— how does your muse feel about vampires "coming out of the coffin" ? additionally how has it affected your muse ?

with utmost honesty and all due respect , bill hates this development. the push for public notoriety posed an insane risk for him and all other vampires. humans are some of the most unforgiving creatures to live and the fear they harbor makes his existence a struggle. of course he can defend himself , but he doesn't want to have to. he just wants a normal life , and that ideal was much easier to procure when his kind wasn't exposed for who they are.

— what was your muse up to prior to the news ?

trying to find home. which was initially why he came to mystic falls , his origins still remain in bon tempts which he tried to settle in his little home town but something was missing. a little too simple for his tastes. it lacked the feeling of home , with a handful of skeletons lingering in his closet it settled as more of a reminder of the pain he's suffered.

— what goals / aspirations does your muse currently hold ?

bill's goal with mainstreaming is just to live a simple life , a little while in the 1938 - when he left lorena - he'd visited mystic falls on business and something about the scenery and the people seemed to captivate him. this is where he plans to make his home and live a ( hopefully ) peaceful & comfortable life.

— what important canonic alterations have you made for your muse ?

the biggest change as of right now is that bill is a bit of a ripper. this makes him extremely cautious of his relations with humans and witches alike. dear lord , and we will see what happens with fae.

— what are some plotlines you would like to see for your muse ? what connections are on your wishlist for them ?

literally give this man all the drama and angst. thrust him into it. it's none of his business ? make it his business.

i really want him to have a connection with a witch that he is extremely gracious too and holds a good relationship with. perhaps they help him with a daylight ring so he can feel the sun on his skin after years of being ensnared by the darkness of night time. this relationship would be probably pretty wholesome.

vampires that knew bill when he was a reckless orgie having , human killing machine. holding his history over his head and sorta just coming around to annoy the hell out of bill.

someone to suck into the avl drama tbh. mayhaps he's tasked with keeping an eye over mystic falls.

— what is one of your favorite qualities of your muse ? on the other side of things , is there anything about your muse that irks you ?

bill seems simple but he's not. he struggles with his true nature and controlling his urges to the point where it hurts. he hates true blood , he hates animal blood , he wants his meals from the vein. but he forces himself take what he needs. he craves normalcy so much that he aches because of it. he's passionate and compassionate and cares so deeply. but he's not afraid to use force where needed. bill likes to think of himself as a pacifist. his overall good nature is admirable especially with his struggles - on the other hand that can be mind numbing.

— how does your muse feel about vampires "coming out of the coffin" ? additionally how has it affected your muse ?

katherine has mixed feelings about vampires revealing their existence. on one hand, she sees the potential for power and influence in a world where vampires no longer have to hide. it gives her new avenues to manipulate humans and other supernaturals alike. operating without secrecy allows her to play the political game with greater ease and establish herself as a key player in the vampire community, given her royal blood and her position as vampire queen of virginia. on the other hand, she views the entire concept with disdain. katherine doesn’t believe in the coexistence narrative the league preaches. in her mind, humans are always going to fear vampires, and vampires will always use humans as pawns. the idea of vampires asking for rights feels like weakness to her, but she plays along because the mainstreaming movement offers her a chance to rebuild her empire under a new guise. this change has forced her to adjust her strategies. no longer confined to the shadows, katherine is now navigating public perception and balancing her old methods of manipulation with a polished, diplomatic facade. aligning herself with the league ensures she stays relevant while giving her access to their resources and connections.

— muse what was your muse up to prior to the news ?

prior to the revelation, katherine was as elusive as ever, staying on the move to avoid old enemies and hunt for opportunities to regain the power she lost by running away from klaus. sadly, coming from a royal bloodline and being queen didn't do much in her war with the original. she spent much of her time tracking rumors of powerful witches and artifacts, always seeking a way to reclaim her throne at least secure an edge over her rivals. she was also quietly rebuilding a network of loyal followers, leveraging her knowledge of supernatural politics to create alliances and plant spies in key locations. every move was calculated, every interaction designed to bring her one step closer to being untouchable again. the revelation disrupted her plans, forcing her to pivot and embrace the new political climate.

— what goals / aspirations does your muse currently hold ?

katherine’s ultimate goal is always power. in this new world, she aspires to position herself as a royal leader within the vampire community, someone who can navigate both the supernatural and human worlds with ease. she dreams of establishing a new hierarchy where she reigns supreme, using the american vampire league and vampire authority as tools to solidify her royal rule. in the short term, she seeks to eliminate threats to her survival, particularly hunters emboldened by the mainstreaming movement. she also wants to monopolize access to daylight jewelry and other resources, ensuring her position remains unassailable. you might catch her even orchestrating selling vampire blood. at her core, katherine desires to feel invincible again, whether through gaining political power or securing alliances that make her indispensable.

— what important canonic alterations have you made for your muse ?

her alliance with the american vampire league and vampire authority adds a political dimension to her character, emphasizing her adaptability and strategic mind. katherine also embraces the opportunity to become a public figure within the vampire world, something she wouldn’t have risked in earlier eras, no matter her strong royal bloodline.

— what are some plotlines you would like to see for your muse ? what connections are on your wishlist for them ?

plotlines: - katherine navigating the balance between her public role with the league and her private schemes to undermine or control it. - a rivalry with another vampire or human politician, testing her ability to stay one step ahead. - being hunted by someone from her past who threatens to expose her secrets or derail her plans. - an alliance of convenience with a powerful witch or supernatural being to secure access to daylight jewelry or new forms of protection. connections: - a human politician or journalist who becomes either an asset or a threat, forcing her to play a careful game. - a young vampire looking for mentorship who reminds katherine of herself, sparking a mix of maternal instincts and calculated manipulation. - a rival within the league who questions her loyalty and threatens her position.

