Got an Idea

In the world of "Bite Me" vampires are real tiny parasitic things, right? But they're still vampires. Does that mean there are people like paranormal hunters or something? There's so much potential in these...

THIS IS A GREAT QUESTION!

So to avoid spoilers I'm going to be pretty vague-

Vampires in the Bite Me universe are abnormal but not paranormal (though I will be doing a paranormal au because there is SO MUCH potential so by all means I can try to answer some more trad vampire stuff if talking about the potential au).

THOUGH- that doesn't mean that the tiny lil bloodsucking activity has gone completely unnoticed right? I mean, Aedes can't possibly be the only vampire who's been caught...

A BIT MORE ELABORATION

Vampires are completely normal biologically speaking, in that they don't have supernatural powers. The vampires in the Bite Me universe are essentially just a type of well adapted parasite. Some lil tidbits about their biology-

⚠ Nerd Alert ⚠

They are nocturnal- and hunt at night. Their eyes are adapted for low light conditions, though they can still move freely in the light.

They have an instinctual fear towards light (feels open, the feeling of being watched etc...) essentially to avoid predation by animals or being spotted by humans

Vampires have keen senses (hearing, smell, taste, sight) and phenomenal reaction time in order to help hunt. With their processing speed and keen senses, unless you catch one in the act or manage to corner/trap one, vampires are extremely hard to catch by just grabbing (cough cough, unless a certain lil someone likes to be grabbed) His senses dull when not in active "bloodlust" in order to keep the mind from being perpetually overwhelmed by everything all at once, though even dulled they are remarkably keen.

They are stronger than humans (relatively speaking), and quite durable. They have a high density of fast twitch muscles that helps further bolster their reaction time.

I've dabbled with the possibly of them having mild electroreception (basically in order to have a 6th sense towards heart beats as the muscle contracts) BUUUT I want to play around with the speculative biology with that. Mammals don't typically have an electrosense (more of a fish thing) but there are exceptions- yet those are still water based (with the semi exception of the echidna) so I'd have to do some pretty hefty playing around if I wanted to make it work.

They're allergic to garlic (along with a lot of other foods). Carnivorous, especially blood based parasitic diets leave an organism with an extremely reduced gut (Fun fact, theres actually a reason behind Aedes' slutty lil waist 😭) so they typically lack the ability to digest some harsher irritants, garlic being a big one. The smell is also extremely pungent so, yes, it absolutely will keep Aedes away (though it would have to be crushed)

Vampires in Bite Me do have one ability that feels almost supernatural- they are natural mimics. Vampires have incredible vocal control and ranges. This is incredibly useful to both ward off predators and lure in prey. Because of this- there are some typical tactics they use to avoid being caught (Some in more remote regions will mimic a rattlesnake rattle to deter a person from coming closer if they get spotted- and are usually able to slip away while the human calls pest control). This skill has led to both folklore and urban legends, about weird sounds occurring in strange locations. With their speed and skills in avoiding detection, a person would likely assume their house is haunted well before thinking theres a little vampire running around their house

Typically their bite is mildly numbing- though a very small number of people have a mutation that makes the numbing nearly completely ineffective (June being one of them). In that case, the numbing tends to work against its intended purpose- the numbing instead being noticeably tingling, and without the numbing agent, the anticoagulation factors and vasodilators within the saliva increase sensation in tandem with the increased bloodflow to the bite area, as well as giving the overall area a warm sensation.

WHEW

That was a chunky lore dump.

hii taking you up on your advice offer 😭 ur poly so maybe u have more experience with this than me, how would i break up with my longterm partner?

we’ve been dating for 2 years, it really has seemed perfect but lately idk its just felt wrong. we’ve kinda planned our lives around eachother and moving in together once we graduate, but i cant make myself want to kiss them or be romantic anymore, i dont want to respond to their texts, i get annoyed at them for no reason. they havent done anything wrong theyre wonderful its a “its not you its me” situation to a T.

all of our friends are mutual friends, but most of them were technically my friends first (all the people they used to hang out with sucked) so im scared if we break up they wont have anyone to talk to about it. i really dont want to hurt them.

i honestly might realize this is just me being dumb and all of this will pass and ill want to be with them still once it does, but since i have no clue how id break it off i feel so trapped. i want to know i have a way out if things dont get better, i want to stay with them because i truly changed my mind not because i didnt have a choice.

Not in a poly sense but just a “have had a few relationships” sense I guess I can offer advice.

