Blockout Curtain

I really hope that the concept of a vampire familiar will become more popular even after the end of WWDITS.

Vampire familiar as a position brings so much to the character just right off the bat. The calm attitude towards gore and death-related things, the regular participation in the assisted murder (with the constant possibility of them being caught and arrested looming over their head), the mental gymnastics they do to exist between the human and the supernatural worlds, their flexible mental lists separating humans into the "out of bounds" and "possible victims" categories, them "trying on" vampire behavior to prepare for their new life and becoming more inhumane while staying human...

It creates a morally grey personality that is egually if not more unhinged that the one of a vampire and therefore quite captivating to readers/viewers. And anyway, who doesn't love the insanely tense boss/employee master/slave relationship between a familiar and a vampire?😏

Do you enjoy vampire flicks? Do you love poor little meow meows?

Might I suggest Renfield. After all, it is the perfect time to watch vampire movies. Already saw it 6 months ago when it came out in theatres? It's streaming so why not rewatch it?

Nicholas Hoult as Robert Montague Renfield is the Poorest Saddest Wettest Littlest Meow Meow!

so so soppingly wet pathetic (He is downtrodden and absolutely miserable. He also needs someone to clean and brush him.)

skrunkly cute (He is played by Nicholas Hoult. Beauty, adorableness, and those anime eyes are part of the package.)

morally grey (He brings Dracula food, so he's essentially a mass murderer. But Dracula exercises psychological control over him. He's trapped in a toxic relationship.)

He is such a sad, little (6'3" 190 cm) man. He is morally ambiguous, to put it gently. (He really isn't a good guy.) He is ultra-violent:

He is servile. He catches prey:

But have you seen his sad widdle eyes?

Most importantly, he wants out. He doesn't want to work for Dracula anymore. He sets about constructing a new life for himself. He gets his own studio apartment and decorates it in nothing but bright colors and kitty print fabric. He cleans himself up.

He gets himself some new colorful clothes.

He is so proud of himself and I just want to hug and squeeze him. He is a mess. He is a homeless kitty cat and I want to rescue him.

Welcome back to Get Familiar!

In this second installment, we will be discussing:

Vampire Feeding

The do's, the don'ts, and more! (New recipes, anyone?)

Let's get into it!

The Bloody Basics:

Vampires cannot consume anything other than blood. That much you should be aware of unless it's your first day on the job.

That rule, the MAIN rule that you should NEVER forget, is... well... more vague than it sounds.

The most healthy thing for a vampire to feed on IS human blood. But they can also safely ingest a few other things, such as:

- Blood from other animals (this leaves them momentarily sated but still unsatisfied, for the most part)

- Other... human bodily fluids... (you've seen this if you were unlucky enough to have to host the biannual vampire orgy. This doesn't actually soothe their hunger or give them any nutrition, but they don't get sick)

- Human flesh (in small quantities), most commonly consumed during throat-ripping when they're desperate for blood.

Now, with that being said, you need to throw your morals out of the window if you haven't done so the second you took on a dark master. There are no artificial alternatives to blood that can be used to feed vampires. They can go for many nights without feeding, depending on the vampire. Younger vampires need to feed more regularly than ancient vampires.

In general, the best way to go about it is to fetch when your master tells you to, save leftovers for later when you can, and learn your masters feeding schedule.

If you mess up, be prepared to be the substitute meal.

Now that we're clear on what they can eat, here's a crash course on some do's and don'ts, and general questions most familiars have at some point in their infernal careers.

Q: Should I offer my own blood to my master?

A: NO! That is a remarkably bad idea. Most familiars start the job with rose tinted glasses and romantic YA novel fantasies about vampires. If your vampire isn't outright disgusted by your offer, getting fed off of will not be the intimate, romantic thing you think it will be. (Okay, maybe intimate, I've heard it gets kind of intense,) but the main concern is that you will die.

Virgin blood, freely given, is some of the most delectable blood a vampire will ever taste. So if you offer it, they will take it, and more often than not they WILL completely drain you. You will not be turned just for offering to feed them, unless you count being turned into a shriveled up raisin of a human corpse.

Remember: Vampires are VERY rarely attached to their familiars. You are replaceable.

What does being fed off of feel like? Am I leading people to a horrible, painful, death?

Yes and no. Being fed off of hurts, but it also makes you dizzy and I've heard there is a sort of elated numbness that comes over you when being fed off of. It might even feel sort of good.

Take solace in the fact that it doesn't ONLY hurt for your victims, but there's no way to dance around the fact that you ARE still leading them to their violent deaths. Sorry.

I feel like my vampires are bored of just plain old blood. Can I cook something with it? Or freeze it into blood Popsicles?

No. We've all thought about it, many have tried it, and it's usually a major fail. Blood "popsicles" won't make them sick, but vampires don't like them very much. Cold blood is usually a no-go. Blood snow cones work for some vampires, but it's a big gamble to try.

However... after many sleepless days, I managed to figure out an answer to the problem.

How can I make a recipe using only ingredients found in human blood?

For this, I had to turn to food items with a VERY small list of ingredients, for blood is incredibly simple in its makeup.

Then it hit me.

It is fully possible to make blood cotton candy that is edible for vampires.

Yes. You read that right. Cotton candy is the only feasible way to feed your vampire anything other than plain old blood.

They will not projectile vomit as if they were eating regular human food, just make sure you ONLY flavor it with blood. No other flavor.

You're welcome!

And with that, thank you for reading this installment of Get Familiar. I hope this helped, g*dspeed, soldiers.

just me thinking abt the insidiousness of the Familiar Clinic

a place where every familiar is recommended to be put down

not because of any injury or disease

but because their vampire cared about them enough to take them there in the first place
