this blog will be archived and its muses moved to a larger multimuse in the future. i will post when the project is completed with a link to the blog.

last call for muse recommendations on the multi. once i have all the pages assembled with info i will not be touching them again in terms of adding characters. for those not in the know, this is concerning my attempt to consolidate all of my multis into a single entity as i no longer have the free time or brainpower to give each page due interest. i want to give my followers an opportunity to present potential characters to me while i am in the process of this change, as i am doing so much coding and writing up so much about muses anyway. please not, however, that i will be using discretion in choosing which muses i will take on and which i might not or might put off adding until a later date. 

the form to recommend/request a muse can be found here.

Starter call! Might dm you to plot but I'm excited to write with everyone!

at this point all karin’s wet dreams start this way.

[islecast]

if you assume because karin dresses like a sexless dark academia enthusiast that she is not armed, that is on you. she is a relatively small, easily gobbled up human woman in the deep end of the weird supernatural world. she bought a pistol upon her return to the island and keeps it either on her person or in her desk at all times. she’s not sure that a bullet, even a silver one, could ever stop a vampire -- she’s just banking on being able to slow it down enough to either get help or escape.

she also keeps a gas cannister in her backseat and matches in her console. a little arson never hurt anyone but a bloodsucker, if it ever comes to that.

karin with lovely rich brown hair, dark chestnut, which she keeps bundled into a high and carefully styled bun. has thickly rimmed glasses, a peach of a mouth, and a slender form draped in turtlenecks and sweaters befitting a spinster from yesteryear.

oval faced, fair skinned, light eyed. compactly built and narrow nosed in the scandinavian fashion.

good tempered and melodiously voiced. pretty. not the beauty of the company she keeps, nor even of the rest of the strange assembly of women that dwell within the island, but a fair young woman with plenty of charm.

It's okay, Karin, you can be my juice box if you want. // @hxllion

Oh, Jesus. Oh, God. Oh no.

Panic knit its way into the air, clicking against her teeth in staccato. She had wanted to call out tonight for a reason, and that reason is young Dionysus in his designer jackets and marble skin. Pressing two fingers to each temple, she stared down at her desk, trying to look busy as she scanned over Daniel’s itinerary for the week. 

Somehow, a budgetary meeting that would come down to reprimanding Armand for sticking his fingers into the Island’s funds wasn’t so interesting as the glam rock god hovering around her atrium. He’s Mx. de Lioncourt’s, alright -- There’s not a thread of mercy between either of them.

Shut up was not an appropriate way to greet one of her boss’ oldest friends, no matter if it was said out of desperation or general rudeness.

“I’m sure I could.”

Wait. Fuck. That wasn’t it, either--

[Alastor]

The sound of his humming, echoing over the room, waves of sound washing around all the objects that filled it, gave him a pretty good look at the lay out. And then the magical signatures of the witch and her familiar, burned bright in his mental grid.

Her eyes on the radio, he continued to hum along until the song ended, letting his gentle static hang between them, before he spoke.

“You’re listening to Golden Oldies, with your host, Alastor! I’m taking requests, so be sure to call in!” An innocuous thing to hear on a radio certainly, but he was also fairly certain that she’d realize his voice was different from the actual announcer’s of the station.

The static was what unmade the whole scene, Ma Petite scrambling towards the back room that sheltered her. Above the din, Candel could just make out the sound of the creature throwing herself into her pool, seeking the most basic comforts she could find in such a moment. No honor among thieves, it seemed.

Haunted radios. Would wonders never cease? Tugging her hair into a low bun, she made ready for business, for the matter of clearing the gears of lingering malignance. Alastor, or whatever the spirit truly was, had made no move against her yet -- But anything that struck on the wrong side of the witching hour couldn’t be afforded the benefit of the doubt.

“How’s The Sound of Silence work for ya?” Sliding her hand beneath the counter, her fingers curled reflexively around the bowl she kept for situations like these. The radio was new, but spirits were all too common. Salt sifted softly through her grasp, thick enough to be audible when sprinkled over the radio.

