Whilst Vahid is known to use all kinds of mediums for his art, his most well known art piece is his performance art of him in a vulture mask whilst in his shadow form to create striking silhouettes and make his back pain more bearable whilst performing. Whilst in costume, he dances, sings, and recites bizarre poetry that mix both English and Persian words whilst smearing paint all over himself and… going feral as hell and scaring the shit out of his audience basically. 

Whilst he usually has a playful tone during these performances, he can suddenly take an erratic turn where he begins thrashing frantically and screaming his poetry that when properly listened to, reveal very depressing and personal themes. Sometimes in this franticness he may even give chase to audience members, though he would never hurt any onlooker, it still is pretty frightening to be chased by a shadowy vulture-headed man, and sometimes on all fours.

After the performance Vahid pretty much goes back to normal and is the same weird old dude as ever, but will take a long time resting afterwards so he doesn’t over exert his back.

The use of singing and performing with a animal mask is inspired by the old Persian play Shahre Ghesseh (City of Tales), and his dances are inspired by various traditional Persian dances, but Vahid’s are more erratic, rough, and wild.

DID Y’ALL WANT SOME DOCTOR AND SCIENTIST OCS? NO? WELL TOO BAD HERE THEY ARE!

So one of my favourite characters archetypes are ‘wacky mad scientists and doctors’ and as a result of that love I’ve ended up making quite a few scientist and doctor ocs! Some of these you may recognise whilst some you may not, but here’s some more info on them under the cut!

“It’s ok, Boris. It’s me, your Uncle Grigory.” “I… I know.” “You do?” “Bahd and Foresaw told me about it. We can turn too.” “You’re not scared?” “Mmm… Not anymore.”:- ) “…I’m glad, Boris” :- ]

HCs under the cut! :-] (Cw for mentions of abuse)

I had this all written out ready to post and tumblr deleted it.

(I see Trencil and Nat being able to go half bat almost like an anthro kinda I guess is what I'm getting at.)

___________________

🦇:Trencil wasn't too fond of Halloween. He had an unfortunate stalker come around this time of year in hopes he'd see Trencil's "true form". We all know who that is and he and a couple other kids would watch outside Trencil's house thinking he would turn into a bat off to his next victim.

Nat on the other hand loved it. She was finally able to be herself without any suspicion because I mean hey, everyone is dressed up. Why not take that chance to show off your vampire abilities? She'd scare bigger kids off if they started messing with her trying to take her candy. This might not be her dad's type of day but,it was her's.

🦇: After getting the last of the candy she needed Nat was walking back to her dad's house when she heard footsteps behind her. Turning she saw Trevor dressed as a werewolf. Ah yes, the boy that both feared and had a crush on her. What did he want? "Are you heading in for the night? I have a TON of candy from the other neighborhoods!" Trevor would try reeeaally hard to be able to visit her house and see what they were hiding. He never knew she could turn half bat or full. Really he did think her getup was a costume and wasn't scared in the slightest..yet. Maybe just maybe she'd catch on to what he was insinuating and let him over for a candy trade like other kids did after getting hauls on Halloween.

She rolled her eyes at him and got close tipping his pillow case some looking in it. To her surprise he did have some good stuff. She hesitated with her response thinking a bit and a "sweet" smile came across her face. "How about you come over and we can talk candy..just candy." Nat had some plans to get back at him for being weird about her dad. It was almost like a puppy bark came out his mouth when he got the response he wanted. "Really!?" Nat held up a finger for him to shut up and nodded leading the way.

🦇: Getting to her house she unlocked the door and let him go in. Everything seemed normal for them being vampires. Trencil had a thing for cinnamon scents. The only thing he did like durning this time of year. Candles everywhere lit up. Made the place smell like one of those stores in the mall where you get clothes from. "Geez dad did you have to light so many?" She coughed and stood in her living room with a rather aggravated looking father staring back at them both.

