Ghoul boys are back in town!

[vampire-the-askerade]

Could you write some domestic fluff with the ghouls please? I love your page btw!!!

[Thanks :) I love writing for the ghouls too! There’s not enough stuff for them]

Heather- She is head over heels for you, so anything that you want to do she is happy with. The thing is though is that she’s quick to do things for you or help you with something that sometimes you have to actively make her sit down. When you do get her to finally rest, usually it’s when she’s tired out. She’s more than happy to sleep during the day just so she can spend as much time with you as possible. Happily snuggles up to you even though you’re not the warmest person.

Mercurio- Fun fact, when you talk to Rosa at the beach, she tells you that he’s one of the only people that you can fully trust in the area. So, his place is absolutely a safe space for you. You ever feel like everyone’s out of get you or things are overwhelming he’s telling you to come over. Totally the type to threaten to beat up anyone that’s bothering you. “Just point me in a direction and give me a bat.” Most of the time he’s just kidding. Other times the only thing that’s keeping him from making good on his threats is that he wants to spend time with you. Also the type to worry over you eating. Not in a fearful way more so like, “Have you eaten tonight? Did you eat enough? I’m gonna run out and get you somethin’.”

Knox- Info-dumps are a big thing here. If he’s not telling you everything that he can about his night then he wants you to tell him about yours. There’s hardly anything that he doesn’t get excited to hear about. If it was something that you did then its totally awesome. More importantly though, he doesn’t feel the need to be so high-ocatain around you. While the whole ditzy thing is part of his personality he does play it up a bit more than it really is as sort of a decoy. He likes that he can just take a breath and calm down with you.

Vandal- He crashes at your place a lot. Turns out that he’s just been sleeping in the break room at the hospital when he could. There was nothing to keep him away from you or the chance to sleep in an actual bed once you offered. Once he shuffles his way into the apartment after a long night of working he’ll just flop onto the bed…whether or not you’re on it. He’ll be right next to you or on top of you while you both just lie there and watch tv. It’s not in a lovely sweet way like Heather though. Rather, he doesn’t have the energy to move so however he lands is where he’s going to stay. He will deny it, but he’s more likely to end up close to you than giving some space; it’s almost like he’s going it on purpose. Smacks you in his sleep sometimes, but that’s on accident as he’s reaching over to feel if you’re still there.

Paul- There’s not much to say about this one because he’s super dead. Bad luck buddy.

Patty- If you want to be that close to Patty, then heaven help you. If she’s not straight out telling everyone that you’re a vampire, then she’s insulting you in one way or another. Very much suggested to leave this one be.

Romero- He’s going to be happy to have someone to spend his nights with him in the graveyard. Not only because he was getting lonely from being by himself all the time, but also he has an extra set of hands for if the zombies get too rowdy. That being said, he will get annoyed if you get in the way on purpose, so be sure not to do so. Other than that, if there’s not much going on, then he’ll be glad to just sit with you on the couch and try to get reception on the old tv in his shack. It’s nice for him to have some down time and indulge in his more romantic side; he is a ghoul of a Toreador after all.

Merry Christmas Squid/Cas!

@gaydragonwizards In keeping with your request to see the scene where Romero got a verbal slap upside the head from VV about how he's obviously in love with your OC Angeline from our VTMB RP/fanfics together...well, here's just that. XD Enjoy!

Mr. Oblivious

knock-knock – “Hey, Miss Velour?”

Romero leaned against the archway that lead into Velvet Velour’s inner sanctum in Vesuvius, watching as she straightened one of her posters. “Issac sent me over here,” he continued, allowing himself a nice long look at Velvet’s ass as he spoke. Fringe benefit of being Isaac Abram’s ghoul number one. . . “Said you needed something?”

Velvet turned slowly and sensually to face him, bright red lips curling in a smile that was – rather less friendly than he was used to. “Well well – if it isn’t Mr. Oblivious himself,” she said, sultry tone rather at odds with both her words and the sharp look she was giving him. “What I need, Romero, is for you to pull your head out of your rear.”

Romero blinked. Blinked again. “Uh – sorry, not following what you’re talking about here,” he said, rubbing the back of his head. “What the hell did I do?”

“It’s more what you haven’t done,” Velvet replied, folding her arms across her ample chest. “Really, Romero – this long, and you still haven’t said those three little words?”

“. . .still not getting it.”

Velvet sighed. “Oh dear – Isaac said you were ignoring your own feelings, but he didn’t warn me how much. I thought for sure you had an inkling.”

“Nope,” Romero said, shaking his head. “Whatever you’re mad at me for, you’re gonna have to spell it out.” He smiled sheepishly, hoping to hold off a potential vampiric temper tantrum – Velvet wasn’t really the type, but. . .better safe than sorry. “Use small words.”

“All right then.” She leaned forward in what would have been a really distracting way if she hadn’t been hitting him with such a firm, scolding gaze. “You’re in love with Angeline, you dope.”

