#VAMPIRES AND WIZARDS AND WEREWOLVES

[timaeusterrored]

Can't stop thinking of that Vampire AU with Vampire Kerry and Venus, both using mortal Vax to feed off of~♡ Ker would tease Vax by grazing his fangs against his neck, whispering just how beautiful of a vampire he'd be~♡ Being able to hear Vax's heart rate picked up out of either fear or lust~♡ Venus making sure their blood bag is kept fed and hydrated, along with getting plenty of rest~♡ They'd live in a stone castle, and even have a coffin shaped bed. I can see Vax walking down the vast stone staircase, illuminated by moonlight, wearing a vintage, long, flowy, white, sheer gown~♡ The summer breeze catching it, making his gown flow behind him as he walks down the steps to the main hall~♡

If you want to make it extra spicy~♡ Make Vax a skilled vampire hunter, one that has successfully disposed of countless vampires. Playing the game of a mortal who'd fallen prey to two vampires. His mission was to slay the two; much like his other jobs, but over time, he started to develop feelings for them. Making the job harder to carry out~♡ Ker and Venus are aware of what he did, much without Vax's knowledge. It wasn't a random choice. They spotted him and singled him out. So as a form of revenge, they made him fall for the creatures he swore to hate~♡

I love the idea of them draining him a bit too much, especially at first, to the point where Vax is weak and lethargic. Vax is lying on the bed while Venus kisses over his neck and chest. Ker reaches over, caressing Vax's cheek lovingly and simply tells him. "We know what you did." And just leave it at that~♡

This was amazing to come home too oh my god

“We know what you did.” Then kisses his forehead as he falls asleep, confused.

God Vax in the nightgown too!!!😭

I’m imagining Venus in some gorgeous outfits as well, lots of him and Kerry always touching each other. Him taking care of Vax while he sleeps. Wearing floor length sheer robes that show his chest.

Vax falls in love first, obviously. But in Kerry fashion, it takes him a while to realize he’s fallen for Vax as well. I can imagine him laying in bed with Vax, watching him sleep realizing the ‘plan’ has been going on for far too long.

One part of Halloween movies that I’ll always love is when the real supernatural entities come into the real world and interact with humans but since it’s Halloween the humans see them and just go “woah that’s a sick costume” 🎃

A friendly reminder that Halloween is the one day a year where anyone can get away with dressing however the hell they want (and also you could be surrounded by real magical beings and you wouldn’t know it 🪄)

Trying to share my original work. Feedback, comments, and suggestions welcomed.

I wrote a book and now I'm trying to advertise for it.

It's an action-adventure, slice-of-life, high-school drama.

In a timeline where all the myths of humanity are true and more, humans live aside the oddness of "Other Beings". A Coexistence that brings forth all the results of clashing populations, both good and bad. Those who are born neither fully other nor fully mundane are collectively called "Demi-Human", and just like their mundane counterparts, demi-human teenagers have to go through the trails of high school and all the teenage politics that entails. This collection of stories covers Class J of West Progress High's Freshmen Year. A rather odd bunch of students, even by demi-human standards, though they don't know that yet.

Even the mightiest of warriors were once children, and all children eventually grow into teenagers. Here are a few stories of a few more than mere mortal teenagers as they go through the trials of high school.

I'm also developing an audiobook to go with it. Check out Chapter 1 on Youtube

Writing Prompt #10

Humans have been nearly annihilated for years; the world is now run by supernatural settlements led by species. Vampires tend to keep to themselves in low, covered areas and caves - sometimes fighting with the cave-dwelling goblins - while werewolves love to hunt in the forests. Mermaids have worked with orcs to increase waterways and passages for them to travel as nomads. Witches and wizards of all species form covens and clubs as they please.

You are tasked with keeping the peace between species, which is a tall order for an ordinary zombie like yourself.

Warning: OLD POST (will be replaced by a new one) Vampires (Midnight’s Pack)

Warning: This article may include heavier topics (blood, death, animosity between magical species, mentions of slavery etc.) - consider it before you continue.

Overview:

Overlords of the night and one of the most prominent beings in the world of “Midnight’s Pack”. Alongside magic-sensitive people, vampires are the oldest of all magical species in the world, resulting in vampires being mostly cold or even repulsive towards anyone they don't see as worthy of their good will.

Biology:

Vampires are almost human-looking beings, usually considered attractive and beautiful/handsome by the community.

