I Perfectly Understand That Dark Cacao Kingdom Is Based On Ancient Korea, But Since Affogato's Clothing

My emo teenage self would never think I'd ever say something like this, but now, at my 21'st birthday, I'm so glad to be alive and still be here!! Still don't feel like I'm an adult now, but my parents said it'll come

I just want to put it out there: even though I'm a die-hard Shadowfaerie fan (the 40+ pages fanfiction about them must be a hint to this but idk), I am in full support of other Elder Faerie pairings*, for instance – ElderCacao. I think one day I'm absolutely going to write something about them too, because, well, I appreciate the rarity – it takes guts to ship something so rare, I also appreciate the aesthetic (the entire Elder Faerie's and his Kingdom vibe is Silmarillion/LOTR coded, but this particular pairing – especially, for some reason), and also old man yuri supremacy. I have nothing against that as well, but honestly I'm fed up with DC being shipped exclusively with fragile little meow-meows, give him someone Tolkienishly knightly already 🍃✨🧝‍♀️

*aside from, perhaps, ElderLily, but not because I actively dislike them or sm, I'm just not particularly interested in them 🙌

WOW IT'S GORGEOUS

will you save me a dance?

I like this take, but I always thought that instead of Torries, Ventrue are the best match for Nosferatu for some reason

The VTM subreddit had some discussion of Nosferatu/Toreador romance the other day but the peak inter-clan pairing for me will always be Salubri/Tzimisce.

It’s the rich contrast between “I was created to be a healer. My touch erases pain and casts out evil. I can’t even feed if it would cause suffering, even if I am on the edge of starvation. My clan’s progenitor described his childer as lambs made to be sacrificed,” versus “Other clans know me by a word that means ‘demon.’ My hands are tools of torture and mutilation and even acts that are attempts at reconstruction rather than ripping apart are agonizing. My blood ties me to the land and the land is poison. The power that is my greatest strength is also a disease that is eating me from the inside out.“

It’s “Your abilities indelibly mark you as an enlightened savior while mine mark me as a horrifying monster.” It’s “I worship you because you’re everything I could never be.” It’s “I was doomed from the start but maybe if I take on the burden of violence so you can stay pure, I can find some kind of redemption.” It’s “I adore you but I’m terrified to touch you.” It’s “We couldn’t be more different, but we are both united in the horror of knowing we have no choice but to be exactly what we are.”

No tbh I understand that everyone was crying and upset when Elder Faerie died, but now I'm kinda convinced that he deliberately decided to perish because he knew that Shadow Milk likes to torture his targets with his quizzes and only died to avoid the insane bitter-ex-lore leak

(324) Your name is Escapement. You picked it yourself, because when there's nobody else to assign significance to your existence, you might as well do it yourself.

You are a Decepticon vehicon.

You don't know much, but, contrary to what your commanding officer reckons, even vehicons do know some stuff. For instance, here's a list of vital information you knew this morning:

Life is not fair.

Extenuating circumstances, second chances and begging for your life are privileges for officers only. You're a grunt, so failure means death. The end.

Any mission to destroy Optimus Prime is a suicide mission from the start.

The Decepticon war machine doesn't pay you to ask questions or backtalk. (They don't pay you at all.)

And by midnight, you also know some totally new but equally vital information:

When Megatron assigns you a mission to kill Optimus Prime, you are absolutely, categorically, not actually meant to kill Optimus Prime.

But it's too late to be learning new information now, isn't it? Even your CO looks pitying when he tells you to report to Megatron for your reward...

I remember once saying that Mystic Flour cookie is eerily creepy: that she has this mysterious (pun intended) vibe around her that makes me shiver a little bit (plus her colourless design in contrast with her mostly red-brown lobby that makes her almost ghost-like)

Now, with the Burning Spice update, that can't be applied to him: he's literally scary

I'm not even saying anything about his design, but just the aura he possesses: he'd literally meant to be a Great Destroyer, which is something that you can almost viscerally feel by listening to his theme and just by his voice. That's someone you're supposed to be fearing, because he could and will hurt you. Adding to that our expectations: devsis already dropped the map of Beast-Yeast with the Faerie Kingdom update, and that made me wondering back then: who is this Great Destroyer, the literal God of Destruction. What were they like? How will they be introduced?

And I've got exactly what I was hoping for. No more Mystic Flour's subtlety, just pure terror. Now that's some incredible character- and worldbuilding

there is something so romantic about vampirism as a whole. like yes i can have your body but i crave something beyond your looks. i crave what's inside of you, what keeps you alive. i have to bathe my tongue in your most valuable essence, my fangs like blades have to know how your flesh tastes like
