Hello hello hello! I remember you did an imagine where there was a priest with reader who was some sort of vampire? The priest was wondering why the reader wouldn’t drink blood or something and the reader was scared of hurting anyone

Tawney: I’m not sure if I ever wrote that? You can check out the vampire and priest tags. 

The only priest characters I can recall writing for are Fathers Karras (The Exorcist) and Thomas (City of the Living Dead).

Lyssavirus Hemophagia Variant (LHV)

LHV is a highly virulent mutated form of rabies virus that has evolved to infect humans. This virus is particularly dangerous as it attacks the host's blood cells and vital fluids, leading to severe anemia and a constant need for replenishment through blood and interstitial fluids.

It can be transmitted through bites from infected individuals, and once it enters the bloodstream, it rapidly replicates. The virus undergoes a painful process of taking over the body and brain. Symptoms can appear within a short time frame of just a few hours, or it can take up to several days to slowly progress.

Physical Symptoms: extreme pain all throughout the body, fever, muscle spasms, vomiting of blood, and a burning sensation in the skin.

Psychological Symptoms: paranoia, confusion, anxiety, visual and auditory hallucinations, irritability, and hydrophobia.

These symptoms can be overwhelming and may be too much for some individuals to handle, particularly children, the elderly and those with compromised immune systems, leading to fatal outcomes.

One of the unique features of LHV is that infected individuals are unable to tolerate sunlight, which can cause severe blisters, burns, and lesions on the skin. This sensitivity to sunlight may be due to the virus's effect on the host's immune system, which becomes weakened as the virus continues to replicate and destroy blood cells.

It is important to note that infected individuals are fully aware of their actions. However, they are unable to control their behavior and are driven by the virus's need for survival. Infected individuals are extremely violent and aggressive and should be avoided at all costs.

Currently, there is no known cure for LHV.

Contemplating: Undead Philosophy

The first thing you have to realize is that the human brain only has space for the thinga it can or wants to hold on to. If you choose to remember something, it will hold. Now when we add immortality and a curse or primal urge to the equation then what we get is just an elongation of the human condition.

Realistically the two things terrible about being immortal and cursed are A) the obvious downsides of the curse, such as cannibalistic hemophagia or just straight cannibalism, and B) the memories of those youve built lives with dying while leaving you to face forever without them.

Put a pin in A, as its obvious, and lets address the stupidity of B. Death is something we all learn to accept and grow around as we age, and many a old person is more comfortable with death as a concept for others around them. Granted, the loneliness of the eldery is strong and those relationships all have meaning but one can make a strong case for modern sensibilities of how we date and move on, or how we build comfortable long term relationships with people who share our lifespan and enjoy the comfort pattern.

Now we take the immortals who pair and while all relationships have their ups and downs, living forever gives you more time to work around and develop more positive habits if you truly love and want to be with another person. A stone in a river will polish and smooth over time, and while people dont think that diamonds could have similar smoothing, if you leave anything in a tumbler long enough it will smooth out.

On friendships and other relationships, found family and transitional friendships are equally a part of our society, from school to higher education, from adoption and supportive friend groups who teach more isolated and naive people of abuse and misinformation, all these things build and ingratiate us to the human condition and make us want to know and see more even when we are older and in our comforts because the comforts do hide snakes sometimes, such as an unwillingness to learn or grow from disinterest or becoming jaded with the darker sides of society, walling ourselves away and pushing back against the world, but the truth of even that is in time and chance. Eventually, someone will come along and break down those walls and show us a better way to live, and when one or more of the people in this scenario are immortal, it means that there is more wisdom and want to live more of that life thats been put down for a time.

Now, back to A: a curse is navigable within reason, such as eating cadavers or drinking blood without killing the donor, but obviously it wouldn't be a curse if it was so easily worked around. The true nature of the curse could be anything from a tangible force compelling negative actions as a tie to the immortality, to a psychosomatic compulsion convincing oneself to commit atrocities as a means to cope or justify having more life; balancing the scales as it were.

Regardless, these things are either a indicator of antisocial and borderline personality tendencies or are harsh and insurmountable challenges to a sound mind, and are likely the real reason immortals would fall apart at the seams. Most scenarios have the immortal dehumanize their prey, making them cattle in their eyes, or monsterize themselves and classify themselves as something more than human and thus justifying the act either in virtue or vice.

There are cases of the avenging monster, those who kill criminals and wrong-doers as labelled by society in order to justofy their existence and excuse their actions, though many societies avoid the death penalty because they do not agree with this sentiment and it paints the immortal in question as more immoral by ignoring this line of thought for long periods of time.

A third, less common option is disassotiation, where the immortal would simply let things happen as they do and not file themselves into the morality of society in any manner. Floating through actions and doing things as needs demand is a practical hedonism for such beings, and makes them more like an animal than a rationalization of thier actions as they cling to a normal moral compass.