For the second time in less than five minutes, Romero found himself blinking rapidly. “Uh. . .I – I think you’ve got the wrong idea about us,” he said slowly, knowing that Velvet usually didn’t like being contradicted but unable to help himself. “We’re friends. With benefits.” He grinned. “Some pretty awesome benefits.”

“No, you’re basically boyfriend and girlfriend, but neither of you seem to realize it,” Velvet retorted, rolling her eyes. “Isaac’s told me all about it – how much time you spend together, how you’re always talking about her, how you’ve been walking around with this extra little spring in your step. You’ve got it bad for the girl, and you won’t even acknowledge it!” She stepped forward and prodded him in the chest. “I know you’re not really one for romance, but surely even you can figure out when Cupid’s arrow has hit you?”

“I don’t – Angeline’s just – we’re friends!” Romero protested, glancing down at the finger and back. “Really!”

“Yes, and you ought to be something else too,” Velvet responded. “With roses and chocolates and fancy jewelry. And less gunplay.”

“Hey, Angeline likes the range.”

“All right, then at least give her flowers before you go!” Velvet shook her head. “You really think all you feel for her is friendship?”

“Yeah, I do!” Romero said, frowning. “Angeline’s awesome, I ain’t gonna say otherwise – she’s really smart, and super organized, and when you can get her to laugh she’s really fucking cute–”

“How do you not hear yourself right now?” Velvet cut in, expression both frustrated and deeply amused at the same time – Romero hadn’t been aware you could fit both emotions on the same face. “Really – how many of your other conquests have you said looked cute when they laugh?”

“Normally I’m hoping they don’t start cracking up when they see what’s downstairs,” Romero shot back. “But Angeline. . .okay, so we spend a lot of time together! She could use the company! And sure, I think she’s a hell of a looker, because she is! And I like talking to her, because she’s pretty interesting once you get get her to speak up, and I like making her smile because her whole face gets really glowy, and I like having her around because otherwise it’s just me and the TV and I end up really missing her when she’s not there, and – and. . .”

He paused. Thought for a second about what he’d just said. Then his face met his hand as he groaned. “Oh. Uh. Shit.”

Velvet laughed. “There we go,” she said, a teasing lilt to her voice as she slung an arm around his shoulders. “Now can we talk about how you should be getting her flowers?”

“. . .yeah, maybe.”

Playing vtmb again for no good reason. And still after all these times, I cannot for the life of me successfully complete the graveyard quest without celerity. So for like the 8th time (minus the one time I played toreador), I’m here crouched at the corner of the map so that none of the enemies spawn ‼️

[clubconfession]

[Spank my vamp booty ass, Romero.]

[vaas]

i hate the fc4 companion romance system its so dumb. like firstable the companion like/dislike mechanic is dumb but specifically being idolised as a requirement for being able to smash is like a bad call like what was WRONG with the companion system in new vegas TODD. IT WORKED. anyway on the fuck stuff it should be INDIVIDUALISED like hancock you can fuck right off the bat if you want. hes horny. but likr cait yeah you have to do her personal quest (WHICHIS ALSO DIFFERENT IN THIS VERSION I AM BUILDING IN MY HEAD) or better yet just cut the romance system entirely it has like no bearing on gameplay its just well rested bonus again. get a different thinf.

[oldandcrusty]

As requested by dozens upon dozens of people, I have made a part 2 to the VTMB romance poll with your suggestions. It includes the winner from part 1, Nines.

Not adding Heather though. She's been through enough.

Before y'all come for me screaming for Beckett or whomstever, check the original poll.

[kadkadduwa]

im so scared of the vtmb taag this is why i never tag any of my art as vtmb related what if someone doesn't like my ethnification of knox and heather and vandal and romero

[blood-breath]

what kind of havoc have i wrought that caused me to be blocked by randos in the vtmb fandom. was it the because i posted about romeros boobs

[oso-nan]

Need someone to mod vtmb where everythning is the same except u can touch tips with romero as a male fledgling

[paarthursass]

on the one hand: make seduction a basically useless skill on male characters in vtmb was a cowardly move

on the other: aurel's definitely having a much healthier experience in-game since it's mechanically impossible for him to make certain questionable choices in a graveyard

[jcqlnsart]

Hehe more vtmb sketches

Also, does anyone want to see vtm night road stuff? I drew a few Lettows

[victorluvsalice]

Happy Birthday Squid!

@gaydragonwizards -- as per your previous request, here is a story about Romero teaching Melody how to shoot, back before some of the major nonsense in our RP stuff! I hope you enjoy!

---

“Okay, so – for our first lesson in shooting, I figured we’d start off with handguns.”

