remmick thinks he’s the coolest most charming most persuasive vampire in the whole world but he wouldn’t last a MINUTE in the cage with her

I have some headcanons about Marko because the lil curly haired weirdo is scampering around in my brain currently.

He's the most artistically inclined (obviously), with so much time now he's begun to explore mediums outside of just sewing. His particular fascination at the time of the movie is painting.

Marko talks like a stoned surfer, calls everyone dude and is fond of special brownies. He will smoke, but it's not his favorite method.

He's the most playful, right behind Paul, those two give David a migraine but Dwayne keeps their shenanigans from destroying the den.

Marko is either gay or pan with a lean towards men. He was disowned for this in his past life and had been turned homeless for a while before he joined the pack.

He's the most social groomer of the four, he's usually always the one to help David fix his hair up. I imagine they use various old punk methods, soap charging, egg yolk, that kinda deal.

While they can't deal with moving waters, Marko loves the sound of rain. He'll crawl up into the carcass of the hotel and listen to the rain for hours in peace.

He loves the pigeons, but he's also creepily good at mimicking them. He uses pigeon coos to be affectionate.

While Marko's the most playful he's just about the only one who actually winds down, he's a fantastic cuddler for this reason, he can go from a mile a minute to standing vigil for hours just limp in one spot.

He can purr, but it's a trilling purr, he only really purrs when he's happiest.

I am tired of this, it's not exactly sunlight that kills vampires (or else they would have to avoid moonlight). It obviously uv rays from the sun.

If you had to make any of the four swords boys a vampire, who would it be and why?

Or alternatively, If the boys were all mythical creatures what you choose for each of them and why? 😊

So I've actually discussed making all the four swords boys vampires before using the Vampire The Masquerade system and types here

If you wanna go vampire tropes in general thoughhhhh:

All of them have their merits as Vampires- Vio would be a fun classic romantic Vampire, in the Vein of Carmilla. Carmilla was a much more human classic Vampire, her motivation was companionship- she was more into manipulating her victims rather than hunting them for sport and thats how Vio would strike me in terms of vampiredom. He would be super fun in that kind of setting.

Red and Blue both would strike me as modern Vampires- Red leans into a more anime vampire trope where the vampire can be manipulative and blood thirsty but is generally kind- and a personal head canon of mine is modern Blue would be big into cybergoth and industrial dance, so he still fits into club going modern vampire to me. I can also see him as a lost boys kinda Vampire in a way. " You're a shit sucking Vampire?! " feels like something he'd say.

Both Shadow and Green strike me as Romantic vampires who have lived to the modern day- Shadow's romanticism being more akin to Carmilla and Greens striking me as more of a " Louis de Pointe du Lac " Vampire- where he's not old in terms of Vampiredom but he is from a past time period and he tries more often than not to do good. He wants to be a good person while also having the inner battle of being a slave to sanguine thirst.

I've briefly alluded to seeing Vaati as a kinda modern recreation of Nosferatu/book depiction of Dracula. Dracula is a known shape changer and works through manipulation and magic. He's cunning and has a single goal.

So honestly I'd do it to all of them, because they'd all be such fun to play with in different Vampire tropes.

As for Mythical creatures!!! boyoboyoboy

Vio:

Vio being my fave makes me wanna make him a Gwragedd Anwwn. The idea of him having beauty that's fatal to even high fae so he has to mask and hide it is so fun. But I think I'd dial it back a bit and put him as a Gwragen; Vio being an excellent illusionist feels narratively compelling and accurate.

Shadow:

He's a changeling, plain and simple. He's a imitation of something that desperately wants to fit in with his supposed fate- but he can't. It's a relatable struggle tbh gbdgbhjfdhgb

Red:

Red is a brownie!!! Little helpful fae that sometimes takes your stuff so he can do things but will always return it! And sometimes finds shit you lost and puts it somewhere for you to find again! Sometimes has a prankster streak but is never malicious. Red is 100% a brownie. Could also be a dwarf with how I see him.

Blue:

Strikes me as a Dwarf as well. I also reaaaaaaly like the idea of him as a centaur. This is completely vibes- I just think both would fit him.

Green:

Temptation to just make a him a green man and be done for a laff is so tempting BGHFBGHFH. Fr tho I like the idea of him being a Dryad. Again, it's vibes, completely and truly.

Zelda:

I think she would be a Lake Maiden. They're cunning and wise and known to be beautiful. They're also known in some mythology to be fiercely loyal.

Vaati:

Feel like it's pretty safe to place him as a Djinn.

WIP Wednesday/Snippet Someday

A big HUGE thank you to everyone who's been tagging me in stuff while I've been out on vacation!!! I'm finally back, and I have so much to catch up on! (I'll be trying to post every single one of those tag games and asks as soon as possible!)

