Here is a bunch of terms I use within the community -
Alterhuman - Those that do not fit the conventional standards of being considered human or who do not fully identify as human Black Swan - A non-vampiric supporter and close affiliate of the vampyre community Coming out of the coffin - Telling others about one's vampire identity Donors - Non-vampire adults who willingly give blood to sanguines. Hybrid - A combination of the two above Lifestyler - Someone who uses the aesthetic, terms, and forums of the community but does not identify themself as a vampire Otherkin - Those that non-physically identify with a non-human creature Psychic - A person that feeds on aura/energy of people Roleplayer - Someone who roleplays as a vampire Sanguine - A person who feeds on blood Vampyre/Vampire - Anyone who believes themself to be a vampire White Swan - A non-supporter (and active opposer) of the community
My food was too unseasoned as a child and now I can't have garlic
why are you alterhuman/nonhuman? wrong answers only
I'll go first: instead of using normal lotion on me, my mom used lotion made for horse, cattle, cats, and dogs
Day 1 - what type of dirt would your kintype eat? Red clay. Like the type that everyone's grandparents told you had rubies and garnet in it. The type that you tried to shovel as a child but the grass roots combined with the damp clay meant you snapped four or five plastic shovels before your parents offered you a metal shovel, but they didn't let you use it on your own so you stood there and watched while they dug a few little holes before getting bored and walking away.
No one understands just how much I need these
I bought glue-on ones a few months ago but it's not the same ARRHGHHG
Day 2 - Warm or cold ocean water? Cold, easily. My hands and feet lose blood flow in the cold. Sometimes they turn purple. What's more 'vampyre' than losing bloodflow? Plus, krill live under the ice. Krill are great.
There’s three types of vampyres -
Those that want to be Astarion from Baldur’s Gate
Those that want to be Stoker’s Dracula
And those that are Morticia Addams
Day 3 - Describe a pie made from three ingredients your kintype would eat, crust included
Uhhhh. Who's gonna tell 'em. Assuming that I eat anything other than blood, probably some red berry filling. Maybe a mixture of strawberries, raspberries, and pomegranate juice. Actually, no raspberries. I fucking hate raspberries. Wait, blood is an option here. Okay then, blood. Probably thickened with corn starch or some other thickener - coagulated blood is disgusting. For the dough, probably just regular dough. I can't imagine that there would be a reason for anything unique in the dough, unless I substitute the eggs for blood. Sure. Blood dough. Blood pie with blood dough. Scrumptious.
ughhh i hate the weird pick-me part of the VC. im a vampyre but i call myself vampirekin sometimes out of convenience for community building. i joined a discord server one time and it said something in the rules about otherkin being not welcome and a "personal fictional narrative" as opposed to the Totally Legit And Real Vampyre Community like get away from me ew
Eesh, so I stumbled across vampyrism validity politics because I barely stepped my toes into a vampyre forum (yeah, I'm using the "y" spelling for convenience) out of curiosity to see if there might be any discussion/posts regarding vampirekin (just browsed, didn't post). And it smacks of the holier-than-thou, "we're the only true vampires" nonsense that's so toxic to have around--they think they are the oldest kind of vampires/vampyres, they are the only serious ones while the others (psi/sang types) are just roleplaying & spreading misinformation (including that psi/sang vampyres aren't even a real experience or condition), they are part of an order with their own bible, & want to be seen widely as what true vampyrism is (to combat the misinformation) but at the same time don't want to be widely known about because others just couldn't understand the complexities of their vampyrism.
God I hate seeing negative gatekeeping, whatever community or subculture it may be part of. And of course I'm very much reminded of otherkin/therian negative gatekeeping. Honestly, they may be some form of "vampirism" (hell knows, the vampire terminology has been stretched & contorted a lot over time anyway, but I still think their experiences are valid), but I seriously doubt they are/experience the only valid form, especially the insistence that psi/sang vampyres are totally invalid. So yeah, I turned around & noped my way off that site (to clarify, it wasn't just one person in a stray post saying that stuff, it was a stickied thread about correcting misinformation about vampyres; this also wasn't on some small, obscure forum).
Edit: Oh yeah, & disappointing thing for me as vampirekin is they see themselves as inhuman (albeit, immortal) souls in human bodies, though I can't really relate to them beyond the 'nonhuman in a human body' part, especially the emphasis on magick & the occult. But just wonder what it would be like if vampirekin made their own community, as an offshoot of sorts from other vampires, & insisted that all other kinds of vampires who weren't vampirekin were just fluffies & roleplayers & we must be The Only True Vampires TM. That would be wrong & stupid. But that's what this feels like to me.
As a side note: what's with some communities not doing a better job of coining terms for themselves? Like why do so many kinds of people have to fight for the term "vampire" or "kin" when they could coin their own terms & maybe raise the usefulness of the terms & their definitions because there's not a dozen+ kinds of identity vying for who gets the sacred honor to use that term & be a "true vampire" or "true 'kin". I understand not wanting to be separate from certain terms, but sometimes it's taken to ridiculous extents, like with these supposed "true vampires" above who admit that the term 'vampire' doesn't do their kind justice & they are very different than what is meant by vampire/vampyre in that larger community, or kffers (instead of roleplaying) or choicekin (rather than using copinglink or otherlink).
Day 4 - if your kintype suddenly opened their eyes, what would they be looking at? Some old rustic ceiling, the walls of a coffin around me, cobwebs and dust and possibly small bits of sunlight shining through cracks in the walls. Candlelight illuminating the worn-down wallpaper and cracked roof .
i cant wait until I accidentally follow some random non-vampyre goth person thinking theyre an alterhuman blog just for them to be like "what the fuck" and block me I think that would be just delightful
Day 5 - do you like sticks No I step on them and they make loud noises and scratch my shins. It's gross and I hate it I just want one forest with no sticks please
Day 6 - 5 again. do you like leaves LOVE leaves they are a very nice shape. Also gives me lots of nice shade in the daytime
Day 7 - does your kintype migrate Uhh no? I guess not, seeing as I'm just a little human who needs a red snack sometimes. In fact I think I'm pretty sedentary. I've only moved like twice in my life and I think I want to stay in the place I'm in now until I move out.
soooo tiredddd oh my god i need to lay down in a coffin and sleep the daylight away for like 4 days or else i might just pop
May have forgotten a little ngl Day 8 - sleepy or awakey Sleepy. I mean, im always sleepy. im very good at sleeping Day 9 - are you smaller or larger than a breadbox Human sized medium Day 10 - describe the vegetation around your kintype's feet Uhh... blood?

I think its concerning that one of the best decisions i've made for my mental health this year is switching out Tumblr for TikTok Tumblr
Colloquially known as The Hellsite Known for having a shit ton of horribly disordered people that spread their disorders and bully people into also being disordered Literally does not GAF about pro-Hitler and white supremacy posts RAMPANT with bots that want to DM you AI-generated photos of naked celebrities the fact that THIS place is improving my mental health says so much about TikTok
