I… don’t think I’ve ever participated in a ship week before? Or even made serious ship art? But I’m very fond of JE and I really wanted to. Other things I am fond of: TMA vampires! So I made Jon one. If you’re wondering how that works… I’d say don’t worry about it but I actually have several ideas.
Jon was always a vampire, he’s just a weird, more sentient mutant. Elias wants to study him.
All TMA vampires are sentient, they’re just also too hungry to care about things like morals or leading a regular life outside of feeding. Jon is different, Elias wants to study him.
Jon is currently in the process of being turned (just because it hasn’t been observed in-universe doesn’t mean it couldn’t have happened). Elias wants to study him (but if he’s not careful his fun new science project WILL eat him).
Art under the cut (along with the refs I use for them).
