I think a lot about how Hunter had their chance of living stripped away from them To me, they grieve this a lot.

I know it's not canon but I like headcanoning that Hunter passed through Gourmand's colony in the way to Pebbles/Moon - and they really wanted to be able to live with them, the others from their kind... but that was never a real option, not even after finishing their duty

orion whose favourite was always sirius, his oldest, his dog. and regulus was never in his thoughts, not being close to him at all. orion thought of regulus as not a backup heir like walburga did, but as an unnecessary nuisance- someone to keep out of public eye/to be hunted and defeated, only his image remaining but not his actual being.

sirius was meant to be orion's loyal hunter/dog. he was to look up to orion and take after him, staying close by his side and destroying anyone orion told him to. but sirius met a deer, and instead of hunting him like orion expected of him, sirius befriended him instead.

and regulus, the heart of the lion, the animal orion holds the skin of in his arms, became the only heir willing to listen to him.

I 100% believe that if The Owl House was not a children's show on Disney poor Hunter would have a worser life than the one he was given. Like.. Noble House of Black bad. (I love making things more sad than they first were) (also in the middle of rewatching TOH because I have absolutely nothing to do and things are beginning to spiral)

Vampires being Southern confederates in the American pop culture tradition makes so much sense to me logically. Not saying that I don't believe it's propaganda, because it absolutely is. But planter vampires and confederate vampires (Jasper, Damon, Lestat, Louis, Bill Compton) make a lot of sense in the American context, as much as aristocratic and “Old World” vampires make sense in the British context.

If vampires are inherently Gothic, then vampires must symbolize and personify the vestiges of a long-gone past – one which only simmers to life from far below the surface when it’s time to reveal the horrors, or the romance, of what is usually an oft-forgotten history. In 19th-century Britain, through vampire short stories and novellas, and later Dracula, vampires evoked the (misunderstood and misappropriated) time of the Goths. This, in turn, brought to readers’ minds images of towering castles, the superstition of Eastern Europe, and the so-called barbarism of the Old World, that which was made to appear antiquated in its monstrosity and secret imperialist desires. (*sarcastic voice*) The Old World was so at odds with enlightened, modern, industrializing Britain! It’s no wonder that vampires in British literature took the forms of counts, noblemen, and princes – they were the conspiring, powerful leaders of the Old World, or the medieval world, or some forgotten pre-Industrial feudal world.

And if we are to apply this concept of what vampires should represent for the United States, it only makes perfect sense that vampires would be planters and confederates. Slavers, planters, and confederate fighters also evoke the Old America, conjuring images of Southern chivalry, the great Antebellum, and the humble pioneers of this free nation of God and goodness and prosperity! And then the confederates got their ass beat really bad. And they could only hold on to these romantic images of that former “honour and glory” through propagation of the Lost Cause myth. What better vehicle to wield this romanticisation of, yunno, the defense of chattel slavery than through vampire softbois?! Immortal beings who symbolize the survival and resilience of the Antebellum South through time. Why don’t we make them hot guys who were just protecting the South in our pop culture? Sure. If the vestiges of America’s long-gone past are slavery and genocide and, uh, chivalric Southern honour, then vampires do a pretty effective job of reminding us of this horrifying/romantic (you choose here) history. Spoiler alert: it’s horrifying.

So my sister and I were talking about what Dragon Hunters might look like if it were modernized/updated to fit today’s animation standard before Christmas aaaand for fun, I did some rough sketches of the main four! Which kinda blossomed into me doing designs for *all* the recurring characters.

I don’t typically redesign things 😂 I just learn the style and mimick it the best I can so this was definitely outside my comfort zone AND super fun. I want to try some new things this year, I hope you all enjoy!

Current obsession of this symbolism in vampire hunter D and hopefully castlevania nocturne.

Full text under the cut if it's too small to read

[I fucking love the exaggeration of fashion in noble classes. I want to fucking see the symbolism of the ridiculousness of the rich through their fashion that doesn't make sense beyond their context just because it's an effective way to show off their ridiculous attachment to wealth.]

Why am I such a sucker for platonic soulmates where one is a masc and/or genderfluid ball of energy (usually some sort of nervous energy or Imma-fight-a-bitch energy) with a lot of issues and the other is a badass sass-queen who is the only one that can sass the shit out of their platonic soulmate without getting beat up by said badass sass-queen? Oh, right. Cause they're awesome and almost always queer as fuck.

Wait✋️ Hunter's mother is a duchess so... Hunter future duke/duchess? 👀

(This was mentioned in a patreon short story.)

Yes, it does mean that! But since they are the prince's Shield it's a bit complicated, and they don't really care about the land and stuff.

The Fragrance of Roses

What happens when the scent of roses is so intoxicating? What happens when blood turns to wine and hymns rise to heaven, seeking the mercy and tenderness of a blasphemous creature? What happens when love is nothing but poison? And so a Tarnished of no renown loses her wits for a White Face.

Words: 40,828 | Rating: Explicit | Status: Complete | Chapters: 13 | Charaters: Varré, tarnished, Eleonora Violet Bloody Finger, Mohg Lord of Blood, Sanguine Nobles, Bloody Finger Hunter Yura, Rennala Queen of the Full Moon, Miquella the Unalloyed | Pair: Varré x Tarnished

Excerpt:

I sighed as I approached the rocks, sitting on one of them, then turned around and my gaze moved to the half-destroyed church of Elleh surrounded by the ruins of the floating city of Farum Azula, then on the statue of Rosus pointing to the catacomb just ahead and, finally, the Stormveil Castle on the background, which rose above the headland with its tall towers and banners flapping in the wind, yet now bare of its lord: his blood still stained the blade of my axe, making patches of rust that glittered in the glare of the sun. What the heck am I doing here? the question echoed in my mind as I looked up at the sky, almost hoping to get another important tip from a man who was better to leave behind. What had really brought me there, to seek the White Face? Gideon Ofnir had enlightened me about the other owners of Great Runes, yet I had wanted to prolong my stay in Limgrave, deciding to join that creature with ragged clothes, stained with fresh blood. Was I there out of simple curiosity to understand that being? Or was I drawn to the very darkness that lived in him? I had to admit that the White Face knew how to be a magnet that, strangely, drew me to him.

Haikyuu!

“gay volleyball players, in denial”
