Some silly happenings :3 (monster AU by @cupofchemicalchatter and I…we have still yet to come up with a name for it OOPS)

[vind3miat0r]

can I get some uhhhh redacted headcanons of any flavor

i got u bro 🤝

— Aaron and Smartass actually met before as teenagers, before they both worked at Vesta. their families sat next to each other while waiting for a flight at the airport, and the two of them made small talk to pass the time

— theres a small section in Dahlia dedicated to just vampire businesses. its called "the night market" (since its obviously only open at night), and is a big source of local lore among the unempowered community

— Cutie loves Deltarune and once had Geordi + their friend group dress up as Deltarune characters for Halloween

�� when Stealth's powers manifest, they also either acquire a white streak in their hair, or their eye color changes to pink (sometimes both) (dont ask me where this came from i made it up to justify my Sweetheart oc having pink eyes)

— flyboi!Ivan and his Baby are engaged by now :3

— early in Milo and Sweetheart's relationship, Sweetheart was lowkey addicted to melatonin gummies. Milo managed to break the addiction by coming up with a "sleepy time" routine for them, and Sweetheart still uses it to this day

— the whole "vampires are pale" thing is a "genetic" thing that has a chance to be carried from maker to progeny. poc vampires get blue undertones instead of going pale

— Gavin has heart-shaped freckles and heart-shaped top scars <3

— Vincent has been a longtime fan of the band Cash Flagg, and was surprised and delighted to find out that Lovely was a fan too when they first started dating

— Lasko and Dear are Yaelokre's number 1 fans no cap

— Angel's favorite Star Trek spin-offs are Voyager, Deep Space 9, and Lower Decks (the Voyager one is canon to me since there have been multiple David audios where Voyager has been playing in the background)

— after the night at the fair, Treasure learned how to make funnel cake for Porter :3

Slut.

[artsying-ifer]

setting myself a fun challenge called obserMAYtion where i only do observational art for the entirety of may everyone please cheer and clap for meeee

anyway part of the reason i decided to do this (other than desperately needing to get back on that observational drawing grindset in general 💪💪💪) is that I've been very not happy lately with how I draw the buffyverse guys and wanna do more sketches to try n get more of a handle on the likenesses so. here's how it's going so far. i like some of em, i don't like others, i will not be elaborating on which is which. will be updating you all with my progress as the month goes on

also ftr commissions are still open this month they are the one exception I am making for myself from this challenge aside from zine bash if I also end up doing that lol. info is in my pinned post as usual

[useless-chan-draws]

Gavin, Tank ( not the final design, originally it was a warm-up sketch ), Lovely and Vincent

[penncilkid]

Alright, I'll bite. (Sparked by this post) I'm gonna preface this with some context: 

First off: I'm Black in case you're unaware

Huxley is my favorite speaker. Full stop. You ask me to choose, it’ll always be him. 

Likewise, you ask for my favorite listeners, I will say Starlight and Darlin'. (I'll save my Starlight rant for another day)

My designs for both Huxley and Darlin are Black.

With this in mind, I want to be clear from the jump: I don’t have an inherent problem with these headcanons. If I did, I wouldn’t have chosen then myself. That said, I have noticed that Hux and Darlin are, more often than not, the characters that get headcanoned as POC (specifically Black) in design rosters. In some cases, they are the only POC designs present. Why is that?

Furthermore, the more often I notice this pattern so to speak, the more I sit and think about why those headcanons are so popular. I find my answer when I think about the characters I see headcanoned as white most often. Tell me why it’s "practically canon" for Lasko to be pale with light/white hair. Tell me why white Sam "just makes sense". Why? Because Lasko's a nerdy ball of nerves that stumbles over his words? Because Sam’s a sweet Southern man at heart? Those are not inherently white attributes.

Except they're treated as such. They go virtually unchallenged because they're so widely accepted by fandom. People see these personalities and character details and come up with their vision. So, let's apply that to Huxley and Darlin, shall we?

Huxley: Athlete. Canonically implied to be big, as indicated by statements made by him and other members of the DAMN crew. Classified as a himbo with parallels in Imperium highlighting how some will view him as stupid. Overall chill vibe.

