seasoned transformers fans waiting to explain 40 years worth of lore to a tf1 new fan who asks the name of a random bot standing in a crowd scene
It honestly always baffled me why VTMB just INSISTS the player to be an edgelord, sometimes to the point of cringe (even with taking in account having a Beast inside you), but even when you're playing a high-humanity vampire you're almost forced to be unnecessary rude to people like Gary or Imalia right away, even if you don't want to, and then I realized something.
We're playing as a young person in their twenties in 2004. It's a millennial.
I fucking hate hanging out with Tzimisce because some of them will be so fucking sexy and then they'll bring this guy into the room like "This is my Grandsire Joe Yogurt".

An observation
You can't tell me they aren't the same people
Also wanted to add something a month later
I honestly enjoy the Fledgeling as a character, truly. They have very limited background options, and even less of a personality – mostly because they have yours – but what little they have is a lot of fun to watch. They seem to be pretty chill, having a sense of humor (pretty sick, mostly), sometimes even empathy, depending on their humanity level, but, eh, sometimes the game is kind of forcing you to be edgy or react super chill and cool in the situations, where most freshly Embraced people would be screaming and shitting their pants.

Imagine this whole post in the TikTok text to speech voice.
When I was 12 I wrote and almost finished in one of my notebooks a vampire comedy novel about this girl I projected onto, who was a poor peasant from a village at the foot of the Carpathians, and she got so tired of her life that she decided to take advantage of the local legend about a vampire sleeping hundreds of years in the castle somewhere in the mountains (meaning, to rob it and become rich), but then she accidentally woke him up, and, in order to not be eaten, she somehow became his servant. The vampire was at first very confused why he was put asleep for so long in the first place, but then quickly remembered than he was pursuing his goal – to become a daylight vampire and that he almost succeeded, but was betrayed by his previous servant-lover, who put him into tomb, thinking he was dead. Now this girl had to figure out how to escape from the castle (while taking with her as much money and goods as she could), and the vampire had to continue his ambition, planning to use her in some kind of ritual, I don't remember. At the end I wanted them to kiss and decide that «fuck it, it's not that complicated» and start travelling the world – or, alternatively, they would all die in a horrific soul-wrenching tragedy, because 12 year old fanfic writers are dramatic.
That notebook I wrote this into was left at my mother's house and likely was completely destroyed or thrown away, but I still remember the plot... I think. I don't know if I should write and publish it online though.
