#simon valerian
Note
Gurlll. What if another big royal comes up to ghost and says basically ‘how much for ur queen’ … basically wanting to buy her off of ghost ? And he says she’s not for sale but he says “everything has a price”. Maybe he’s been stalking her and tells ghost that he knows her schedule and what she likes.
After that graves chapter I need more DRAMA and more borderline feral and protective ghost
oomph the dramaaa (also don’t mind me making up random ass characters and random ass places for this hahahaahaha)
warnings: time-period typical misogyny, stalking, man being a creep, physical violence
A new trade deal was being signed today, and a big one at that. You had been informed that an entourage of court members from a neighboring kingdom would be staying in Kastron during the duration of the final deal talks and signage.
The arrival of King Valerian of Malcenite and his high-ranking entourage had been a spectacle you had greeted with the utmost politeness and grace. Simon had stressed the importance of the trade deal for Kastron, and you had been on your best behavior throughout their stay, despite a nagging sense that something was amiss. The trade deal was signed multiple days ago, much to everyone’s relief. Yet, for some odd reason, they’ve shown no signs of packing up to leave, even after already being in Kastron for over a week.
“It’s been a week, and the trade deal has already been signed, what more do they want from us?” you whisper to Simon with a furrowed brow. “Their presence is starting to become…overbearing.”
He nods in agreement. Simon’s eyes reflect the same unease that gripped you. “I know, love. It’s rather odd…They’ve never given me reason to doubt them.”
“We should find out what Valerian wants, Si. I mean, it’s really bothering me—”
Simon placed a reassuring hand on your shoulder, interrupting your words. “You should get some rest. Let me deal with Valerian, dove.”
Your heart ached with concern, but you knew Simon was right. The weight of your responsibilities of the week had taken its toll, and you were exhausted.
“Please,” he urges you.
With a reluctant nod, you allow him to take charge of the situation.
“Fine…but let me know if you need me for moral support. You know how I can get during arguments,” you say playfully, giving him a peck on the cheek.
“I know all too well, love.”
As you retreat to your chambers, the unease that had settled over the palace refused to dissipate. As you slipped into bed, thoughts of King Valerian’s ominous intentions gnawed at your mind, but you trusted in Simon's abilities to handle the matter.
As Simon shut the doors to your chambers, he signaled for two guards to stand watch at the door. With that, he moved swiftly to find King Valerian.
. . .
Ghost had found Valerian out in the gardens. The moonless sky felt oppressive, the air thick with tension.
King Ghost faced King Valerian with an air of authority that matched his regal presence. Valerian's calculating eyes bore into Simon's, their unspoken conflict echoing within the stone walls. He wore a cloak of arrogance, his eyes gleaming with an unsettling confidence.
“King Valerian,” Ghost began, his voice steady but tinged with a hint of authority, "we appreciate your visit and the successful trade agreement we've reached. However, I must ask about the purpose of your extended stay in Kastron.”
Valerian's lips curled into a sly smile, his fingers grazing over a bush of flowers. Your favorite flowers. “Your concern is touching, King Ghost. I assure you, my presence is simply a desire to further strengthen the bonds between our kingdoms.”
Simon's gaze remained unwavering, his suspicion growing by the second. “Forgive me, but your continued stay has raised questions among my advisors and my wife. We find it unusual.”
Valerian leaned forward, picking a flower from the bush, his voice lowering to a conspiratorial tone. “Very well, King Ghost, I shall be forthright with you. The trade deal, as successful as it was, was not the only reason for my visit. There is something else I desire from Kastron.”
Simon's brow furrowed, his patience wearing thin. “And what might that be?”
Valerian's eyes glittered with a dangerous intent. “Your queen. I have watched her closely during my time here, and I have become enamored with her grace and beauty. Not to mention her fiery personality. It’s not quite fit for a woman, but I can always fix that. I believe she deserves better, far beyond what you can offer.”
Simon feels like his heart has stopped beating. “Excuse me?” he replied with icy resolve, no longer worried about offending Valerian.
