*  SEASONAL  AESTHETICS  !
repost,    don’t  reblog  !
Tumblr media
WINTER.          a  chill  right  down  to  the  bones.    tobogganing.    teeth  chattering.    sleeping  all  day.   sitting  by  the  fireplace.   spending  time  with  family.    layered  clothing.    seeing  another’s  breath.    loving  the  cold.    a  state  of  inactivity.    cold  hands.    blistering  winds  shaking  the  closed  windows.    a  bookcase  full  of  brand  new  books  and  all  of  the  time  in  the  world  to  read  them.    cable  knit  socks.    a  bitter  remark.    a log  cabin  in  the  middle  of  nowhere.    hating  the  cold.    full  length  windows  to  peer  out  of.   pale  skin.    deep  conversations.    watching  the  snow  fall.    sharp  edges.    hot  cocoa.    smelling  every  candle  in  the  store.    a  wild  snow  storm.    melancholy.   lighting  candles  around  the  bathtub.   snow  globes.    expressing  yourself  but  never  finding  quite  the  right  words.    the  softest  of  blankets.    liking,  but  not  loving  something  or  someone.
SPRING.          the  smell  after  it  rains.    being  in  control  of  yourself.    a  soft  breeze  blowing  your  hair.    lightning  when  it  strikes.    cherry  blossoms.   bright  mornings.    the  first  sign  of  hope.    the  relief  of  finding  something  you  lost.    paris  in  the  morning.   birds  chirping.    the  art  of  growing.   a  kiss  on  the  cheek.    the  clap  of  thunder.    a  tornado  in  the  valley.    smiling  at  a  stranger.    planning.    saccharine  pinks.   making  promises.    trying  something  new.    hugs  when  you  need  them  the  most.    a  bee  sting.    sitting  on  the  steps  of  the  met.    coming  inside  drenched  from  the  thunderstorm.    picnics  on  a  checkered  blanket  in  the  new  sun.    that  feeling  you  get  when  you  put  on  a  new  dress.    a  long  hike.    rushing  when  you  can  take  your  time.    going  to  the  gym  /  training  at  ungodly  hours.    excitement  for  what’s  coming.    becoming  yourself.    rain  boots.
SUMMER.         lanterns  lit  around  a  campfire.    seeing  the  sunrise  like  it’s  the  first  time  again  and  again.    melting  ice  cream.    the  warmth  of  sun  rays  upon  skin.   fireworks.    the  feeling  of  never  wanting  something  to  end.    beach  days.    the  lone  blow  up  floaty  left  in  the  pool.    drifting  with  the  warm  nights  breeze  and  nothing  else.    music  blasting  at  three  am.   loud  and  proud.    palm  trees  on  sunset  boulevard.    longer  days  and  shorter  nights.    wanderlust.    nights  spent  staring  at  the  stars.    sand  castles.    road  trips.    blood  orange  sunsets.    leaving  the  laundry  to  hang  outside.   flowers  in  bloom.    sneaking  out  of  your  room  late  at  night.    pure  contentment.    barefoot  in  the  sand.    the  street  lights  coming  on.    the  sound  of  the  ocean  in  a  seashell.   freshly  squeezed  lemonade.    loose  clothing.    a  cannonball  into  the  pool.   sunflowers.    the  hazy  pink  before  dusk.    relaxation.
FALL.          the  leaves  changing  colours.    a  heavy  backpack.    the  smell  of  old  books.    eating  until  you’re  stuffed.    deep,  dark  woods.    the  silence  in  loudness  (  the  loudness  in  silence  ).    abandoned  houses.    ripped  jeans.    crunching  leaves  beneath  feet.   feeling  like  you’ve  been  somewhere  before.    sitting  at  a  bay  window.    having  endless  amount  of  work.    charcoal  drawings.    screaming  into  a  pillow  as  loud  as  you  can.    pumpkin  patches.    creaky  floorboards.    accepting  that  some  things  do  have  to  change.    museums.   small  talk.    being  ignored.    procrastinating.   a  door  slamming  shut.   going  to  bed  early.    baking  pies.    the  fear  of  walking  alone  in  the  dark.    feeling  completely  and  terribly  lost.    a  twig  snapping.    crisp,  cool  days.    belly  laughter  after  crying.    converse.   foggy  mornings  at  the  shoreline.    writing  a  daily  entry  in  a  journal.    a  lonely  day.

It is this beat that keeps me up at night. The pulse that’s strung along my bones. The ruminations of my heart - Pounding out its nightmare in my head. And, oh how many times, I have wished that I was dead.

