also thinking more about changes and i'm excited for when he finally does have the blood for the first time because a bunch of the mental changes will be unlocked
remove that and things swing in the other direction because he is ultimately an impulsive person who is about to be introduced to a powerfully tempting substance that makes you feel alive
i need to figure out what other sort of changes happen this month beyond the mental ones but i am kind of liking the slow burn (ha ha) of this because he remembers how they were like "this will work this time!!" but he's dying lmao
he's going to realise when he finally gets some blood that he isn't dying as much as he was before that which is why he is going to be an irresponsible blood drinker until he figures out that has diminishing returns
it's also great how he is like no i'm not going on any expeditions you people can go do expeditions and trip balls in the woods and shit everyone will pay attention to that and not pay attention to what i'm doing right here
my headcanon is that they probably looked into this stuff (blood magic, necromancy, etc) being valyrian history nerds and were disappointed to find most of what remains is largely bullshit lmao
Absolutely, I headcanon that Aemond got especially into All Things Valyrian - Including Magic because he didn't get a dragon egg or grow up with a dragon, so it was a way to feel like he belonged
i had not set in stone exactly how his first vampire bite situation goes because i'm indecisive and also wanted to see what my cr was doing this month lmao
so now i'm wondering if it shouldn't be the result of this (and therefore likely to be unplanned on his part/violent lmao) because the restless/everything is terrible feeling will be happening leading up to when i was planning for that to happen timing-wise
quietly schemes on the DL
>feels the existential terror setting in again THIS IS FINE
>
lol no spoilers pleasehe has been remarkably restrained about not giving in because he had a very particular reason to be stubborn about it
no i'm not going on any expeditionsyou people can go do expeditions and trip balls in the woods and shit everyone will pay attention to that and not pay attention to what i'm doing right here
