I ran out of time and motivation so have a coloured sketch only, but

Behold, Fiddleford H. McGucket cosplaying Sam Walls from Vampire Therapist. I have a more original design for cowboy-vampire Fiddleford cooking, but my inspiration for it was Sam anyway so I wanted to draw this first for Halloween.

I should just draw Sam sometimes ahaha I love vampire therapist it's practically my favourite game

Also,YES, he's meant to be wearing cowboy boot crocs, if I had more energy it'd be more clear. crocs are like the only shoe I can imagine Fiddleford wearing after he recovered from insanity, and this is technically him from my AU where some of the characters have their physical bodies get younger by few decades for spoiler-to-possible-fic-reasons because I want to explore what they would do having to reflect on their life now that they have a semblance of a second chance to re-live it.

Started playing Vampire Therapist. The characters are very fun. I love digging into the deep psychology of people/characters, so a game about unpacking deeply ingrained psychology is right up my alley

Paper and a tiny sticky note- I find sticky notes feel more temporary and disposable than a sketchbook, and it helps me get around the desire to only do things that will look finished and good. So by embracing an even more temporary medium, I am more willing to do stuff and as such practice more and as such make things I like.

Fr tho, the game is only $15. There are times when I become aware that $15 is a fair price. But overall it is a delight, and I am the target audience.

Vampire Therapist FTW

I don't tend to buy games/visual novels when they're first released and this week was an expensive one for me, but I grabbed this little gem as a consolation prize. I've missed visual novels and I was instantly interested in its premise. I mean, "Vampire Therapist" says so much so quickly!

Now, I haven't finished it yet, but I have had a delightful time with it thus far. The main character, Sam Walls the vampire cowboy, is an adorable cinnamon roll who wants to help other vampires thrive. His new vampire mentor, Andromachos, is as patient and civilized as you could hope an ancient vampire could be. Each of the patients is unique, and some of them are historic figures.

The view on vampires, their psychology, and their issues is interesting. One thing I appreciate is that the game goes out of its way to show how philosophies, religious beliefs, and other modes of thought influence their worldviews, even many years after those modes of thoughts dwindled in popularity. It reinforces how they are products of older times.

I've become partial to the term "bloodfather/mother/parent" for those who turn others into vampires; I automatically liked it better than V:tM's "sire."

You learn various cognitive distortions and identify them in the statements your patients make; this is the heart of the game experience. I've found myself hearing Sam in my head, identifying them IRL since I started playing, which has added an extra layer of amusement.

I haven't done multiple playthroughs yet so I haven't seen if your choices make much of a difference. There have been some moments when it's clear that it doesn't matter what you choose - you'll either have to go through all the options or you'll go through until you choose the right one. Either way, there doesn't seem to be much difference in how others respond. After a certain point in the patient-cowboy therapist exchange, you don't get many choices; Sam just proceeds to wrap up with his observations and advice.

This has been a little disappointing, since it may make replaying it less satisfying, but it's also reduced the need to save-scum for a persistent little perfectionist like me.

The art is beautiful and Western-style, which I prefer. The entire thing is voiced by good voice actors in a variety of accents which I have had no trouble understanding; having so much voiced is a special treat!

The music is good, but one thing that might bother some of folks is that the music from the club runs rather continuously beneath most conversations. If you find it distracting, you may have to turn it off.

I hope to say more later, but I thought I should put in a good word now. $15 ain't a lot but can be a lot to an indie game company, and buzz can be important for something newly released. If this sounds like it's your bag, there's no harm in grabbing it. You might even learn some things that'll be of use to you.

And yes, Matt Mercer does voice a couple of characters. That wasn't a main draw for me, but I know it is for some folks.

Okay the screenshot is on my computer but I think the quote is something along the lines of "My brother wasn't a good man, but he protected me" in Sam's second therapy session and like...

Idk man. Maybe it's just late but I can't stop thinking about Jeb (I'm assuming Jebediah?) Walls.

You're a kid. Your father dies for a cause that doesn't matter to you. Your mother marries an evil man who drinks up the money and beats you, but it's fine. You can take it. But then he tries to do the same to your little brother.

So you kill him, and you run.

And you're just a kid but you need to keep your brother alive so you need to beg and steal and push things like virtue out of your mind because poor kids don't have the luxury of morals.

And you grow up in infamy and sin, but your brother is alive, and somehow you are too. And you get married to a girl and think about maybe settling down.

And then you're offered this huge opportunity- this heist that would have you and your great-great-grandchildren set for life. Of course you take it. Just this one last job. Just this one, and then you can go home to your wife, and your brother won't be in danger anymore and that's all that you've ever really wanted.

But you die, and you never come home. And your brother is roped into things you can't possibly imagine. You tried so hard to keep him safe with the tools you had and it didn't work.

INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE 1x01 ・ 2x02

face pressed up against your longing

[mischivousvoid]

If the post where you complain that you should draw Sam Walls properly sometime gets noticed by Little Bat Games, you goddamn draw Sam Walls properly. So, here's my depicton of everyone's favourite Vampire Comboy♡ I don't know why he's in a field, but I just wanted to draw him happy goofing off with someone, stumbling back and catching his hat to keep it on his head. People and characters get so much brighter when you imagine you're in love with them, and perhaps just a little bit of it is the real deal for me with Sam. I adore this game with my whole heart, and fun fact, it released on my birthday this year and it was the best birthday gift the universe could have given me.

I also cannot get a silly Vampire Therapist and Gravity Falls crossover idea out of my head now, but I'm still working on it and it deserves another post anyway.

Interview With The Vampire – 2.07: I Could Not Prevent It

[strawlessandbraless]

Supernatural was good actually

[starry-bi-sky]

wolfpack. aka: if not friend, then why friend-shaped?

"Hey-- uh, Danny?" There's an almost imperceptible tremor in Tucker's voice.

Danny doesn't look up from what he's doing, his pencil scritching across his notebook as he tries to do another quadratic formula question. "Hm."

"What's -- uh -- what's with the dogs?"

He looks up now, and finally sees where Tucker is -- standing in the doorway of his room with an ashy look on his face and a skewed, nervous smile. He's got a white knuckle grip on the doorknob. Sam is wide-eyed behind him, and using him as a partial meat-shield.

Danny looks down to the two giant ghost wolves sprawled next to him lazily. One large green one with his head in Danny's lap, letting him use him as a prop-up for his notebook. Another equally large black one splayed against his hip, sleeping on her side with her head tilted inward to his calf.

Automatically, a grin tilts across Danny's face, and he lifts his notebook up to scratch behind the green one's ears. He opens a lazy eye, one that is bloody red with a ring of yellow around the pupil, before slipping it shut and leaning his head into Danny's touch. "This is Sirius and Procyon," he says, and reaches down to scratch Sirius' belly. "And they're not dogs, they're wolves."

"Great," Tucker says, his voice suddenly much smaller and faint, "Love that distinction."

Sirius makes a great big groan, and Danny's grin widens, his heart swelling with fondness. His hand slips away from her belly, and before he can put his notebook back down, Procyon pushes his head up his lap until his ear is against his stomach, demanding pets now too.

Sam peeks her head up from over Tucker's shoulder, "I think what Tucker's asking here is what are they doing here, Danny."

He shrugs, scratching under Procyon's chin. "They kinda just showed up. I tried sending them back to the Zone, but they keep returning." And they were weirdly intent on just following him around, which is the only reason he gave up on returning them. They weren't causing trouble, and they knew how to hide around the living. Plus, he just loves dogs. "So now I have two wolves living with me."

This, oddly enough, did not do anything to calm Sam and Tucker down. Tucker's mouth purses into a thin line, and he presses the sides of his palms to his lips in prayer. "How have your parents not found out about this?"

Danny wordlessly raises his hand, and his sleeve slides down to reveal a thin chain bracelet hooked around his wrist. He whistles sharply, and both Procyon and Sirius jerk their heads up to look at him, ears pricked up and eyes alert.

Silently, he points to his wrist and rattles it twice, and in unison both wolves stand up and pounce. Instantly, they turn into a respective, opaque black and green mist that swirls around the bracelet and forms into two, flat wolf charms.

Both wolves are posing in the stereotypical wolf howl, with little stars indented on the sides. Procyon's charm has the Canis Minor constellation engraved on it, while Sirius has the Canis Major.

Danny faces Sam and Tucker, and points at his wrist. "Like this."

Sam is Adopted

So! Have you ever noticed how Sam doesn't look like either of her Parents? Her Mom and Dad are Blonde and Ginger, and neither of them have Purple Eyes. How would Sam ever come from either of them?

She tells people that she dyes her Hair and wears Contacts, but the reality is that she was adopted as a baby by them. They had just found out that Pamela was Infertile and they wanted an Heir foe their company, so they decided to Adopt a kid.

But the Adoption Agency didn't have any kids who would realistically look like them, so they just got the first kid they found.

She had been left at the Orphanage by her Mother citing an inability to raise her and an unstable income. She never told the Agency her name, but told them that the baby's name was Sam, named after her Grandfather.

Sam was raised knowing that she was Adopted, but never really put much interest into it. Until one day when she decided that her adoptive Parents support of the Anti Ecto Acts was a step too far for her. She took an Ancestry DNA Test to see if she could find her Bio Mom to get away from them.

The results came back, and she found out that her Mom was a woman from Metropolis named Lois Lane.
