#sorry class

felt compelled to gather all of my creatures into one post so everyone can look at them.

starting with Eden, my specialest boy. 10th gen (formerly 12th) Malkavian with the nastiest religious psychosis ever. He's very deep in the Camarilla trenches and he's madly in love with the prince. I've drawn him the most and he's the one character I've put like... the most of myself into. he's great!

Alban and Cassian, my married people. They are a UNIT (do NOT separate them!) and also easily my second favorites. 6th gen Kiasyd! Alban is Cassian's sire, and it was the classic maneuver of "I can't live without you so you're gonna live forever, ok?" yknow. that thing you're not supposed to do. Didn't get permission for it either. Alban told Mithras that Helena said it was ok, and told Helena that Mithras said it was ok. How would they ever find out? By talking to each other? I have to laugh.

They ended up surviving the entire game, as did their marriage, so now I get to make things up in my head for the modern day. Alban works like a normal person. He's a surgeon and he loves his job so much. Cassian is unemployed but he's always off doing necromancy shenanigans for other vampires so he's vampire employed ig. They're so so so in love it hurts. And they're ANNOYING about it.

next up we got Aspen, my Toreador that should have been a Brujah lmao. 12th generation, nasty relationship with his sire, and he does not give a fuuuuuuuuck. He's a tattoo artist and he always tries his hardest to maintain his humanity in all aspects. He also has the eat food merit but he wastes it on mcdonalds fries

sigh. Johannes. My Ventrue opera singer that I never ended up getting to play. He's a 9th gen, diablerized his sire for the bit, and he's got way too much money. He was one of the last castrati out of Europe, and he's kind of a control freak as a result. Has the rival sires flaw, Aspen's sire actually wanted him first. Oh! and Johannes is Aspen's evil ex LOL

this is actually my newest guy! his name is Anastasius, and he's a 5th generation something. Maeghar technically. Functionally a Kiasyd. Realistically a secret third thing. He's from Greece! He somehow always ends up making mortals think he's god when that's the last thing he wants. He took a 1000 year long nap to escape his cult only to wake up to a new one. He's only awake to take care of what needs done asap so he can go back to sleep. He wants to hit the Lasombra shuffle and sleep at the bottom of the ocean so no one can bother him.

MY MAGE ENKI. And his sister ig but this ain't about her. He's Enki funger with the serial numbers filed off and I'm not ashamed in the slightest. He's a Euthanatos mage, a cultist, and he has SEVERAL pet insects (and spiders and centipedes and all sorts of bug-adjacent things). He's also always on the opium that alexander the great was chewin on.

last but not least, Shiloh! My changeling!!! I'm still veeeeerrrrryyy new to changeling so I'm not entirely used to the character. He's a satyr, obviously. And he's a duke! He's really really bad at it though because he had approximately 2 weeks of mentorship before his mentor (the previous duke) fucking DIED, and Shiloh was his heir. He very much blames himself for his mentor's death. He has NO idea what he's doing and he can't really... command respect. He has the weak willed flaw AND the soft hearted flaw. And he has asthma. A strong gust of wind will kill him.

bot lying to her just feels cruel and unnecessary, since cabby isn’t trying to use the information in a way that would hurt them. bot’s reasoning for distrusting cabby’s is pointless. cabby needs accurate info and facts because otherwise she physically cant remember anything. cabby doesnt share files willy nilly either, she has only ever shared contestant files with test tube for the sake of the competition, but that would be the same thing as someone who didn’t have a memory disability sharing what they can remember abt a contestant verbally

but bot doesn’t let cabby use her memory aid, which cabby agrees to. it would have made more sense if bot just told cabby to keep the file private, which im sure cabby would have! the reason she elimed fan was bc he took a file without asking first, invading her privacy!

and this is the most dangerous message to send to someone with a memory disability. becuase oftentimes manipulators will prevent them from recording things that are said to them to more easily gaslight them later. im not saying bot is trying to do this, they arent, but its still a bad message to tell people with memory issues to not keep personal record of “private conversations”. keeping these records is how mentally disabled and physically disabled people keep themselves safe! not everyone in the world is a good, genuine person!

i don’t understand why the message AE seems to be sending is that cabby’s disability aid is a bad thing! its not a bad thing to keep records! its a good thing, actually, for disabled people to protect themselves! and cabby isn’t in danger in ii, but its still an unsafe message to send to say she shouldn’t keep records to keep her facts straight. ae tries to justify this by implying that the people around cabby are there to support her; but she shouldnt be told to stop protecting herself because she should trust she’s safe

This scene is framed as a heartwarming moment when its the most unsafe thing someone could say to a disabled person. If someone prevents you from using an aid and tells to rely on them instead, thats a RED FLAG. this is a common way for abusers to increase your dependance on them

IM NOT SAYING BOT IS AN ABUSER. BUT FRAMING THIS POSITIVELY IS UNSAFE. say im reading too much into a childrens media but for SOME CHILDREN THIS MIGHT BE THEIR FIRST EXPOSURE TO ANOTHER CHARACTER W MEMORY ISSUES!

at the end of the episode cabby leaves her file behind. HER DISABILITY AID BEHIND. why Is That the Moral You Want. Disability aids are so disabled people can be more independant. why are you using your disabled character have the “be more open and vulnerable” arc?? disabled people are already one of the most vulnerable minorities! do not push this idea to stop them from protecting themselves!
