oh hey folks!

I guess I should actually do a pinned post about… idk, who I am and what my whole deal is, since a bunch of new folks are following me? yeah? COOL!

so yeah! I’m PV, I’ve been on the internet and in fandom spaces for 700 years, and I am here to ramble about my hyperfixations on the sole site that doesn’t seem like it’s become entirely a cesspool yet.

I am a huge nerd, primarily around reading, video games (RPGs and cozy shit mostly), and theatre. formerly a much more active cosplayer and working my way back to it as an adult, but I did my time in the con circuit when I was a wee babby. I’m also a huge Renaissance Faire attendee, and I have a degree in theatrical costume design.

I tend to rotate my hyperfixations like a rotisserie chicken in my brain, so if you don’t see me post about something for a bit, assume it’ll come back around again.

most of my opinion posts will be tagged with ‘pv rambles,’ and any of my fic stuff with ‘pv writes’

ao3 is here: https://archiveofourown.org/users/PetVampire/profile

asks are always open, as are my DMs, just be respectful and not a shithead? seems like basic courtesy?

current hyperfixations include: critical role campaign 4, aftg, heated rivalry, dead boy detectives, and my replay of every version of final fantasy tactics.

thanks for being here!

it's update time my darlings!

mild plot, hints of more vampiric nonsense, and occtis is having a menty b. as a treat. also WHY IS THIS WEIRDLY WHOLESOME WHAT HAPPENED TO ME xD

[petvampire]

… I just had an unholy image appear in my mind of occtis riding around on a giant spider mech but like… made of bones.

there was no prompting or reason behind this, fuckin’ thing just popped into my skull like an internal jumpscare

ANYWAY I THINK THIS SHOULD HAPPEN

[petvampire]

do we think house tachonis still has their sorcery due to their connection with a demi-plane (the tenebral reaches, I believe) in a similar fashion to house royce? we know that einfasen and cormoray both descend from magical creatures that predate the shapers, but that the priestly houses didn’t. with tsul’rekshi trying to figure out how the hell the halovar still have their power with tansul dead, the question of how the tachonis have theirs has also arisen!

idk I just think maybe it’s their direct link with another plane (‘having a castle in death’ or what the goth ever) that allows them to retain their magic. theories?

more bitchy bitching from a bitch who bitches under the cut. if you don’t want to read something character critical, skip this one!

added note as always that this is simply MY OPINION and no one is obligated to agree, nor am I looking to be convinced otherwise or shamed for my own feelings.

my dislike for azune is ramping up more and more with every episode. and spending time online in the fandom takes is honestly making it worse.

I keep seeing posts calling out the very real possibility that his latest crying breakdown scene, while probably rooted in real emotions and overwhelm, was also intensely manipulative. this man changes himself on a dime to suit his lies and agenda and will use literally any tool at his disposal to get what he wants done. it’s actually more than likely that he used his emotional turmoil as a means to elicit guilt in other members of the party so he can get what he thinks is best for the cause (demodus or occtis going with him to his meeting with the einfasen as a witness, despite the potential danger to them).

and what bothers me is that people love this.

like yeah; I’ll agree it is objectively more interesting if he’s a manipulative bitch than if he’s just an overgrown kid breaking into tears every couple of episodes. but WHY are we out here worshipping a man performing intense emotional manipulation on his supposed friends and allies? why are we lauding his ability to use his own weakness to guilt and control others by weaponizing those emotions? maybe it’s just because I have fucking trauma around this shit, but it leaves a VERY bad taste in my mouth that people are calling the master manipulator their Special Boy.

I already didn’t like him because of his nine hundred ‘I’m the most specialist special character’ qualities (weird colored eyes, mysterious backstory, Capital-T Tragic, always bringing himself to the center). this is just making him go from feeling like a Gary-Stu type into something that genuinely makes my skin crawl.

maybe that’ll change. I hope it will. but right now I want to dropkick this character into a pit.

[petvampire]

really curious as to why people seem to think azune seems to think his life is in danger if he doesn’t have adequate evidence at the meeting with the einfasen.

yeah, we saw otto squish greta for sneaking off to send a message without leave. yeah, the einfasen tend to resort straight to violence when given evidence of betrayal.

HOWEVER. azune has been dealing with harondus, not otto, for one. harondus has a vested interest in Owning The Police, and azune has been, TO HIM, a very useful tool. if azune shows up with insufficient evidence to take house tachonis down, I don’t think that means harondus is suddenly gonna go ‘welp guess you’re dead now!’ like that makes no fucking sense. dude still has a use for the arcane marshals in general and azune in particular.

yes, there is always the possibility that the meeting with the einfasen will go poorly and something will get revealed (like the fact that half the evidence is planted) that will cause them to react violently. but this general seeming assumption that azune’s life is going to be in danger if he doesn’t have enough evidence seems like a stretch.

thaisha now needs to take two levels in barbarian and give yanessa halovar the people’s elbow

[petvampire]

you joke about tsul’rekshi and aetheon but considering her whole thing is that she is a demon that hates captivity and renders things into paint and aetheon is an angel that is captive and constantly emits highly potent rendable liquid i feel like some crazy shit is gonna go down with those two i want her to jailbreak him soooooo bad

oh I am actually FULLY on board for them, I want a side game that’s all just her and her demon coterie breaking his ass out of the Halovar Hell Basement

it would also just get SO INSANE on account of all the celestials going feral in the absence of the shapers so like: YES DO IIIIIIIT

[petvampire]

for your pleasure and consideration, some New and Improbable Or Unhinged ships for this campaign:

- ingrid einfasen and dame cosgrove, baroness of sloak (reasoning: I love them)

- hollis kinnywater and doctor amry talter (girl loves a science experiment)

- tsul’rekshi and aetheon (she was REALLY excited to hear he was in the city)

- araq and tyranny (THE BEAM COMES INSIDE)

- tyranny and occtis (but in a really weird cannibalism kind of way)

- king augustus valian and talcydimir pridesire (LION KING)

horny chapter is upon us!

and of course it's gonna get weird. OF COURSE IT IS.

[petvampire]

not gonna lie, I feel like we missed an opportunity for azune to blue-screen at one of murray’s metaphors and occtis to be like ‘don’t worry; I have no fucking idea what she’s talking about either’
