The parasite judge

A blog for my take on Joseph's Vampire and Judge skins from IdV. Will mention blood, corruption, and likely nsfw topics. 18+.

Look

edgelords suck

but I also hate the opposite of edgelords, ie people who are like "I'm going to make everything nauseatingly cute and fluffy because I'm such a badass rebel"

Putting happy things in stuff that's depressing is fine, having a problem with canon becoming cringey in its pursuit of pointless edgelordery is fine

but if you're sashaying into a fandom whose media is naturally dark and changing EVERYTHING and removing all conflict in the original source so that it's boring, sanitised and Pure, I've got to wonder what the hell you're doing here in the first place and why it even appealed to you to begin with?

Like if you're into VTM, and you take away the personal horror and what makes vampires *vampires*, why are you into VTM specifically instead of some fandom centred around superhumans? If you're only going to make bloodbag-drinking vampires and headcanon that everyone is nice and makes friends with each other and nobody is ever scared or struggling to survive, and that everyone is nice to humans and loves to hold hands skipping into the sunset, and that everyone who adheres to the canon that most vampires are monsters or will become monsters is a terrible person with no morals IRL, why... why are you even here?

VTM appeals to me because I can relate to the feeling of struggling to survive in a world where everyone is out to screw you, and you have to do shitty things to keep on living. I can relate to the struggle of maintaining your morals VS doing things that help you survive, "pick one".

And if you take all of that out of VTM, is it even VTM any more?

I like having a universe where my characters can put themselves first and don't have to live with the guilt of being complicit, because I get enough of that IRL, where we're only allowed to consume sanitised, pure content and every other week we're cut off from a new company or creator because they fucked up, and it becomes more and more exhausting to keep on top of that, like being a half decent person is now as unattainable as enlightenment and if you don't exhaust yourself and run yourself down, you're complicit, and that means you should burn in hell. It's like Christianity all over again, and I'm so tired. There's no ethical consumption under capitalism. We're all damned, we're all going to hell. And in the World of Darkness it's the same - just being a vampire means your presence in the world is actively harmful. Yes, even if you drink bloodbags (even moreso), and when people bend over backwards to make their vampires as ethical as possible - every single one of them, not just the odd OC here and there - I just roll my eyes.

If your vampires were truly ethical, they'd kill themselves. Consuming bloodbags is more unethical than drinking from a stranger because hospitals need blood all the time. Drinking from a stranger is unethical because anaemia is awful. And if your vampires are trying to develop blood alternatives, why the fuck are you playing vampires at all? Why are you even here?!

So no. I'm not going to headcanon that all vampires are social animals who love to befriend each other and make the world a better place. I'm going to headcanon that they're predators in competition with each other forced to work with each other to survive humanity. I'm going to headcanon that they can make friends they can trust, but that it's very rare and difficult, and distrust and isolation are the norm. I'm going to headcanon that genuine love and trust are very rare, making it all the more rewarding when it's found.

Sometimes I look at posts and I'm like... why are you even in this fandom?

[revolutionsperminute]

I wrote a think-piece for myself that, while still partially the stuff this post doesn't like, actually references it with a paraphrase. Thought it'd be neat to tack it on as an addition.

Vampire, as a game, was made to be about 'personal horror'. It has a clear vision to go with this: very few if any vampire is good, even if but victims of recent embrace, as they compromise with their worst selves continuously. Of course, one could manage their humanity like a saint, overcoming or defeating this central point, or be soft-hearted and drawn in by a sugar-coated image of vampires. Perhaps one could take and twist this into a subversion or deconstruction, toxic positivity where they mentally form apologia for only taking but a little blood, or for stealing whole-blood packs before they are separated into cells, plasma, and so forth (indeed, some have even gone so far as to say that a truly ethical vampire would commit suicide).

However, we may focus on other aspects, instead. If coping with a single flavor of beast with a static, increasing scale of sin severity is too stifling a limitation to inspire creativity and new stories, we can treat 'personal' & 'horror' as parts of a whole rather than a single abstract that must be adhered to. Here's a story-teller rule I've thought of for my own interpretation, emphasizing the latter:

The Vampire should be, for someone, somewhere, horrifying. It may inspire fear in the self for what they have become and what they must do to live, the traditional angle, or may be more existential, perhaps the vampire has trivialized their need and now worries if they will face some dread fate such as final death or becoming a wight. Maybe the horror is entirely from other vampires - disgust with the worst aspects of the new, hidden world they live in, with the Camarilla's back-stabbing and the Sabbat's constant atrocities and acts of terror, with the clan-specific cruelties such as the blood-bond pyramid or victims of vicissitude.