Tumblr media
@fairestfall​ asked: What does your character like in other people? What does your character dislike in other people?
                    𝖑𝖎𝖐𝖊𝖘.     honesty.     compassion.     strength of will.     flexibility.    being able to read a room.     understanding.     wit.     being able to take a joke.     novelty ;   refusing to conform.     seeing things for the big picture.     himself  ( as in his dick ).     also their blood.
                    𝖉𝖎𝖘𝖑𝖎𝖐𝖊𝖘.     backstabbing.     being easily offended.     taking themselves too seriously.     piousness.     radical beliefs that hurt others.     persecution.     irrationality.     allowing fear to drive their actions.     pettiness.     mindlessly following status quo.
Tumblr media
How quick is your character to trust someone else?
                    not very quickly at all.     mitchell is,  as a rule,  quite approachable and personable ;   but he gives very little of himself upon first pass,  or second pass,  or third pass,  because opening up to people always leaves him with more scars than he started out with.     people he trusts always end up dead,  or abandoning him due to his condition,  or using him as a means to their own end :   annie and george are the exception,  not the rule.     mitchell has learned to play his cards close to his chest while still being a generally outgoing and considerate man,  to avoid betraying his inner monster.
Tumblr media
How does your character behave around children?
                    mitchell fucking loves kids.     for the most part,  kids are open-minded and genuine ;   they haven’t been twisted into something foul by the world.     despite the ample amount of life force in their veins,  their relative innocence tends to keep his bloodlust at bay,  so he’s more comfortable being around them than their parents.     plus they have no filter ;   they speak their minds without concept of their actions,  which mitchell finds both hilarious and endearing.

@wordbound​ asked: Has your character ever been bitten by an animal? How were they affected (or unaffected)?
                    lol does herrick count?     if so then yes,  and it turned him into a  FERAL LITTLE MAN.     if not,  then still yes ;   mitchell’s been attacked by dogs many times throughout his long life,  though dog bites don’t really do much to harm a vampire.
Tumblr media
What is/was your character’s relationship with their mother like? What is/was your character’s relationship with their father like?
                    𝖒𝖔𝖙𝖍𝖊𝖗.     mitchell adored her,  and she him.     he was only a bit of a mama’s boy ;   the no-nonsense hand of his father made sure he grew away from his mother’s doting as soon as it was prudent.     still,  she encouraged him to be himself,  regardless of what his mates in school thought ;   and she wept profusely when he left home for the front lines.     she grew old and passed away thinking that her boy had died on the battlefield ;   mitchell travels to wexford every five years or so to place flowers on her grave.
                    𝖋𝖆𝖙𝖍𝖊𝖗.     a well-respected fellow about wexford,  who was,  as was custom for the time,  a strict man who expected much out of his son,  and had named his son after himself.     mitchell admired him,  looked up to him as he’d never looked up to anyone before or since ;   and even though mitchell was an odd boy,  his father treated him with stern kindness.     like his mother,  mitchell’s father aged and died believing his son had passed before him ;   to this day,  mitchell is loath to be called john,  purely because it reminds him of his father and his passing.

           BOOK STARTERS VOL.57    THE SHINING    STEPHEN KING
❛ Sometimes human places create inhuman monsters. ❜
❛ I’m not gonna hurt ya. I’m just going to bash your brains in. ❜
❛ Monsters are real. Ghosts are too. They live inside of us, and sometimes, they win. ❜
❛ The world’s a hard place. It doesn’t care. It doesn’t hate you and me, but it doesn’t love us, either. ❜
❛ The tears that heal are also the tears that scald and scourge. ❜
❛ Pull your act together and just go on. ❜
❛ I had never dreamed there could be so much pain in a life when there is nothing physically wrong. I hurt all the time. ❜
❛ Tough old world, baby. If you’re not bolted together tightly, you’re gonna shake, rattle, and roll before you turn thirty. ❜
❛ Are you sure self-pity is a luxury you can afford? ❜
❛ Truth comes out. In the end it always comes out. ❜
❛ Living by your wits is always knowing where the wasps are. ❜
❛ No matter where you go, the same asshole gets off the plane. ❜
❛ We sometimes need to create unreal monsters and bogies to stand in for all the things we fear in our real lives. ❜
❛ That’s your job in this hard world, to keep your love alive and see that you get on, no matter what. ❜
❛ Human nature, baby. Grab it and growl. ❜
❛ God wiped snot out of his nose and that was you. ❜
❛ Run away. Quick. And remember how much I love you. ❜
❛ How many times, over how many years, have I—a grown adult—asked for the mercy of another chance? ❜
❛ I was suddenly so sick of myself, so revolted. ❜
❛ You listen to me. I’m going to talk to you about it this once and never again this same way. ❜
❛ But those pieces, they’ll never fit just the same way again. Never in this world. ❜
❛ Dying is a part of living. You have to keep tuning in to that if you expect to be a whole person. ❜
❛ Officious little prick. ❜
❛ I’ve been sleepwalking again, my dear. — The plants are moving under the rug. ❜
❛ How I wish you were fear. ❜
❛ But it was a dreadful kind of curiosity, the kind that makes you peek through your fingers during the scariest parts of a scary movie. ❜
❛ All we have is time, you know. An eternity of time. Or shall we end it? Might as well. After all, we’re missing the party. ❜
❛ We all remember our pleasant dreams more clearly than the scary ones. ❜
❛ The way things should be and the way things are hardly ever get together. ❜
❛ Got to be regular if you want to be happy. ❜

That thing maimed me - and sat there, curled, gripping my heart in its claws. It said - ‘No, you won’t come back the way you came.’ And ‘No, you will never be the same.’…'I put a hole through your chest- I am the name on your crooked legs. You might smile a pretty smile, but I am the blood on your teeth.’