So I’ve never actually broken up with anyone before, except for the last guy I was messing around with (Catboy) just because as much as I had sooo much feelings for him it was like the most unhealthy “relationship” for me. Like I finally realized like “oh I’m actually NOT better off seeing him, my mental health is ACTUALLY worse” because of his shenanigans.

However, I did have a long term partner who I dated for 6 years who we had plans to move in together and get married etc. same kind of deal, all their friends were my friends. And they dumped me, and yeah, it was really fucking hard even though I knew everyone was going to take my side. And the one person who didn’t I ended up not speaking to anymore because I was like if you’re not going to realize that I’m the only one whose going to keep talking to you because my ex doesn’t give a shit about keeping in contact with people, then that’s on you.

I was devestated. This was like 3 years ago at this point and pretty much right up until about this year I felt like I was somehow “living in the wrong timeline” and like my entire life’s trajectory had been pulled out from underneath me. Not from the breakup so much as them just deciding they never wanted to speak to me again, that I was bad for their mental health, etc. which I always told them if I’m ever bad for your mental health then break up with me, and I meant it and stand by that and their decision, but it still fucking hurt.

Like if that’s what they had to do that’s what they had to do. If that’s what you have to do then that’s what you have to do. While I am of course resentful to my ex, and I hope they get hit by a car or something sometimes, I do stand by their decision that if I wasn’t good for them then I’m happy they left me behind. I don’t know if other people are going to have that same view upon being dumped. I mean like I said I still hate them. But to say that they should have stayed with me for my sake is hypocritical.

Not only that, but an issue of intimacy was occurring between us during the lead-up to the breakup. And as soon as I wasn’t with them anymore and I was able to be with Catboy instead I got a taste of what I had been missing and GOD it felt so good. For the first time ever I felt like someone actually wanted to be intimate with me. It was an amazing feeling. My ex dumping me opened up the door for me to have things I was missing in that relationship. So it wasn’t all bad, for sure.

You have to do what you have to do for yourself. You come first. If you need to break up with your partner, or take space, or whatever, you just have to go for it if you really think it’s what’s best for you.

love your takes soooo much!

i can't help but notice astrid and joan redforn were very rose-coded love interests (astrid was just a bit of flirting but still), if you ever have the time (and wanted to) i would love to read your thoughts on what role they play in ten/tentoo and rose's relationship...and if you think he ever told her about them 👀

if not, i did also want to thank you for helping me appreciate tentoo and rose so much more than i did when i first watched :)

aw thank you! 🙈💗

oh god, do not get me startedd you will regret this 😂

i don't think joan is rose coded at all, honestly. i think she's rather the opposite of her. racist, judgemental, boring. but that doesn't really matter because the doctor did not love joan because he is not john smith. and more so, joan did not love the doctor. that's the important part of it. i think joan is, honestly, a stand in for rose to show the audience that he wants to be human, that he actively craves that. it's not about joan as a person, which is also part of the problem.

a really interesting parallel to me is when he asks joan to look into his eyes and see him, but she can't and looks away. just that stark contrast to rose putting her hand over tentoo's heart and looking into his eyes, seeing him and obviously believing him. because rose intristically knows him, remember "rose would know." is about rose knowing the right thing to say, it's about her understanding him even if she doesn't know every little aspect of his traumatic past and how she made the present and future have value and excitement.

in s3 the doctor is absolutely drowning (which is why he needs a break from being himself) in his grief of having lost rose, to him losing her was essentially a death and him inviting joan, to me, reads as him searching for rose in other people, because he didn't take the chance to offer his hearts to her when he had the chance and for what? he loved and lost anyway and that is absolutely something he carries with him up until his regeneration.

i can see him telling rose about joan and the entire situation if/when she ever worried about him feeling "trapped" or wanting to leave (which i can see jackie putting in her head bc of her own insecurities which we hear in the audios) but i think there is a lot that isn't focused on, especially his journals:

i absolutely lose my mind at these. especially "i find myself wanting to draw a perfect rose over and over." and "i know face, i know she is my-" this is something that is glossed over but my god, think how massive this is. he had his memories wiped so deeply that he forgot himself, that he can't even remember what the tardis is called, but he remembers HER name. he cannot stop dreaming about her, drawing her. even here he could not escape his love for her, even here there was no respite. THAT is what i think he would tell her. and yes, about joan in the reality of it - how it never occured to him that john would fall in love because he was already so in love with her. but all those things he wanted as john smith are things that live inside him and always did BECAUSE of rose and because of how human she made him, and that's why rose is the only person he could ever live a happy human life with.

i think rose would be jealous and maybe a little hurt, because that's who she is, but i think she would also feel like... how could someone NOT want him? that would floor her. because she doesn't just want the john smith bits, she wants the doctor. she wants all of him and that's what makes them special.