Valerian chuckles darkly, bringing the flower up to his nose. “The queen. How much for her?”
Simon's fingers curled into fists at his side, his voice firm and resolute. “My wife is not a thing. She is not for sale. How fucking dare you.”
Simon's chest heaved with the effort of restraining his fury, and his clenched fists trembled with the pent-up anger he held within. He approaches Valerian angrily, sizing him up with a deathly glare.
Valerian's smile faded, replaced by a cold, calculating stare. “Everything has a price, even loyalty.”
“I know her schedule, her preferences,” Valerian continues, emphasizing the flower in his hand. Your favorite. “I've followed her every move. All you need to do is name your price.”
In a flash, Simon unleashed his anger in a single, powerful blow. With a swift and precise motion, he delivered a sucker punch straight to Valerian's face. The blow sent the arrogant man stumbling backward, crashing into the nearby garden wall.
“Get the fuck out of my home. Deal is off. Never fuckin’ show your face here again, disgusting bastard.”
Valerian, nursing his bruised face, was forcibly escorted back into the palace by Ghost.
“You know I can do much, much, worse than a single punch. Don’t fuckin’ cross me. Don’t fuckin’ come near my wife and I ever again.”
Ghost showed no mercy, manhandling Valerian in front of the palace guards, who looked on with a mix of shock and confusion.
Simon shoves Valerian forward harshly into the hands of a couple of guards.
“Take this bastard out of my sight. I want him gone. Now. He’s unwelcome in Kastron.”
. . .
Inside the palace, Valerian's actions had been made known. Rumors always spread like wildfires throughout the palace staff, and none were willing to lift a finger to help him pack. Simon had made it clear that Valerian was not to set foot in the palace again, and the guards at the gate had orders to keep him out at all costs.
“I do not want the queen to find out about this blatant disrespect from palace rumors. Go about your work.”
. . .
Simon’s fury began to subside, replaced by a deep concern for you. He knew he needed to speak with you about the incident before the palace gossip reached your ears.
Simon quickly made his way to your shared private chambers, where you were engrossed in some needlepoint. Knocking softly on the door, he entered to find you hunched over in your sitting chair, your brow furrowed in concentration. You had recently taken an interest in learning needlepoint, taking time to practice simple designs in your spare time. You look up for a moment, but go back to focusing on your work. You do a double take when you notice the worry in his expression.
“What’s wrong?” you inquire, your voice gentle but tinged with concern.
Simon sighed deeply and closed the door behind him, anger still coursing through him. “I…I have some…unsettling news, darling.”
You immediately perk up, setting your needlepoint aside, focusing your attention on Simon.
“Go on,” you say, worry building up in your chest.
As he recounted his encounter with Valerian, your expression shifted from curiosity to a mix of pure anger and disbelief. You stood up with a start, face pinched with hostility. You grab Simon’s dominant hand, the one he had punched Valerian with, and inspected his knuckles. Bruised. You drop his hand and look at him.
“How dare he,” your voice trembles with indignation, your eyes blazing with determination.
Your fingers clenched into fists, mirroring the wrath that had overtaken you. “I will not tolerate this impertinence,” you declare, your voice resolute. “To think that he would even entertain the notion of buying me like, like some piece of property. He will fucking rue the day he ever uttered those words.”
And with that, you swiftly make your way towards the double doors, throwing the doors open with a resounding slam.
Simon watched in silence as you threw the doors open. Who was he to stop his angry wife? No, he would see this out. He knew that you were not one to be trifled with, especially when it came to matters of respect and dignity.
The palace corridors echoed your footsteps as you strode with purpose, and Simon hurried to catch up to you. He also was not about to let you be alone with Valerian.
“Darling—”
You didn’t pause or slow down as Simon called after you. Your determination to confront Valerian had taken hold of you, and you were not about to let this insult go unanswered. Simon quickly follows behind you, slightly nervous to see how this would pan out.
You turn to a palace guard standing alongside a wall. “Where is he?”
