playing Astarion's romance and rewatching Vanitas has given me so many vampire writing thoughts--
#important question. in a vampire situation would caleb or molly let the other drink their blood--#it makes me so soft to think about relationships with astar that begin with you trusting him enough to take that step almost immediately#but also. theres just something very compelling to me about the iconic vnc scene where noe nearly begs and. as close as they are.#vanitas looks him in the eye and says if he tries to drink his blood he'll kill him--(the fact that he's saying it for noes sake too#that it seems to be something he truly has no control over. that they're both at risk of lashing out and hurting the other if they're#not careful--)#anyway--#thinking about how so much of molly's power is tied to blood. how in the orders it was a common practice for lucien and the rest of#the blood hunters to mix their blood together and drink it. the way lucien gives cree a necklace with his blood in it#that she considers sacred--#lucien would drink caleb's blood no problem he was already doing that with the tombtakers. no vampirism required--#but I think in something like a vampire situation molly would be more hesitant. more worried about losing control---especially if he#associates all those powers and that hunger with lucien--#I think caleb would probably. try to make deals with people for some of their blood. would probably be starving a lot of the time and#molly would happily help him--#in the reverse. I feel like caleb would probably refuse to let anyone drink his blood. as a matter of holding onto his autonomy--#anyway!! blood hunter orders are very fun I feel like they lend themselves well to these kinds of AUs since they're already#so thematically similar to vampires--#this is just silly self indulgent ramblings I just think vampires are fun

BLOODBATH
Tumblr media
Yknow what i just realized. CaterpillarOS is, uh, a giant robot caterpillar. Khole is a weird mix of species but yeah there’s no way he’d win that fight. 
Aint no fucking way Neil would loose to a blind girl. She has the power of accuracy but is smaller and younger than Neil. He’d rip her to shreds!!
HOW DID PHINEAS SET KETRILL ON FIRE LMAO
DAY 01
Tumblr media
I like to think she read him, ironically, one of the brother’s grimms books. It’d be so funny for various reasons. 
NNOOO MARY 😭 say goodbye to our only licensed nurse everyone…
uuuuhhh something something phineas in the wrong paracosm. insert joke about d//c or para!jervis here.
Interesting team up! No idea why Eddie would work with Loyd since that’s his father and they hate each other. Same with Stacy, she hates Eddie bc that’s her dad. I fully believe Prism and Lucy are being held captive here, folks.
Accurate !!! sorry rosemary BUT ALSO. WOW. I CANNOT OVERSTATE HOW ACCURATE THIS IS OH MY GOD??? GIRL HOW DID YOU LIVE OUT YOUR TALE ALL THE WAY OUT HERE IM SCREAMING. also wow accurate for Neil too. Killing another innocent child, I see. At least this one’s intentional!
Our fallen tributes are: CaterpillarOS, Ketrill Hyde, Mary Crowley, Rosemary Glazier.
NIGHT 01
Tumblr media
Bee! Don’t kill the bunny!! But fair lol
Debating on if Neil would keep a victim alive. I think for a little bit, for the psychological torment. He always liked to play with his food. 
That is a VERY tense truce lmao, Stacy hates basically everyone Eddie is associated with, which includes the Crowley Family bc ooo boy, that family is a Certified Mess.
Luce 🤝 Phineas: ripped away from their home at a young age thanks to a random dimension portal. Not the same case here but wow I never noticed that. 
DAY 02
Nothing interesting to note.
Our fallen tributes are: Marzipan Velveteen, Phineas Glazier
NIGHT 02
Tumblr media
Khole winning is just…perfect. All 3 have to do with experimentation (Khole & Neil are from the same lab/facility/organization, actually!) but Khole was made first, both in a story context and meta context. So. yeah. Older Sibling Rights.
TWIN TEAM UP HELL YEAH!!!!
Either Orion or Eddie is winning those ghost stories bc Orion knew Aurelia, and she worshiped the god of fear, while Eddie knows Jonathan, Aurelia’s descendant and uses fear in his villain schemes. Then again, Bee is literally a demon, so….
YAY STACY!!! sorry loyd just…sucks lmao fuck outta here
DAY 03
Nothing interesting to note.
ARENA EVENT
Tumblr media
Our fallen tributes are: Victor West, Neil O’Brian, Loyd Nixon, Reign Blanc, Orion Guerrero, Luciana Potenza, Khole Banner, Vincent Hyde, Thackery Velveteen. Only 9 people left!

