Vampire Lore: Bloodlust

Vampires need human blood to survive, and similar to jury duty, humans are randomly selected by the government to donate blood in order to feed vampires in the country. The blood is kept in specific blood bags and are mixed with chemicals that greatly reduce a vampires sense of taste and smell. The reduction of these senses greatly reduces a vampires instincts, preventing them from going into the bloodlust state if someone has an open wound around them. While the chemical prevents them from going into bloodlust, the government highly warns its citizens against letting vampires drink directly from them. As it can induce bloodlust by diluting the chemicals effects in the vampires body.

Although Lucien's character is still being reworked, his appearance remains the same! So here is the final RO portrait: Lucien!

[oliviagwrites-if]

Who amongst the romanced ROs is gonna allow MC to play with their hair? Not the 'running fingers through your hair', like, really playing and trying to tie/style it (not in the 'I'm gonna make your hair look good', but more, 'let me play your hair'. Short hair? No problem, a million tiny pigtails)

Valour:

I don't want to spoil his looks too much but in short answer: Absolutely! He would love it as long as he got to do your hair afterwards as well! Although, I think he would focus on making you look beautiful/stunning rather than just playing with it!

Koda:

You look at the bag full of ponytails, hair products, and hair dye. You had found the bag lying on a park bench and perhaps, maybe decided to snatch it while you were passing by. Finders keepers, right? You pull a few items out and your brows wrinkle. You need a test subject for these. Now... who has long beautiful hair you could try this out on? Koda. A little, and slightly maniacal grin crosses your face as you scurry out of the apartment to the cafe next door. The closed sign hangs lazily in your face but you ignore it and proceed to knock on the glass. You hear the rapid pounding of footsteps on stairs before soon enough you see Emma's face pop into view as the door swings open. "Hiya! Need something?" She asks flashing a wide grin your way. You hold the bag open and show it to her. "Is Koda around? I'd like to test some hair products." Her face lights up and she beams at you. "He's out right now, but we can ABSOLUTELY rope him into this!" She says gleefully, matching your sly look. "Come on in, I'll make us some popcorn while we wait and we can look over everything you got!" Needless to say when Koda returned from shopping you and Emma managed to try out some pretty wild hairstyles on him.

Lucien:

Bag of stuff in your hand you try to calculate your hairdo proposal to be as probable as possible. Which was not probable at all, but hey, it doesn't hurt to ask. You slowly slide up behind the couch where his form lounges, silently reading some sort of book. "Heyyy" you start slowly as he glances over his shoulder at you. "No." "You didn't even get to hear my proposal!" You cry, a small smile tugs on the corners of his lips. "I didn't have to, I saw the bag of hair products sitting on the counter a while ago, and if you're coming up to me with them in hand instead of heading straight to the washroom, clearly you are looking for a mannequin or a little bit of advice about how to use everything. With that cheeky grin of yours, I figure you're looking for more of a doll than for help." You pout a little bit. "Well... what if I told you Vee ordered you to help?" He turns back to his book. "I would call cry wolf." You groan and turn to leave sulking away, before you hear Lucien turn back around again. "Hold on- where did you even get those supplies?" You scurry away before he can get off the couch to interrogate.

Thanks for the ask! 🥰❤️

[oliviagwrites-if]

Feel free to space my asks out, I just ask because if I don't, I'll forget (I'm Dory, Dory is me lol)

Which of the ROs' would the angsty-est? Whose is fluffier? Hmm, maybe this would be better: 1-10 ranking on angst levels please. With 1 being 'relatively fluffy' and 10 being 'your heart will bleed dry'

Thanks!

I personally love fluffy romances... as long as their paired with lots of angst! So each of the romances have lots of angst, but they still have their fluffy bits!

Valour's Route:

For now there are two routes planned out... I'll call them the Liars route and the Honesty route! Both of them have their ups and downs! Liars route is planned to be good in the first half and then gets angstier as the story progresses, so I would rate that as a 9 for... reasons. The Honesty route has a more enemies/rivals vibe to it where it's not necessarily angsty but more of a slow burn. I'll give it a 7 but that might change as I still have to work on plotting it!

Koda's Route:

10/10 (might be a little biased, he's my baby). He makes me want to cry every time I think about his route 😭 He doesn't want to bring MC down to his level so its a lot of yearning for the first little while. But once you lock into his romance, and you get passed the yearning stage, he practically worships the MC. You will never have to lift a finger or dirty your hands. Ever. He'll do it all for you.

