>An ancient vampire that's so old she doesn't know if she was born one or sired. Still tries to modernise with the times, ends up using cursed slang. Absolutely is the person you want in a panic. Absolutely not the person you want in an emotionally sensitive situation. Is asked for the WiFi password. Dresses in a classic goth style.

>One of the women given an unfair trial was actually a witch and cursed every daughter from then on to be monstrous. He was one of those daughters. He's figured a couple of things out since then. Always seems to be a couple of decades behind the times. Thinks My Chemical Romance is really cool band and wants to see them live. (Don't tell him) Askes for the wifi password. Dresses in fusion between 90s punk and mall goth.

> A woman in her mid thirties, who the other two accidentally turned in a threesome. Facing the existential horror of having to pay taxes for the rest of her life. What do you mean the other two have never paid taxes?? What do you mean the older one has been imprisoned for tax fraud 7 different times???? What do you mean the younger one just got out of jail for tax fraud?????? She was just trying to experiment with her bisexuality after the divorce and now she craves the taste of blood....Is starting to experiment with with a new/pastel goth style.

I honestly had to look up what these monsters are because I have never heard about them until now. But I greatly thank you for the introduction because DAMN!

So if yall don’t know as well, Jiangshi’s are known according to Google as Chinese hopping vampires. It’s a type of undead creature that’s featured in some Chinese legends and folklore.

Other websites describe them as being a combination of a vampire and a zombie which I think is freaking sick as fuck!!! Like they’re so similar but different which makes mixing them together so fascinating!

I love their designs and how they’re usually featured, I honestly think they have a beauty to them that a lot of vampires do. The history behind their designs is also really cool. Apparently they’re usually always seen wearing funeral attire. And their hair and nails continue to grow, unlike western vampires.

The origin of where this all comes from is lowkey kind of heartbreaking. At least from the things I read about them. Because I may have gone on a little research binge about these guys because of this ask lol.

Okay so the common vampire bat is one of my favorite animals, they are so cute and so interesting and I love vampires (I am a massive nerd about both)

(All from natural geographic)

I highlighted relevant information to this on the second picture

Okay so here are some ideas I have for these vampires, I haven’t worked out all the details yet, so I will talk about concerns with these ideas after

A few very shin and sharp teeth at the front of the mouth instead of the classic fangs

That amazing saliva (my favorite feature of vampire bats)

Maybe what turns people into vampires is the saliva as well???

Vampires get fangs when they turn into vampires the way humans grow adult teeth but the process is quicker and probably pretty unpleasant

They have amazing immune systems

Completely unrelated to vampire bats as far as I’m aware but they are really prone to mental illnesses, especially ocd (might make a second post going into this)

Many vampires like cow blood???

Okay so that’s all my ideas so far, now onto my concerns

Why would vampire saliva turn people into vampires? Is vampirism more of like a disease? Why does that happen from a more scientific standpoint than I can understand because I am really mediocre at anything scientific.

What exactly would these teeth look like? Would there be tons of tiny teeth or a normal amount that are just long, are they unusually strong or is the breaking of these teeth really common because how would something like that not just snap since the proportions that work for a vampire bat wouldn’t work for a human due to idk physics stuff I don’t know

How do you just start growing new teeth your body wasn’t previously prepared for?
