#the vampire diaries meets wednesday

[amanda-n-newman-author]

A new release and the end of an era!

Today marks the official release of the final Hybrid Empire trilogy book, making this my first complete series. And, the completion of this trilogy marks the end of an era for me.

For those who don’t know, Hybrid Empire was the first novel I ever published (my debut novel) and the first completely original novel I wrote (before this, I wrote fanfiction which I kept mostly to myself). I started the first draft of Hybrid Empire back in 2012 when I was in my senior year of high school.

To think that the whole series is finally out there for the world to read completely blows my mind. In a way, it’s a little bittersweet because the first series I ever worked on has drawn to a close, though I’m no less passionate about my current projects compared to this one. It truly is the end of an era.

Teach Me Tonight

Pairing: Xavier Thorpe x Hispanic!Reader

Summary: Y/N and Xavier are friends, Xavier asks Y/N to tutor him in Spanish

Warnings:

A/N: Inspired by a Gilmore Girls episode, I saw a TikTok that Xavier girls are Conrad girls (the summer I turned pretty), JJ girls (outer banks), Jess and Tristan girls (Gilmore girls), Nathan girls (One Tree Hill), and Damon girls (vampire diaries) and I am definitely a Jess girl because Xavier gives me Jess Mariano vibes

Masterlist

Y/N was with Wednesday and Enid talking about what movie they were going to see.

“I just don’t know why we can’t watch a horror movie.” Wednesday said.

“I will not be able to sleep of we watch a horror movie, do you want me to keep you up with my rambling? Because I ramble when I can’t sleep, I don’t think you want me rambling at 2 in the morning when you’re trying to sleep.” Enid said

“Can’t we watch that Knives Out movie? The one with Chris Evans, it’s an interesting movie, it has Ana de Armas whom I love, it’s a murder mystery, fun for you Wednesday, and it’s Chris Evans, Enid.” Y/N suggested.

“Sounds good” Enid and Wednesday agreed. They were about to talk snacks when Xavier sat right next to Y/N.

“Hey flaquito, we were planning a movie night, you wanna come?” Y/N asked.

“I wanted to talk to you, actually. I was wondering if you can tutor me in Spanish.” Xavier said. Y/N excused herself and walked away from the table with Xavier until they reach a place far away from Enid and Wednesday.

“Flaquito, why do you want to learn Spanish? You never had any interest in learning before. Do you like someone? Did you meet a mamita cubanita and now you wanna impress her?” Y/N asked.

“You are correct, I do want to impress a mamita, so like can you help me, please?” Xavier asked, more like begged.

“Yeah sure, I can help. You wanna study at the library?” Y/N asked.

“No, we can study at the Weathervane if we leave right now. Unless you’re busy.” Xavier said.

“Just give me a minute and then we can go, okay?” Y/N said. She walked back to her table. “Hey, so I gotta help Xavi learn Spanish so we can do the movie night tomorrow. I was thinking we can eat chips, popcorn, and mini cupcakes. Have a little batch of dark chocolate cupcakes for Wednesday.”

“Yeah sure, it’s no problem.” Enid said.

“I can practice my archery. Enid, you’re going to hold the target.” Wednesday said, getting off the table. Enid whimpers as she follows Wednesday to the archery range.

“Flaquito, let me change and then we can go to the Weathervane, okay?” Y/N said and kissed Xavier’s cheek before changing into a casual outfit, grabbed her backpack, her phone, and went back to the quad to meet Xavier. “Okay, let’s go.” They called for an Uber and they got dropped off to the Weathervane.

“Do you want to order something before we get started? I know I can’t concentrate if I’m hungry.” Xavier said.

“Sure, I’ll get a booth and you can order for us, I want a..” Y/N started but Xavier interrupted

“Caramel frappe with a double shot of espresso, extra caramel syrup, and a double chocolate chip brownie heated up.” Xavier said.

“Thanks, how did you know?” Y/N asked.

“I pay attention, I’ll be right back.” Xavier said. A few minutes after ordering, Xavier brought their orders to their booth. “Here’s your frappe and brownie, where do we start with the Spanish thing?”

“Umm…we can just practice Spanish words. Um…how do you say this?” Y/N says, holding up Xavier’s mug of coffee.

“Cup-ito.” Xavier said.

“It’s actually called a taza, if you want to add ‘ito’ it would be tacita But it’s fine, how do you say this?” Y/N asks, pointing to her plate.

“Plate-ito” Xavier said.

“Plato, it’s Plato, or platito, but please stop adding ‘ito’ to everything, it’s like you’re not even trying.” Y/N said.

“Okay, I’m sorry, lo siento.” Xavier said.

“So you got ‘I’m sorry’ right in Spanish, that’s good. How do you say this in Spanish?” Y/N asks holding up her phone.

