17, 19, 20 & 21 PLEASE… i need Gretchen’s hot takes 🫶
OMG QUEEN JEZ HIIIII!!! Ooo we're spilling blood tea over here! Thank you for the questions!
17. What are their thoughts on the Camarilla?
More fake than every silicone pair of tits in all of L.A. combined. Like fuck 'em. Even Regina George shudders at their level of petty. Them denying the existence of antediluvians and Caine is an eyeroll of the ages, like suuure buddy... there's no such thing as greater power that's pulling strings behind the curtain... As for the members, the only exception is Mercurio who ended up being the broest of them all within the organization. It was easier for her to put more trust in a ghoul than another Kindred. They're more approachable and laid back than vamps. There was even a time when she took pride in being Strauss's apprentice, buuut her learnings weren't enough to quench her thirst for power and he was very restrictive when it came to the topic of wielding "dangerous" magic. Her biggest, most spontaneous "fuck you" to wizard Caillou was Gretchen accepting the offer of joining the Sabbat, fucking his enemy then returning to the chantry to show him just how well danger fits her. Though, out of all the enemies she liquidated, there was a pang of unease after killing him in particular, but she got over it, not really wanting to dwell on the faces of her past, especially on those who belonged to the Cam.
19. What are their thoughts on the Sabbat?
Though they have their moments of backstabs, their cause actually makes sense to her. Literally, when you're given the chance to fuck around with the powers you're given, then why hide them and why not free yourself from the elders' grasp over your blood? The Sabbat is truly the sect in which she feels like being her actual self. In the beginning It was a pain to go through the trials of finding her pack before officially earning her place to stand amongst them. It took some getting used to the prospect of doing actual teamwork after dealing with most things on her own prior to joining them. In the end, after giving her all to prove herself, everything worked out alright. Gretchen's Beast is happy, she's made close friends through the Vinculum (to her it's just as valid as any natural friendship), found love with snuff porn addict- Andrei no matter how twisted and deranged, gained access to his nepo baby money in the process, and she also gets to participate in the Sabbat's fun little rites.
20. What are their thoughts on the Anarchs?
Admittedly, Gretchen has some respect for them and digs their spirit, even thinking they're similar to the Sabbat in that sense, but she finds the Anarchs rather too rambunctious. It's cool how they bravely challenge authority and all, but in her eyes there still needs to be at least some form of guidance to balance liberty. They have potential, but their humanity holds them back from being a part of something greater.
21. What is their predator type?
Oof! Baby, I'm worse with V5 🤡 but I'm thinking Blood Leech would fit her.
