Did You Know: The death of your shadow is a fatal injury? Syrabane discovered this after creating a sword that could cut through shadow. He demonstrated this aspect of the sword by cutting through a friend's shadow, only for them to expire moments after their shadow was cut.

been toying with the concept of vampirism as like, needing something that you inherently can't provide for yourself. vampirism as dependency- especially in cases of vampires who refuse to (or straightup *cannot* for whatever reason) feed on anyone without consent, who must rely on blood freely given by living humans.

an independent young adult, so eager to move out on her own and see the world by herself, is turned into a vampire. her human parents are willing to feed her, but now she'll be dependent on them. she can't move away, can't stray too far from the family farm by herself, because she can't be too far from her source of blood for too long. she's afraid of what will happen when her parents are too old to give blood to her, if she'll be able to find someone else to depend on. she'll outlive them all eventually, if she's not left to starve.

a sociable vampire with a wide network of human friends who are willing to offer up their blood to her. they're happy to help her, but she still feels like a monster for having to take their blood all the time. she tries to take as little as possible while they beg her please take more, we hate seeing you so hungry all the time, please let us help. 

a vampire trapped in an abusive marriage because he relies on his wife for blood. if he leaves her without an alternate support system to feed him, he'd starve. she isolated him from all his other loved ones who might've been willing to feed him years ago. she holds the fact that she gives him her blood over his head anytime he tries to defend himself.

Public speaking is actually really easy if you don't respect a single soul in that room. I've had an incredibly easy time delivering speeches when I hated everybody I saw and they all thought I did amazing because my disdain was read as confidence. I don't have any tips for you I'm just telling you a fact

Eyepatch girls bothersome new vampire friend

Has been chainsmoking since the invention of cigarettes. Wears 99% leather, which has of course soaked in the smoke from her habit. Mostly hangs out in shady bars and the like, so she also stinks of stale alchohol and other things common in such enviroments. In conclusion its Bad near her.

Unfortunately for eyepatch girl she really does now need her to look after her for various reasons. Such rotten luck, honestly.

+ bonus the two of them together <3

Thomas Benjamin Kennington (English, 1856-1916)

Reading the Letter

[para-psychopathology]

“two men walk into a bar. the first man orders a scotch and soda. the second man remembers something he’d forgotten. it doubles him over in pain. he falls to the ground and sinks into the earth. he looks up at the first man, but he doesn’t call out. they’re not that close.”