“Aren’t there like a million ways to say it?” Xavier asked.

“Not a million ways but there are a few ways to say it.” Y/N stated.

“I think it’s teléfono, celular, móvil, and that’s it, right?” Xavier asked.

“Yeah, that’s all.” Y/N said, two more hours of practicing Spanish…

“Ugh, I’m bored, we should get ice cream.” Xavier said.

“Then ask Tyler for some ice cream.” Y/N said stating the obvious.

“Not this ice cream, I want ice cream shop ice cream” Xavier said.

“Flaquito, ice cream is ice cream. We’re in the Weathervane, just ask for ice cream.” Y/N said,

“But they don’t have any cones.” Xavier said.

“Cones?” Y/N asked,

“I need cones.” Xavier stated.

“Okay, so if we go get ice cream..”

“In cones,” Xavier said, elongating the O

“Then you’ll be a perfect student for the rest of the night?” Y/N asked.

“That’s right.” Xavier said.

“I cannot believe you less. Okay, we’ll walk to the ice cream shop and I’ll keep testing you, won’t that be fun?” Y/N asked.

“You have no idea how much.” Xavier said, they packed their things and started walking.

“Okay, how do you say ice cream?” Y/N asked.

“In Mexico its nieve, in general it’s helado, right?” Xavier asked.

“Así es, flaquito. You’re learning pretty fast.” Y/N said.

“Now I have a question for you, how do you ask someone out in Spanish?” Xavier asked. The question kinda hurt a little but whatever.

“Um, you’d say ‘quieres salir conmigo’ for the general ‘you wanna go out’, if you wanna specify that’s it’s date, it’s ‘quieres salir conmigo a una cita’ but i Don’t like how that sounds personally.” Y/N says.

“Okay, um, are there any pet names you can say on Spanish? Besides flaquito because i know that means skinny.” Xavier.

“Yeah sure, flaquito, there’s mi amor, mi vida, mi cielo, corazón, querida. You could use that on her. Preciosa, linda, bonita, mi niña bonita, mi niña linda, mi niña preciosa, but that’s what my dad calls me so replace niña with chica and you should be fine on that front too.” Y/N said.

“Okay, that sounds good, thanks.” Xavier said, they made it to the ice cream shop and Xavier order for them and paid.

“You didn’t have to pay, flaquito.” Y/N said,

“Of course I did, you’re paying for the Uber.” Xavier said, Y/N then called for an Uber and they got to Nevermore. “Thank you for tonight, I’m gonna ask the girl out tomorrow.

“Yeah, im glad I could help.” Y/N said, they both went to their dorms and when Y/N went to her dorm to see Enid and Wednesday doing face masks. Enid is wearing a green clay mask, Wednesday is wearing a charcoal mask obviously.

“I would love to ask questions about you and Xavier but we gotta rinse these off.” Enid said stiffly, Enid rinsed her mask first and then Wednesday. “So what happened?”

“Nothing much, Xavier is going to ask someone out so I taught him Spanish, we got coffee and ice cream and her ordered for me and paid.” Y/N said.

“At least he paid.” Wednesday said.

“True. Let’s just watch a movie.” Y/N said,

“Can we Watch 10 things I hate about you?” Enid asked.

“Yeah sure, put it on the TV.” Y/N says laying down on her bed.

“I Don’t want to watch a Romantic comedy.” Wednesday said.

“Then watch a horror movie on my computer, it’s right there.” Y/N said pointing at her laptop.

The next day, Y/N woke up to knocking and she opened the door.

“Flaquito, It’s early, what do you want?” Y/N asked.

“To ask you something.” Xavier said,

“Make it quick, flaquito, Wednesday would probably chop my head clean off with a guillotine if I wake her up.” Y/N said walking into the hallway, closing the door behind her.

“Mi vida, quieres salir conmigo? Podemos ir a una cena romántica, ir por otro helado, lo que quiere la princesa.” Xavier said. Y/N was shocked.

“Wait, wait, did you learn Spanish so you could ask me out?” Y/N asked.

“Technically yes, I also learned Spanish so it would be easier to talk to your parents when I meet them. But yes, I learned for you,” Xavier said.

“You’re so sweet. And yes, I would love to go out with you,” Y/N said,

“Okay, great, I was practicing on Ajax for half an hour.” Xavier said, hugging Y/N.

“You were that nervous?” Y/N asked.

“Yes, yes I was. Wanna go get breakfast with me? We’re already up.” Xavier said.

“I’ll change and we can go eat breakfast.” Y/N said, she went to her dorm, changed, and met with Xavier in the hallway.

“You wanna go to the diner? I don’t feel like having Nevermore breakfast.” Xavier said.

“Yeah, we can go to the diner. Would this be our first official date or..?” Y/N asked.

