Aaron

At the beginning, it quite frustrates him. Not because he hates your voice, he quite likes the sound of it actually – but it broke his peaceful, lonely moments. However, he didn’t shut you up or anything similar, he never leaves when you start talking about anything, no matter what it is.

He made some jokes at first, such as “do you even breathe between sentences??” so you could genuinely have some time to catch a breath. 

He started liking the routine though. He even caught himself learning some of the tiniest details of your stories or interests: your childhood memories, your deepest passions, which weather you hate, what kind of food do you like…

Aaron actually uses this information about you to gift you subtle things. Maybe your favorite food, or maybe something comforting that could remind you of your childhood.

So basically, 1st talkative and listener dynamic.

By the time the relationship starts, he has already gotten used to make a part of his routine to simply listen to your rantings. And it is one of the main reasons why he loves you, because the sound of your voice along with so many interesting things makes you cute.

This would also achieve that Aaron talks more and opens up to you about his own stories.

Whenever you’re more quiet than usual, he genuinely gets worried and checks on you constantly. 

Beliath

He has always found this amusing. The moment he saw that you wouldn’t stop talking, he’d be actively asking you questions or comments so you can bring up more stuff to talk about. 

He thought you were cute but too naive by sharing so many stuff with someone you just met. 

Sometimes, he would try to tease you by interrupting you, trying to distract you constantly. He’d approach more than he should to you, he could stare at you with his intense emerald eyes, he could even caress your arm teasingly… and simply with the intention of seeing you stutter and lose track on your speech.

Late night talks! Well, actually it would be morning talks since they live during the night – but you get me! Late “night” talks as you both are in bed, staring at the ceiling and cuddling. You’d see him so relaxed that he’d even open his heart to reveal things about him as well. 

Talk without filters with him, he loves it.

He knows he can be vulnerable with you, even if it takes him a while to accept it himself.

Beliath would certainly make references to any story you explained him, mainly the funny and ridiculous ones. Obviously he wouldn’t make any reference about any sad story you’ve told him – and if he accidentally offends you, he’d apologize at the moment.

Loves when you get talkative in front of others as well, but deeply hopes that you only share the most personal ones with him.

Raphael

He listens to you as if every single word was important, and would actively listen to you. It might seem contradictory by the simple fact that he is almost always immersed on the quietness of the library, but the reality is that he enjoys when others remember that he can be a good listener.

He nods, smiles when you get excited about stuff or comforts you by holding your hand when you get more sensitive. 

Once you apologized to him for talking too much, and his main reaction was a quick “no, no! Please, keep talking. It’s not annoying at all.” And he means it. 

Your voice calms him down. It is quite better to hear anyone’s voice rather than his when he is alone because his thoughts would ruin his day and you make it better by just being there. His anxiety leaves, his negative thoughts are silenced and he focus on you.

Your conversations can lead to have deep talks with him, as he’d make questions to stimulate you to keep talking. Emotionally, your relationship is truly intimate.

He recognizes your tones: when you’re happy or excited, when you’re mad, when you’re sad. And that helps him to know how to act about certain situations. 

And sometimes… you run out of topics to talk about, or you simply have no energy to talk that much. Raphael gets worried about you, naturally. But he’d invite you to enjoy he quietness of the library and simply enjoy his embrace or company. He might even be the one talking about anything interesting he has read lately if you wish to clear your mind from any negative thoughts.

You both love how the emotional intimacy makes your connection stronger.

Vladimir

This is quite a big contrast to him. Unlike Aaron, he used to voice his annoyance at the beginning. He crossed his arms as you kept talking, not interrupting you, but hoping to take advantage of any slight moment of silence to voice his irritation.

Obviously the first time he reacted this wrongly to you was a sign to stop. And Vladimir felt something strange about it the first days. He saw you talking too much to others and being awkwardly quiet when he was around, and that woke up an inner guilt on him. 

He had to make a big effort to get close to you and apologize for being that rude. 

Vladimir used to make efforts to be patient whenever you talked. But with time he realized that, just as Raphael felt, listening to you was like a great way to silence his negative thoughts. And this man truly needs to shut his brain from being so negative for once, so you were a great help.

He starts enjoying the constant ranting. Vladimir wouldn’t actively participate but would subtly react to your stories: maybe smiling a little at your excitement towards some topic, maybe softening his eyes when you share something personal with him, maybe frowning when something bad has happened to you.

As he works on taking care of his flowers, you’d be talking to him non-stop and he definitely adores that. It becomes a part of the routine and would miss it if you weren’t there –  he truly does miss you when you aren’t there.

During his reading time, you also share the quietness with him. Vladimir also enjoys to see you rest, enjoy of the silence and share the blanket with him under which he reads.

