#walpurg the wicked

[multifandomplushie]

For the fandom questions, School for Vampires ! Tell us more about William and Walpurg ♡

So, outside of my headcanons I've already shared with you in our messages, that being:

William is still alive and the situation with Walpurg attacking him was a misunderstanding on the school staff's part

William wrote love poetry to Walpurg

My headcanons are also:

William read his writings to Walpurg before giving it to anyone else

Walpurg comforted William when he had writting blocks

William often felt like apologizing to other vampires on Walpurg's part when Walpurg got them upset

William strives to retrieve blood in peaceful ways, so Walpurg tried to avoid feeding on human blood when they spent time together (but he was defenetly draining the victims of blood brutaly when he was alone and William was aware of it)

William missed and kept having feelings for Walpurg despite the latter going off the rails and becoming an outlaw

William reunites with Walpurg after the latter's rehabilitation in Rosering, Johnnie and Florian's home

William attended the shool in the castle too and, in school years, William and Walpurg went on at least one double date with Johnnie and Florian (btw, I think William was one of the supporters of Johnnie and Florian's relationship, with the whole William Shakespeare reference, the guy would dig their Romeo and Juliet type of situation)

Wanted to make a contribution and add another character I found who fits the Vrykolakas - Black Fang:

Greenish skin - check.

Lower canines sticking out - check.

Also, being a feared red-eyed pirate, he fits well into the eye color power hierarchy you layed out in another post.

Oh, and wanted to make a little spelling correction: it's Walpurg, not Valpur.

His name is said distinctly in German and English and, just like a number of other names in the show, is a reference (in this case, to Walpurgis Night).

The title of his episode was even changed in English from "Gemeingefährlich" (which could be translated as "dangerous" or "public danger") to what he's called in the episode itself - "Walpurg the Wicked".

Just wanted to point that out for the sake of tags. Before I came across your blog I couldn't find anything about this character, because nothing would come up for "Die Schule der kleinen Vampire Walpurg" or "School for Vampires Walpurg".

And since I started talking about Walpurg, I wanted to ask your opinion.

As you accurately pointed out, his lower canines are the ones that stick out. However, there was one scene where it's his upper canines that are seen, and one where none stick out.

Do you think it can bit dismissed as an error or maybe it can have some in-univerese explaination?

Also, regarding Count Frakula, he actually does have teeth. They just don't stick out when his mouth is closed.

Interestingly enough though, it's his upper canines. Which combined with the pale shade of his skin, gave me an idea that he might be a hybrid of Upyr and Vrykolakas.

When I was a teen I had established (and named after mythological kinds if vampires) 4 races withing the vampire species in School for Vampires. Some vampires had special physical characteristics making them different from others

The first I called "Upyr" (because "upyr" does sound similar to "vampire" in most languages and was one of its etymologies) is the most wide spread species we saw in the show. Lady Kryptina, Alarich, Oskar, Gothetta, Stoker, Klot, Ashley, Klot's father, Batoria, Nofre, Ravena, the vampire hunter's hunter, Maxine, Buck, etc etc most characters are so I am just showing one picture lol. They look like pale humans with pointy ears, deep/dark eyeshadow, claws, often but not always a flat bat-like nose and sharp canines

The 2nd I called "Nosferat" (look like Count Von Orlock from Nosferatu). They are the 2nd lost widespread, with Leechy, the postman, the Feratus and the Oxbloods (minus Ravena who must have Upyr blood since she looks like one ; also this proves the races can reproduce with each other and must look like just one parent's race, with how Orlock Feratu and Alarich are cousins but look so different). They look similar to Upyrs but "uglier", with more crooked, pointy and rougher traits, males tend to bald more easily and it's not their canines that are sharp but their upper incisives

The 3rd I called "Vrykolakas" (because vrykolakas are the Balkans equivalent of zombies and these vampires have green skin so something green coming out of a coffin could remind of one). They are very few, Valpur is definetely one but in my memories so was Frakula but now that I watched again he looks white, pale or greenish depending of the light so I'm unsure. But supposing he is one and looks pale because he is weak after centuries without drinking inside a coffin, they are green(ish) with sharp canines like Upyrs but unlike them when their mouths it's not the upper canines that stick out but the lower (not counting Frakula who has no tooth sticking out but it's because he is old with barely enough teeth legt and other very old vampires with no much teeth left are drawn that way). Also unsure if this is a common trait but these 2 have a long pointy nose, so perhaps ?

The 4th I called "Strigoi" (no reason other than they are said to have sharp fangs and not just sharp canines and also how strigois are said to be vampire sorcerers and Ironfang has a magical car that drives by itself) and must be the rarest since we only know one in the whole show, Dr Ironfang. It is hard to describe how they are since we only have him and no comparison, but we can determine they have blue skin (not counting his retconned season 1 design that was used once ; HC he was sick that day hence why he was white) and a mouth full of sharp fangs that somehow don't stick out of their mouth when it's closed

And I suppose one becomes the race of the vampire that vampirized them since Nestor became a "Upyr" after Alarich bit him same for Sunshine after Oskar bit her. I have no idea why Nestor's canines don't stick out of his mouth while Sunshine's did and why Sunshine changed hair color though (and personality but that I saw as a side effect of being bitten by a vampire child hence why vampire children are not allowed to vampirze). You mutate slightly ?

Inspired by the coversation I had a while ago with @ben-the-hyena about Walpurg: we thought he would look cool as a brownish redhead with a bit of grey and it would be pretty funny and cute if my OC, Rosering, made a braid out of his hair.

(Jumping forward in my SfV fanon timeline here a bit but I couldn’t help myself, this idea was too cute for me to resist drawing it as soon as possible)

A little meme based on my and @ben-the-hyena’s mutual headcanon that Frakula and Walpurg are father and son who don’t really get along and Walpurg tried to put his dad away to inherit the castle sooner.

[multifandomplushie]

Walpurg: I think I might have an interest in William. Although I doubt he’d feel the same way.

William: I would literally write a thousand sonnets for him. Carve his name in a blade made by only the most precious metals. Hell, I'll purchase a goddamn star for him. He can have what ever he wants, he already has my heart.

Young! Johnnie: I'm still trying to figure out why you're friends with me.

Young! Florian: Because you're sweet and funny.

Young! Johnnie: Well, Walpurg said I'm moody and quiet, so one of you is lying.

[multifandomplushie]

Young! Walpurg: What's my vibe?

Young! Johnnie: It's like, "I will learn everything so I know more things than you do"

[multifandomplushie]

Walpurg: What's this?

Rosering, hugging Walpurg: Affection!

Walpurg: Disgusting.

Walpurg: ...do it again.

[multifandomplushie]

Young! Walpurg: Please say words of encouragement to me so I don't murder Orlok right now.

Young! Florian: There are no books in prison.

Young! Walpurg: *sighs* Thank you.

[multifandomplushie]

Florian: i put a tracker in Walpurg's food so i can know where he is at all times

Johnnie: yes, so did i

Alarich: me too

Florian: do you think all that radiation is bad for him?

Johnnie: i'm sure he'll be fine

Alarich: he's lived a long life already

[multifandomplushie]

Johnnie: You know what? Underneath it all, you're actually quite nice.

Walpurg: Repeat that disgusting slander again, and you’ll be hearing from my lawyers.