@sittimoranimiinterfectorem liked for KARIN LINDHOLM.

Ninety-one pages. It only takes Ninety-one pages for her to find the first hint of the man she has known all too well. Flicking the cheap paperback to page ninety-two, she sucks in a breath, eyes widening.

The phone is a shrill reminder of the world outside a Venetian palazzo, of a modern existence where she actually has something to do in this glass-lined office. Unperturbed, Karin lifts the receiver to her ear, chattering on robotically with her best Customer Service Voice. 

“Office of Mr. Molloy, how can I help you tonight?” A pause, pale eyes still dancing across the faded paper. “He’s not in right now, sir. Would you like to leave a message?” Exhaling slow, she places the book onto her desk, still open to the passage that has captivated her. Clicking her pen, she takes swift note on a pad of paper older than she is. “Yes, sir, I will make sure he gets that. You too, sir--”

Somewhere down the hall, a door clicks open. Craning her neck, she leans to see who has put in an appearance. Him, yes, him, the origin of the night’s entertainment. Resting the phone back into its cradle, she stands and lifts the first of David’s memoirs for Armand to see.

“An axe, really? You couldn’t have found a cannon to let him know how you really felt--” Lazily waving The Vampire Armand towards its subject, she has one thought alone -- Heeeeeere’s Amadeo. Falling back into her seat, she places the alleged fiction back onto her desk.

“Boss said something about a lot of this being made up. ‘David took liberties,’ he said. Is... I mean, I assume that has to be real.”

i definitely think candel, josette, and susan are more historically based -- the former two are college students just getting started in life as of qotd, after all, and make their way to the island during the 90s. both of them have established their storylines as of the dawn of the 21st century, with candel ruling over her stretch of the island and josette having courted the favor of a vampire who might save her from mortality. susan only becomes a player in the larger narrative after david’s turning, also during the 1990s.

considering that karin and kris’ parents had their first meeting during qotd, the sisters are firmly rooted in the modern era. they are coming in after the older ocs have made their mark and grown into new storylines and character arcs and trying to piece together whatever happened before karin was hired on at the island.

[islecast]

the easy assumption to make is that candel and josette are a send up to a certain vampire pair -- the whimsical, sociable former theater kid who pals around with a more solemn, bookish creole. if you look at them from that perspective, you’re sure to see them as simply the modern and subtly sapphic retread of existing lore.

contrary to the stereotype most assume them to be walking, however, candel is the cautious and thoughtful one trying to catch up with josette and keep her from doing reckless, impulsive things that might not end well for her. in this brotp, candel holds the braincell and josette runs from it as fast as she can.

candel!!! // @usedhearts

B A S I C S

full name: candelaria marisol silverio y hidalgo

gender: witch

sexuality: bisexual

pronouns: she/her

O T H E R S

family: parents haridian and manuel, lost in a flood when candel was 4. after their deaths, she was raised by her maternal grandparents leon and moneiba. though she hardly remembers her parents, she had a good relationship with her grandparents that lasted til the day they died, and candel stays especially loyal to moneiba’s memory.

birthplace:  st. bernard parish, louisiana

job: small business owner ; witch ; community leader

phobias: aerophobia ; the fear of flying

guilty pleasures: daytime soap operas ; being the center of attention.

M O R A L S

morality alignment?: neutral good ; she might play with order and chaos depending on the situation, but her intentions and actions are for the most part altruistic.

virtues - chastity/charity/diligence/humility/kindness/patience/justice

R E L A T I O N S H I P S

otp: for me, it’s merrick/candel, because the black sheep of the mayfairs might make candel come around to a return to her home state to reinstate order after the family’s fall from grace. for candel herself, she wants lestat so bad it makes her look stupid.

ot3: that said, she wants to be the filling in a master/fledgling filling if it involves her best friend and her maker.

brotp: candel and josette! they are best friends and support one another through it all. as of modern day the two have known one another for over thirty years, and their affinity for one another is clear.

notp: god idk have you tell i only have two thought out relationship dynamics for her and one of them amounts to ‘tvl fan club president, new orleans chapter’?