“Our first official date is going to be much better than a diner. But let’s go, im hungry.” Xavier said.

“Yeah, Let’s go.” Y/N said.

The End

Hope you liked it, give me some more ideas for fanfics, I’m running out

[nightingale2004]

Fandoms of Shadowhunters, Supernatural, Teen Wolf, The vampire diaries, the originals, Wednesday, and legacies

I have summoned all of you for your thoughts on something and questions I need answers too.

How would the shadowhunter characters react to learning about actual mundane people being hunters and fighting the supernatural without any angelic help? Seriously, answer me this.

Like, imagine if the institute knows Brooklyn just saw DOZENS of reports of the Winchester bros causing all sorts of chaos to the point where it reached their world and the downworlders are literally trembling in fear at the very mention of the last name Winchester.

Would the shadowhunters intervene? Would they show themselves? How would they react to Jack and castiel along with their adventures involving Chuck, the heavens, and demons from h3ll?

How would the shadowhunters react to Jeremy Gilbert, who became a hunter along with the argent family? I feel like the shadowhunters themselves would either let these mundane hunters do their thing, or they would keep a close eye on them, and when necessary, they will reveal themselves. But i want to know your opinions here.

I also desperately want to know how the Salvatore boarding school would react to Nevermore Academy. I just want to know, and I feel like this is a must.

I also still hate the creators of Legacies for downgrading Hope to literally the most weakest character on the show to the point where she needs two siphoned witches to help her in EVERY BATTLE!!!

I also genuinely want to know what you all would think would happen if team free will meet the Mikaelsons and the shadowhunters of the Brooklyn Institute. There are not enough fanfics in the world with these crossovers

I also want to see the Hale pack and sam and Dean interact, and Stiles, being a complete little sh1t to them and protecting his pack and his bf Derek.

All I got to say

If I think of more I’ll add them to the list.

Pretty Please give me Campy Supernatural recommendations.

Zombies (I’m actually terrified of zombies so a lot are too scary for me)

Z nation (very campy the middle seasons are my favorite)

iZombie (only the first season)

Vampires (i wanted to be one when I was ten)

The vampire diaries (i don’t really recommend ALL of TVD it gets super frustratingly boring for me at least)

The Originals (the edgier spin off I did not like it but it’s worth mentioning)

Legacies (the only one of the three I actually recommend wholeheartedly. It’s campy it’s stupid and it’s fun also there’s a musical episode!)

My babysitter is a vampire (absolute classic but not as classic as-)

Buffy the vampire slayer (it had an awkward implied sex scene that made me laugh also has a musical episode)

What we do in the shadows (older skewed but absolutely hilarious)

True blood (be warned if you haven’t seen it. Confederate vampires abound 🤢, other than that though it’s pretty alright)

Werewolves (give me recommendations please)

Wolf Blood (absolute favorite of all time,its on Amazon prime and peacock and I Highly recommend)

Teen wolf (classic)

TVD and it’s spin-offs also count but If you want Werewolf content The Originals is probably your best bet tbh

Wolf pack (buffy cameo in the first episode, im hooked)

Miscellaneous (witches, ghosts, otherwise spooky)

Wednesday

Julie and the phantoms (girl accidentally summons ghosts by playing an old cd in her garage. Drama ensues. every episode has at least one song)

Binny and the ghost ( girl meets ghost boy and they fall in love, very cute. German Disney channel, is not on Disney plus the only way I know to watch it is piracy)

H2O: just add water (mermaids… need i say more)

Cursed (Arthurian but with a twist)

The imperfects (a group of 20somethings underwent experimental treatment for a condition that eventually causes them to develop supernatural powers that turn them into “monsters” lovingly called a “coming of rage” by its fans)

Dirk gently’s holistic detective agency (Elijah wood and Samuel Barnett are very lucky at solving crimes. Contains my poor meow meow Bart (love her) and also my girl crush Amanda. It’s weird and campy and I wish it had gotten more seasons)

The Witcher (I really liked season one and two!)

Charmed (the original AND the reboot are both very fun, it’s about witches)

Once upon a time (long and not paced very well but it’s fun at times, I had a crush on Peter Pan when I was a kid and his season is the best so there’s that.)

The 100 (Technically sci-fi but I’ve heard it gets supernatural at some point so when I get there I’ll probably move it, it’s kinda stupid but it’s campy and FULL absolutely brimming with hot men and lesbians and it Still got probably too many seasons)

Dead Boy Detectives (if you can’t tell I like mystery shows. GHOSTS! Ghost boys solve mysteries with their psychic friend! Has a lot of queer rep and tbh I think it’s handled better than a lot of stuff recently Especially Edwin, Jenny was a little less so but i did love that there were No homophobes I mean a few were implied but they don’t get any platform. VERY cute and very emotional at times I would rank it up there with The Imperfects as one of my Favorite modern supernatural shows. It’s a Netflix original as well so its chances of getting a second season are low but I adored it, it’s set up for at least one more season but you know how Netflix is.)