Due to their lower body temperature, their skin has an “unhealthily” pale shade (which applies to dark-skinned ones, as well - their skin is dark yet yet with seemingly unhealthy shade) and their touch can be viewed as uncomfortably cold. They are more resistant to warm temperatures but they can easily get too cold, which is also the reason why you can spot vampires wearing significantly warmer clothes during cold days.

The most significant differences between them and normal humans are definitely big, sharp fangs (fun fact: most of vampires have only one pair of fangs but in rare occasions, the vampire can be born with two pairs of fangs - one pair in upper jaw, the other in the lower jaw) and eyes.

Speaking of the eyes, vampires are naturally born with blue irises (this also applies to dark-skinned ones) but they can change color depending on nutrition (we'll talk about the reason later).

A vampiric stomach is also very different from a human's: their organ is separated into two parts and one of them works almost the same as a human's stomach, the other accepts only the nutrition they receive from blood. Also, this side is significantly bigger, meaning that vampires technically don't need to eat normal food, although they do it to both avoid being too thin and to smell the taste of dishes.

Aging:

In the world of “Midnight’s Pack”, vampires aren't immortal like in most media, though they can live over the age of 1,000. Actually, they're aging for 30 years like humans and then the process gets significantly slower, which puts them into the "long-living magical species" category.

Abilities:

Despite being two oldest magical species, vampires and magic-sensitive people hold different magical abilities, although some of their powers might have almost or 100% the same result.

The most significant abilities include shapeshift into a bat, mist form, object/being levitation, mind control and mind reading (can be used only on non-vampires), super strength and speed, better healing, etc.

Compared to magic-sensitive people, vampires use their powers only non-verbally, as they’re mostly tight up to their will. Magic-sensitive people have to learn how to cast spells non-verbally and because it's difficult, there's only a few of them who can do so.

Unlike in most media, vampires in Midnight’s Pack can't turn humans into new vampires with their bite - and even if they were able to, vampires wouldn't do so, as most of them see humans as something even worse than other magical species.

Weaknesses:

Sunlight isn't fatal for vampires in Midnight’s Pack, however they can feel very dizzy without wearing a hat and without a suncream or an umbrella, some of them can even get an allergic reaction on their skin - it looks like a red rash that's itchy and hot, sometimes even painful at touch.

Their eyes are also pretty sensitive to sunlight, so most of the vampires wear sunglasses outside during the day. Without them, their eyes would become watery in reaction to irritation.

Garlic is something vampires are very afraid of, mainly because it causes even worse allergic reactions to their bodies than sunlight, so they avoid it as much as they can. This vegetable not only makes their throats swollen, but they can also irritate their stomach, resulting in a long time of vomiting.

In the worst case, they can get poisoned and… die.

And lastly, silver is the only metal that can hurt or kill all magical species and magical animals from Midnight’s Pack universe, for sure.

Nutrition & “Moonlight fangsberry”:

It was already mentioned that vampires have a very specific stomach with two parts: one that accepts normal food and one that only gets nutrition from blood. Also, the second-mentioned side is bigger, which results in vampires eating normal food only to avoid being too thin and to smell the taste of dishes.

Like in most media, vampires from the universe of Midnight’s Pack can drink blood to get the needed nutritions, however the law of the world has strict rules:

For example vampires can't just go and directly drink blood from somebody’s neck. Instead, they have to go and buy it from the hospitals.

Also, there are the rules about how many packs of blood vampires can buy, as blood might be needed elsewhere.

And of course, vampires can't buy too rare blood types.

Earlier in this chapter, it was stated that in Midnight’s Pack, the eyes of the vampires are naturally blue but can change to purplish blue, purple or even red through time. This is affected by hemoglobin, more specifically by iron that's in it (iron can become red in reaction with oxygen), as this protein can get in a vampire's body and change the colors of their irises.

However, there are still vampires, even adult ones, with clearly light blue eyes. These individuals decided not to drink blood, either because they feel guilty for drinking blood, because they hematophobic/hemophobic or because they just don't want to.

In these cases, there's a plant that's an alternative food for vampires in the world of Midnight's pack.

Moonlight fangsberry, what’s the plant called, is a unique fauna from the universe. A bush with a black wood, dark green leafs, white petals and big berries (about 15 centimeters long but can grow bigger). It's not only pretty unpretentious with the ability to adjust to almost every climate (although the plant was first found in the mountains), it's also 100% edible.

