It has been 51 days since I have cried over Sorin Markov

Maybe Innistrad wouldn’t be so bad if they hadn’t left this kid in charge.
A young Sorin Markov sitting at a dinner table with an unhappy expression on his face. He hasn’t touched his food. His family is around him, ignoring his presence and actually enjoying their dinner.

the answer was 17 sorins, but 16 is understandable since most of sorin’s face is covered on the duel deck-
The image from the quoted post, now marked with every picture of sorin shown in the previous image. There are 17 different sorin instances.

Brb. I have to consult the council real quick-
A picture of Alek’s bedroom wall. Above all the Ravenloft and MTG decorations there are six images of Sorin Markov on the wall. (From the left: A stained glass Sorin, Vengeful Bloodlord wall scroll, a French Dark Ascension poster, a Magic 2012 poster, the Ayami Kojima Sorin the Mirthless wall scroll, a signed print of Sorin, Ravenous Neonate, and a signed print of Sorin of House Markov.

totally unrelated: quick oc drawing
A quick drawing of Alek’s STILL unnamed oc. They’re bathed in red light and wielding an axe. A small smile is on their face, and they look very collected despite being hunched over. They’re wearing torn up clothes, the gaps of which are filled by fishnets. A zoomed in version of the previous image.

It has been 47 days since I have cried over Sorin Markov

In honor of me dying my hair last night, I will share the Sorin fact that we have known his hair was white as a mortal since C17. Youth the art is no longer canon compliant, it was the only art we had of him as a human for a few years.
A picture of the c17 blood tribute art zoomed in. Here we see a human Sorin Markov kneeling at an altar and looking up to his grandfather (who is offscreen). The image is low quality, but you can make out Sorin’s white hair in spite of that.

Do you guys like my hair :3

getting it cut and dyed in a way I’ve wanted since I was a kid is really awesome and kinda gender affirming actually.
Alek taking a photo of themselves in a mirror, their face blocked by their phone with a Sorin Markov case. Their hair is red and black, newly dyed, and it goes to their shoulders.

Part of a commission I got from @ bluravenite on Tumblr! You should go follow them there :3
A painting of a young Sorin Markov sitting at a table, his hands resting open on it. He is dressed in blue and purple finery, and is looking at the camera with a blank expression. The scene is reminiscent of a noble’s portrait.

do you guys like my vampire hunter oc concept
Image Description a drawing of a young person with blue and pink hair. They are wearing a patchwork jacket of different patterns, styles, and colors. they are also wearing ripped pants, a tattered skirt, and black boots. the tears and the gaps of their clothing reveal fishnets they are wearing underneath their outer layer of clothing. one hand is behind their head while the other shows off the back of their phone they are presumably recording from. they are smiling ominously.

sigh. I didn’t want to have to post about this again 😔
A two-panel Simpsons meme. There is a bus driver saying: “Don’t make me tap the sign.” and the second panel has the driver’s finger on a sign that says: “Sorin is 16 years old in the art of both 'Sorin of House Markov' and 'Sorin, Ravenous Neonate.'” Alongside a low opacity image of a young Sorin Markov

sharing this part of crimson vow since the commission isn’t finished yet and I love this part a lot.
Sorin looked down at the invitation in his hands. He furrowed his brow. Chandra thought he looked just like a moody old portrait, which made her laugh, because he'd hate to hear that. She was at least quick enough to bite her lip to stifle it. No matter how ridiculous Sorin is as a person—or how much she might dislike him— it's hard to imagine what she'd be feeling in this situation.

A piece of VTMB2 art of my blorbos I commissioned from @viciousvirtue.bsky.social ! I’m getting it as a playmat >:3

please follow them and give them money to draw you pictures RIGHT NOW.
A piece of art of Fabien (A noir detective-looking man with a hat that obscures his eyes) from holding Phyre (An elder vampire with black hair who is wearing tattered white robes and covered in strange tattoos.) in a ballet pose. They are dancing in a dark room, the only light coming from the red floor and from Fabien's body.

I found a sealed Mirko deck in my basement. Anyone have any suggestions for cards that might speed it up?
Mirko, Obsessive Theorist - (1)(U)(B) (A vampire using magic to gather information from dozens of books. He is floating mid-air as he casts the spell.) Legendary Creature - Vampire Detective Flying, Vigilance Whenever you surveil, put a +1+1 counter on Mirko, Obsessive Theorist. At the beginning of your end step, you may return target creature card with power less than Mirko's from your graveyard to the battlefield with a finality counter on it. (If it would die, exile it instead.) (1/3)

happy halloween
A proxy of bitter revelation: Bitter Revelation - 3(B) (A vampire-looking Jehovah’s Witness holding up a copy of a Magazine named ‘The Watchtower’, depicting a scene of Armageddon.) Sorcery Look at the top four cards of your library. Put two of them into your hand and the rest into your graveyard. You lose 2 life. "Oh no, this is much worse.”

Mouse Alesha for @sapphorygon.bsky.social !

It has been 14 days since I have cried over Sorin Markov

Nahiri is left handed, but has been shown using stone blades in both of her hands. My favorite headcanon surrounding this is that Sorin, someone who is right-handed, taught her how to fight with her right hand for their duels.

Another post of this beautiful image.

It has been 10 days since I have cried over Sorin Markov

Thinking about how Sorin was called a prince like three times in one Midnight Hunt story and never again-

Bring it back.
He rolls his head as if thinking it over. Then: "It's the Markovs. That prince of theirs, he took it. Did my father say he missed me?"

awesome commission I did for @xantchaslegacy.bsky.social of Anowon showing Nissa his teeth box-
A drawing of Anowon showing Nissa a box of teeth. His face seems to be gleaming with pride, while Nissa’s looks grossed out as she awkwardly fiddles with her hair. The drawing is only lineart, but there are splashes of watercolor that gives the image contrast enough to make the subjects stand out.

this reminds me that about a year ago I did a gift of fangs proxy of Sorin drawing over the same painting Katie referenced here and I wanted to share it!

(Also absolutely go follow Katie right now-)
(Proxy) Gift of Fangs - (B) *A young, vampire Sorin Markov lying in a shallow, plant filled body of water. Flowers are covering his hands, neck, and the back of his head and blood is pouring from his mouth. His eyes are closed, but he looks upset.* Enchantment — Aura Enchant creature Enchanted creature gets +2/+2 as long as it's a Vampire. Otherwise, it gets -2/-2. —— "I never asked for that—" "My dear boy, that is what makes it a gift.”

It has been 7 days since I have cried over Sorin Markov

Despite last night’s post, I do have a fun fact today.

The original Sorin Markov is the only planeswalker (and one of less than a dozen cards) that can give you control over another player’s turn.

He also does not give them a turn back.
Sorin Markov - (B)(B)(B)(3) *Sorin Markov adjusting his glove. He is looking down at the camera with a smile as a bit of blood drips from the corner of his mouth. He is in some sort of cathedral, bathed in green light.* +2: Sorin Markov deals 2 damage to target creature or player and you gain 2 life. -3: Target opponent’s life total becomes 10. -7: You control target player’s next turn. (4)