“Th– the parlor room, your majesty, he’s about to leave—”
In a flash, you change directions, marching towards the parlor room where Valerian was currently being kept under guard. As you approached the doors to the parlor room, you could hear the hushed whispers and see the curious glances of the palace attendants. Two guards stood in front of the doors.
“Step aside, please,” you command, hands coming to rest on your hips.
The guards look at you for a moment, then at Simon standing behind you menacingly.
“Your majesty, he is dangerous—”
“I wasn’t asking.”
They look at you, then step aside, pushing the door open for you. You practically stomp inside the room, anger rolling off you in waves. Valerian, who had been sitting alone in a corner, looked up with a mixture of surprise and unease as you entered the room. The air grew tense with anticipation as you faced him, your eyes flashing with anger.
“You!” you declared, your voice carrying the weight of authority. “How dare you insult us?”
Simon raises his eyebrows at your forwardness, but chooses to stay silent, crossing his arms over his chest. Valerian eyes Simon wearily before facing you. Despite being confronted by your fury, he couldn't resist the urge to maintain his arrogance. He rose from his seat slowly, deliberately. You don’t back away.
“Insult you?” he retorted. “Oh, my dear queen, it was merely a business proposition. I thought perhaps you might appreciate the opportunity to upgrade from this provincial life.”
Simon immediately takes a few steps forward, anger seeping back into his bones. He couldn’t bear to see him speak to you in such a way. But, ever steadfast, you persevere. Your fists clenched at his ignorance, and your anger surged anew. Simon watched with growing amusement, knowing that Valerian's arrogance was pushing you to your limit.
“How deluded you must be,” Valerian continued, a glint of amusement in his eyes. “To think Ghost could satisfy your desires with his meager offerings.”
The room seemed to vibrate with tension as you struggled to contain your rage. Your eyes locked onto Valerian’s, and in a flash, you lashed out. Your fist connected with his jaw with a satisfying thud. Nowhere near close to Simon’s force, but it was yours.
“Yeah, thought a weak woman such as myself wouldn’t retaliate?”
Valerian's smirk vanished as he held his aching jaw, shock overtaking his features. The room fell into stunned silence, the guards wide-eyed at the unexpected turn of events. Simon suppressed a smirk, he couldn't help but feel a surge of pride for you, who had defended not only her own honor but also his own. Fuckin’ hell.
You march up to Valerian and grab his ear, yanking him down to your level. “My husband has been nothing but kind to me. Your suggestions of him being incompetent and a monster is far from the truth. He is one of the most loyal and honorable people I know. You’ll never be a third of the man Simon is. And I'm not a piece of meat for you to enjoy, you sick freak.” You let go of his ear. “Stay away from me. Stay away from my husband.”
And with that, you turn out of the room. Simon stands there, gives Valerian a once over, then turns out of the room in silence.
Simon turns to a couple of guards. “It’s time for him to leave. Remove him from Kastron.”
With a bow, the guards turn to forcibly escort Valerian out of Kastron, forever.
As Simon turned, he caught a glimpse of your gown turn the corner back to your chambers. He follows behind you once more, practically running to catch up to you.
“Darling, slow down–” he calls out, and you stop in your tracks, turning to face him. “He’s gone now—”
You stand there, your chest heaving as you fight back the tears that threaten to spill from your eyes. The adrenaline from your confrontation still courses through your veins. It was a distressing experience, but you know you did what was necessary to protect your honor and your marriage.
Simon reaches you, his concern deepening as he takes in your flushed face and labored breathing. He gently places his hands on your shoulders, his eyes filled with worry. “Dove, are you all right? That was a brave thing you did back there…”
Your lower lip quivers for a brief moment, and you summon every ounce of your strength to hold back the tears threatening to spill. Crying in front of Simon is something you've never done before, and you're uncertain about how he would respond.
Simon notices the struggle within you, his eyes fill with empathy. He gently reaches out, his fingers softly brushing away a stray tear that escapes down your cheek. His touch is warm and reassuring, and he leans in to plant a tender kiss on your forehead.
