(a/n these are all based on my own struggles and things I would find helpful, this isn't a comprehensive list!)

Vampire Partner who fully understands your chronic pain days where you just need to bitch and complain. They're always ready at a moment's notice to try and alleviate whatever suffering you experience, but sometimes you just have to vent about how much life sucks! And they'll listen to you with starry eyes and agree and condemn the world with you, no matter how small your grievances.

Vampire Partner who holds your hand every time you get shaky looking at yourself in the mirror. Gently reminding you that you're more than what you look like, and a mirror doesn't convey the truth. After all, they're right beside you, but the mirror would say you are alone. Offering to do your hair or makeup or whatever other mirror related task they could help you with.

Vampire Partner who is more than understanding about sensory issues, especially ones that affect your personal hygiene. They've lived in the woods for decades before, so they're not at all bothered that you've been struggling to brush your teeth or shower. They've gone through intense clean up periods before too. They're here to help you out. Holding your free hand while you brush your teeth, hyping you up with compliments and affirmations. Offering to help clean you, however you're comfortable. If all you need is a hand to hold in the shower too, they're more than willing.

And if it's something truly too much for you to do even with their support, they can enthrall you, taking over your body briefly to help you get through a rough day. Always making sure after to praise you to high heaven, letting you know you're not a burden, and that you're gorgeous to them no matter what.

Well, here she is! Graunka, my Orc from WoW, adapted into a Half-Orc Barbarian for DnD. She went from axes to blunt weapons, because I love maces and Kanabo like weapons. Also featuring a Tiefling Warlock I made based on Draenei. Sadly, I have no Draenei female (yet), so she’s not based on one of my Warcraft kids, but Graunka sure is! 

This is also what I consider WoW Graunka to wear outside of Horde business. Sort of a casual/travel clothes. (many of my minis are also posted on my Instagram, though you’d need to sift through a million posts about my dog, the Fate series, and random nonsense to find them)

EDIT: Also wanted to note that Graunka’s skin is a blend of a base green and white to achieve a sort of “minty” green color. There’s a distinct texture and blend that’s mostly lost in the photos, though you can see the darker greens I left in the folds of her skin, musculature, cleavage, etc... (that lighter minty green is what I consider canon skin tone for WoW Graunka, too!)

It’s going slowly but surely.

Happy Holidays one and all!

The first time Zahndrekh casually pats Djoseras on the shoulder, he flinches. Very noticeably. And alright, that's fair, they've been through a lot, he gives him time. But as things settle, and Djoseras starts to come around to him, it happens again, albeit less noticeably, but it does make Zahndrekh wonder...

Oltyx has no such issue, and once he’s fully recovered even seems quite fond of the casual contact. But that's when it clicks, ah, Djoseras doesn't even like it when Oltyx touches him, which Oltyx seems to pick up on almost as fast as Zahndrekh. He pays more attention and notices how fastidious he is, how particular he gets about his appearance, about his belongings, about his schedule.

Zahndrekh never asks or mentions it, but he takes care not to touch, and tries his best to be consistent with assignments. He’s not too accommodating, he wants to challenge the boy, make sure he doesn't become overtaken by his own neuroses.

I feel like I would for SURE have Julieta's gift. I love cooking and am absolutely the "mom friend" of the group
