you might ask:
"Oh, what happened to your vampire OC? Is he still alive?"
and I'm very sorry to inform you all, but -wipes tears- .....he's dead
.....
....
.....
get it?
cuz he's a vampire
I mean, he's been dead for a few centuries now.
other dumb puns you'll definitely hear me use to describe his wonderful personality
- he's DEAD on the inside
- wow, he sure is the LIFE of the party (sarcasm lol)
...you've been warned c:
I actually wanted to make an overview of this character. I know people won't really read this but it's useful for myself my little brain made too many characters, too much to remember
I always felt kinda guilty about refering to him as "scorp boii" (even though I love that nickname for him). at first I wasn't sure if I wanted to name him Sebastian...maybe because I know someone irl who's named Sebastian...and also a scorp. I kept thinking "what if people think I named him after my friend" ahahahah
Actually I didn't...I got inspired by this song from the 70s...which is kinda dramatic and extra, kinda has goth vibes :3
I mean look at the singer
Sebastian (yes, he's now officially got a name lol)
eye colour: dark blue
hair colour: either dark raven or black
personality traits: bitter, caring, devoted, gloomy, loner, perfectionist, pessimistic, (a bit) romantic, sarcastic, sense of justice (will always do the right thing, I dunno the right word),
birthday: October 29th, 1772
zodiac sign: scorpio
other info: looks quite handsome and has the looks of a 25 year old, but don't be deceived he's actually the grumpy old man of the group that complains about anything
likes: complaining (lol), an aesthetically pleasing interior, being well dressed (literally always, even when he's wearing his pj's), wine (but not in an addict kinda way lol), night time
colours: red, mauve, grey, black, blue (especially dark blue), gold
dislikes: mess, talking about emotions, people breaking into his property/trespassing, these "youngsters" always trying to hang out w him ugh, getting sunburnt, random pigeons trying to befriend him (they're probably here to b-bite mee ;;)
quotes (that remind me of him) :
- how to rise from the floor, when it's not you I'm rising for
- I have loved you for a thousand years, darling. and I'll love you for a thousand more
- look at your life. look at your choices (when complaining to his friends)
I really love trying to make my characters on picrew. It sometimes really helps me figuring out some parts of a characters design I'm not sure about/don't know how to draw (especially expressions and hair). plus some have really nice outfits and styles
over the past months I tried to make scorp b- Sebastian in several ones (see I do care about my character sometimes)
(eyes are too light, but overal good)
(this one didn't have braids ;w; but I figured his loose hair would be kind of wavy (if he wears in it a braid most of the time). I love how this turned out, love this style. again eyes too light, but that's ok :3
I also love how he looks slightly miserable, since he's rather gloomy heh)
more things that remind me of him
how I imagined the area near his castle where he and his partner went for walks (he lives in a more isolated area/not near busy place/ more surrounded by nature :3 )
his castle may look gloomy and dark on the outside, but is actually has a nice interior and rather cosy design inside (is this a metaphor for the stereotypical cold scorp who are actually big softies on the inside hehe)
excuse you?
I just happen to look miserable 24/7 uwu
lil fun facts
- one of his fears is...ducks (and maybe other birds, too). his fear is not as bad as it used to be, because he and his partner used to go to the nearby lake/park. it was probably his partner's idea. just imagine this goth man being gently dragged to a pound by his bf
"oH nOoO, tHeY'rE GOnNa BItEE mEee"
meanwhile the duckies are being innocent:
and his bf be like:
he secretly thinks it's cute, but we all know how scorps react when you call them cute
"no I'm tough/evil/such a badassssssssss è//////é "
(in the modern day setting he's probably scared by pigeons whenever going outside lol)
- his castle is inspired slightly inspired by the castle from Beauty and the Beast (including some of the inside) but with darker colours :3
- this character was made after I made a random joke about "scorpio sipping wine" and visited Gent (known for its goth monuments in the city centre and actual castle) last summer
I'm not gonna list everything I listed in my other blog post, so have a small overview:
bitter gay - sassy 'n sarcastic - emo & goth vampire lord/count of a castle - stereotypical scorp heh
I said this in the other post, but I find it VERY important to emphasize uwu
"did I make this character just to prove scorpios are the most caring people hiding behind a tough exterior and black clothes
yes, definitely"
the following contain spoilers
(not that anyone will ever read my stories lol)
About the sad background story/the storyline of him and lover
this story is probably inspired by the story of Dracula and his wife in Hotel Transylvania. In case you are uncultered and haven't watched/don't remember the Hotel Transylvania films, a quick recap:
"Dracula accidentally met another vampire, who'd later become his wife. They instantly felt something for each other and soon became inseparable. They began to date, and soon became married. A group of angry humans stormed Dracula's home, intending to kill him and his family for being vampires. The humans set fire to Dracula's home and killed his wife. Fortunately, Dracula was able to escape the place with his daughter.