“I– I’m fine, just frustrated, is all…I couldn’t stand by and let him insult us.”
Simon’s expression softens as you move to hug him, pressing your wet cheeks into his chest. His strong arms wrap around you, offering comfort. “You're the strongest person I know,” he murmurs into your ear. “I'm so proud to have you as my wife.”
You hold onto Simon tightly, taking comfort in his strength. “I love you,” you whisper, feeling a sense of security in his arms.
. . .
Simon held you close that night, his arms wrapped protectively around you as you both lay in the comfort of your bed. The events of the day had taken an emotional toll on you, and you found solace in his warm embrace.
Pressed against his chest, your head rested on his shoulder, and his fingers traced soothing patterns on your back. In the silence, broken only by the gentle rustle of bedsheets and soft breathing, you felt the weight of the world slowly lifting off your shoulders. The words you'd spoken to Valerian, the confrontation, and the emotional release afterward—all of it seemed like a distant memory now.
Simon’s heartbeat, steady and reassuring, echoed in your ear, lulling you into a peaceful sleep. Wrapped in his arms, you knew that no matter what challenges lay ahead, you had a partner who would always stand by your side.

Thank you, Mira. Farewell, BLADE.
(Link to a proper full resolution view version of this picture, without tumblr's compression)
While X' servers were still up and running, I spent a lot of time wandering around Mira, tracking down other players' Crosses, and screenshotting them whenever they had what I would consider a "farewell message". And the other day, reddit user NoodleTF2 posted a compilation of places where other players' Crosses can appear on Mira, which featured several people that I never saw (or never saw outside of menus). This big chonker of a picture (seriously, it's 5850 x 4320 - make sure to look at it in a full view!) is the result of me compiling every single ones of these farewell messages into one singular pic. The centrepiece is an edited screenshot of my own, since I obviously couldn't screenshot my own Cross, and thought that the sunset view of NLA made for a good middle of it all.
Thank you for everyone who came together in X' last days. You all made the end something to remember.

All these characters are from an RPG campaign called; Gehenna's Gates, set in the world of Vampire The Masquerade. Feel free to ask any questions!
Vampire Family Masterpost!
The Circus Family:
In the darkness of the endless nights of the 20th century, a unique institution arose - the Cernabog Circus. This magical place represented a marriage between the art of darkness, the macabre and the enchantment of circus entertainment, creating an unparalleled show that captured the imagination of the public.
It all began with Danya Vetranov, a young Ukrainian fortuneteller destined for a future of misery and despair. Her life had begun in the dark and dangerous streets, especially after the arrest of her father, who had left her completely alone. Her ability to read cards attracted the attention of a mysterious man, the founder of the circus, Valerian Ardelean. A handsome gypsy prince turned Ravnos known for his skills at conning and seduction, he had an ambitious goal: to create a one-of-a-kind horror circus of his own. Danya became the focus of her hopes, the tarot visionary destined to lead the circus to success.
Simone Levesque, a Malkavian with six different personalities, became an essential element of the show, bringing a touch of madness and unique comedy to the circus. His ability to make the audience laugh, even if in a bizarre and sometimes frightening way, made him an indispensable element of the Cernabog Circus.
Philippe Chevalier, a Toreador with a refined taste in art, fashion and theatre, became the creative director of the circus, transforming every aspect of the show into a unique visual and sensory experience thanks to his sets and his designs.
Finally, Luc Gossens, a Brujah on the run from Camarillian authorities, became the silent guardian of the Cernabog Circus, ensuring the safety of the circus members with his discreet but commanding presence.
Circus Cernabog had morphed into an eclectic family of vampires and artists, each with their own story of darkness and rebirth. Together, they created an extraordinary show that enthralled and captivated nightly audiences from all over Europe. Beyond the lights of eternal night, in the heart of the circus, beat the heart of an exceptional art and bonds that defied eternity itself.
