“I’ll tell you something. Being a vampire ain’t no way to live, and being eaten by a vampire ain’t no way to die. Take it from Sally Two-Shoes, kid. I’ve done both.“

independent, semi-selective single-muse oc inspired by salvatore the vampire from the series bonesaw vic’s cryptozoological gardens

an exploration of revenge, trauma, and reclaiming a destiny that has been ripped away from you. that, and a hot vampire who refuses to go to therapy.

mun and muse are both 21+

interact with this post and i'll check you out!

really i think one of my favorite character dynamics is “i don’t actually like you but we’ve been through so much together that i’d trust you with my life and know that we will always back each others calls. but i still wouldn’t trust you with my car keys.” like “we aren’t really friends but we’ve been thrust into an intense situation where you are the only other person i know so now we’re besties.” and “if it weren’t for our years of history i would have literally nothing to talk to you about at this work dinner.” Enemies to lovers has NOTHING on general disinterest to begrudging acknowledgment to discovering that this person is now an inextricable part of your life

what do you label your muse as, and how do they label themselves? is there a difference, and if so, why?

//thank you for asking this one, because this is one i actually was kinda hoping to talk about, haha!

so, i label salvatore as a polyamorous greyromantic bisexual trans man (i did originally list him as pan, but i think bi vibes a bit more with him specifically as a label, but honestly i'm not really gonna get into all of that right now because to me personally the minutiae doesn't matter too much. point is, he's attracted to all genders.)

sal labels himself, however, as nothing. he doesn't use any labels for himself for the most part, and in fact he barely understands what any queer labels actually mean. i think he'd call himself queer eventually after he comes to accept himself a lot more down the line, and he may even finally actually consider himself transsexual, but until then if you ask him he'll probably say, "what are you, a cop?"

and this is a bit twofold for salvatore in my intentions. for one thing, i love writing a queer character who doesn't know *shit*. i was joking with a friend recently that there's a good chance that salvatore, at least for a time, thought he was the first and only trans man to exist. that's how much he doesn't know shit. like characters who know themselves super well are all fine and dandy, but i think it's interesting to have a character who doesn't know how to put words to his experiences.

and my other thought is that salvatore gets to be the reflection of the part of me that's kinda tired of trying to label every part of my queer experience. to be clear, there is *nothing* wrong with having a lot of labels or microlabels or anything like that. at the end of the day, if the label serves you and your experiences, that's what matters.

but like........ i'm kinda tired, y'all. part of me likes to joke about being a label hoarder and that's fun, but i'm also like. i just kinda wanna be Just Some Guy. my gender is both complicated and simple and so is my orientation, and sal can be like that too. for me personally, it's not really that useful to stress about finding the perfect labels to define me. i'm just a guy! i'm here, i'm queer, and i'm just a guy.

guess what i'm trying to say is. oh he's just like me fr.

sexuality & gender diversity headcanons.   here’s one for the lgbtq+ muses: put a number in my ask, and i’ll tell you about my muse’s gender or orientational identity and their relationship with it. tw: topics of homophobia, transphobia, dysphoria and discussion of internalised oppresive attitudes in some of the questions. if you want to help your followers to pick out questions a bit, tag this post with your muse’s label(s) as you reblog!

what do you label your muse as, and how do they label themselves? is there a difference, and if so, why?

has your muse’s understanding of their own identity changed after realising they aren’t cishet, and do you see it developing further in the future?

when did your muse first realise they’re attracted to the gender(s) that they are?

when did your muse first realise they’re not attracted to the gender(s) that they aren’t?

when did your muse first become aware that they’re not cis?

when did your muse first become aware that their gender identity isn’t within the binary?

how public is your muse about their gender / sexuality / romantic attraction?

is your muse out as lgbtq+? how specifically and in what situations, if that varies.

how much does your muse’s gender identity and presentation differ from one another? is this a source of issues, or does the relationship between the two feel natural?

how does your muse feel about not being cis or straight? are they content with it, proud, ashamed? would the situation be the same if the culture or surrounding support systems were different?

have there been other meaningful people of the same or similar identities in your muse’s life that they’ve looked for support or understanding from? how did that go, and was the impact positive or negative in the end?

what are your muse’s feelings towards stereotypes relating to their identity? do they affect their self-image, or how they perceive others?

