DIFFERENTFACED is the story of CALEB DUBOIS : illusionist, cardsharp, & collector of borrowed faces. some men hide behind masks. caleb simply convinces you there was never one to begin with.

he's always had a talent for showing people exactly what they expect to see .. and very little of what is actually there. a locked door means far less when no one remembers who walked through it.

Lestat mentioned "Sheridan Le Fanu’s magnificent and sensuous Countess Carmilla Karnstein" in his book, so the fact that he did read it is a canonical event.

Another canonical event is depressed Lestat reading piles of books all alone in his empty house in New Orleans.

Mix the two, there you have it. 💫

✧ Welcome, wonderer ✧

Hello hello! I’m Avian, though most people call me Avi ❤︎⁠

You’re welcome to call me whatever feels right, as long as it’s kind <3

She/Her | Minor

(So please be respectful and keep things appropriate 𖹭)

A few notes about me before we get in:

❤︎⁠ I am hopeless romantic wandering through life like it’s one long enchanted story 🩷✨ ❤︎⁠ I have Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD). I try to keep this little corner of the internet bright and uplifting most of the time ✨ but every once in a while, you might catch a slightly stormier post. Don’t worry though, most days my mind is just being dramatic in the background like an overactive narrator (I’m okay 99% of the time, promise!). I tag all of these stormy posts with #avian's vents, so you're more than welcome to block that tag if needed! :) ❤︎ ⁠Part-time cosplayer, full-time lover of stepping into different worlds and becoming someone else for a little while (I'm also a theatre kid, if you couldn't already tell <3) ❤︎⁠ Competitive speech/debater - so if I ever sound like I’m analyzing things like I’m in a courtroom instead of a blog post… that’s why 😅 I can’t always turn the “logic mode” off once it’s on ❤︎⁠ I am a non-denominational Christian ✨ I promise this space isn’t here to pressure anyone (I’m not about that either, don’t worry). But I will often post about God and my spiritual journey. I’m always happy to talk about it or answer questions as long as it stays kind and respectful 🩷 ❤︎⁠ I do have emotional empathy/am just very emotional in general, so I am prone to getting easily triggered or very easily shutting down. This has been something I have been working on and am starting to get better with, but I figured I'd give a disclaimer just to be safe <3

✧ The Rules of This Little Corner of the Realm ✧

Before you wander too deep into my little corner of the internet, here are a few things to know so everyone stays safe, comfy, and respected ♡

✧ You are warmly welcome to… ✧

♡ Ask me anything

As long as it’s kind, appropriate, and meant in good faith, my inbox is always open to curious travelers ✨

♡ Chat and connect

I adore meeting new people! Just please don’t jump straight into DMs before we’ve talked a bit first (safety reasons, thank you for understanding 🩷). Also, please remember I’m a minor, and I may ignore or block messages that make me uncomfortable.

♡ Ask about ships & fandom thoughts

Even if it’s not my OTP! I’m a multishipper at heart 🩷 All respectful opinions are welcome here, as long as they aren’t pushed onto others who may not be comfortable with them. I know what it feels like to get hate over ships and opinions, so this space is meant to stay safe and judgment-free ✨

♡ Send vents (I can listen!)

Truly, I don’t mind listening at all 🩷 You can send an ask, tag me in a post, or comment something you need to get off your chest - school stress, drama, or even “WHY HAVEN’T THEY KISSED YET?!!” energy 😭✨ Just a reminder, though: if it’s something serious or heavy, please also reach out to someone qualified who can support you properly. I’m always here to listen, but I’m not a professional.

✧ Please do NOT... ✧

♡ No scams or weird DMs

Do not message me asking for money, “streaming advice” (I don’t even stream 😭), or pretending you reported my account. Those will be ignored.

♡ No DM-first behavior from strangers

If we haven’t talked before, please don’t DM me. There may be rare exceptions, but generally I won’t respond to DMs from people I have never interacted with before. If you want to be friends, come say hi through an ask first 🩷

♡ No rudeness toward me or my circle

Even if it’s not aimed at me directly, being unkind to my mutuals or followers will result in a block from me. Let’s keep this space gentle and welcoming for everyone <3

♡ No hate or hostility toward my interests or beliefs

Disagreement is fine - everyone has their own views - but disrespect is not welcome here. Keep it kind or keep it moving ✨

♡ No discrimination or bigotry of any kind

This includes phobic behavior, hate speech, political hostility, or any form of targeted cruelty. This space is meant to stay safe for everyone who enters it 🩷