However, the happy days of the circus were to come to an end. Tragedy befell the Cernabog Circus with the mysterious kidnapping of Simone and Philippe, which plunged Luc and Danya into despair, even leading them to quarrel and separate.
Simone was rescued by Luc and Arthur, who discovered the Camarilla's horrific experiments on Malkavians like her, and the Brujah swore vengeance on whoever did that to her child. Then, after falling out with the Prince's agents, the circus was devastated by arson, and the remaining members were killed. Valerian was kidnapped, while Timotei fled and allied himself with Anselm, betraying his friends.
Danya, in a desperate attempt to find her Sire, led her friends into a death trap where Valerian was transformed into a human bomb to kill them. After the tragedy, Danya clung to Rudolf and Arthur to continue. While Luc, after admitting the feelings he had for Philippe, went to live with him, adopting Simone who after Arthur's intervention, to save her life, had also miraculously returned human.
Circus Cernabog was no more, but the last three remaining members clung to each other and new friends, building a new and extended family. They never forgot those who had left them, but they found the strength to carry on.
Danya Vetranov & Elizabeth Delacy:
Their story began like so many stories between Ventrue and Ravnos: with a deep mutual contempt and underlying distrust. Elizabeth saw Danya simply as the prince's puppet, while Danya thought Elizabeth was just another greedy traitor, in the usual Ventrue mold. But life sometimes has a curious way of setting things in motion.
They were united by a common goal and exasperation at the reckless actions of their traveling companions. This sudden and unexpected bond transformed their relationship, leading them to become great friends, almost like sisters. Together, they managed to establish a government that compensated for Luc's heavy-handedness and Nate's chaotic nature. They found in each other a best friend, a precious confidante and an ally of inestimable value.
However, their story didn't stop there. When Danya fell into despair over O'Connell's death, Elizabeth was her light that convinced her not to abandon the government. Together, they transformed Danya into a leading figure among London's vampires, proving that the strength of a friendship can overcome any obstacle. Danya returned the favor by helping Elizabeth resolve her complex situation with Devon, bringing the love between the two back to her life.
Their story took an even more surprising turn when, after the humiliation of Luc, who previously ruled alone, and the Sabbat's takeover of the city, they founded the Triumvirate together with a fallen Brujah. This unique and powerful alliance continues to successfully manage the vampire community and campaign to stop Gehenna.
The London Coterie:
In the beating heart of London, an unprecedented coterie emerges, an entanglement of shattered souls, representative of various clans of vampires, lupines and even humans. This extraordinary gathering, which under ordinary conditions would have been filled with rivers of blood and vengeance, is governed by an extraordinary alliance of founding members. This council, which holds power over London, includes Danya Vetranov, the cunning ravnos; Luc Gossens, the imposing Brujah; Elizabeth DeLacy, noble of the Ventrue clan, and Nathan Black, the tormented soul of the Baali.
While Rudolf and Jonah contribute their unique skills to the coterie and its governance, Arthur, the ex-vampire hunter, keeps to the sidelines, leading the group like an understated father figure.
The real magic of the coterie, however, is reflected in the diverse array of individuals who have joined them. People like Philippe, a former circus member now Luc's partner, and their adopted children like Simone Leveasque, a former Malkavian turned werewolf; Zoe, a follower of the Gangrel clan; Bill, an enigmatic Assamite; and even Dandelion, a demon deeply bonded to Luc. Each member brings with them a unique element that contributes to weaving the surprising mosaic of this coterie.
But the real surprise lies in their ability to welcome former enemies and marginalized individuals. Van Helsing, Rany the Witch, Devon Eskarra and Anselm Godwyn, each bearing the scars of ancient battles, have become symbols of renewal and change within the group.

So I made a college/highschool Fionna and Cake au.
