[depraveddame]

feels like fake news

[alisavonvamalia]

Honestly thinking about deleting my divine rivals Lars x Alisa AU and just writing a historical journalism AU not based on the book.

Idk I wanna be more imaginative and not use an already existing book as foundation for my fic.

[alisavonvamalia]

Really wanted to write a fic from Lars's POV but then I remembered that I actually need a plot...which I do not have.

Random headcanons for my vampire girlies (Part 1/5)

Alisa

Has a bellybutton piercing (hear me out)

She's a bit of a nerd, okay? So you cannot tell me this girl doesn't collect jewellery. She has a huge collection, all in some beautiful painted jewellery box (rings, bracelets, earrings, necklaces, anklets, you name it she has it). So one day she was like, damn maybe I'm missing something, I should get another piercing (she has her ears done already).

Call it impulse but this girl is determined. She leaves the house like normal, goes to the nearest place she can to get this piercing, because she's sure as hell not changing her mind. And then boom, she has her belly button pierced.

Also one day I like to think Fanny finds out and is super shocked because she has hers pierced but Alisa never mentioned that she has one too?? Who would've thought that the perfect, pristine girl has a piercing anywhere except her ears? (her grandma was pissed though, not that she cares). Anyway now they buy, borrow and trade each other's jewellery like they're involved in some drug selling business (everyone else is super confused).

Random headcanons for my vampire girlies (Part 2/5)

Ivy

Is the baker/chef friend of the group

You know the whole stereotype about most people being good at either baking or cooking? Well Ivy I'd amazing at both. This girl is always experimenting with new recipes and using her friends as taste testers (not that they're complaining).

Stressed? Chocolate fudge cake. Sad? Strawberry cream puffs. Tired? The best carrot cake you've ever tasted.

The others are literally requesting things from her. This is like some illegal side business as everyone tries to bribe her to bake for them without the others finding out (they go crazy realising someone went behind their back).

Especially when Alisa is pregnant or her and Lars are new parents, Ivy is dropping food off for them every day so they don't stress. She's got fresh bread and the best chicken noodle soup ever.

love triangle thoughts

so here's my frustrations about the love triangle between alisa, lars, and nicu - despite my usual absolute annoyance with love triangles as a trope, i did want to like this one because i thought there was more of a storytelling purpose here. alisa is not only picking between two boys, but picking between her vampiric side (lars) and her human side (nicu). but the way it played out didn't work for me, and here's why.

disclaimer: i love lars, he was the one i was rooting for, so i'm happy with the outcome! but this is about the writing choices made around the love triangle. also don't take this too seriously because i'm probably thinking way too deeply about this.

to examine the love triangle, i think it's important to step back and put it in context. the overarching conflict is whether dracula or alisa will be the one to untie the knot -- therefore plunging the world into darkness if it's dracula, or making all vampires lose their immortality and powers and making them human if it's alisa. but in the end, the conclusion is ultimately a third option alisa finds for herself: why not simply destroy the knot, instead of untying it? this way, vampires can stay immortal and keep their powers, and dracula will not take over for eternity. why go to either extreme?

and that's the endpoint of alisa's internal journey as well - all along she has felt like an outcast. from humans she has to hide her fangs, and from vampires she has to hide her beating heart. she doesn't know which side she really belongs to, but in the end, she realizes she belongs with the people who care about her regardless of any of that.

so with all that said, the natural, thematic conclusion for the love triangle would again be this: why choose? why not have both? why not accept both her human traits that make her stronger, as well as her vampire side? why not be with both nicu and lars?

in fact, a lot of the writing almost seems to point this way: the vamalia's family power is supposedly love, and while that's not properly expanded on in the story, it might be expanded to how alisa has so much love to give. when nicu and lars are both taken by dracula, alisa always insists that she's not saving one boy, but two. even lars, despite them kind of being together at the start of the second season, seems to give her permission upon realizing she has feelings for nicu, saying he won't make her choose (by the way he's much better than me for this, i would be crashing out if i were in his place). not to mention lars and nicu have their own relationship development, where they become something more than just rivals over alisa. i'm not sure if they would call themselves friends, but their relationship is clearly deep and important, and there is enough chemistry there to entertain the idea of a proper relationship between all three of them, not just alisa with each of the boys.

