#maybe that's why I like vampires

things I know will never happen in the show but that I personally think would be very funny

bonus close up of lestat (inspired by yet another måneskin fit)

As someone who is genderfae (microlabel under genderfluid), I have a lot of different experiences with gender.

I just wish someone told me sooner that it won't go like "today I'm a girl" "today I'm an enby" but more like ,,, "today I am a swamp witch" "today I am a feminine victorian vampire boy" "today I am a forest goblin collecting people's stares about my gender expression like shiny rocks on the ground" "today I'm an androgynous pirate lady"

Like,,, sure, are those real genders? I don't fucking now. If a cisgender person asked me what I identify as that day, would I answer like that? No, definitely not.

But to my genderqueer, trans and genderfluid friends; do you get me? I can't be alone with this, right?

#genderfluid #genderfae #gender expression #genderqueer #transgender #nonbinary #queer #questioning my gender yet again #gender crisis #gender #my gender soup has so many flavours you don't understand #i needed to explain to my friend that when i say i want to dress like the cutest victorian inspired goth vampire prince #it's not actually a male gender #like.. you would really think it is #but that is a very nonbiney gender somehow #don't ask me how #or maybe it does count as male? #but the femininest androgynous male you can think of #like cute pretty let me giggle like a little girl kinda feminine #i don't even know if half of these things make sense #“why don't you just say girl or enby” #because moon witch dark cottagecore female isn't the same #as go out in the sun and enjoy the breeze i command a ship androgynous pirate lady female #anyways

Heyooo! I spent the last year creating an incredibly self indulgent Ronadora Pinup calendar!

❤💜Pre0rder here!! ❤💜

(And shoutout to @biscuitgeekery for the awesome product photos!)

#the vampire dies in no time #kyuuketsuki sugu shinu #kyuushi #ronadora #draluc #ronaldo tvdint #ronaldo kyuushi #tinydraws #anyways this is my calendar project that i was being vague about #Just a quick word: these absolutely will not be arriving in time for christmas #it may arrive in time for january 1 but i wouldn't hold my breath #'tiny why didn't you post this sooner?' i'm Not Smart and i started this project on a whim #i dwelled on the concept for like 3 whole months #and then started working on it january 2023 and basically did a month each month and then realized too late that post production is a thing #again this was a very self indulgent project #it was made for me #and then maybe the whole 2 people who would be even remotely interested in this f;oaiwnfewao

The whole framing of Lestat as the sole symbol of patriarchy that fandom is so desperate to put him in doesn't work unless you deliberately ignore how he was also a victim of rape and abuse before he was turned. People want him to be fit into this strict role of "father figure/violent husband/perpetrator" that is only that and not even a whole person, and in doing so they need to push aside the fact that despite being his family's provider, he was also pushed into that role when his father forbid him from joining a monastery or gaining an education that he wanted. Lestat wanted to run away with a theater group as a kid, and actually managed to do so once Gabrielle gave him her blessing and monetary support in order to go to Paris. He didn't always want to be the provider, he was forced into that role and became despondent when he thought he would never get a chance to leave his home.

His new life prior to being turned is pretty much the antithesis to the whole "Lestat is a manly man who would sooner throw up than be compared to a woman" spiel: he lived with another man in Paris while also being an actor, having left his family and "responsibility" to them. The only family member he was ever close to was his mother, all the other male members shunned or ridiculed him. Add onto that the fact that his turning firmly placed him within the role of the damsel/victim: he's kidnapped from his bed by a stranger, taken into a tower and left to rot while being fed on for a week, before then being raped and violently turned all while never even being asked if he would consent to it in any normal circumstance. But you of course have to ignore all of this if you want him to only represent the aggressor/patriarch while Louis is the helpless unhappy matriarch of the family.

My issue isn't that I think Louis isn't a victim, it's that it's not unrealistic for Lestat to be an aggressor/abuser while also displaying traits that aren't regularly assigned to stereotypical depictions of male characters. He's abusive to Claudia while also having been a victim of abuse from his own family. He's not a good maker/teacher, but he also didn't even have one when he was turned. He's the provider/attempted protector of the family and seemed to like being that, while also having run away from his own family prior to this to act in a theater in Paris. He's a rich white man while also being obviously effeminate in public spaces, even to Tom's own bigoted humor.

Like Louis' own complicated story with being his family's benefactor and provider, you can't firmly place Lestat as being one thing or another in terms of gender ideals without deliberately ignoring parts about him that don't fit this. And I don't think it's an absolute necessity, when even in Louis' own story, Lestat isn't stripped of his effeminate mannerisms or behavior while also being the abusive maker/father/lover.

