it's like 4am where I am, so don't mind this long stream of thoughts and questions I had whilst replaying the demo (my 15 hour playtime is pathetic, I needed more)
I had a sudden thought about Kuras and his dislike-slash-animosity towards the Senobium.
It's mostly to do with the lore snippet of him being a divine teacher and the detailed bio mentioning him being compelled by guilt. Does he regret giving that much knowledge to man, particularly the ones who now study in the Senobium?
It's not out of concern, dare I say, him being empathetic, but rather... does he see a few of the things he shared as stains in his memory? A misstep. An unwise choice that he thought could be another chance for him to prove, to redeem himself, and atone for his sins. Kuras sharing that could have been the key.
...but it wasn't. It was just another tragedy in the long run.
In the end, it only fed into humans and their natural curiosity. It's something Kuras should have known, he thinks. How much more curious can mages and alchemist be? He should have seen this coming. Especially considering how some would do anything in pursuit of knowledge.
That also ties into Mhin, in many ways. Kuras worries for them, that's obvious. They aren’t too far gone, since in Kuras’ eyes, they haven’t gone into or have even been given the chance to enter the Senobium. But their desperation to get in may have hurt them. And they wound up hurt, badly. To the point Kuras saved their life back then— that being said, hindsight is 20/20 and he understands human nature and he knows Mhin will not stop at anything, because they merely think the Senobium has the answers they need.
Does Kuras blame himself for that in some roundabout way? For feeding the curiosity of those who asked, but was none the wiser to notice those who go beyond and seek what should have been kept in the shrouded in the dark?
Also did you guys know this piece of trivia? lmao
GIVE THAT WISE MAN HIS SKIRT DAMN
This seems like a rel scenario. Well written !
Mhin and Kuras are the sweetest, as always. While the other three just fuck around hahaha
Thank you !
Headcanons for a Touchstarved MC who is poly and seems open to all of them:
Ais is not the jealous type—he thrives in situations where he has to fight for someone’s attention. In fact, the idea that you’re open to all of them makes this so much more fun for him.
At first, he smirks. Of course, you’re interested in everyone. You’ve got good taste. Deep down, he’s amused but also watching closely. Are you seriously considering all of them, or are you just entertaining the idea?
He gets bolder—leans in more, throws out suggestive comments just to gauge your reaction. If you flirt back? Oh, it’s on. Casually sizing up the others, he makes just enough provocative remarks to stir the pot. Guess I’ll have to work harder to keep your attention, huh? He treats it like a game—one he plans on winning.
Leander loves connection, and he’s open-minded, but… let’s be honest—he’s used to being the person someone wants. The idea that he’s one of many? That’s new.
At first, he laughs, wide and genuine. All of us? Really? He finds it endearing. He brushes it off like it doesn’t bother him, but deep down? There’s a tiny spark of possessiveness. He wants to be special to you.
He doubles down on the charm. Extra flirty, extra affectionate—pulls you close and whispers, But I’m your favorite, right? Surprisingly accommodating, if you really want all of them, he’ll go along with it. He just needs to make sure he’s still your first choice. He teases Ais and the others just to stir up tension.
Vere lives to be desired. But shared? That’s an entirely different matter.
At first, he gives a slow, sharp smile. How greedy of you. He doesn’t mind the idea—but he does mind not being the one who has the most of your attention.
Immediately, he starts testing you. If you flirt with someone else, he’ll slide up beside you and whisper something dangerous enough to make your pulse jump. He loves watching the others react—if they get possessive, he eats it up. If they don’t care, he’ll make them care. He acts nonchalant, but there’s a sharpness in his gaze. If he ever feels like he’s just one of many without something special between you, he’ll pull back.
Mhin already struggles with trust and attachment—this only makes it worse.
At first, they scoff and roll their eyes. Figures. Their mind jumps straight to the worst conclusions. Do you actually care about any of them? Or is this just a game to you?
Immediately, they pull away. If they were starting to open up to you, this would make them slam their walls back up. But if they believe you genuinely care about all of them, that you’re not just playing with their feelings, then it terrifies them how much they want to trust you. They’ll be the last to accept it—but once they do, they won’t fight for your attention. They’ll just… wait. If you want them, you’ll have to come to them.
Kuras is the least affected by the revelation. If anything, he finds it intriguing.
At first, he gives a calm, thoughtful look. Is that so? No judgment, just observation. He has seen many kinds of relationships before. This does not surprise him. But why do you want this? That’s the question he’s interested in.
He doesn’t react outwardly, but there’s a softness in his gaze when he looks at you. He won’t compete for your affection, but he will make it known that if you truly want him, he is here. He is patient. Watching how the others handle it with mild amusement, he seems as if he’s observing something inevitable.
Would they all be okay with it? Maybe. Maybe not. But one thing is for sure: the tension would be unreal.
Biblically accurate machine
i tried to do my own gabv1el fusion,,, maybe i will change it in the future,,
obviously this smell is ais ("cloaked in the scent of smoke and blood") which many people have already noticed
but do you guys think. ais was there when mc was there. do you think ais already saw mc's hands. that's why he didn't actually care to see them later at the seaspring but brought them up anyway as a means to intimidate mc?? because he already knows??
It's the last day of April
born to be a highly desirable vampire that every immortal is pining for in a fucked up gothic romance but forced to watch & read about it instead
