The Vampire and The Knight

YESS YESSS I FINALLY FINISHED THE DESIGNS FOR THE VAMPIRE AU!!! been working on this for nearly a month!! Some stuff is subject to change (like hels’ sword, both of their designs in general because they would have multiple outfits). This is a Vampire AU but I amm kind of going for beauty and the beast vibes…

Here’s some lore below!! it’s not very well written, I wrote it a couple weeks ago while I was high and I don’t feel like rewriting it

Helsknight, a knight with a cursed bloodline. It’s said that every few years someone is born with demon blood in them. Hels and Wels, of course. Despite being twins, people shun Hels, suspecting and spreading rumors that he has demon blood, as he doesn’t have blond hair and blue eyes like his brother. Wels is the only one who treats him normally, like a brother, despite that. But even than, Hels still feels at times that he treats him differently.

Wels is a higher up knight (a general? idk what it would be called) than Hels. Wels has chosen other knights over him for stuff that he was perfectly capable of. Whether it was for the sake of saving face and not having a “demon” perform their duties, or because he truly thinks he’s not good enough, Hels felt alienated. Even by his own brother.

So he goes on his own, up to the abandoned castle far away, rumored to be home of a vampire. He will slay the vampire and earn the respect and adoration he so desires from his town. This is what he has to do.

Years ago Evil X lived in a small town with their older brother, Xisuma. In this town there was magic, and potions. It wasn’t a lot, but a few people in the town possessed some sort of magic and/or potion making skills

Evil X craved power, stronger and better magic than their brother, tired of being lesser than. They did a ritual to gain power from the underworld. In the process they were cursed by a mysterious entity and outcasted, exiled by their town. They were nearly killed, but Xisuma sent them away for their safety, but never allowing them to come back ever again.

Now they live in their castle, all alone, with the power they so sought after. Cursed to be a vampire, alone for years, either killing and scaring anyone who dare enter. After years their existence turned into a myth. Nobody knows if they’re real or not, but they’re scared of them.

Except for a single knight who comes to see them one day.

(and they kiss with tongue MWAAHHH)

I do want to make a full length fic with this soon :3

Hetalia Opinions ʚɞ

im a big believer in fruk soulmatism. romantic or platonic, it doesn't matter, those two were made for each other. not two people, but one soul split in two. they know each others as they know their own selves. with that comes tenderness and leniency, but also self-loathing and remorse. their love is self-worship in a way, a self-acceptance. their hate, their animosity, just a form of self-punishment.

its not about consent or consideration with them. one does not question the intentions of their own self. they just do, feel. its something pure, and romantic, and terrifying - and as much of looking into a mirror as it is looking into the eyes of a loved one.

and they'll protect each other to their last breath because it is human nature to pursue self-preservation. a world without the other cannot exist. they understand one another more than anyone else in the world and yet not at all, as often our own hearts and minds elude even ourselves.

and this sense of unknowing of the self is maddening. yet to be known by others is equally repulsive, makes us feel unremarkable and empty. francis and arthur's relationship is so complex and its because theyre just one soul in two bodies desperately calling out for one another and yet simultaneously hopelessly trying to distinguish their own selves.

i opened zhong hui's wikipedia page but i had to close it again after less than a minute because there was just TOO MUCH to process regarding this man's involvement with various other guys from the 3k period

[measureyourlifeincake]

my stp brainrot has combined with my casual interest in historical dress youtube and I decided to draw the Princess in a more historically-inspired outfit than her original design

If anyone's curious, her outfit/hairstyle is supposed to be from around 1828 ("around" bc my main reference/inspiration was definitely from 1828 but I had so many tabs open with different inspo images from nearby years and I don't remember which ones I actually used. also did you know it is surprisingly difficult to search for royal portraiture from a specific year) because based on some cursory googling, it seemed a lot of the elements of her canon base dress (off-the-shoulder, sweetheart neckline, poofy sleeves, straight waistline around the natural waist, skirt that isn't super full/poofy) seemed historically plausible for that time period

I also drew her hair in a more historically-accurate style for the period (but don't ask me exactly what's going on there because I'm not entirely sure myself) but I kept her canon tiara because it seemed plausible enough. anyway this was really fun to do!!!

