Well it’s a bit hard to grab power without having at least a little bit of an attitude, hm?
Oh, I’m absolutely certain that attitude is an enviable quality to possess when the guillotine falls. It won’t change anything, mind you, but it’s gonna make it funnier for everyone involved. Occupational hazard, I presume.

I am a prince if you ask everyone but the Tremere.
If you ask the Tremere they will tell you that I am a bitch.
And they aren’t really wrong either.
haHAH
Being paranoid doesn’t mean not being followed. In much the same way, being a Prince doesn’t mean not being a bitch.
In fact, I hear there is a certain correlation between monarchy and the aptitude for assholeness.

You obviously know nothing about men if this is what you think they say

Men will see a mouse and eat it
lettuce-queen-is-valid
No they won’t because why would anyone eat a mouse that’s stupid not all men are bad and not all men are stupid you may have had a bad experience with a man but not all men are bad granted there bad men but instantly accusing all men as bad is immature I’m dating a man and he is nowhere near stupid and I know for a fact that he won’t eat a mouse and in pretty sure I could name at least five other men that won’t do something as immature as that and saying that a man will see a mouse and eat it won’t get you a anywhere with a man if anything it will drive them away.
babyitaliano
A man will see a mouse and be like is anyone else gonna eat this and not wait for an answer

you’re on the beach passing by one of those airbrush t shirt kiosks that have a million unlicensed characters on them but you see one with your exact face and name on it and he won’t sell it to you

Ephraim was an interesting one to parse! In many ways, I still see him as an enigma, so it was tough to hammer out what might evolve. Let me tell you what I love though: Interstellar entity working magic with a Tremere. Hell. Yes. And for some reason, I also think their senses of humour would mesh well! I could definitely see them as some sort of magical colleagues, maybe even long distance correspondents on some shared project?
Naturally, due to Esfir’s past lives, it’s entirely possible they connected under other circumstances than these. The nature of it depends on who Ephraim was as a younger person! I don’t see them as being particularly sibling-like or having parental bonds one way or the other. More cousin-ly or aunt/uncle-y - something with a bit of distance, but also a bit of trust.
All that said, if you’re thinking more antagonistic? Phew. I have no trouble seeing either of them as decently powerful threats, perhaps thrown into opposition by the demands of the Tremere vs Esfir’s significantly less hierarchical and secretive leanings. I wouldn’t want to get caught between them in a magical showdown!
#yes yes yes. i'm gonna reblog all of these because they're just so dang GOOD! //#do you know these chase scenes in movies where two people are looking for each other but somehow manage to miss encountering? //#with a nonchalant tune playing in the background which gives it more a ' where in the world is carmen sandiego ' vibe? //#a situation that's devoid of aggression and more fuelled by intrigue and a mystical playfullness... //#ephraim is big on conspiration and determination and different timelines and alternative universes - esfir being#the timeless entity that she is - and what she intrinsically represents - THAT is an enigma! //#as a tremere - and as someone who'd spend month shifting through old timey pictures to figure out if there's either more than one esfir#or a whole genealogy of esfir-looking ladies - i feel like he'd have an intuitive perception of the immensity of esfir. //#while simulatenously - esfir being esfir and ephraim being ephraim - they'd be like 'oh it's cool. we're chill. '//#ephraim spent a significant amount of his life as a domitor-hopping ghoul and is a comparatively young vampire with a LOT of humanity -#he appreciates and values humans and humanity - advocating for souvereignity and justice and truth to be told -#seeing that esfir considers humans to be her younger siblings and is proud of their progress there is definitely a convergence! //#only his nature as tremere - and the clandestine and conspirative character of the bunch - could foster the potential for big trouble. //#so your initial impression of sorta distant but also close aunt/uncle dynamic? BIG MOOD. //#esfir strikes me as someone who attracts the bizarre and curious ( caughs caughs john questionmark caughs caughs )#and ephraim is definitely someone who chases it //#and honestly?

I’m not your average skateboarder. I don’t “dress like a stoner.” I don’t “know how to skateboard.” I don’t “disrespect authority.” I’ve never “been on a skateboard.”

“To look at people in capitalist society and conclude that human nature is egoism, is like looking at people in a factory where pollution is destroying their lungs and saying that it is human nature to cough.”