TAGGED  BY : stole from @tharanduil​​!! TAGGING :  @seidrborn​​.   @wordbound​​.   &  YOU.
Tumblr media
—    BASICS.
▸     IS    YOUR    MUSE    TALL    /    SHORT    /    AVERAGE ?
                    he’s an incredibly boring 5′10.
▸      ARE    THEY    OKAY    WITH    THEIR    HEIGHT ?
                    yeah,  it’s just the right height for  his full-time unpaid job.
▸      WHAT’S    THEIR    HAIR    LIKE ?
                    its on the long side for male stereotypes,  coming to about halfway down the back of his neck.     its pitch fuckin black and quite curly / wavy.     he usually wears it down and messy;   he barely brushes it, and he washes it sparingly because he’s number one good time nasty boye.
▸     DO    THEY    SPEND    A    LOT    OF    TIME    ON    THEIR    HAIR     /    GROOMING ?
                    when you can’t see your own reflection,  it’s hard to spend a lot of time grooming.     most of his appearance is pure guesswork.
▸      DOES   YOUR   MUSE   CARE   ABOUT   THEIR   APPEARANCE   /   WHAT    OTHERS    THINK ?
                    mitchell has a complicated relationship with his appearance.     he only knows what he can see in semi-reflective surfaces  ( cars, windows, water ),  and every now and then,  he’ll think to himself  ‘good lord,  i look homeless’.     he’s also been around the block enough to know that half of a person’s identity is their appearance,  so when he can afford to,  he’ll clean himself up and try to make a matching outfit that’s somewhat appealing.     but so much of his appearance is  function not fashion,  as a vampire has to wear many layers out during the day;   so eight times out of ten,  he doesn’t give a shit how he looks because it’s how he  has  to look.     plus,  people tell him he’s hot no matter what he wears or when the last time was that he washed his hair,  so why waste time on actual effort when it comes naturally?
—    PREFERENCES.
▸     INDOORS    OR    OUTDOORS ?     indoors,  because of that whole  sunlight  thing. ▸     RAIN    OR    SUNSHINE ?     really?     rain. ▸     FOREST    OR    BEACH ?     forest.     beaches hold too much temptation. ▸     PRECIOUS    METALS    OR    GEMS ?      precious metals. ▸     FLOWERS    OR    PERFUMES ?     perfume. ▸     PERSONALITY    OR    APPEARANCE ?     they taste the same. ▸     BEING    ALONE    OR    BEING    IN    A    CROWD ?     in a crowd. ▸     ORDER    OR    ANARCHY ?     depends.     mitchell is old enough to know there’s a time and a place for both. ▸     PAINFUL    TRUTHS    OR    WHITE    LIES ?     depends on who’s telling them. ▸     SCIENCE    OR    MAGIC ?     yes. ▸     PEACE    OR    CONFLICT ?     peace,  when he can get it. ▸     NIGHT    OR    DAY ?     night. ▸     DUSK    OR    DAWN ?     dusk. ▸     WARMTH    OR    COLD ?     warmth. ▸     MANY   ACQUAINTANCES    OR    A    FEW    CLOSE    FRIENDS ?     a few close friends is definitely safe and preferred,  but he moves and shakes. ▸     READING    OR    PLAYING    A    GAME ?     playing a game.     waddington’s  the vampire game  is a favorite of his.
