#but he also wants to be a vampire so bad

[itsbaditsgood]

dude when guillermo gets turned he won’t be able to say his own last name anymore because it has religious meaning to it (operating on the theory that if vampires know that a word has religious meaning they’re burned by it, which would explain how nandor was able to say his name.)

#😭😭😭 #if this happens i will cry #he fought the vamps so hard to get them to know his full name #and it’s part of his identity #but he also wants to be a vampire so bad #wwdits #wwdits s4 spoilers #guillermo de la cruz

Thinking about Very Scary Miles Edgeworth who is a Vampire and all the kids at school (and later everyone in court) is TERRIFIED of him because ‘he’ll suck your blood!’

And then after the class Trial Phoenix and Larry go to eat lunch with him. Phoenix is trying very hard to be brave as Miles opens up his lunch box. Larry is shaking behind him. Is he going to pull out a blood bag??? A blood juice box? A LIVE ANIMAL TO SUCK DRY????

He pulls out a banana. Just goes to town on it. Cheeks puffed out because he just shoved the whole thing in at once. Chewing very seriously but with eyes closed because he loves it so much.

Turns out he’s a part of the fruit bat line of vampires. He had no idea his classmates were scared of him.  Makes soft little chuffing sounds when he has a Really good piece of fruit.

Phoenix is ten and isn’t totally sure but he thinks he’s in love. He starts asking his mom to pack him fruit to share with Miles.

#vampire miles #but he's a fruit bad vamp #miles edgeworth #wrightworth #look that idea is just so cute i can't handle it #manfred (genuine vampire bat) tells him never to eat in public for the image(tm) #i think vampire bats are actually smaller than most fruit bats so i think that's also very fun #Giant Miles bat and Manfred (small) and Franziska (tiny) #Phoenix during rfta: You want a banana? You look like you need a banana #Miles: I DONT NEED A BANANA #Phoenix: Eat the banana #Miles eating the banana and his ears wiggling: ... this did not fix my problems #Phoenix: But you do feel better right #Miles: Shut up

Positioning Louis as the "Edwardian wife who becomes trapped by her husband" in a literal sense does no justice to analyzing his actual place and role as a Black man in his society and in his relationship with Lestat. Any interpretation or analysis you do of him when it comes to their relationship cannot be stripped of the racial aspect because it's constantly there. Texts analyzing Edwardian wives (and particularly ones this fandom loves to bring up) typically were white and the dissection of their place in societal rules are always viewed from the aspect of gender that is within these texts only allowed to white women, but never to Black men or even Black women. And gender and race become inseparable when you discuss the latter, no matter how people may view it.

This is why I can't take this approach to analyzing Louis' story seriously because if you don't consider the racial aspect in his relationship even to himself and his sexuality, what's the point? You're still centering the standards that were more placed upon white male/female couples than you're willing to look into the unique structure of Black families, religion, their view of homosexuality and how that sooner heavily influences Louis than the family's "need" for him to be sold off to an Edwardian husband. Even in Louis' own story, him and Claudia being Black is more centered on than any demeaning "housewife" comment he tries to go against from Claudia's perspective. She makes that comment once, whereas we have at least two episodes from Louis' perspective that have very blatant hints and showings of the racism he still suffers from under the Jim Crow era and how it affects his self-worth as well as his relationship with Lestat who doesn't seem to take into consideration how any of the blatant racial aggressions and objections still affect Louis and what he considers to be important to achieve in his own life.

Then there's also the pointed topic of Louis' position as a Black man who is a pimp to the Black women he has as sex workers, as well as how his position as a Black father affects Claudia, another Black girl. If you insist on Louis being centered as this "Edwardian white wife" who is confined by his implicit gender in his marriage, where does that leave Claudia and the blatant misogyny and disrespect she gets from both him and Lestat? Lestat who is her white father abuses her. Positioning Louis within the strict confines of "being her mother" doesn't do her any favors because he didn't hesitate to choke her when he was deeply emotionally distressed, nor does it make him look any better when he's fine with chopping up her diaries and then delivering them on a silver platter so that Daniel, another white man, can read and dissect. Even if he does this under the sole pretense of "doing right by her", how does it in any way help when he also can't face up to his failures towards her?

