Introducing: My Sona and my selfship!

Been selfshipping with Mafioso for over a month now and I have made plenty of art of my Sona and a little bit of selfship art, so here's all of that! I'll give a lore post soon on how exactly Mafioso and Lu met. Pictures under the split!

Here are the blanks for the two ship charts for anyone who wants them :3

TW SUICIDE

Tumblr user @shesmycollaarr has posted a suicide note on her blog. She lives in Romania, though I don’t know where. Anyone in Europe, Romania especially, please call 112 as soon as possible and warn them however you can. I tried but I can’t contact them from America.

So I was binging a Bloodbound playthrough (Adrian Romance) in order to make sure I get enough to write my fanfiction story - It's in the Blood (Bloodbound x The Elementalists) and I think one of the reasons why Bloodbound is still one of my favorite stories is because of how emotional the ending of Book 2 is. Even though I already knew what was going to happen, it is still so impactful and I keep crying when Amy (the MC) dies. Yes, she comes back as a vampire, but her human life is over.

And it just makes me think that this is something that the Vampire genre excells in. It allows for the fictional exploration of loss and death. It explores how much of yourself remains and how much changes after experiencing death. And death is an unavoidable change. Good stories won't shy away from it's impact, even if the same character will comeback as a vampire, they are never truly the same.

Also one of my realizations in watching a monogamous Adrian Raines playthrough of Bloodbound is that he's the only Love Interest who has experienced something similar to the power Amy, Gaius, and Rheya, experienced. To be fed a power that tempts you to do whatever you wanted and to bring out the worst in you disguised as a blessing while being the furthest from your human self. And then awaken to discover what you've done because you used the same power to do what you wanted. Which always results in death no matter what it tempts you with. Adrian used it to kill Adam Vega. Gaius and Rheya used it to control other vampires and be more powerful than them. And depending on how you play Amy's part, she could either kill or make sure Rheya's supporters are alive but doesn't interfere. And uniquely, Amy tapping into this power wasn't done externally, but just like Rheya, it was done out of grief over the loss of a loved one. It's a full circle moment for us Adrian lovers. In Book 1 she called out to him to get him out of the power trance (that's what I'm calling it) after he kills Adam Vega. Then in Book 3, in the very end he's the one who calls out to her to comeback to him.

Monogamous Adrian romance also shows how good the romantic writing is and how it relates to the themes of the story. He's the first love interest we the audience meets and serves as the one who introduces us to the world of vampires and he is with us as we the audience exits the world of Bloodbound as he and Amy are happily married. He's uncertain about the idea of turning her until he holds her in his arms with a sword on her chest. Heck the opening intimate scene in Book 2 is a direct foil to the last chapter wherein we are all in despair from Amy's necessary death. We start of with the joy of being in the arms of your lover and we end with despair in the arms as Amy dies. Amy is the first human lover of Adrian's that has successfully turned into a vampire. And he doesn't do turnings lightly. He's strategic and reluctant. Out of all the old vampires, I find him to be the most reluctant to turn someone into a vampire. This all changed when he turned Lily for Amy's sake. For him to not hesitate and to turn Amy when he doesn't know if she'll want him to, shows that he no longer questions what his heart wants and clarifies what he values the most. If he hated Gaius before, his heart has closed off to him after Amy dies. He only cooperates with Gaius out of necessity, but makes no hesitation in making sure that Gaius knows that Adrian will never forgive him for killing Amy.

And finally, Adrian marries Amy within a year after Rheya's death. Adrian who never thought he'll be married again since his wife, Eleanor died, Adrian who indulged in flings throughout his immortal life and hasn't had a serious relationship until he meets Celia who ended his hedonistic life, has married the Bloodkeeper vampire as soon as things had calmed down. Someone who would call him out on his bullshit while also being supportive.

And I think this is why Celia and Adrian weren't meant to be the eternity Endgame couple. Celia was also a moral compass for Adrian, like Amy, but Celia pushed Adrian to become a vampire while Amy doesn't. The closest thing to that was when Amy says "To eternity" in Paris. Celia was probably seeing vampirism as a way to do things that can't be achieved in one mortal life. Which is valid but it also blinds her to the darkness of what it means to be a vampire. Meanwhile, Serafine Dupont is not Adrian's endgame because while the sex must have been amazing for both of them, it's clear to me that Serafine is probably aromantic. Adrian on the other hand is a romantic at heart even though he's had many unserious relationships. And Serafine herself said that their perspectives are too different for them to be compatible as partners. Adrian Raines like Xie Lian from Tian Guan Ci Fu (TGCF aka Heaven Official's Blessing) is fundamentally an optimist who has doubts when it comes to ideals but will never stop trying. Amy, the MC is like Adrian in that she may have some doubts about the future but it's not going to stop her from doing anything she can to achieve it. And also she's like the midpoint between Celia and Serafine. Like Celia she looks toward the future, but like Serafine she lives in the moment. The difference that Amy brings is that she inspires Adrian to also live in the moment. And she does this by being true to herself. We see this when in their date in Paris, when Amy was being self-conscious about being prim and proper in the floating restaurant, Adrian doesn't hesitate to toss food into his mouth to make her relax and laugh. She's made him realize that he wants to live and keep on living despite how imperfect he is. So for them to be together (whether married or just living together) in the end is a nice way to end the series.

I know some of the things I've said could also be applied to the other love interests, but as someone who fell in love with Adrian Raines again, I couldn't help but express my love for the series through the love story with Adrian.

I first started this paycheck animation back in November and after a lot of ups and downs with it I FINALLY finished ohmy god

If I had to give a guess as to how many hours this took, I’d say at least 50, the backgrounds alone took seven hours combined 🤧🤧🤧 all animated on ToonSquid!! Backgrounds are hand drawn by me as well :)) I did use a reference for the city but I did end up making my own custom brush for the windows following this tiktok tutorial I found I LOVE IT SMM
