GRINS. hi... here's my toreador <3 her name is brienne and she's a silver-tongued menace

🎶 Have no choice but be isolated, Struggling, left alone, apart 🎶

If I don't draw Kitty at least once per year, I'll evaporate.

And what a coinkydink, yesterday I leveled up to 32! That's insane! 🤯

Because how many ask games are too many? Trick question, there's never enough! We all know we adore talking about our Kindred and hearing about others.

Send as many Clans/ Cults of your choice to the reblogger, plus their OC name, let them answer the relevant questions about their Kindred. The questions are based around the Clan/ Cult rather than you have to send the cult or clan the OC is in. ♥️🩸

Add your OC's names in the tags and share!

Don't forget to send asks to the person you reblogged this from!

Clan Inspired

Banu Haqim - What's the worst punishment your OC has received? Have they given any punishments out? How was it handled?

Brujah - What is something your OC will always fight for? What's the reason?

Gangrel - What is your OC's Beast like? Do they get along.. more or less?

Hecata - Does your OC have a family? Be it through blood or chosen. Tell us about them.

Lasombra - What's the most ruthless thing your OC has done? Why?

Malkavian - Think of your OC as a mortal, pre-embrace. If someone showed them what's going to happen to them, from the night they were turned to now, would they let the embrace happen or would they try to avoid it?

Ministry - What's the best/ worst lie your OC have ever told? What was the reason? Was it believed?

Nosferatu - Your OC is now cursed. Again. Their favourite physical thing about them has been changed to their worst nightmare. What is it?

Ravnos - Is your OC a daredevil or are they more cautious? What's the most chaotic thing that they've done?

Salubri - Ignore how many dots in Humanity there are. In your opinion, what's your OC's humanity like?

Toreador - Describe your OCs aesthetic in the worst way possible, then tell us what it actually is.

Tremere - What is something your OC wanted and got it for themselves, no matter how selfish or high the cost was?

Tzimisce - What's your OC's most prized possession? How long have they had it? Why is it important?

Ventrue - Does your OC have any influence or sway anywhere? Are they respected?

Caitiff - Would you say your OC is quite individualistic or do they conform to their Clan stereotype?

Thin-blood - Has your OC ever been shunned or cast-out? Are they currently an outcast? Or have they ever shunned someone else? Why?

Cult Inspired

Ashfinders - Does your OC use social media? If so, which platforms and what's their following like?

Bahari - How well does your OC cope with physical and/ or mental pain?

Church of Caine - Does your OC have any religious/ Kindred beliefs?

Church of Set - Is your OC able to be their true selves? If not, why? Is there anyone they can be real in front of?

Cult of Shalim - What's the worst thing your OC has suffered so far?

Cult of Mithras - Has your OC been in a blood bond? Are they currently in one? Do they have anyone bonded to them?

Nephilim - What pleasures does your OC get out of their (un)life?

Was watching LA by Night so of course the next Disco Elysium inspired Kindred I drew was Nines ...

RUNNING UP THAT HILL: A VAMPIRE THE MASQUERADE BLOODLINES FICLET

Another spur of the moment writing, because the scene with the taxi driver after LaCroix calls a hunt on the player character has such good dialog. This centers around my Toreador character, Brienne Isadora Eranthe, a transfem union lawyer who was Embraced into the Masquerade after, what was intended to be, a simple night out.

Please no spoilers about the end of the game, either! I'm newer to the game, and I've gotten to the part where you do find out Nines is alive, and you're sent to confront Ming Xiao. I just... had to write this ficlet out fjdaslkjfkslfjs. Character development and whatnot.

This isn't proofread or anything, either. Just vibes <3

A little thing* for my current muse 💕 Very rare that I make an OC and immediately become attached to them to this level (the last few were Vincent, Antonia, Virgil, and Bell)... but I care for Brienne sm.

