FINALLY got it started - Gannen and Vancha’s backstory begins!

Trigger warning ahead: (non-explicit) animal slaughter in a farming context

Bloody hell that was an undertaking. Next update will be shorter, so hopefully I can get it out next week!

@roxys-version would it be ok to post this on the community too? I don’t think anything here is NSFW but just want to check first 😁

The count is a Vampaneze.

I’m not super fond of the way vampires turn pale no matter their skin tone so here’s a proposal:

Colder tones!!!

This was loosely based off livor mortis which is the bluish-purple discoloration of the skin of dead bodies. It’s a result of the gravitation of blood but fuck that vamps are purple now

Hello y’all, my old account locked me out and tumblr refuses to work with me. Anyways here’s a sketch of my oc Lyra, the hopeless romantic who has a crush on Gannen

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

@mikaverleth Please accept some further (very shittily rendered) concepts for this banger of an idea:

Ok guys this is me shooting my shot trying to get us some official CDF merch, help me manifest this

[sewingkits]

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

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

Chapters: 6/? Fandom: Cirque du Freak | The Saga of Darren Shan - Darren Shan Rating: Explicit Warnings: Graphic Depictions Of Violence, Rape/Non-Con Relationships: Gannen Harst/Original Character(s), Steve “Leopard” Leonard/Original Character(s), Gannen Harst/Steve "Leopard" Leonard Characters: Gannen Harst, Steve "Leopard" Leonard Additional Tags: Vampaneze (Cirque du Freak | The Saga of Darren Shan) Summary:

Yes, the newest chapter took me forever to write (I’m so sorry it won’t happen again). And yes, this chapter is pure smut. Enjoy! 

[virgil-is-a-cutie]

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

I’m actually so mad that you draw Steve hot I am trying so hard to hate him and I can’t when his boobs keep staring at my eyes

Listen, me and Takahiro Arai had the same thought, and that’s that we don’t believe O’Shaugnessy when he says Steve looks like shit.

Because he can’t be both a moron AND ugly, he had to have SOMETHING going for him when he both rallied up the vampaneze and convinced Annie to sleep with him as well as carry his child.

[mikaverleth]

Is this anything? Everyone feel free to join idk how this even works

[mystery-of-arkham-asylum]

Am reading again. Continuing where I left off with The Saga of Darren Shan.

I have a feeling Steve Leonard may be the Vampaneze Lord by what Lerten says in the first book. He has just turned up again in the 8th book and I am not ruling the possibility out just yet.

After rewatching the Darren Shan (Vampire's Assistant, 2009) movie, because what a fever dream it was, I can only say that – from an outsider's perspective, that is, I'm absolutely unfamiliar with the lore and the books – the ritual of Vampaneze blooding looks awfully like the Sabbat Vaulderie 🫢

[submissive-dumbass]

talk to me abt ur love of cirque du freak cause same it’s so good and didn’t get the praise it deserved

I honestly need to reread it as a Real Adult bc last time I was 19 and didn’t fully grasp a lot of the themes and politics of Darren Shan’s writing. But after reading The Thin Executioner and remembering the way the vampaneze weren’t just written off as mindless killers, I desperately want to read the series again.

Also the relationship between the main character and Steve is my absolute favorite example of friends-to-enemies bc god even tho Steve fucks up wt every turn, you can’t help but feel so bad for him bc ultimately he’s just a deeply hurt child who could’ve been a great person if he ever had any support other than his one friend
