I'm a diablerist when I'm bumpin' that
Idk why just wanted to rant about my character that I rp as in my VTM campaign
Soooo our chronicle set in San Francisco 70's started about three years ago and only now finishes (because it's impossible to keep a stable schedule in WOD) and so I finally decided to revisit my character card that I made all the way back in 2022. Turns out, I didn't pay any attention when I was choosing the model from Pinterest back then (I didn't even want to have a real person's face, I wanted to just have male Toreador model from VTMB), because the model was... a photoshopped picture of Ashton Kutcher. Apparently I just didn't recognize him back then, because I didn't even watch any movies with him in my childhood, so this entire time I was playing as a sad anxiety-ridden bisexual Toreador with something that's severely reminding depression... with Ashton Kutcher's face. Now, he wasn't intended to be like this at first:
I love WOD, because it allows you to still have incredible fun, whilst subtly reminding you with its entire atmosphere that you are, in all actuality, fucked, and your existence – is already a tragedy. My character was an aspiring journalist who had a promising future, but stumbled across a Kindred-own gallery that he wanted to expose. He got Embraced by accident, because his sire suddenly felt attracted to him and decided to give him Embrace just so he wouldn't kill him. The relationship between them was as toxic as they come: with light and love slowly fading away from my guy's eyes (his name is Nate btw lol I just found it neatly fitting) while watching as his sire slowly but surely loses all interest in him, simultaneously abusing him both physically and emotionally, and betrays him at the end. At the end, from this golden retriever-type goofball you have a pile of bitterness, filled with angst worthy of Tumblrs golden age, that doesn't have anything it takes to be The Toreador™ (and doesn't want to) and is despised at best by his clanmates (half of which turned out to be Sabbat btw, so nobody cares about their opinion 💅).
I accidentally built him a bit weird for the clan I chose: instead of focusing on social/conversational stats, he is built like an offensive/tank, with him being our primary muscle that takes the most damage, until our Tremere is ready to crit all the enemies. Idk why I just didn't pick Brujah, since that's how I even play him: he's the most rebellious and hot-headed of our coterie, doesn't respect authorities, is liked by Anarchs and doesn't mind dropping the Camarilla if they piss him and his friends enough (only if the alternative pays off more, that is). The only thing he remotely has from the Toreadors is his clumsy and cringey attempts to flirt with absolutely every asshole trying to kill us and the fact that he has comically fragile ego with the worst mouth possible. Oh, and he doesn't like art, like, at all, because it reminds him of sire. Since I don't really know how to play as someone else than myself, I just didn't give him enough taste to appreciate anything neither classic nor alternative (he wears Adidas suits and is afraid to let go of his knife) – he's just a dude that's so terrified for his life that he sleeps with one eye open, but is dumb enough to wear his heart on his sleeve. But hey, nothing to worry about, since everyone already knows where he lives, his tiny ass studio apartment is a known thoroughfare for everyone in the Camarilla, the Anarchs, the Sabbat, and even for his current Giovanni bf.
I honestly didn't even like him at first, but when I made him a backstory he started growing on me... 🤕 Oh well.
insanely doomed yaoi
i barely make animatics cuz i literally completely forget about them after like 2 frames but hopefully i can start making longer ones in the future if i have motivation

Honestly be pretentious as fuck about the stuff you create. Do a press release for your fanfic updates. Do a Q&A about your webcomic. Make fake merch designs for your OCs. Commission "official" book covers. Very few of us will ever get to a stage where something we've created Makes It Big but even if you have an audience of 5 people plus a shoelace fucking indulge yourself and pretend!! It's the only way to live!!
Sauron, you will not deceive me. I have read the Silmarillion and I know that you were Morgoth's little princess and that you still love him.
it's so important to me that aegnor is the most beautiful ethereal elf you've ever seen and andreth is like. ok. no facial features that really grab anyone's attention
what draws aegnor to her is all the things about her that seem to contradict each other. the way she looks so at home in middle earth, so at one with the heather as her bed and the stars as jewels in her hair, when aegnor knows her fëa is not of middle earth. the way she is so young compared to him, yet the way she talks with such knowledge and heaviness, and the way her eyes hint at memory long before her years, but memory that weighs on her and lends wisdom and passion to her words all the same.
he cannot help but be bewitched by her, to try to make sense of her, while knowing every glance he steals of her in the still water of the lake brings him closer to his doom. he looks anyway
VTMB... 😔🥀⛓️⚰️💥
Remember kids, every npc is romanceable through the power of delusion
when i live in VTMB world i will eat the cereal COOOT OHOCULO and drink Liquid DemonSeed while reading my favorite magazines DEAD BIRD, Worm, and chin
Obsessed with vampires but specifically when they're really pathetic

