Bat Hatter: prometheans also don't get the usual euphoric reaction to being fed on by a vampire, so there's precedent for them reacting differently

Bat Hatter: I can only imagine this is confusing for any vampire who didn't know they were a promethean before going in for the bite

Spoops McGrimm: ..........................................................how bad does that taste

Bat Hatter: Bad

Bat Hatter: and it only gives half vitae

Spoops McGrimm: you're missing 4/5ths of the flavor

Spoops McGrimm: It's like a burger but with only ketchup

Spoops McGrimm: You've tried to eat an entire bottle of ketchup straight up congrats

Bat Hatter: well, they have all of the humours but they're extremely dominated by one of them

Spoops McGrimm: You're not a skeleton you're just bad at this

Bat Hatter: whereas humans are usually a lot more balanced

Spoops McGrimm: Oh so it's like if I dumped an entire bottle of ketchup on a burger I see

CameoApparition: aggie's humour is petroleum/oil so they taste like eating a grease rag

CameoApparition: not fry grease

CameoApparition: engine grease

CameoApparition: that's not as toxic to a vampire as it would be if a human did that, but it still tastes about that bad

Bat Hatter: you sneak up on this random hobo in an alley and sink your fangs in, expecting them to be instantly overwhelmed and complacent by the pleasure of the Kiss, only a) you suddenly realize they taste like dishwater, and b) they just sit up and go "what the fuck dude get off me"

Bat Hatter: unnerving

Spoops McGrimm: Snort

CameoApparition: "what ARE you"

CameoApparition: "a mistake"

magnus misadventures

Spoops McGrimm: Look

Spoops McGrimm: It hits all the things I Want To Do

Spoops McGrimm: solve eldritch mysteries and die

Spoops McGrimm: well, vicariously die

Spoops McGrimm: watch imaginary characters suffer the consequences of my poor actions is probably the most accurate

There wasn’t much that bothered Ben. He was known for being stubborn, true, but he was easily one of the more accepting faces around Shield. He smiled politely, he didn’t involve himself in things he thought weren’t his business, and he moved on. It was that simple, the only exceptions seemed to always pertain to the same few people. One of whom was trying to hold back his tears, offering strangled breaths as he closed the door to Ben’s dorm room.

“N-” Ben started, eyes stuck on the back of the other man’s head, but he never got to finish as Namor cut him off with words sounding so strained Ben had to look down and shut his eyes tight to save the heartbroken sound for some sick reason.

“I just lost her, Benjamin. I can not lose you now too.” Namor’s hand shook the door, still glued to it’s knob, knuckles going white from gripping too tightly. “I have to-“

“You can’t.” Ben knew what Namor was going to say before it even left his lips, so he stopped them to save them both from the poison they would leave when Ben said no after, rather than before. “The doctor’s can help, and if they can’t then…” Ben swallowed and he heard the door still, the poised man having released it to instead tremble in Ben’s direction. Vaguely Ben wondered if soon it would be him that Namor clung to for support, as he had throughout the weeks beforehand. “Then they can’t, and whatever happens can’t be stopped.”

Ben forced himself to look up at Namor’s face, regretting it instantly. It was desperate and scared, a face he always tried to chase away from his olive features before, now he was the one causing it to form. “I can find better doctors and I’ll pa-“

Ben’s steely look stopped him instantly, his mouth shutting as he swallowed sorrowfully, knowing the battle was long-since lost. Ben’s features softened, fading from the cold warning to hollow sadness. “I’m not your charity case, Namor. I didn’t call you here for that kind of help.”

Namor stepped forward, “But you did call for my help.” For some reason, Ben was reminded of how he would have taken that as an insult from anyone else in any other situation. He was proud he could handle himself, without anyone’s help. But now it was different. He didn’t need Namor’s help. He wanted it. And that was far stronger then needing it.

