I feel like chatgpt came around and everyone immediately forgot what they were doing to get stuff done before. like writing centers, extensions, extra help, templates, office hours, beta readers, random generators, and art and writing prompts have all existed for ages. even if you were cheating there's always been sparknotes, photomath, copying, paying someone else to do it, faking that your grandma died, and whatever. all of that stuff is more reliable and doesn't fuck over the planet. and you might actually learn something

[id: graffiti on the base of a concrete overpass where previous grafiti has been covered over with gray paint multiple times. In black all-caps handwriting, it reads: "What kind of paint are you using to paint over this? Because if it is latex, its probably way too cold for it, you want good adhesion, you need like at least 40°-45°. Maybe wait till it warms up a little, I mean what's the big rush? Like, I'm in a rush now but our situations are different" /end id]

Sexuality is key to the charm of the vampire, because drinking blood involves intimacy, an embrace, a penetration, and an ecstatic union with the victim while one is drinking blood. That's built in to the vampiric myth, the vampiric act, and just about any version of a vampire with his victim. And that is inherently metaphoric of the sex act. In my work, my vampires do not have biological sex with their victims. The act of drinking blood is their sex act and I develop that notion fully. ~ Anne Rice
