One of my favourite pieces is my antique blood letting chair. Unfortunately I haven't been able to share it because most platforms flag it but perhaps this is the social I can finally share on🖤💀

Today's song is BLOOD LETTING by GLITCHED featuring the Synthesizer V voicebank Gumi

Content warning: glitching/static effects, illustrated blood and gore, general themes consistent with vampire horror (blood drinking, weird interplay of sex and violence, etc)

Got a death date.

A place.

And a method.

Kinktober 9: Goes Gwari (Bloodplay)

Day Nine: Two ox peckers hire Ralph to set the scene for their mock-blood ritual. Probably my least favourite of the series, I had hoped to come back to it, and maybe I will down the line. I think I took a short break after this one. Full disclaimer: Not only did I not draw all of these in October, I also didn't even finish the series due to IRL stuff. But I DID do a bunch, and hopefully I'll finish off the rest down the line. The prompt list is based on :SpartaDog's kinktober list from 2022 Characters: The repeating characters in this series are Petroc the tyrannosaurid (mine), Jaxson the Parasaurolophus (Khurje), Tony the compsognathus and Ralph the ankylosaur (my partner's), the additional characters are all randoms. I also did not get a chance to double check the Kernerwek translations, so there's a very real chance some are utter nonsense.

people are always like "Oh a vampire wouldn't get horny while drinking someone's blood, that's like getting horny while eating a sandwich" and like man have you never had a really good fucking sandwich?

Leeches

Source: Sinai Park House website

Today is the most propitious day for blood-letting, a once popular medical treatment based on the belief that human blood contained toxins and ‘humours’ that were the cause of many common diseases and that periodically releasing a flow of blood, usually from the forearm, was both curative and preventive. As many people blanched at the thought of allowing a surgeon to open their veins, a less frightening alternative was the use of the common leech, a water-dwelling predatory worm. Not only did these parasitic bloodsuckers remove blood without the patient having to observe the flow directly, their secretions also contain an anaesthetic, making the whole process painless. Such was the popularity of leeches as alternatives to the knife, doctors often took to taking a jarful of leeches on their visits in case the need arose. The perjorative term for doctors of “leech” derives from this practice.

Belief in the benefits of blood-letting survived well into the twentieth century although the practice has now been debunked: blood loss is something to be avoided, not voluntarily sought out. However, the medicinal use of leeches has not entirely died out. As the creatures secrete an anti coagulant, they can still be used in vascular microsurgery by surgeons, to keep the patient’s circulation going when working on small blood vessels.

Simon’s home.

Which means he’s glued to your side.

You wouldn’t have it any other way.

The two of you are in a local bookstore, the shop having caught your eye while out on a stroll together, each of you going to your respective shelves to find your preferred genres.

Simon grabs the first novel he thinks sounds interesting, quickly snatching the book by its spine so that he can cross the few steps back to your side.

His eyebrows furrow when he notices how closely you’re holding a book up to your face, your own eyes squinting at the back cover.

“Havin’ trouble there, love?” He asks as he approaches.

“Can’t believe I let myself run out of contact lenses.” You reply, trying your best to decipher the blur of black ink on the pages.

“Could’ve worn your glasses.” He retorts, something he’d already suggested more than once since you ran out of your contacts and had to order new ones.

“You know I only like wearing them at home.”

“But you’re so cute in ‘em.”

“Yeah well, you’re the only one who thinks so.” You mumble under your breath, though Simon hears it of course, the crease in his brow deepening.

“Wha’s that supposed to mean?” He gruffs out.

“I just got teased a bit in school was all Si, typical kid stuff. Just stuck with me I guess, but it’s fine, I have my contact lenses.” You explain to him.

Simon considers your words for a moment, the gears evidently turning in his head, muscular arms crossed over his large chest.

“And do we know where these fuckin’ tossers are at now?”

“Oh my god Simon, don’t-”

“Have we got any names to work with?”

“That is not-”

“Any addresses?”

“You are not about to-”

“Pictures?”

“I was like ten years old-”

“S’alright lovie, we’ll dig up your yearbooks when we get home.” He simply says, plucking your book from your hands and heading towards the register to pay.
