My high fantasy vampire novel is still available, in ebook, print, and even audiobook through Apple Books! This is the book where a friend of mine specifically wanted me to write him in and kill him, so...why not check it out?

Well it works for me!

So where's the cake?

One of my favourite tropes is soft characters going absolutely feral when shit goes down, so I had to do it here 😅

For Lahmea it's her competence and the fact that she cares deeply about her family, and she shows growth over time. For Evaline, it's her gentleness, compassion, and how soft she seems compared to Lahmea (and the ways she defies that.)

*especially* with DD2. I feel like there's a lot of soul that happens in the quieter moments where you're running from place to place, whether it's your Pawns chatting or just random things in the world.

You could feel his pain through the camera, poor guy 😅

Oh, THAT horror show. I watched the That Toy Guy video on it, and it was a bloody menace.

Cap'n Cupcake @maliceunchained.bsky.social · 12h

It really was! I'm not big on horror usually, but I wanted to see Radcliffe really giving his all (and outside of the Bitchqueen of TERFdom's shit). Also I see Event Horizon on your list, which is a CLASSIC.

The Woman in Black...that wasn't the Daniel Radcliffe one, was it?

This is something that @skullqueen.bsky.social understood, with a character influenced by Slaanesh who gorged himself on food and fine wine. Slaanesh is the god of *excess*, not sex or debauchery.

Brakka Quilltusk @brakkaquilltusk.bsky.social · 15h

Seriously, this is one of the cool things about Slaanesh's lore that I hate gets overlooked in lieu of the whole "Slaaneshi SA degen" bullshit memes.

Sensation, excess, delight, & perfection in ALL things. Hedonism does not equal sex. It's over-indulgence.

Codex: Chaos Daemons 6th edition. Slaanesh clearly prefers consent because it's far better for a "good man" to walk into hell on his own feet than dragging him down.

So no, Slaanesh isn't the SA god and people should stop making jokes about Slaanesh being the SA god.

Possibly. I'm not sure to what extent they'll try and integrate into my job role, although from what I can see my job might well require the accuracy and intuition of a human.

Exactly! Of course, Katalin would complain as only teenagers can, and her and Lahmea are still working through some stuff, but it'd be a good holiday 😁

Cap'n Cupcake @maliceunchained.bsky.social · 1d

I really love the perspective on this. Makes Shockwave look as sinister as we all know he can be. And the texture on him really *feels* like shiny metal. The glow effects are gorgeous too. Just a brilliant piece.

Lahmea would take Evaline and their daughter to the South-East of their continent, where she is from originally. She'd want to share her history with her family, and Evaline would be happy to go.

Yeah, some playlists do NOT understand the assignment.

Cap'n Cupcake @maliceunchained.bsky.social · 1d

Yes, exactly like that. No reason why no ability to get rid of them, they're just...there. always.

And not just normal bats! No, this includes Fellbats, crypt crawlers, Lesser Chiropterans (ogre-sized bats), and one massive, dragon-sized undead Chiropteran matriarch.

#AwesomeCharacters

I'm glad I spent a moment thinking this over, because the first pick isn't the most interesting. While Lahmea's second-in-command Driszca would absolutely step up, the most fun would be had with Sabine - a vampire who, for reasons unknown, is perpetually followed by bats.

Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters

Let's talk about the B team!

If your main characters were out of commission, which of your side characters do you think would step up to continue your story?

Who could carry the narrative? Who would want to?
