[maskedrealities]

I’m easily annoyed with others. This is an extremely bad habit of mine that I struggle to work past. I understand that everyone has different ideals and preferences, but once this goes down to being a bigot and judging someone’s identity, it makes me easily annoyed and rightfully so.

It’s annoying how other beings will see someone else that is different to them and judge them like they can pass judgement. No, you do not know what that person has done or been through. You cannot ask personal questions and expect an answer as an answer isn’t required to be given. Personal space and boundaries still exist in online communities.

For someone to ask me:

“Well, you look like a woman, so you can’t be intersex. Have you just transitioned?” I’m not required to answer and you cannot tell if someone is or isn’t intersex or trans just by looking at them, don’t assume to further your bigotry towards intersex individuals.

“You’re intersex? You can’t be! Just because you look androgynous doesn’t mean you’re intersex!” Yet you aren’t aware of my chromosomes, what I deal with. Why are people so concerned with someone being intersex if they’re perisex?

My experiences shouldn’t be undermined just because I look, sound, or act a certain way. The gender binary/trinary doesn’t need to exist, stop trying to put me and others into a box to fit your narrative

Others ask me things extremely personal related to my non-humanity. Such as:

“What made you want to identify as such? What happened?” Trauma and dehumanization. That’s all you need to know about.

“What are the details?” None of you concern, frankly. My trauma is mine to know, not yours to weaponize or to use as a means to claim my experiences are fake.

I know what it’s like to be interested in wanting to pick someone’s brain apart, but that doesn’t mean you ever have to act on it. You are able to ask these questions to yourself. If they sound invasive to you, don’t ask them. It is not “simply getting to know someone” but asking questions that might make someone feel unsafe and uncomfortable around you.

No one is required to answer any sort of question. In person, online, anywhere. And if you are the type of person that gets angry when someone doesn’t answer a question that they don’t want to… then I’d suggest self-reflecting and being a better individual. It’s like getting angry at someone for saying “no.”

A question has an underlying question of consent. Such as “how are you doing today?” I am able to tell you how I am, which gives you consent for knowing. Or I can avoid answering you as I don’t feel it appropriate to tell you or for other reasons, which would be equal to a “no, don’t ask/Id like space.”

So, please, understand that everyone is a being, a living breathing part of the world we all live in. Don’t treat them badly just because you can’t get information out of them that you want to know as a stranger. There is nothing bad with getting to know someone and slowly building a relationship and seeing if those questions could be asked, but also understand how you can still be supportive and a bigot.

Vamp Appreciation Week 2023 | Day 2: Favorite Vampire/Non-Vampire Dynamic ➜ Matthew de Clermont & Diana Bishop, A Discovery of Witches (2018 - 2022)

My love. With you in my life, there's a beginning, a middle and an end. When you're gone, my life will be over.

[the-dread-quinn]

You don’t need to lift a finger, my darling. I’ll do the dirty work. I’d gladly bleed and tear apart those who dare to steal your gaze from me, so all you have is the sight of my sweet doe eyes.

Ok I know I'm heavily biased here but like I kinda love that Astarion's romance is one of the few in this type of video game where you basically end up canonically unmarried and childfree in his "good" ending? Just travelling the world??

Like it's honestly the millennial dream lmfaoo cannot believe i chose what would undoubtedly be my favorite option, first try

[v4mpiirew1tch]

guys would i be cringe if i wanted to write a completely seperate agere fic where katsuki’s regressed to 1 years old and izuku(!!) is taking care of him, but

throughout the day kacchan seems more and more fussy for seemingly no reason—he’s already bottle fed him, played his favorite cartoons, he’s done everything. but near the end of the day as izuku’s bouncing kacchan in his arms, he suddenly burps……..izuku realizes that he was just cranky from being full of air from drinking his bottle earlier, and izuku forgot to burp him (〃´∀｀)

Update: Things are a little off this week

So I wanted to give ya'll an update and let you know why there's not been a restock preview yet for tomorrow's drop. :[ After I got back from my trip, my baby dog has been having a very rough time with a bad skin issue (we're now pretty sure it's contact dermatitis from her groomer using a new shampoo). We've been in and out of the vet, having to keep a close eye on her at all times because she keeps scratching the irritated area & making it bleed (it's between her shoulder blades so the issue is scratching with her back paws, a cone or whatever else can't stop this) even after we got her some lidocaine spray. So far it's just been getting worse and spreading, but now that we suspect it was the new shampoo we're getting her bathed again today with a medicated sensitive shampoo in the hopes that it'll get rid of whatever chemical has been causing the irritation and allow her skin to start healing up. But no surprise with all that, I've been having a hard time focusing on anything else other than trying to take care of her. So just a heads up that my partner and I are both struggling a bit to have any spoons left right now to keep up with the shop. Here's some shop updates so everyone can know what to expect: -The next batch of ready-to-ship orders will head out tomorrow. These got put off earlier in the week because of needing to suddenly take Jolene to the vet, and at the time we weren't at all thinking about the post office being closed today for Juneteenth. So we'll pack them today and take them tomorrow. -There will still be a restock, but it will be a very limited selection. My priority is still to release Ascension and Efflorescense ready-to-ship tomorrow. Originally I wanted to have some more items go up along with them, but with everything that's been going on I just haven't gotten any of that organized in time. The only thing I know I can add for sure is that we got the reprinted, correct Queen of Wands Reversed Crop Tops in the mail recently. So I can at least restock those now. -This week's tarot video is definitely at risk of being dropped from my schedule. I feel pretty bad about missing a week less than a month in to doing them, but I also have to realize that it's incredibly inconsequential to get those out "on time". Since so much other stuff has been backlogged into needing to be done today/tomorrow, I literally may not have enough daylight in order to film a video for this week. Much less the time and brainpower to edit it :[ Thanks for understanding, and hopefully things will be back to normal shortly!