Ethan 

I hope you know that he won’t be nice at the beginning. While Vladimir was quite respectful to make you shut up, he is not. Definitely not. He isn’t patient and gets easily overstimulated and irritated, so the moment he saw you talked non-stop he spitted “don’t you ever get tired of talking this much?” with a rude tone.

He saw that it was common for you to talk that much, since you did it with everybody else. And one day in which he needed peace and to rest his mind, he decided to spend time with Beliath. You joined them to talk mainly with Beliath, and it was strange that Ethan didn’t interrupt you or anything as usual. That day he decided to listen to you, to give you a chance. And he got truly immersed on your words.

That day allowed him to be more opened to talk to you instead of dodging you whenever you approached. He tried to be more patient and less rude – it was an unique trait of your personality that he found interesting (he liked it but wouldn’t confess it).

It’s usual for him to tease you whenever you just talk and talk and talk. And even if he’s an asshole, he still pays attention to your words and remembers details about your stories. 

When you both start dating, he makes sure you know that your words are important and he cares about them. Actually, he’d have you cuddling with him whenever you open up about anything (personal or not) so it can feel intimate.

More than once he has taken both of your hands on his and has kissed them. Then he says “thanks for trusting me enough to tell me all of this”.

Ivan

He can get very talkative as well, so this isn’t a problem for him. He actually adores it! It’s truly cute for him that you easily get excited with your passions to rant about them non-stop, or that you’ve got many topics to talk about.

The bad thing is… he might dissociate every now and then whenever you’ve been talking too much because he has the attention span of a kid sometimes. So get ready to re-explain something twice or three times, or to get asked the most obvious and stupid questions. He might apologize for this because he doesn’t want you to think that he doesn’t care, because he actually cares!

If you both share the same interest, it would turn into an active dialogue instead of a monologue. He’d talk just as much as you, and you both might even interrupt each other from the many things you’ve gotta say.

There might be times in which it is your turn to be the listener of this man because he will get talkative as well.

More than once, you’ve been awake until late hours and Vladimir, Ethan or Aaron had to knock at your door to make you both shut up because you were raising your voices too much from the excitement.

You might see him falling in love even more with you when you just talk, because you can see his eyes melt as he listens to you. He might stare, to the point in which you can easily tease him for staring that long at you.

I love the subtle music changes for every vampire in moonlight lovers

[hassedah]

I don't think I've ever seen anyone talk about this, but what last name do you think the boys+neil would have? Have a nice day<3

What are the boys' last names? :

Hi! How are you? I hope you are well! ^^

Here's the headcanons you requested! I hope you enjoy it! ^^

It was a bit complicated because family names didn't always exist. But I did what I could to try and remain consistent.

Take care of yourself and have a nice day! ^^

Vladimir :

I assume that Vladimir has an English last name and not one of the upper classes of the time, given that his mother is one of the new rich.

I think he didn't get his father's last name because I imagine that Vladimir's father's relationship with his family must really not have been good, by which I mean that his mother's family is not the only rich family in Europe at the time and yet that's who he chose for an arranged marriage, when it would have been much simpler to take a Hungarian family and not move so far away from the land he was supposed to inherit (I mean, it's shooting yourself in the foot to move so far away). Secondly, Vladimir doesn't seem to know exactly where his father's family lives, which seems a bit strange because : You don't travel much in those days, but you exchange letters with your family and friends and, above all, there are maps, boats and the train which is developing. What's more, Vladimir's mother's family is rich, so they can pay for the journey without any problems.

Vladimir is still very attached to his last name, which is a bit unusual for a vampire of his age. He continues to use it frequently, whether to sign letters or other documents, or even to introduce himself to other vampires.

Béliath :

I don't think there are any family names for incubi and succubi, there probably aren't very many of them and they are all easily recognisable by a particular feature, such as "Asmodeus the powerful", without doubt Beliath is known as Beliath son of Asmodeus.

He really doesn't understand the purpose of last names among humans, or how they're supposed to be passed on, let alone why some people are so attached to them - after all, he doesn't have one and he doesn't mind. He wouldn't mind taking his partner's last name if his partner wanted it.

He sometimes uses last name when he wants to pass himself off a bit more as a human, but they're always the most basic last names possible. He used to have fun using more original ones, but Aaron pointed out to him that it was stupidly dangerous to make himself stand out even more than he already was by his behaviour, so since then he's been much more careful.

Ivan :

I can imagine him having a compound last name, perhaps a French last name and a Slavic last name. My idea is that at least one of his parents comes from a Slavic country or has parents from a Slavic country (which would explain his first name other than the idea that his parents were fans of a film character called Ivan).

Ivan, like the vast majority of young vampires, finds it hard to shake off his family name. He uses it often, much too often in the eyes of Aaron, who finds it dangerous, after all, the town is small and there shouldn't be any namesakes. Ivan tries hard to break the habit, but he can't help it, he's still too attached to his last name to forget it.

