your days are numbered and i cant fucking count
So, like any idiot who likes vampire manga/anime/any media, I watched/read The Case Study of Vanitas but that wasn't enough so I watched/read Seraph of the End and it's always itched my brain with how similar they are. Are they both based on some other story or something? Because a lot of the character archetypes are the same and in the same places. First we got Mikaela and Mikhail which I mean the similarities are already there between the names and they both have lighter color palettes, and then they both have a "family" character with a darker color palette (for Mika it's more of a found family thing in the same way as TOH because I mean. Him and Yu are so fucking gay) that goes apeshit. And THEN there's the archetype of ageless god figure who is visibly feminine but also described as a man (and in The Case Study of Vanitas Luna is described as a "he" in the beginning, referred to by Mikhail as "Father," and referred to by Vanitas as a "woman" but uses they/them pronouns) and then they are also widely blamed for the existence of the main problem of the series (malnomens in Vanitas no Carte and demons/horsemen/angels/vampires in Owari no Seraph) I know it's really just a couple archetypes but they feel so similar and if anybody can tell me if they're related somehow (like based on a different story) I would be really thankful
just rewatched The Martian (2015) and that shit was as good as I remember it and since I need to tie everything into my hyperfixations I think Mark Watney and Ryley Robinson have the same/similar personality and Ryley definitely thinks "hey its kinda like that movie" at least once
3/23/25 Update: 1 1/2 pages into the book and yeah. Yeah they totally have the same personality. Unintentionally wrote Ryley like Mark Watney in my fic. It's great.

He is so shaped
so if vampires need to ask permission to enter do they have to ask for verbal permission every time they have sex even if its already been discussed beforehand but not in the context of "can I come inside"

also just realized and dont feel like editing the last one: why the fuck do eridians count in base 6?
like the reason humans count in base 10 is bc we have 10 fingers, but eridians have 5 limbs with three fingers on each. it would make more sense for them to count in base 3, 5, or 15. so why 6?
i got project hail mary yesterday so everybody better be ready for YAPPING!!!!!!!!
Bats! This is a very self indulgent post for me and it’s an excuse to draw bats lol. Close ups and some facts below 👇
So some of these are based on vibes but there are some interesting reasons I chose some of these.
So Cazador is actually based on an extinct species of bat which is basically a massive vampire bat which are about 30% larger than a common vampire bat
Astarion is of course a common vampire bat . I couldn’t find much info on the existence of albino ones but I based him off the few images I could find
To add, Dalyria is from a species that has wings that appear pinkish due to lack of pigment, which is my personal theory for why she has that pink tone in her skin, she’s really pale
Leon being a fruit bad just made sense in my head (Maybe baby bat Victoria is under his wings lol)
Petras being a Pallid bat made sense because of course Pallid=Pale=Pale Petras
I love the idea of Aurelia being a little brown bat because I feel like I HC her as having a more diminutive and reserved personality and I feel that goes with little brown bats
Yousen is a species of Microbat which of course are some of the smaller bats in the world
I feel like Violet would be very proud of her long ears
