couldnt get this idea out of my head until i drew it, so here's my friend @c0rpseductor 's ffxiv oc Pfeil with my dnd character Saendro because i think they would do nothing but argue (read: saendro would bug the shit out of pfeil till he got mad at him)

thanks for lettin me draw pfeil, lestat! it was very fun to do this!

thank you for your interest!! it’s on my redbubble now :) 

youre like a little victorian boy. please sir may i have a vibe please. 

How I feel about this character:

I adore this ridiculous disaster of a man with all my heart!

He is my favorite Bloodlines character. I just really enjoy his personality, and think his voice actor does an absolutely fantastic job bringing that patrician snootiness to the forefront, while also playing him as a reasonable, level headed leader, until he’s not anymore, and he’s a desperate, conniving man one step off the deep end. The fact that he’s just kind of universally scorned, even by his own people (his own bloodbonded ghoul hardly even gives a shit about him XD), and the incredible pressure that must put on him behind the scenes and how that might contribute to his motivations is also fascinating as hell. 

All the people I ship romantically with this character:

I will go down with the LaCroix/Nines ship like the Titanic. Its just got such fantastic ‘opposites attract’ energy, what with it representing Ventrue/Brujah, Camarilla/Anarch, Upperclass/Working Class, social-power/physical-power, etc. I’m, uh... writing a fic about it...

I have also been enlightened to the ways of LaCroix/Ming Xiao thanks primarily to @missn11 and her deep dive fanfic into the pairing. Two smooth-talking villainous backstabbing snakes, perfect for each other! 

Not to mention the triumvirate power throuple of LaCroix/Ming Xiao/Nines, also a brainchild of @missn11. I really enjoy that throuple either serious (the high stakes political intrigue!) or cute/cracky (Movie night! Texting each other distracting photos when the other is in an important meeting!) 

I have also been known to enjoy LaCroix/Sheriff and LaCroix/Fledgling when presented to me. 

And then, ya know, being here on vampblr, Nick/LaCroix is cute as frickin’ hell. Seeing @princelacroix and @normaltremere  ‘s RP shenanigans before and after their marriage (so cute) has been one of the highlights of my tumblr experience for the last however many months they’ve been at it. Everything from dorky couples’ bickering to genuine odes of affection that warm my undead heart. So yeah. Thanks guys! 

My non-romantic OTP for this character:

Well LaCroix’s getting busy with the plethora of people I pair him with, he’s really got no one else available for this spot! XD 

My unpopular opinion about this character:

I still don’t get what LaCroix’s rationale was behind his consecutive backstabbing towards the end of the game. Don’t get me wrong, it made for some of the best emotional video game role playing experiences in my life. I can get along with it with a base understanding of “he was going off the deep end by that point, he wasn’t being rational,” and just handwave my concerns with that, but if I actually try to logic it out, what he was trying to do makes absolutely no sense, and it does kind of bother me.  

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon:

On one had I wish that other VTM media remembered and embraced LaCroix (say, like Nines was) but then I remember the one time V5 remembered LaCroix existed, it decided to take a potshot at his masculinity, so maybe it is for the best he’s a character not often mentioned in other material...

My more measured response to LaCroix’s lack of inclusion in new material is, of course he’s not mentioned, since he’s dead after 2004 and most new material isn’t taking place during a time when he was alive. Still, should they release a new story or somesuch taking place before 2004 and they throw in a LaCroix cameo or actually feature him to some degree, I would absolutely squeal with delight and get my hands on that story as quick as I could.