was your muse ever in denial about the matter? do you have any examples of specific instances where it was particularly obvious?

has your muse had feelings or experiences that seem to / do conflict with their identity? are these general knowledge? does it alter how others see them, or how they see themselves?

if the thing that originally caused them to realise / start the chain reaction to realising they weren’t cishet had not happened, how much longer would it had take to end up here?

do they consider to ‘always have been’, or do they see the phases in their life before coming out as ‘back when i was [cis/straight/allo]’?

how are their feelings towards pride and related phenomenons?

how does their family feel about the matter? friends? coworkers?—and does their thoughts matter to your muse?

what’s your muse’s relationship with the current state of their body?

what are your muse’s feelings towards the culture of romance and sexuality as it pertains to their identity?

what words do they reclaim, what are they okay with being reclaimed, and what do they do not want to used to describe them?

Send 💔 and I’ll describe my muse’s mental scars as if they were physical.

//it's so endearing to me that salvatore types like a boomer. i need to do more research to portray that properly but idk i think it's really cute. he uses quotation marks for emphasis, he uses a lot of ellipses, he always capitalizes acronyms on the rare occasions he uses them, he gives his emoticons noses on the rare occasions he uses them (ex: :-) )

it's just cute to me

//I FORGOT TO SHARE THIS ONE TOO. anyway @rejectshumanity <3

[troublewithvampires-a]

i LOVE asshole characters who are protective and fiercely love and look after their people and almost always fail at conveying their affection but sometimes. SOMETIMES!! they succeed. and it’s the most important thing that has ever happened

[troublewithvampires-a]

In my inbox, write a confession your muse want to tell my muse. The catch, my muse will forget what your muse said unless they say in the end “Remember it.”

Get something off your chest. It can be love, hate, revealing a secret, telling them a wish, dream, anything. Blow off some steam!

when everything is stripped away, what is at your core

uquiz link: [link]

acerbic wit.

you're a mentor — an old scarred wolf, an injured soldier, a disgraced paladin. your teachings read as shamelessly pretentious, speaking in rhymes and biting down hard into anyone stupid enough to make the wrong move. this isn't your first life, nor your second, nor your sixth — you'll make the most of your time shackled to this world, no matter how many loops it takes to get it right. with every defeat, you reincarnate; a little smarter, a little quicker, crueler and nastier. will you choose to be brutal, equalizing, that final strike in the face of your enemies? will you go soft, become tender and domesticated? the choice is yours. it's not like i can stop you.

the rpc as a whole needs to start being better about just leaving spaces that don't spark joy. there are some very obvious situations where constructive criticism and dialogue can lead to a better experience for everyone overall, but more often than not it's simply just a matter of a roleplayer not getting what they want or expected from a group. and in those cases people should just .... leave ? there's no need for them to find some thing to latch onto to deem a group or roleplayer "problematic"

//salvatore accidentally becoming a relatively known social media personality because everyone thinks his trauma-dumping is just elaborate shitposting. he's like one of those bit accounts on twitter except it's not a bit. he's actually an angry depressed vampire who kills people. but everyone sees his tweets and goes "god he's just like me fr tho"

//happy aromantic day!! to celebrate, some thoughts about salvatore and his aromanticism.

so, to start, i don't think sal cares enough to find a specific label underneath the aro spectrum to describe his very specific experiences. he personally doesn't find it useful to worry about having a very specific term for himself, and honestly it might even be a bit of a stretch for him to fully call himself aromantic. functionally, i imagine he's demiromantic, but i don't think he cares to define himself further.

salvatore does experience romantic attraction, but it's *rare* and so nebulous to him that he struggles to identify it on the rare instances he feels it. most of the time, he doesn't go to the trouble of doing so.

and in terms of how he *feels* about romance, that's also complicated! salvatore definitely wants some level of long-term companionship, but i think he likes the *idea* of romance much more than he likes the reality. this isn't to say that he's entirely romance-repulsed, but that romantic relationships are sometimes hard for him. this is due in part to how his previous attempts turned out (especially bruno), but also just. yeah, salvatore isn't usually the type to seek out a romantic relationship. if it happens, great! if not, alright.

all of this is extra complicated due to his attachment issues in general after his isolation. salvatore is... a hot fucking mess.
