Consider for a moment if, due to the fact that they were both in Lord Stoker's household at some point, Kieran and Elissabat had a somewhat familial relationship. What if at some point they're reunited and they call each other Lissie and Ren-Ren because they're siblings who have to at least somewhat annoy each other. What if Elissabat is the older sister and Val is the younger brother. Just suspend your disbelief and consider it for a moment.
Of course!
I’m thinking about the stuff that cuts down the MH vampires’ ages to roughly 160 and not 1600, and in that version Valentine would’ve been born in Ireland during the Great Famine
I have a headcanon for Spelldon.
Don (I nicknamed him that) speaks Italian as well as Greek (he and Casta are half Italian)
That’s so cute! I love that. I think he’d be able to speak Ancient and modern Greek, too, but he uses Ancient Greek more because of his family.
He thinks in Ancient Greek because he grew up speaking it on Aeaea. He talks to himself in Ancient Greek, he counts in Ancient Greek, etc. Val learns it for him.
I never really thought about the Italian thing but it makes a bunch of sense (especially since people think Aeaea is in/near the Italian coastline). Maybe his father is an Italian sailor.
Seeing people struggle to spell and pronounce Valentine’s first name is the funniest thing to me because it’s the reality for literally every Irish name ever
My latest comic for The Nib was written by my friend Mike Thompson- it’s his first published comics work!
The Nib has been a steady source of income and a huge support to me and many other indie cartoonists for years. They publish amazing work, but will be cut loose by their financial backer in July. You can read the official post about it from editor Matt Bors here. They are still running their kickstarter-funded print magazine, but have to put digital publishing on hiatus until they figure out their next steps. If you’ve been thinking about supporting their membership program, now would be a good time. They have levels from $2 to $40 per month. I really don’t want this to be my last Nib piece!

okay let’s assume the hunter grimwalker theory is true, and they grow up like regular people and start as babies and all that
what if hunter grew up in like a sleeping beauty type situation? like belos just sends two scouts into the woods with a baby and is like “raise him for a couple years and train him and all that” and when he feels like hunter is old enough he sends in people to kill the scouts with wild magic and he makes it a whole act of “saving hunter” and how he’s his uncle and has “been looking for him for so long”
like emotional manipulation at it’s finest obviously, but it also provides that extra kick that makes hunter extra loyal to belos and fits with what he believes his family history to be
Torelai wasn’t attacked by the witches in France because she’s a monster it was because she’s British
ABSOLUTELY YES
It just hit me that Valentine’s (who canonically loves animals) love interest is the son of a witch notorious for turning people into animals
I don’t know what to do with that information just putting it out there
yeah you can have your MH opinions but was your top song this year coming out of the dark?? didn't think so

usually being referred to by their last names
Spelldon speaks Ancient Greek with his family and one day he’s on the speaker phone with his mother. She asks him about Kieran, and Spells goes “I’ll ask”
Before he can even open his mouth, Kieran answers the question in perfect Ancient Greek because he’s a NERD and either 1) secretly learned it for Spelldon, or 2) knew it all along
(Sigh-v)novelist and fanfic authorYes this is like entirely Kieran Valentine
