Unpopular opinion?

But personally I really like the idea of Michael staying human idk the dynamic between him and David I just think they could’ve learned and taught each other a lot and come to a sort of better understanding with each other. If only David had gone about it differently. Then in the end Michael can ultimately decide for himself what he wants rather than him just turning into one bc he decided to be stupidt and drink the “wine” blood lol

(I totally get the appeal of Vampire Michael too tho so I’m not against it bc I know in the long run it’d be heartbreaking for them if he remained human but I dunno

To my fellow lost boys writers/artists, is there a particular lost boy you tend to favor when writing or drawing?

Definitely re-blogging this

Howdy! I saw someone ask another author for tips on writing each of the boys and I was wondering what your take on it was? What kind of advice would you give someone trying to write for the fandom that's new to writing the boys?

Okay, so for writing tips, I think you just gotta keep in mind the little things. Like I write the boys the way I do based on literally just watching the movie over and over and watching each character in each scene. I'm just gonna write some things I keep in mind for/how I view each boy when writing!!

David: is constantly calm and in control. Even when he had a baton to the neck, and even when he and Michael were fighting, he was calm (he never raises his voice until Markos death) and acted like he was in control. Also, he's very strategic. He separated Sam and Michael in the final fight (knowing that Sam was responsible for two of his brothers deaths), and delivered a few blows to make him antsy and unfocused. While it may just have been because David is mean, his tricks in the cave also lead to Michael brushing off Star when she said the wine was blood. David understands the people around him and is scarily accurate at predicting their next moves. Is sadistic and dramatic and enjoys messing with others

Paul: does not shut up. Once. Every scene he is in, he is talking. You cannot go wrong with Paul if you just give him some dialogue. Is also the friendliest and one of the kindest. He openly welcomes Michael after he drinks from the bottle, immediately accepting him. He can also be seen helping Laddie into the cave. He also never stops moving. Is constantly walking, making hand gestures, or eating. He is also the most playful, as he pushes Marko just to get a reaction out of him and teases Michael on the bridge. He makes it clear from his tone and from his expression that he is only joking and is not trying to actually instigate a deeper argument. He is also one of the more affectionate boys, and gives people nicknames. He calls Marko "bud" and immediately dubs Michael as "Mikey". Is a stoner and can be seen sparking up and offering David a joint. Also, the flirtiest of the boys. In the first two scenes of the boys, he is seen flirting with a girl in both. Very big puppy energy.

Marko: is a wild card. In every scene that he's in, he's either seen smiling like he knows something others don't or is seen to be observing either people or his surroundings (he looks around the carousel and is the only one of the boys that looks Michael over besides David). Has a habit of biting his thumb nail. Is willing to fight and is the most aggressive/has the shortest fuse of the boys (he pushes Paul back, has to be held back by Paul, pushes Michael in the cave, and scalps someone during the feeding scene). Very short, very angry. He's teasing and is the most physically affectionate of the boys. Is one of the "quieter" boys, but is loud and teasing when he does talk. When he jumps off the bridge, he yells "bombs away" and that's kinda how I see Marko. Like a ticking time bomb. Quiet and unassuming at times, but always ready to pop off.

Dwayne: is the quietest and the kindest of the four. He is the one that specifically takes care of Laddie. Laddie rides with him, giving the impression that he's the "safest" of the four. Also, even once they're back at the cave, Laddie sticks by him, making it seem that he doesn't entirely mind being the safe one. But!! He's still one of the boys!! He laughs along with their teasing and enjoys it just as much as the others. However, even though he does tease Michael, he's a bit kinder about it. He doesn't deflect his question or ignore his existence. Instead, he brings attention to it and acknowledges Michael. Also, based on his fighting style, I would say that he's the most direct and least likely to play games. He doesn't play cat and mouse or threaten like the other boys do. He crashes in and immediately attacks.

Feel free to do with those what you will, but overall the only advice I have is to just watch the movie as much as you can. Really, thats the best way we can figure out their personalities. You can also read a lot of the fanfiction that's floating around, and use fanon to help with your writing.

Thank you for asking and have a nice day!!! xx

Darla:Gotta love knitting needles. I can make a scarf. I can make a hat. I can stab your eyes out. I can make mittens.

*The boys stop wherever it is they were doing*

Marko:Wait what was that middle part?

Darla: I can make a hat

"vampires will never hurt you" what if I ask them nicely

[ria-coolgirl]

Awesome 🤩

Back when I painted my jacket like Dwayne's. I've had this for years and years now and wear it daily. The pins have changed but the paint holds up insanely well.

I was wondering if you had any headcanons you wanted to share? Just random ones you haven't had the chance to talk abt yet?

I feel like they’re pretty basic ones that most people probably already said but

⭐️ Maybe TLB weren’t always “bad” they just eventually lost sight of who they once were after time being consumed by vampirism

⭐️ I think when TLB were humans they either had a horrible home environment or experienced a loss of the only person closest to them so it didn’t take much convincing for them to join and become vampires (bc they were at their lowest and most vulnerable points and they liked the idea/feeling of not being “helpless” anymore due to being treated poorly by others it was like a new chance at life for them)

⭐️ I think they stole that whole ass bed from IKEA for Star 😭 so she can sleep comfortably in that dump bc she did NOT want to hang upside with them

DO U HAVE ANY? 👀 FEEL FREE TO SHARE

[dulusionalapocaliose]

I desperately need crazy unhinged bossgirl woman and their pathetic man representation. And by that I mean intelligent, ambitious, unhinged, disgustingly educated but hyperfeminine, that knows how to fight magnifically and are mad science smart queens that would do what is needed to get what they want and need, and their husband/boyfriend supporting and following them around like lovesick puppies.
