Coffee House Friday

Sylum's Coffee House Image

As Spring Fling is coming up and it’s the time to showcase Videos, Fanmixes and Artwork.

And I have a brand new computer and updated editing software.   Which characters would you like Videos of.   

Okay guys before you start listing all the stories you want to see – I’m asking about Fanmixes or Videos!! 

Believe me I have the list of stories y’all want!!

So any particular song you would think would make a good video? Or just want to see a Video made for a specific character/pairing. 

(Please note that not all character have good footage we can pull from!)

Sylum Inspiration: Azazel

Oceania: Hunter

 

The tales around who Azazel is and where he comes from is legendary.

Some say he was a fallen angel from heaven.  Others say he was part of the Neyaphem, and was at war with the Cheyarafim, who banished his people to another dimension.  Only Azazel escaped due to his teleporting capabilities.

When asked how old he really is, and where he comes from he only smiles.

There are legends through history that talk about the ‘red devil’ or a demon who just appears in front of you seeking your soul.

But the first time recorded history of Azazel is in the Caribbean, and Captain Jack Sparrow.

Tell A Fairy Tale Day

So today is Tell A Fairy Tale Day!

Sylum isn’t without Fairy Tales!   

There’s Cinderella with Wenceslaus. 

Also Scheherazade and 1001 Stories.   

And coming soon – Swan Lake.

 

So what’s your favorite Fairy Tale?

California Day

 

It’s California Day.

It’s actually not the day California became a state, that would be September 9th.

This is just a day to recognize the Golden State.

As a California native, I’m taking the day off 🙂

Sylum Inspiration: Roland Deschain

Oceania: Hunter

 

Roland was born into slavery, on a plantation in South Carolina.  When the war broke out between the states, his father took the advantage and fled with him and his mother.  He found himself out west, moving from town to town.  His mother had taught him how to read, and his father taught him how to survive.

He learned quickly to use a gun, became known for his natural skills.

And when a posse came for him, he ran.

Roland ended up in Australia, if you ask him how, he really couldn’t tell you.  He used his skills to help those he could, and in time found himself protecting the aborigines and those who were being pushed out of their lands by wealthy men with power.

He kept to his father’s code:

I do not aim with my hand;
He who aims with his hand has forgotten the face of his father.
I aim with my eye.


I do not shoot with my hand;
He who shoots with his hand has forgotten the face of his father.
I shoot with my mind.


I do not kill with my gun;
He who kills with his gun has forgotten the face of his father.
I kill with my heart.

It was Jake who finally caught up with him, along with Dundee and Quigley.  They sat him down to explain about Vampires.  He was intrigued by the way they lived their lives, and protection they gave.

So he agreed to be Turned.