#interview with the vampire #claudia #louis de pointe du lac #i just feel like all these needless 'Lestat is the patriarchy' discussions; even when done in order to shield Louis #do him and Claudia no favors because y'all keep centering these weird strictly white standards in your interpretations #'Louis is an Edwardian wife' Louis is a Black man who was turned in 1910s Louisiana #the structural confines Edwardian wives were given really aren't the same when you take into consideration the racial segregation #of Louis' time; and I feel like the specific issues that Black men then faced when it came to 'proving' their worth when it comes to gender #are then just sidelined and forgotten as if those aren't the standards Louis grew up with #if you want to discuss Louis' placement in his relationship with Lestat it's kind of really heavy-handed even on the show #that he's a black man and that that heavily affects him foremostly in this relationship #also I'm so confused over this insane idea that Lestat is somehow the patriarchy while Louis is a woman and y'all say this unprompted #without considering how it looks when you call a gay black man a woman and a white bisexual man a guy #i feel like you can evade bad stereotypes of painting black men as overaggressive without veering off into the whole other side #while still sounding vaguely backhanded #and it doesn't make it any less weird when I see other non-black/white fans insist on this interpretation #it just comes off as y'all sooner being able to connect to Louis if you see him in a role typically embodied by white women #than to refer to the actual identity he has as a black gay man

i dont. have an excuse for this actually

#sketch #ocs #oc:drogmeydok #i cannot main tag this i think it would kill me. anyways hes kinda desperate for your character its sorta pathetic #like you want me so bad and im just here to kill some rando whos bothering me i couldnt care less abt you #also in oc canon sugar is dealing with the vampire quest at the moment. neither her or dmd is having fun

i've been dead and gone bc of school and jobsearching and everything happening all at once but ive been playing the boktai series games lately and i'm enjoying it a lot. I just got past the third boss in boktai 2. I don't know why but i'm enthralled with these games, i highly recommend them

#WOE TEN THOUSAND TAG MUSINGS BE UPON YE (this is a warning) #boktai #(pointing) the battle network fan has fallen for the crossover marketing 20 years late #the first gif is bc i imagine the bosses waiting all polite like for django to finish eating healing items when heal scumming in fights. #twenty apples a day keeps the damage away #django is like a son to me hes just a little guy #if the text is hard to read in the third image it says “The tick damage in sunlight brothers” #i find it funny that vampire django still gains his energy from sunlight after turning. his voiceline changes too #it's hard to tell if it's bc hes supposed to sound gruff or like hes in pain. but it makes me feel bad for recharging energy like that #i figure he'd be wound up abt this since it seems he views any connection to his father with a lot of weight #(e.x: zazie pointing out he's crying just after the gun del sol got stolen at the start of 2) #hence why he's depressed in that image #also all the official art of him looks very cool but im incapable of seeing him like that his sprite makes him look like a scruffy dog #im torn between thinking it's cute nd wanting to make fun of him with doodles. least typical vampire appearance with the most typical power #the way you kill immortals (vampires) in this game is so metal i need to rant abt it Somewhere #so like boktai is a game series abt vampire hunting but it's rather sci-fi abt it. instead of more typical weapons you use solar energy #the immortals resurrect after being killed #but this can be prevented via purification. the way this goes is #after winning a bossfight the enemy will get sealed in a coffin. that you then to drag allll the way back outside the dungeon #(often with new puzzles thanks to the coffin being an extra weight) #all the while the immortal inside tries to escape #the objective is to get the immortal to a. summoning circle i guess? #housing devices called pile drivers. they're more like lenses or mirrors though. #they focus sunrays on the coffin purifying the immortal after a brief fight that's like #preventing the boss from attacking the pile drivers until it dies #like. this doesn't sound all that special but most bosses you fight are sentient and i just think it's a bit of a brutal method #for a main protagonist to use #i keep thinking of how it must feel to do it for a living. something like a funeral driver but you're the murderer and the corpse isn't dea #and instead of a funeral you're taking them to a mega death laser array that'll slowly chip away at their health #and then boktai 2 inflicts that on django and im like. is he ok (he's ok but he died)

[meatball-soup]

#i believe lacroix can be dominated in other way ;) #look at that twink #the way he bounced on the floor look at him #he jiggled a bit right there its so funny #premium ventrue ass right there mysir #im watching him disrespectfully #well i also stabbed him but thats not important lmao #vtmb #vampire the masquerade bloodlines #spoiler #spoilers #vtmb spoiler #sebastian lacroix #i replayed it so much that i can still hear his æúgh as his face hits the floor #he wanted the sacrophagus so bad he looks stupid #he wanted to vore them old people so bad huh... crave some sucky sucky he did........