Nothing interesting to note for DAY 04 & NIGHT 04.
Our fallen tributes are: Benjamin Graves, Lucien Jekyll.
Nothing interesting to note for DAY 05 & NIGHT 05.
DAY 06: Eddie dies by accidentally drinking his own poison. Get wrecked, idiot.
NIGHT 06: Prism bashes Alex’s head in. Get his ass!!
Nothing interesting to note for DAY 07, NIGHT 07, & DAY 08.
NIGHT 08: Stacy poisons Prism. Lucy dies from thirst.
Stacy wins!! Wow. Fucking lame as shit I don’t even like her. Wish she stayed wherever the fuck she was before moving to Prism Pulse. Whatever! Realistically speaking she would’ve been killed way back at that random family reunion thing. Yes, by Eddie. he would’ve killed his own daughter. what of it.

You were made by the men around you, but you have never been one to stand behind them. You were born the youngest of six to a man who had devoted his life to the shadows and narrow alleyways of Paris, a crooked finger and hushed words as comforting as a lullaby would be to another child. You, rather than your older brothers, were chosen to be groomed as the next ruler of your family organisation; your father understood the glint in your eyes, the curl of your lip, and he knew that you were made for such a job. You studied and bided your time, clutching his arm as your heels clicked on the ground as a teenager accompanying him to meetings, presented as his little Queen. The men would fawn and stare, their eyes betraying your thoughts, but you refused to look away. 'You’ll rule them all,' your father had whispered in your ear, and you simply smiled in agreement. By the time you were in your twenties, he was six feet under and you were crowned. Love came soon after, falling head over heels for a man who was too good of heart to truly be led astray into your world, although you tried. You tried so hard to be the wife you thought he needed, giving him a son and playing the part as well as you could. However, soon enough, you slipped and Raoul was born. He accepted the boy well enough, and it only caused your heart to bleed deeper when he finally succumbed and left you. Still, you did not cry. You simply clutched your boys closer to your chest and looked towards the future.
Years on, you’ve grown and conquered and remained at the top of the pyramid, overseeing everything with a firm eye. You’re not heartless, despite what people may think when they see your regal appearance and flinching gaze; you simply do not suffer fools. You’ve never been one to go out of your way for someone until they’ve proven themselves to you, but once they do, you’re entirely loyal. Yet before anything, you’re thinking of your sons. Philippe, with his cruel words and his emotionless stare pushing you away as you try to reach out, unable to carry him out of the frozen woods of his mind. Raoul, with his heart of gold and reckless nature, who finally returned to you after years leaving your mind set with worry and fear. You have them together once more, something you dreamed of; you can keep them both safe. Yet there’s never a moment where you truly feel at ease. Safety is a luxury you refuse to allow yourself, even in the rare moments when the sun shines and you can feel something thawing inside you. Safety leads to naked vulnerability, and that was what can lead to your demise, as it did your husband. For him, you will be strong. For him, you will roar.

