The way that Dracula started subtly at first but he's been slowly and lovingly stripping the agency away from Jonathan every single day for weeks and weeks taking away his sleep his personal space his privacy destroying his belongings gaslighting him making him isolate himself from loved ones making him seek refuge from danger in Dracula's mercy and now taking away not just his means of communication but his very identification. The way that everything that once made him Jonathan Harker now belongs to Count Dracula. The way that his name isn't even his own anymore so he might as well forget it
Embarrassing stories:
TAS: he once mentioned the whole “turned into a giant bat to hibernate/fall into a coma for a few months “ thing once. most wanted more details, and some were very skeptical even after the details. He still remembers it as some of the best sleep he’s ever had (he is a college student after all).
Ultimate: knows a scary amount about symbiote/Klyntar biology because that was his field of study at hydra (not phlebotomy or hematology, which the others find weird); which brings up the question “how did your accident happen, then?”. He doges the question every time because he’s embarrassed to admit that he didn’t do it himself (Otto did it to him as payback for his attempted backstabbing and betrayal). Therefore the rest of them come up with wild “theories” about it (both to tease him and also to get him to tell them what actually happened; this was either TAS or Midnight Son’s idea).
616: has mild claustrophobia from being held hostage in boxes/containers for indefinite periods, on multiple occasions, by bad guys. Tries his best to hide it from the others, especially Ultimate (the last couple of times where because of unethical scientists, and if that isn’t Ultimate…). Also, he modeled for a swimsuit issue and a sunscreen ad once; regrets the later but not the former.
Blood ties: has a favorite soap opera that Amanda got him into while they stayed in hotels during their cross country journey; it’s a rough expy of both ‘Dark Shadows’ and ‘The Young and The Restless’. 616 remembers the show too, but doesn’t actually recall enjoying.
Midnight Son: occasionally enjoys scented candles and meditation; the others immediately played up his enjoyment of them after hearing about it (a lot of them have a really sensitive sense of smell and just can’t stand candles anymore). Surprisingly, when no one else can verify it, Ultimate is very thoughtful about the candles and will leave him new unused ones (he can tolerate the smells and knows that they bug the others; it’s not be nice or anything…).
Movie: once admitted that he went to ‘a school for gifted children’ in upstate New York, and everyone assumed he meant Xavier’s school; some people were nicer about that others. It actually was just a regular school, but having been told about the X-men, he’s not in a hurry to correct anyone.
Work Experience:
TAS: is just a graduate student, but has taught an elective class or two; he has yet to TA for any of his professors. Had gotten job offers from Oscorp for after school, though. Not that he can still apply since his accident… Does hunting vampires across Europe with Blade count?
Ultimate: was immediately head hunted directly from college by Hydra, and has never worked anywhere else (not sure if he can work anywhere else; either because of the reference or because of disapproval from his father). Working with Octavius was supposed to be a stepping stone/ big break towards moving higher up, if he hadn’t bungled it.
616: has always been in medical research, who funded it has changed over the years, though: was self employed, was hired by the west coast Avengers, then the Fantastic Four, worked at st.Jude’s hospital for a bit, was part of Shield medical division for a bit, then was at Horizon Labs under a pseudonym, was used in research by Beyond corporation, and is currently self employed, again…
Blood ties: other that his own research, he’s never really had a job, does he qualify as a personal investigator for helping Amanda track down her parents?
Midnight Son: mostly independent research, that’s about it.
Movie: works at Horizon labs In medical research, but not anymore of course.
What else would you ask them?
You know what, I want to eventually introduce y’all to my dnd characters, because they are my personal blorbos and the only people who know about them, well, already know about them. Which makes it kind of hard to just share things about them…
Of course I’m not gonna dump all my babies on y’all in one post. Where would be the fun in that?
Today I just want to introduce you to my son, Anthony. I mean son quite literally, because he is the child of my player character before him in this campaign. Her name was Cheryl, and she was a housewife from the 70s who got isekaied to a magical fantasy land and conscripted to represent the god of druids in a prophecy. She was wildfire Druid w/ a bat familiar the size of a shih tzu, enough said.
Alas, if I’m talking about her son, then you can guess that poor Cheryl did not make it.
From his perspective, at 2 years old, his mother died in house fire one morning while cooking breakfast for him and his big sister, Sheri. He and his sister survived, of course, and he was later sent to live with his mother’s family in Montana when the Arizona State courts ruled his father unfit to care for both children.