#interview with the vampire #lestat de lioncourt #like even Louis doesn't try to act like Lestat was only ever the powerful 'daddy' of the house #if he was I doubt he'd even feature Lestat wanting to be king of mardi gras and doing that extremely flamboyant display #to the public's chagrin/disgust #the only people in awe of Lestat's peacocking are the women in ep7 like that man was NOT accepted by other rich men like Tom #and I don't point this out in order to dismiss the notion that he could be abusive/horrible #rather that it's completely possible for both things to be true? #also to the people that will likely go: but how does him being a victim of abuse negate him being a patriarch #idk maybe redirect your question to the Edwardian wife fanatics that think that no male character can be a victim unless he is assigned #the female while he is in a relationship with another man 🤷‍♀️ #I'll never forget how someone was also like 'Lestat fakes his femininity for the public' why? no one likes his effeminate ass anywhere #he holds more power by being white + rich than by being effeminate in order to ''''hide'''' his power which he never has or cared to #when Fenwick suggested to Louis to get a business under Lestat's name it's because Lestat being white could pass segregation laws... #not because his effeminate mannerisms grant him more favor.....

ok. tragically separated wwi era vampire twins.

#seabirds.txt #seabirds.art #mystery twins #gemeos do misterio #q!bagi #q!cellbit #qsmp #i did research 1920s era clothing for this but i based a lot of it off of their mc skins. #cellbit is a sailor turned vampire who ended up in europe during wwi after fighting naval battles at sea and never came home #bagi becomes a journalist to find him and stumbles across vampires along the way not realizing he had become a vampire too #design notes: this all started off of bagi's newsboy cap which was popular in the 1920s with working men. i put her in men's pants because #wanted to give this energy of working a job traditionally not worked by women at the time. <- women started campaigning to work as #journalists notably around the late 1800s and early 1900s (at least in the us and some european countries (couldnt find info on brazil)) #i was thinking of nellie bly when thinking of what bagi would be doing in this au! she also has a bandana to hide her neck where her vampir #bite would be and a hanky for blood clean up. perhaps something from home. cellbit is not concerned with hiding his own neck. he's just #wearing a dress shirt LOL. i feel like cellbit would be fully embracing his vampiric tendencies at this point and a part of more vampire #society than human while for bagi it would be the other way around (she's still looking for him in the human world using vampire resources) #that is why he is so bloodstained. i feel like in his free time he would be freelancing detective work for other vampires maybe to gather u #favors or something similar. he's a little bit fancy because of this but still casual enough that there's no suit involved.

Back when mahiru thought his uncle might be dead he had a flashback to the accident that resulted in his mother's death, but one thing I noticed is that we don't actually see akira in this memory? It feels like either mahiru (or someone like lily or jeje) is supressing his memory here.

And if someone possibly killed akira on purpose, who was it and why?

#servamp #akira shirota #mahiru shirota #I mean the biggest plot twist would actually be that she faked her death and is actually alive/a vampire for whatever reason #But assuming she's dead who would have a motive #touma seems unlikely I feel like he would have taunted mahiru with that back when he mentioned killing several people #I forgot how old mahiru was when akira died but mikuni was probably still too young and also he used to hate humans getting killed #No idea why he's working with tsubaki to do a ritual that will kill all of tokyo now #Tsubaki maybe? He might know about what is so special about mahiru. In that case killing the mother (who also knew what's special about him #Would make some sense. She can't tell mahiru or anyone else about it if she's dead. #But killing her in a way that might have killed mahiru as well...assuming whatever is special about mahiru is needed for the ritual #Risky #But maybe mahiru's memories were faked like misono's were with the night kiriko died and mahiru wasn't actually there when akira got killed #Trying to kill tooru after he had to reveal his ties to c3 before he could explain to mahiru what's special about him #Would also fit with tsubaki #tsubaki would also have a motive not to taunt mahiru with it so nobody tries to look into it and finds out what killing her would achieve #If mahiru is needed for the ritual it's probably even better that mahiru and kuro found a way to get rid of the distance limit #because the enemies probably planned with the distance limit in mind meaning mahiru not needing to be there when kuro tries to stop tsubaki #Might be unexpected to them and throw a wrench in their plans

the comparison between rileys ultimatum and spikes ultimatum is so fascinating to me.

riley told buffy i need you to show me that you love me or else ill leave. he wanted some big display of affection, since clearly how she normally showed her love wasnt enough, the issues he had in their relationship being that he felt that she didnt love him (before he lost his powers, before she learned her sister wasnt really her sister) and that she didnt need him (to protect her, to help her, to care for her). his ultimatum was selfish, focused on him, and when push came to shove he followed thru. if he loved buffy the way he claimed he wouldve stayed, sat somewhere off to the side watching the helicopter take off, knowing that losing buffy was worse to him that losing his job opportunity

spike gave her a similar ultimatum, i need you to tell me that there might be something there. that if we were to work at this you might, maybe feel the same way about me, or else ill let my love of the past 100+ years kill you. hes desperate for a sliver of hope to keep him going, and when she squashes it completely, tells him that the only chance theyd have to be together is if he took advantage of her while she was unconscious (to his horror), he still doesnt follow through. he protects her from drusilla, even if he fails to stake her like he said hed do to prove his love to buffy. when push came to shove he cared for buffy too much to let her die even if she would never love him back the same way