[wvsteria]

so i wanted to take this time to do a text call. but i’m doing it v specifically so as to not add like a million threads to my drafts lol. 

guidelines are as follows!

text requests are to only be from muses that would plausibly have each other’s phone numbers and have probably texted before. 

must have some kind of context to it like to talk about a plot point or just not be empty chatter. (this is to help with limiting how many text threads are floating around so i can focus on my actual threads)

requests are limited to 4 per mun ! 

though there is no limit to how many texts i’ll do for each of my muses

[rhysan3]

i’m going to be developing rhys into different universes to allow for more interactions :

modern verse where he is a business man .. something along those lines ( this is going to be an interesting verse because there is so much i could do here . )

the vampire diaries , i’m thinking he comes to mystic falls and is a club owner , interesting idea where he meets a human , feyre because he was having like visions of her , something of that sort.

wednesday where he is a professor at nevermore , pretty self explanatory given his abilities

harry potter where , i literally have no idea what to do!

all of these are general ideas and not set in stone so if you wish to develop something in one of these verses or have ideas for rhys and your character we can obviously discuss !

11:17pm.

exhausted. i almost didn't write an entry today, but i want to stay in the habit of doing this, especially for days i'm on campus. this is a college diary, anyways.

got up around 10am--slept in a little. dreamed i was playing D&D with vampire and his girlfriend (which i've never done) and then i almost drowned after being caught in a rip current in a flood outside their house. or something like that. i didn't have any classes today, but i wanted to visit a former professor, and my sister wanted to play smash at the campus arcade. wore my veil and wimple, which were quite wrinkled, and a new dress i bought from target. it was a slightly more revealing dress and i'm figuring out how to style it, especially with the veil.

drove and took a local route today--hurricane milton is coming our way and i was worried that traffic would be bad on the highway i usually take to campus. this involved my dad giving me directions though, and this was very frustrating. his directions can be quite unclear and often need clarification when i need to use those few seconds to switch lanes or make a turn or not. i was losing my patience by the time i arrived on campus, and due to my dad's (lack of?) directions it took even longer to reach my professor's office. i shouldn't blame him too much for not remembering every little detail, i know he's getting old.

my sister headed to the food court and i went to my professor's office. she was not in, though, though she said in an earlier email that she would be in during this time. i'm sure the hurricane preparations have caused a lot of upset, but it was quite disappointing and frustrating at the time, as that was the second time i'd tried to reach her for her not to be in her office; i had spent 40 minutes driving; and i was planning to stay on campus for about 4 hours.

i sat down for a while and answered an email because i was exhausted. then i went to meet up with my sister at the arcade. she needed my ID to be able to borrow a switch to play smash, so i signed up and left her to play while i went to the dining hall and got lunch. had a corn dog, some very thin and brittle french fries, and a slice of pizza. the fries were not good but i should eat at the dining hall more often, i get more there for less money.

then i went back to the arcade and played two rounds of smash with my sister. she'd been practicing and she was definitely improving. we were notified that the arcade was closing soon, so we packed up and returned the switch, i got my ID back, and we called our parents to ask them to pick us up early.

campus closed at 5pm that day, and i have Wednesday and Thursday off. am going downstairs to check if my bedsheets are finished in the dryer.

2. The Rookie

3. Sailor Moon

For now at least? But season 1 was delightful. Funny, witty, suspenseful. Some fantasy in there.

8. Gilmore Girls

Tagging: @oingo233 @morganupstead @district447 @wildflwrdarlin @bullet-prooflove

TV Tag Game!

— list 8 shows for your followers to get to know you better. tagged by @abliafina-18782 thank you my lovely!! 💕

No one judge my list. I'm a gay depressed ND british person who's really a grandma in the body of a 22 yr old.

1. Downton Abbey

This is my most rewatched show. I can quote it all in my sleep. No more needs to be said.

2. Midsomer Murders

Also heavily rewatched. If it's on on the TV, my friends do a game where they see how long it takes for me to guess what episode it is. Shortest time has been a few seconds, longest time a minute. It has over 22 seasons and I know all the episodes so well.

3. BBC Merlin

What's not to fucking love? Gay, fantasy, swords, humour... perfection. Apart from the last episode... we don't talk about the last episode.

4. Star Trek - The Original Series

This was a big part of my childhood cause my mum is a huge Trekkie, but it was also on the TV every night at 6pm during sixth form. Which became a ritual and an emotional support crutch. Didn't matter what happened during the day - tos would be on the TV at 6pm and everything would be fine.

