing the game. that's a 8ad thing. the system itself encourages you NOT to a8andon your moral8ty, to keep it as intact as you can in this f8cked up new existence you have.

hunter the reckoning fits so f8cking strangely in world of darkness. literally everyone is on some level sympathetic 8esides hunters. who just like, wanna f8cking remake manifest destiny with werewolf tri8es, or 8e a jock punching a mage nerd, or stoning queers just like "the good old days." like everything else is so 8ased 8ut this just sticks out like a sore thum8.

Vriska: oh you watched a movie I recommended????? you listened to a song I told you a8out ?????? you read one of my favourite 8ooks ?????? do you know that I would literally kill for you ????? let's drink each others 8lood

[ask-arachnidsbreath]

Yo, what kinda books do you read.

JOHN: vriska reads ikea manuals to relax.

VRISKA: He's stupid. To answer your question I don't read 8ooks 8ecause I'm not a fucking nerd, unlike John, who is a fucking nerd.

JOHN: she's lying

VRISKA: No I'm not.

[cornflowercanine]

GOD something i had a lot of issues with and s33 ppl do like. a fucking lot. is that, online, when a group of ppl are talking casually a8t smth they like, someone f33ls the N33D to say how much they h8 it and cant enjoy it and sometimes when ppl k33p talking a8t the specific Things they like a8t it the person says how much they h8 every little thing a8out it too and its like. look. ive 833n there. i go there sometimes still. i get you think its Strong Opinion A8t Thing Sharing Time. i know how much you might h8 that thing. 8ut if the thing is genuinely harmless and they arent discussing it critically just going ‘i like it! its nice’. shut the actual fuck up. like i cant articul8 exactly WHY it sucks so 8ad 8ut if its happened to you and it prolly has. u get it. and so u get how much it fucking sucks to 8e on the recieving end of it! its just annoying and o8noxious and youre not going to get those people to stop liking the thing they like and think youre right and cool and smart for h8ing it, youre not gonna get Smart Discussion Thinking Things Out points for saying you h8 something in a casual fucking convers8ion a8t smth those ppl enjoy, literally just. sit it out. may8e talk to a friend priv8ly so you can vi8e a8t h8ing it instead of getting in their way. let them enjoy it. shut the hell up. o8viously this doesnt apply if youre like, looking at some random ass persons page from the other side of the internet making your own post where they wont s33 it, who cares, 8ut going to someones face “I H8 THE THING U ENJOY WITH A RAGING PASSION” is just. tiring. refrain from doing it please

"I was simply wondering if you could make a few trans & 8isexual Aranea Serket (me! ::::)) icons. Perhaps with a slight dark academia theme?"

Helloooooooo Aranea!!!!!!!! The dark academia aesthetic was challenging, 8ut hopefully the 8ook overlays and pngs work for you! If they're not to your taste I can always rem8ke them. Enjoy! As always, let me know if you don't want kin tags.

Memories long forgotten

(This is an Au where basically Tyzias Relives/gets memories of the Ancestors past. Had this idea after seeing a picture of like the ghost of the ancestors surrounding her while looking at a book so uh here we go!) Tw: Mentions of gore, slavery, death, and vomiting

The rotten wood groans underneath her as dust clogged her nose. This ship had seen better days, everything looking as if frozen by time, telling a story of long ago. Even with rotted wood tables and worn down valuables, phantom images of a lively crew celebrating countless victories played behind her eyes. With these images also came tales of betrayal, of heartbreak and longing.

Tyzias couldn’t stop the shiver that goes down her spine, couldn’t help grazing the well worn table in front of her with a tentative touch. Just from looking at it all, a sense of home filled her, like the famed pirate captain was standing next to her and telling her all the stories of their time at sea. Mindfang was notorious for her cruelty towards lowbloods, so many rumours about her misdeeds and punishments still scream loudly in her mind.

Yet, as Tyzias glances around the ship, she could understand there was more to the story than was once said. Something was whispering to her, begging her to figure out the truth, calling for her to look deeper, to connect the dots.

‘Just a little further land lover...just a l8ttle further…’

A soft whisper, so quiet that it could only have been the wind tricking her, caresses her ear, pulling away from her thoughts on the tauntingly empty room.Shaking the rest of the warm images from her mind, she heads for a rotten door to her left, a door that could only be the captain’s quarters from the gold trimmings and jewels that lined it. A sense of foreboding washes over her as she pushes the fragile door open gently.