#buffy the vampire slayer #lemme bitch about something here real quick like real quick. i HATE how the show is like ‘oh spikes incapable of love bc he lacks a soul’ #like. im sorry. maybe im a simple person but must we be like ‘oh only those with souls are capable of true love’ its boring #buffy on why she is willing to accept the angel loved her but not spike ‘well he had a soul so checkmate’ #this isnt an argument for or against either one btw. this was me realizing they both gave her ultimatums + that i thought it was intresting

[feketeribizli]

if i made a google question thing with a few (three at max) not too serious questions about vampirism and queerness and all that would you guys answer it. be honest

#i think itd be fun to have the perspective on this from other people? and maybe someone here has a fun aswer to why they like vampires #itd be anonymous of course... not even guaranteed itd get into my thesis research papers #hazel.txt

About Sanae

Alright, so Sanae Kochiya

Is known to have been a geek as a human in the outside world (referencing pop culture often in multiple of her appearances)

Has very specifically been shown to be into science-related fiction (her interest in aliens in UFO, her absolute joy at being able to go to the moon, her Soku story involving her thinking that Hisotensoku is a giant robot)

Is a noted eccentric

Used to read "occult magazines" when she was young around the turn of the century (Vs. Patchouli win dialogue, Soku) These things we know about her factually

We also know that in the outside world (our world)

American comic books have a niche in Japan (they are not sold in all book stores and the more fashionable shops that sell them sell them in English for the art [Justin Sevakis w/ ANN, 2018])

Most Japanese people who read comics read comics from the Big 2 (Marvel, DC)

At some point, American comics were serialized in Japanese magazines (Justin Sevakis w/ ANN, 2018)

There was a huge boom in extreme/grimdark themes and tropes in 90s American comics

Spider-Man antagonist Michael Morbius had a solo run starting in 1992

Thus, we can infer

Sanae, as an eccentric and a nerd, has probably read some American comics

Sanae would have been reading comics from the Big 2

Sanae, who read magazines in the 90s, could have read those comics in the 90s (if not through magazines, then through collected editions)

Sanae would probably lean more into Marvel, as Marvel is heavy on sci-fi elements

Sanae would be in the middle of the era of 90s grimdark

Leaning more Marvel, Sanae would definitely had read Spider-Man if she read western comics

What I'm saying is, there is a non-zero chance that Sanae Kochiya has read Morbius, The Living Vampire (1992). Now, her opinions of Morbius, at least in my opinion, depends on when she started reading/what issues she read, but that doesn't change the fact that the chance that she has knowledge of Morbius exists.

I’m in one of those very pred moods… I’m just really tired of this weak human body. I want to have claws and talons and fangs I can use to take what I want from any human I decide to prey upon. Sometimes, if I close my eyes and focus on my body, I can almost feel myself changing into something better…

I want to express my love with my teeth in their flesh. I want to taste blood and feel their weak limbs struggle in vain. I want to be assured of my supremacy over them but still give them all of my devotion and attention with the sharp parts of my body.

#like. FUCKKK. why can’t i just become a vampire already. #this shit would be so much easier if i were a vampire #am i getting monster dysphoria? maybe #as much as i love how my body is more feminine now i also want it to be monstrous #ig i can get into that later if i get inked up and piercings…. #monsterfucker #monster gender

Finished Evil West and did my fave thing after finishing games, looking at fanart and cosplays now spoiler free! 🤠

Only to discover the gutting truth that apparently no one cares about this game whatsoever, and here I was expecting to please my eyeballs with Chester fanart... dang 💔

There aren't even good quality pics of him on Google images like bro why did no one love this game?? I loved it a lot???

Well, anyway, I'll provide... whether people care or not lmao

#chester morgan #evil west #wtf why do people not love these characters #idk maybe I'm weak to cowboys and vampires perhaps #but like so many of them are drawable #ik the story people thought was meh but i really liked it #plus the game was fun and played similar to god of war just lower budget #I'm actually so sad #evil west fans please be my friend #I'm open to talking about it #i suppose rdr2 is more popular on tiktok than tumblr maybe i will look on tiktok to fill this void #or Pinterest tbh

I tried but couldn't add any words to my "for legal purposes Tensei had to marry Masaki" fic however different idea: au where Masaki and Tensei said they'd marry each other if both reached 30 single, and Masaki is now just like "ah ha he's going to be dating someone in two years tho right. In eighteen months right. In one year right-"

#huh. seems like the setup for these two is always something contrived. #'I'm involved in a case and you're the prime suspect even tho we both know the secret third answer to who did it' #'i gotta marry this guy because he could put me in jail if i don't' #'haha we said we would marry each other but it was a joke right. right. you were joking at least right.' #heck maybe even the vampire au counts in this trend #now of course: i don't care and it amuses me how contrived i can make it #but i am also curious why them etc etc you know #Masaki delima of the hour: if i don't get a fake boyfriend right now I'll have to reckon with the real love of my life confirming whether #or not he was joking whenever they made that dumb bet promise thing #which #considering the poor man is a stress blorbo #that's honestly a way better situation than the others i stick him in #he'd still be approximately the same amount of anxious tho fhfhgjh