5. BBC Miranda

I don't need to say anything else apart from: look at the gif. Of course I have an emotional connection to this show.

6. The Vicar of Dibley

Similar to the caption for Miranda... the gif speaks volumes... I also listen to this to go to sleep.

7. The Good Life

Now this is a British sit com from the 70s, based around a man and his wife who live in the posh suburbs of London. One day he decides to quit his corporate job and become self-sufficient, so he and his wife turn their garden into a farm with crops and animals and it's just carnage. They live next door to an uptight posh woman (right in the gif) who's very disapproving and her husband who is Done™ with life. I can't explain it well but it's funny and very entertaining.

8. Dance Moms

Can't believe I'm putting a reality TV show on this list but it's iconic. It's really familiar so I like rewatching random episodes and watching clips on YouTube. I just find it entertaining.

————

*gif isn’t mine* (got it from google)

stefan sauntered around the speakesy, a drink in his hand as he looked for his friend. he spotted the fellow vampire sitting with a few folks that looked like they were about to be dinner.

“stefan, how nice of you two join us!” klaus grinned. “it’s great to be here,” stefan smiled.

stefan sat next to klaus, sipping his whiskey and setting his eyes on the strangers in front of him.

“stefan, these are our three new friends, ruth, george, and james,” klaus pointed. “tell me, which one looks the tastiest?” he added.

stefan flashed klaus a naughty grin, turning to the three guests and putting on a welcoming smile.

“nice to meet you three,” stefan held his hand out.

“you, too,” james shook his hand. “are you new here? i haven’t seen you around very much.”

“i’m not new to chicago or this speakesy. i’ve been touring all the bars, trying to find out which one has the most tastiest alcohol, and this is my favorite so far,” stefan smirked.

klaus shot him a knowing smile, nudging his leg under the table.

“bruno’s is a great speakeasy. their alcohol is the richest and finest,” george stated.

“so i’ve noticed,” stefan nodded, raking his eyes down ruth.

she blushed, giving him a shy, alluring smile.

“can i buy you a drink?” stefan asked her. “i would love that,” ruth grinned.

“come with me.” stefan stood up and held his hand out. ruth took it gently, walking with stefan to the bar.

“how long have you been in chicago?” ruth asked.

“three months,” stefan answered. “what brought you here?” she questioned.

“well, there’s no better place to be in the 1920s than chicago,” stefan grinned.

ruth giggled, “you’re correct.”

“i always am,” stefan winked. “what would you like to drink?”

“south-side cocktail, please,” she said. “and a gin rickey,” stefan ordered.

the bartender nodded, beginning to make ruth’s drink first.

“how do you like chicago so far?” ruth asked.

“it’s amazing. the music, the food, the people.” stefan looked ruth up and down as he listed the last part.

she blushed again. “you’re very charming.”

“well, i try, especially around pretty women like yourself.”

“oh,” she giggled, putting her hand to her heart. “careful, or i might take you home with me,” ruth winked.

stefan chuckled, surprised by her flirtatious comment. “i wouldn’t be opposed to that.”

the bartender handed both their drinks. they thanked him, walking back to their booth. stefan was about to talk to klaus when someone else caught his attention, you.

you were up on the stage, getting ready to perform. now you were truly the prettiest woman in the club. tonight you were wearing a pretty sky-blue flapper dress. it went past your knees, clinging to your skin and hugging your curves. the top of the dress were lined with silver beads, the sparkly fringes contrasting well with your complexion and making your legs look longer. the neckline swooped low, the the straps of your dress sitting loosely, letting your breasts breathe compared to the tight corsets you were used to wearing in daily life. you loved being able to dress up to sing, it was the only part of your wednesday nights that you enjoyed. stefan enjoyed them, too.

he was a regular at bruno’s on wednesday night. the reason? you. ever since he had met up with klaus two months ago at bruno’s, he had been captivated by you. he was lucky enough to arrive just before you started. he stayed the whole night, although klaus left well before your set stopped, to watch you. you had a powerful, low and rich voice that was music to everybody’s ears. you were one of the club’s favorite singers. you brought great business and made tips that outweighed your actual paycheck, which wasn’t a lot to begin with. if stefan was honest, he was a fan of bruno’s alcohol and food, but you were the thing that kept him coming.

“excuse me, but i will be watching this show from up front,” stefan said. “oh, alright. i hope you enjoy it,” ruth smiled, sadness filling her eyes. 

“thank you. maybe i will see you later,” he smiled, planting false hope into her head. she smiled back, happy reflecting in her eyes. “i would love that.”

stefan nodded his head to her, walking over to the stage and sitting in his usual seat on the couch. 

“good evening. how is everyone?” you greeted the club.

cheers from admiring men and answers from anticipating women answered you. they were all ready to dance and sing along to your beautiful voice.