the cave trial where alisa can choose to save only one of the boys is the most telling to me, because the trial is connected to the conclusion with the knot. and as i mentioned before, with the knot, alisa must choose, but the real answer is a third option that she must make for herself. so like how she chooses to balance light and dark with the knot, it almost sets up the real answer is to the love triangle is to be with both nicu and lars.

so why didn't the story go that way?

okay, obviously, i know why - a show aimed at a younger audience at this present time is very unlikely to have a polyamorous relationship for the main couple(s). but the point i'm trying to make is exactly that: i don't think the love triangle was written well because if it won't go that way, it falls apart by making alisa choose. and to make her choose, there has to be a clearly "better" option, rather than an acceptance of what they both represent.

and for the record, i do think lars is the better option, so i'm happy with the endgame. frankly, i did not like nicu nor did i find his "connection" with alisa all that believable enough to root for their relationship at any point in the story. it's based on one meeting that's more insta-love than anything else, and also the fact that they both read lord byron. that's literally it. i also don't think nicu can truly see and accept alisa's vampire side - after initially finding out, he sees it as a betrayal. but even as he grows to accept it, he insists that she's more human, more like him than like lars. and frankly, after what happened with his mother, i think it makes a lot more sense for him to want to walk away and leave everything with vampires behind. if he and alisa did get together, she would probably constantly be stifling that part of herself.

but lars, despite his contempt for humans in the beginning, does soften and sees alisa's human side as being just as important as her vampire side. and when he tells her he loves her, he loves her for all that she is. also, it's notable to me that when she's confessing she doesn't know what will happen after she unties the knot, it's lars that she speaks to, even though nicu already knows who she is. it's lars who she knows will understand the complexity of being both vampire and human, despite how he cannot relate to her unique circumstance.

so ultimately, when alisa chooses lars, the love triangle becomes about choosing the person who sees all of you and accepts you for who you are, not just what they want you to be. and that's great for alisa's character arc, but at the same time, i'm not sure the writers were actually purposeful about it, and that's why i struggle with the love triangle.

if lars is the better option because he gives alisa space to be who she truly is, then it makes no sense to me that nicu's love for her is treated equally to lars's love by the narrative. over and over again, literally up until the very last minute, the story treats both relationships as equally plausible endgames. but with how the writers approached it, i don't know if they intentionally made lars and alisa endgame because they realized that they had the stronger relationship development and dynamic, or if they just flipped a coin.

at the same time, the fact that there is a "better" option loses sight of what the purpose of the love triangle was supposed to be: the representation of the conflict between alisa's vampire side and alisa's human side. alisa is not allowed both. and ultimately it becomes disconnected from the overall theme, of alisa finding another path for herself instead of choosing from what she is given.

to conclude, i don't necessarily think it was all bad. i think the concept of the love triangle was good, and there was potential, and i love that lars is the endgame choice. but the execution felt discordant. making alisa choose loses sight of the overarching narrative and themes, and the message of it works against the lessons the characters are supposed to take from solving the knot.

and so i return to the polyamory solution. for the record, i don't think polyamory is the solution to every fictional love triangle because most of the time it doesn't work for the characters. and to be honest, this is not something i even personally want because i did not like nicu enough. but i do think it would have made the most sense story-wise for this love triangle. and if a polyamorous endgame was never on the table, it would have been better to not have a love triangle at all, and only focus on lars as the primary love interest.

[alisavonvamalia]

I also am not a fan of love triangles especially when it's obvious who the person will end up with. I think as you said since it's aimed at a younger audience, they couldn't choose the polyamory route (don't know how I feel about that lmao) but also I think the writers definitely knew that Lars and Alisa were end game from the start.

Personally I think they added a love triangle for conflict as well as the storyline, while knowing that Nicu was never really an option.

