#karma ask

Karma has technically done this! If you check the Mother’s Day fic, he states the truth. But he tells it in riddles that you wouldn’t understand.

Everyone mentioned in this story was indeed involved. T’Abuelo, Karmella, Emiliano and Khazamina. But the gas explosion, the CEO, and the resignation are metaphors that you wouldn’t catch at first glance. Because who the hell would lie about what happened to their parents, right?

Other than that, Karma has no intention to tell you anything about his past identity - because he wants to shield you from who he was; a bastard who has assassinated people by his words alone, that has caused innocent blood to shed to maintain the economy, and an enabler of corruption through secrets and conspiracies. You would be disgusted with the shit he knows. But he’d rather make you live the happiest dream of your life, rather than make you wake up and realise the truth.

That’s why Kallisto hates you lol! Kallisto and his brothers know that there’s no happy endings in their lives. So why bother living a lie? Why bother, when fate decided for you? But no, Karma just had to be “stubborn”, “selfish” . Yet, not one of his brothers fully confronted Karma when he was miserable, exhausted and suffering. While Karma was carrying a global organisation, they got to experience life on their own terms, while he never had a chance to take a break. To live life. To be free.

SORRY FOR ANOTHER LONG ASK 🏃‍♀️or rev wha or however the French people say goodbye

YEEEOOOWWWW ! !! ! !! And no problem, pookie <3

And real, Karma is a huge favorite both on the blog and in my life...we're such freaks, aren't we?

Also not going to lie, Karma doesn't shame AO3 fanfics. He doesn't mind you talking about your favourite characters because they don't exist. Not in this world, at least. Whether it is an actor or actress playing the role, he knows that the role doesn't exist. He's not that erratic.

Oh, Anon. Know that you can send me questions. I love them. A lot TEEHEE

ALSO I LOVE LONG ASKS DON'T WORRY SKSKSKSKSKSKSK

Ok so, Karma has never been to college, because he got a one-on-one top-notch homeschool education. Professionals from various walks of life taught him various subjects, which is why he's able to pick up or speak languages fluently. He also had to learnt finance, accounting, literature, history, law, physical combat, psychology and many more as he was next in line. And to be a leader of such a clandestine organisation, Karma had to be both mentally and physically strong.

But it was a lot of pressure, and took most of his childhood away, especially in his upper teenage years. Very rarely was he able to communicate with his brothers, so he'd often sneak out or stay up late at nights to make sure they were okay, and to see how they were doing. As he became more confident, he kept doing it until he was caught. Which, expectedly, angered T'Abuelo and got him severely punished.

So in the case of nutrition and computer programming, it is actually more of a hobby that blossomed in his years when he was the leader of the Sangres before escaping it entirely. He considers these hobbies therapeutical, and also challenging - as those were the subjects that had the least pressure.

In terms of the rest of their brothers:

Kallisto started with top-notch education but due to his tumor his lessons significantly dwindled. As a way to "ease his mind", he was sent to private school to continue his studies. However he skipped a lot of classes lol

Karma's 3rd brother was in the exact same program, but had to stop due to finances.

Karma's 4th brother didn't have the chance to get into the program due to finances, so they went to public schools. Same for the 5th.

If he was able to choose a major I'd think he would go for Nutritional Sciences, Woodworking and Leatherworking and Upholstery. He'd say it's "nothing too big" or "it's pretty chill" .

1. in the Mother’s Day post it had karma saying he monitors everything we do/everything pertaining to us, how far does he go to keep that from us?

2. He is said to be monitoring our parents, does he reach out to them at all or interact with them in any way without us there?

3. And if we were to find out how much he’s watching us and we are not into (not saying I’m not 😛), how far would he be willing to go to try and diffuse the situation?

First of all Anon - no! No one has asked these questions!!!!! SO NO, you will NOT GET BLOWN UP BUT YOU HAVE MY TOKEN OF APPRECIATION BC HEBFWNFNERNRFE YOU'VE TAKEN YOUR TIME TO TYPE THIS ASK I AM SO SOS SO SOS OS SOKSOS GRATEFUL HUZZAH ! ! ! ! ! ! !

(1) To an extreme degree. Karma has always played the fool, and ensures that your relationship stays that way. He doesn't disclose information that you haven't revealed throughout your relationship, and I'd even say he has a record to review such information. He rehearses it in his head before you wake up, when you're completely out of earshot and have a line of sight. This also includes when you both have your silent moments. But if there's one thing he will never do - or prays that he doesn't do - is fuck up. Because he knows that once a line is crossed, there is no way of going back, especially if your response to his infatuation is rejection (understandably so).