Even in a chronicle with the squeakiest, most glazed and white-washed coterie, with the brightest outlook in the entire world of darkness apart from the undying, mortals on the other side of the masquerade won't know this, and may certainly still instinctively recoil at them - if they aren't outright hunters with terror in their hearts, who are living in anxiety that there could be any number of you, or are quite traumatized by witnessing the worst of what the kindred have to offer, and as such would see all vampires staked for the sun in hopes of returning to security and normalcy.

In all of these, even if not as personal, the vampire still horrifies by nature.

"I'm going to make you listen." (from quin) ((the blog is welcomehomexx))

[Cruel Statements]

The vampire arched an eyebrow. Quinlan was going to make him listen? Quinlan was demanding to be in charge? Crimson almost smiled at the thought.

He leaned in. "And how do you intend to do that, my little witchlet? Powerful as you might be, you're still not as strong as me."

[sanguine-law]

He just pokes his head in silently, then, after a moment, turns around and leaves again without saying a word.

The vampire had been listening to a conversation transmitted magically through a little wooden bird. Just talk of where these other high-ranking vampires planned to convene, nothing Crimson wasn't used to.

When something caught his attention.

Crimson looked toward the doorway of the room on instinct. Only then had he recognized the smell and faint pattern of steps. "Aesop?" He stood up, no longer paying attention to the little birdy. Was Aesop just being shy, or had he realized who was talking?

"Not going to bother greeting me?"

vampire character who sometimes accidentally bites bystanders as a startle-response. that could be so funny.

[craftyjesting]

“Sh-Shut up!” He groused and whined as that tail continued to flail around. It got faster at their brazen taunts. “N-Not uncertain.” More like- he wasn’t as experienced as he had portrayed. There’s only so much being involved with a lust-tale monster could expose him to.

“Why’s that matter to you anyway?” This little brat was pouting back at them.

[sanguine-law]

"You're denying your feelings. And I'd just hate to see you think so wrongly of them." Granted... it was mostly that he just liked teasing Nyx. Nyx's reactions were just so entertaining. "So, why not try to help you with them?"

[sanguine-law]

@craftyjesting | so we don't clog someone else's post

“What implying?! We are not!” He is lieing through his golden teeth. A flustered little huff is given as that thin tail flicks wildly around.

"What an adorable little imp. Look at that tail whip around. You're such a poor liar, aren't you Nyx? Or maybe you're uncertain in your answer."

“You’ve mistaken us for someone else. Perhaps Merlot? We may make fun, but we wouldn’t consider us slutty.”

"Are you sure about that?"

[ofhotheads-blog]

UNDERTALE starters

“…But nobody came.”

“I… I’ve changed my mind about all this. This isn’t a good idea anymore.”

“YOU! You’re standing in the way of everybody’s hopes and dreams!”

“I don’t want to break their hearts all over again. It’s better if they never see me.”    

“Despite everything, it’s still you.”

“Ah, the cactus. Truly the most tsundere of plants.”

“Go ahead. Prepare however you want. But when you step forward… I will KILL you.”

“It’s me, [name].”

“Wow! We haven’t even had our first date and I’m in the friendzone!”

“It pains me to say this, but… you should probably never come back here.”

“Maybe looking at this nice lamp will help you.”

“There is nothing left for us here. Let us erase this pointless world, and move on to the next.”

“They thought that he had killed the child.”

“Quit looking at me with that stupid expression. You’re pissing me off.”

“We’re all counting on you, kid. Good luck.”

“Nice day today, huh? Birds are singing, flowers are blooming… Perfect weather for a game of catch.”

“You can certainly find better than an old man/woman like me.” 

“I do not know if this is pathetic or endearing.”

“Oh. My god. I didn’t expect you to show up so soon! I haven’t showered, I’m barely dressed, it’s all messy, and…”

“You’re way better at dating than I am.”

“Get dunked on!”

“This is the power that the humans feared.”

“They must be here, playing a joke on me. I’ll just wait until one of them admits it…”

“…You really like hot animals, don’t you?”

“It was nice to meet you. …Goodbye.”

“On days like this, kids like you should be burning in Hell.”

“Remember. DON’T kill anyone. …I can’t believe this is a REAL thing I have to remind you.”