Darlin: Reckless with their safety. Known to lash out/lose control of their emotions when they’re not actively hiding them. Gets injured often because they’re too stubborn to run from trouble. An overall intense demeanor that makes them difficult to approach (at least at first). 

Explain to me why this screams Black to so many people. Is it because Huxley's a dumb jock who you imagine gets stoned all the time? Oh, is it perhaps because Darlin is just so aggressive compared to your Golden Retriever-coded Asher, needing to be calmed down by everyone around them? And here's the thing: I can already imagine people saying, "That's not why I made them Black". Then explain why it "just makes sense" for them to Black. Why them out of a sea of characters? Make it make sense.

Now let me make this clear as well: I'm not expecting every headcanon to have elaborate thought behind it. For one, I get that some people take a more casual approach with designs and such. Not every choice has to have a reason or justification behind it. But when literally 95% of the Huxley designs I see are Black and half of y'all don't even know what a fucking durag is? Saying it leaves a bad taste in my mouth is putting it lightly.

You know what I wish I saw more of? Black Huxleys and Darlins with attached nuance.

Give me a Black Darlin who struggles to articulate how they feel with the people in their lives because they haven't been readily given the language to do so. You want to pair a Black Darlin with a White Sam? Why not talk about how POC have an insanely difficult time getting support from the medical system so not only does it explain why Darlin is so resistant to go to healers, but also gives an extra weight to the fact that Sam was their absolute last resort when injured? Give me a Black Darlin who has been taught their entire life that no one will have their back, that they need to learn how to depend on themself alone, and that's the reason why they struggle to feel like the pack would've cared when the Quinn shit went on.

You wanna talk Black Huxleys? Let's touch on how he's learned to control his emotions/anger because he knows how people will take it if it comes from someone who looks like him. Talk about how his moms teaching him not to use violence speaks to a deeper desire for him not to be viewed as a threat because they fear for his life otherwise. In one of his BAs, he mentions how a lot of people used to sleep with him/flirt with him solely because of his body and he could tell. Do you know how often black men are sexualized and fetishized? Why not talk about it through him? I see people explore that concept through Gavin constantly, where's the energy for Huxley? You wanna make him Black so bad, why not actually put some thought behind it? Because right now, it seems like he gets the "luxury" of being the token Black guy in the DAMN friend group at best.

I know a lot of people are probably going to dismiss this post. I am already anticipating that as I write this. But I'm so tired of pretending like this shit doesn't get to me. Because it does. I've got no intentions of leaving this fandom because I have met so many amazing people and adore Erik's content immensely. But what I am going to do is talk about the widespread normalization of attributing certain personality traits to certain racial groups. Because the non-white people in this fandom deserve better than that.

Gavin: Are you sure you want to drink my blood? I'm on like four different meds.

Vamp!Nines: Please, back in the day I had to drink blood with radium in it, your antidepressants are nothing.

Concept is introduced in this post, where instead of being shot and permanently disabled escaping the Stormbecks in Book 3, Sam is mortally wounded and Turned by Gavin (who is a Vampire.) Continued in this post, where Isaac waits for Sam to emerge from their room to drink for the first time…

Isaac tried to get up before Gavin returned with Sam. With one hand still pressed to his throat, he leaned on the couch, trying to pus himself to his feet. Darkness flooded his vision. His stomach heaved, and his ears rang. He sank back against the couch, sweat prickling under his shirt. Blood seeped from the wounds under his hand. 

The pain was so familiar. The wounds were so, so familiar. The throbbing was worse, though, because of Sam’s inexperienced strike - and how Gavin had ripped Sam away from him before they could retract their fangs from his flesh. Something was torn, he thought. The skin was certainly slashed wider than under Gavin’s expert bites. 

He pressed his hand harder to the wound. Gavin wouldn’t be long, now. Still, Isaac’s head spun. He stretched himself flat on the floor. Blood soaked into his shirt, but he couldn’t bring himself to care. Being flat was better. He didn’t feel quite so… cold. He let his eyes fall shut. He drifted. 