(and tbh, i headcanon that before the cannon started working rose had a meltdown and gave up for a few weeks and had a one night stand with a guy that sort of reminded her of the doctor from a certain angle and was nice but it was unsatisfactory and left her feeling even lonelier- so they're kinda even. remember rose is around 24 in journey's end. they were seperated a while, esp on her end 😭)

i think astrid would be more amusing because she definitely IS rose coded and a lot of it is her flirting with him and him sort of floundering about it, but it being nice to not wanna die for a second too and he enjoyed her company because she reminded him of rose. which i think rose would probably preen about until she finds out astrid also died 💀 like my man COULD NOT get a win!

tldr, i think for their relationship to work (and of course it does) he would have to be honest with her about everything: from her making jack immortal, to donna losing her memories, to everything that happened while they were apart with her being honest about her life in return, BUT i also think that their relationship is largely about healing and living in the present so i don't think they would dwell those things per se. i think their hardest obstacles would be the ptsd they both probably still have about being seperated/apart and, for a while, the fact that ten is losing his absolute mind while they're so happy together. that would be hard. but i think they're just so magnetic and drawn to each other that they can't help but find themselves happy and wrapped up in each other.

hiya, bestie!! i hope you’re having a lovely weekend 🫶🏼 for the fic prompt, maybe 5 + jwds? 🫠 (sorry, if i’m making your saturday more angsty 🥹😭)

hiii lin!!! thank you for the prompt!! // from these prompts

Sometimes, when it feels too easy, Joo Won thinks he’s drowning.

Or maybe drowning isn’t the right word: sometimes, he feels like he’s that child again, hovering by the edge of the stairs and staring down at some scene that he simultaneously doesn’t and does recognize. He knows that there are people involved, people who he should know. A man who plays his father, a woman who plays his mother, all of them actors in a play or dolls in a miniature house. They play Family, or they play at Husband, Wife, and Son, and they all have the kind of ending that leaves the audience reaching for tissues or squeezing the hands of their loved ones a little tighter.

And meanwhile, Joo Won remains trapped in that play: still frozen by the stairs, watching two people act out their lines. Something is about to happen—someone is going to leave again, whether it be the father who only ever looked at his makeshift family like they were backroom plaques on the wall, or the mother who only ever rotated between health care facilities to avoid looking at her life in the eye.

Something is about to happen, he thinks when he’s pulled out from sleep.

He doesn’t remember crying, but his eyes are damp and his muscles are tired, and Dong Sik is peering down at him with equal parts concern and something else that Joo Won still can’t name yet. He wants to, always, but when it feels too easy, Joo Won thinks he’s a child again.

For a breath, Joo Won just stares up at Dong Sik, at warm eyes and a mouth already starting to form the words are you okay, and he thinks, someone is going to leave again.

He responds to Dong Sik by curling towards him, and thankfully, Dong Sik is indulgent enough to let him in. There’s only the rustle of blankets and the quiet murmurs of hang on, lemme readjust—and then there’s an arm keeping him in place, a hand smoothing out his spine.

“Do you want to talk about it?” Dong Sik asks, his voice barely more than a sigh in the dark.

“Not tonight,” Joo Won replies.

He feels the rumble of Dong Sik’s acknowledgement, the tightening of the arm around his shoulders. It feels easy, sometimes. Like this, cradled away from the rest of the world. He has no idea how Dong Sik can find it this easy, to just open his doors and his bed and his life, day by day by day just because Joo Won came back.

Aren’t you worried, Joo Won thinks. That someone is going to leave.

He doesn’t know how many minutes pass, but enough of them do when Dong Sik whispers again, “What is it?”

It occurs to Joo Won then that Dong Sik had known he wasn’t falling asleep. He thinks about nights when Dong Sik might have lain awake while Joo Won was sleeping, wonders if Dong Sik had been the one to watch the rise and fall of his chest and listen to the deepness of his breath.

“How do you do it?” Joo Won asks, and he has to keep his eyes closed because he still can’t bring himself to look at Dong Sik. (His father never looked at him; his mother never looked at her own life without the lens of alcohol.) “How did you ever forgive me?”

They listen to the wind outside, a mourning dove calling out their first few notes before Dong Sik says, “How do you mean?”

“I was gone,” Joo Won replies. “Three times, when I should have stayed.”

“You didn’t have to,” Dong Sik says after a moment.

“But I should have.”

“I understood why,” Dong Sik says. “You were forgiven the second you walked away.”

