how do you think tvd/to vampires would've reacted to artificial blood being invented

LOVELY QUESTION

Stefan - hallelujah the struggle is over no more squirrels. Except - will synth blood be so perfect that it gives him the same high as real blood? Lmao that would be so sad and so Stefan.

Damon - Elena puts his blood in a Stanley cup every morning. He promises her he’s not getting dessert from the necks of idiots who see him lying prone in a dark country road.

FINN - 2 dead 2 care

MARCEL - he would immediately try to monopolize the industry in the south. If you want that good red lab juice you gotta pay the House of the Rising Son.

REBEKAH - she prefers the human stuff but the fake stuff is so convenient when there’s a mob after you! Dusty aftertaste, though.

KOL - Ew, seriously? Are we going to start wearing pleather now too? Don’t tell Davina I said that tell her uhhhhh tell her I had a whole glass and said “aahhhhhhh” all satisfied when I was done.

ELIJAH - Elijah would feel very similar to Rebekah. He would monitor Marcel’s power grab, though, with equal parts pride and paranoia.

Klaus - obviously, this blood is a plot point. So Klaus can’t digest it/it weakens him. Hybrid intolerance of synthetic blood would cause a huge anti-hybrid surge in the populace, especially if humans were clued in to the supernatural world at this point. It turns out that this blood was designed to poison him specifically in a decades long plot to incapacitate the original hybrid.

Hayley - She almost dies because she tries it!! This is episode 1 of the season!!!!!!! Hope screams so loud the entire city can hear!

Idk if I’m biased against tumblr now but im trying to find a home for writing I’ve done, old and recent, in a way that I can chronicle later in order.

Substack sicklyscribe I guess? It’s probably a bad choice so if you have better suggestions lmk

Oh, okay. I see. You think this has nothing to do with you. You go to your closet and you select out, oh I don’t know, that gaslight gatekeep girlboss meme, for instance, because you’re trying to tell the world that you think modern feminism has been co-opted by corporations. But what you don’t know is that that meme is not from Instagram, it's not from Twitter, it's not from Tiktok, it’s actually from Tumblr. You’re also blithely unaware of the fact that in January 2021, Tumblr user missnumber1111 posted, "today's agenda: gaslight gatekeep and most importantly girlboss." And then I think it was a-m-e-t-h-y-s-t-r-o-s-e, wasn’t it, who reblogged it with an image of the phrase edited over a piece of "Live, Laugh, Love" wall art? And then gaslight gatekeep girlboss showed up in the feeds of eight different Twitter repost accounts. Then it filtered down through Instagram and then trickled on down into some tragic “alt side of Tiktok” where you, no doubt, fished it out of some clearance bin. However, that meme represents millions of notes and countless Tumblr users and so it’s sort of comical how you think that you’ve made a choice that exempts you from Tumblr when, in fact, you’re wearing the meme that was selected for you by the people in this room. From a pile of “stuff.”

here is a sweet story for you all:

the first time I saw my grandmother after coming out and starting HRT she said “here he comes” as I stepped out of the car and then started jumping up and down saying “he! he!! I’m going to remember!!” I started to say hello and she goes “oh! your voice!! wait, let me hear you say something” I say “hi grandmother” and she smiles really big and says “oh… that is a miracle :-)”

the moral of the story is that sometimes coming out is awesome and my grandmother rules. happy pride ✨

Me: I don't get it. I thought I was doing a lot better than I was a few years ago. I'm like 10 times more on top of things than I used to be. How does everything feel terrible now?

The Tiny Me in OSHA-approved Hi-Vis Gear Who lives in my brain and pulls all the levers: Boss, it's the fascism. You're completely gunked up with cortisol due to the fact that your entire daily life is now underscored with a haunting awareness of the rapid erosion of your rights, dignity, and any and all social safety nets, and you're also bearing witness to the most vulnerable people immediately being persecuted. This creates a natural stress response that basically means you're going to continue having memory and organizational problems, as well as emotional imbalances.

Me: BUT I HAVE A BULLET JOURNAL AND I MEDITATE NOW.

Tiny OSHA Me: BOSS, THE FASCISM.

Hey kid, sorry I killed your dad with a huge sword. The cycle of violence is super fucked up isn't it. Hopefully it can stop with you.

oxidized copper is such a beautiful color palette. The rich reds with the cool teals. Such a vibrant combo. No one is doing it like her.
