Insofar as blood resonances are concerned, Phlegmatic is, in my ever-so-humble opinion, such a nuanced flavour that I could wax lyrical for hours on it. Suffice it to say, it can help fuel Auspex and Dominate powers, and has a fuller flavour than others.28 Sep 2026 01:17 +0000at://did:plc:rzqe73behslrweae563m2ugp/app.bsky.feed.post/3mwk5eag3dc2rhttps://bsky.app/profile/nephthysnile.bsky.social/post/3mwf3cjoxoc2nTell me I’m not the only one who lays out their outfits for a trip (especially when it involves cosplay) well ahead of schedule to make sure I have everything for each outfit?

It is sad that too much knowledge is bad for the brain, but I’ve always found that those who pursue intellectual endeavours, though prone to bouts of melancholy, taste that best.21 Sep 2026 02:01 +0000at://did:plc:rzqe73behslrweae563m2ugp/app.bsky.feed.post/3mvymlan46c2rhttps://bsky.app/profile/nephthysnile.bsky.social/post/3mvhyidiwd22oWanna play Vampires?

Kindred can be emotional creatures. The Beast likes it when we indulge in our more extreme of feelings, but sometimes we seek out blood that pushes that even a little further. That’s where blood with a Choleric resonance comes into the picture.14 Sep 2026 04:02 +0000at://did:plc:rzqe73behslrweae563m2ugp/app.bsky.feed.post/3mvha2ct2wk2vhttps://bsky.app/profile/nephthysnile.bsky.social/post/3mv7ftqhcw22gIt’s X-Files Day!