— what is one of your favorite qualities of your muse? on the other side of things, is there anything about your muse that irks you ?

my favorite quality is katherine’s survival instincts. no matter how many times she’s knocked down, she always finds a way to claw her way back to the top. her ability to adapt and thrive in any situation is endlessly fascinating. my least favorite quality is her inability to let go of her pride, even when it jeopardizes her survival. katherine’s insistence on maintaining control and never appearing weak often makes her own life more difficult.

— how does your muse feel about vampires "coming out of the coffin" ? additionally how has it affected your muse ?

sookie felt conflicted when vampires revealed their existence. on one hand, she admired the courage it took for them to step into the light, demanding equal rights in a world that wasn’t ready to accept them. as someone who had been judged and ostracized her entire life for being different, she empathized deeply with their struggle. however, their "coming out" also brought a wave of unease. while she appreciated that tru blood offered a safer alternative to humans becoming prey, the truth about vampires made her small-town life feel infinitely more dangerous. their presence wasn’t just theoretical—it was palpable, especially with their interest in her. vampires were drawn to her for reasons she couldn’t yet understand, and that attention turned her life upside down.

— what was your muse up to prior to the news ?

before the great revelation, sookie’s life was simple but far from easy. she worked as a waitress at merlotte’s, navigating the mental chaos of hearing everyone’s thoughts while trying to keep her head down. her days were spent balancing a demanding job with the emotional toll of her telepathy, and her nights were filled with quiet loneliness, yearning for a connection she could never seem to find. in her mind, she was destined for a quiet, unremarkable life in mystic falls, her dreams of something more slowly fading into the background of everyday survival.

— what goals/aspirations does your muse currently hold ?

sookie dreams of finding a place where she can belong—a sanctuary where she isn’t judged for her telepathy or treated as an oddity. her immediate goal is to understand the strange, magnetic pull vampires seem to have toward her, as she has noticed the way vampires look at her. she also craves independence and longs to prove, both to herself and others, that she doesn’t need saving. in the long term, sookie fantasizes about creating a haven for outcasts like herself, a space where people can feel safe and understood. a place between an orphanage and a safe house for people who feel like they don't belong. it’s a fragile dream, one she rarely speaks aloud, but it keeps her hopeful during the more difficult days.

— what important canonic alterations have you made for your muse ?

her unexplored ambition: beyond survival, sookie begins to crave more than the small-town life she’s always known. her experiences with the supernatural push her to dream of creating a sanctuary for others like her—supernatural beings who don’t fit neatly into their respective worlds. this aspiration becomes a driving force, shaping her choices and alliances as she seeks to carve out a space where she can finally belong. her connection to the founding families: while the stackhouses were not one of the main founding families, they played a significant role in mystic falls’ history. adele stackhouse, sookie’s grandmother, was a key figure in documenting the town’s supernatural occurrences, keeping journals that hold critical knowledge. these journals will become a cornerstone of sookie’s journey, guiding her through the dangers of mystic falls while revealing unsettling truths about her family’s legacy. sookie's powers: her light is verypotent, though still finite. it can manifest unpredictably in moments of extreme emotional distress, acting as both a shield and a weapon. her light has unique effects on vampires and magic—it can nullify enchantments, break blood bonds, and weaken older vampires, which makes her a target for those who fear or covet her abilities. sookie’s telepathy also includes a rare form of psychometry. through physical contact, she can access hidden memories, past emotions, and sometimes even fragments of future events. this ability is unreliable and taxing, but it becomes a pivotal tool in unraveling the mysteries of mystic falls.

— what are some plotlines you would like to see for your muse? what connections are on your wishlist for them ?

the discovery of her fae heritage: sookie slowly uncovers the truth about her abilities and bloodline, perhaps with help from a reluctant ally or through a dangerous encounter with faeries. a moral crossroads: sookie is forced to choose between helping vampires achieve sunlight immunity and keeping her abilities hidden to protect herself. tension: her connection to eric northman (i'm a sucker for eric OKEI?!!?) or another dark, mysterious vampire creates conflict, forcing her to reconcile her fascination with vampires and the danger they bring into her life. building a sanctuary: sookie begins laying the groundwork for a safe space for supernatural misfits, an idea born out of her desire to find a sense of belonging. alliances and rivalries: sookie navigates relationships with mystic falls’ key players, including the salvatore brothers, witches like bonnie bennett, and vampires like bill compton, each bringing their own complications. best friends: except for tara (who is obviously sookie's bestie), i'd like for sookie to find more friends and meet people who won't judge her or be scared of her abilities.

— what is one of your favorite qualities of your muse? on the other side of things, is there anything about your muse that irks you ?

my favorite quality of sookie is her resilience. despite the overwhelming challenges her telepathy brings and the constant judgment she faces, she remains kind and open to the possibility of connection. her loyalty and determination to do what’s right, even when it’s hard, make her deeply compelling. what irks me about sookie is her naivete. her trusting nature can put her and those she loves in unnecessary danger. while it stems from her sheltered upbringing and kind heart, it sometimes feels frustrating to see her walk headfirst into situations that others would approach with more caution. however, this flaw also makes her growth more satisfying when she learns from her mistakes.
