The fledgling vampire seeks out humans they already have a trust bond with to practice their hunting. Much like the cubs of big cats that practice their pouncing on their own mothers, the vampire seeks out the easy prey of humans they remember being close to. Thus, why it's a known habit for vampires to turn on their friends and family first.
n. the coining of a new vulgar term or curse word, especially one motivated by the impression that the available words fail to sufficiently convey the type and intensity of particular emotion(s)—or by the perceived lack of satisfying options to spit at someone's face.
Etymology:
From Greek νέος (néos; "new") + English crap ("excrement", "expression of anger or annoyance") + Greek λόγος (lógos; "that which is said; word, utterance, argument") + -ism (suffix to denote a concept, ideology, or process), thus 'a new word of crap'.
Derived term(s):
- neocrapologist
n. a person who coins a new vulgar term or curse word.
- crapologist
n. an avid user of swear words.
n. someone who swears excessively, despite the current context not warranting any swear words, insofar that their swearing may even be seen as an unnecessary habit or second nature. In other words, a person who swears purposelessly.
Okay here’s my Rick C-137’s childhood headcanon. TW abuse
so I’m p sure his parents are rich, and I love the idea that he went to private catholic schools. His parents were neglectful, and his father was downright awful. I think his father talked to him very similarly to the way rick talks to morty. Back when Rick was a kid abuse was MUCH more normalized (like it was still illegal, but ykwim) so he definitely got “punished” more than the normal kid. I think when he was young he was mostly obedient out of fear of his father, but as he grew he became much more defiant. He got into arguments with the nuns about god and even got into physical fights. I think his dad died unexpectedly when Rick was a tween, and Rick never got to tell him how much he hated him. He didn’t know how to let out that anger, so he turned to alcohol, drugs and crime. His mother was constantly bailing him out of jail to “keep up the family’s reputation”, and rarely even talked to Rick. Rick couldn’t handle it anymore and he left, his mother never bothered trying to find him, she didn’t even notice him leave. Rick dropped out of hs and drifted around doing god knows what until he met Diane. She took him in and helped him get clean, they eventually fell in love and she made Rick forget about his past, until she died. Rip queen fly high
This is all just off the top o’ my dome, so if stuff about his past has been said just pretend with me
This is the YeeHaw Steddie Fic where Steve Harrington is the youngest Ranch owner in Wyoming, Eddie is a cocky saddle bronc rider and they are hopelessly, stupidly in love (if they can only get their shit together and figure it all out). There will be roping, riding, and all your standard ranch shenanigans. There will also be some hurt and pain, because life as a cowboy in the mountains means that eventually your luck will run out, and you'll have to pull yourself back together with the help of the family you choose.
Notes:
Welcome to the Harrington Ranch...
Chapter One: Fourth of July
Sunrise has always been Steve’s favorite time of day. Morning chores are already done, the wranglers are out and about, but the day still feels quiet. Fog lifting off from the ground can give the whole ranch an air of magic before the real hustle of the day begins. Almost every day starts the same: checking the herd in the corrals and then grabbing a coffee before heading across the road to the other field and watching the sun come up. It moves differently here, Steve thinks. Comes up slowly and then all at once, bursting from behind the peaks and bathing the entire valley in gold. His valley, his herd of horses grazing in the field in front of him. His favorite view of his favorite place…
The downside to having a very wack/barely functional sense of smell + having a cold (aside from the fact I have a gas stove and can’t reliably smell gas on a good day) is that sometimes I smell Something Weird and unless someone else is there to confirm, I can’t tell what it is, if it smells like what it smells like to me, or if it’s actually there