A draft like death ghosted over Isaac. His eyes fluttered open. Gavin leaned over him, his eyes fixed on Isaac’s throat like a stalking animal. Isaac swallowed tightly and looked around for Sam. They stood in the corner, a glow on their cheeks - but it was not a glow from the coming sunrise. It was blood, Isaac’s and Gray’s, that was causing the effect. They stared at Isaac, guilt and shame creeping over their face. They didn’t come any closer. 

“I’m alright,” Isaac croaked, and tried again to get up. Gavin’s iron grip on his shoulder pushed him back down. 

“You’re not,” Gavin said, voice cast low. “They’ve torn open the last wounds I left.”

“I’m sorry,” Sam whimpered from their spot along the wall.

“It’s not your fault, Sam,” Isaac said, hand still clamped firmly on his own neck. “It’s not. You… you were just…”

“Thirsty,” Sam finished. “I was just thirsty.” Their eyes were so sad, so frightened. “I didn’t… I didn’t mean to.”

“I can get Finn,” Isaac said. Gavin’s hand remained on his shoulder. “Or. Or you can.” 

Gavin shook his head. “I can help, a little.” He reached up and touched behind the angle of his jaw, massaged there. His lips parted and Isaac saw the flash of Gavin’s fangs. As Gavin massaged, the tips began to glisten, beads of venom forming at the ends. The drips fell onto Gavin’s tongue, then more formed, then more. Finally, Gavin leaned forward, gently pulling Isaac’s hand away from his throat. He laved his tongue over the torn flesh, spreading the venom in a thin, oily layer. The bleeding slowed, stopped. Gavin still washed his tongue over Isaac’s neck, licking up the blood, now starting to clot, until the skin was clean. Gavin stayed with his nose in the crook of Isaac’s neck, taking in deep, steady breaths. 

“Gavin?” Isaac breathed, unmoving. Instinct held him fast. 

Gavin let out a heavy exhale. “Sorry.” He pulled away, eyes dark and crimson with thirst. 

Isaac watched him with wide eyes. “It’s… it’s okay.” He passed his fingers over the wounds Sam had made. The skin was still torn, but the bleeding had stopped. “I didn’t know your venom could… I mean…”

Gavin stared at the floor. “You didn’t notice you bled less when I used my venom?”

“No.” Isaac swallowed. The movement was painful. “I was always…” Always too blissed-out. 

Gavin nodded. “Well… yeah, it… yeah. It does that.” He glanced back at Sam. “You can come forward. You won’t hurt him.”

Sam stared at Isaac, looking like they were about to cry. He offered them a weak smile. They stepped forward. 

“I’ve… never felt anything like that before,” Sam rasped. “Isaac… I’m sorry. If I… try to do that again…”

“You will get thirsty again,” Isaac said. He used the couch to drag himself up to sitting and this time, his vision held. “It’s alright. And when that happens, you’ll drink.”

Sam’s throat bobbed. They hesitated, then nodded once. They walked forward on shaking legs until they finally sank to their knees in front of him. He reached out a hand to them. They took it. Their hand was cold. 

Gavin shifted, and then was on his feet in the time it took Isaac to blink. He went to the kitchen and returned with a cup full to the brim with water. “Here,” he said gently, passing it to Isaac. “Drink.” Isaac drank deeply. He was so thirsty, and a little hungry, too. He raised his eyes to the clock on the wall behind Gavin. It was still early, but dawn was coming.

“I-I need to check the drapes,” he said, reaching out to hand Gavin the cup again. “Make sure the house is safe. With the sun–”

“It’s been done, Isaac,” Gavin said, pushing the cup back. “I checked the night we brought Sam back. You need to rest. Drink.”

Isaac looked at Sam. They were staring behind him, at the thick drapes pulled shut in front of the large living room windows. It was as if their weakness to the sun was just now occurring to them. 

Isaac wet his lips. “But–”

Gavin’s eyes flashed. “Please don’t make me thrall you again, Isaac,” he said harshly.

With that, Isaac relented. He took another long gulp of water. Sam squeezed his hand. 

“So, no more going outside for me, huh?” they said weakly.

“Not during the day,” Gavin said. He lifted his head just as the first ray of light hit the drapes, illuminating the deep purple fabric and casting a dark tint over the room. “Not during the day.”