Sometimes he tries to use a different one, but they're often last names taken from films or characters he really likes. It's no more discreet than his real last name, but Aaron thinks it's better than nothing.

Aaron :

It's more complicated for Aaron because I have no idea how last name evolved in Spain during the century in which he was born. But I suppose if he has a last name it's probably his mother's, as he was born out of wedlock and his mother doesn't seem to have lived with his father. Perhaps something to do with sewing, as his mother was a seamstress for the village, so he would probably have been known as the seamstress's son.

Aaron has almost forgotten his last name anyway. He never uses it and isn't even sure how it's supposed to be spelt. It doesn't really matter to him though, it's just a last name and he doesn't feel particularly attached to it, preferring to be known as his mother's son as he was brought up entirely by her.

Most of the time, when he has to use a last name, he uses very common last name depending on the country he lives in: Smith when he lives in England, for example, or Martin when he lives in France. Its aim is to go as unnoticed as possible.

Raphaël :

There's not much difference in age between Raphael and Aaron, and I don't know how the family name evolved in Italy at that time either. But, I suppose it would be an Italian last name, probably related to art or painting, especially if his family had been painters for several generations. If his father was famous, there's a good chance that he would also have called himself Raphael, son of "his father's name". On the other hand, if it was his family in general that was famous, he would probably have defined himself by a last name.

He likes his last name, even though he doesn't use it any more, it's still part of his life in one way or another. He wouldn't introduce himself with it though.

Raphaël doesn't care about discretion, if he has to use a last name he'll always choose something nice to the ear, even if it's completely out of tune with the time or place he lives in. This really annoys Aaron, because yes, Raphaël will use the last name Rossignol without hesitation, a nightingale is pretty, so why shouldn't he use it, and yes, he'll also use the last name Citron, he likes lemons and yellow is a very pretty colour, so why shouldn't he be called Raphaël Citron?

Ethan :

A Finnish last name, I imagine a fairly common one. There's a good chance it's his father's last name.

He remains quite attached to it, even though he hasn't used his last name for years. After all, it's the last thing he has left of his parents that still ties him to his family. However, nobody at the manor knows him, he really prefers to keep it to himself like a secret; he doesn't think he'd like to hear one of his housemates call him by his last name.

Like Raphaël, he uses last names that he likes rather than discreet ones, and he uses a lot of last names from films or video games that he likes, so he's already introduced himself as Skywalker or Wayne, much to Aaron's dismay.

Neil :

There isn't really a last name at the time, I think the way he defines himself changes between before he takes hostages and after, before I'd see him introducing himself more as Neil son of "his father's name" (and even then given that the relationship with his father was pretty bad I doubt he really wanted to define himself that way) then if you follow the canon of the game and the history he'd introduce himself as Neil Noígíallach after taking the 9 hostages. But as with many people at the time, it's more a name to show off his exploits than a real last name.

I don't think he uses his last name much. He uses it to impress people and to remind them that he's old and powerful. But he doesn't attach too much importance to it.

He is one of the only vampires who can present himself under his family name. So he doesn't try to invent one when he wants to introduce himself. Vampires who know a bit about Irish history immediately understand who he is, and apart from humans who know a bit about Irish history, most don't really react.

Léandra :

As with Beliath, Leandra is better known as Leandra daughter of Asmodeus. She has not yet achieved anything significant enough to be known for it, but she's trying to achieve something big enough among the succubi to be known for it.

She doesn't understand at all the attraction humans have for family names, or why they always seem to be passed down through the father. As far as she's concerned, if they were to be passed down at all, it would only be through the most powerful parent or the one who has achieved the greatest feat.

When she has to introduce herself under a last name among humans, she always looks for something amusing and sensual. Yes, she has no problem calling herself Léandra Blackwidow, she even finds it very amusing. In fact, she makes a lot of puns with her first name.

Farah :

She's older than Aaron and I have the same problem as him. What's more, given that she left her family with her brother after a row with their father, I'd imagine there's little chance of her introducing herself as Farah, daughter of "her father's name". Perhaps she'd introduce herself as Farah, Ernesto's sister for a while and then probably as Farah, "the pack leader's name".

She understands the usefulness of last name but has never actually used one. It's not something that's really common among werewolves, as most of them define themselves by the pack to which they belong. In most cases, a last name is completely useless.

If she really has to use a last name, she'll look for something common to the time and country she's in, to try and go as unnoticed as possible.

BEST MEN. argue with the wall💋

[klamv-art]

I'm making another series of portraits similar to the one I did of the Eldarya men but with the characters from Moonlight lovers (including Eloise) and I would like to know if you have any headcanons for them that I could include 🤲🏼👀

[diamo-chan]

I still love Ivan, after all I'm a dirty little apologist. Although, under these conditions I doubt Ethan would be willing to treat Pheebes wounds.

I'd love to replay their routes, but I kinda don't want to buy coins ... or wait an eternity to get through them with the daily coins
