and what are your thoughts on how iv joins!! at first i was thinking hes a friend of iii's and comes looking for him, or an old friend of ii's and reappears, maybe led by sleep. does he have to be turned to join them? maybe he stays with them for a while as a human, and one of them is uneasy about feeding with a human around so they start going without, start starving themself, and sweet iv with the big heart notices and feels guilty about a friend suffering especially at his expense. so he offers for them to feed on him. which is exactly what they didnt want but who can say no to such an offer, and when theyre starving?
charlie holly shit i love this
i’ve been thinking about iv joining the coven for A While™️ now, actually.
in my mind, ii, iii and iv were initially led to vessel by sleep, as humans. they are turned into vampires eventually, if they decide they want to stay and worship sleep. in this scenario, sleep demands blood sacrifices and he consumes the blood through his vessels
i love love love the idea of one of the vessels restraining themselves around iv while he’s still human! maybe they had so many bad experiences with previous ivs that they felt it was necessary? maybe they don’t want to scare him? they really don’t want this new iv to leave, he’s really sweet 🥺
little do they know that ivy is 100% on board with this lifestyle :))) (he’s one of us lmao)
of course he notices that the they are paler than normal, their eyes duller, their cheeks hollow. they look hungry and he gets really worried.
then one day he goes “if you need… you can feed on me” and iii thinks he might be having a stroke. i think the vessels would be very honored that iv would offer himself like that 👀👀 they probably have been dreaming about having a little taste for a long time, they just didn’t know how iv would feel about that.
they all have a lovely time with iv’s offer. and tbh, they still feed on each other as vampires… you know, for funsies 🙃🙃🙃
