cecil the cowardly's definitive Anatomy Of A Vampire. written with no love whatsoever. obviously
the head of the vampire. often shadowed and sunken, there's not a paleness so much as a slight desaturation. a coldness to the touch that could be warmed with a gentle kiss if you dared.
the neck. arguably the most important aspect to a vampire from the perspective of a hunter. oftentimes there will be puncture marks from being turned, but the location can vary wildly depending on the circumstances. it's a wonderful place. many vampires can be ashamed of it depending on their willingness to be turned. this was my case. others wear it as a sign of pride when they are in a safe place to do so. ask before commenting on it.
the torso. littered with scars ranging from combat to an accumulation of smaller injuries caused simply by living for so long. the heart has long stopped beating and the lungs pretend to take in oxygen.
the arms. littered with scars of various origins. sometimes sharp and angular, other times rounded. rough hands from years of use.
the legs. worn out and unbelievably tired from more than a lifetime of overuse. older vampires tend to prefer changing forms if they have the ability to as ways to compensate. just because we have extra speed doesn't mean our legs are able to deal with it!
tl;dr all vampires are beautiful and as a vampire i am holding all of your hands
Vampire kin flag!

Learning I have iron deficiency and vitamin d deficiency is actually so validating
Looks like a normal pretty girl but is secretly an interdimensional eldritch cosmic horror abyss abomination
Most fun a girl can have is drawing herself with rows of teeth and tentacles
At my core I'm a genderless mass of energy, but choosing to enjoy being a girl while in this human life feels rebellious and is a satisfying fuck you to misogyny
Getting the urges again
Im iron deficient ...so cold...so weak.... you should really give me some blood to help

Heyyy hiiii hellloooo :3
Any activity ideas for a vampire?
This is my first time doing one of these, so apologies if it’s bad. Also, uh. Sorry it’s so long … got a little carried away ^-^’
VAMPIREKIN HELPKIT !
Remember, these are just ideas meant to inspire you. Only you can dictate your identity as a vampire— if you don’t feel connected to anything here, then that’s fine! No one else can tell you how to identify as a vampire: only you can.
You are valid. You are amazing. You are beautiful. Fangs or no fangs. Sunlight or no sunlight. Cloak or no cloak. Reflection or no reflection. You are a vampire through and through, and no one can change that. Here are some other affirmations for you so you can practice love and acceptance for your vampy self!
Affirmations:
I am a vampire through and through!
I am still a vampire even if my skin is not pale, my fangs are not sharp, or I don’t crave blood.
My experiences as a vampire are valid.
My fangs are beautiful, big or small! They are gleaming and sharp and perfect.
My aura exudes vampiric excellence.
I am the count(ess) of acceptance and progress.
I am perfect even if I don’t connect with bats.
It is okay if I’m afraid of blood— not all vampires feed!
This vessel radiates vampiric beauty.
I am always on point! (Haha, puns.)
Even if I can’t stay up late or avoid the sun, I am still an amazing vampire.
No matter what, I am totally rad!
Now, here are some fun activities you could do to connect with your vampire side more! :D
Activities:
Create a playlist with vampiric vibes and your favorite songs to listen to.
Make a Pinterest board in honor of your beautiful vampire self! Put images of pretty castles, spooky animals, general vibes, or whatever you think fits!
Write a journal and keep track of all your monstrous experiences and escapades.
Drinking cranberry juice, pomegranate juice, fruit punch, grape juice, or other darker/red drinks. (Don’t drink real blood unless you know it’s safe, bats!)
Hang upside down! Some vampire have a bat form and hanging upside down might make you feel more connected to your bat side.
Stay up late (But not too late: even vampires need their beauty sleep!)
Avoid the sun— maybe wear big hats, sunglasses, or get a parasol. (Still get some sunlight every once in a while, though. It may be uncomfortable, but even vamps need all of the good minerals the sun provides; just wear lots of sunscreen!)
Avoid garlic (unless you *really* like it… then you might just have an immunity to it!)
Try to bite into juicy fruits or foods with your fangs or your front teeth and then drink the juice out.
Light candles and turn off your room lights— create a spooooky atmosphere in your vampiric den!
Read vampire stories or watch vampire movies to look at and learn the experiences of other vampires.
Paint with watery red or black paints— create an image that reminds you of your dream castle, how you view yourself, or something else!
Go outside and admire the beauty of the moon.
Create or purchase bat-themed items!
Turn your bed into your very own coffin! Whether this be by decorating it with bat plushies, putting a veil over it, shaping your blankets to make a comfy coffin shape, or something else— it’s up to you!
Pick flowers and dry them so you can appreciate their deathly beauty.
Buy affirming/gothic items like ornate candle holders, red bath bombs, red LED lights, etc …
Brush your fangs well!
Use spooky themed chewelry in case you have biting urges.
Visit graveyards (respectfully!) or explore victorian houses online.
Admire your deathly reflection— in this vessel you can see yourself in mirrors, so you should definitely make the best of it!
Make a habit to ask to enter other people’s houses! Being polite is certainly important, wink wink.
And finally some vampiric snacks! Vampires need fuel, too!
Snacks & Treats:
Red drinks or fruit juices that remind you of blood!
Ripe fruits! The feeling of fangs sinking into the fruit is akin to that of prey!
Tender or juicy meats give the feeling of a bloody meal without being bloody.
Foods with actual blood in them, like blood sausage or blood pudding.
Cookies! (Even if they aren’t spooky… cookies are great for any creature!)
Jam-filled things— imagine biting through your prey and getting to the blood in the center!
Some vampkin playlists, to help set a spooky mood.
(None of these are mine— kudos to all the beings who made these! :D)
And last, but not least: A moodboard and a color pallet, just for funsies!
I hope this served you well! If there’s anything you’d like to change, any recommendations, or any feedback in general, let me know! Opinions are always appreciated. ^.^ !
My requests are open ! ! :D