Romero snapped open the case in front of him, gesturing for Melody to take a look. “Got us a pair of basic Brokk 17cs here – they’re some of the easiest guns to get and carry around Los Angeles. I mean, pretty much every gang-banger and wanna-be crime lord on the street has got one of these in their back pocket or shoulder holster. Small, light, pretty easy to handle – downside is that they don’t have the greatest stopping power, but – well. You’re a Kindred – you’ve got other ways to stop people. And trust me, anything is better than that .38 your mother was using for fucking ages.” He rolled his eyes at the memory. “Seriously, I have no idea how she lasted until Hollywood with that damn thing. Like, she went down into the fucking Nosferatu sewers when that lizard asshole was filling them with shit with that and somehow managed to come out the other side.” He paused and considered this. “Then again, I guess she had Alice backing her up there. . .and let me tell you, that woman is terrifying with a knife.”

Melody made a grunt of agreement, then started reaching for one of the guns, clearly eager to begin. “Whoa – slow down there,” Romero said, putting his hand in front of theirs and earning himself a look. “Let’s get one thing straight right here, right now, okay? You don’t do anything until I tell you to. I’m the teacher here, and you’re gonna respect that.”

Melody’s eyes narrowed challengingly. “Don’t start – your mom’s asked me to teach you how to shoot a gun, and I’m happy to give you a few lessons,” Romero told them, frowning right back. “Knowing how to shoot, and shoot well, is a fucking lost art these days, and I wanna keep it around. But I know what you’re like, kid – that you’re into screwing around whenever you think you can get away with it. And normally I wouldn’t give a shit – but you cannot pull that while we’re having shooting lessons.” He wagged a finger at them. “I mean that – guns are dangerous. I mean, yeah, fine, not as dangerous to you guys as they are to humans and ghouls, but getting shot, especially in the right spot, still ain’t fun. You gotta respect your weapon – and more importantly, you gotta know how to handle it before you even think of pulling that trigger. I know you’re a smart kid, and you’ll pick up this shit fast, but you gotta listen to me. You start fuckin’ around, and I’ll end the lesson right here.” He leaned in for emphasis, meeting Melody’s gaze head-on. “And I’ll tell your mother exactly why.”

Melody’s expression went from “resting sullen” to “oh shit.” “Yeah, I figured that’d get your attention,” Romero said, allowing himself a tiny smirk. “I’m gonna try and keep it fun for you, I promise – we got loads of cans and bottles to shoot off the fence, for starters. But like I said, guns are dangerous, and I don’t want to be the one to explain to Ari why you’ve got a bullet wound or two in you – or in me. We do this, we’re doing it right. Good?”

Melody nodded, setting their face in “I’m ready and willing to learn” mode. “Great. So, before you even pick that thing up, a couple of safety tips to remember – always treat any gun as if it’s loaded. Even if you unloaded it yourself. Shit can happen, bullets can get chambered without you knowing, and it’s just not worth the risk. Second, always keep your finger off the trigger unless you intend to shoot. It’s too fucking easy to pull it without meaning to. And third, always be aware of not only your target, but what’s beyond it. Bullets go fast, and – depending on the caliber of the bullet and the gun – can punch through more stuff than you think. You don’t want to shoot a guy, only for the bullet to go right through him and hit your buddy on the other side.” He wagged his finger again. “What it comes down to is, well, don’t be an idiot. Think you can pull that off?”

Melody leveled another look at him. “Yeah, yeah, I know, lived under all our noses in that junkyard for who knows how long, you got brains and can take care of yourself. Just humor me and nod.”

That got a small smile, and the requested nod. “Fantastic. Okay – now you can pick up the gun, and I’ll show you how to check it and how to load it up. . .”

The ghouls reacting to the fledgling giving them flowers

[Ooooo!! I don't get many ghoul requests!! This is awesome!!!]

Mercurio- Listen here, he's a man's man and flowers are for the dames! Gets really flustered if you give them in public(also if in private.) Don't worry though. Even with his tough guy act, he loves them and has them on display in his apartment.

Heather- She is over the moon! Are those really for her? You're too sweet to her. Keeps them alive for as long as she can(which isn't that long, sadly.)

Knox- Whoa! You're giving those to him? Like, he wasn't really wanting flowers or anything, but like, yeah! What is he supposed to do with these? But, like, dude!! It's still awesome!!!

Vandal- He's not really supposed to have these at work, ya know? Pollen can be considered a contaminant. He's going to put them right where everyone can see them. What are they gonna do? Fire him? Hah, good luck finding someone else that will do his job! Probably waxes poetic about how he could stab someone with the stems if he cut them the right way.

Romero- Why thank you, darlin'! But, he's supposed to be the suave gentleman here, so he's supposed to give flowers to you! Not the other way around! He just so happens to have some right here. No, they aren't the ones you just handed to him! They just look identical similar is all.

Paul- Sadly, the only way you're giving this guy flowers is on his grave. Maybe you felt bad that he got caught up in all this vampire disease thing. Either way, somebody needs to keep up with his headstone.

Patty- Oh, wooaow, are those for heeeerrrr?? They're really ugly! Not her type of thing at aaahhhaaalll! Waaaaait, where are you going?! She still wants them!! Give her attention, please!! WhY dOeS tHiS aLwAyS hApPeN tO HeR?!?!
