((I have seen the post this ask is based on and I love it to pieces and I love this ask to pieces thank you so much for sending it my way. I left most of ‘em kinda vague about whether or not dadsona actually a merman or a vampire, because I’m super here for fangy mermen, but the irony of a pastel/summery vampire is not lost on me.))

Joseph immediately smiles wider, but in that tense, wide-eyed way where you can tell he’s afraid. For all the supernatural romance out there these days, he’s not unfamiliar with the fact that vampires started out as something unholy. He nods slowly to himself as he absorbs that because??? That shouldn’t be hot???? 

Brian stops for a minute, then bursts into deep belly laughs. He tries to assure whoever made the comment that you’re quite the prankster. It’s not until a week later when he sees you doing something legit spooky that he starts to wonder if you’re actually something a little more than human.

Craig just kinda laughs at the horrified expression of whoever made the comment. You can’t hide much from someone you shared a tiny dorm with, so of course he found out. Whether you were intentionally obvious or he actually figured you out is up for furious debate, but he’s glad to see you’re so much more open about it now. He’s had years to build up a collection of puns and has been waiting for a chance to use them!

Robert takes a moment of pause, swiftly followed by white hot jealousy. His one chance to get with an actual cryptid, and he missed it! Why? Because of stereotypes. He vows never to judge a monster by their dress again. But instead of throwing a bitch fit about not getting to fuck a monster, he asks questions at a million miles a minute. Sheer willpower keeps his fingers out of your mouth, but he can’t stop staring at your teeth. He’s got new questions every time you guys meet up after that

It takes every ounce of courage Mat has to not take a step back. He doesn’t really consider himself afraid of monsters, but most of the time, it’s pretty safe to assume that they’re not real. Seeing how freaked he is, you and Damien take him aside and reassure him that you’re not out to hurt him or anyone else, and if you had been, you probably would’ve done by now. 

Hugo blinks in surprise, but keeps quiet and moves along. You think, at first, that either he thinks he misheard you, or he already knew. But he finds an appropriate time to pull you aside and ask you all his questions, because while he doesn’t really believe in monsters, but he has read Dracula/Hans Christian Anderson’s Little Mermaid, and is fascinated by the concept that either book could have more of a basis in reality.

Chris, Christie, & Christian: Good night mom.

Mary: Goodnight monster that lives under the bed and eats children who are bad.