"I brought him over. He has candy and I want to trade with him. Besides it's Halloween. A good time to have fun right?" She cocked an eyebrow at Trencil and he caught on almost instantly. Smiling back he knew what was coming and happy to help. "Of course~you two can come sit on the couch and count candy or whatever it is you wish to do. I'll be in the laundry room for a bit." Trevor on the other hand was a bit surprised how nice they were. He was sure his neck would've got bitten by now. Perhaps he was wrong? No, there were too many facts he had for him to be wrong.

"Okay you can have these if I get these two here." Nat placed some gum in his bag while taking two chocolate bars from him. "That seems like a fair deal" He said back. An hour had passed and it was time. Time to scare him. Nat saw her father checking in on them both seeing how the candy trade was going and nodded. Trencil knew his cue and like that he made the lights flicker some. This made Trevor look up and around. Turning his head back fast to Nat she was gone. He felt a chill go up his spine. Maybe trying to messing with them wasnt the best idea he had planned.

🦇: Scary dad and daughter time!

All that was going on actually had Trevor at a frightened state. "Haha...funny. Jokes over now you can come out." Oh they came out. Both dressed in a more older vampire attire, teeth sharp and showing off. Trevor went absolutely white and got up so fast heading towards the front door. "Don't you wanna stay for a while? You can join us for dinner." Both Nat and Trencil came towards him. He was screaming and finally got out running down the road forgetting his candy.

________________________________

💭: Boris has been acting rather odd lately something Kamal wasn't new to seeing. This though was a bit different. Every time Kamal approached him trying to speak Boris would walk off going to the garden in their backyard tending to flowers instead. That wasn't like him at all. In fact Boris was mostly a chatter box every chance he got with either you or Kamal.

Kamal understood everyone had their downs. Even he had them. "You know brushin' me off isn't going to make your troubles go away. We live together why not just tell me what's going on?" Kamal said standing behind Boris as he plucked the dead leaves off his flowers. Saddened eyes glanced at him and back down to the tulips. Kamal sighed placing a hand on his shoulder. "If you need me you know where to find me." And with that he went back inside sitting at the kitchen table reading a newspaper.

💭: A hurting heart feeling came over on Boris. He still had issues from time to time after the Habitat. Most he /could/ talk about but, for some reason he just couldn't. Still thinking of all he had done took a toll on him. Even though he was forgiven it just got to him every so often. This day in particular and he couldn't quite understand why so badly.

A few hours passed and he was done with getting any leaves and weeds away from his precious flowers. Stepping up to the porch and inside the house he saw Kamal arms open,standing at the kitchen table. Now Kamal wasn't touchy feely at all. He did give out quick hugs from time to time but, nothing big. Living with Boris he had to get used to all types of affection and interaction like that. Though he himself still will never be that way. Kamal knew the man just needed some comfort. Even if he didn't fully know why or would end up fully knowing why, he just wanted his friend happy again.

A wave of upset came over Boris as he saw this. Wiping one small tear from his eye he gave in picking Kamal up hugging him tight. The water works came all out after. Kamal couldn't half breath but, wrapped his arms around Boris' neck shushing him. " It's okay big guy just let it out. I'm here for you. If you aren't ready to talk we can just hang out on the couch and relax." Boris gave an agreeing nod in Kamal's shoulder taking them both there where he still was holding on to him like a stuffed toy. "It is just one of those days y'know...." He muttered out.

They both sat there hugging for quite sometime. Kamal had felt as he lost all feeling in his body from being squeezed so hard. "Thank you." Boris sniffed and lifted his head up setting Kamal next to him. "I'm not ready just yet to talk. Is it okay if I can have some time?" Kamal placed a hand on his and nodded. "Take all the time needed. We can just stay here for a bit and let you wind down some. You're my friend I want you to be okay. It isn't like you to be this sad." He reassured him in a quick hug. "I'm off today from work so you can take all the time needed till you want to talk to me." Boris had a small smile come across his face and he dried the rest of the tears away. Kamal took the remote and turned on some T.V. for them both. "Just relax okay." They both sat back and enjoyed a good movie that was on. Eventually Boris did speak to him about what was going on and Kamal was listening attentively to it all.

Boris appreciated that even after all he had done in the past he still had you and Kamal there with him every step of the way with his recovery. It was gonna take a bit but, that's what friends are for right?
