Playing a game explicitly about being a predator and then insisting your character is different they're nice is. Idk. Why are you playing the blood drinking mind control exploitation game if you don't want to engage with the core themes.

In celebration of the Oblivion remaster, I once again want to direct folks toward the amazing work of Adam Adamowicz. A lot of fans are likely familiar with his work on Skyrim, but it was his concept art for The Shivering Isles that had such an impact on me. His mastery of traditional markers and ink is unlike anything I've ever seen. Wherever you are, Adam - thank you for inspiring an entire generation of fantasy artists.

Bethesda has had a flickr album of his Oblivion DLC art available since 2012. I highly encourage you to check it out. Some of the coolest stuff.

VtM Fang Fest 2025!

Hello tumblr Vamily! I'm pleased to present:

The fuckyeahlabynight Vampire the Masquerade Fang Fest 2025!

To be held June 1 - 14, 2025.

This year's theme is Vices and Virtues, as used in the nWoD system. In the New World of Darkness system (home of Vampire: the Requiem, amoung others...) acting within their Vices and Virtues are one way how characters regain Willpower, and often inform aspects of the character's personality.

"Virtues and Vices are held by every single denizen of the World of Darkness. They show the duality of morality, and give a character something to strive for as well as a tempting place to fall."

How it works:

This is a super low-key fandom event fuckyeahlabynight hosts each year. The point is to have fun and make something creative to fill the prompts.

Each day, starting on June 1 and finishing on June 14, post whatever fan work you've made inspired by the Vices and Virtues prompt (eg. art, fic, gifs, poetry, music playlists, mood boards, whatever). I am giving you several weeks heads up to aid your creative process. You do not need to focus on LA by Night, NY by Night, or Project Ghostlight. Feel free to use your vampire OCs if it pleases you to do so!

When you post your creations, please include the hashtag #fangfest25 so they can all be collected here. If you can't think of anything for a particular prompt, or are otherwise unable to finish, it's perfectly fine to skip it. It's also fine to post your creations late. So long as you use the hashtag and I'm able to find it, it will be reblogged here regardless.

As always, those who are not taking part in making fan works are encouraged to like, comment on, give kudos, and share their favourites! Part of the fun is seeing what everyone else has made. Collaboration is also encouraged, so reach out to your fellow Kindred and see what you can come up with!

More info on each of the prompts will be below the cut. See you in June!

Pride: Extreme self-confidence, arrogance, ego, vanity. When you exert your own wants (not needs) over others, thinking you are better than them.

Greed: Avarice, desire for material objects to the point of excess. When you WANT something that you don't actually NEED, at the expense of another.

Wrath: Sadism, anti-social, hot-headed, uncontrolled anger and fury. Using your anger in situations that are completely unwarranted and inappropriate, often leading to violence.

Envy: Covetousness, jealousy, paranoia that others want to hurt you for what you have. Similar to greed, but more specifically you want only what others have.

Lust: Uncontrolled desire, lasciviousness, impatience. (Not always sexual!) You need to satisfy your passions in a way that victimizes another person.

Gluttony: Epicurean, over-consuming, over-indulging, addiction. You may not necessarily be indulging in food. It also applies to drugs, drinking, etc. to the point of harming yourself or others.

Sloth: Apathy, depression, cowardice, ignorance, laziness and lack of gumption. When you avoid completing a task, whatever that task may be, and others are forced to do it for you.

Faith: Conviction, humility, loyalty, belief. (Not necessarily in a god, though this is often the case.) It offers you a feeling of stability and meaning in a dark, chaotic world.

Charity: Generosity, sharing, giving instead of receiving, compassion, mercy, altruism. You risk yourself to help another in spite of any losses that may be suffered.

Fortitude: Courage, stoicism, mettle, integrity, stubbornness. You are able to withstand pressure to stray from your chosen course or long-held ideals.

Hope: Dreams, optimism, utopia. You refuse to allow yourself or others give in to despair and horror.

Prudence: Patience, vigilance, restraint. You refuse to take action that feels good in the short term, in favour of actions that benefit you in the long term.

Temperance: Moderation, chastity, even-temperament, being frugal and balanced in all things. You never indulge in any kind of excess behaviour.

Justice: Righteousness, condemnatory, judgement, protecting those who cannot protect themselves and punishing the atrocities and cruelties committed against them. You do The Right Thing, based on what you think is the right thing to do, regardless of how it may set you back.

~

Special note: Something to keep in mind when completing the prompts... In moderation, the vices are not always bad. A complete lack of pride, for example, can lead to zero self-worth and low self-esteem. Likewise, an excess of the virtues can also be a bad thing. For example, someone who is charitable to a fault may give away things they need for their own survival.

Apparently Target is rethinking being anti DEI because foot traffic in their stores has been declining for like 10 weeks straight and their stock has been dropping in unison and listen, I know a lot of this is probably because consumer spending goes down in general when the economy is unstable (tarrifs, mass federal gov layoffs etc.) but I think we should just keep running boycotts of different brands to convince them that they only make money when they're woke. I know we dunked on rainbow capitalism because it was cornball and performative but I don't even give a shit. These companies shouldn't be able to be openly pro-Trump and expect us to ignore it. They should not be allowed to bend the knee to racist, xenophobic, homophobic, transphobic, abelist, generally bigoted culture war bullshit without taking a hit to their bottom line. These billionaire dipshits wanted unfettered capitalism with a madman at the helm and they should not be allowed to enable that without feeling some of the hurt along with the rest of us. Make these corporate assholes think money is stored in the woke