“…Why are you still here? Are you trying to keep me company?”

“You should be smiling, too. Aren’t you excited? Aren’t you happy?” 

“Don’t worry, my little monarch, my plan isn’t regicide. This is SO much more interesting.”

“What makes you think you’re in control?”

“Never come back here. You are not welcome.”

“Why does someone as great as me have to do so much to get recognition?!”

“You made your choice long ago.”

“Don’t you realize that being nice just makes you get hurt?”

“So you finally made it. The end of your journey is at hand.”

“I didn’t cry! I just… caught something in my eye!”

“You know what would be more valuable to everyone? IF YOU WERE DEAD!”

“Look. [Name] didn’t come to the meeting today. Say what you want about him/her/them. H/She’s/They’re weird, naive, self-absorbed. But [name] has NEVER missed a meeting. And no matter what time you call him/her/them on the phone… Night, day, afternoon, morning… He/she/they ALWAYS answers within the first two rings.”

“Anything you want to do is important enough. Even something as small as reading a book, or taking a walk… Please take your time.“

“[Name] hated humanity. Why they did, they never talked about it. But they felt very strongly about that.”

“WELL? Are you CHERISHING?! CHERISH HARDER!”

"If you… If you think I’m gonna give up hope, you’re wrong. ‘Cause I’ve got my friends behind me.”

“Perhaps we can reach a compromise. You still have something that I want.”

“Always wondered why people never use their strongest attack first.”

“No matter the struggles or hardships you faced… you strived to do the right thing. You refused to hurt anyone.”

“This is why I never make promises.”

“ …Why? Why are you being… so nice to me? I can’t understand. I can’t understand! I just can’t understand… “

“Honestly, fighting you IS pretty fun… So even if you ARE a sicko, I’ll take it!”

“Maybe you’d be better… at not killing anyone? Crazy idea, huh? Let me know how that one goes.” 

“Did I ever tell you about the time [name] flirted with me?”

“STOP PETTING THE ENEMY!”

“Now, I understand acting in self-defense. You were thrown into those situations against your will.”

“You’d better watch yourself, kid. Things are lookin’ real bad for you.”

“Are you ready? If you are not, I understand. I’m not ready either…”

“Oh my God! Will you two just smooch already?”

“Don’t you get it? There’s no such thing as happy endings. This is all that’s left…!”

“The internet! I’m quite popular there!”

“Do you think even the worst person can change…? That everyone can be a good person if they just try?”

“Don’t worry about it. Most of us have tried to kill [name] at one time or another.”

“Wowie! You did it! You didn’t do a violence!”

“Not everything can be resolved by being nice.”

“Don’t kill, and don’t be killed, alright? That’s the best you can strive for.” 

“Oh no! You’re meeting all of my standards!”

“Anime is real, RIGHT?!”

“Maybe you’re wondering if I ever get tired of winning… Wanna see my answer?”

“Sorry, I do not have much to say. It was nice to hear your voice, though.”

“This is all just a bad dream… and you’re NEVER waking up!”

“Down here, it’s kill or be killed!”

“I can’t come back. I just can’t, OK?”

“I so badly want to say, ‘would you like a cup of tea?’ But… You know how it is.”

“Would you smooch a ghost?”

“The truth is… [Name] wasn’t really the greatest person.” 

“Well, if I were you, I would have thrown in the towel by now. But you didn’t get this far by giving up, did you?” 

“You’re not really human, are you? No. You’re empty inside. Just like me.”

“Are you bored? I should have given a book to you. My apologies. Why not use your imagination to divert yourself?”

“I’ll hold victory in front of you, just within your reach… and then tear it away just before you grasp it.”

“Come on! Step forward and let’s end this!”

“Don’t you get it? This is all just a GAME.”

“Are those two robots…?”

“If you have some sort of special power… isn’t it your responsibility to do the right thing?”

“Stop plaguing my life with incidental music!”

“Self-defense? Please. You didn’t kill them because you had to. You killed them because it was easy for you. Because it was fun for you. Do you think it was fun when I found out…? Do you think it’s fun when people’s family members never come home? Is that fun? No. “

“I wish I had eight legs… so I could wear FOUR pairs of hot pants!”

“The more you kill, the easier it becomes to distance yourself. The more you distance yourself, the less you will hurt. The more easily you can bring yourself to hurt others.”

“RUN. INTO. THE BULLETS.”