It's so gorgeous I can't- 😭😭😭
Maybe I will clean it who knows
(324) Your name is Escapement. You picked it yourself, because when there's nobody else to assign significance to your existence, you might as well do it yourself.
You are a Decepticon vehicon.
You don't know much, but, contrary to what your commanding officer reckons, even vehicons do know some stuff. For instance, here's a list of vital information you knew this morning:
Life is not fair.
Extenuating circumstances, second chances and begging for your life are privileges for officers only. You're a grunt, so failure means death. The end.
Any mission to destroy Optimus Prime is a suicide mission from the start.
The Decepticon war machine doesn't pay you to ask questions or backtalk. (They don't pay you at all.)
And by midnight, you also know some totally new but equally vital information:
When Megatron assigns you a mission to kill Optimus Prime, you are absolutely, categorically, not actually meant to kill Optimus Prime.
But it's too late to be learning new information now, isn't it? Even your CO looks pitying when he tells you to report to Megatron for your reward...
I'm about to say something that got me roasted in the Cyrillic part of the transformers fandom but idc anymore I still stand by it, some of you guys are not ready for the conversation that you greatly overestimate the greatness of Tf Prime show because of your childhood memories and the majority of the fandom is absolutely shitty to RiD 2015 for no other reasons than "ew the picture is no longer turned up to contrast/saturation -210, how can I now pretend that I’m watching a serious show in transformers 😔⛓️🥀" and overall look like this:
Can you draw elder fairy? He's my favorite cookie

Our vtm campaigns have always been surviving just on these...

LIIIIIIIIIKE
THAT'S WHAT I WAS SAYING FOR YEARSSSS
I’ve always rly loved Jeremike as a ship at least how it exists in the modern FNAF fandom? Because it’s idk. Just so sweet to me. Jeremy is a non-character, he’s is all of our collective OC’s, born out of affection for Michael and a desire to give him companionship and like a buddy or true love or something. And then people take Jeremy and turn him into an interesting and compelling character with so many storylines to explore and he can really be whoever you want him to be and it’s just neat I like it a lot.
seasoned transformers fans waiting to explain 40 years worth of lore to a tf1 new fan who asks the name of a random bot standing in a crowd scene
It's always "World of darkness isn't supposed to be happy" this and "vampires are monsters" that. Wrong. Why be vampire if not to find eternal love??? Hmm??? HMMMM??! Check mate WOD.
Jerry and Mike being probably the most functional couple in Hurricane despite having been irrevrocably changed by the horrors is delightful. 'I see how you've changed and I love you anyway' type stuff.'I am willing to support you, you do not disgust, annoy, or scare me the way you're frightened you do' even. Love wins this once.
After spending what feels like a lifetime in my VtM echo chamber, looking at the other vampire media almost feels like blasphemy. You feel lost and confused like a mole crawling out into the sun (pun intended) for the first time. What do you mean, the concept of the Masquerade isn't even present most of the time? What do you mean, you don't have to wait patiently for about 20-30 years and then ask your local authorities permission to Embrace somebody?? Wait, there are no limits to siring??! And the sun might not even kill you??!?!
After rewatching the Darren Shan (Vampire's Assistant, 2009) movie, because what a fever dream it was, I can only say that – from an outsider's perspective, that is, I'm absolutely unfamiliar with the lore and the books – the ritual of Vampaneze blooding looks awfully like the Sabbat Vaulderie 🫢
Finally somebody who treats him like it's supposed to

*Putting him in my pocket* *Putting him in a dollhouse of the Venture Tower* *Feeding him little snacks (my Santino and Michael PNGs)* *Picking him up and putting him back where he started every time he runs towards the Ankaran Sarcophagus, like I’m trying to stop my cat from eating a piece of plastic off the floor*
My emo teenage self would never think I'd ever say something like this, but now, at my 21'st birthday, I'm so glad to be alive and still be here!! Still don't feel like I'm an adult now, but my parents said it'll come