* minus the fact I forgot to fill out her alignment... whoops.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Quotes on the pages are from different books that I'd imagine she'd read a lot/to be her favorites. She's a huge fine arts and literature connoisseur beyond her legal work (hence her absorption into Clan Toreador). I'll put them below the cut ☺️

mutuals lets do this

my friend mohamed’s cat, amy, is older than all three of his children! he carried her with him when he and his family were forced to evacuate their home in north gaza due to the brutal colonizing forces and their us-funded death squads ravaging palestine for its land.

here is amy now - she’s been skin and bones since the genocide has prevented mohamed from accessing adequate care for her illness. still, she makes his children smile and he hopes to get treatment for her when they are able to evacuate into egypt. just the same as mohamed plans on finding care for his wife, who is suffering from advanced uterine cancer, mohamed cares a great deal about this little cat.

here’s another picture of amy and of the two birds that mohamed’s family escaped north gaza with. how incredible is it that so many palestinians refuse to abandon their beloved animals, even as the occupation indiscriminately brutalizes and destroys all life?

something beautiful happened! this tiny kitten has joined mohamed’s family in the tent! abdul rahman, sarah, and lynn all love this kitten and hope that they are able to bring it across the border when the rafah crossing opens back up.

despite serious illness, mohamed’s daughter sarah talks constantly about how much she loves these cats and wants to play with them again. mohamed tells me that she loves cats more than she loves her own parents sometimes. i understand her. can you help keep her safe and ensure that she can bring these animals with her to egypt?

donations increased temporarily after the election results were called, then slowed down again as americans seem to retreat back into themselves. please let these people hold your attention this time.

mohamed is #192 on this verification sheet.

if you would like an alternative method for donating, please use this cashapp QR code to send money to mohamed’s fundraising coordinator. we are in constant contact and mohamed confirms to me that 100% of these funds are sent directly to him without delay.

please help me protect this family and their pets.

Hana-Rawhiti Kareariki Maipi-Clarke, the youngest MP in Aotearoa, starts a haka to protest the first vote on a bill reinterpreting the 1840 Treaty of Waitangi

Important to not forget this isn't the only thing happening. The haka disrupting the vote in parliament is supported by nation wide hīkoi of thousands of people on their way to the capital to protest this

If you want to learn about what the proposed bill is that people are protesting and what it would actually mean for the constitution of Aotearoa if it went through...

[Video description:

A video taken in the NZ Parliament debate chamber. It starts zoomed in on MP Hana-Rāwhiti Maipi-Clarke, a young Māori woman. She holds up a piece of paper (the bill being debated) and rips it in two. She chants a haka, a fierce look on her face, as she makes her way down from her seat to stand in front of the opposing MPs and chant directly at them. Two members of her party join her. Several other people are standing to join the haka. The camera pans up to show the public gallery, where most of the members of the public have also joined in on the haka. The words of the haka, which is repeated three times, are:

Ka mate, ka mate! Ka ora, ka ora!

Ka mate, ka mate! Ka ora, ka ora!

Tēnei te tangata pūhuruhuru

Nāna nei i tiki mai whakawhiti te rā

Ā, upane! ka upane!

Ā, upane, ka upane, whiti te rā!

After the haka ends there is some intelligible shouting and the sound of the Speaker of the House saying "The House is to be suspended, that is what the ringing of the bells means, and the gallery is to be cleared-"]

Translation of the haka:

Centrist Dems seize opening at the DNC: ‘I don’t want to be the freak show party’ - POLITICO

Or as one DNC member from Florida put it: “I don’t want to be the freak show party, like they have branded us. You know, when you’re a mom with three kids, and you live in middle America and you’re just not really into politics, and you see these ads that scare the bejesus out of you, you’re like, ‘I know Trump’s weird or whatever, but I would rather his weirdness that doesn’t affect my kids.’”

It's been like a week and they're openly turning on trans kids.

Please help this family!!

Hossam Al-Bardawil (@hossamgaza) needs funds to evacuate! He has lost nearly his entire family, including his parents and his siblings, when his home was bombed a year ago. Now he is caring for his remaining family; two of his sister-in-laws and their children. They have lost their husbands, and these children have lost their fathers. He is bearing the responsibility of providing for them alone, and needs your help! He was 10k away from reaching his goal, and then had to restart completely! He now only has $70 raised out of $15,000, please go help them in any way you can!!

People turning against Chappell Roan for not accepting harassment & stalking of her and her family, saying Hozier is acting embarrassing for defending his girlfriend THAT Y'ALL WEREN'T EVEN SUPPOSED TO KNOW ABOUT after she got harassed online, calling Pedro Pascal names for.. apparently not greeting fans loudly in his own private time?

Y'all have GOT to get a grip on real life if you think celebs establishing boundaries is working against you. You do not know these people, you will not sleep with these people and they do not owe you anything!!!!!!

sometimes. sometimes insanity occurs when making up your guys. including a captain rex fan B1. because captain rex is an honourary B1.