He didn’t figure out what actually happened to his mother until he was in his 30s and the same thing happened to him!
Anthony worked as a stuntman and creature actor in Hollywood for most of his adult life. They were all small parts until he got offered a role in a weird vampire/superhero sequel in the late 90s/early 2000s. Sometime in the late spring/early summer of 2001, during filming in Europe, he got isekaied on set when a stage light fell on him.
When he was summoned he was in full costume and wearing SFX makeup. So the magic, which made things like another PC’s foam Larp armor into genuine metal plate, interpreted his makeup as his default race…
Thus making him a Living Dhampire!
This had fun consequences for Anthony, such as: the party trying to kill him the first they met him, Fantastic racism from the locals, and re-learning how to close his mouth.
Just like his mother, Anthony became a Druid and took up the party’s quest. He was a Primordial Druid, though, and where his mother specialized in fire magic, he specialized in wind/weather spells.
He also had a bat companion, but she was about golden retriever sized and had a knack for biting things instead of setting them on fire. Her name is Cama, and she recently grew big enough to ride.
There is a lot I could go on to tell y’all about Anthony, but that would take too long, so here’s a lightning round of fast facts:
He has his mother’s freckles, even in Dhampir form
He’s terrified of chickens and large fires
He ate a devil fruit, it was a Lizu-lizu no mi: chameleon model
Some visual inspirations for him include: Pedro pascal, Miguel O’Hara, reaper vampires from blade 2 and 90s cartoon Morbius
His favorite superhero is the human torch
He calls the spell ‘flame shield’ ‘mother’s love’ in dedication to his mother
He still carries his first piece of fan mail on him, it was from his sister
And He briefly contracted lycanthropy.
I have other player characters that I can talk about , if people want to know, So feel free to ask about them.
And if you have questions about/or for Anthony, or about the campaign he and his mother are from, please ask them too!
He would have all the bats, but also, maybe an audino from martine; and possibly, probably reluctantly (cause it’s funny) a joltik from spidey
would Michael Morbius have a crobat or a golbat if he was in Pokémon world
Nope now it’s at the point that i’m shocked that people off tt don’t know what’s going down. I have no reach but i’ll sum it up anyway.
SCOTUS is hearing on the constitutionality of the ban as tiktok and creators are arguing that it is a violation of our first amendment rights to free speech, freedom of the press and freedom to assemble.
SCOTUS: tiktok bad, big security concern because china bad!
Tiktok lawyers: if china is such a concern why are you singling us out? Why not SHEIN or temu which collect far more information and are less transparent with their users?
SCOTUS (out loud): well you see we don’t like how users are communicating with each other, it’s making them more anti-american and china could disseminate pro china propaganda (get it? They literally said they do not like how we Speak or how we Assemble. Independent journalists reach their audience on tt meaning they have Press they want to suppress)
Tiktok users: this is fucking bullshit i don’t want to lose this community what should we do? We don’t want to go to meta or x because they both lobbied congress to ban tiktok (free market capitalism amirite? Paying off your local congressmen to suppress the competition is totally what the free market is about) but nothing else is like TikTok
A few users: what about xiaohongshu? It’s the Chinese version of tiktok (not quite, douyin is the chinese tiktok but it’s primarily for younger users so xiaohongshu was chosen)
16 hours later:
Tiktok as a community has chosen to collectively migrate TO a chinese owned app that is purely in Chinese out of utter spite and contempt for meta/x and the gov that is backing them.
My fyp is a mix of “i would rather mail memes to my friends than ever return to instagram reels” and “i will xerox my data to xi jinping myself i do not care i share my ss# with 5 other people anyway” and “im just getting ready for my day with my chinese made coffee maker and my Chinese made blowdryer and my chinese made clothing and listening to a podcast on my chinese made phone and get in my car running on chinese manufactured microchips but logging into a chinese social media? Too much for our gov!” etc.
So the government was scared that tiktok was creating a sense of class consciousness and tried to kill it but by doing so they sent us all to xiaohongshu. And now? Oh it’s adorable seeing this gov-manufactured divide be crossed in such a way.
This is adorable and so not what they were expecting. Im sure they were expecting a reluctant return to reels and shorts to fill the void but tiktokers said fuck that, we will forge connections across the world. Who you tell me is my enemy i will make my friend. That’s pretty damn cool.
