i was feeling epic

Some updates:

The vampire digital media poll will eventually get its final updated image. I've been swamped with stuff as I started college this semester.

In the meantime, please send in some pieces of media (book, movie, tv show, short film, painting, you name it!) via my asks that are vampire-related. I am preparing for a new series of polls and I'll be sure to credit whoever sends it (so if you want to be featured, make sure anon is off!).

I (M, 99) have been going through a bit of tumultuous drama with my husband, whom I'll call L (M, 93). Despite everything that I've given him -- wealth, immortality, a new way of looking at the world -- L is perpetually moody and distant, and it often feels like he blames me for giving him these things when he should be thanking me instead.

Anyway, at one point when I was worried that L might try to leave me, I stumbled on the perfect solution: we could adopt a daughter! She was an orphan and probably would have died otherwise, so naturally I brought her into the family immediately. This, of course, required me to share our gifts with her as well, making her immortal and giving her a share of our powers.

This is where it gets a bit tricky. We've had our perfect little family for sixty-five years now. We have comfortable rooms, nice furniture, fashionable clothes, plenty to eat -- anything we could want, really. The only problem is that our daughter, whom I'll call C (F, 70?) has lately taken to asking the most impertinent questions: Where do we come from? Why aren't there others like us? Who made me immortal, and where is that individual? Naturally I refuse to entertain such inquiries; none of those thing matter. And unlike L, I don't think C ever resents me for the gifts I gave her, but... well, because of the way our immortality works, she's still a little girl even after sixty-five years, and I think she's having trouble coming to grips with that.

So... Am I the asshole for turning a little girl into a vampire?

happy pride & remember: there is no such thing as a heterosexual vampire
