vampires apokuna is like peak tormented knightgirl to me if you plopped her in an anachronistic elden ring or hollowknight-like setting and gave her weaponry..well. she'd be out there. dodgerolling.

look at me. you need to give that fictional woman in the story you’re writing more complexes and emotional issues. for feminism.

apokuna could survive bloodborne but she'd fucking hate it the whole time

one thing about vsmp apokuna that i think is very fun is that she appears to not only be in love (with cherri) but also enjoys the idea of love. she values it in and of itself and she considers it to be a humanizing and redeeming motivation! she considers being in a romantic relationship with someone outside the town to be a justifiable motivation to murder all the humans inside it (granted apo is operating on a bit of a bias here) and she asks owen if he's ever loved someone before. do you think they would wander through the forest post-turning with a hand pressed to where cherri embroidered little apples on the inside of their dress?

interesting that (presumably dead) lords are responsible for naming children in Cyshane. it’s a fun little demonstration of the paternalism of the takeover + the idea that the dead are specifically superseding the living as authority over children.