[my-beloved-lakes]

Do you think Henry was ever invited to a period themed party and got really excited, thinking it would be a fun little nostalgia trip. He even dusted off one of his few surviving outfits from back in the day that would fit the occasion. Only to be disappointed and frustrated by the egregious lack of care that went into making it historically accurate.

For the Vampire Wally AU, what time does it take place in?

Roughly sometime around the 1900s and 1930s and I mean this very loosely. I'm mainly gonna be using elements that are art-deco-ish, which was popular back then, but it'll still have some fantastical elements here and there

Ysee the thing is, I plan to have the mythical creatures be a bit more distinct from the monster hunters through how "modern" they look. Like for Wally he kind of gives off a more old man fashion classic dracula vibe, since he's immortal he can wear whatever style he wants, while Howdy for instance will usually wear something more fitting for the 1930s (kinda, I'm taking artistic liberty hajshsjjd)

[sualne]

hii! honeslty just curious, I read/watched kuroshitsuji AGES ago and I don't think I've finished the manga anyway, does grell go by she/her?? I vageuly remember ppl headcanonning them as enby though iirc in canon he's a guy?

Your tags peaked my curiosity, I haven't seen any Kuro content in a hot minute, but I remember it being the absolute must watch in my peak anime watching years lol And I absolutely loved the manga's artstyle

in canon grell is a trans woman, yana toboso has said something like "grell is a man with a woman's heart" ages ago and sometimes around 2014/16 had tweeted something about wanting to be more careful with her representation of people like grell in the future, don't quote me on that thought because i only read that tweet once and only remember reading a shitty screenshot of a translation of that interview where she allegedly said that.

i can however show you this:

it's from a bonus chapter (after chapter 108) about the popularity polls (it's a very convoluted non canon chapter) but it's one of the most blatant example of her being trans.

there's also the way she constantly refers to herself as a "young maiden" ect. idk how it goes exactly in the og but in french they translated it so grell always refers to herself with feminine terms while everyone else misgender her including the narrator. she very consistently reaffirm herself as a woman through every single ones of her appearances, like it's a thing she very much does, every single time she's on screen.

i haven't watched the anime in forever (cause it's kind of a disgrace and insult to the manga lol) but if i remember properly (which i mostly likely don't) they did omit/lowkey censor some of grell explicitly going "i wish i had been born a woman/could have been able to carry children" when she first properly introduce herself as a shinigami & the other half of jack the killer. (the anime also really did lean a lot more into the pervert queer caricature whereas in the manga she's given a bit more dignity, especially the further the story goes. though that might be my own impression and maybe it didn't change that much i just love her a whole lot).

also because i have to, please forget the anime (the first two seasons that is) and read the manga first and foremost because oh boy, what a disaster the anime is (nostlagia and atmosphere wise it's entertaining, i really love the op & ed, but it just, i just cant man it doesn't even compare to the manga at all). only watch book of circus -> book of murder -> campania movie -> the new private school arc that's coming soon (idk what they called it) after reading the manga.

pretending i am a costume designer for my jegulily fantasy au fic instead of writing it

lily evans:

she would start in light pastels and as the story continues her color palette gets darker. green because that’s her color. also she would EAT IT UP in a snood.

regulus black:

he usually keeps it pretty simple to maintain practicality and avoid drawing access attention to himself. last one would be more of a ceremonial dress.

james potter:

you can’t put james potter in a historical au and not put him in leather. it’s just physically impossible actually.

remus and sirius:

they are both cardinals so this is what their vestments look like. but also i found this photo and it is actually perfectly their vibe (like do i even need to say who is who) so this is what they would dress like when they aren’t being cardinally. remus would also walk with a wooden cane.

might make a part two with more characters soon ;)

[ifindus]

I might have gone on a nostalgia trip on NRK after looking up ghost documentaries and came across uhu. I did not know they made three seasons of that show and I forgot how lovable the characters were.
