All interesting!
I have seen nothing yet though to make me change my thought process.
Inanna has MANY many more aspects than a young love starved goddess.
She is the destroyer of realms, stealer of powers, patron of the sky, destroyer of the mountain, Isis, Shiva, and a lot more. She has bled into almost every pantheon, which is appropriate for an ancient iconic goddess.
I can tell you with 100% certainty that she is not after the MC for his sexual potential. She has needs and interests that go so far beyond that, that she has to focus on before any of that silliness. She needs to exact vengeance on her sister before anything, and that requires rising and doing so quickly, hopefully before Ereshkigal is ready for her. Of course, my money is on them rising more or less simultaneously, but that could be a part of why a potentially corrupted Arcas-my mind Virgil, could be acting against her rising, and thus a threat to Calisto. This could certainly account for Inanna whispering her desire to embrace the MC to Calisto.
As for the other thoughts, well I think we will see. I certainly think many things are possible, but my basics are still my heavy betting favorites.
yes but my question is how many times as Sharon drank the MC blood? cause how much of the MC blood was left in Laurie when she drained her? was it enough to complete the thralling?
Arigon how many times as Sharon drank of the MC and does Laurie counts if we stuffed her up like a turkey full of our blood?
So
Avaron1974 is correct as is
FunFuntomes that it does not work that way.
Sharon has had Astrid's blood before, at some time in the past, my personal belief is she was never thralled, so a max of two drinks. Now, Astrid and Sharon are average vampires -in VTM 8-13th generation. It would take 3 drinks of their blood to bond them. The devs made either an error or a statement that more powerful blood bonds more quickly, in the case of Ivy. She should not be bound, nor does the line regarding her eating a sandwich so hungrily due to the loss of her blood, make any sense. So it is possible that behind the scenes, which should have been included, that the MC drank his fill on Ivy to power up for the encounter with our cave Goddess.
However, if he thralled her so quickly, then the 3 drink rule may not apply to his blood.
Sharon, so far has had
source material says it takes one month for the blood to be gone, but for the rest you're correct that it wouldn't affect Sharon in any form besides giving Laurie's blood a better flavor.
however we also saw indirect thralling when the Douchebag made Sharon drink from the chalice at the investiture.
That is not a case of indirect. Indirect would be loading up a vessel and having someone feed from it. The blood of the vampire changes when it goes into a thrall, and becomes the "ghoul"s blood at that point. Not the pure vampire blood. It has to be capable of functioning as human blood to keep the ghoul alive, as well as juicing them up. The chalice was pure blood bonding classic material. Whose blood it is, that is the question. My money is on Virgil.
Enough for now!
Peace you savages!
