Direct correlation of South Korean fashion and beauty taking over Indian Gen Z consumer trends → urban Indian queer youths developing the ugliest, blandest, most classist, most Tiktok-wise homogenized fashion aesthetic and beauty standards ever seen in South Asian history in the late 2020s

(10/???) COMPLETED: CONNECT

Watched this because of the lure of Go Kyung Pyo playing an evil serial killer, however enjoyed this cat-and-mouse game played between these two morally different characters. Also, bonus, this was directed by the master Takeshi Miike, so effects, storyline, and cinematography were on point.

Share 10 facts about an OC and their significant other

Audrey has so many affairs and significant others both in her canon story and otherwise. So she’s out, for this round. (X)

I just did Catherine, or my “Lady Samedi.”

(X)

On Baron Samedi in Haitian Vodou.

So, the vampire Marian, my self insert and their (ex) boyfriend and best friend, the werewolf Oscar it is!

Thanks again! @arrthurpendragon 💞

1. South Asian, Marian is South Asian and French/Norwegian like myself. But more than 50% brown, also like myself.

2. Marian is bi-gray ace-polyam. Marian is they/she but like myself, prefers they/them to most.

What’s a straight vampire?

3. A follies performer and flapper in the 1920s also an aspiring writer and poet. An all around creative person.

4. My most neurodivergent vampire. Though all my vampires are that way to a degree. But Marian’s canonically autistic-adhd and low needs BPD.

5. Marian’s a part time occult dabbler and has a skill-ish for reading tarot cards. (As do I).

6. Marian is culturally and religiously Hindu, this leads to interesting conversations of philosophy and religion with Catherine (a Vodou practitioner) and Oscar (a catholic) and is in juxtaposition with Audrey, a cultural French Roman Catholic and functional atheist sometimes agnostic.

7. A goth in the modern era, they like post punk and black clothes. (Brown goth playlist).

8. Bobbed hair for eternity because they got turned in the year 1922. Which is very gender, I think. Gabrielle de Lioncourt is jealous.

9. Is old enough to remember the “Great War” but either represses it or geniunely forgetful of the tragedy, for their sanity.

10. Their favourite book is Dracula (1897) by Bram Stoker, they have a particular fondness for Mina.

Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein is a close second. Their favourite modern-ish vampire book the The Vampire Lestat by Anne Rice. They want to hug Nicolas and lecture Lestat the bi bastard (affectionate) bluntly but all in good intent. They’d like to meet him! Wouldn’t kiss him though, especially since Catherine already likes Lestat more than Marian personally ‘gets.’

As a side: Audrey is Lestat’s mistress in some universes. 🤷‍♀️ & Catherine a fledgling of Lestat.

Onto Oscar…

He is Latino, born in Texas near Mexico, and also a descendant of Quincey P. Morris of Dracula (1897 fame, or infamy) to some vampires.

He is a werewolf by bloodline rather than biting, a burden he feels a myriad of complex emotions about. (Werewolves overly sarcastic) (lore for werewolves part 1) (part 2)

Cis male (he/him). Bisexual disaster. Polyam (maybe??) (that's not as set in stone as my vampires) - he understandably doesn't like loneliness.

A flirt as a defence mechanism, but it's mostly words and only words, he is not the "Latine lover" trope. It's a trauma response.

Latino and Roman Catholic.

Multi-skilled! A pianist, a gentleman, a cowboy and a skilled sharpshooter and marksman who seldom missed a pistol shot.

As a werewolf he has an extended lifespan and above-average healing abilities. Whilst not immortal in the vampire way it does make one's priorities change and change one's morality a bit. He is willing to die for a cause he believes in, just like his ancestor, Quincey Morris, but if he can stave off the shadow of death, he will.

He has an odd affection for some vampires, which is odd given everything about him. He sees it as many vampires did not ask to be what they are, just as he did not ask for lycanthropy.

Can shift into a werewolf when threatened or attacked, still holds an obligation to Mistress Luna (the moon) as most werewolves do, but he can shift in defence of himself and others.

His relationship(s) with Marian and Catherine is... complicated in an endearing way. They say they are "friends" sometimes they're lovers, and other times they're queer platonic. Mostly they're just bound by fate, regard, mutual respect and queer affection, platonic or not.

kids LOVE scary stuff especially stuff that’s scary-cute i’m not surprised your cousin likes poppy’s playtime at all. he probably saw it from youtube videos or his friends. enjoying like “kids horror” is a p normal part of development, it allows kids to engage with scary things in a safe environment. i wouldn’t worry too much

no no, you're right. I'm probably projecting this to myself. I don't think my 4-year-old self could handle it lmao

I've been listening to a horror folklore podcast recently and what I've mainly learned is that South East Asian folk does not fuck around

I love folklore so much because depending on the location and era it comes from it's either the most terrifying concept or the dumbest thing you've ever heard
