Random ikevamp moments i think about sometimes

just some sillies

they're so silly

[lukkabloom]

Discovered that my device doesn’t support the newest ikevamp update anymore rip :(( I love using old tablets for games haha With this sad realization, I decided to stop playing ikevamp. I don’t want to download it on my phone so I unfortunately won’t be up-to-date on ikevamp anymore.

However, I am still in love with the game and the characters itself so I will be posting content and other things from that game here. When new routes release in English, I plan to watch playthroughs of it on youtube. Similarly, I also plan to continue doing ikevamp radio translations since I enjoy listening to the silly shenanigans the voice actors do in each episode. I have a couple drawing wips and fics in my head that I hope to post soon.

It really sucks to start off this year with unfortunate news of me being unable to play one of my favorite games but it is what it is.

I’m not sure if I will be posting things other than ikevamp, as that was the main fandom I was posting for. I do play other games, but ikevamp has been the main thing of this page. I feel it would be a bit weird to suddenly change fandoms.

As sad as this is, I will be moving on from this sooner or later. I’m kinda relieved at the same time since I don’t have to go on grinds anymore. Those took too much of my time. On a positive note, I was able to finish both of Dazai’s route and unlock all his side stories during the time I was playing. That was fun. He’s the reason I came back to the game last year, and I’m glad I was able to read his completed route as it is now my favorite.

Anyways I hope everyone has an amazing rest of your day!!

a quick sketch of @yanderepuck's oc, Salai :))

idk why I struggled with his hair so much

[lukkabloom]

I WILL BE GETTING STARTED ON THAT SALAI FANART THIS WEEK OR SMTH

Ohh okay, I can see it now. So Salai moving out was a way for him to move on and separate himself from Leo symbolically and physically? I think I understand.

Dude, as much as I love MC, there's some routes where I literally want to bang my head against the wall because of the things she's doing. I'm not here to start a war, but I think she can be edumacated on some basic school subjects or something. She's emotionally intelligent, just not smart.

(Also what does she mean when she says she DIDNT KNOW NEWTON INVENTED CALCULUS??? That was my literal nightmare in high school???? Like I think my brain cells are whack but her's is on a different dimension sometimes.)

And I felt like the filler wasn't that bad actually. Some filler episodes in ikevamp literally does not contribute to the plot in any sense, but every scene where MC interacted with Salai felt important to the plot and/or their relationship.

I'm also gonna be taking your advice and reading all the info on Salai cuz I guess he's stuck on me now haha

one more obsession added to my list rip

Salaì Route Masterlist

This is a FAN MADE route of my oc, Salaì. This means this route contains my headcanons for the characters and in no way is suppose to represent the canon story. This is just a fun little time because I know many of you enjoy Salai. Feel free to engage, talk theories, send asks (even to @ask-salai ).

DISCLAIMER: His route his not canon to his character. Also, all of his lore in not in the route for simplicity reasons plus please feel free to ask about him.

PS, this is not like a normal otome game route, it was only supposed to be 8-10 chapters, so keep that in mind because things WILL FEEL RUSHED. I am NOT a professional writer, I do this as a HOBBY. Somethings are not in-depth as I would like. Please do not go into this thinking it is going to be written the same as the game. Things will feel rushed, I'm sure I could have gone deeper into symbolism, but this is just a fun silly little project, which is also why I encourage you to ask questions. Everything in the route make sense to me because he is my character and I may have not realized I didn't add info. I am proofreading as I post but that doesn't mean I won't miss something.

ALRIGHT I'VE BEEN GIVEN PERMISSION TO RANT AND RANT I SHALL

under the cut since spoilers

Just as I've said in my previous post, I love reading hcs that people have of canon characters, and ikevamp is no exception. I feel like there's an infinite number of possibilities because 90% of these characters are based on real-life counterparts and we can take some aspects of that into the headcanons. It just makes the experimenting all the more fun and interesting.

