THE LITTLE VAMPIRE 3D

You have no idea how pleased I am that this is a thing, I swear on my life.



The Little Vampire by teasertrailer

You're welcome! :D Also it looks like they followed the 2000 character designs and a good chunk of the plot (though I can attest that it has carried over from the books).

Your GPAB for the day



I know, I link to a lot of tumblr posts, but there's some very good stuff over there.

Also, apologies for the delay.

Sympathizer

I felt like this project of mine needed a post of its own, so here it is!

Sympathizer: Stone of Attamon - A slightly AU retelling of The Little Vampire, where actions have the expected consequences, based on my own extended pondering of the why's of the film. Set in a more realistic version of the TLV universe, Tony is a little boy just relocated to Scotland who's just started experiencing dreams and visions of vampires. Unable to control the urge to talk about them, he makes a fool of himself in front of his peers, who all think he's nuts. Then Tony meets child vampire Rudolph Sackville-Bagg and becomes seriously invested in the cause of him and his family, their desire to become human.

Sympathizer 2 - In Progress, and I have a policy of not posting chapters of fics until the work itself is complete. Sequel to Stone of Attamon and The Little Vampire, continuing right from the end of the ceremony at the end of the film and again exploring the consequences of some of the actions of the characters in The Little Vampire. This is also an exploration of my pet theory that Von is alive, and what it means for the greater McAshtonland community and especially Tony and the Sackville-Bagg clan.

Elements to be incorporated as time goes on:

  • Dracula (as a young man, perhaps 18 or 19)
  • Bailey, Rookery's niece and apprentice vampire hunter, on whom Gregory develops a serious crush (she is, in fact, an OC)
  • Possible discussion of the origins of vampires in demons and/or magic
P.S. sorry for waiting such a long time to finish this. I've been really busy lately with life.

Happy Halloween!!!


Happy Halloween from Gregory Sackville-Bagg (or at least, me trying to be him). More selfies to come!!!

Thursday, October 30, 2014

On this, the eve of Halloween...

I want everyone to know I am still alive, or undead, as the case may be, and I want to wish everyone a happy Halloween even if it is a bit early. I'm also sorry that I've been lapsing on my Discrepancies and Curiosities series, as well as posting Little Vampire material in general. I have plans to watch the old series when I have some free time, and I'll post links to those playlists (over on YouTube) should any of you care to join me. Tomorrow I'll also post a selfie of me in costume as (off color and femme) Gregory, also showing off my snazzy new haircut in funky style and all that makeup needed to make me look like one of the undead! I know it's been a while since my first and last video, so perhaps I'll do one of those, too.

Basically, I really need to get back in the swing of this blog, and since I'll be watching TLV as part of my elaborate Samhain/Halloween celebrations, perhaps I'll be inspired. I'm starting to think about my sequel to Sympathizer: Stone of Attamon (which deserves its own post, honestly, so I won't link it here) so work on that might actually finally get done! :) But I wanted to write a post today to keep all of you lovely little fangfaces posted. Have fun tonight, tomorrow night, and every night and every day forever! I love all of you!

Discrepancies and Curiosities - Part 10

Scene 10 - Another Amulet
  1. The script has Rookery describe how his ancestors had to persuade the magician to make another amulet for them to send the vampires to hell. This brings to mind the following:
    1. Was the magician a sympathizer who knew a way to make the vampires human again and set out to do it for their sake?
    2. Were the vampires cursed magically? It's possible in a universe where it's clear magic exists and people can use it, but was that really how that happened, or is it just that the vampires view their situation like a curse (a la, so beautiful it's a curse)?
      1. If the latter, is there a progenitor, and, if so, who? Is it Dracula? Judas? In the series, Dracula is acknowledged as the ruler of all the world's vampires (and I understand he's kind of a goof), but does that mean he's the first one or just the one in charge for whatever reason (powers, age, the old one died, etc.)?
  2. "It's my graveyard. It's my job. I'll do it. What am I doing?" is shortened by dropping the "What am I doing?" part, but on paper it's hilarious.
  3. Rudolph is the only vampire to awaken when his brother Gregory is attacking the caretaker, followed by the other members of the family, not the all-in-one deal presented in the script.
  4. The fight between Frederick and Gregory is longer in the script. For example, Frederick does not immediately jump into asking if Gregory thinks he's oblivious; instead, there is an effort by Gregory to get the other family members on his side of the argument. When he gets called on his crap that's when Frederick asks if Gregory thinks he's oblivious, and the argument continues from there.
    1. Funnily enough I wonder how it would've resolved itself if Rookery hadn't intervened. I'm not sure if it's a common occurrence for Gregory to pick fights or if he was banned from running from his problems as the timeline got shorter.
  5. Rookery in the final cut thanks the caretaker for his "public spirit" before his light gets shattered. In the script it's afterward (and quite frankly doesn't leave much room for anger).

Important!!!

You Need to know of this, it's as plain and simple as that. And so, it is my solemn duty to inform you.

After our blood, freezes the flood 
All through the night and gifted with sight - 
to see in the dark 
They can see in the dark 
You know they can fly, can fly oh so high 
Live under the earth and gifted from birth 
They can see in the dark 
They can see in the dark 
Vampires, vampires 
They can see in the dark 
They can see in the dark 
All through the night and gifted with sight 
Vampires
After our blood, freezes the flood 
With dangers at hand cry out through the land 
They can see in the dark (background: vampires can) 
They can see in the dark (background: vampires can) 
Vampires, vampires 
They can see in the dark 
They can see in the dark 
With dangers at hand cry out through the land 
Vampires, vampires
You know they can fly 
Can fly oh so high 
If you see one tonight 
Don’t put up a fight 
Make peace while you can 
Make a friend if you dare 
A friend who can fly 
Can fly oh so high 
And see in the dark 
And live under the earth 
Make a friend if you can 
Of vampires
Vampires, vampires, vampires… 
Vampires can 
They can see in the dark


And also, as I was perusing through videos trying to find the right one, it has been brought to my attention that the band Darkroom is a real thing, rather than something made up for the purposes of DKV85. I'm suffering a nerd crisis as I feel I've committed a serious lapse in being a nerd of all things TLV/DKV. So excuse me while I go correct this.

Culross Palace

As I don't believe I've posted these before, despite being promised in TLV Abridged scene 19. So here they are at long last! Exterior and interior shots of Culross Palace (I found these online somewhere. I've never been lucky enough to be on sight).
