#vampaneze

[aubreve-art]

Lately as this year draws to a close, I’ve been thinking about all the things I could’ve contributed to my favourite fandoms if I’d just had the confidence in myself earlier on. Top of my list was always trying to share my own ideas of what Gannen and Vancha were like before they were blooded; what made them join the vampaneze in the first place; and how their three centuries of separation happened, given that Vancha says they were always so close. And how horrible that must have been for them both 😫

Currently I’m still fleshing out the story into something I can work with, but I’m aiming to make it a fairly regular thing. I’m using the DSS (books and manga) as a starting point, but will be filling in the gaps with a lot of my own headcanon as we don’t get a ton of clues from the Saga itself. Also I’ve not read the Larten Crepsley series and don’t really intend to, so if anything I come up with contradicts it, that’ll be why.

Anyway - enjoy this little Shanta gift in the meantime! My very sketchy concepts of Gannen and Vancha from their first year together as assistants… to their last.

Merry Christmas and have an amazing new year! xxx

Started thinking about Cirque Du Freak again. The series has always been close to my heart but I just haven't read them since like,, 8th grade? I don't have the attention span anymore but I did have a oc for it. Back then my ocs were just like,, siblings of existing characters and looked exactly like their sibling but I've since grown out of that and I'm retiring my old oc for good. So I'm making a new one. The last oc was a Vampaneze so I wanted to make this guy one too. I feel like he would have a very sly and carefree attitude. But he's kinda a good guy? He gets along with vampires pretty well.

I need to work out more details and stuff but I've got a basic idea for how he looks. Here's a sneak peek at him so far

He kinda looks fucked up right now but I'll clean it up later. I think he looks kinda cute ngl

I have no idea what to name him. Any suggestions??

When you gaze into the abyss again, the abyss also gazes at you!

Is the whole vampire thing some weird obsession or what?

Uhm.. well it started out as that but then after my friend Darren was turned into a half vampire I realised they SUCK and the vampaneze are way better!! And yeah so I am one now and I'm a REAL one unlike Darren🙄 technically its the same thing but we do all the killing parts!! 😝😝

I’m having feelings about vampire books that I read back in my childhood 🥺🥺

[goatmeatstew]

I have a new Cirque Du Freak oc and theyre kind of an asshole. I got their name from a name generator that said it means gentle deer even if they're anything but gentle lol

They like pretty people, bright clothes, and not giving a shit about what others think of them. If someone judges it for anything they'll ask the person why they should care about their opinion, even if the judgment is valid.

Starting off with one of my favourite characters from the very first fandom I got into, Gannen from the Darren Shan Saga. This poor man lived rent free in my teenage mind longer than I’d like to admit - then I found @thevampatease ‘s blog and their analyses made me love the whole series even more.

Is it weird to dedicate posts on here? Anyway this is for them :)

master shan, due to your ingenuity in foiling kurda's plot and stopping the vampaneze, we are granting you an extra hour in the ballpit

Kinktober Round 3

I’m rereading the Saga of Darren Shan (Cirque du Freak) and oh my goddddddd

What do you put in your books Darren?? It is not often I read something so addictive. I saw someone describe them as being like crack. And yeah I can see that I don’t even read Animorphs books this voraciously

(Spoilers below)

And yet. Rereading the second half of the series. When you know who the vampaneze lord is and how it’s going to end. Just:

God. (Or should I say, Charna’s guts!) the planning that must have gone into the series. I can see the foreshadowing/just a prophesy that they don’t know how to follow properly because they don’t know how it ends. It’s like how a horror film protag doesn’t check why a cup fell down because they don’t know they’re in a horror film. Darren! You had Steve at your mercy! SEVERAL TIMES!!! Kill him! It’s unbearable!!! He’s lying!!!!!! This is like a fucking Greek tragedy mess of a plot!!!!!!!!

(Just try. Try reading Allies of the Night knowing full well what’s happening)

(The Greek tragedy comparison makes sense though, Darren is literally struggling against Des Tiny, even if he doesn’t know it)

And then, Mr Crepsley is dead, and Darren (post depression) and Harkat go on holiday to the nuclear dragon desert to gather panther teeth, gelatinous toad globes and Grotesque venom so they can go fishing for souls! It’s very reasonable that the war is drawing to a close so we need a break before the final battle but those toad spheres came of left field.

And then we hear the cirque du freak is returning to Darren’s hometown!! Love it when heroes return after most of their journey and discover they’ve changed too much to go back! But especially Darren, who cannot talk to anyone or even look around too much. He died. I LOVE IT I LOVE THESE BOOKS SO MUCH BUT I AM TEARING AND CRAWLING OUT OF MY SKIN THEY HURT SO BAD I JUST WANT MY BOYS TO BE HAPPY AND SAFE AGAIN)

(Boys includes: Darren, Harkat, Mr Crepsley. Vancha, Alice and Debbie. Not Steve Leopard. Fuck Steve Leopard. All my homies hate Steve Leopard)

And another thing: now I know about actual science - ‘vampire atoms are wobbly so they don’t show up on cameras’ - that is some of the most shallow pseudo scientific bullshit I’ve seen outside of JoJo’s. I love it. It’s so silly and makes no sense.

Snow, Glass, Apples has magic, smut, nudity and death. It tells the story from the evil queens perspective as a beautiful retelling.

Apple White getting the role of the evil queen in Snow, Glass, Apples. While Raven Queen gets to be a vampire Snow White who gets her happily ever after with her prince. The prince being Daring Charming. A random legacy year teenager as the good king who dies because Raven feeds off of him as food.

With how the story book of legends is it’s going to keep itself shut until legacy day to show their destiny, and then they have to go through with it. Why is this happening? It’s because of Ravens doormat vampire genes decided to make itself appear as a dominant trait for this generation and it’s been awhile since ‘Snow, Glass, Apples’ has been told.

This would go well with the bio dad Steve Leonard where she's a vampaneze, but I'd say Raven is a vampire from her mother, or perhaps Mira cheated on James Good/King with a vampire and rsince she has magic it lets Mira be pregnant an appropriate amount and Raven looks human, but her aging slows down at 21 years old.

I checked out the plot of the story and it's so interesting and unique. but it'll be odd to see how it plays.

It could be maybe Apple marries a distant cousin of Mira's from her father's side who was a Good King making them Raven's cousin and then in the tale Raven is in their kingdom as a Lady-in-Waiting for Apple and slowly thats when the tale begins idk tbh
