why didn’t you like british dimitri :(

I can't lie, he's simply not sexy enough. This is the man that had these hoes framing each other for murder for the CHANCE to be with him. You cannot convince me that British boy could inspire such nonsense.

On a more serious note...

My issue with British! Dimitri really just speaks to my larger issue with how the show, and others like it, chose to adapt the source material. I literally HATE when one of my favorite book series is adapted and it is done in a way that the VA show did. It's this thing that a lot of YA adaptations do where they take the basics of a series like the setting, characters, and usually the overarching premise of the first book and use it to create it's own show. It's what Pretty Little Liars, Vampire Diaries, and Shadowhunters did. They take the series and gut it for parts to make a broadly marketable series that they can push for as many seasons as possible. An "adaptation" that you can identify as the book series, but also tells a completely different story. This isn't me saying these shows are bad television shows. I am saying they are bad adaptations. Of the previously mentioned shows I was only able to get through Vampire Diaries and most of Pretty Little Liars, and that was because I didn't read the books before I watched it. I wasn't met with the soul crushing devastation I was met with when I watched Shadowhunters and realized it was not actually going to adapt the book. (It's why, even though it's a literal dumpster fire, I prefer the movie because it at least tried to follow the books) Some people don't mind this, and that's totally okay, but I hate it so much. I feel like these adaptations take away so much from the story they are adapting, and make it worse. Obviously they could make it work having Dimitri be British, but it also just alters so much about how he is characterized. He wasn't Russian in the way that Lissa and Adrian are. It wasn't just used to give him a cool name, or to make sense in the overall world building. Richelle made Dimitri being Russian a significant aspect of his character. It influences his plotlines and is a major factor in why he behaves the way he does. The changes made to show Dimitri fundamentally change who he is in the world of the series. Him being a foot taller than Rose isn't to make a cute height difference, it is to signify just how massive he is compared to the other Dhampirs. The boys refer to him as a god, and that's not just because he was a good warrior. If that were the case they'd say the same thing about Janine, and they don't. Dimitri's entire being makes him a force to the dhampirs. He is other worldly to them. The show made him plain, average. That is my issue with British Dimitri.

Since a subjugate isn’t really a vampire can they still have biological children?

Neighborhood Vampire x Seiai: Himiko went to Seiai because it was unlikely that Midoriya would also be there, and she needs time before she can handle that.

Here comes Kumiko with a steel chair the power of love and understanding.

Himiko: "Izuku would never come to an all-girls school!" Kumiko: "Allow me to introduce myself." Himiko: *doki doki intensifies*

🎃 🦇 trick or treat! 🧛‍♂️🦇

You've completely rotted my brain with vampirism and I'm having another vampire phase now because of you bestie...

So.... what are your favourite vampires and or vampire books, films, shows etc.?!

Any spooky inspirations for your amazing Tyrone vampire au?

I LOVE YOU! HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Whew, this is a semi long one! Happy Halloween, im sorry I'm late, but I had to think! My recall is ass 💀🤣

Oof, im all over the place. But I'll have to credit Sherrilyn Kenyon on getting me into the sexual side of vamps. The Dark Hunter series remains one of my faves, I've read almost up to ...book 32? Book 33? I lost count. But the author started going through issues with her ex who was coming after her books so she started publishing the same story from different perspectives and i zoned out. Might be time to zone back in 🤔

Of course, have to credit the GOATS - Vampire in Brooklyn and Queen of the Damned. Im now obsessed with the idea of smashing the two together and fuck it, might be my second vamp novel. I'll see what shakes loose 💁🏽‍♀️

First off, Black vamps? Yassss. Black vamps in a position of power that was not "earned" after centures of racism or struggle or Black trauma porn? Double yasss 🙌🏽😩 (I haven't read the Anne Rice books so I could be wrong about my queen but ehh, no one pays me to be right 🤣)

Vamp Tyrone takes some inspo from this. The way the teeth are, the complete devotion to one person and one person only 🤌🏽 the whiff of toxicity 🤣 idk, something about the push and pull between Max and Rita still fn eats 😩🙌🏽 corruption kink for the win 🙌🏽😩 also Dracula fits here too, with Gary Oldman but Ill also take the Luke Evans version 🥵

Can we collectively say fuck Julie Plec? All that aside, this was my shoooowww. This and Originals. The Mikkaelson family 🥵🥵🥵 while I don't bring up the concept of doppelgangers in Vamp Tyrone, I am obsessed with twins, doubles, clones, etc. And obvs that fit with Tyrone.