Luciens Route:

His route can change a lot based on your actions as well. His trope romance-wise is not exactly, but similar to the "I can fix them" mentality towards MC. He wants to make sure MC doesn't screw up their life. So if MC is a lot more prone to... immoral/corrupted acts the angst can ramp up a lot. But if MC is more innocent he wants to keep them protected and pure... which can also get quite angsty...

Thanks for the ask and make to stay happy, healthy, and hydrated! ❤️

[oliviagwrites-if]

Hellllooo! Firstly, thanks for responding to my previous ask!

Now, for the first question: Can you give us a few tidbits about the ROs? Just little fun facts

Hello, hello! You're welcome! And thanks for the asks, it makes Tumblr a little less intimidating when people send them in! ❤️

Valour:

Sometimes, when he goes out, you'll see quite a few stray animals following him along the streets as he travels over the rooftops. He pampers the strays a little too much. Unfortunately, he had to stop feeding them in his costume since they gave away his position while following him on a heist once. But he still feeds them outside of his costume!

His favorite color is blue, specifically periwinkle blue! But he has no items to show his love for the color except a single periwinkle blue collared shirt that he never wears, lol.

Koda:

All of the pastries and baked goods sold at the cafe are handmade by him and/or Emma (if he doesn't have the time!) He is also a very skilled cook and has mastered many culinary dishes. Almost anything you can imagine he can cook! But, despite his cooking skills, people find it odd how often fast food gets delivered to their place.

He has probably never won a game of cards or a board game against Emma. Not because he is bad, he just doesn't care to win and knows how happy it makes Emma when she wins. (Though she is starting to catch on)

Lucien:

He has no cooking or baking capabilities! Where he currently lives he is too scared to try cooking. So, for now, he lives off of microwave meals or fast food. (He hates it so much lol)

Under no circumstances will you ever see this man wearing a hoodie and sweatpants. He has very high self-hygiene standards and he is only ever seen wearing high-quality clothing. (Though not necessarily expensive)

[oliviagwrites-if]

Hello! Hope you're doing great! Just wanted to ask if you're ok with the tradition form of character asks? (I always like to get confirmation before I go ahead and practically start spamming, lol) Also, what about NSFW asks?

Hello!

I hope you're doing great as well! Thank you for the ask! I was beginning to run out of things to post lol!

I love to read character asks for other IF's! I haven't done anything similar to character asks before but I would love to try answering some to help figure out if I like doing them or not! I can get overwhelmed quickly so there is a likely chance their written answers will be paced out but I think it will be a great way for me to practice writing the characters and getting to know them more! ❤️

Of course, if the questions are too spoilery for the story or if they involve spoilers for certain characters, I won't be able to answer them!

As for NSWF questions, I am not comfortable answering them so I would ask that questions be kept appropriate! ❤️

[oliviagwrites-if]

Don't mind me just rewriting Lucien's whole character... so you'll see random changes on his page and the banner for the next little while! I'm still working on minor tweaks but his character flows much smoother with the story now then it did before so the change is welcome!

Free England: The History of Its Name

Free England is often also referred to as New England due to its history between the USA and England. While it was previously a part of the English isle when it had broken apart it declared itself its own country. Dubbing itself "New England". The English didn't like that the name practically bragged about their loss so, they went to war with New England.

At this news the United States decided to help out and fought on New England's side, eventually winning the war for New England's independence. With New England now indebted to the United States they wanted New England to join them and become another state. New England declined and the United States argued with them for a time, saying that because of their help, they owed them now. Free England continued to decline but in return for their help, better trade agreements were established between the countries and to honor the United States and their help dubbed themselves "Free England".

Nowadays it is a common belief that the United States only let them get away with their independence was because the Free England's ruler at the time had sweet-talked the prime minister into convincing him that "Free England" was to honor the prime minister himself- who's last name was Free.

Do vampires in this world still have a weakness to sunlight?

(Thanks for the question! I love blabbering about world lore!❤️🥰I couldn't help myself and wrote about some of the abilities for vampires below! There is still a ton I could go into but I don't want to chat everyone's ear off too much in just one post 😅)

Vampire Lore: Abilities

The abilities vampires have inherited from the original core-user vampire vary in degree from individual to individual. Here is a list of the more popular abilities in vampires:

Blood Drinking: Every vampire needs blood to survive. The amount varies from vampire to vampire, but it's usually similar to humans, where it's based on body size and weight. The bigger you are, the more blood you need. Some vampires were able to inherit the ability to drink both animal and human blood, but most vampires must have human blood to survive.