“good to hear everyone is doing well!” you smiled.

“how are you doin’, doll?” stefan asked. 

you locked eyes with him, smiling immediately. you were wondering where he was, beginning to fear that he hadn’t showed, but he did, like always. 

“oh, i’m doin’ okay. how are you?” you asked. “doin’ better now that you’re about to sing,” stefan said. 

you lowered your head bashfully, looking at him through your lashes. “you’re such a charmer, mr. salvatore.”

“only for you, sweetheart,” he winked. 

you could've collapsed right there if you didn’t have such good balance. even though you saw him and talked him every wednesday night, the sight of him always gave you butterflies. if your heart was still alive, you supposed it would’ve stopped and skipped a few beats. he was one of your best fans. he always gave you big tips and clapped and cheered the loudest out of everyone. you loved seeing him there and hoped he would never stop coming.

“who is ready for some fun?” you asked.

everyone gave another cheer and clap, stefan’s voice outshining all the others.

“hit it!” you exclaimed.

the violins started singing, the complementary part of the piano ringing through the speakeasy.

“all the lights in miami begin to gleam. ruby, blue and green, neon too.” you sang, dipping your head low to hit the lower notes. “everything looks better from above my king. like aqua marine, ocean's blue.”

“amazing, isn’t she?” 

“she knows how to light up a room,” stefan nodded. he turned to the person next to him, giving her a welcoming smile. “it’s nice to see you, rebekah.”

“it’s nice to see you, too, stefan,” rebekah smiled. 

stefan turned back to you, not being able to take his eyes off of you for more than a few seconds. 

“is tonight the night?” rebekah asked. “what are you talking about?” stefan asked without tearing his eyes away from you. 

“oh, don’t play dumb. isn’t tonight the night you were going to ask her out on a proper date?” rebekah hummed.

“as if she’s going to say yes,” stefan mumbled. “she knows i’m a ripper and has made it clear many times she doesn’t date vampires who don’t have their humanity.”

“then turn your humanity on! you already act like you do, anyways. what is so difficult about doing the real thing?”

“you know why,” stefan frowned. “maybe y/n can help you with all that guilt and self-shame, then. didn’t she mention how she had a terrible time with feeding and was brought down by guilt and shame the first couple years she was turned into a vampire? she understands what you are going through,” rebekah said.

“she doesn’t. she isn’t a ripper. she never could be, she’s perfect, and i’m a monster.”

“see, i can’t even tell if you really have your humanity off or not. are you sure you do, or are you faking to make niklaus happy?” rebekah raised her brows. 

stefan chuckled, “having your humanity off just means i feel no guilt and i don’t care about ripping people’s heads off. it doesn’t mean i don’t get sad from time to time.”

“mmm, i suppose,” rebekah sighed. “she likes you, stefan. a lot. she’d say yes no matter what, i’m sure.”

he shook his head, “your faith is almost believable.”

although he was a ripper, he seemed to have developed a liking to you. he wouldn’t call it love, though. it was merely an obsession. you were beautiful, warm-hearted, witty, and had the voice of an angel. not to mention, you were older than stefan, in vampire years, which made you stronger and stefan found that very attractive. ever since he had stepped food in bruno’s, he had been infatuted by you. he had to have you. no other man, or woman, was to flirt with you, buy you drinks, or touch you. you didn’t seem to mind the unspoken rule of you being his. in fact, you loved it. 

you couldn’t down he days he would ask you out ever since he bought you a drink the second night he saw you sing. as the weeks past, you began to worry that thinking he was attracted to you was all made up in your head. he was a ripper after all. how much could he really feel for you? but you mutual friend, rebekah mikaelson, assured you that he did like you, and that he was going to ask you out soon. you got tired of waiting, though. you weren't getting any older, or younger, and were never patient, and although you had your doubts about dating someone who could feel virtually nothing, your heart was in too deep to just stop and start over. so tonight was the night you were going to ask him out. it was rare that a woman approached a man, but you had been alive for a hundred years already. you had plenty of experience with initiating romance. 

after you were done with your set, you were going to ask him out. you were nervous, but excited. you were glad you had time while you were singing to plan out what you were going to say. 

“all the lights are sparkling for you it seems. oh the downtown scenes, shady blue. beatboxing and rapping in the summer rain. like a boss, he sang jazz and blues,” you crooned.

you scanned the crowed. you couldn’t help but smile at all the couples holding each other close, swaying to the music. images of you and stefan doing the same entered your mind. your wishing for this was so strong you could almost feel what it would be like to have his have his hand on your waist, his cologne wafting through your nose. you almost forgot the words to your song if you didn’t snap back to reality. 

