Doomed Love.
CW: Minor blood and eye injury.
The faerie monarch sobbed softly, holding his lover close as he was tethering between life and death, as the corruption slowly overtook his cooling person once more.
"I'm sorry... I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm so sorry...! I'll- I'll fix this somehow! I'll save you! I'll save your friends I-"
He was cut off by a pained chuckle from the jester.
"Silly.. Monarch... You... You know...this would happen..."
Ahahahahah yes that's right The Beasts are a thing in this AU too. (Just in case yall missed out those crumbs of details in my refs post of DE and Matcha)
Keep in mind that there will be NOTHING like canon. But rest assured, I won't remove the fun stuff. Like Shadow Milk's theater show that looked like a divorce between him and Faerie, and Mystic Flour psychologically torturing Cacao.
Trust me :}
Also this drawing is like,,, months old
only thing that comes to mind today.
for the 3 lacroix fuckers in the world
sorry pal but no teenagers are clammering to play this dinosaur-age obscure game. the people posting about lacroix being a studmuffin have careers and are 40
No tbh I understand that everyone was crying and upset when Elder Faerie died, but now I'm kinda convinced that he deliberately decided to perish because he knew that Shadow Milk likes to torture his targets with his quizzes and only died to avoid the insane bitter-ex-lore leak
No shade to daddy Stoker but I find it sad that now every story about vampires set in Slavoland is doomed be a Dracula rip-off regardless of whether you actually are from the region or not and because of what? Because of some dudes from Hollywood across the ocean who probably think ussr is still a thing god forbid and that Romanians and Polish are the same
This scene is literally
An observation
You can't tell me they aren't the same people
It's always "World of darkness isn't supposed to be happy" this and "vampires are monsters" that. Wrong. Why be vampire if not to find eternal love??? Hmm??? HMMMM??! Check mate WOD.
In a lot of vampire lore, being bitten by a vampire just once doesn't turn a human into a vampire, but some sort of a thrall, enchanted and seduced by the vampire's alluring ways, to make the victim more pliable and easy to feed from, and only a sufficiently prolonged and deliberate series of bites will turn the human victim into a vampire.
Which is compatible with the theory that italians are the opposite of vampires. While vampires cannot stand the sight of crosses, stepping into a church, or being exposed to garlic or sunlight, and cannot see themselves in a mirror, italians become miserable if they cannot have access to a church, crosses, direct sunlight, garlic, and getting to see themselves in a mirror.
Consequently, sensually biting the neck of an italian may enthrall one, but will not immediately turn you into an italian. But a sufficiently prolonged and deliberate series of bites may get one to marry you, therefore giving you an italian citizenship.
Ngl that's how I always imagined him in my head and I always get surprised whenever I see his canon design
This took a while but
I made sprite edits on how I draw Elder Faerie, yes I moved his eyes and eyebrows a bit BC they looked off. And yes I gave him slutty gloves. Also those black dots at the left one is supposed to be his hands, I like to think he has long ass sleeves. I also gave him boots BC ain't no way am I letting him run around without shoes 💀 I changed some minor stuff and didn't make him unrecognizable I just gave him some elf ears and a more prominent hairline. Also I changed how his front hair swoops BC I tend to draw the hair more luxurious :3