—    QUESTIONNAIRE.
▸      WHAT    ARE    SOME    OF    YOUR    MUSE’S    BAD    HABITS ?
                    he’s a profound liar,  sometimes to protect other people but usually to protect  himself.     swears.     blasphemes.     loves to get shit-faced;   hates being hungover after.     smokes like a chimney.     has indiscriminate sex.     and there’s the whole  killing people for their blood  thing.
▸      HAS    YOUR    MUSE    LOST    ANYONE    CLOSE    TO    THEM ?      HOW    HAS    IT    AFFECTED    THEM ?
                    mitchell has lost  ( in some cases,  killed )  many close friends in his long life.     he had to watch from the sidelines as his beloved parents withered and eventually died of old age;   he killed one of his closest friends,  arthur hanley,  less than a month after becoming a vampire;   he killed and then recruited,  and eventually staked,  his lover lauren drake;   but the death he has taken the hardest was that of his first lover and sobriety companion,  josie hunter.     as she gave her blood to save his life,  his continued existence without her has been incredibly painful,  and he thinks about her daily.     
                    mitchell copes with loss in silence;   every one he’s endured has shaped his ever-changing humanity,  sometimes tempering him into the kind person he wants to be,  sometimes pushing him closer to being the mass-murdering vampire he was in his past.
▸      WHAT    ARE    SOME    FOND    MEMORIES    YOUR    MUSE    HAS ?  
                    mitchell’s memories,  no matter how fond,  are almost always tinged with blood;   sometimes they’re even fond  because  of the blood.     the nights spent in the clifton hotel with josie are some of the few that he can look at with happiness no matter his mindset.     his first time meeting annie is also an untainted memory that he fondly looks back on;   meeting george,  though it was in a dark place with horrible circumstances,  is something he is forever grateful for.
▸     IS    IT    EASY    FOR    YOUR    MUSE    TO    KILL ?
                    YES.     in fact,  it’s easier for mitchell to kill than it is for him  not  to.     it takes incredible amounts of resolve and self-control for him not to give in to the homicidal monster lurking just beneath his skin.     as a person,  he’s far from murderous,  with his dazzling smile and generally amicable nature,  but his vampire instincts are constantly at war with this persona.     mitchell’s daily life is a struggle between his id  ( his vampire self ),  his ego  ( his human self ),  and his superego  ( his conscience ):   and more than fifty percent of the time,  the id wins and his superego has to check into a witness protection program.
▸      WHAT’S    IT    LIKE    WHEN    YOUR    MUSE    BREAKS    DOWN ?
                    DEAR LORD RUN.     there’s almost always yelling;   if there isn’t,  run faster.     homicide is a fair possibility, too:   usually when he’s emotionally unsettled is when the beast gets through.     there is one silver lining though:   during a breakdown is when mitchell is his most honest,  so if you can endure the yelling and potential homicide,  you might be able to get some truthful answers out of him.
▸      IS    YOUR    MUSE    CAPABLE    OF    TRUSTING    SOMEONE    WITH    THEIR    LIFE ?
                    mitchell doesn’t place a lot of value on his own life,  as its pretty hard to take away from him;   but the unshakable trust he has in george and annie means that yes,  he’s more than willing to put his life in their hands.     as for nina,  mitchell trusts her  anger,  trusts that she’ll fight to protect him if she’s mad enough at the other person;   but he doesn’t doubt that she would trade in his life for george’s without a second thought.
▸      WHAT’S    YOUR    MUSE    LIKE    WHEN    THEY’RE    IN    LOVE ?
                    a simpering idiot,  to be honest.     if someone catches his eye  ( as something other than a meal or a quick fuck ),  mitchell tends to be immensely kind and giving,  if not a little on the sappy side.     he’s devoted and adventurous,  ever the debonair gentleman,  and will stop at nothing to keep the person he loves from coming to any harm ... especially from  himself.
                    mitchell’s relationship with love is strained and complex;   he craves it more than almost anything,  but is frightened of it and the intense feelings it draws from him.     love holds hands with sex,  which holds hands with  murder  for mitchell:   as such,  he’s more than happy to have one night stands with strangers he’s not opposed to killing,  whereas he tends to hold his lovers at arms’ length to protect them from himself,  at least until some sort of compromise about his condition is reached.     so many of his human lovers end up dead,  or abandoning him when his condition is revealed,  that mitchell has all but given up on love.     it’s better for everyone, really:   everyone except for his dead bed partners, that is.
