@hraunwyf​ / dos harts iz a zeyger, ober mit tsebrokhene vayzers.

This weather didn’t suit him -- camping on the German plains, closer to the sea than he was accustomed to. It was the combination of snow and rain that wiped the smile from his face. With no audience, what was the point in keeping it? To cheer himself, perhaps. It was a thought -- but one to be digested, not acted upon. He didn’t feel much like smiling, tonight. He felt like sitting, his elbows on his knees, his face in his palms, and watching the fire flicker as it reduced its assortment of herbs down to an ashy paste ( though not quickly enough, he’d made sure, to lose the properties he’d sought them out for; a touch of water assured that ). 

       Every culture had legends about meeting strange passerby while traveling, and his was no exception. The moral usually went something like this: be kind, be courteous, and don’t judge by appearances. So it was that when Anastaszy saw the woman approaching, in a style of clothing he did not recognize, with dark hair and weary face, he raised a hand in greeting, and gestured for her to sit if she pleased.

@pietrouccello​ / a mol iz di refue erger far der make.

“Back again so soon, Your Eminence?” The flat hadn’t changed in the time since Matilda had first introduced the good doctor; still cramped, with the peeling wallpaper and strings of herbs, and the little window looking over the neighboring roof, which seemed to serve only to allow weak light to spill onto a potted plant. Today, however, there was a thickness to the air, a strange pinkish tint that spilled into the hall through the open door. On the rickety table that was meant to serve both for eating and brewing ( a dangerous practice; perhaps that explained the crumbs in the bedsheets ), a glass container of something boiled merrily away, clinking occasionally as the hardened balls of whatever it was he was creating were tossed up against the sides. It smelled... odd. Sharp and pungent simultaneously, the sort of scent that burned the nose upon entry. “Treatment not working out?”

Hello! This blog isn’t quite set up yet but I wanted to see how many people in the VTM/vampire RP community were active. This is gonna be an RP blog for my VTM character, Pietro Uccello. He’s a ventrue who was turned in 1300, but has spent most of his “life” in torpor at the bottom of the ocean. I have a lot of fun RPing him so I thought I’d make an RP blog. If anyone is interested in plotting/RPing, please like this or dm me!

i care about staz so fucking much but to put into context why, why he is as important as he is to me and why i’m so proud of him and his narrative would require a literal novel’s length of explanation including a full rundown of jewish history in poland under the shifting powers of the end of the 18th and start of the 19th centuries. the crux of his character will ALWAYS be political dissidence and his clash with both the vaad arba haaratzot ( and his horror at their being disbanded ) and the gentile powers of government that kicked poland between them like a football. staz knows his own history, staz sees that the jewish people are rapidly losing autonomy, and staz’s belief that napoleon was going to save them turned to ash in his mouth days after his shtetl became part of the french empire. staz is an intense look at the origins of hasidism because the way we view the hasidim today is not at all how they started out and their inception as a movement against rabbinical council leadership can’t be ignored in this story. anyways jewish history deserves nuance, the presentation of multiple perspectives, and then characters on top of that that can just be inherently fun for the audience to engage with.
