Sexuality is key to the charm of the vampire, because drinking blood involves intimacy, an embrace, a penetration, and an ecstatic union with the victim while one is drinking blood. That's built in to the vampiric myth, the vampiric act, and just about any version of a vampire with his victim. And that is inherently metaphoric of the sex act. In my work, my vampires do not have biological sex with their victims. The act of drinking blood is their sex act and I develop that notion fully. ~ Anne Rice

Tips to Attract the Right Woman for a Lasting Relationship

1. Honesty

Tell her how you feel. Tell her what you want in life and ask her if she can make that happen with you. Speak from your heart, not because it's Valentine's Day and you have an agenda. The key is honesty. If it feels like love, courtship should be easy.

2. Good Grooming Habits

It is sometimes easy to forget, but if you want to attract women then it is important that you take care of your body. This means eating well and exercising. It also means being clean and not forgetting about taking care of your teeth or having bad breath. Women will be much more attracted to someone who takes good care of their body, mind, and spirit than someone who doesn't.

3. Loving personality

If you want to attract the right woman of your dreams, it is important that you first understand how women work. Women are attracted by a man's personality and they want someone who can offer them security and be an equal partner in life. The courtship process is not about chasing her, but instead, it is about being able to build up trust with each other.

4. Communication Skills

Communication skills are vital in any relationship, but they're especially important when it comes to attracting women. When interacting with your crush, be sure to listen as much as you talk and make eye contact. If she has something on her mind, ask her what's up. This will show her that you care about her thoughts and feelings. It'll also make her feel like she can come to you with anything.

Thinking about Adam Lives AUs and specifically the fact that you have to factor in 9/11 happening a day after the events of the movie. Like to give one example, if he spent even just one day in that bathroom alone before being rescued, it's like can you fucking imagine laying in the hospital bed. You've just come back from barely clinging to life. You now have a whole cocktail of trauma and shit to deal with. You can't stop thinking about that dilf. And then you find out they hit the fucking towers

No but "wannabe playboy falls in love with the nerdy girl at 16 and then spends the rest of his life obsessing over her" is a very very good dynamic

It honestly does not surprise me at all that Quinn and Logan were the ones who managed to make their relationship work outside of high school. Because the minute they started dating they immediately had that open line of communication DOWN.

They decided they were dating and then seconds later owned up to being embarrassed about it and problem solved.

Every time one did something to upset the other, they heard about it, usually almost immediately and they would talk it out.

Like for two teenagers who didn't have a lot of experience with a serious, long term relationship, they figured it out real quick. I could see them making things work as adults.

Blacked-Eyed Camera - A RadioStatic Fanfic Snippet.

The lights were too bright and it was making Alastor’s leg hurt.

Granted, the lights, themselves, weren’t the direct cause of the ache in his upper thigh, but their harsh brightness burned his eyes, made him sweat underneath the silk, red shirt he’d been dressed in, and was steadily drilling a headache inside his skull. The building discomfort throughout is body pulled his his attention to every other irritant as it made itself known. The sweat beginning to bead on the back of his neck. The sticky cling of his shirt. The dull pang behind his left eyes. The deep, throbbing ache inside his leg.

He fought the urge to dig his fingers into the meat of his thigh, to tear the pain directly out of his bones, and turned his face toward camera as a jaunty, bouncing theme song played through the speakers. Alastor leaned back into the soft blue armchair with a charming smile as Vox, seated behind his desk, spun around on his chair. He planted an arm on the sleek surface to stop himself as soon as he was facing the front of the set.

“And welcome back viewers to Vox 2 Nite,” he said with flourish, greeting the cold, black-eyed lens of the camera stationed in front of them with a dashing smile. His voice was fast and full of boisterous energy. Stimulating in a way to grab his invisible audiences’ attention and quick enough to force them to pay close attention to catch his every rapid-fire word.

“We’ve got a special show for you tonight, folks. Hell’s first, in-depth look into the catastrophic event that racked our beloved, damnable city. We at Vox News know our beloved viewers have been frothing at the mouth for the details, and we’re delighted to finally shed some heavenly light on the subject.” Vox’s expression became coy in a way that implied the juicy details of a tantalizing secret. One that he was all to eager to spill, if only someone asked. “But first, let me introduce you to my co-host.”

He turned to Alastor and the curve of his smile crawled up his screen in what could only be described as pure, vicious delight. Alastor forced himself to relax as he curled his hands on top of his cane, fitting them so perfectly around the curve of the microphone that it was if it’d been molded specifically to his touch. Which, in way, it had. It’d been a constant companion of his since his arrival in Hell, always in reach and always reliable.

He used it’s reliability to ground himself now. To keep his hands from grasping his thigh and squeezing the pain out of his nerves. He looked away from Vox, back toward the camera, and fought back a wince as the harsh lights bored down at him. His headache panged.

“Say hello to Alastor, the most recent addition to the Vee’s,” Vox introduced him. The emphasis on “Vee’s” is subtle. A faint press on the word that's barely noticeable, but Alastor saw it for what it was. An intentional jab. A needling reminder of where he was and who he was with.

As if he could forget.