Please have a snippet of Chapter 7, going up this Sunday 9/8!!! I know some have been looking forward to it (you have no idea how over the moon that makes me!!!)

Anywho, please enjoy this hefty offering!

“His rules were absolute- it’s why I can't turn you into a vampire, Ofelia. I’m only a spawn- I’ve no freedom or thoughts of my own. I was nothing but a slave, forced to survive on vermin and hide from the sun. To enact his twisted will on the city without any say- he had total control of me and my siblings, I was on a leash at all times,” He barks a laugh, her eyes wide and her voice dead in her throat. “Then I was abducted and this is the best thing that’s ever happened to me- I can’t feel him constantly choking me, constantly watching me. This parasite may have stolen you all away from whatever lovely lives you’ve been living, but for me…” His voice is strong and deep, her chest caving in as she listens. “It’s the best thing that's happened to me since I died.”

She sits silently for a while, her mind a cyclone of emotion. Pity, compassion, sadness. All of it swirls around inside until they lock eyes again. He doesn’t look receptive to a tearful hug or anything of that sort, but she mouths the I’m sorry that’s been echoing in her skull since his pained confession. His jaw clenches and he nods sharply before looking away again, her tongue heavy in her mouth.

“You just have to ask me, and I’ll give.” She says, twisting her fingers around. That look of surprise is on his face again, in his eyes. It fills her with some kind of purpose- she’s not been able to do much in combat here, or really offer their party that much… but at least she can do this. At least she can give someone a hand. At least this way she can be useful.

“Why? Why do you offer so freely? What’s in it for you?” She stills at his words, the razor edge of wariness making her chest ache. Oh distrust, the ever flighty bird she’d once grown accustomed to.

“Nothing’s really in it for me, Astarion. I’d just like to help… I can tell you don’t really care for pity. So let me help in a way you’ll at least appreciate.” She doesn’t look up to meet his eyes. It feels strange somehow, like the things she’s saying are something to be bashful about. She’d do this for anyone. She’d bend over backwards for anyone. She’s just like that.

“You won’t try to suffocate me with embraces and heartfelt words?”

“Can’t promise the latter- space I accept. But you’ll have to put up with me caring.” When she looks up, his head is cocked as he appraises her curiously. His lips twist in discomfort at her mention of “caring”, but otherwise he doesn’t look angry. “If you want to keep drinking from me, you’ll just have to put up with the compassion. Got it?”

“I… suppose.” He grinds out through his teeth, fangs flashing in the sunlight. They’re smaller when he isn’t trying to bite her, just barely peeking out from below his upper lip when he speaks. When he’s about to drink, they’re long- an inch or two, if she’s right.

“Have your eyes always been red?” She asks after some time has passed, mind lingering on some of the finer details.

“No… that’ll be another symptom of vampirism.” He mumbles, and she turns to look at him lazily again.

“What color were they before?” His brow furrows and he looks genuinely lost- almost adrift. It’s replaced by a grim look of anger just as fast as she can blink.

“I don’t remember. I don’t remember a lot of things, actually…” She wants to say something, but he’s so closed off. She can tell he’s barely allowing this bit of conversation between them, and she doesn’t want to press… but she did tell him he’d have to endure a bit of her tender understanding, and what better time to pester him than now?

“I think the red looks really nice,” She says, watching his face stray into awe before settling on confusion. “And the fangs- they look good too. The paleness. It kind of suits you and all that… you’re not going to stop me, are you?” He smirks, lips lifting over one fang, and she can’t tell if he’d always done that or if he’d been hiding it before his identity had been revealed to her. Or if he’s only showing them off because of what she’d just said. Everything feels like a churning ocean in her gut and she doesn’t like the way staring at him twists up her insides and makes her sound stupid. Well. Stupider than usual.

“Do go on, not enough people mention my good looks.”

“Oh, I’m sure you haven’t heard a compliment in ages. Let me pull out all the stops for you.”

“I’m listening,” He analyzes his nails.

“Snobby.” He snickers. “Pretentious.” He grins. “Ungrateful.”

“Now I’m insulted, I came and thanked you, didn’t I?”

“Not since last night.”

“You need another reminder? Greedy.” They’ve leaned in close, so close she can see every pore on his face. She stiffens and pulls back, hiding the warble in her voice with a light cough as she’s sure her cheeks paint her in an embarrassing scarlet.

Tagging all you fine folks- can't wait to catch up on all your updates!

If we stay in vampires topics what about Got monster AU, for example Boltons as a vampires (bc u know, theory that Roose is a vamp) and Starks as werewolves...wait I can see so much potencial here

Stop it I would actually love this. But this idea has so much potential. Like. Starks as werewolves?? Yes fucking please. Bolton's as vamps?? It's canon in my eyes 😩😩🙏

Greyjoys as krakens?? Some other house as sirens?? Fuck give it to me 😩🙏