PHILIPPE CHANEY
He wasn’t planned, and they all gasped when you announced your decision to keep him, as young as you were. Yet holding him in your arms, you had felt nothing but an overwhelming and primal urge to protect, to love this innocent treasure who clung to you like you were the one thing they needed to survive. You never felt you could be a mother, but the love you felt for him through the years only seemed to grow and grow, and with him, you became an entirely new person. Someone soft, someone gentle. Someone who could keep something so precious and pure safe and loved. That was what you had believed, telling yourself even as things became more chaotic and you saw him fall deeper and deeper into your world. You knew you should have been happy, but there was something breaking inside you, and seeing him unable to meet your eyes with nothing but a numbed fury, you would do anything to go back.
RAOUL CHANEY
Born out of an affair, you knew he was your chance to redo your mistakes with Philippe. You indulged him, you spoiled him absolutely rotten, and in return he gave you a smile that could light an entire city and hugged you so tightly you forgot how to breathe. You wanted to protect him entirely from your world, someone so good-hearted and joyful, someone who would eventually lose the awe in his voice and become as tainted as his brother. You were secretly grateful when he left Paris, even though it ate you from the inside out to hear of his tales. Now with Raoul returned and in your arms once more, your golden boy, you can’t quite quench the feeling that something is going to go wrong with him. He’s too aggressive, too mismatched to the cold and clinical world of their life. You smile and see him off, trying to be happy for him, but the worry remains, growing like ivy in your stomach.
RICHARD FIRMIN
A puppy dog in a grown man’s body, clad in designer suits and staring at you as if he would lay his life down for you in an instant. You’re used to people regarding you as a ruler, as royalty in their eyes. Even those in your inner circle see you as something that you’re not, and Richard Firmin is one of those people. You see how his eyes follow you around the room, how he leaps to his feet to help you with a flick of your fingers. You can only smile and raise a perfectly groomed eyebrow; it never stops being amusing, having such power over weak men. Despite the many lovers you’ve taken in recent years, feeding a hunger recognised in one another, you can’t help but welcome his constant presence. You enjoy the attention, and the fawning, as irritating as Philippe and Raoul may find him and his partner at times. While you’d easily dispose of the man should the time come, for the moment, you’re pleased enough to indulge him.
THIS CHARACTER HAS A NON-FLEXIBLE FACECLAIM AND IS TAKEN BY RILEY

Strength VIII
Words: 626
Prince Formage, Pillar of our City.
Strong comes in many forms. For vampires physical strength comes easy. Age makes our muscles more malleable and powerful than most humans could ever wish to be. Combined with our ability to push our blood into our sinew and twinned with our voracious Hunger it wasn't hard to be strong. It was much harder to be in control.
Strength is different. To have the strength to deal with almost a hundred and thirty ego filled vampires – that was something else. That terrible duty fell to fell to one man. Only one person was the head of our city, the person behind the masquerade. His name was Lucien Formage, Clan Ventrue, Head of the Invictus and Prince of San Amaro. Our ruler and negotiator.
Everything was stacked against Formage yet he had held onto this city for the past five years with grace and patience. He was young for a Prince too, which made it all the harder dealing with those that were his elder in the blood. But this was what he had been trained to do.  And he did it in away that made it feel like he was controlling anything. We had a huge amount of Kindred in our city, too many by almost three fold. How did Formage deal with this? Blood Hunts and kicking everyone out and forcing them to find new cities? No he used his business savvy to make this city strong enough to carry us. He invested heavily in it and it benefited us and the humans around us. He gave us opportunity.
When we stood with a Kindred that had suffered so much, that had been twisted and hurt and used as a weapon by our enemies, he listened. Many others would have been killed Waters just by association but he weighed to our reasoning with a judge's mind. Formage could have put him to death through fear but instead extended a hand to the traumatized Gangrel, and offered him a chance to be a constructive member of our society. Some would view that as weakness but it was compassion. It was giving trust in us and that spoke to me of strength.
Formage had a tough job, listening to much of the moaning and back biting of our city. But he did listen, no matter clan or covenant. It would have been easy to give the roles of Hounds to Ventrue or Invictus but he chose us. Our troupe, our little motley band, was a stroke of genius in my opinion if you looked closely enough.
Myself and Benny were Mekhet, and had the least voice of any clan. Gio was Nosferatu, again largely unrepresented but strong and had the most resolve of anyone I personally knew. Tara and Dee were both Gangrel who had more of a say but were from wildly different backgrounds. Tara had the Ordo which gave the Sheriff an easy ally. Dee and Benny were unaligned, normally seen as a dangerous element with the fear of another Carthian rebellion, giving them a voice meant those who were in the same position had someone to speak to without fear of being forced into a group.  Gio and myself were from the Crone and one thing vampires had were long memories. Our covenant was still tarred from going against the city and joining the rebellion. All of us represented voices that were harder to hear over the masses of Ventrue, Invictus, Daeva and Lancea. It was a stroke of genius in my opinion, careful consideration and understanding.
I respected Formage for his strength and his ability. I knew it would be tested soon but I believed he would find the right course. He would see us through, I don' think anyone else could.
