when everything is on fire, thereās nothing like the taste of red.
Donāt know who needs this but instead of listening to Kiss Me by Sixpence None The Richer and picturing a typical couple, itās immediately better to picture a goth monster couple fighting off hunters

Did I tell you guys about the time during my late teens when I wrote a terrible vampire novel with a āfightā scene between two female characters - one of whom was only wearing a towel?Ā
Tysk powermetal. I #kvƤllensmetal idag fĆ„r vi Powerwolf med lĆ„ten āKillers with the crossā (2018). Den har allt. Vampyrer, och vackra damer, som jagar vampyrer. Det Ƥr pĆ„ nƤtterna det hƤnder⦠Trevlig helg!
Hereās an urban fantasy idea: what if the contagious cryptids cancelled each other out? I heard about an incurable disease being cured by injecting the patient with a second disease that caused a fever, which killed off the first one, and the doctor had the cure ready for the second one.
What if this, but monsters?
Just picture it: someone gets bitten by a zombie, and they only have so much time before the infection takes over. But they catch it early, and make it to the hospital that has vampire blood and saliva in cold storage (to simulate being bitten, then having to drink their blood in return). One injection, one paper cup of red stuff followed by one of mouthwash, and the zombie virus halts in its tracks!
Granted, now the time is ticking for a whole different condition, but as soon as the necrosis starts to heal, itās game on for the holy-water-and-garlic cocktail with UV light on the side. Caught early, no more vampirism.
They probably lost a few patients one way or another in getting this all ironed out, but the theory is solid.
I think the best part about being a vampire would be that you probably wouldnāt worry about wasting your life. You would live forever, so it wouldnāt be like someday youād be laying on your death bed thinking about all the time you wasted. You wouldnāt think about how much of your life has just been thrown away scrolling social media instead of doing something productive, since there would be no wasted time because you have infinite time.
š¦ Sylvenia š¦
Sylvenia is the feminine expression of my vampire side. Sheās basically my OC. Despite being incarnated by the same person, her and Caleb have lots of differences in their background. For instance, Sylvenia was born a vampire more than 300 years ago, but Caleb was bitten a few years ago when he was almost 26 years old.
She is more into Victorian aesthetic, would thrive in a gothic manor, and loves wearing lace and velvet. She is obsessed with antiques, especially books, daggers, and jewels.
She doesnāt live in the past, though, and even if she enjoys a vintage lace dress and a victorian atmosphere, she actually wears nu goth on a daily basis and her favourite music genre is heavy metal.
Her HP house is Hufflepuff, but she had a hard time admitting it. She long pretended to be a Ravenclaw, but sheās 100% Hufflepuff.
𩸠Caleb š©ø
Caleb is the masculine expression of my vampire side. Heās more a modern vampire than Sylvenia. Where sheāll wear a vintage lace dress, heāll go for nu goth at best, or techwear. His go-to outfit will almost always include a flannel shirt and combat boots. Heās kinda emo, and pretty reckless. Where Sylvenia is shy and reserved, heāll be effortlessly funny (deadpan humour and sarcasm are his speciality), though they are both introvert.
He feels best in a dark forest, and enjoys being alone. He will usually draw at the moonlight while listening to lo-fi, even if his favourite music genre is industrial metal/trap metal.
Heās always torn between the vintage, almost Victorian, dark academia aesthetic, the fascination for history and curiosities, and the futuristic aesthetic, the cyberpunk neon art and the interest for technologies and robotics.
Heās a proud Hufflepuff, which is obvious to any person who knows a bit about HP, as heās the quintessence of the Hufflepuff.