What if I connected to a very unstable chassis then tried to kill you and your girlfriend wouldn't that be fun

#i need to redo my artfight refs and i needed to design the chassis part of vampire core for later on in the story #he has like an outfit change moment #is it even a portal story if theres not an evil bitch piloting the chassis /j #this is the same chassis seen in the portal coop dlc just with some changes so it's easier to draw #i think using this chassis works better than glados's because i don't wanna add glados to my oc story and vampire core does a lot coop tests #soo thats the vision #nothing against glados but id perfer to keep paradox as an oc only thing #and i don't wanna research how to write glados by reading her wiki page for hours #goddd i need to write the story outline before artfight comes #id like at least some of my characters to have lore on their pages ya know :) #i keep saying 'wow i need to write this already' then not doing it #oc writing is fun. i know its fun. i have fun doing it. but my brain tricks me into thinking its not fun and i don't like doing it #i got to the coloring stage before realizing I didn't like the brush i used for lineart so i had to redo it #but im glad i did it looks much better :) it also let me add the big claws i wanted him to have #i gave up on that puppet its an optional accessory for fun now sorryyyyyy #aughh i wanna animate so bad seeing my friends animate motivates me to do it too but I dont have timeeeee #portal #portal oc #Vampire core (oc)

pastel goth bat (he/it) and morten (they/he) because why the hell not

it's fun to dress up our ocs like dolls sometimes

#low stakes 🦇 #my art #context is that i typed in bat's name into one of those shindan maker generators and one of the lines gave me fashion: pastel goth #and this was kinda in a discord server #and we were all talking about how bad/well the randomly generated fashion styles suited our ocs #and i wanted to try drawing some of the ones i got #starting with pastel goth bat because honestly what would that even look like. so i tried that #then morten just kinda happened to tag along! as one does! mostly because i rly wanted to draw them like this too #for a while actually #also yes. morten Will mess with their hair more as they settle into their vampirism a bit. it'll be fine #their default will always be that blue tomboyish sidetails cut so it will always return to that #much like how einarr always returns to long white blond no matter what he does #vampire hair is just like that. permanent. unchanging. #bat didn't wanna do anything to his hair for this drawing lol he has boundaries #there is an alt version in my files where he does have white hair tho #i mean. it could still be a wig #but w/e #u can ask if you really want to see it

If Aaron and Baptiste die I’m gonna be fuming

#based on gabes past experience that is definitely what’s going to happen and I’ll be devastated #but I want them to live and be happy in the home they’ve built for themselves is that so bad #also I keep waiting for Chloe to turn up like he and Dior survived the fall what’s to say she didn’t. maybe she’ll meet them at san michon #anyway I need to finish this book today otherwise I’ll go insane #empire of the vampire #jay kristoff

Dude, Tav’s face when Laezel calls them out for trying to subtlety check her out is so cute and awkward hahahaha

#I call my mans here Tav but his name is Valas #but you know #Tav is universal lol #my beautiful drow baby boy wants to get with shadowheart so bad but the call of openly dominating lizard woman is too alluring #aka I cannot resist dominating mean women😭😭 #also my Tav got voted hottest in my grad program so hahahahaha #I got told he looks like a gay Castelvania vampire and honestly…true #baldurs gate 3 #larian studios #my tav #tav #bg3 tav #bg3 posting #bg3 oc #bg3 #laezel #laezel bg3

[what-is-it-to-be-pk-esque]

Aaaaaaaaa just did the cazador mission and it was amazing, started off like I couldn't wait to kill his ass and then it just proceeded to get so sad and tense and emotional and ughh

That was honestly one of the most memorable experiences I've ever seen in a video game, hands down. And a choice that was both somehow easy and hard 😫

so unfair but deep down I love that

#baldur's gate 3 spoilers #baldur's gate 3 #bg3 #bg3 spoilers #Astarion #and man what a shitty combo of options tbh #he didnt ascend but honestly neither option felt good #i hate and love how gray it kind of is? although maybe its not really that gray #i mean killing 7000 undead just for him to live without fear is arguably not that bad since they were already vampires #but at the same time they're just like him so it's a pretty terrible place to be in #i let them all live and Astarion seemed okay with not ascending #next time though I'll let him do it #i just want him to be able to feel the sun 😭😭😭 #also the Sebastian stuff was kind of a bummer. felt so bad for Astarion #i had Karlach with me and i loved her response afterwards she's so proud lol #also god damn i know everyone praises the voice acting in this game but it was seriously so good in that last scene

[jacqcrisis]

Why is everyone in this godforsaken camp sniffing my lizard?

