Like every good freak worth the nickname, Eddie made a habit of reading Dracula every Halloween. 

The first read led to closeted daydreaming about getting abducted by a handsome vampire. Letting himself poke at desires he hadn’t been ready to commit to. With age his fantasies and aesthetics matured, until he was the bloodsucking creature of the night stealing pretty boys away to give in to their secret temptations. So, if he's honest, he’s having a hard time dealing with life and the lemons it’s juggling off to the side of him.

“It isn't fair.”

“Hmm,” Steve, with his red puffer vest and his coordinating Nikes, sat across from him at some point in full view of Eddie’s misery over his annotated copy of Dracula.

“There's an aesthetic you're failing to appreciate and it isn't fair that you-”

“Are we going to do this every time?” He asks around the straw in his mouth, poked into a blood bag labeled ‘Robin:)’ like he’s sipping from a juice box.

“Until you stop dressing like a JCPenney catalog model, or vampires become lame, yeah we probably are, Harrington.”

“Fine,” he sighs, having the decency to pull the blood bag away from his face, “I'm sorry that you had to have five blood transfusions and basically have new, non-vampire blood. No one has ever suffered the way you, Eddie Munson, have.”

“You're being sarcastic, but I have suffered so apology accepted, Stevie.”

“Now you.” Steve prompts, gesturing with the bag in his hands.

“Now me what?”

Steve sits up, a languid move that makes Eddie’s prey brain sit up at attention and his horny boy brain poke its head up too. “Say I'm sorry, Steve, that you had to save the world for the fourth time so a bunch of freaky bat venom metastasized-”

“You absolutely stole that word from Henderson,” breathless, the jab doesn’t carry the weight it could.

“-in your bloodstream and combined with the remains of the experimental Soviet drugs and now," He crawls closer, "you can't eat garlic anymore.”

“That's the hang up for you? Not the blood drinking?”

“I'm Italian, I can’t eat anything anymore. Sure I can supplement the blood with raw meat, but what’s the point if everything is poorly seasoned.” Blood bag all but forgotten in the arm chair, he has Eddie pinned in place looming overtop of him, talking shit about what he’ll never be able to eat again.

The white collar of Steve’s t-shirt is visible beneath the color-block vest, even that isn’t enough to stop his brain from screaming predator on repeat. Supernaturally strong, it doesn’t take more than a hand on the shoulder to push Eddie down horizontal on the couch. He has to feel Eddie’s heart beat, the way it pounds in his chest as Steve noses up the collarbone to his neck. “Really does suck for me, huh baby?”

I didn't get a hogwarts letter at 11,

I didn't get taken to camp halfblood at 12,

I didn't get my memory wiped and get thrown into a maze at 13,

I'm 14, so far my siblings haven't found a wardrobe that leads to narnia,

If that doesn't happen I have the chances of:

Being reaped into the hunger games at 15,

Choosing dauntless and discovering I'm Divergent at 16,

Meeting two beautiful vampire brothers at 17,

Becoming a vampire after giving birth to a daughter with my vampire husband at 18.

God, please make at least one of these come true, I'm not doing very well in this world.

— But it's almost midnight. — Oh, that's the point! At the stroke of twelve, he turns into Dracula. C'mon, Vicki – he won't bite.

i'm already so bored of all of those "stop being mean to people about their opinions on bg3" posts. i am being so gentle i don't even tag my shit unlike most of you* heathens

[samlover4evr]

why arent there more vampire sam fics or anything wtfff

[shopwitchvamp]

I’m confused. Are people mad that you’re using tumblr to promote your business??

Do they have the same complaint of US businesses paying taxes to the government who is also corrupt? 🤔

I’d love to hear their take on how that’s any different.

Yeah there's a pretty loud small group of people that are really against blaze/tumblr being used. Sometimes they show up trying the morality police route, other times they're just straight up rude haters. Ain't gonna change a thing either way ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[looseinthecatroom]

Don't stop or anything, Larian, but I've definitely heard this one before.

Can I ask for a preference for the DCA boys? Sun/Moon/ Eclipse. And if there is a specific AU version you fancy?

Oh, sure!

For the preferences I'm uh. Between Sun/Moon I refuse to choose? I see them as a set, Do Not Separate, and it feels unfair to choose between them. I'm very enthusiastic about healthy sleep, and own unholy amounts of glitter glue and other craft supplies, so it really just works out for a match. I love Eclipse too! Though I see him as separate*, not as intrinsically linked into the set, and given that Sun and Moon are the "originals" they win out over Eclipse**!

*Depends on the interpretation, of course, but if left to my own devices

**This, too, depends on the interpretation, as I've been known to simp for the Police Chief and perhaps a teeny tiny bit the Bounty Hunter in @naffeclipse's Syzygy in Dedication/ Sleuth Jesters

In regards to AU preferences that's already one point then, though uh. I've kind of made half a brand out of being entirely insane over also Naff's Cryptid Sightings Sun/Moon/Eclipse - all three just one being in this one, and big dangerous cryptid soft for one human is simply too much of a weakness.

Them being caretakers is always a plus, because I love the trope of caretaker confronted with being taken care of, does not compute (literally, in their case) and also just. Animatronic existence and the conflict it creates (not necessarily fighting, but the surrounding circumstances in the world, misunderstandings, getting to know each other and growing closer while exploring and appreciating differences as well as similarities, and how these intertwine) is my favorite, though as long as it's human and non human interaction I'm going to be fascinated tbh. As a queer neurodiverse person accepting and cherishing differences, and taking the time to truly understand the other is simply my bread and butter

I suppose I should also say I like my own AU boys too? I mean, obviously, I created them! Though honestly, there are so many versions and interpretations of the boys and I'll eat them all up, I'm really bad at choosing, so I suppose the bottom line of all this is...

i was drawing this to explain my vision on my placement of Marshall(s) and Gary and Gumball on the 100% purely bisexual to exclusively gay spectrum to my partner and then when i finished i realized that it was obvious who i cared more about drawing. (Marshall) (it's Marshall)

[ratwars]

are u in the bloodless vampires camp or do u prefer vampires who have (potentially drinkable) blood themselves?

I am in the vamps with blood camp because I like the whole vamp4vamp can drink from each other idea. I can't say I think too much about the intricacies of it all since I like the whole pale and cold vamp thing too. So maybe their blood and circulatory system is just *different* than humans (which also helps account for the whole immortality/hard to kill idea).

[parcai]

finished all my vampire books what do i do now. :( 🧛‍♂️💔

[nonbinarychaoticstupid]

how am i supposed to explain to cis people that im the only person who's allowed to she/her myself. like i use any pronouns THEORETICALLY. and only if the person any pronouns-ing me is me in reference to myself. bc cis people will see me use she/her for myself and fucking run wild with it. and there's a solid chance that they dont really grasp the concept of 'any pronouns' anyway and will just see she/her and black out

He points to the weapon currently sticking out of his abdomen, the blood slowly staining his shirt (which was already covered in other, very ancient bloodstains, mind you), seemingly unphased by the injury.

"Are you gonna want this back?"
