- they use mirror pronouns, because i thought that would be funny for a vampire. (steals your pronouns steals your pronouns st) (note: mirror pronouns means you should use Your Own pronouns for them - although they're always fine with any, they'll appreciate it if you switch it up :3 )

- other vampires CAN feed off of them, because they still technically produce sap, it's just....incredibly unfulfilling. their sap tastes like your friends making plans in front of you and saying "oh, i GUESS you can come." it tastes like your neighbors having a party at 3am when you have work in the morning. you get the idea

- because they live in the shiverpeaks (and aren't connected to the pale tree's dream), they had an easier time when mordremoth was yelling in everyone's head - they still heard him, but it was like someone talking in the room with them, rather than all-consuming and indistinguishable from their own thoughts. they were interested at first - how often do you get the chance to talk to an elder dragon?? - but disappointed when it turned out all he had to say was KILL MAIM DESTROY BITE KILL etc etc.

THANKS I HAD A LOT OF FUN THINKING ABOUT THIS

okay so. im just gonna do bullet points bc thats what i have brain for rn. i dont know what the actual plot of their route would look like. that doesn't matter. nobody is here for the plot. anyway.

PRE-ROUTE:

you'd get them interested in you by showing off your knowledge in [plot-relevant subject]. they appreciate confidence and passion!!! they would ask for your help on a project or smth (the "project" is their ongoing need for life force) and then they would offer to bite you. if you accept, you get to progress to the rest of their route!

GOOD END:

this was actually. Really hard. i think it would be pretty hard to get their good end! you'd have to walk a very delicate balance of not pushing them away too much but also not letting them walk all over you. im not sure what the good end would look like because tara isn't interesting to me when they're, uh, normal.

NEUTRAL END:

if you turn down their offers of care too often, they would just...break it off. they like to feel like they're being nice! there would be no hard feelings, but you would go your separate ways.

BAD END:

images in order from left to right:

HMM. this one was hard, but fun!

1. caomh, diarmaid: tied for first place! they're both very detail-oriented. they have to be, what with engineering flesh minions/bighuge iron wrought figures/etc.

2. zenais: she would do them for fun in her free time, but 1. she has no free time and 2. they bug the shit out of her. she has a collection of them anyway JDJSJFJS

3. tarasios: i think they're good at it but i don't have an explanation why </3

4. jack: like zenais, she probably does them for fun in her free time, but she actually enjoys them

5. august: she's normal. it probably took a little bit of learning, but as marshal she had to learn how to quickly spot mistakes, so she would be pretty good at it

6. saraid, taliesin: i think they'd both be okay at it, they just don't do them often because. better things to do

7. iaxe, lyda: both pretty solidly bad at them. they both fidget too much and can't focus on them </3 gets distracted halfway through and goes to do something else

oh my god I don’t care 

o way it was like a hella rad ask. Also you didn’t :figure out” who it was. I thought I had made it obvious that it was me when it first happened because I sent you like two other asks at the same time (I think)