#ronans trying to have a nice day intimidating people and holding astarions hand #and the wizard and the druid keep trying to catch a whiff i GUESS #anyone else? shadowheart? im assuming lae'zel because shes a certified freak #wylls too busy having daddy issues #anyways i turned down halsin for character reasons #also considering ronans been pretty encouraging about the not having sex thing with his vampire #it would make sense for him to feel weird or kind of not great about the idea of sleeping with someone else #he doesnt want to make his guy feel bad or put him on the spot about letting ronan go find sex somewhere else #that seems like a mean conversation to have to him so he told halsin nah #just not even gunna bother #he went without for like 11 years or whatever he can go for 11 more if he has to #if they live that long #i am curious about what that convo with astarion is like re: asking if you can go boink the bear #i shouldve did a save and reload oh well #bg3

love thinking about Halsin looking at Angdiirn and fantasizing about it being a moderately sadistic dom top who will treat him like its pet but in a fun consensually negotiated way rather than a terrifying 'years of slavery and abuse' way

only to actually proposition it and find out that it's 1) severely sexually traumatized and 2) a lot of its trauma is specific to being forced to penetrate so it's exclusively a side or bottom

#don't worry halsin. its vampire boyfriend IS a sadistic dom top #who bonus points needs someone who knows what they're doing better than he does to show him that it's okay to be this way #and that he can do it in a loving safe and consensual manner without being a bad person #so you can indulge your own desires without even having to feel selfish for asking for what you want #because it's also what he wants! #win-win (except you ARE going to have to address your lack of seeing to your own needs sometime buddy) #bearhole #For Sharo #halsin #angdiirn #<-blorbos from my brain #bg3

YOUR ASS HURT. DONE.

This is my island, Starfall!!!!! I had vague but elaborate lore for it and the residents, some sort of mystical enchanted forest town that's home to some strange guys (a mermaid on land, a vampire, an alien..... two random old OCs of mine LMFAOOO and MEEEEEE 💖)

These are only snippets of Starfall, so I recommend visiting if you're interested! Plus I. Worked hard on it and am still proud of some of my builds 🫣 It was never Finished finished, but also it's at a point where I don't wanna do anything else but nuke it 😅

Dream Address is DA-9640-4620-8466 like it says on the tin!!! 🤗

#animal crossing new horizons #acnh #PLEASE VISIT i even set out some items. which isn't much but it is very enriching when visiting dreams LMFAO #i probably won't be nuking it immediately i may wanna take more pics esp of my ocs #and also that. took so much time. that's the problem w ac LMFAO sometimes it's more of a chore 😓 #ALSO I NEED TO NUKE THIS SO BAD. it was DEF made in my v early parts of transition #where i was heavy into still being a cutesy 'girly' soft boy and. AUGHHHH I NEED TO KILL HIM #NOT REALLY. BUT STILL. like i still think it's true but i'm NOT soft anymore. i'm punk. i'm PUNK #i couldn't even deck out my guy in fully edgier attired cause that's the vampire's gimmick. cute but sharp. #espppp in the start i think my guy's gimmick was pretty boy princely still v femme/cutesy #which is FINE. but god. I'M EVIL NOW‼️‼️‼️ I'M SUPER EVIL NOW‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️ #when i start over my guy's whole thing is he's gonna be a fucking weirdo freak. idk how i'll communicate that #through props/dress alone but i'll fucking find a way #tbh i feel like a fun new theme could be a playfully spooky island..... like starfall has hints of this #but i think i can go further. lean way into it. #ANYWAYS IF YOU VISIT. TELL ME!!!!!!!!! if you want 😇 #dream address #idk. if there's a proper tag for it.
