i left tumblr for a while and yikes did it change. i think i’m using the new beta editor, put that thing away from me or so help me

no god modding without my permission

make sure to cut your threads to avoid cluttering!

you are very welcome to invade my inbox with random asks to start something ♥

if i send you a meme / ask, before you answer, please make a new post and tag me in it, that way i can easily reblog it! (this only counts for ic stuff tho)

my activity is very sporadic, i only write when i’m in the mood so i might take some days until i get back to our thread

i’m selective with who i interact with and who i follow, please don’t take it personally! creating a safe space is important to me :)

i write short and long paragraphs, sometimes one-liners are fine too, because they can build up to more!

i love pre-established relationships between characters! makes it so much easier to interact with each other and it skips the awkward first meetings (which can be cool as long as they’re plotted beforehand!)

shipping is a-okay! i’m here for any type of ship honestly. friendship, love, hate, siblings, family, give them to me! as long as it feels natural and there’s chemistry, hit me up. however, if it feels forced i will drop it immediately!

i’m not here for drama, this is supposed to be a safe place to have fun and be creative. anything that kills the vibe will be blocked with no warning

i won’t interact with minors or anyone who doesn’t state their age somewhere

i don’t have any triggers but i will still try to tag posts. if there’s something that triggers you, which i didn’t tag properly, let me know!

i don’t write smut, not a fan of nsfw either. however, i do make suggestive jokes here and there, and i don't mind writing suggestive stuff as long as it doesn't go off the rails

this blog will contain mature and dark themes such as violence, mention of torture and abuse, mental health, blood, toxic relationships, mention of death, horror, guts and gore, etc. just a heads up!

lastly, make sure to read my pages and headcanons for more information! you can also always ask me if something is unclear or you just want to chat :)

after drinking roselyn's blood, cain turned from a vampire spawn into a 'true' vampire, which made him more powerful, allowing him to withstand the sun and to roam around humans without losing himself in bloodthirst. he is not fully immune to the sun, however, he can remain outside for a while instead of searing and burning in the sunlight right away. because of this, he always carries suncream with him.

he decided to set fire to roselyn's mansion after she passed away. he wanted to erase everything, sadly she still finds ways to haunt him, even if only as a voice in his head. that's also why he is scared of closing his eyes or to see her in his dreams.

while cain has only bad memories of roselyn, he can't deny the feelings he had for her. it's twisted but he really cared for her, she was his home. when she died, he wanted some sort of memento, something physical, something that proved she once existed. he decided to keep her heart-shaped locket and filled it with her ashes. he's wearing it every day.

fun fact: roselyn received the pendant as a gift from the human she loved

despite the trauma, roses surprisingly don't seem to trigger cain. on the contrary, they seem to soothe and comfort him. when alone, he often finds himself conversing with the flowers, believing that roselyn's spirit is listening.

he can play the violin and often played for roselyn whenever she desired.

cain is almost 300 years old but he doesn't know his actual age. at some point he simply stopped counting the years. he also can't recall his life as a human nor much of himself during his time with roselyn. it's all a blur, like his mind doesn't want him to remember.

it took him a while to readjust after being released from centuries of hell. at first he was an empty canvas, stripped off of any true sense of self. then, piece by piece, he gathered the broken parts and managed to find himself. cain promised himself that he would never allow anyone to have power over him again.

roselyn would often put cain in a cage or lock him up in the basement, for no particular reason other than the fact that she simply felt like it. this resulted in cain developing an intense fear of small enclosed spaces, and even though he can see in the dark, he is not fond of dark rooms either, he especially avoids basements.

for a long time, cain hid his vampiric canines from humans, fearing the possible consequences if his true identity ever came to light. however, modern times turned his little problem into a new cosmetic trend among humans. he no longer feels the need to hide his teeth. even if others comment on it, at least now he'll have a believable excuse. the same goes for his unnatural red eyes and pointy ears, he blames his genes.

while under roselyn's control he was more or less imprisoned. she did allow him to go outside during the night but only if she needed him to kidnap humans, otherwise he remained inside her mansion, and for the most part, lived an isolated life. he didn't know what had happened around the world until his master passed away. afterwards, he read book after book to catch up on any major event.

after being free, he became a crime boss. he realized that being powerful made him feel safe, and he'd rather be at the top ordering others around, than be the one following orders. his crime syndicate owns a casino called "sanguine rose". with that said, the casino is not necessarily bound to a specific country and can be placed wherever to make interactions easier!

he has a right hand man who's quite patient with his shenanigans and ridiculous demands, he is also one of the few people cain actually trusts. if it weren't for cain he'd most likely live a rather miserable life. on one hand, he sticks around because he is thankful, on the other, he is quite curious to see what unhinged chaos cain will unleash, even if it means cleaning up the mess and setting things right for the business. together the two make a rather comedic duo.

cain developed a habit of calling others "darling" or "chérie" no matter their gender, it seems not even his subordinates are safe.

his tattoo is dedicated to roselyn and a play on her full name, roselyn means "beautiful rose" while her last name "delacroix" means "of the cross"

as mentioned somewhere above, roses don't trigger him. however, certain things do, causing him to have flashbacks of his abuse or roselyn. for example, being touched without warning really seems to throw him off and intimate situations make him spiral, even if he pretends to enjoy it, after all he is a master at hiding his discomfort. if he gets triggered, nobody will know, and that's good.

fun fact: you probably already noticed but i still want to throw it out here, cain and abel were inspired by the biblical story of two brothers with the same names. cain was jealous of his brother abel and murdered him. i only went with the name cain because i thought it suited him, later i choose abel's name to make a little play on the story