I want you to remember:
The fascists hate you too and they just will pretend otherwise until after they've killed the rest of us, before they turn on you.
I love him🥰
He’s so angular ✨
And that expression says he’s seen it all and remains unimpressed by it 😂
Reverted back to the Marvel fandom for a while during my family trip
Did some experimental art with Morbius for fun
‘ ‘ … I think it has something to do with spider-man’ the Vulture says, the setting sun turning the fur along the collar of his aviator jacket golden. You stand there, nodding in agreement, but you have to wonder: What is a spider man?
*Gasp*
You jolt awake from a most horrid nightmare: They made a very inaccurate biopic about you, and they cast Jared Leto! You sit up right in your desk chair and contemplate why they made that decision in the mirror in front of you. Overgrown black hair, red eyes, a pale face with slits for nostrils, and that stupid chin-strap that Martine had begged you to shave. Why Leto? If anything they should’ve cast someone like Jack Palance… hmmm, how old would he be now? Oh well, at least it wasn’t Tommy Wiseau
And where did that Milo character come from? He was like an abominable fusion of Nikos and Vic Slaughter… but he was played by Matt Smith, where did your brain get that?
The music on the T.V. next to you swells heroically, “… because bow ties are cool!” It says from on top of the dresser. The blueish glow from it paints the outlines of the motel room you sit within. Normally you wouldn’t choose to fall asleep to a marathon of Dr.Who, but you are not the sole occupant of this room.
Young Amanda Saint rests her head on the pillows of the only bed in the room. You only promised to escort her to Navada to find her father, nothing more nothing less. So you fell asleep at the desk.
You can’t go back to sleep now, though. Not with that nightmare still kicking around in your skull. What you need is a drink…
You hesitate for a second on miss Saint.
Or some fresh air; you did see a dinner across the road from your room. Quite like, you take up the long coat, sun glasses, and straw hat Amanda had given you and dip outside. She’d said it was something about cowboys and going west that made her pick it when you asked.
No one sees you leave the grounds of the motel, or cross the two lane road. The thin soles of your insulation suit’s boots crunch on the gravel parking lot of the diner. You pass an old black Chevy on the way to the entrance. The place is empty at this time of night. There is no hostess, so you sit at the bar.
You wait for someone to take your order. One black coffee.
The dream is still on your mind.
“We need to talk about the girl, Michael” a deep, gravelly, monotone voice says from the previously empty stool beside you. You try not to seem surprised, “What is there to talk about?” You reply.
“The Winchesters say you’ve kidnapped a teenage girl, Michael, and you’re moving her across state lines.” Says the frumpled looking man in a tan trench coat sitting beside you. “I have kidnapped no one,” you say through clenched fangs, “I am simply escorting her to her father.”.
“That’s not what the sister told us” he begins.“Well her sister is a liar” you spit, “She tried to sacrifice Amanda and I to a giant Spider!”. The man looks stunned. Then puzzled.
“Regardless, the Winchesters are coming for you Michael Morbius.” He repeats as he regains his deadpan. How does he know your name? “Who are you?” You growl, seconds from bolting for the door. This feels like a distraction.
“I am the angel Castiel, and I am on your side” He says as he standings to go, “Please… be not afraid.”.
And the man vanishes.’
[A scene from Morbius 2: Supernatural Tales of Suspense
Coming this Fall]
i fell asleep to eddy burback reviewing morbius and i dreamed morbius 2 was out and eddy burback watched it 5 days in a row and that castiel supernatural was a character in it and part of sonys whole mcu jr thing was connecting the sony mcu to the supernatural universe and i remember saying to my discord server/groupchat "i kinda wanna see all the castiel scenes in morbius 2 but i think that would just be very disappointing and a waste of time" and i started complaining about the quality of all marvel movies, sony or not, and before i could send the message i woke up really scared and i only just realized it all wasnt real like 30 seconds before i started typing. if i recall cas and morbius were like... allies. i remember a scene of castiel and morbius in a coffee shop. and he was sort of a background character ? and i think there was something about morbius helping cas recover his grace ? i dont know. but he was in it. and he was in it enough for scene compilations of him. and i remember myself on youtube and my resolve was crumbling as i looked at "castiel morbius 2 all scenes" it was like 5 minutes long
and i essentially copied all of this from the exact same rant i sent to my discord server about my dream