1. Vampirism as a Condition

Its finally here folks, My long awaited and long Text attempt at writing up something I've promised for a little while

This will be based on more personal experience and the experience of a primarily sanguine Vampyre, there may be a few mentions of other feeding methods here and there

(as far as I know) There is a word limit so I shall try to cram as much in as possible here!

Lengthy and somewhat messy post under the divider (Credit: here!)

Feeding:

Yes we drink blood, or at least the Sanguinarians and Medsangs do, some feed on energy, some feed on both and much more.

There is a genuine Need when it comes to "IRL" vampirism, sure it won't kill us but it makes it incredibly hard to function properly sometimes and the symptoms can be intense.

Now the symptoms are different from vampyre to vampyre so I can't give an exact list...

Some symptoms however can be found Here!

How it may feel to feed Here!

(Thank you: as-others-were, and sauromatos )

What Causes Vampirism:

It has yet to be proven but the general agreed on consensus here is that for some unknown reason A vampyres body either fails to or cannot produce a specific thing it needs well on its own, for Sanguinarians my guess is Something in heme iron is what gives them what they need and as heme often equates to blood, its the most logical thing to consume and also gives us the most of this energy that we need, for psychic vampires it's theorised something in prana (aka a person's life force) is what gives them the energy they need.

Despite what some "Fluffier" sources may tell You, this is not parasitic behaviour, we are not to be shunned/feared/ to be constantly protected from! more often than not the Vampyre and Thier Feeding partners/ Donors can come to a symbiotic agreement! Though many who can detect our energy signature do have some form of stigma or are otherwise unnerved around us.

More in this type of feeding relationship sort of in This post.

See This post For more details as to possibly why.

See This post As to a funky theory that it's also possibly something to do with our eyes,

no it's not the scleric ring theory!

(Thank you to: fugamextenebrae and Confessionsofabloodfreak )

it is also theorised that vampires suffer a damaged solar plexus and thus cannot adequately hold on to or break down the energy they need well themselves due to this.

Vampirism is not thought to be genetic nor can someone be "turned" in the sense you may be thinking, there is however something known as the awakening.

The Awakening:

Despite what you may be thinking The Awakening is not a 100% sudden occurrence! Sometimes it takes the individual Vampyre several "mini awakenings" before the true realisation/ finally ignoring the doubt happens and the confirmation and learning process can begin proper.

The Awakening itself is hard to describe to non vampiric, but is often explained as some form of realisation or coming into ones own, generally around or just after puberty (some can be much earlier and some can be much much later) where the individual realises that they need said energy source to remain "fit and healthy" in a sense, an unawakened Vampyre or Vampyre coming into thier awakening is often called a "latent".

Usually, being around other vampyres is said to be the catalyst that leads to an awakening, however in some cases, be it lack of vampyres in an individuals area or other external factors, this is not entirely needed. And some vampyres can awaken solely on their own, this is said to be a slower process however...

Are Vampyres Spiritual:

Many of us are, yes but not all of us, first and foremost, Vampirism is not a religion!

Ones vampirism can be incorporated into spiritual practice or Those who are not vampyres but have weak energy systems, can still practice vampirism and are willing to do so spiritually!

Many but not all vampyres are attracted to Predatory spirituality at some point in there lives, vampyres are more instinctual, after all but not all vampyres do this, some are pagan or wiccan, some are Buddhist, etc etc some aren't even spiritual at all!

(more on predatory spirituality and how it equates, Here! And Here! Thank you: fugamextenebrae and Xerxeswitch )

Common misconceptions:

-We have reflections, can be filmed and have our pictures taken

-we do not set on fire or burn to ash in sunlight, hower some of us do suffer heatstroke more easily or are more prone to sunburn and eye strain in strong sunlight

-Stakes to the heart will kill us, but they'll kill pretty much anything

-Religious symbols and other holy items do not bother us, however there is a theory that faith can bother some of us, but that is just a theory, we do not spontaneously combust on church ground

-we can mostly wear silver and eat garlic, allergies do exist though

-we are not immortal and live and die as you do

-we can get sick, we are not living corpses despite the fact we may look "dead" sometimes (I am not a morning person lol)

-we do not have Supernatural superpowers, however some of us do have well developed clair senses

-we are chill with "werewolves"

-Animals do not hate us more than anyone else, however there is a theory some animals are sensitive to odd energy signatures so may behave a little strange in our presence (prolonged eye contact, overly friendly etc)

-we can cross running water (if it's shallow or we can swim lol)

-we can enter places uninvited but it's common courtesy and manners to be invited in anyway

-many of us do not "bite", let alone hard enough to puncture skin, we are still biologically human and bites can and often will cause infections, rather we use sterile tools should we need blood or substitutes

-we do not die without the ingestion of blood/ prana etc, we can also eat human food

-we don't all "get off" on blood, though some of us vamps can have a fetish for blood, fangs or biting, we're biologically human after all and there's no harm in it!

-we look just like any other human and no we don't sparkle (unless we use body glitter or something)

I think that's everything really!

For stuff I didnt cover, please check the "general living Vampirism" section of my Important posts as it may be there!

More posts like this possibly in the future!