Why do I think this? Well Nicu is a human, so he's mortal. He's going to die. It's not really clear whether Alisa is immortal but we can assume that she would love much longer than him even if she wasn't. She'd have to hide that part of herself forever and other humans would obviously be suspicious.

Plus they kind of made him intentionally less likable than Lars as Alisa shared way more important scenes with him than she did with Nicu.

Anyways it's always nice to meet another person from this nonexistent fandom!

[mysteryofvampires]

Another Papa Lars thought:

His and Alisa’s child always curling up in his lap when they are scared because they know that he would protect them from everything.

Lars finding out about that and realising that he did everything right because he never felt safe with his father when he was little.

@alisavonvamalia

[alisavonvamalia]

Aww this is so sweet!

Hw would definitely be so happy when he realised his child feels safe with him and he's broken the cycle of abuse.

love how haymitch enjoys a good yap session and katniss can't bare telling us anything except what the person is

Haymitch: He has two siblings, one girl one boy, he was born at exactly 2:34 am on a spring morning when the moon was in this exact position, his father has been working in the mines since 18.5 and his mother bakes pies, specifically uses strawberries from the 15th of may.

Katniss: hes..human

[starrynightsxo]

saw someone say "plutarch heavensbee they could never make me form a solid opinion on you" and I felt that.

The Covey:

[alisavonvamalia]

Nurse!Alisa x Firefighter!Lars

@mysteryofvampires do you see the vision??

[alisavonvamalia]

“Do you understand the violence it took to become this gentle?”

Alisa holding her babies in her arms for as long as she can because they'll grow up eventually, and she won't be able to protect them anymore.

Lars telling his children how much they mean to him so they never doubt that he loves them.

Alisa showing her children unconditional love and making sure no one ever raises a hand to them.

Alisa and Lars being the parents that broke the chain of hurt and abuse, and despite everything they've been through, it never gets in the way of their family.

[mysteryofvampires]

Alisa and Lars becoming parents. The resentment of the elders because their child will be the first with mixed blood, the first vampire from two clans.

Alisa being scared of becoming a mother because what if her child has to suffer like her? What if it gets a heart too? What if it will be hated for what it is? Her hoping that it will be more vampire than human for its own sake. Alisa hoping for a son, because she wants to fulfill the clan's expectations and has the hope that her child will be seen primarily as Lars' heir and not the chosen one's daughter.

Lars being afraid of fatherhood because what if he turns out like his father and uncle? Him wishing for a daughter, because he's especially afraid of being in his father's position. Him hoping for their child to have Alisa's heart because it's his favourite sound in the whole world. Him hoping that their child will get more of her than of him, because for him she embodies everything good while he is just a total disappointment.

Them both facing their fears together and raising their child(ren) with the love they both never really had. Them loving them unconditionally no matter how they turn out in the end. Them loving and helping each other. Them not caring what anybody says, them being proud and supportive parents.

Them finally living happily ever after because they both deserve it!

[alisavonvamalia]

In my fics they have twins (1 boy, 1 girl) and I always headcanon that they have the typical Dracas look (blonde hair, blue eyes) which adds to the angst because Alisa's grandma sees them as only Lars's children since they look like him, whereas his dad and clan see them as Alisa's due to her being the chosen one and half human.

It would also be interesting if they inherited anything from their human side (I guess they're 1/4 human?) Maybe not the heart, but like they can dream or cry.

But don't worry @mysteryofvampires, Fanny is ready to beat up anyone who is rude to her niece and nephew.

[boycottxxlove]

my dream as a fanfic writer is for one day, one of my fics to be someones comfort fic. like the fic that they reread when they don't feel good and want to be happy. i want my words to comfort someone one day

[alisavonvamalia]

I really like the em dash (—) and want to use it more in my writing but keep seeing things about it being used in AI writing and don't want people to think I'm not writing myself.

It's really sad seeing a literal piece of punctuation get reduced to always being used in AI. My beloved em dash. I'll use it if I'm brave enough, or I'll keep overusing commas.
