if i want to eat, i eat. if i see an eyesore, i kill it. and if it entertains me, i throw it a bone.

i think the vultures like me . . i rather like them too . . especially because they make the disposal of a body quite simple.

“keep telling yourself that, buddy.” eyebrows raising in amusement, tilting her head to one side just slightly before rolling her eyes at his continued attempts to flirt. “so, are you going to buy me a drink? or are you just going to keep talking my ears off?”

it’s definitely a trick of the light for i am far from an angel. i believe most would refer to me as a devil in disguise.

most certainly not

i am well aware, you’re not the first person to tell me that.

how about you keep your opinions to yourself?

most certainly not.

i do not know myself . .

@sanguismortuorum.bsky.social a stifling sense of forced civility had clung to them for weeks. the saccharine sweetness of the human tea party, with its brittle laughter and strained pleasantries, had finally reached its breaking point. ➷

i suppose to be cursed to live for eternity isn’t as great as the humans believe it to be. you and i know it as fact.

i used to think that having eternal life would mean. . more freedom to make and break relationships as i see fit. that nothing will ever be so of consequence. but i could not have been more wrong. everything has meaning, because i never forget. .

well, time seems to be something we have in excess and with time comes solitude. unfortunately.

𝑻𝒓𝒂𝒇𝒂𝒍𝒈𝒂𝒓 𝑳𝒂𝒘@sanguismortuorum.bsky.social · 2y ago

despite my poking fun earlier. . it's a quality i admire we're similar in that sense, i have always wanted more profound connections. . but i have not been very brave in the face of cold solitude. .

there’s no need to praise me for my own stubbornness . .

𝑻𝒓𝒂𝒇𝒂𝒍𝒈𝒂𝒓 𝑳𝒂𝒘@sanguismortuorum.bsky.social · 2y ago

i feel i gave up on this quest many decades ago. . not consciously. but if i reflect now, it seems more apparent to me that i had, in hopelessness, wallowed. i must laud you for this staunchness of the heart. . it's a rather pitiful existence to be taking whatever scraps come to you. .

i suppose i already have been, so yes. as for the fact if it is worth the wait or not, i do not know. it might not be.

𝑻𝒓𝒂𝒇𝒂𝒍𝒈𝒂𝒓 𝑳𝒂𝒘@sanguismortuorum.bsky.social · 2y ago

obsession. . you would choose to wait for this great love to come? i wonder if it is ever worth the wait. . perhaps, in your experience it might be

i . . i’m not miserable because i choose to hold myself to certain standards and choose to believe certain ideals. doctor, p l e a s e, you’re just upsetting me now.

𝑻𝒓𝒂𝒇𝒂𝒍𝒈𝒂𝒓 𝑳𝒂𝒘@sanguismortuorum.bsky.social · 2y ago

and don't misunderstand me, this is not a cheap ploy of some kind i have no personal gain from you deciding to drink from another vampire

that may be true, but that still doesn’t mean i’m ’deprived’ of something . . (///////)

𝑻𝒓𝒂𝒇𝒂𝒍𝒈𝒂𝒓 𝑳𝒂𝒘@sanguismortuorum.bsky.social · 2y ago

don't they? i recall your personal feelings and rules apply to the converse. . that cannibalism is indeed a romantic act between vampires at least

my musings do not reflect my own feelings—

𝑻𝒓𝒂𝒇𝒂𝒍𝒈𝒂𝒓 𝑳𝒂𝒘@sanguismortuorum.bsky.social · 2y ago

hmm my lady robin, are you feeling 𝑑𝑒𝑝𝑟𝑖𝑣𝑒𝑑 of something, perhaps

aww you don’t have to lie to yourself, everyone gets a little lonely sometimes.

Victor Kuraza@v0idnightmare.bsky.social · 2y ago

Lonely is a feeling for those who allow emotions to rule them. I don't get lonely so pity is unnecessary.

so you would rather lead a lonely life just because of the off chance your enemy would take advantage of your affinity for someone . . that’s rather tragic.

Victor Kuraza@v0idnightmare.bsky.social · 2y ago

I am part of the Earth, is it not enough to keep me tethered? I have found what I have said to be true and it is easy enough to use someone's lover or friends against them when needed. I happen to not have those type of issues when coming across an enemy since I have neither.

what’s a vampire without anything that keeps them tethered to this earth. i suppose it’s strength for you, but that differs from person to person.

Victor Kuraza@v0idnightmare.bsky.social · 2y ago

Loved ones only bring unnecessary weakness to one who has strength. They make you vulnerable.

there’s never a necessity for a lover, perhaps you need to look at love from a different perspective.

Victor Kuraza@v0idnightmare.bsky.social · 2y ago

Never had a lover. I've never seen a need for one.

would you not want to be consumed by your lover?

Victor Kuraza@v0idnightmare.bsky.social · 2y ago

I'd like to see that progression.

i would like to believe it is.

Victor Kuraza@v0idnightmare.bsky.social · 2y ago

Is it?
