𝐈𝐓’𝐒 𝐈𝐍𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍. ind. writing blog for 𝐉𝐀𝐒𝐏𝐄𝐑 of the Talamasca series. show based. mutuals only. private. iconless. this blog will feature mature themes and triggering material, don't follow if you're under the age of 21. heavily affiliated with @clairaudievt
written by mara ( she / her, 25+ ). CARRD. BOARD. temp. rules under the cut.
PORTRAYAL. Show based. Jasper is not a book character, therefore all my characterization will be pulled from the Talamasca show. I will, however, take plenty of inspiration from the books and will sprinkle in my own canon divergence.
NOTE: It's highly unlikely I'll be writing a human Jasper unless we've discussed it beforehand. Please respect this.
ACTIVITY. A low activity blog for a reason. Things will be sporadic. Not only am I a slow writer, but my work doesn’t always allow me to be on here. Besides, RP is a hobby and will never take precedence over my personal life. Please respect that and be patient with me. I will never, ever rush you and I expect the same in return.
INTERACTIONS. I love memes/prompts! If we’re mutuals, feel free to send them anytime. Simply go through my tag and pick, they never "expire". Starter calls will rarely happen on this blog. And I do prefer to write in a para format, one-liners aren’t really my thing. This blog follows the age-old rule: If I follow you, I want to interact with you.
PLOTTING. Generally encouraged on this blog. I want our interactions to matter and be important to our characters and the plot.
FORMATTING. I use regular text, with some light formatting/styling and no icons.
SHIPPING. A multi-ship blog. Exclusivity will be applied to romantic ships (meaning, I will not be writing that ship with anyone else). No shipping with minor characters or muns, however, and every ship needs to be developed properly (IC and OOC). And please, please don’t force a ship on me.
NO TOLERANCE. Zero tolerance for hate, guilt-tripping, excessive negativity, or drama of any kind. I’m too old, too tired, and way too busy for all that.Thank you for reading my rules!

"What's that in human years?" He's proud of his joke, and as usual too quick with the wit, not enough body to absorb the aftershock of his own recklessness. He doesn't notice Jasper moving let alone approaching before he's right there beside him like an apparition, giving the poor boy's heart another run. "Jesus–!" Guy flinches, reflexively stepping away from the bar, holding his shoulders at a defensive angle whilst contemplating the offer. He glances between Jasper and the whiskey, swallows his curiosity about the blade, and takes a beat to come down from flight mode. "I'm fine."
It's not that he isn't tempted. It's that he doesn't trust a word that comes out of that mouth, slick smile open like a wound over sharp teeth, always an air of cocky indulgence about him. This was his place. Whatever had happened to the motherhouse, Guy couldn't tell, because Jasper had gone and rubbed himself all over every inch of the room. The carpet he treads barefoot, short sleeves in winter, the same decade of rock music on stereo, velvet drapes and a monster truck-load of yee-haw.
"So other than stopping time and sequestering people, what other tricks can you do?" Procuring a safe distance, Guy slowly wanders over to one of the red sofas, his hands emerging from his pockets to tangle in his lap as he takes a seat. "Must be really boring to live so long without the sun. You ever thought of getting one of those Lumie lights?" Might as well make Jasper regret keeping him.
“ alright. ” an indulgence on his part, and his eyes flick over the boy, over the sullen angles and deep shadows, his hair a tattered mess, knotted over untrusting eyes. ( it bleeds through: the fear, the uncertainty, the loss. and something sickeningly close to understanding slinks behind him like an abandoned mutt. a wound, a clotted mess of red, reopened every night. ) jasper leaves his mind intact, lets the boy have more rope than he deserves.
if this is a dance, it’s a delicate one.
“ i was born in 1906. if you want my birth certificate, you’re outta luck. that shit’s lost somewhere back in la paz. ” (el río choqueyapu, the dirt and moss, cicada shells in the windowsills, the smell of palo santo and industrial gas.) the vampire doesn’t linger long enough to watch guy’s reaction, but pours another drink, washes down the rancid taste of memories crawling up his mouth. he doesn’t remember much, not before mergu or the coven.
he doesn’t care to try.
instead, he laughs. a low, raspy sound, bare feet sinking into the overpriced rugs and carpets before he’s back in his spot, right across guy. the human, full of shit as he is, is at least entertaining. not a lot of that in the talamasca motherhouse.