“I can’t go to Hell. I’m all out of vacation days.”

“They just sort of showed up one day and…asserted themselves. The town’s gotten a lot more interesting since then.”

“Our king is really bad at names.”

“If it weren’t for you, I would’ve never gotten past him. But now, with your help, he’s DEAD.”

“Then why’d you kill my brother/sister?”

“I’ve done everything this world has to offer. I’ve read every book. I’ve burned every book. I’ve won every game. I’ve lost every game. I’ve appeased everyone. I’ve killed everyone.”

“What did you do to him? …What did you DO to him?!”

“…I don’t have the heart to tell her what you did. Do you know how she’d react?”

“You didn’t even need my help, which is great, ‘cause I love doing absolutely nothing.”

“I’m smiling and I hate it!”

“Do you wanna have a bad time? 'Cause if you take another step forward… you are REALLY not going to like what happens next.”

“If we’re really friends… you won’t come back.”

“Did you really think I was gonna be satisfied… killing you only ONE time?”

“I remember when I first woke up here, in the garden. I was so scared. I couldn’t feel my arms or my legs…”

“Even after all this time, you’re still the only one that understands me.”

“Why do I always get the freaks?”

“It’s possible that you may have a problem.”

“What a terrible creature, torturing such a poor, innocent youth…”

“I’m nineteen years old and I’ve already wasted my entire life.”

“If you’re so scared, why do you keep winking?”

“Don’t you have anything better to do?”

N S F W headcanon: i would say Crimson could be flustered during sex if his partner is tender and gentle with him ?

Send a N S F W headcanon you may have for my muse and see if I like it

If it's not what he's expecting, it'll definitely throw him off. But he is quick to adapt.

Flustering would probably be more about which mindset he has during sex. So... Potentially!

[sanguine-law]

NSFW: Camseph: If J ever discovered camcorders he'd film his sessions. Then analyses them to see how he can improve later and how to 'help' his partner get better too. Crimson: 'm gonna state here 'nd now that th' vamp dude likes ter be bitten as much 's he likes ter bite. Judge: Attends BDSM clubs randomly and is always that 'anonymous dude' that participates as the third player, although everyone knows who he is they all enjoy the performances too much to 'out' him.

Send a N S F W headcanon you may have for my muse and see if I like it

Crimson likes to be bit, indeed. But he prefers bites from other vampires, as his kind have a euphoric agent in their saliva. And indeed he does enjoy biting as many of his thralls have pavlov'd him into it.

As for attending bdsm clubs... yeah i can see it. Not sure if he'd bother being anonymous, but he would definitely attend and join in.

[sanguine-law]

I bet Joseph is self conscious/shy about any sounds he makes, therefore he muffles himself by either biting their partner or covering their mouth.

Send a N S F W headcanon you may have for my muse and see if I like it

He was at one point. He no longer is, fortunately or unfortunately. Crimson has embraced being a slut and a whore.

That said, he doesn't make a number of the sounds he makes are akin to purrs and hums.

[sanguine-law]

nsfw headcanon: he takes it up the butt but he doesnt prefer it

Send a N S F W headcanon you may have for my muse and see if I like it

Amusing, kind of right. He does take it up the ass, however Crimson will switch up whether he's taking or giving. What aspect he's doing depends on a few factors.

Though many days, as much as he enjoys anal due to a breeding kink, he actually enjoys giving oral more often.

thinking again about vampirism as disability

[apolloendymion]

what if you slept all day and woke at night, lonely and frustrated. what if you couldn't go to social events, or even mundane public spaces like stores. what if you couldn't see the sun. what if you couldn't go to the pool, or the beach, or the creek. what if you couldn't eat what everyone else is eating. what if you couldn't eat at all. what if your basic needs came at the cost of your loved ones' quality of life. what if you became agitated, confused, maybe even violent if your needs weren't met. what if people blamed your behavior on demons, or worse, your own inherent evil. what if people saw you as a threat to your own community. what if the default response to your suffering was either indifference or violence. what if people thought you were better off dead, that you no longer count as human, that they're doing you a favor by letting you disappear. what if people assumed you must somehow deserve all of this. what about that.

[sanguine-law]

Are you French? Because Eiffel for you.

"That depends who you ask. But my my, have you really?" He smirked more. "I suppose a vampire must be alluring to any being."

He still remembered what Shorty did, but that wouldn't stop the vampire from playing along.

"Of course, you may want to check for any injuries from that fall."