As M. fangsberry has the same nutritions as blood and the only thing that's missing is hemoglobin with its iron, it can't change vampire’s irises.

The plant itself has no specific smell or taste, so it’s usable in both salty and sweet dishes, or even in drinks.

Products made from M. fangsberry, for example crackers, bonbons, teas, lemonades, champagnes, etc. can be found both in the supermarkets or in small shops with stuff only for vampires.

Lifestyle:

Most vampires are wealthy, aristocratic descendants who own great mansions (each family even often owns more than 1 mansion) and a great number of known companies and factories.

As it was mentioned at the start of this article, a lot of vampires act cold, sometimes even repulsive towards anyone they don't see as worthy of their good will, which is almost every other species. Unfortunately, these opinions aren't just a thing older vampires believe in - actually, young vampires often share the negative view of different species and they might even be worse, as they usually struggle with keeping a permanent poker face and a neutral demeanor.

This is mostly affected by the fact that vampires from wealthy families are educated at home until the age of 15, then they're sent to private high schools - Diaemus Academy is known to be the most prestigious, as well as the most expensive vampire school in the world. Although their education is overall on a high level, there are still stereotypical thoughts of other species the teachers unintentionally or purposely spread, resulting in feeding these lies even more.

And it doesn't help that a lot of the vampires introduce these thoughts to their children when they're still little.

Most vampires meet other species at universities (which are only public in this world) for the first time but because they're mostly “brainwashed” from home and earlier education, about 95% of them is unable to form at least a neutral relationship with other species - the only exception are, of course, magic-sensitive people, because vampires consider them as equal to each other. This is affected by the fact a lot of scientists who developed important products for vampires, for example sun-protecting creams, were magic-sensitive people.

The biggest animosity mostly stays between vampires and werewolves - in the past, especially during medieval times, werewolves often worked as slaves or poorly-paid servants of the most wealthiest vampire families and even if the laws about same rights for everyone came, vampires still look down at the lycanthropes, mainly because of how unpredictable, wild and destructive they can become.

Werewolves also keep negative opinions of vampires, so it’s almost impossible to see friends or even multi-species couples.

If there are any positive, vampire-werewolf relationships, they are mostly between werewolves and middle-class vampire families (these families aren't common but they're not the rarest, either).

Trivia:

Vampires have a light liquid instead of blood - this means periods/menstrual cycles are a thing in vampires’ life, as well.

Vampires mostly wear dark clothes (black, dark purple, magenta, dark green, etc.), especially those from wealthy families - it's something they were wearing even in the ancient and medieval times. In the past, it was mostly because vampires were originally a nocturnal species and they didn't want to be spotted in the dark. Nowadays, it's mostly just a style and/or a “rule”.

Vampires celebrate national holidays, although in a very tamed way, and then specific events of their offsprings they consider “important and worthy of a great celebration”. Among these are for example birth, enrolling in a private high school, graduation, legal adulthood and marriage.

There are often multi-generational households among vampires - the most significant example of this are the Desrosiers.

Vampires’ eyes glow in the dark - they can also turn light pink (when they're shy/nervous in a romantic way) or black with white irises (when they're starving). These colors aren’t connected to their nutrition.

Wealthy vampires still sometimes have servants, including werewolf ones - even if they still don't like them as a species, vampires pay them well and don't actively treat them as sh*t (there are exceptions but not many - in these cases, werewolves usually just voluntarily quit the job).

One of the most significant werewolf servants in my story is a chef of the Desrosiers family, Roxanne Cantellow - she is a elder lady who has been working for Dorian for a long time. She took care of Ronan and Sorren (Dorian's sons) when they were little and she also wanted to help raise Valerian (Sorren's older son) - Val himself didn't want to, however. Roxy currently still takes care of Liam (she serves as a grandmother role to him, even) and even if Dorian constantly pisses her off (he's pretty bossy and arrogant), she's used to him and doesn't want to leave just because “His highness doesn't know what a proper behavior is but always commands people around him to be proper themselves”... And she's also grateful to Dorian's deceased wife Adriana for the job she gave her (the two of them surprisingly had a friendly relationship, despite Adriana being a very wealthy vampire and Roxy being “only” a werewolf chef).

By the way, Dorian is very aware he needs Roxanne - she can cook (Rosine can, too but she's mostly busy), does laundry, because she's most likely the most patient with him out of all members of the household, etc. ... he's secretly grateful for her being around, and not only due to her positive bond with Adriana.