Ben’s mouth moved wordlessly for a few seconds, a feeling of helplessness that he hated began to set in down in the pit of his stomach. His voice cracked and he couldn’t bring himself to look back at Namor’s concerned features, those sad eyes. A whisper was all he could manage without crying. “I’m scared.”

Ben held Namor through the night almost every night the week prior, the younger man crying and mourning his mother’s sickness and then her passing. In that time, Namor seemed to pick up on a few tactics. How to cup the nape of Ben’s neck to bury his face to cry safely, not letting anyone else in the world see Ben’s pride crumble along with his resolve. Namor rubbed Ben’s back, humming to him and shushing him even though Namor himself was still shaking.

Namor’s hand wondered up to stroke Ben’s hair, and Ben, in the midst of his tears, wondered if he would have to go through chemotherapy and lose every sandy strand of hair. 

Ben, in the midst of clinging to Namor with his massive hands as fearful sobs shook them both, desperately hoped that Namor would hold him then, too.

Futures: A Poem by M.C. Grimm

I have had some deep thoughts lately. Here is a piece of my soul. “I sometimes worry about the future. On what wounds bare open or time will suture. Will mine be a brief rush of glass and sand? Or the slow tick of a soothing hand? It is not my place to know what will come. Nor to know from where I’ll return from. Be it earth or something more divine. I may only accept the fate that’s…

M.C. Grimm: Exorcising Inner Demons

Our inner demons have their own intentions that sometimes clash with our own, robbing us of our joy and passions. Before we can banish them from our metaphorical temple, we must first face them and give them a name.

I find myself inspired by your recent posts C.M. Guido – thank you for the empowerment! Speaking to those inner demons we all have that can sometimes inflict a form of self-sabotage and rob us of our confidence to even try. C.M. spoke to the power of affirmations in one of her recent posts and it resonated in my like Florida thunder – my goodness – the mind shapes our entire reality through this…

M.C. Grimm: Self-love, love at its core, and the power of parents

Explaining why some are incapable of love, defining the importance of self-love, and thoughts on the super-power and responsibility of parents with "it takes a village."

Tonight, I present to you thoughts on parents, but mostly, or at least firstly; about love. Here is a brief introduction on my feelings present in the core of love. While I am fortunate to have experienced much in my life, I’m no guru and I certainly don’t feel I have any greater concept of truth than you do. I welcome your constructive additions in the comments. I do not believe one can give or…

M.C. Grimm: Windows to the Soul

A conversation with a Buddhist monk along with the skeptical analysis of "eyes being windows to the soul" by M.C. Grimm.

In business, eye contact is such a critical part to communication. It’s stressed in every industry of face-to-face interaction and is a proven driver for customer service, relationship building, and the all around development of trust. Like most general business practices, I believe there is a value to applying this to avenues of our personal life as well. I’ve heard parents say, “Look at me…

M.C. Grimm: Life - The Musical

M.C. Grimm: Life – The Musical

As a new dad, I am learning how everything goes smoother with song. After all, any fussy baby can become more attune to your efforts by making even the most mundane task an adventurous ballad. How about a diaper change to the tune of “Hey Jude”? I have a custom single come up next! While bobbing to the hip sways, arm bounces, and butt pats; I am finding the song best accompanied by dance. Keep a…

A protagonist is the main character of a story. They are often depicted as the hero, at least in their own point of view. I find myself in a position of reflection of how this correlates to our living story. After all, we all believe we are the main character it’s our life, it’s our story. And I think we all believe we are the “good guy”, making decisions that are “for the best”. Some elements of…

M.C. Grimm: Surviving vs Living

I found myself focused intently on what I wanted, but didn't have, failing to exercise gratitude towards the abundance I was already blessed with. I believe many struggle with this and I would like to share something I discovered that helped.

There was a period time where I found myself frustrated, even angry, at my life circumstances. However privileged I truly was, I couldn’t appreciate the life and opportunities I was given. Instead I found myself focused intently on what I wanted, but didn’t have, failing to exercise gratitude towards the abundance I was already blessed with. I believe many struggle with this and I would like to…