An even less common thought I would put to the test is the experimentation angle, submitting the immortal by their own volition to science to avoid a phyrric victory against the curse element of the immortal's being by simply dying. This could lead to a narrative of either better preventing death from undead interactions or the curing/improving of the immortal's condition. The only exploration of this that comes to mind was part of the Buffy/Angel whedonverse where they experimented on monsters and the character Spike, for all their still persistent flaws, became more like a person and less of a vampire through their arc. A flawed example, but one that touches the thought.

In some summation, I think that while it is perfectly reasonable to maintain the harsh drawbacks of undeath as a means of character building it is equally unnecessary to build some suffering immortal, alone and disenchanted with living as those aspects are easily wiped away with any fundamental knowledge of human interactions. That being said, a story can create any kind of character as long as the logic works and I personally would love to be a kind hearted chupacabra with a large goat farm and being well known for how well I've butchered my meat for the past 800 years.

Challenge #03020-H097: With Stone Tools

The Vorax were stranded on a planet with several humans, both ships having been taken down by an unexpected solar flare of significant intensity. Due to the fact this was a survival situation, the two factions, for now, put aside their differences to work together. These Vorax, like many others, had heard stories of humans and their abilities. But it really did not hit home how true these stories were, until they insisted on going with the humans to hunt prey animals to avoid starvation. -- Fighting Fit

"So... you put down your disruptor and I put down my tanglenet and we go kill animals for food like civilised beings?" said Human Hal. As far as peace treaties were concerned, it was very basic.

"Need food. Weapon ruining food. You much better getting food whole." Vorax holsters did not have lock-in straps on them, but this one put their disruptor away and moved their clothing to make ready access more difficult. They then stared at the other tools that Hal was holding. "Stone tools?"

"If stupid and working, not stupid," said Hal, switching to GalSimple. They offered a spear. "You wanting?"

The Vorax took it cautiously. "Short for stabbing," they allowed.

I OVULATED ON HALLOWEEN

Now that I’ve got your attention, happy belated All Saints’ Day, Día de los Muertos, etc. Ended up not having time to get a costume so I wore what I usually wear. And a witch hat. I don’t live in a particularly well-lighted area, so I held a lantern for the trick-or-treaters. Otherwise I would have blended into the shadows. 

We also watched Queen of the Damned all the way through. (The first time I just made it to the part where Lestat was going “AAAH, AAAH, AAAH” at band practice.) Because I can’t watch the Interview with a Vampire reboot immediately. 

“THIS is the film Twilight drank from.”

Jesse: “All I knew was that I was being cast out.” “Yeah, because your doll collection. It scares us.”

“I think she’s a bottle redhead, Tawney.” “Why would you say that? Maybe she only died her eyebrows and nothing else at all.”

*Marius vampirizes Lestat* “That’s the weirdest way to start dating someone.”

“His nip/ples aren’t hard. Because he’s dead.”

*Lestat and Marius do corpse disposal via bonfire* “‘Do you have any marshmallows, Marius?’”

*Lestat finds secret entrance* “That’s where his doll collection is.”

Lestat: *drinks Akasha’s blood* Marius: “What have you done, Lestat?” “Found your doll collection.”

Lestat: “For what you do I yearn?” “I thought he said ‘urine.’”

*Lestat and Marius at the former’s shirtless billboard* “They’re at his crotch.”

Marius: “You’ve awakened an old friend.” “Elvis?”

“They all look so silly.” “I can’t take you to an early 2000s S&M club because we’d start laughing and they’d kick us out.”

*Lestat and Akasha rocket off into the sky* “Marius is jealous.”

“Who goes to bed-?” “Who goes to bed in tight leather pants? That can’t be comfortable.”

*Lestat stares at all the dead bodies around the pool* “Must have been some party.”

“So [Akasha]’s like a groupie?” “She’s the first vampire.” “But she only likes him because of his music.” “Okay.”

“They don���t even get names. They’re [just] Jesse’s weird family.”

Akasha: “You kill me, you kill yourselves.” “Well, at least [Lestat] can get a tan now.”

*Akasha turns to dust* “Does anyone know where the supply closet is?”

“This makes me not want to be a vampire.” “Yeah, the-” “They’re too petty.”

Also, birthday was good. Got some cool things:

Dinotopia Bix plush (Present to myself. Shoutout to @judge-m0rt1s for mentioning he saw it for $12 on eBay.)

“In Darkness We Grow” mushroom enamel pin

heart-shaped hairbrushes 

cranberry-colored hoodie (I’ve been painting my nails the same color. Been on a red violet kick lately. It’s the best juice. I like blending cranberries with honey and mylk.)

black cross earrings

Song of the day: “Linger” by the Cranberries.
