you said merms bloodlust and i thought "ooh merms vampire fic? 👀"

NO BUT SERIOUSLY i hope you are feeling better and good things come your way merms lovey <3

fun fact!! i actually had a massive vampire phase a million years ago!!! like, during the Twilight/Vampire Diaries hayday, LOL. everything i wrote back then involved vampires. fanfiction, original fiction—role-play. yeah!!! your girl here used to role-play with other people online!!! i’ve written teenage-girl-stumbles-across-sexy-bad-boy-vampire-who’s-old-enough-to-be-her-great-great-great-grandfather tropes. vampire highschools, ala Vampire Knight. Vampire Secret Societies. name a trope and i probably wrote a half-assed outline for it!!! if they had sharp pointy teeth and were driven by uncontrollable bloodlust into sucking on someone they cared about’s neck then i was there!!!

i’m kinda all vamped-out these days… i much prefer my bloodlust to come in the form like, a favourite character’s head being bludgeoned-in with a rock or something, LOL. just normal, non-blood drinking violence. 🥹��🫀🩸 idk if i’ll ever (seriously) write a vampire!AU for BNHA—maybe more drabbles, randomly. but to me the magic of a vampire story came with like, pairing it up with teenage girlhood (including but not limited to the connotations of the whole, blood-drinking-in-the-place-of-sex thing). and idk! it’d be hard to pull that off in a x Reader without like, flattening whichever BNHA cast member we picked for the Lead. and i write (and read!) fanfic because i’m interested in them, in their complexities and lives and the things that stretch out after canon. idk!!! now that i’ve said that, watch me pull a iida/reader/tokoyami vampire!AU outta my backside. 😭

(that’s a joke; i don’t have time. 😔 but also… 🧐 you could do some pretty interesting things with a set up like that… Dark Shadow could be like, part of Tokoyami’s vampirism? And between DS and his mutation—the bird-like qualities—he has to live lowkey. 🧐 whereas Iida could be the “youngest” in a clan of regimental, powerful vampires that have successfully infiltrated the modern world with fearless business acumen… hmmm. MUCH to think about.)

#ofmermaidstories-asks #how can i talk about the magic of going into the massive Borders in the city and seeing a wall of Twilight?#that feeling when you’re in a bookstore and you’re young and you don’t have much control over anything in your life—#but for that one precious afternoon you are standing in front of a merticulous display of books #all with the same ghostly cover #and you have enough in the way of cash to choose something for yourself—#and here’s a story promising you a girl who’s maybe a little bit like you—#who doesn’t know her place in things #who moves to a new town and ends up stumbling into the adventure of a lifetime #Stephanie is not a perfect writer and no matter the criticisms i had and have of the books back then and as an adult #i will always love her and be indebted to her for giving me that moment #that promise of picking up that book and *knowing* it was going to take me away for a little while #and the overwhelming excitement that came with choosing it #i was going to make a joke in these tags like ‘if this ask kickstarts my twihard phase i will take u all down with me 🔪’ but #mostly it just leaves me overwhelmingly fond and nostalgic for that time #and the things i created in the wake of it #cue MCR’s vampire money for the closing credits of this lmfaoooo #kids don’t care if you’re alright honey! 🎶#pills don’t help but it sure is funny! 🎵#gimme gimme some of that vampire money!!! 🎶