Sunlight Exposure: There are a rare few vampires that are completely unaffected by sunlight, they can walk through carefree like any human. Most other vampires aren't so lucky. Through the generations and natural selection the vampires who burned when in sunlight were almost completely killed out, causing the vampires who could go in sunlight to thrive. But, they aren't completely without flaws. While they can go in sunlight they do get sunburns easily and their eyes are very weak in the light. Thankfully in modern times, they either wear sunglasses to counter this or wear specially designed eye contacts that work like sunglasses.

Enhanced Strength and Speed: While the original vampire was terrifyingly fast and strong, a more diluted version of this is inherited by vampires nowadays. A vampire born with enhanced strength has about the same strength as a werewolf in their human form, but if they train they can be on par with a werewolf in their transformed state, which is quite a feat. Between enhanced strength and speed, speed tends to be the most popular to inherit. This includes heightened reflexes, stamina, and overall speed. Most with this ability can naturally out run an athlete, and with some training can even run as fast as a car and dart short distances in the blink of an eye.

[oliviagwrites-if]

Elven Lore: Population

Of the 3 main core created species, elves by far are the most prosperous. Found all across the world, they are not uncommon to come by. While werewolves and vampires were feared and hunted in the past, elves were coveted for their natural beauty and were often married to nobles or other higher-ranked individuals as concubines. Although they likely would have taken over humans long ago their fertility issues are the only reason this hasn't happened.

[oliviagwrites-if]

Vampire Lore: Inheritance

While the original core user who created vampires could bite people and convert them, the vampires created did not inherit this trait. To be a vampire now a days you must be born as one. If both parents are vampires there is a one hundred percent chance the child is also a vampire. If one parent is a human and the other is a vampire there is a fifty percent chance. If a grandparent was a vampire there is a twenty five percent chance, and so on and so forth.

Fear Makes Phobias Update - 2025/03/14

Hello, to you all! I hope everyone's week went splendidly, and you all have a lovely weekend planned out! 🥰🥰🥰

Holy guacamole, this week was busy for me! Although I didn't think I'd get much work done on the story, I did manage to start editing the prologue a little bit! Otherwise, I was pretty busy! I hope to return to my regular work on the IF next week!

(And as a quick comment, today officially marks one month of the prologue being out so, woot woot! 🎉🎉🎉)

I hope you all stay happy, healthy, and hydrated! Have a great weekend!❤️

[oliviagwrites-if]

Hi, Idk if it's an error but I was playing a male Heir yet the teenage boy refers to Alec as "princess" instead of prince. Also, isn't the Heir supposed to be veiled? How could Nolan's father know what kind of expression Alec's wearing when he's talking about the council meeting?

Both of those are errors on my part and are part of my list of things to fix for the prologue! Thanks for telling me though, I appreciate it and I hope you enjoyed reading the prologue! 😊❤️

[oliviagwrites-if]

Hi hi! I wanted to ask if you have someone who check your work? Because (i dont want to be rude) you have a lot of spelling mistakes in your work. If you dont i would suggest looking for a person like that (could be a friend or a family member) or to use a site that would point those mistakes.

On the other hand the if looks absolutely amazing and its really well written! Im looking forward to more content :))

Hello hello!

I'm so happy you enjoyed the prologue, it was tons of fun to write! I have a few people who were meant to read over the prologue but got very busy with their personal lives, so they didn't have time to go over it! I had extended the time to release the prologue to give them more time to read it but they were still busy and I felt bad for pushing back the release date so much I had decided to just go for it and release it! One beta reader has already gotten around to reading it and another very lovely individual submitted a google form full of edits as well! I hope to get around to doing fixes for the prologue alongside the chapter 1 release or possibly before it! ❤️

[oliviagwrites-if]

Author disclaimer.

I love creating stories but have never really written before so this is my first time actually writing a book! I fell in love with IF and I am much more interested in writing a IF story then an actual book, which is why I am doing this! It helps me to grow my writing skills, my story creation skills, and it gives me something fun to do in my free time! It is likely why you will see so many errors in my work because I am still learning and building my skills through making Fear Makes Phobias and I appreciate all the help that is given! ❤️

[oliviagwrites-if]

Responses are out for the MC's fear response poll!

Thank you to everyone who voted! I'm not surprised the fighter MC's were the highest voted! But I am surprised the freeze and fawn MC's were almost tied!

[oliviagwrites-if]

Results for The Heir types poll are out!

I am shocked with how high the charming MC's were! (Considering they are the most like the friendly MC who was one of the lowest voted personality traits!) I want to thank everyone again for playing and a even bigger thank you for everyone who played several times, it warms my heart! ❤️
