FAN LETTER Tom Van Helsing to Sam [REDACTED] Dated October 13th 2017

To Sam, Thank you so much for your amazing fan letter, man! Much better written than anything I could write when I was sixteen. I also loved the comic included, I will treasure it deeply. I am so happy to sign your posters of Sam Von Bloodgorge for you. These were some of my favourite shots from the second film. Please find them enclosed. I am sorry to hear your mum has not been supportive with your transition, and I wanted to let you know that I understand that feeling. I had a few people in my life who were telling me it was the worst thing I could do, but you will find your family, the one that supports you. Focus right now on existing, because living your life your authentic way is a much more powerful fuck you than anything else. I’ve included in this package a support booklet from the charity I support regarding Trans Youths. If you need anything, there’s a hotline on there you can call. I wanted to say too, that choosing the name Sam after my character made me very emotional. I think you might be the first person that I know of to do that since taking this gig and transitioning. Sam is a wicked name after all. It took me a little while to come to a conclusion on Tom, but when a name feels right, there isn’t a better feeling. Thank you again for writing to me, all the way from the United States. I hope to see you at a convention soon! In the words of Sam Von Bloodgorge: Stakes High! Vamps Low! Yours,  Tom Van Helsing

Hey so. Based on the fact that this toxic af fandom ran a fandom favorite off the website for their transmasc character headcanons, I just needed to rant about people who gatekeep this fandom and these characters like they own them?? Newsflash, you don’t! Everyone is allowed to headcanon as they please. They’re not stating “x character is transmasc and that’s that.” They’re putting an idea out there that they like and connect to. It’s called a headcanon for a reason.

You know what? Yeah. Nonbinary Van, I love you. Bigender Nat, I love you. Transfem Misty and deeply repressed transmasc Jackie, I love you. I like those ideas and I’m not stating that’s the canon but I AM saying it’s fun to explore and there are pieces of canon that feed into it and lead me to think about this. You don’t have to agree with headcanons. You’re allowed to make your own headcanons and wholeheartedly love developing and sharing them. I hope the new Netflix fans brings a broader, more open-minded audience that’s able to appreciate writing, art, ideas, thoughts, opinions, etc. without losing their minds.

OceanBound by Beau Van Dalen

A classic tale of boy-meets-girl. Except the boy, Francis, happens to be a lonely warlock bound to an island by a mysterious curse. And the girl, Angela, is a siren who tires of spending her endless days singing for sailors and eating humankind.

On a fateful night, Angela attempts to seduce Francis during one of her hunts, but suddenly realizes that she cannot, for the young warlock is deaf.

The siren is on the verge of giving up and leaving Francis be, when a tidal wave slams her to the ground and injures her badly. Instead of leaving her to die, Francis takes Angela in.

Although the two form an odd pair, they find themselves appreciating each other’s company more than they’d thought possible. However, as their friendship blossoms into romance, Angela has questions: Who is Francis, really? And why has he been cursed, when he appears to be nothing more than a lovely young man?

The siren wants answers—and she will get them, no matter what.

FFXIV Write 2k23 - Day 23

Suit - Emperor AU, Regula x Varis, Trans!Varis HC, tw: dysphoria mention

Regula smiled softly at the florist, this was his third visit this week and she was clearly dying for good gossip. Regula, legatus of the VIth and only son of one of the older families of Garlemald, buying flowers and wine for an unknown beau was certainly gossip. “At least tell me her name, van Hydrus.”

“Half the city would know by Darkday. No thank you.” He chuckled softly, “just my usual please ma’am.”

“Fine, but I am dying to know what kind of woman deserves Heliotropes, Honeysuckle, and Yarrow.” She huffed a bit and finished the arrangement. “There you go. One bouquet of longing and everlasting devotion. I can’t wait for the day you get to upgrade it to a bouquet of passion.” She gave him a wicked grin as he paid.

“That day might be soon, with luck, I’ll be able to propose to my love publically at the Winter Ball.”

“Oh! How exciting! I’ll make sure to watch the news after the ball for the story, unless you come tell me in person.” She giggled and waved him out of the shop as he carried the bouquet out, putting his cloak over it to protect it from the snow while he got into his car.

They’d been forbidden from being open about their relationship after Varis’ transition. He was meant to be a prince, the pregnancy that had kept Varis hidden in the palace supposedly ill with the same thing that’d taken his father had to be disguised. Solus directly blamed Regula for Varis’ condition and tried to turn the pair against each other. It hadn’t worked, it never would have worked. Varis and Zenos only survived the dysphoria because Regula was there to keep his husband from leaping off the top of a tower. Regula would always stand beside Varis, no matter what.

Solus had given them one gift when he gave the throne to a random Eorzean adventurer.

He gave them the chance to make their secret relationship public. Varis was still hesitant, worried over how the Senate and other noble families would judge him, but Regula was beyond caring. They could whisper until their lips went blue, he wasn’t letting fear of discovery drive a wedge between them anymore.

Hells, Hero was openly gay and by a quirk of his biology, able to bear children as well. He couldn’t imagine the young viera trying to keep them apart the way his predecessor had. So he’d started to drop hints, giving Varis flowers, buying him his favorite vintages of wine, giving him nice practical things like armor polish and a new quill with his name on the cover of the case in gold lettering.

The ball was next week, and he’d be damned if he missed the chance to finally have the family that was stolen from him by the bloody ghost haunting the palace. Zenos was his son, Varis was his perfect wonderful husband, and he would throw everything away if it meant he could be part of their lives properly from here on out. He pulled his car up to the tailor and parked, taking a deep breath and moving the flowers towards the warmth of the sunlight. One last chore, and then he could go home to his love.

Hiraeth by Beau Van Dalen

Lir was human, until he drowned.

Destined to take back the freedom of a merfolk clan called the Halloran, reborn in the depths of the ocean as a half-man, half-Halloran entity, Lir is meant to be a savior. Yet, Lir only wants to be human again, because his people are at war with what he has become.

When the Halloran Queen learns of Lir’s existence, she tracks him down and a race against time begins. If she catches Lir, he will become a slave used against his own kind.

As Lir sets out to find a remedy for his newfound powers, Lir’s mentor, Tobias—the man Lir secretly loves—is determined to aid Lir despite the risks. He could get arrested. They could both die. Lir is thankful for Tobias’s presence, but as the days go on, magic whispers to him that there is no cure. He will never be human again. And to stay alive, Lir must devour what is the most precious to him—Tobias's heart.

So. I wrote this Vancula drabble a few months back in which Van Helsing’s FTM. I thought it was too self-indulgent and cringe to post it to AO3 at first but thanks to the encouragement of some of my lovely friends I decided to post it after all. And, well… what better moment to do it than pride month? 😅 So here’s that! 🏳️‍⚧️