(2) In truth, him observing your parents is not as meticulous nor as active as you think. This is also dependent on the state of the parent.

Say, if one of your parents were incapacitated - Karma would actually be a lot more riskier in his observation. He'd actively go to the location while you're fast asleep and knocked out. He's not a fan of sleeping pills, so Karma would do everything in his power to either (a) fuck you silly or (b) make you do strenuous tasks that tire you out or (c) make excuses such as: "Sorry Xax, can't make breakfast today" or "I overslept. I'm so sorry!" and such. He'd try not to do it as often, but I don't think he'd be able to stop himself - as his empathy would get the best of him (which would make him slip up).

If your parents were fine - Karma would do a simple run-over of your (group)chats and phone calls. He'd also keep an eye on your parents' employers every now and then. But his main priority would be you.

(3) It depends on how confident you are.

If you're timid or unsure - He'll ease in to that uncertainty and explain himself with more lies. His gaslighting would be smooth, silent, and deadly.

If you're confident and won't gaslight yourself - THEN Karma would freak out. If there's one thing he cannot beat, is intuition, especially if it's backed up by evidence. He knows that lying would make things worse, and silence would do the same. So he only knows what he can.

Knock you out, and keep you locked.

And once he finishes those tasks, then he'll physically freak out. Nails biting, yanking his hair, screaming, crying. To know that he can no longer be your ideal boyfriend, a lover that you would want to marry and hold to for life, would absolutely crush him. He has to throw away a love that no longer exists.

But once he accepts it, he'll go cold. He'll be strict and ruthless on you. He'll use your parents, friends - anything as a bargaining chip. And if you somehow forget? He wouldn't go back to happy, chill Karma. Because he knows that the human mind eventually remembers, hence his bad endings here.

But what happens if you're down with that? If you're just as obsessed as him?

Woah, woah, woah, woah - he did NOT see that coming. He'd freak out, and just outright say that "He needs time to process" lol. Karma would then go in his bed, and just get a good night's sleep before waking up and having that discussion with you LMFAO. He'd then figure out what to do from there. But overall, he'd be happy to know that he doesn't need to hide his past from you anymore.

LOLOLOL 😭😭😭😭 not me answering after the Kallisto hype 😭😭😭

But no, actually! He understands his brother needs some love, cuz he ain't giving any 🥰🥰🥰

NO WAY!!!!!!!!!! AN ARISTOTLE ASK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ANON I WANNA KISS YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ANYWAYS

Karma's opinion on Aristotle is....wary.

Now while they do know each other for a while (since they were kids), it's nothing personal. Their relationship is strictly professional. Both were taught not to get too comfortable with one another, since they were heirs to their own dynasties. So they remained on good terms.

But after her family's downfall, the expectations of their relationship changed. After all, she was no longer a princess, but a prized hostage to "keep the peace" between the Sangres and her people. So away from prying eyes, Karma was encouraged by both staff and her grandfather to taunt her, bully her, to break her spirit. But instead, Karma ignored her to spare her further embarrassment and pity.

But in the short moments he's spoken to her, he reads her eyes. And her eyes do not show hidden anger, revenge or distraught.

Rather, it is hope. Unwavering hope.

And it is parasitic to those who meet her.

Because rather than biting her owner's hand, she accepts it. Instead of shouting for a rebellion, she remains quiet. As if subservient. Submissive.

But yet she lives. Despite her tiredness, she rises. Despite her body worn with love bites, bruises and semen, she heals from it. Despite her body broken in, her spirit is not worn out, nor is her dignity. While yes, it is rusted, it is still there.

And her people see it. The way she gives bread, money, food to every pauper within her town. The way she sew and embroiders clothes for every child, and her caring nature to those who aid her and befriend her.

Her etiquette, polished and forged, is her weapon.

And that's what Karma is wary of.

While T'Abuelo used fear to subjugate his enemies, Aristotle - like her father - uses her title to win the heart of the masses. Her actions, her voice, and even her heart is genuine. Scarily genuine.

But every action, good or bad - has long-lasting consequences. Consequences Karma may never be able to see in his lifetime.

But he knows Aristotle has time, lots of time.

So all she has to do is to look.

Smile.

