OOC POST

So, for those who have not completely given up on me, thank you!

My goal is still to get replies out for people and to start posting again regularly. I highly doubt that I will be as speedy as I once was, but that's all right.

To make a very long story short, life has been truly insane, the last year especially. It's been a hell of a roller coaster ride and I'm still trying to get my life back into some semblance of order.

Some may have been aware, though most probably weren't, that my husband had been very mentally ill for some time, with his condition degrading year over year. This past September, he lost his battle with his illness, which sent everything into a tailspin. The day before Thanksgiving, less than two months before the loss of my husband, I was let go and I can very much say that I have never been fired from anything in my life. The true heartlessness of the people that I was working for was an eye opener for me. I had already been uncomfortable working for them for some time and this really drove home their lack of ethics and empathy, showing them for the people they truly are.

Following the holidays, I was able to secure a job, though it doesn't pay nearly as much as I'd been making before and the health insurance through said company is something of a joke. If anyone has any recommendations for private health insurance, I am all ears as there are psych appointments and medications involved. The appointments I am handling find out of pocket, as well as most medications, but several of them are not doable out of pocket thanks to the wonderful system that the US has in place.

Long story is long story, but I have been focused on my family, making sure that my kiddos are okay and focusing on my own mental health and state of being. Thank you and I look forward to getting back into the swing of things soon.

That being said, if the storylines we were writing together no longer work for you, tell me and we'll start something different! Otherwise, I will work on what I have drafted and see if we can't reignite some old fires.

Much love to you all for being you!

Three vampire brothers decide to hold a competition to see which one of them is the most powerful

The first brother is the strongest.

"Watch this," he says, and takes off at nearly 100 miles per hour. Two minutes later, he returns, his mouth covered in blood.

"What happened?!" his brothers exclaimed.

"You see that mansion over there?"

"Yeah?"

"Well, I went over there and sucked each and every last family member dry. They are all dead."

"Wow!" his brothers say. "As expected, for you are the strongest." The second brother to go is the oldest.

"Watch and learn, boys," he says, and takes off even quicker, at 150 miles per hour.

Five minutes later, he returns, both his mouth and his neck covered in blood.

"What happened?!" His brothers exclaimed.

"You see that village over there?"

"Yeah?" They said.

"Well I went over there and killed every last person in the entire village. There is not one left alive."

"Wow!" his brothers say in awe. "As expected, for you are the oldest and have the most experience."

The third brother is the fastest.

Not to be outdone, he says "Watch this, and don't blink or you might miss it."

He flies off, faster than the rest of them, going at least 200mph. In only ten seconds, he returns. His entire mouth, nose, and neck are covered in so much blood, it stains the front of his shirt.

"What happened?!" his brothers exclaimed.

"You see that giant tree over there?"

"…Yeah?"

"Well I sure fuckin' didn't."

No relationship I have ever had has been ‘healthy’.

The healthiest was perhaps that 30 year long distance one in the early 1700s.  But she was a married mortal who met me as a teenager and maintaining contact did help with at least one trade deal so perhaps not.

That or Thea and I considering despite that being broken off we’re still the best of friends.

[justagangrel]

To be fair, relationships with mortals are hard. Especially as they age and change and you… don’t?

[ll-underestimated-ll]

Oh definitely, but what ‘romanatic’ relationships I pursue with mortals are typically schemes to get to some end goal.  Rarely lasting more than a few months or a couple of years.  Even my arranged marriages during my earlier years of undeath were simply in the name of fostering alliances and establishing a mock family line for masquerade purposes.

Kindred has been a whole other kettle of fish.

[justagangrel]

Fun fact - they usually are. There’s usually some angle or hidden motive that’s being explored. Some advantage to be gained. Sort of exhausting, really.

[ll-underestimated-ll]

I know that were I to engage with any kindred in such a fashion again it would either have to provide some sort of great benefit to me.  Or, alternatively, be such a mundane side affair for personal amusement that it was inconsequential towards anything.  At which point can really count that as a true romantic liason?

[justagangrel]

It wouldn’t be.

I’ve done the politicking. Played that game. I miss having a partner, and sometimes I miss the social interaction of gatherings.

Reblog this if you're crossover friendly. Sometimes we might not be familiar with a fandom or franchise but still be interested in interacting with a muse regardless.

RPers, please reblog this if you’re okay with ICONLESS threads!

Reblog if I’m allowed to send you in character asks even if we have never talked before.

[hazelenergy]

Y'all remember that time we talked about how mage blood gets vampires high af?

[gangrel-in-a-business-suit]

Mage blood does what now? 👀 Asking for a friend.

[hazelenergy]

Supposedly, according to semi-reputable sources, “the blood of the awakened” or whatever is like taking LSD for us. Yeah but good luck finding mage blood.

[gangrel-in-a-business-suit]

If I have learned anything about Mages from this website. All I need to do is put out a trap with something along the lines of "free pussy/cock, weed, and unexpected ghosts" And that should get them.

[justagangrel]

Rumor has it the fae are also quite potent. My sire always told me not to fuck with them.

[hazelenergy]

THERE ARE FAE? LIKE put out milk and honey, don't say thank you for eat anything, burned by Cold iron fae??

[justagangrel]

Oh, aye! There is a great deal of truth to the legends.

Not messing with the fae is just good common sense ya know? Like Grandma didn't raise no fool.

[ll-underestimated-ll]

Not of a fan of the twang of disappointment to come from calling for someone's presence and to find them not around.

[justagangrel]

You’ve never told me you wanted me around?

[ll-underestimated-ll]

Think instead of trying to put the effort into a enemies to lovers arc that I'll just ruin someone's marriage. All enemy all the time.

[justagangrel]

And just how do you plan to do that?

[ll-underestimated-ll]

Not that hard. Just have to find a couple that's not terribly compatible in the first place then start throwing spanners in the works.

[justagangrel]

You can’t always tell just by looking at a couple if they’ll be compatible or not, though. How many couples do you know?

As Prince I must treat valentines day like one would in an elementary school classroom. With writing little notes to everyone in my court letting them know I appreciate them.

[justagangrel]

Everyone?

[ll-underestimated-ll]

'Everyone in my court' - if you're wanting one and happen to be in town I could attach it neatly to a dove. Like a juice box in place of the mortal use of chocolates.

[justagangrel]

What day is it, anyway? I suppose I could be that way, if you needed me to be…. Doves ARE rather tasty.

[ll-underestimated-ll]

February 14th. So still a couple weeks until then.
