Got this message from: 

amadeo-child-of-the-renaissance, claudiaindarkness, @everlastingporcelain, which are some damn fine RPers themselves <3<3<3

Could you give me a little help? I can never remember the difference between the VC characters Santiago and Santino. Are they even different characters or are they the same and I just imagined one of them? Sorry for asking but I don’t have time to skim the books and thought you would know :)

I used to get them mixed up early on, too. They’re VERY different. And yet similar. (also I don’t think they’re ever in the same place together in the series, which is neither here nor there, but whatever) This is Santiago, we meet him in IWTV:

Santiago is a BAMF, and he’s Armand’s right-hand man at the Theatre des Vampires, also an actor there, usually plays the narrator or character of “Death” in their gruesome stage performances. Santiago does NOT like Louis from the moment they meet. Santiago can sense weakness in Louis, and Santiago is also suspicious of Claudia just for her existence; it’s against the rules to make child vampires. Santiago is not gonna let that slide. 

Santino is a BAMF, too. We meet him in TVL, he trains Armand to become the coven master of the Children of Darkness, eventually helming the Scranton Paris branch in the cemetery of Les Innocents. More on him in TVA and B&G, which I have not memorized yet. Santino is the leader of a coven of Satanic vampires, the members of which hold a common belief that they are meant to be the scourge of humankind. I can’t say more without spoiling you, so go to Wiki for more.


You can also ask a Santino RPer! vampirexsantino would probably answer more. He’s the only active Santino I know of rn, and I don’t know any active Santiagos. vampiresantiago is inactive, but you might like perusing their archive.

College AUs are cool, but you know what we’re missing? Art major AUs:

  • “I cut myself really badly in Printmaking and I’m trying not to bleed everywhere, turns out you carry a bunch of first aid supplies in your bag” AU
  • “I let you have a few sheets of darkroom photo paper, to pay me back you offered to model privately for my Studio Photography assignment” AU
  • “I’m a traditional painter who has to take a basic Photoshop class, you’re a graphic design major sitting next to me and getting sucked into helping me out because I’m so terrible at this” AU
  • “My pottery bowl exploded in the kiln and I feel like a failure, you found me crying about it in the hallway” AU
  • “Our Figure Drawing teacher is an asshole, you stuck up for me when he started railing on my portraits” AU
  • “You saw me struggling to carry a giant cardboard sculpture for my installation and helped me get it to class” AU
  • “I’m zoning out working on this painting and you just stopped me from drinking out of my dirty water cup” AU
  • “A mutual friend of ours has this whole vision for their Black and White Photography final and we volunteered to be their models without knowing how sexual this shoot would turn out” AU
