Vamptober day 19 - sadness, and... well I wish I could say more but I still hope to make all that into a a chronicle one day, so alas, spoilers

forgot to post yesterday. well not that it would help with how late I am being, but nevermind, I'll finish it all up sooner or later

[bloodlesssnake]

Vamptober day 18 - bite, and lord Betlenne appreciating the taste of the unique magical ancestry of his spouse - that only he could truly understand and truly respect

It was all good while they were merely agreeing on things. Both people of art, each in their own way. Both willing to ignore the things they couldn't stand in each other for the sake of common goals, and separate ones too, because what wouldn't he do for her as long as she was doing everything for him?

Shame human lives are so short. Shame she couldn't accept what he had long understood. Shame things eventually became personal, not about what was yet to know but about him and her. True love doesn't exist where unnecessary sentiments are present, it lives in a cold-minded union of seeing each other's worth. He'd known that since his mortal days. All he wanted was for their work to go on eternally.

Shame.

Vamptober day 17 - night, and Amarantha and Kela's delightful first encounter

An picture for my old story that I should have long illustrated

A very sweet loving power couple who almost damn killed each other when they first met is a trope I am physically unable to tire of

[bloodlesssnake]

Vamptober day 16 - Vampire hunter, and wow! fandom chars

Trevor and Julia from TMA

lyrics from One of Us by Those Poor Bastards (it's currently The Album for me)

not really content to be fair but uh, there were a lot of factors that affected the process ><

[bloodlesssnake]

Vamptober day 15 - hunger, and the irresistible allure of the Ascendant's blood

I bet he became really tasty to all them regular mundane vampires. Shame no one but his consort gets to experience that

[bloodlesssnake]

Vamptober day 14 - candles, and Heathegunne, the spider lady who never wanted all of this but what choice does she have now

[bloodlesssnake]

Vamptober days 12 and 13 - Aristocrat and Modern vampire, and Weyr and Willow going for a walk (one is a true aristocrat both in life and in vampiredom, another is a chaotic orphaned abomination of modern nights).

Didn't post anything yesterday because I wanted them together, prompts too fitting.

They're such good friends and such good influence on each other can't wait to finish writing a chronicle and completely wreck their unlives on a table (maybe that's a reason why I'm not writing very quickly at the moment)

Lyrics from In Flames by Lonesome Wyatt and Rachel Brooke I love this song very much

[bloodlesssnake]

Vamptober day 11 - roses, and Ileana (while still alive and content with her bloody existence)

I'm not really satisfied with how she came out, but at least I enjoyed my attempt at drawing bats

the song is Bloody Creature Poster Girl my In This moment

Vamptober day 10 - submission, and Beata, Kela’s cryptographer and one of the most significant spawn in his life

"Greetings, Master. It's peculiar, to write while bearing your image in my mind, and not compile any elaborated cipher. I considered encrypting the letter, but after all my years of servitude I forgot how to work poorly, and I wouldn’t risk you misunderstanding my words due to unsatisfactory performance of your new interpreter -- if you have one, that is. Rumours of your return finally reached me. To say I have complex feelings about it is to say little more than nothing. Søren has it simpler. A thought of you makes him shudder in odium. To him, your… I won’t call it demise. To him, your fall was a blessing. A reason to not be afraid. A single just thing to brighten our unjust existence. I guess I wouldn’t be writing to you if I shared his sentiment wholeheartedly. Yes, he hates you with all he has. I look at him sometimes and can’t help but wonder what makes this difference between us. Is it that I am so meek and forgiving by nature, or is it that there was something you did to him, but didn’t to me? And this thought leads me to wondering about other things, things I shouldn’t wonder about, things I won’t say herewith because it’s not decent to ask your sendee questions while not providing the return address. Another question I don't have an answer for is what now. When I was at your service, I preferred to never think of what you'd do to me should I run. Avoiding unpleasant realisations allowed me to keep looking at you as gracious. But you don't blame me for leaving, right, my lord? Not when you were gone. I didn’t belong to your clan or your family the way I belonged to you. But now you’re back. What in the world could stop you from finding me and dragging me back to Athkatla? Did you already know where I was the moment you opened your eyes anew? Is there any distance that I can cover so that you are unable to track me down? In some way, I’m ready for exactly that to happen. Every time I’m alone I can’t help but expect for you to come. Would I have the right to beg you not to? Søren is with me, as you would expect, but if you or anyone on your behalf appear, he'll fight to death. I won't. I know better. But it was a long time, wasn't it? A long time for me to... have a new life, I guess. To discover someone in myself who's free of you. I'm not sure I've ever succeeded, but I do so, so like trying. Only now I am able to understand how much was in fact taken from me, and to appreciate what was given. To be whole. To be myself. In case you are willing to have this mercy on me, I’m enclosing a list of names I’ve come across in my line of work; those who are capable, partly at least, to replace me. Shameful of me to offer you new fates for the breaking just like that, but all I can think about now is not my own torn up life (it was so long ago that I barely remember myself before you) and of course, not someone else’s. I think of you, and I think that it’s unbefitting for a man of your standing to go without someone he can trust with his words, and… oh my lord, that’s pure hubris, but: how are you going to rule without me? I found out I value your opinion more than any stranger’s life, so let it be. Test them the way you’d tested me, choose wisely, and if you find none worthy, then I’ll have no choice but find my home in your shadow again. I don’t want to. But I will. Eternally yours (even if I wished otherwise), Beata"

Vamptober day 9 - impalement, and Kela's scars

the song is Summer Sky by Lonesome Wyatt and the Holy Spooks and it was a huge inspiration when I was just starting to think about the possibility that he was actually conscious and not beyond repair

[bloodlesssnake]

Vamptober day 8 - lady, and, well. Ileana with her lady

lyrics from Blood Countess by Lonesome Wyatt and the Holy Spooks

[bloodlesssnake]

Vamptober day 7 - dhampir, and Tali showing off her sparkly fae warlock magic

Technically probably there should be some resentment and awkwardness between Tali and her mother, but she's seemingly just too chill to resent anyone at all

[bloodlesssnake]

Vamptober day 6 - love, and just my darlings no deep meaning or plot because I'm tired and I don't do thinking today

lyrics from Selene & Endymion by Charming Disaster

[bloodlesssnake]

Vamptober day 5 - castle, and Amarantha paying a visit to her creator (he's not glad to see her)

it must be so very embarrassing to be outsmarted by a forty something years old wannabe schemer when you've lived for two millenia and such, but. He'll just have to make do

lyrics from This Terrible Mess by Lonesome Wyatt and Rachel Brooke

[bloodlesssnake]

Vamptober day 4 - coffin, and Rhimian wondering when her mood shifted from wishing that spawn never existed to having deep soul-saving conversations.

"Took Eri to my mother's crypt, shared her story. He showed me his own in turn. I saw it before, but never paid attention – why would I care for other spawn's graves? Father has a vast cemetery. I couldn't know everyone if I wanted, and to be fair, I never did.

A perfect date for vampires, by the book. Makes me nauseous."

lyrics from Ghosts by Birdeatsbaby

[bloodlesssnake]

Vamptober Day 3 - Bat, and Saga's nightmares

A little illustration for my dear friend's story that was like the first clearly defined idea that I got while looking at the prompts list