Joo Won’s throat tightens. He is a child again, staring down at a scene, only now the scene is the two of them curled together in this bad.

“I didn’t know that,” he says.

“I didn’t know you were still worried,” Dong Sik murmurs.

But Joo Won worries. He doesn’t know what it means to actually worry about leaving someone because he’d never had someone to leave to begin with, and he worries about what it might mean if he’d left Dong Sik behind before. If that establishes a pattern, ever, if years down the line, he’ll turn into a monster that’s embedded deep in his genome. He can’t hold a grudge against his mother anymore, he knows that she’d married a monster to begin with, and Dong Sik isn’t a monster—but there is Han Ki Hwan, there is the Han family.

“I don’t know if I can forgive,” Joo Won whispers. “I don’t know if I can forgive myself. For leaving.”

He can’t open his eyes, but he feels warmth on his skin and breath against his cheek.

“You can,” Dong Sik says. “You should.”

Dong Sik wipes at Joo Won’s face, and the movement draws his eyes open, and Joo Won finds that looking at Dong Sik hurts less than he thought it would.

I’m all lee for Bakugou how about one where he and kirishima are at the beach and kirishima buries bakugou in the sand then sees an advantage 😉.

Another request would be Bakugou’s family giving him a tickle attack. ❤️

Sandy shrieks

A/N: ignore the pun I just made😭😭

———————————————————————-

Bakugou and kirishima were currently at the beach. Finally getting able to get away from school and just relax together.

“Hey babe” kirishima called. Bakugou looked over at him. Can I bury you in the sand. “No” bakugou quickly said. “Awww why not” kirishima pouted. “Because you’re gonna try to take advantage of me” bakugou explained. “I’m sorry what anyways no I’m not I want to do the mermaid thing y’know we’re the sand makes you look like a mermaid” kirishima corrected “Pwetty pwease”. Bakugou tried to fight his boyfriends cuteness but gave in “UGHH fine I swear if this is a trick I’m not dying your roots next Time” bakugou mentioned. “Yeah yeah whatever get over here” kirishima smiled at him.

Bakugou just stood over him watching him dig a hole and just kept thinking that “this was a trap” over and over again. But the way his boyfriend was acting was just making him rethink to himself “maybe those practice missions are getting to me”. “Alright you can lay right here now” kirishima moved out of the way. Bakugou chuckled as he laid there seeing his boyfriend acting like a 5 year old. “Okay you ready for me to put the sand on you” kirishima asked. “Yeah whatever just do what’cha gotta do” bakugou jokingly scoffed. “Aw c‘mon kats it’s not like I’m gonna do something evil” kirishima joked as he started putting the sand back on him.

“Ok now all I gotta do is for it into a tail then your done” kirishima cracked his knuckles. “Oh boy” bakugou thought. “Alright all done” kirishima brushed excess sand off that was on him. “Alright you gotten your picture now get me out” bakugou slightly panicked. “sure just one more thing” kirishima said as he inches toward bakugou’s feet. “Kirishima what’re you dohoing dohon’t we are at the beach stahahap” bakugou began to giggle. “Kat you’re so adorable i haven’t even touched you yet” he complimented as he dug out one of his feet.

“Noho kiri plehease gyaHAahahaha stahahap” bakugou giggled. “See this is for not trusting me and assuming that something like this was going to occur”. Kirishima squinted his eyes at his giggling boyfriend.”Gahahaha I wahahahasn’t dohohoubting yohohou I wahahas juhuhust AHAH NOhot there” bakugou tried to explain through his laughter. “Oh here right up under your cute little tosies” kiri teased as he dug up under his toes scribbling. “NAHAHAHA KIREHEHEHEHEH PLEHEHEHE AHAHAHAHA STAHAHAHAP” bakugou shrieked.

“Hmmm I don’t know what do you think hands huh what was that sorry babe they said no and I can’t control them” Kirishima joked. “NOHOHO THEHEHEHEY DID NAHAHAHAT”.

“They said they don’t like how you called them lairs and you should be punished for it” kirishima lied as he attacked his boyfriends arches. “GAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA NOHOHOAHAHAHA IM SORREHEHEHEH HANDS GYAHAHAHAHA” bakugou apologized.

“EIEHEHEHEHEHE PLEHEHEHASE SHOW YOUR BOHOHOHOHOHOYFRIEND SOME MERCEHEHEHEHEHE PLEAHSAAHAHAHAHA” bakugou begged. “Fine only because I love you”kirishima admitted before digging his boyfriend out. “Nehever do thahat again. Bakugou giggled.