Aka hear me talk of my au--and ART :D
There's some design stuff I've made Prismo, Gary, Fiona, etc. the idea is they live in a semi-magical world run by gods and everyone goes to school to either study the world like on real school or to learn how to do a magical job for all.im calling it wishcollege au bc I called it that when I was working on prismo's idea he is going to this college to learn to become a wishmaster
he's just an intern/ wish trainee rn. The Valerian wish college is run by Principle Scarab or- Principle Devon Nolan is their first name but it's all fake. Valerian Is a plant w flower that treats ocd symptoms, migraines, hyperactivity,, and. But also bears pin/white/magenta flowers that attract insects. I thought it's be fitting. He's a pic from Prismo's PG in my sketchbook:
Now the highschool, Valerian highschool is run by Gary Schmitt-bubblegum whose been around practically forever. Prismo goes here too bc they're still in HS and just duel enrolling, they're in HS bc they show no ambition but in college bc they seem extremely excited and ahead of your wisher peers when it comes to wishmaster training specifically. There's still over 17,650 yrs, an adult I suppose although still sorta teen. Studies a few thingsHe also has an interest in band and plant biology but wishmaster is their career. Here's a pic of Fionna and Simon doodles just bc:
And here's one of Principle of college, Scarab/Nolan Earl m.p. Devon: he just hates his job being stuck as a college professors full time. When he was taught he showed interest in what he was learning but was forced into being someone that taught the same exact thing instead doing it himself. He feels betrayed but too lawful (bc in the human realm he does have follow citizenship standards and laws) to do anything heinous about it. He's mostly demon part pure light but not in story sense in a biological sense made of light instead of other actual matter particles. Of course Prismo is part Demon too so they somewhat find common ground but Prismo got too invested in career and doesn't care about that phase. The scarabs a bit of an ol' grump. The only class he teaches himself is the materialization of wishes through light formation class (long name obviously not what they call the class fr xd) which is what they majored in and excelled. He was too authoritative to be a wishgranter so a prof and principal is great. They get into run-ins with Prismo or Raj lots bc it cares about her studies but not her school's rules. Nolan doesn't place much concern on this, views Prismo as a headache and silly but not a threat. Fun, they are buds though as time moves on and his grades improve too (iykwim -jk im jk) .
Professors for highschool I know are: -Bubblegum, not Gary but we have a few repeats from AT as well FAC universes bc they're combined on this one alternate world based upon a more modern Ooo. So Bubblegum teaches bioscience and in college as well as HS the botany club/class! :D -Marcy is a band instructor but also substitutes for botany class in high, Bonnie and Marcy are dating still.cx bc it's a good ship -Ellis P. Is band instructor as well he does brass since Marceline does woodwind and string
-Simon teaches wizardry and magical objects bc it's a mix of what they did as ice king, what they used to do, and what makes more sense in the universe am dplanet they're on. He'd obvi be a prof + when he was ice king I feel like he'd teach smthn as well such as like science behind temperature and stuffs. -Betty is also a teacher there and is partially still combined with Golb. She teaches mythology at first, then, science and magic behind love, then both but ends up taking up religious studies a lot when they get old. Simon and them are happily married but they both gets harassed at work alot
I say band but they have orchestra not band, that's for both college and HS that it's orchestra.

DRAGONSLAYER (1981) – Episode 222 – Decades Of Horror 1980s
“You’ll be dead Galen Bradwarden, Sorcerer’s Apprentice. You’ll be dead, the dragon will still be alive, and I’ll still be a virgin! You’ll be dead, and I don’t care!” Sounds like a good foundation for a lasting relationship, right? Join your faithful Grue-Crew – Chad Hunt, Bill Mulligan, Crystal Cleveland, and Jeff Mohr – as they check out probably the most realistic dragon (did I hear someone say wyvern?) set to film in Dragonslayer (1981).

