I Love Ships That Are Like. I'm Broken. I'm A Broken Person. I'm Flawed, And Damaged. You're Broken Too.

Maybe this is crazy and unhinged thing to do but I sometimes assign people I know to the vampire clans (of course without telling them) and explain some of their actions to myself based on it, like "oh this guy is so pretentious and always mentions how his family was Polish nobility before the soviets, typical Ventrue behaviour" or "I know what you are, an art student with penchant for weird sculpture and anatomical oddities", or our local gothic witch bars, book stores and cafés in the city center which I presume is Tremere chantry undercover, is there any hope for me.

Imagine this whole post in the TikTok text to speech voice.

I don't know if somebody already talked about it, but I also don't remember finding this type of theory surrounding the inspiration origins of Crème Republic (because ofc the wiki had to make everything about the States again-)

We more or less know the inspiration for all the Ancient's kingdoms – some with distinctive cultures, some (like Faerie Kingdom) are mostly folklore. But the consensus of Crème Republic is that it's mostly something Greek or Roman that's being occupied by French for some reason.

Well, I think there is a reason for them being specifically French in a Greek-based place, because that's exactly what it is. Let me introduce you to the Latin Empire.

So, long story short: that'd explain their mostly French names and the understandable dissatisfaction of the native Cookies' of the Sea of them taking up the majority of the Council seats. Their cartoonish goodness and glory doesn't exactly match with the history (especially with the fact that in crk Vanillians are war refugees instead of, y'know, crusaders. and thank god) – but eh well, Constantinople (now Istanbul) was an ancient city with a rich history and culture even back then, and even more so now. Devsis kinda had to get rid of the monarchy in favour of more Roman-style government, but that's for the better ig?

It's still my favourite Kingdom in crk because I just love the whole warm vibes of it and it has all my favourite cookies in there, but it's interesting how people may have overlooked this obvious reference to the concept of Francocracy lol

Yeah and

Tumblr is beautiful because

I had no clue so many people wanted to fuck Sebastian Lacroix's 5'2 ass

Sometimes I'm very glad that I deleted Twitter, because TO THIS DAY I've seen people from there hating on Dark Cacao or/and his ships with whomever except PV, branding him as toxic and 😩problematic😩 father.

Now I understand what people mean by saying that media literacy is dead, because they'll be crying to have morally gray characters in CRK but then couldn't handle even obviously good ones like Dark Cacao, who actually IS A GOOD GUY, and his relationships with Choco don't negate this.

And GOD FORBID you show even a mild interest in pairing him with one of the Ancients (except PV) or, gasp, 😱Affogato😱, even though I can bet it was everyone's first thought when he got released and we didn't know anything about the character yet. People be crying for "toxic doomed old man yaoi", but only when it has the room to make it actually not toxic and doomed, because GOD FORBID a problematic scheming bastard does something problematic and betrays everyone's trust, color me shocked. And when they actually have an opportunity to look into one-sided exploitative end-justifying-means relationship they'll eat you alive. I'm not even the biggest fan of this ship, but I had interest in it in 2022 and witnessing the amount of hate on it, I abandoned it on the spot, even though I love character analysis and royal plotting genre (and let's be real, it got so bad not even so much because of the couple of weirdos drawing disturbing stuff about them on Twitter, but because it interfered with fandoms PureCacao fanon. No hate to this ship though, but it is what it is).

the only way id accept jazz frequently going undercover as a decepticon in fanon is if how he does it is just by being nice and funny. like i bet any decepticon would spill massive intel if they met this guy who made funny jokes and offered to clean their guns sometimes. sure they'd like to punch the rookie around but they mellow out pretty quickly and soon enough they're telling the new guy every detail they know about high command over a few drinks and letting him through restricted areas

I'm about to say something that got me roasted in the Cyrillic part of the transformers fandom but idc anymore I still stand by it, some of you guys are not ready for the conversation that you greatly overestimate the greatness of Tf Prime show because of your childhood memories and the majority of the fandom is absolutely shitty to RiD 2015 for no other reasons than "ew the picture is no longer turned up to contrast/saturation -210, how can I now pretend that I’m watching a serious show in transformers 😔⛓️🥀" and overall look like this:

I am devastated by myself and I am devastated by the world and I want to sink back into my comfortable depression. I’m going to stop taking my mood stabilizers and my antipsychotics to numb myself to the pain of experiencing life

"Engulf oneself in silence"

When I was 12 I wrote and almost finished in one of my notebooks a vampire comedy novel about this girl I projected onto, who was a poor peasant from a village at the foot of the Carpathians, and she got so tired of her life that she decided to take advantage of the local legend about a vampire sleeping hundreds of years in the castle somewhere in the mountains (meaning, to rob it and become rich), but then she accidentally woke him up, and, in order to not be eaten, she somehow became his servant. The vampire was at first very confused why he was put asleep for so long in the first place, but then quickly remembered than he was pursuing his goal – to become a daylight vampire and that he almost succeeded, but was betrayed by his previous servant-lover, who put him into tomb, thinking he was dead. Now this girl had to figure out how to escape from the castle (while taking with her as much money and goods as she could), and the vampire had to continue his ambition, planning to use her in some kind of ritual, I don't remember. At the end I wanted them to kiss and decide that «fuck it, it's not that complicated» and start travelling the world – or, alternatively, they would all die in a horrific soul-wrenching tragedy, because 12 year old fanfic writers are dramatic.

That notebook I wrote this into was left at my mother's house and likely was completely destroyed or thrown away, but I still remember the plot... I think. I don't know if I should write and publish it online though.
