a grooOOooOoovy and fresh unit bravo!!!

Completely inspired by @seravadumortain 's meme template and post :D I just slapped some vamps in there!

Taking someone's cigarette out of their mouth: Multiple meanings - used a lot in media to convey control, power play, very masculine, I'm your boss and this is mine now, get over it. Mildly flirty, look at me, all in your space and shit, seductive. You're not allowed to smoke, because I say so.

Putting the cigarette back in their mouth afterwards: Ground-breaking. Would be less erotic to just fuck honestly. Who does this?

i've been thinking about the detective's nanny from the agency again (because i saw this post) and i decided to compile what information i could find about the nanny with their sources. if anyone has anything i missed, please let me know so i can edit the post and add it!

the detective had multiple agency nannies(1, 2) who were supernaturals(3), at least one (if not all) of whom had "empathic type abilities"(4)*. the detective didn't have "a different one [nanny] every week" but also likely didn't have "one for their whole childhood"(2). instead, "they likely shift out quite a bit on a rota"(1). i would speculate that the detective likely had one nanny for a few years, then another nanny for a few years, and so on and so forth until they aged out of requiring the nanny's care, as "children need stability"(2).

rebecca ceased to hire agency nannies "as soon as MC was mostly old enough to care for themselves and before drawing the MC’s attention" to the supernatural(5). afterwards, the nannies would have been reassigned and moved away from wayhaven(6). it is currently (as of july 4 2018) unplanned for any of the nannies to show up in the series(6).

it was due to the detective's response (or lack thereof) to the nanny's supernatural abilities that rebecca figured out about the detective's mutation(3, 4). rebecca knew that something was odd about how the detective responded (or didn't respond) to supernaturals, but it didn't click until the murphy case that the detective also had the mutation that murphy was after(3). the agency nanny (and likely any other supernaturals that the detective encountered) would have been confused about the detective's (lack of) response to their abilities(4).

we know very little about the specifics of what responsibilities rebecca took on when raising the detective. it has been stated that rebecca was "home for those special moments in the MC’s life" such as holidays(7)**. rebecca "was there [for the detective] as much as possible, but mostly it was the nanny who was there"(1). it is unclear precisely what daily activities rebecca was involved in when raising the detective.

Excellent compilation, thank you!!

As for holiday magic, i take that to more canonical than the tumblr asks tbh (i think the tumblr asks can be subject to change as the books are written)

her armpits would NOT be clean shaven

antiquity tuesday :)

I was tagged by @evilbunnyking <3

Tagging @nsewell @agentnatesewell @nerdierholler @serenpedac @crownleys @aztarion and anyone else who wants to share!

the screenshots under the cut are from the fantasy/knight au featuring Ava and Elena, and can be found here :)

disturbed by how little ppl acknowledge the secondary health risks of vampire bites. if your vampire lover is drinking your blood you MUST be up to date on your tetanus shot. puncture wounds are at especially high risk for tetanus infections. just because your partner was born in 1312 doesn’t mean you have to die like it.

moreover they should be prepping the bite point with an alcohol wipe.

and while I’m at it, I’ve noticed a blithe disregard for health & safety when it comes to blood pacts. can’t believe I have to say this but you should absolutely NOT be cutting your palm open with the pocket knife from your belt holster (??????)

if you’re expecting to be in a blood pact/oath situation please just pick up some sterile finger lancets from the pharmacy. cannot stress this all enough.

Please y’all!! tetanus is NOT caused by rusty metal. It’s a bacteria found damn near everywhere, and wounds infected with saliva are especially high risk for tetanus infections.

it’s also a common misconception that vampire saliva is antiseptic. Vampires spread that myth on purpose. They also CAN cross running water. Make them bathe and brush their teeth!!!!

OBVIOUSLY luna is of malaysian heritage and definitely celebrates Eid so in honor of this upcoming Eid i just had to draw the gang in traditional clothing and they all definitely celebrate it with her TwT

have a blessed Eid to anyone that is also celebrating!! selamat hari raya x

POV: you’re Morgan taking a drunk Neveah Desanto home from the bar at like 3 am.

The information that M drives like life's a Fast and Furious movie only adds to this. Morgan peels into the warehouse driveway at 3:10 a.m cranky because she "had to" drive (Ava was ready to do it but "she asked me").

Neveah then stumbles drunkenly out of the car expressing concerns that Morgan's driving was perhaps not the safest for the opossum (whom she is holding like a baby).

Fans' attitudes toward AI-generated works

Irina Cisternino, a PhD candidate of Stony Brooke University, is writing their research on topics related to technology, art and fandom. You can participate by filling out a survey and additionally, signing up for an interview. The survey is expected to last until at least the end of April, those, who signed up for the interview, will be contacted later. You need to be at least 18 years old to participate in either, be able to understand and speak English and identify as a fan.

After the completion of the research, it will be accessible as the dissertation of the researcher. If you have further questions, you can contact Irina Cisternino at irissa.cisternino@stonybrook.edu or Lu-Ann Kozlowsky at lu-ann.kozlowski@stonybrook.edu.

They're also raffling off seven $50 in Amazon gift cards for participation, if that's a good motivator for anyone

This is rad and a well developed survey.

This was brilliant. I got to let off a bit of steam about how shitty AI is in general and how SUPER shitty it is to find it in fandom spaces.

do you think farah has to be introduced to the concept of allergies? if vampires can’t get sick then i assume that means they can’t get allergies either, but maybe other supernaturals in echo world would? i want to see her deal with a detective with hay fever

In actual answer to this post some supernaturals can have allergies. UB doesn't though, you are correct.

question for my wayhaven experts!!!!!!!!!!!!!

is blood magic a thing in twc universe? like has mishka ever mentioned anything about it at all?

Uh we know for sure necromancy exists but blood magic is sort of implied to exist here.

it’s f’s birthday.. farah needs that girlfriend jacket  🤗 🤗 🤗