Unlike what most would think for the great mindfang to have, her quarters weren't flashy or even that extravagant. It looked more like a bookworm's haven than a pirate's living space, with towers of books lining a broken desk. Shelves made up the walls, all filled with books of different genres, most looking to be non-fiction. Everything looked to have a place, so chaotically organized it even took a smart ass like her a second to really see it, the only thing out of place was that of a book laying half-hazpardly on the floor.

Picking it up, it didn’t take long to deduce it was a captain’s log, though it looked to be more like a personal journal. Flipping through it, Tyzias feels her interest peak as she reads over it all:

Today is the 2nd coming of the full moon whilst at se8,

That 8astard Cronus cam8 t8 chat with me t8day. We argued as usu8l. Swear that rotten violet 8itch is out to make m8 deck him. He f8und my little 8ook stash and now won't stop call8ng me a f8cking 88okwriggler. Well m8ster 8ig 8ad orphaner, at le8st now I can capture and enslave more effectively than your 'eh vwahtevver' ass.

Nausea swirls a little in Tyzias stomach at how flippant Mindfang was at enslaving people, trying to shake it off she flips a few pages over, seeing as most early entries were just complaining about this..Cronus person:

T8day is th8 14th full moon since we set sail

Cronus came 8ack again, appar8ntly a re8ellion is 8rewing on land, One calling for th8 end 8f the hem8caste. It's 8unch of hogwash 8f yo8 asked me, 8f the hemocaste has 88en going on for this long. What do a 8unch of low8l8ods think they'd 8e a8le to do? Esp8cially aga8nst th8 empress of all people. I don't understand why Cr8nus is rooting for these people. Doesn't he und8rstand what wo8ld h8ppen if our system were to c8llapse?

Even if it were for 88tter, our f8cked up system won't just dissape8r. We are so intertwined with th8s system 8nd design of s8ci8ty that just throwing it out in one day will 8nly c8use an even 8igger divide, and a h8ll of a lot more d8ath.

Ugh, I have a headache.

Stopping for a second, She looks at the words with a contemplating look, skipping ahead a few more pages, Tyzias almost drops the book in surprise.

Day wh8ver the fuck.

He 8etr8yed me.

It was the end of the journal, and yet images of there after played in her vision, leaving Tyzias to collapse to the ground, gripping her hair in agony.

“Hah, they sent a small fry like you to de8l with me?” Her blinded eye sached, spikes of pain were lacing where an arm should've been. Despite it all, Aranea smiled cockily, still radiating an air about her that people only dreamed of.

Never showing off how god damn scared she truly was.

Neophyte never responded to her once, unwilling to give her any leeway. So many mixed emotions curled around Mindfang’s core, the hurt of her ex-kismesis betrayal easing slightly at the mere sight of Neophyte.

“You know, if you weren't so adamant a8out s8ck8ng the law systems dick, we could've 8een g8od rivals.” Saying this was such a nonchalant voice, Mindfang let a bitter smile ease onto her face when the famous Redglare let annoyance show on her face.

“This 8s the part where your own audience 8etrays you!” Relishing in the alarm that suddenly appeared on the masses, the ex-pirate captain calls on her blood's power, whispering sickly words as she washes away all rebellious thoughts from the scared bystanders. As the noose meant for her wraps around Latula Pyrope speaks her final words,

“1 h4v3 h1gh3r st4nd3rs th4n to 3v3r h4v3 you 4s my k1sm3s1s.”

Memories flood Tyzias head, leaving a searing heachache in its place as she lives the life of Aranea Serket. Only as the Summoner, Rufioh Nitram she learns in one memory, brings down his lance and the agonizing pain of being skewered in the heart, holy fuck that hurts more than I though it would, did all pain ease.

Unable to stop herself, Tyzias regurgitates her food from earlier. It was kind of Ironic how a twisted person that was Aranea, died for a cause she was against. Shakily pulling out her notebook, Tyzias writes down the new information: the weight of...something...finally easing off of her shoulders. Having gone through this a few times, a sigh of relief escapes her chapped lips,

The story of Marquise Spinneret Mindfang is officially finished…

Only three more to go.