- accidenally got noticed by a mortal
- they keep encountering one another, to the point where the mortal (he doesn't have a name yet ;; ) wants/tries to find out where Sebastian lives. and he actually succeeds. he finds out about him being a vampire etc
- all this time, Sebastian tried really hard to avoid him..not because he doesn't recipocrate the guy's feelings (he definitely does 👀)
- but because in the vampire community there is still prejudice and they believe vampires and mortals can't be together (which has to do with immortality, something mortals aren't etc but I need to work on the details)
- Sebastian avoided him at first because he believed it would be better/safer for him not to be with a vampire (again, because of prejudice)
- (wait a sec, someone obsessed w a vampire but the vampire wants to protect the- SHIT my mind unconsciously copied the storyline of Twilight help )
- they keep falling for one another (uh oh, a scorpio catching feelings hehe)
- this is probably where the cheesy part starts: Sebastian tries to keep his distance and tell him it's safer for him not to be near him and other vampires. but this guy says he doesn't care
- also interesting to note that he was pretty lonely and slightly unhappy before he met this guy so he really had to adjust to the idea of someone loving him etc
- the classic "we can face this together"
- long story short he can finally convince Sebastian things can work out, they actually get together, (haven't decided on these details but) they probably got married etc most of the traditional stuff
- his partner was actually devoted, even that devoted that he turned for love (again, I need to work out the details) ah, to be young and in love with a vampire, love makes u do crazy things
- they're a happy couple now
THIS WAS PROBABLY THE WORST PART ABOUT THE STORY I MADE BUT WELLLL I still feel bad about it ;;
his partner was an actual cinnamon roll and sweet person sooo ;; eu plâng mult
- (I keep saying this, but I haven't worked out the details yet but) at some point his bf gets sick. not sick as in a cold. as in ill. terminally ill....
- Sebastian was actually devastated when he found out. he's quite rich (not to brag uwu) but no money, no medicine, none of his vampire powers (or whatever u wanna call it) could change the situation
- he felt incredibly helpless, he just watched how his bf got weaker and couldn't do anything about it (in case u wonder why he's a troubled soul ;-; )
- all he could do was stay by his side and take care of him. and spend every moment possible by his side
- not too long before he died: his partner made Sebastian promise something; to always take care/look after himself and the castle. Which may seem random, but there's a deeper meaning behind it (cuz I'm smart and everything like that uwu)
He knew Sebastian would very likely slip into depression (I'm not 100% sure it's depression, might be mild depression. sadness, grief, etc are also accurate descriptions. probably those 3 intertwined). Some say the best way to handle grief is by continuing to live your life and do the things you normally do (I'm not a psychologist so sorry if it's not 100% correct)
to this day, Sebastian continues to keep his promise. He's actually not as cold as a appears on the outside, considering how a big part of his life and how he lives it is one big dedication/tribute to his husband despite him not being here anymore. And he also does it cuz he's kinda vain, cares about his appearance and is probably a perfectionist.....but that sounds less romantic, sooo
uhh,
idk how to end this blog post soooo
...
more aesthetic pics?