And because of these hcs, the interactions between each of the residents are so much more lively. Sebastian, for example, is much more unhinged in this story than in the original routes, and that's partly because there's a built-in connection between him and the other characters (including MC) that makes their conversations that much more fun to read.

I feel like one problem this series has (that so many ikevamp routes has too) is the pacing. And as a writer, I understand the difficulty in wanting to put so many things within a limited number of chapters. There's the one month time limit that MC has to fall in love with a suitor. And within that month, you need to introduce the suitor to MC, have her interact with them enough for them to form romantic feelings to each other, and have them get together as a couple. ON TOP OF THAT, there needs to be a secondary conflict with the suitor and their past that needs to be resolved within the month.

There's also the chapter limit of 25 chapters, with each chapter being not that long, either.

One thing I like about Salai's story is how you dabble small clues about his past ever since his first introduction. Even if you're not aware that he has a past with Leonardo, there's subtle clues throughout his interaction with him and MC that you get a glimpse of his past before he reveals it. Like how he speaks Italian, is from Milan, he's a painter, he has a cat, etc.

So many ikevamp suitors just have the big reveal about their past so late into their routes that it's just an unnecessary info-dump. It really hurts the plot and my brain when they do that, so I appreciate you taking the plot in small little chunks.

However, one thing that confused me a little bit was how the conflict with Leo and Salai was resolved. I know Salai spoke to Comte and Comte was like "I'll speak to Leo about it" but I didn't really see the plot resolve completely? Unless I missed something, of course. Or is Salai moving away from the manor, away from Leonardo, the resolution he gets? Is Salai not needing Leonardo's companionship the development? Leo just seems like a big a-hole for not wanting to take responsibility for his actions in the past.

Oh, speaking of MC, I love how you gave her such a relevant role in the story. You had her speak out for Salai against Leo, her comforting Salai through his emotional instability, her helping him with his financial problems. It's nice to have a MC who has an active role in the plot rather than a MC who can't-do-anything-by-herself-and-I-don't-have-a-decent-opinion. She knows what Salai needs, and she's here for it!!

This literally just turned into a review of Salai's route. I didn't mean it I'm sorry

Anyways, here's the long rant I've been allowed space for :DD Even with all the imperfections, I really did enjoy reading this.

And thank YOU for taking the time to write the story, a full 20+ chapters about your OC!! I feel like this is the least you deserve with all the time and hard work you put into this project.

Have an amazing rest of your day!!

Also is there a page where I can access images of Salai so I can make fanart??

Just finished binge-reading it after holding it off for months…

IT WAS SO GOOD :))

Probably my favorite quote from this series is “It’s not my fault my queen wants to have an affair with your queen” by Dazai. I don’t think anything could’ve prepared me for that one. And it’s such a Dazai thing to say too

I love all the hcs about the characters placed throughout the chapters. Like how Vincent has interest in Japanese food/culture, Arthur letting out his inner-Brit the more he drinks, Dazai just being his usual unhinged self, etc.

Overall, it was an amazing read! The only sad thing is that I’m a poor student who can’t afford the side stories :((

There are so many other things I want to say but I’m afraid they’re going to be spoilers so I’m just gonna stop here :))

GO READ IT IF YOU HAVEN’T ALREADY!!!!

Finally got around to watching the movie "Loving Vincent" and as a van Gogh fan even before playing ikevamp, that movie was amazing

and then I wanted to draw ikevamp Vincent so that's what i did

[lukkabloom]

based on @yanderepuck's hc that Arthur struggles translating his novels so he goes to good ol' Naps for French assistance

link to original post here

sorry for the bad handwriting

[lukkabloom]

:000 that’s so cute

i wanna draw this now

New Arthur headcanon dropped

It only takes him like a month or two to write to write a novel in English, but then it takes him about five to six months to translate it into French.

delivering cursed ikevamp images is my hobby
