#redacted alexis

[dahlia-tourism-board]

Vampire makers feel their progeny's emotions. Not all of them, not all the time. But when it's heightened, when it's strong enough, those feelings bleed through.

Alexis knew that all too well. She had felt when Sam fell apart after the Inversion. She had felt when he'd fallen in love, when he was having childish fun with the Shaw Pack, when he was at peace in his mate's arms.

But now they were dead, and Alexis was drowning in his grief.

They had lived a full life, a happy life. Sam had been by their side until the very end. Loyal and patient and so deeply in love.

Alexis still raged and wondered why he couldn't have felt that for her, when she was right there, would always be right there.

But a small, tender part of her, the part that still felt something akin to love, just wanted to help him. To ease the hurt of a good man.

Sam would never want to see her, though. So all she could do was carry his pain with her from afar, and hope it was enough, even though it wasn't.

Sometime later, though not much, she awoke to find she didn't feel anything from him anymore now. Ashes in the wind.

Even in death, he'd still chosen them. For the first and last time in her undead life, Alexis wept.

i feel like vampires naturally have excellent posture - except for sam

i have no explanation for it either

i’m just imagining the house of solaire (pre-breakdown mind you) sat around a table for a clan meeting, and everyone’s backs are so straight, shoulders back, chins up - and then there’s sam, moody because he got pulled away from his log fire in his cabin, hunched over like a prawn

i love him

Curses I would put on the cast of redacted-

Vincent - He makes the most perfect, runway model worthy messy bun to keep his hair up before showering and then is never able to recreate it no matter how hard he tries.

Asher - He wakes up early but his bed is so comfy he will always fall right back asleep and be late for important meetings.

William - Has a classical song stuck in his head but cannot remember it's name and has absolutely zero musical talent so he can never find it again no matter how hard he searches.

Alexis - There will always be a piece of food stuck in her teeth while she is in public and she cannot remove it with her tongue despite her greatest efforts and it makes her tongue hurt.

Gavin - The ability to grow perfect, long, healthy natural nails but whenever he has an important event or party he wants to attend and take pictures at one of them breaks and he has to chop them all off.

Kody - He experiences that chest pain you get when you swallow water wrong every time he swallows water.

Morgan - One of his nostrils will always be blocked.

Milo - Wears only gold and when he goes shopping he will find pieces of jewellery so perfect it was like the divines forged them specifically for him to don, but the stores will never have them in gold, only silver.

Treasure - Has a Polaroid camera, but they will always use up their Polaroid film one shot before finding the most perfect photo op, and will have to watch the moment pass by knowing that if they hasn't taken polaroids of silly things, they could have taken the most beautiful picture ever. No one believes them when he says that they saw this beautiful thing happen.

Lovely - Everything they buy always goes on a crazy good sale a day after they buy it.

Sam & Darlin HC’s: ft Alexis and Quinn below the cut

Every time they’re in season, Darlin’ buys Sam bouquets of sunflowers

Sam is unsuspectingly good at plaiting hair, and everytime he does it, whether it’s for himself, them or a friend, Darlin’ suspiciously asks where he learnt that from 🤨.

He learnt for his grandmother.

Darlin’ has on multiple occasions bribed workers to keep places open late so that Sam can experience things with them. Aquariums, bowling alleys, you name it.

Whenever Darlin’ can’t sleep, Sam inconspicuously suggests they go sit on the porch swing cause ‘fresh air’s good for the soul’. Works like a charm.

Despite what people might think, Sam is the jealous one in the relationship. Not in an insecure way, juuuust don’t touch what’s his.

Lovely came over to Sam’s most nights Vincent went back on watch duty, after their turning. They’d bring over skincare (face masks etc) for him and Darlin’ everytime. Both of them were equally confused what the fuck an ice roller was and how it was of any use.

Darlin’ is obsessed with Sam’s fireplace and they use it often in winter. Meticulously stacking up the wood, creasing up old news paper pages and using half a pack of matches to get it lit. Sam technically could conjure up enough magic to light it in about three seconds but he doesn’t have the heart to tell them.