And does Karma get along with other vampires? Or does he have some resentment towards them?

SEVENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN <3

OK so I slightly touched on it here, so I'm just going to answer if MC was a pure-blooded vampire. BUT I AM SUPER EXCITED TO ANSWER THIS ASK!!!!!!!!1

MC as a pure-blooded vampire would make Karma even more suspicious than you being a half-blooded one 😂😂😂. Pure-blooded vampires are not a fan of the Sangres due to T'Abuelo exterminating their population. It's universally known that this guy singlehandedly fucked up their livelihoods, and is the reason why they're struggling today.

But the good thing is, MC wouldn't know that Karma is related to him, since Karma keeps his past locked and hidden. But if that drama came to light....honestly, I don't know what that type of MC would do.

In terms of getting along with other vampires.....eh. He doesn't hate 'em, but he doesn't want to associate with them for multiple reasons: (1) being recognized as a Sangre (2) to protect you and (3) politics. He considers vampiric society as nosy, and power-hungry. The nosiest being pure-bloods.

Pure-blooded society are very tight knit and community-driven. This includes their way of gossip, which spreads super duper fast. So Karma normally stays in human-oriented areas so that there's a lower possibility of them finding out. Otherwise he just stays home, cuz hacking is his job + he likes being a little hermit 😂.

What he would he resent however, is the upper echelon of vampiric society. He considers them as literally vampires, sucking the life out of him, his family and his energy. Whereas Kallisto HATES the faes, Karma HATES (most) vampiric royals/allies/relatives.

Say no more, Anon!

Also if you want to do a little bit more reading on Karma's lore I have on vampires types that exist in his world and very little on here. However this will be explained in a lot more detail in this post.

Karma's Family - Role:

To GREATLY summarize this ask for spoilers sake, the Sangres were originally pure-bloods who served a pure-blooded vampire king. This then changed to serving the king in secret, to removing their ties from royalty altogether, which became fully permanent thanks to T'Abuelo.

Now the Sangres act as an intermediary for international trade amongst criminals, keeping things stable. The origins of this influence run deep, from presidents down to the average worker, due to their original ties with royalty and their history. They also have many shell companies, which prevents their nature and names from coming to light. The average person in Karma's world knows nothing about the Sangres, since their names are under the radar, and not spread around by news channels. You can practically find nothing about them in digital and physical spaces, because they keep it that way.

They also have no allegiance to anyone but the highest bidder. They pass down secrets that can ruin countries, summon worldwide change, cause markets to crash, and spread propaganda that can affect millions. For the criminal world, they consider the Sangres as an open secret - you can look, but you cannot talk kind of rule (I think).

Since faefolk do exist in Karma's world, Sangres do not reveal their name publicly. They hide it behind aliases after aliases to prevent vulnerability. Those who do attempt to bring down this shadow organization will be silenced not by them, but by their own doing. Take that as you will.

Vampiric Society:

In terms of vampiric society, it is split into two: halfbloods/halfbreeds and purebloods/purebreeds. Compared to the past, where purebloods were in the majority - they are now in the minority due to T'Abuelo's involvement with their population. Hence most purebloods side with halfbloods for survival, regardless if they are royals (families with deep history that served kings and queens), allies (families with no royal ties, but work closely with the Sangres), and nobodies (who don't even know Sangres exist). There is a lot of overlap with these tiers that it is complex to write in nature, but this is how they are normally categorized.

There is also an extra tier called relatives, which are higher than royals, but depending on the Sangre leader either has very little influence (T'Abuelo reign to present), or LOTS of influence (before T'Abuelo's reign). This is mostly discussed within the main family or if they have little family - royals and allies who they can trust. But the final outcome of how these roles are completely up to the family head. These roles then stay the same until 15 years after their passing or 10 years of their official abdication.

The problem with Karma, is that Karma never officially abdicated his role. He never gave it up, as his intention was to leave the Sangre household in chaos to the point where the whole system crumbled. He thought that by leaving, he would let the system die with him. It was his long-term plan of revenge, hate, and opportunity for his brothers to escape like he did.

And at first, it did crumble. It did leave vampiric society in a panic.

But his brothers never left. They rebuilt his empire and made it their own; And they can't thank Karma enough.

In fact, they can't wait to show Karma what they've done.

...

Honestly...I have no clue, or rather...no where to start.

Karma...uh...a black panther???

Eunsung....uh.....a cat???
