*taps mic* is this thing on? Yeah okay so every vampire in the vampire chronicles is turned at critical a moment in their lives and beyond just the body they are in when they are turned, their mentality stays at that standstill for their entire immortality, Lestat was turned against his will, he was clinging onto Magnus begging him to be freed, so he’s constantly seeking freedom and only finding loneliness and thus turning back to people again and again, however he can’t STAND being told what to do, since he desires agency in his life so desperately, Armand was turned after years and years of abuse and lack of control but such a desire for genuine love, by a man he ‘loved’ so wholly who he felt was barring his love from him, he needs control in his life, he needs a ‘master’ but he does not desire it, it does not fulfill him, he is trapped in a room but the door is unlocked! Louis was mourning his brother, he felt like an utter failure and so he’s always seeking family, seeking people he can care for, he can coddle, he can prove he is good too, but he loves people who either cannot stand coddeling and need a sense of looseness to live (Lestat) or people who grow out of coddling who prove to Louis he will always fail the people he loves (Claudia), Claudias turning, in many MANY ways mirrors lestats in that it was against her will, she was stolen from her home, and in her immortality she desires freedom but unlike Lestat does not have the agency/ form to get it, she will always be small, she will always be looked down on, even by Lestat who cannot deny how much she is just like him *taps mic* ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME!! NONE OF THEM CAN BREAK THE CYCLE!!! TO BREAK IT WOULD BE TO UNDO THE VERY FIBER OF THEIR IMMORTAL SELVES!! THE CYCLE IS THE BLOOD THEY DRINK IT IS THE HEART IN THEIR CHEST AND IT ROLLS AND ROLLS DOWN THE MOUNTAINS AND VALLEYS OF THEIR LOVE FOR EACH OTHER AND IT CAN NEVER BE STOPPED BECAUSE THEY WILL NEVER STOP LOVING EACH OTHER!!!!!!!!!!!!

I genuinely dislike study sketching so I had to give myself a good reason to train with drawing bodies, couldn't help but scribble a lil chibi anyway

I want to draw better bodies to perfect the Vamp/Hunter AU honestly 😔

So here you go, mish mash of other things I like, I wish I could call this the 'phantom troupe' but that's already taken by a far more lethal group of individuals, love (most of) 'em though

It's very interesting to me that they seemingly purposefully juxtapose Spike with other vampires several times in season 2 in ways that not only make him more human but also less evil. I don't just mean the Judge saying that he has humanity or his team-up with Buffy in "Becoming" (though those also contribute). He came to the hellmouth to help nurse his sick partner back to health. He allows several potential victims to be freed in order to save Drusilla from Buffy in "Lie to Me". He actively discourages it when Dru wants to torture one of their minions in "Surprise". He gifts Dru a necklace in "Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered", juxtaposed to Angel's gift of a human heart. He pets the dog that Dru gives him as a snack instead of eating it in "Passion". He repeatedly tells Angel to stop toying with Buffy and seemingly thinks that psychologically torturing someone (rather than fighting them outright) is lame.

Some of this is obviously to show just how unbelievably evil soulless Angel is, but it also implicitly tells the audience that Spike is capable of acting selflessly for the people he cares about (Dru), he doesn't care much for torture, and can even do something that is ostensibly good (helping save the world) if he is given a reason to, which directly contradicts what we are told vampires are capable of. It fits very well with where they take him in future seasons but it is kind of crazy that they were doing this with a character that was initially only meant to appear in 5 episodes.

so my thing about vampire media that goes for the addiction metaphor is that the most notable examples (the addiction, being human, midnight mass, etc) are some of the most sympathetic-to-addicts pieces of media I've ever seen. which you might think would be a paradox because, yknow, vampires are bloodsucking monsters, and it's not like that isn't the case in any of those examples, but apparently that isn't really a roadblock. these narratives have basically no problem humanizing their addict-vampire characters even as they lean into monstrosity and kill and eat some guys. it's the kind of thing where on paper it's a Problematic angle for representation but in practice it really works.
