Cdf characters at chrimus, grinch or absolutely wet for merry chrystler?

Darren: Completely and utterly obsessed with christmas, decorations are going up november 1st!!

Larten: Likes that it makes Darren happy but generally doesn’t understand the point of dedicating so much time to preparing for one day.

Harkat: Doesn’t care for the christmas hype until the actual day, in which he stands at attention with his black trash bag, ready and waiting for the wrapping paper to leave the present.

Paris: Does not gaf in his rock

Seba: Gives a fuck in his rock but won’t admit to liking a human holiday

Kurda: ‘christmas!!!! is an excuse for capitalist ideals!! to infiltrate the lives of everyday people by using overly joyous adverts as propaganda to subject them to a western style, over-consumptionist and unnecessary month of buying crap for their ungrateful children!!!’

Mika: ‘yeah what he said’

Arrow: Loves christmas, used to celebrate with his wife. Still loves it after her death, but uses the day to quietly mourn.

Arra: Hated it as a human, hates it as a vampire 🤷‍♀️

Vancha: ‘What’s christmas?’

Gavner: He defo too broke for christmas

‼️ Merry crimus and a happy new year fellas ‼️

Ever year, around the same time, I leech my way back into this fandom. I make no apologies 😈

Some food for thought: I think a lot of people tend to mischaracterise Darren as an individual within the series. Of course, that’s not to say my opinion on the way he’s portrayed is the right one but I do often wonder if I am reading the same series as others are?

I think a lot of people’s characterisations of Darren is centred around his naivety and heroic aspects, but I would say that’s not the leading intention the author was going for when designing Darren. He is the typical heroine of the series in that he’s candid, loyal and values his friends over the bigger picture - but there will be moments in the books that really showcase his differences to our typical heroines and definitely shows us that he is not the entirely naive and selfless boy we know and love. We see a sinister undertone of his character throughout the entire series, from the darker thoughts he has about getting rid of Crepsley boy, to his treatment of his friends by the last few books. Most of these moments are due to his resentment and anger about the experiences he’s gone through, but I think even from the start of the series, Darren (author) wanted him to have the undertone of ‘quick to switch up’ or innately grievous. Maybe this was intended to create more of a parallel between him and Steve, or even Darren and Crepsley. Either way, this idea that Darren is purely selfless and a hero through and through doesn’t fit my personal interpretation of his words and actions in the books, but I’d love to hear about how other people are viewing Darren nowadays, there seems to be a real mix up of ideas 😅

Side note: I know this view of Darren isn’t an original one!! but there seems to be more people than ever in this community that do see him this way, so I thought I’d just share a little of my opinion and see how yours can differ, feel free to respond with a completely different viewpoint! 🥰

[mikaverleth]

My opinion is stop leaving us because yearly visits are not enough !!!! 😤 so there !!!!!

[darrenshanisabitch]

I’m definitely here to stay for a while queen 🥰 I’ve been rereading the books and everyone’s fics in my free time and I’ve got a lot to yap on about 😈

Happy Halloween, everyone!! 

Larten - Alucard (Hellsing)

Darren - Gon (HunterxHunter)

Vancha - Inosuke (Demon Slayer)

[darrenshanisabitch]

I think I might cry, Darren as Gon?

I can die happy now.

Amazing work! 🤩

[darrenshanisabitch]

Darren: Look, there’s no way he likes me back.

Harkat: What are you talking about?! Steve would literally throw himself into oncoming traffic for you.

Darren: Steve would throw himself into oncoming traffic for fun!!

[darrenshanisabitch]

In honour of me swallowing glue (don’t ask) and getting a 2nd degree burn down my trachea, I present to you:

Why did the cdf characters drink a chemical (glue in this case) ?

Darren: would swallow glue accidentally because he thought it was milk

Larten: is suicidal and would drink litres on purpose

Harkat: also though it was milk but didn’t get hurt because the lil guy has got a stomach of steel 💪

Arra: drank glue because she got dared to, walked it off.

Kurda: he’s too smart for that

Mika: also too smart for that but also probably got bullied into it by Arrow and Vancha

Steve: drank glue, knew it was glue, did not give a double fuck that it was glue

Arrow: tricked into drinking glue

Vancha: regularly drinks chemicals, is unbothered

Paris and seba: exasperated that anyone would even consider drinking glue

Gavner: drank the glue, still hasn’t realised it was glue

[darrenshanisabitch]

Coffin, opened or closed?

Darren: hammock

Crepsley: definitely a closed coffin type of guy, enjoys the adrenaline rush of being enclosed in a small space. fuckin junkie.

Arrow: can’t fit in a coffin but sleeps with loads of blankets over his head for total darkness :)

Harkat: opened coffin

Kurda: closed coffin

Mika: closed coffin (keeps the spiders out)

Arra: opened coffin

Gavner: opened coffin, his snores will echo in his coffin if it’s closed 🤷‍♀️

Vancha: cofffin? i only know ground.

Paris: closed coffin

Seba: closed coffin

Steve: the most extra, grandiose, elegant, ethereal, 6 foot tall bed with frills and a pressed bedsheet + 3 silk blankets and a princess canopy. you bet he has white noise in the background too…maybe someone fanning him?

[darrenshanisabitch]

cdf characters and their fears (some are hc and others are canon):

Darren: snakes and women

Larten: decision making

Mika: spiders and Kurda in a crop top

Steve: ginger men whose names rhyme with barton frepsley

Harkat: this guy is tough as shit so he’s probably not scared of anything but if i HAD to say something it’d be loosing his bestie darren or something

Arrow: hair

Vancha: bathing and Evanna

Arra: conforming to gender stereotypes

Seba: teenage slang

Paris: knowing that his death will result in 3 idiots and a child running vampire mountain

Kurda: stupid people and cats (for some reason i have always hc kurda to be scared shitless of cats)

[darrenshanisabitch]

I’m sorry but Darren Shan had fucking style, okay? In the manga his outfits were cool. I’ll admit that the pirate outfit was a miss but other than that…

Fuck being a vampire prince, I think the kid is a little fashionista at heart alright?

We don’t talk about this enough.

[darrenshanisabitch]

Currently remembering the good ol’ days of 2006 when I would write my little fanfics on Fanfiction.net and make sure to add disclaimers saying that I didn’t own the story because I was scared of getting sued…

I wish more than anything that I could find my old username and see what crap I used to post in my teen years 😭

[darrenshanisabitch]

Kurda Smahlt,

twink? or alpha male? 😩

[darrenshanisabitch]

What matching jewellery the friendship pairs in cdf would wear:

Darren and Harkat

Arrow and Mika

Seba and Paris

Wester and Larten

Steve and Darren

Vancha and Larten

Evra and Darren

cirque du freak fans summarized

[darrenshanisabitch]

A really fucking stupid hc i’ve been thinking about for a while:

Kurda’s mother was burned at the stakes on accusation of being a witch...

I wholeheartedly believe that Kurda got his smarts from his mother, and because women weren’t allowed to be smart in those times without it being suspicious (🙄), she would’ve been accused of doing witchcraft shit because she was a brainy, sciencey lady 💅

I thought of this because of that one scene in Pirates of the Caribbean where the woman talks about space or whatever and knows some astrology so they try to hang her for being a witch ✨