“catch me if you can, working on my tan, salvatore. dying by the hand, of a foreign man, happily,” you sang.

stefan smiled as he heard you mention his last name. it was part of the song, but it was the best part as you always looked at him when you sang it. you sang it every few weeks, knowing it was stefan’s favourite song you sang, but that you also had to keep a different variety of songs. 

the way you looked at him when you sang it, how your pupils dilated and your body straightened up and swayed alluringly. the way you sang his last name was so personal, everyone knew it was meant for him, and he loved it. 

you sang for the next two hours, taking a fifteen minute break in-between. stefan watched you intently, tipping you graciously. you thanked everyone for listening, stepping down from the stage and walking to the back corner where the booths were. this was where you and stefan spent the majority of the night.

“you sounded amazing,” stefan smiled as you sat down.

“thank you. you don’t need to tip, you know,” you chuckled.

“what number one fan would i be if i didn’t?” stefan hummed.

“that’s true,” you giggled. “here is your dirty martini,” stefan handed you the drink.

“why, thank you. usually you don’t wait to order drinks until i’ve sat down,” you stated.

“well, you worked hard tonight. you were jumping and dancing, and i thought why not treat you tonight?” stefan explained.

“well, you’re very sweet. thank you.” you held up the drink, clinking the glass with his. “i’m surprised you haven’t joined klaus in killing the guests yet.” you looked over to klaus who was sucking people dry.

“oh, i had a big lunch before i came here,” stefan shrugged.

“i thought rippers never stopped?” you raised your brow.

“i think i’m behind my ripper days,” stefan sighed.

your eyes widened in shock, jaw dropping. “what?”

“yeah,” he gave you a half-smile. “i’ve been a ripper for years and honestly, it’s getting tiring.”

you looked at him suspiciously. “you’re not just saying this because -?”

“no, no!” stefan shook his head. “i mean, yes, but you know my friend lexi that i was talking about the other night? well, she payed me a visit two weeks ago and has been helping me with this. she’s really the only one that can help me, she doesn’t give up on me like others do.”

you nodded, understanding now. “do you have your humanity turned on now?”

“no, i’m afraid to,” stefan frowned. “i can help you, too, stefan,” you put your hand on his.

you looked into his eyes, your pupils dilated and eyes shining with love. “i understand what you will go through when you turned your humanity on. let me, and lexi, help you. i’m sure even rebekah would be happy to help.”

stefan shook his head. “you don’t understand. it hits me harder than anybody, i -”

“i know you’re a compassionate man, stefan. that’s what makes me so attracted to you. you have your human moments even when you have your humanity turned off. i can help you with dealing with the self-shame, and i won’t give up on you. i promise.”

you squeezed his hand, adding more assurance to your words.

he looked into your eyes, his chest filling with the most pain he had ever felt in the last few years.

“i’m also afraid that if i can’t turn my humanity back on, if i refuse to, then you’ll leave me and find someone else who doesn’t have their humanity off, and who isn’t a monster.”

“oh, stefan.” your other hand went up to his face, cupping his jaw. “you are not a monster.”

“i am,” he chuckled, “you’re just too kind to admit it.”

you shook your head, moving your face closer. “i have seen monsters, and you are not it. you’re just a man who is trying to get by as a vampire. you never asked for this, you can’t control it. it’s not your fault.”

“i can control turning my humanity on and off, though,” he remarked.

“true,” you sighed, “but you have suffered through so much pain, it makes sense as to why you would want to turn your humanity off. you just need someone to stick by you to help you through the pain.”

“i can’t burden you with that,” he disagreed.

“you could never burden me,” you stated confidently. “but look at you now! this is the most emotion i’ve ever seen you emit ever since i met you. you’re almost there. just flip the switch,” you gently encouraged him.

stefan’s eyes fell down to your lips as you spoke. your words got muffled by the fixation of kissing you. he wanted to turn his humanity on so he could feel all those lovely emotions he knew he would when he finally kissed you.

you noticed his stare, your own eyes dropping down to his lips. you saw a little sliver of his fangs under his top lip. it made your stomach churn. you imagined him kissing your lips, how he might hold your body closely. the way he would kiss your neck, biting your soft skin to create love bites. his big, warm hands massaging your waist, going lower and lower.

before you snapped back to reality, your bodies had pulled you two together. your lips met his softly, a burst of energy shooting up your spine. you grabbed his neck harshly, pressing him closer to you, kissing him hard. his hands went to your waist, immediately wrapping his arms around you and pulling you so you were basically on his lap.

if stefan’s heart was still alive, it would’ve exploded. his skin arose with goosebumps, a tingling sensation taking over as your hands raked through his hair and gripped the back of his neck. there was electricity between both of your lips as you kissed. all the nerves in your lips were bubbling with excitement with each movement. you both felt alive.

you opened your mouth to take a shallow breath, stefan slipping his tongue in-between your lips in the process. his met with yours, skimming the sides of your tongue as he kissed you. you moaned in his mouth quietly, causing excitement rushing through stefan’s veins. nothing could beat this feeling.

you pulled away, gasping for air. your face was hot, your burgundy lipstick smudged all around his lips. your face lit up with a smile. you could see the humanity in his eyes.