And lastly, ik ik. Listen, everyone needs trash in their faves and I was, am, and still will be obsessed with this trash ass series. I mean, we can collectively say fuck Stephanie Meyers weird ass, but I love this series and I don't have to defend it 😌

Again, obsessed with the thought of a vamp waiting for their forever partner, the inherent romanticism of vampirism, and the flirt with disaster and death and melancholy that always speaks to me. You can probably guess that Edgar Allen Poe is a fave of mines too 🤣 certified emo over here 😌😌

Theres a lot of things that went into my version of vamps. They can't go out into sunlight, they need blood to survive, they can tolerate normal food but it does nothing for them, they have some decorum now because of technology but Black vamps are on top.

I really dislike going to hunt for a vampire story only to find that white people are vamps and Black people are vampire hunters. Who decided that? Why is it always like that? Why can't I live my best Black vamp life 😩😩😩

And special shoutout to Vampire Academy as well. Is it cheesy? Sure. Am I obsessed? Yes. I'm behind finishing the series chuz the author pissed me tf off in book 3 🤣🤣🤣 she's on a timeout.

Thanks for asking beautiful 😍

What's your top 10 Sadrien moments?

OH GOD TOP 10?? Alright bet!

1) The iconic 'my God Sage, your eyes' NO BRAINER

2) When Adrian stands up for Sydney when everyone keeps pestering her about her blood. The way he defends people and stands up to others is just not appreciated enough.

3) THEIR FIRST KISS ARBRASRSTBSRBR always has me kicking my legs and giggling bro UGH

4) When Adrian rescues Sydney from re-education and Sydney is like 'are you in a suit? 🥹' and Adrian was all like 'I'll make the witty lines here, Sage'.

5) When Sydney threatened to kill someone for Adrian HELLO?!?!

6) "Will you do this deadbeat Moroi the honor of marrying him?" 🥹😭

7) Not really a Sydrian moment but when Adrian holds Declan for the first time and starts crying and reads his aura and chokes up its just so sad and precious and I really think he was meant to be a father tbfh

8) Adrian always finding cute nicknames for Sydney LOL

9) omg THEIR DANCE AT SONYA AND MIKHAILS WEDDING (and Adrian photo bombing someone's photo honestly iconic).

10) Last but not least, Adrian calling out Sydneys eating disorder. As rude as it may have seemed, u think it was the wake up call she needed and Adrian genuinely helped her take a step back and look at it all just like she did with him.

Bonus:

11) When Adrian's scared of losing Sydney and she starts crying over him and he's like 'I never thought I was worth anyone's tears' and he finally went to get on meds 😭

I had a couple questions about the Academy, if it's alright to ask more than one in the same ask.

Firstly, with Vampires, how does the Academy ensure they have enough blood on hand for them? Is it donated via blood bags?

Secondly, is there a dress code at the Academy, or will the MC and each RO be wearing an outfit that's representitive of the House/Coven they belong to?

Aurelian Academy has quite a bit of funding— partially from the families that have children attending, from House Aurelia, and from various other pursuits. Clarissa, along with a few other staff members, take stock of how many vampires will be attending Aurelian in the coming year and have enough supplies allocated accordingly. There are also vendors that come to Aurelian and sell various goods; like blood lollipops, blood infused tea, and various other things. So a vampire wouldn’t have any worry of running out (and if it ever truly got dire, which would mean even bigger problems than simply running out of blood if Aurelian got to that state, there’s always Avalon too).

There isn’t a dress code exactly— students are just expected to be dressed appropriately when it comes to a learning establishment as a whole. There are specific jackets that some classes will have you wear to distinguish you from the other (like charmer classes have silk jackets), and only heirs get a specialized jacket that distinguishes them from other people. Though that’s typically only when an event, such as the one that’s happening this year, occurs where knowing someone’s social standing needs to be apparent.

fandom of your choice!

i’ve got two for two different fandoms lol

Vampire Academy - canon-compliant, post-Bloodlines, pre-epilogue

The day Dimitri had planned to propose to Rose was also the first day he ever requested off from Christian. He took it, too, and not because they were celebrating their engagement all day long as he’d planned. Before he could get down on one knee, Rose stopped him, insisting that she was too young to get engaged.

Which is how Dimitri found himself in the company of the Russian barman at the 24/7 Court bar in the middle of the day, wondering how the girl who’d saved his soul wasn’t ready to commit to him. For another thing, as his hangover crept up on him, he was now dreading a return to the nocturnal schedule after his blissful, drunken reprieve. And things got worse when, at seven in the evening, who walked in but the poster boy for a perfect married home life?

Adrian Ivashkov had stopped by his old stomping grounds in search of some liquid courage before the first meeting with his father since announcing his marriage to Sydney. He felt the circumstances warranted a drink, and, living on a human daylight schedule, the hour was acceptable, even. He did not expect to see the man whose picture could be found beside the dictionary definition of self-control in a blubbering, Russian puddle at the end of the bar.