Director: Matthew Robbins
Writers: Hal Barwood, Matthew Robbins

Ken Ralston (dragon supervisor: ILM)
Thomas G. Smith (effects production supervisor: ILM) (as Thomas Smith)

Selected Cast:
Peter MacNicol as Galen Bradwarden
Caitlin Clarke as Valerian
Ralph Richardson as Ulrich of Cragganmore
John Hallam as Tyrian
Peter Eyre as King Casiodorus Ulfilas
Albert Salmi as Greil (dubbed by Norman Rodway)

Roger Kemp as Horsrick, Casiodorus’s Chamberlain
Ian McDiarmid as Brother Jacopus
Dragonslayer is Bill’s pick. Surprise! He had read about the technique called go-motion and really enjoys it, calling Vermathrax Pejorative one of the greatest dragons ever put on film. It is also one of his favorite kinds of fantasy movies; one where the world is messy and dirty, and a noble character does not get rescued despite audience expectations.
Crystal labels Dragonslayer as one of her all-time favorite movies. It would not be nearly so memorable for her without the special effects and the dragon. She also points out that technically, it is a wyvern, not a dragon. Not a big fan of pure fantasy movies, Jeff loves seeing Dragonslayer for the first time, especially the work from professionals like Phil Tippett & Dennis Muren. The Grue-Crew is universally impressed with Caitlin Clarke’s performance as Valerian and wishes that she was given much more work as a female lead.
If you’re in the mood for a great fire-breathing wyvern, née dragon, you can’t do better than Dragonslayer. At the time of this writing, it is available to stream from Kanopy, Prime, and Paramount+. As far as physical media, a Blu-ray version of Dragonslayer is scheduled for a 21 March 2023 release from Paramount.
Every two weeks, Gruesome Magazine’s Decades of Horror 1980s podcast will cover another horror film from the 1980s. The next episode’s film, chosen by Crystal, will be Pet Sematary (1989), directed by Mary Lambert from the novel and screenplay by Stephen King. Sometimes, dead is better.
Please let them know how they’re doing! They want to hear from you – the coolest, grooviest fans – so leave them a message or comment on the gruesome Magazine Youtube channel, on the website, or email the Decades of Horror 1980s podcast hosts at [email protected].

All this characters are from an rpg campain called; Gehenna's Gates set in the world of Vampire The Masquerade.
The Circus Family:
In the darkness of the endless nights of the 20th century, a unique institution arose – the Cernabog Circus. This magical place represented a marriage between the art of darkness, the macabre and the enchantment of circus entertainment, creating an unparalleled show that captured the imagination of the public.
It all began with Danya Vetranov, a young Ukrainian fortuneteller destined for a future of misery and despair. Her life had begun in the dark and dangerous streets, especially after the arrest of her father, who had left her completely alone. Her ability to read cards attracted the attention of a mysterious man, the founder of the circus, Valerian Ardelean. A handsome gypsy prince turned Ravnos known for his skills at conning and seduction, he had an ambitious goal: to create a one-of-a-kind horror circus of his own. Danya became the focus of her hopes, the tarot visionary destined to lead the circus to success.
Simone Levesque, a Malkavian with six different personalities, became an essential element of the show, bringing a touch of madness and unique comedy to the circus. His ability to make the audience laugh, even if in a bizarre and sometimes frightening way, made him an indispensable element of the Cernabog Circus.
Philippe Chevalier, a Toreador with a refined taste in art, fashion and theatre, became the creative director of the circus, transforming every aspect of the show into a unique visual and sensory experience thanks to his sets and his designs.
Finally, Luc Gossens, a Brujah on the run from Camarillian authorities, became the silent guardian of the Cernabog Circus, ensuring the safety of the circus members with his discreet but commanding presence.
Circus Cernabog had morphed into an eclectic family of vampires and artists, each with their own story of darkness and rebirth. Together, they created an extraordinary show that enthralled and captivated nightly audiences from all over Europe. Beyond the lights of eternal night, in the heart of the circus, beat the heart of an exceptional art and bonds that defied eternity itself.
However, the happy days of the circus were to come to an end. Tragedy befell the Cernabog Circus with the mysterious kidnapping of Simone and Philippe, which plunged Luc and Danya into despair, even leading them to quarrel and separate.
