★ the dividers featured in this post can be found here and my icon and header are from first issue of the darren shan manga (i just couldn’t resist crepsley being all dramatic)

★ it should be noted that i call the author darren shan mr shan, mr darren or mr darren shan so i can distinguish between him and the character

★ and with all that said i guess i should end this post with the only natural thing

“Even in death may you be triumphant”

the dramatic crepsley and darren meeting in the manga (as a treat)

Completing my trio of literary favorites of my youth is Darren Shan (and Madam Octa), of the book Cirque du Freak by Darren Shan (and series The Saga of Darren Shan). This may have been one of my first forays into a love and fascination with vampires that persists to this day. And, having just drawn Artemis Fowl, apparently also pale boys with black hair and blue/green eyes 😆

Evra and Darren peeling potatos.

I often remember this scene from the Vampire assistant book.

[laughingshadows]

Are vampires really infertile or did Desmond just make them incapable of reproducing with damn near everyone in their universe except those of his own blood, like Lady Evanna?

Hey, i hope i dont bother you with this but how about #62 of a family hug with Kernel Fleck with his brother Art or maybe his baby sister Annabella if you think she may have saved in the new recreated universe

[ID: A sketch of a young Kernel bouncing a toddler Art on his knee as he hugs him and his little sister Annabella. The Fleck siblings are all Black and biracial, but Kernel is brown skinned & bald, Annabella has brown skin and dark curly hair in puffs, and Art is light skinned with short, wispy dark hair. All three have their eyes closed but bright, loving smiles on their faces.] 

it’s my city now and i say no rules just right

[ID: A traditional pen drawing of Kernel Fleck from The Demonata series. Kernel is Black boy with brown skin, blue eyes, and is naturally bald. He is surrounded by floating multicoloured shapes framing his face like a collage. He has a neutral, if not slightly pensive expression on his face.]