“looks like all i had to do was kiss you,” you giggled.

stefan let out a breathy laugh. “do you mind kissing me again?”

“of course not, but why don’t you buy me dinner first?” you suggested.

“i would love to. tomorrow night?” he asked.

“pick me up at six? we can have dinner at the steakhouse by my house, then you can come back to my apartment to have desert?” you suggested, looking at him with desire.

“sounds like a plan, princess.”

What We Do in the Shadows Season 3 Prepares For Colin Robinson’s 100th Birthday

https://ift.tt/3AYGLgg

The liquid-diet trio at the center of What We Do in the Shadows will endure the tortures of endless conflict in season 3. Nandor the Relentless (Kayvan Novak) and Nadja (Natasia Demetriou), will be taken to task by the entire Tri-State vampire community. Laszlo Cravensworth (Matt Berry) will pay, and dearly, for licentious driving.

For psychic vampire Colin Robinson (Mark Proksch), it’s another Wednesday, which some fellas in his office like to think of as Hump Day. What We Do in the Shadows is a series adaptation of the feature film created by Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement, and for the uninitiated, it is a mock-doc styled vampire reality show. The vampires’ familiar, Guillermo (Harvey Guillén), keeps things real for the human audience. Colin brings the vampires to ground.

The psychic or energy vampire’s food source is different from traditional vampires, who subsist on the life-giving fluid of living creatures. Colin drains the neurological system’s electromagnetic debris. Sometimes called prana or chi, it is very annoying and about as exciting as a mid-afternoon interoffice meeting.

“I think it’s a very relatable character and every office across the world has an energy vampire in it,” Mark Proksch said during FX Networks’ appearance at the 2021 Television Critics Association summer press tour. “I think it’s cathartic for a lot of people that are working in offices to see a manifestation, a character that embodies all the people they can’t stand in their office.”

An early trailer revealed the vampires from Staten Island now represent the Tri-State area in the Vampiric Council. WWDITS season 2 ended with the slaughter of almost everyone in a leadership position, so the seats had to be filled. The second rule of vampiric leadership is keeping asses in seats, the first being “don’t kill vampires,” so choosing these four might seem a grave clerical error. This is something far below the bloodsuckers’ pay grade, and obviously an HR problem. That Dilbert-looking guy in the basement apartment is the closest thing the newly appointed bureaucrats have to a human.

What We Do in the Shadows: Colin Robinson Steals Our Energy Through the TV

By Tony Sokol

“Colin Robinson is very happy to be the secretary and take the minutes, which is the most boring job in any organization,” WWDITS executive producer and writer Paul Simms told the TCA journalists. Nandor and Nadja differ on executive motions, but serve. Laszlo “did not become a vampire to be a paper pusher and doesn’t give a shit about official vampire organizations,” according to Simms. But he does spend a lot of time in the Vampiric Council’s library. While he is usually surfing ancient and archaic porn there, he also comes in very handy to Colin.

Colin spends a lot of time in the library during season 3. It is the largest repository of underworld wisdom in these and any other United States, with the accumulated wisdom of the greatest and most depraved minds history has ever seen. The library has whole floors of shelves filled with books and manuscripts on traditional vampires of every culture. It barely contains a pamphlet on alternative afterlifestyles.

“He’s kind of trying to figure out where he came from and where he’s going,” Proksch said. “And there just isn’t a heck of a lot of information about energy vampires. And so it’s kind of a fruitless journey. But I will say there’s a pretty huge twist for Colin Robinson in the final episode that plays off his hundredth-year birthday.”

cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "106e33c0-3911-473c-b599-b1426db57530", }).render("0270c398a82f44f49c23c16122516796"); });

Colin will turn-over a century this season, but energy vampires rarely have happy birthdays. They’re not nearly as nutritious as more emotional celebrations, like funerals and disaster memorials held far too soon.

But for now, Colin Robinson is quite content celebrating “Hump Day.” Even though he’s more of a “what’s the rush to get over the hump” kind of guy. FX shared another Dear Diary teaser, filled with puns, the most exhausting of all the comic arts.

You can watch the season 3 preview here:

As Colin retreats into his reveries on “department meetings, cross-department meetings, sending emails to reschedule team meetings that interfere with department meetings,” the vampires of Staten Island, and their most familiar vampire hunter bodyguard, continue to Excel in their dark reign of humor on What We Do in the Shadows.

What We Do in the Shadows season 3 premieres Sept. 2, on FX.
