vampirism 

Vampirism is the disease/ability described many ways throughout history creating Vampires. The main concept for vampirism can be someone who is drinking the blood of humans or animals, or someone draining the psychic energies of somebody else. Many sources tell of several accompanying attributes like fangs, pale skin, mild to severe allergy to sunlight, silver and garlic. Stories tell of ability to fly, shapeshift, about the need of coffins, immortality and vampires being living dead.

Many of these beliefs are myth or fiction but there lives a society claiming to be real vampires today, and they assert the following:

Vampirism is the disease or abilities related to vampires.
Vampirism can be conducted two ways. Either someone is turned (created by another vampire), or awakened (become one by him/herself in time). When someone shows the symptoms of being sensitive to sunlight, prefering to be awake during the night, having very acute senses, and instincts, somewhat resistant to common illness.. as well as having a thirst/hunger nothing seems to be able to ease, and an easily triggered 'secondary personality' the beast, who is violent, very temperamental, and impatient. V

Related to this community, vampirism DOESN'T mean immortality, death when contacting garlic, silver, or sunlight, blood tears, consumption of nothing but blood, sacred symbols are not lethal to- nor feared by vampires, they do show up in mirrors, they dont heal instantly, they are not all pale, not all beautiful, they're not all evil, and they dont live a secluded life away from human society.

Romantic Vamprism 

A personality condition in which someone uses feelings of "love" as a fuel source rather than a passion. People who suffer from Romantic Vamprism see love interests as outlets for attention, lust, confidence, and little more. Once their partner can't provide a needed amount of those things, they leave them behind for another victim. It's an addiction to the essence of love, not the details that make it last.

Romantic Vamprism is not easy to spot. Those who have it can be quite charming and outwardly appealing; it's their motive for love that gives them the condition. To them, a partner is a puppet for sexual and emotional energy, with little or no reason to keep them once they've served their purpose.

The "magnificent bastards" of heartbreaking, if you will.
"I'm in love with you!"

"Really now. I'm in love with your love."

"What about...you know...me?"

"Yes, yes, you too dear. I suppose. (For now...)"

Romantic Vamprism at it's finest.

Word of the Day on November 3, 2026
Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
