Vampire Academy Characters In Quarantine

-Lissa: Reads all the latest research papers and makes a lovely speech recommending all Moroi practice social distancing. Is struggling to maintain a solid work/life balance. 

-Christian: Makes terrible jokes to cheer Lissa up, and ensures she doesn’t forget to eat food, drink blood, and get some sleep.

-Rose: Is going crazy from being in quarantine and feels pissed she can’t kill this motherfucking virus. 

-Dimitri: Spars with Rose to help with her frustration and is learning to knit. His first knitting project is a scarf for his mother. 

-Mia: Is paranoid that she’s going to get the virus even though Moroi are immune, and prays REALLY hard that a vaccine is coming ASAP even though she’s not normally religious. 

-Abe: Is secretly funneling some of his money to help research a cure and/or a vaccine for the virus.

Can I Copy Your Homework? Vampire Academy Edition

I got this idea from incorrect roman quotes, and decided it was too funny NOT to post. 

I’ll help you with it! : Lissa Dragomir

Yeah, sure: Eddie Castile, Jill Mastrano

Bold of you to assume I did the homework: Mason Ashford

Um, no: Mia Rinaldi

 Wait. We had homework? : Rose Hathaway

Yes, Liara T’Soni gets a lot of the spot light in the trilogy, but the way some of her haters demonize her as selfish is gross. Liara comforts you multiple times about the loss of Earth, expresses sorrow about the fall of Palavan, and her reaction to Thessia falling is more about guilt for not doing more for her people than “woe is me!” 

Yes her confrontation scene with Javik is poorly written, but it’s honestly an extension of Bioware dumbing Liara down and mocking her academic career studying the Protheans in order to build up Javik, who I actually do like.