The entire time Sam was trapped during the inversion, he kept getting a fuzzy feeling in his chest. He thought it was his magic stores running low but didn’t have time to focus on it.

The entire time Sam was trapped during the inversion, Darlin whispered the word ‘Mate’ to themselves so they’d know he was okay.

TW: the usual violence when it comes to Quinn stuff, below ⬇️

William and Sam are the only ones In the Solaire clan that know about Alexis’ past. The first time Alexis realised Sam didn’t feel the same way she did was after she’d cried to him about it. He comforted her and she’d asked him about the scars on his back in return. Sam just gently shook his head. He didn’t want to share those parts of himself with her.

Every single one of Quinn’s Victims after he ran away looked like Darlin’ in some way. All of them had at least the same eye and hair colour and each time they failed to sate him the way Darlin’ could that’s when he’d …

Darlin’ doesn’t know the first part, Sweetheart and David do.

Headcanons of the vampire of Solaire Clan

I feel that Vincent has baby face and he uses he bangs to hide how young he is. Porter only really found out in that conversation before summit.

Alexis cried her eyes out after Sam turned because she felt his anger and sadness about what had happened. Alexis had no idea even feelings from progeny could do that to someone.

Bright Eyes is taller and bigger than Fred. Part of the reason they became friends is that Fred hid behind them when someone was chasing him.

Fred grew his hair to hide his injury on his eye. Bright has a scar on their neck and a small one on their chin.

Sam, over two years after their turning to them, how he was turned. They were in shock to say the least.

Cause of porter absence from the clan he has slowly been gaining a new friend. Lovely still keeps in contact with their friends at DAMN they make sure plan events at night for them.

Bright after their fight with fred talk to Sam why doesn't like them. They get their answer but not the answer they like.

Porter and sam are two oldest members in the clan(biologically outside of william).

William still have his oldest crown that got made centuries ago.

Sam still has his award for best healer he got before being turn. He looks at it with somber remembrance.

[anexistingexistence]

Vampire headcanon: any medical malfunctions your body had before turning don't magically get fixed just because you're a vampire now

For example:

•Bright still wears braces

•Sam still needs reading glasses

•Quinn still has narcolepsy

•William still has x-shaped legs

•Alexis still uses hearing-aids

•Vincent is still allergic to sea food

•Lovely still has adhd, ptsd, arthritis, and type two diabetes

•And vampire Milo walks with a cane

(semi) controversial redacted take !!

people are only fans of alexis the way that they are because she’s a woman WHO SAID THAT!!!!

i’m being deadass though, you don’t see people idolizing quinn for saying he would’ve turned darlin’ but i've seen that people are defending alexis for actually turning a man who said numerous times not to

and for me, it’s not necessarily a matter of “oh she turned him without his concent” because people do bad things when they’re panicking and maybe i could have left it at that. it’s the way she acted and continues to act afterwards. downplaying her actions, trash-talking sam’s mate who has nothing to do with her, and just overall being a bad person.

i understand that quinn is much worse considering that he kills, abuses, and tortures innocent people but genuinely, if he was a woman, i don’t think people would be as hateful of his character.

this isn't supposed to be man vs woman, if the roles were reversed argument btw

and that’s okay, because people have said they want to see deranged women characters and that’s fine, i totally agree 😭😭 but the people who are genuinely defending her and her attitude… please check yourself..

because it’s also disrespectful to sam and what he went through. it’s disregarding the years of still unhealed trauma and negative emotions that came from someone else’s actions.

(disrespectful to a fiction character, it’s insane i know lmfao)

i don’t know, to me it’s giving those people who fangirl over serial killers and abusers to say “oh they’re misunderstood! they’re just traumatized, it’s okay! they’re so hot btw, wish they would do that to me!”

and that’s frankly disgusting to me lol

I AM NOT SAYING YOU CANT SIMP FOR ALEXIS’ VOICE OR HER COMPLEX CHARACTER!!! BECAUSE BOTH ARE QUITE NICE!! IM JUST SAYING THIS IN THE CONTEXT OF PEOPLE DEFENDING HER!!! AND IDOLIZING HER!! THATS IT, DONT COME FOR ME 🙆🙆

Figured I'd try my hand at some Redacted character post/text edits!