Could an evening drink with his former rival for Rose’s affections be exactly what Dimitri and Adrian needed to get their heads on straight?

The Hunger Games - modern au

The night Glimmer breaks up with Peeta is also the first night he’s ever taken his best friend Finnick up on his offer to go clubbing. If he’s honest, the love hadn’t been there for a long time. But there was something about his high school sweetheart (perhaps his mother’s approval?) that felt safe, habitual, and he hadn’t been prepared to let that go.

Now, faced with no reason to stay in control, he decides to go out with Finnick. He’s hoping maybe, just maybe, the alcohol will give him the courage he needs to make a move on his best friend, who he’s harbored a crush on since the minute they met. But when he spots Finnick in the VIP section locking lips with a beautiful redhead, he takes the shot that makes the world go dark.

The next morning, Peeta wakes up on a sticky floor under a couch to someone prodding him with a broomstick. After bumping his head, he looks up into the most beautiful grey eyes he’s ever seen. As he follows the scowling, striking woman to the bar for a pick-me-up, he can’t help but wonder…had all the heartbreak been worth it?

[mylifeisjustafeverdream]

do you think rose dismantling the system would have been a better ending? that’s quite complicated to write and keep at a YA level…

Yes, Rose dismantling the Dhampir system, or at the very least seeing a singular concrete change in the system, absolutely would have been a better ending for Vampire Academy than the half baked, out of no were murder mystery that we got in The Last Sacrifice. As much as I love VA the end was so, so disappointing to me. It felt rushed. Hell I remember going What the fuck even was the "last sacrifice"? Nothing was lost. Frankly, besides Lissa being queen and the bond being broken, everything was pretty much exactly the same as the start of the story. It honestly felt like Richelle had given up on the story she had been building.

From the very first book we establish just how poorly the Dhampirs are treated by the Moroi. The Moroi literally only believe they should exist as assets to them, and the Dhampirs are so desperate to not die off they buy into this narrative. Think about how easily Viktor exploited Rose, a child he'd known her entire life, as a means to an end. Despite the Moroi being fully capable of protecting themselves with their MAGICAL POWERS, Tasha and Christian are considered freaks for even suggesting it. Most Dhampirs are born from a Dhampir mother not a father. The Moroi women won't lower themselves by having a Dhampir baby, but Moroi men will use the Dhampir women as a sexual outlet. The Moroi don't respect the Dhampir. Hell even Rose and Lissa's relationship highlights just how unfair this dynamic is. Rose lived her life for Lissa. She was her protector, her confidant, her food source. Shit Rose even took the insanity from Lissa. What did she get in return from Lissa? (Yes I know Lissa resurrected Rose this is just to highlight the grander Moroi issue) The series spent 5 books highlighting the injustices Dhampirs face. How they die young, how their women are systematically abused, and the lack of freedom to do what they want in life without shame. This isn't subtext these are active conversations, and arch's through the story. Then they have the age law passed, and you see how, universally, Dhampirs are against it. I honestly thought when Rose was framed for Tatianna's murder it was going to be a catalyst for the Dhampirs to start acting out, to push back against this system. Yet the Dhampirs are sidelined to focus on the family laws for Royal Moroi????? It was truly ridiculous. We don't even see change in Bloodlines, just small references that focus on the Moroi council. Rose was exploited by the Moroi in literally every single way imaginable, and the books were building to her realizing the problem with it. Yet, it's all ignored for her to focus all her energy on making sure Lissa was elected queen. (Yea, she was spurred on by trying to stop the age law, but it really came back to the fact Rose viewed Lissa like a deity) The story set up a revolutionary change for the Dhampirs, but it was cut because Richelle couldn't commit to acknowledging how all Moroi, especially Lissa, were flawed when it came to the Dhampirs.

Also onto your second point, that it would be too complicated for a YA novel. Richelle didn't shy away from other really heavy, complicated topics. Bloodlines is literally focused on indoctrination, and cult deconstruction. The latter half of Blood Promise is an allegory for intimate partner abuse. Also remember that The Hunger Games are YA novels. Avatar the Last Airbender is a children's show. Media being for a younger audience does not mean it cannot cover and deal with complex, and dark topics.

Thank you lots for this question! It was fun to respond to - Missy :)

I had never considered autistic Sydney Sage but your so right

YES! she was sooo autistic coded when i read bloodlines!! her difficulties with understanding social cues and flirting ... her specific interest in greek/roman architecture and cars... how she clings to facts and data, especially when she's freaking out... how she comes off as cold and detached...

god i need to create a more in-depth post and convince others to join this headcanon i'm so happy you agree!
