— how does your muse feel about vampires "coming out of the coffin" ? additionally how has it affected your muse ?
with utmost honesty and all due respect , bill hates this development. the push for public notoriety posed an insane risk for him and all other vampires. humans are some of the most unforgiving creatures to live and the fear they harbor makes his existence a struggle. of course he can defend himself , but he doesn't want to have to. he just wants a normal life , and that ideal was much easier to procure when his kind wasn't exposed for who they are.
— what was your muse up to prior to the news ?
trying to find home. which was initially why he came to mystic falls , his origins still remain in bon tempts which he tried to settle in his little home town but something was missing. a little too simple for his tastes. it lacked the feeling of home , with a handful of skeletons lingering in his closet it settled as more of a reminder of the pain he's suffered.
— what goals / aspirations does your muse currently hold ?
bill's goal with mainstreaming is just to live a simple life , a little while in the 1938 - when he left lorena - he'd visited mystic falls on business and something about the scenery and the people seemed to captivate him. this is where he plans to make his home and live a ( hopefully ) peaceful & comfortable life.
— what important canonic alterations have you made for your muse ?
the biggest change as of right now is that bill is a bit of a ripper. this makes him extremely cautious of his relations with humans and witches alike. dear lord , and we will see what happens with fae.
— what are some plotlines you would like to see for your muse ? what connections are on your wishlist for them ?
literally give this man all the drama and angst. thrust him into it. it's none of his business ? make it his business.
i really want him to have a connection with a witch that he is extremely gracious too and holds a good relationship with. perhaps they help him with a daylight ring so he can feel the sun on his skin after years of being ensnared by the darkness of night time. this relationship would be probably pretty wholesome.
vampires that knew bill when he was a reckless orgie having , human killing machine. holding his history over his head and sorta just coming around to annoy the hell out of bill.
someone to suck into the avl drama tbh. mayhaps he's tasked with keeping an eye over mystic falls.
— do you have a playlist you associate with your muse -- please share if you do.
red right hand - nick cave & the bad seeds , blinding faith - knocked loose , bite the hand - boygenius , causality - linkin park , im your man - mitski , black hole - architects , it will come back - hozier , just another day - oingo boingo.
— what is one of your favorite qualities of your muse ? on the other side of things , is there anything about your muse that irks you ?
bill seems simple but he's not. he struggles with his true nature and controlling his urges to the point where it hurts. he hates true blood , he hates animal blood , he wants his meals from the vein. but he forces himself take what he needs. he craves normalcy so much that he aches because of it. he's passionate and compassionate and cares so deeply. but he's not afraid to use force where needed. bill likes to think of himself as a pacifist. his overall good nature is admirable especially with his struggles - on the other hand that can be mind numbing.