Credit to @/sainthowlzon for all the Listener icons, and to @/elisacaleisa for their google drive with all the canon icons!

(slightly alternative version of the Solaires' GC edit below the cut bc i had a lil too much fun with what Vincent would name his contacts)

[slushiepizza]

Characters : Sam, Darlin', Alexis Tags : Grief, Main Character Death, Heavy Angst No Comfort, Gendered Listener (Fem Darlin')

For maximum experience, listen to this while reading

Author's Note : I've always liked the idea that if Sam and Darlin' were ever to have a conversation on whether Darlin' would ever be a vampire and live an eternal life with Sam; they'd decline.

Because I think that it'd make a nice resolution to the conflict that Alexis brings. I for one, love Alexis as a character. Her actions are cruel and unjustified, but she does have quite the tragic narrative in my opinion. Sam having to live a temporary life with Darlin' would show his difference in character and attitude towards love. Alexis once mentioned in the Monarchial Summit that she turned Sam because she wanted him, and I would like to see Sam experience that same "want" over someone but dealing with it in a different way; relishing his time with Darlin' instead of subjecting them to eternal life like Alexis did with him. It's a "breaking of a cycle" of sorts, I guess.

And that's also why I added Alexis in this comic, because I also want her to be the person witnessing this decision that Sam made and the grief he's had to live with as a result. Because I think she has the mindset that if you love someone, that you do whatever it takes to make them stay, while with Sam, he's willing to go through the grief and pain precisely BECAUSE he loves Darlin'.

Also the comet is Halley's comet, that passes by earth every 79 or so years!

[stars4krios]

I'm sorry but ppl have been DEFENDING ALEXIS!? Like people have been genuinely upset at Sam for calling her a bitch???? I'm sorry but who in their right mind could defend Alexis turning Sam AFTER HE SAID NO? HE TOLD HER TO STOP! HE WAS PUSHING HER OFF HIM UNTIL SHE FORCED HIM TO OPEN HIS EYES AND TRANCED HIM

Y'all are fucking insane for excusing Alexis' actions because "she's hot.", Sam had all the right in the world to call her a bitch and honestly he could've (and should've) called her worse because she is.

She assaulted Sam. End of story. AND she's not even sorry, she said it herself!! Now I'd get if y'all we're mad at Sam for calling her a bitch after she tried to apologize and if she was actually sorry and trying to make up for her actions but she wasn't, and I doubt she ever will.

Y'all have taken pretty privilege way too far.

and while we’re going to the wrong people for advice, do you want to ask alexis for fashion tips?

What happens when a vampire goes too long without blood?

{Throwing my own take on this into the world, its an idea thats been bouncing around my head from before I even got into redacted sooo I hope you enjoy the read!}

[Tw: Horror themes and descriptions of mild body horror]

Vampire culture is one of pristine nobility, their class is something they pride themselves on. Refinement, boundaries, customs, rules.

This strive for elegance however, is not borne out of nothing. Underlying the jewels and manners, and impeccable grooming and aesthetics, lies the potential for something much more monstrous.

It is this monstrousness that drives vampires to work so hard to distinguish themselves from the beasts laying dormant beneath their velvet over iron limbs, one bout of hunger away from snapping.

It begins slowly, at the onset of starvation. Darkness begins to glaze over their eyes, blackness swallowing them whole, their night vision becomes impossibly enhanced, it's their body's attempt to become better predators.

Then comes the stretching of fangs, canines growing incomprehensibly long so as to sink deeper into flesh.

If starvation is prolonged, vampires begin to lose their semblance of humanity, hair slowly falling off as the colour drains from their flesh, limbs growing disproportionate as their backs hunch over, skin stretched thin over jutting bones.