Danya Vetranov: A charming Ravnos with a difficult past. Her sire took her to the circus for her extraordinary divination skills, and for many years that place was her home. The events she experienced in London had a radical impact on her life, pushing her to become the human soul of her coterie. She has a natural talent for bringing people together and considers those close to her as her family. She's willing to do anything to protect them, without any hesitation.
Luc Gossens: A politician who worked in the shadows to put his party in charge. But just when this happened, after an unfortunate accident he got back up like a Brujah. Without sire and hunted down, he was forced to hide in the circus, where he bonded closely with Philippe, Danya and Simone, becoming the guard who protected them. Even now as head of government he is ready to face anything in order to defend the family he has painstakingly built for himself. Arrogant, tough, stubborn, arrogant and sometimes overbearing, but a solid pillar to lean on in times of need.
Philippe Chevalier: a Toreador with an eccentric and unique character. As a former creative director of the circus, he has an innate talent for creating breathtaking shows and creating extraordinary costumes, demonstrating a great passion for fashion. Despite his frivolous exterior, he is remarkably kind and sensitive, always willing to help others when they need it.

@whxrewxlves || Valerian and Simon 2
Valerian went to the car, eating a snack bar on his way with a big smile. He had left his boyfriend back at home under a silly excuse. He needed to go back to the gym and grab something he had forgotten. How many things had Valerian forgotten lately? It doesn’t matter, his boyfriend either doesn’t care or doesn’t seem to mind how Valerian has gone from being a man who remembers every birthday without Facebook reminding him to him forgetting something at the gym almost daily. But it’s not the Gym that Valerian visits, instead, he goes to a secluded motel down a lane that is rarely used and rents one single room. Room 16, a room located on the second floor of the motel and close to the fire exit. If needed, they could always use the fire exit to escape. He slid the key in, turned it and merely seconds as he enters, he undressed, leaving his clothes on the closet and closing the door behind it. That’s how he has avoided Simon’s hair on his clothes this far. He awaits for Simon to arrive as he lays on the bed, ass up and ready to be taken like his boyfriend’s brother really likes it.

An updated version of an earlier list! Good and evil witches alike:
Acrasia: A witch in The Faerie Queene who tempts and bewitches people, controlling their minds. Means "lacking command."
Agatha: Means "good." A disproportionately common name for witches in media, including the Enchantress from Beauty and the Beast, Aggie Prenderghast from ParaNorman, and Aggie Cromwell from Halloweentown.
Aglaonice: A Thessalian witch from the writings of Plutarch, who could draw the moon down from the sky (probably referring to an eclipse). She might just have been an astronomer!

Aradia: The title character of Charles Geoffrey Leland's book Aradia, or the Gospel of the Witches. A moon goddess and basically the witch version of Jesus, at least in that book.
Arcana: Latin word meaning “secret” (literally “to shut in a chest”), also a word for the two groups of cards in a tarot deck.
Argante: The Queen of Avalon in one Arthurian text, a version of Morgan le Fay. Might be related to argenta (“silver”).

Asteria: A Titaness and the mother of Hecate, the goddess of falling stars, prophecy, astrology, and oneiromancy. Means “starry.”

Autumn: The season containing Halloween/Samhain.
Belladonna: Deadly nightshade, a poisonous herb. Means "beautiful woman."
Briar: Refers to thorny bushes. Could be associated with evil enchantments, beautiful roses, or both.
Brigid: Celtic fire goddess. Means either "strength, virtue" or "exalted one."
Cassandra: A Greek prophetess whom Apollo cursed so no one would believe her. Means "she who entangles men." Could be shortened to "Cassie."
Cerridwen: Welsh enchantress goddess associated with the sacred cauldron of divine inspiration. Means "white poet."
Circe: A sorceress in Greek mythology who turned men into animals and who was a priestess of Hecate. Means "hoop-round."
Despoina: A daughter of Demeter and Poseidon associated with the Eleusinian Mysteries. Means “the mistress.” Also an epithet of Hecate and Persephone.