“ sun’s overrated, gives you cancer. just ask owen. you know, the guy behind the big desk? ” grey eyebrows arch up, and he’s back to watching the boy like a hungry hawk. “ your mother. what’s her name? ”
What a fucking weirdo. Guy offers him a tight-lipped smile, wondering if this tangent is gonna lead anywhere or he just likes the sound of his own voice. Up at the penthouse, he declines a drink, way too paranoid to accept it after he'd been corralled into staying the night at the London Motherhouse. Jasper needs him to find the 752, but he's not yet convinced the vampire won't try to twist him and bend him to force his cooperation.
"Back in your day?" He takes a jab at the elder's age as he wanders around the room, his jacket still uncomfortably on, one hand occasionally leaving its pocket to fiddle with a trinket or aspect of decor. "How old are you anyway?" On and off he tries to dip into Jasper's train of thought – but unlike the others he's met so far, this one doesn't aggressively kick him out. Instead, he makes himself sparse. Like looking at an image reflected in water and watching it vanish the moment your finger dips in to grab it, ripples carrying off a million disjointed pieces. He shows no anger, leaves no light on.
"Desperate people do desperate things." Is this still about whiskey? Guy stops in front of the decanter, the empty glass left for him on the ornate table. He notices a switchblade inside the ice cup and pivots away, a sense of unease gripping him his stomach.
there is no mistaking it: the worm is crawling inside the fruit. and the vampire lets him, a pull, a tether, a good old plunge into the cold abyss. he will find nothing there, only a row of old doors and coffins nailed in great haste. blood and guts and moulder, a handful of cigarettes snuffed out on wet concrete.
jasper’s smile grows.
this is the same kind of pressure he felt a few nights ago, right outside the restaurant. only now, it wasn't as languid.
“ old enough to spot piss before i drink it. ” hardly any whiskey remains before he downs it all, nails drumming against crystal, a careless imitation of a beat that blazes somewhere at the back of the penthouse. and there is enough booze on the cart to sink a steer, courtesy of the oh-so generous motherhouse. but his eyes stay on the boy, the switchblade, on the empty cup abandoned beside.
( a line toed and crossed, the vampire's ticket, and a dying man’s last fucking hoorah. )
“ wanna taste? ” teeth, sharply cut, graze his lips and it takes a breath to swallow the room, a moment before he’s standing right by guy’s side.
“ come on, dude. ten years in a barrel. you might like it. ”
Request By; Anonymous - i'd like to ask you if you want to gif the part from ep4 where they're at the basement and jasper strokes guy's hair to see his injury
“ you know, people used to drink this shit poisoned. ” wood, char and smoke. a decade of waiting. and the liquid swirls in a lowball glass, catching the light. there is nothing exceptional about this specific batch, just your typical high-end office crap. the talamasca special. still, jasper savours the taste, tongue tracing each biting note as if he’s sampling blood. “ rotgut. industrial booze with a paint job. real gourmet stuff. ”
olive’s intel checked out; the boy threw himself on their doorstep as soon as the sun went down. a convincing narrative in his back pocket, too. and the vampire leans back in his chair, riveted not by this visit, but by each brazen attempt to reach his mind.
( a rattle of breaths and a drumming heart; unripe, unprepared. just a mouse caught in a trap. )
“ most of them didn’t even know what the fuck they were swallowing, and honestly? even if they did, i don’t think they would’ve cared. ” a beat. a smile. “kinda fucked up, don’t you think?” for my guy / @clairaudievt

01. this boy took me like a fever, idk what to tell you.
02. this is a mature & nsfw roleplay account. I’ll do my best to tag such posts as nsfw / as well as any trigger warnings as trigger tw.
03. I follow people I would love to interact with and whose writing I admire. I favour prose-heavy blogs.
04. excessive text formatting is inaccessible for me, so I may not follow you based on this, sorry!
05. I feel uncomfortable when people post too much OOC content unrelated to roleplay. I'm here exclusively to take a break from the world.
06. IC ≠ OOC . I am not my characters and they do not necessarily reflect my personal beliefs.
07. plotting!!!!! preferred, favoured, highly requested. don't be shy to hit up my dms, ask me a bunch of questions, let's cook something together. that said, I do accept memes from mutuals.
08. I've been around for a long time but mainly written OCs. I can't promise I'll be any good at this.
09. queer & neurodivergent. please respect my pace.