At this stage, it's still possible to bring a vampire back from the edge, albeit through much wrangling and hardship; deep within their psyches is still a seed of consciousness.

Past that however, is the point of no return.

Bone juts out from fingertips in arching claws, and the vampire begins to move on all fours. The body no longer has control over speed, so their lightning fast movement slows, becoming haphazard and clumsy. The only thing they can think of now, is blood.

Worst of all however, is the fangs. In a last-ditch attempt to scour for blood, the vampire jaw grows rows upon rows of fangs, jaw splitting for a wider bite. It's their body's dastardly hope, that somehow maybe, if their limbs are long enough, claws sharp enough and fangs numerous enough, that they'll somehow be able to quench their thirst. No sliver of the person the vampire used to be remains, they have succumbed wholly and entirely to the vampire curse.

⛧°. ⋆𓌹*​𓆩𓆪*𓌺⋆. °⛧

In ancient times, it was the most severe of punishments. Those found guilty of crimes beyond vampire comprehension were sentenced to solitude, locked away in high, distant mountainous caverns, never to feed again. Other cultures had their criminals sunk, shackled with the densest of silver and left to drop to the ocean floor where no human blood would ever reach them, and because vampires don't need oxygen to survive, and because no light reaches the ocean floor, they had no choice but to remain there, submerged, watching themselves turn into wretched creatures.

Its these imprisoned vampires that were the catalyst for nigh every human monster folktale. When earthquakes displaced boulders just enough for thousand year old creatures to escape into surrounding woods, they became "wendigos, skinwalkers and rakes".

When science developed enough, and the humans sent their machines to explore the ocean depths, it's these pale beasts that hunted their ships down, tearing metal like papyrus and becoming known as "sea monsters". They're the reason the human world fears the sea depths, terrified of uncovering the kind of beasts that could cause such carnage.

In recent times however, this form of punishment has been outlawed due to the risk to covert it poses, and to vampire youth it is but history. The old blood however, still remembers the trials and judgement, the imprisonment and sinking, the rarest of rare exceptions when an ally turned beast would surface again, the vampire curse reducing them to their most primal form.

⛧°. ⋆𓌹*​𓆩𓆪*𓌺⋆. °⛧

Despite their scorn of humanity, it is humanity they emulate, because even they fear the monster just beneath the skin.

The line between humanity and monstrosity is drawn in blood, and no matter how fervently vampires may suppress it, they are acutely aware of the beast hidden one hungry stomach away.

NO WAY!1!1!! BRAM STOKER IS A REDACTED FAN??!??! IS THAT WHY HE MADE DRACULA A VAMPIRE?!!?!112

[darlin-collins]

i was reading @us3rnam3-r3dact3d little brabble just about now and i found this lil gem

and i was like "you know what hell yeah!"

because they are just corpses

so like,why aren't they just corpses?

we need more realistic corpse vampire anotomy!

so i did some research (very little) and i got some HCs

tw: corpses obviously, very gross stuff

vampires who weren't completely drained out in their turning, would have dark veins because the blood in their veins is 1) not supplied by oxygen 2) their blood marbled ,all the HB has been broken down due to bacteria

the rigor mortis that vin mentioned above happens when they haven't fed for awhile

when the eyes lose oxygen and their cornea of their eyes their eyes would be cloudy, because even when they breathe the air is just coming in and out, because they don't need to

toughened leather like skin that dries easily and so cracks and peels off yes they heal quick but they hate to be cracking all day so they moisturize religiously ,of the vampire had more fat on their body, their skin might feel like soap/wax, because that also happens

i think we sorta agreed on this before, sterile vamps,cold/room temp body fluids

also obviously they're cold

this is @piffany666 hc and i haven't adopted it myself but cells don't regenerate, and dead cells don't form, so hair and nails are not change-able, you got turned with short hair? congratulations, you can only go shorter now! it's permanent and it'll never grow again

i will be rebloging this every now and then whenever i find new fitting info as i do more research,soo Keep an eye out!
