WELCOME TO EDEN'S BITE : independent vampire original character, original lore. private, selective. 21+ only. nsfw presence in terms of themes of blood & gore, as well as alcohol & gambling. sired by kiki.
eternally loved, forever intertwined. @decaeys ( all muses ).
credits. thread divider by @paletterph. all other graphics by me. currently working on a revamp.
additional rules under the cut.
1 ) i have adhd. i also have poor vision, and though i wear contacts and glasses, i still have astigmatism in both eyes. that being said, altogether, it makes reading things on tumblr difficult at times. i will not follow or interact with anyone with egregiously over the top and excessive formatting. this includes: excessive amount of spaces between words / punctuation ( and by that i mean 5 or more spaces between words, especially with tiny text ), excessive use of html colors ( like every other word ), using those "fancy fonts" every other word ( those aesthetic fonts are not real fonts. they are CODE and are not screen reader friendly ), the entire post being written in all caps ( i'm soooo sorry but my brain just processes this as yelling skjdbs i'm not trying to be difficult! ), and worst of all, doing all of this at once. please just keep accessibility in mind. thank you. also i can't believe this needs to be said, but do not fucking interact with or follow me if you use AI. be it for writing, graphics, art, "faceclaim help," whatever. it is 2026. you cannot possibly remain ignorant to the permanent environmental ramifications AI usage has. claiming "ableism" when confronted is insane work.
2 ) eden has her own band called PARADIE. as the creator of ECLIPSE on my morgana blog, i've intertwined the worlds for a particular version of modern blends where both can coexist together in the real world. as i mentioned on morgana, ECLIPSE is not a heartsteel au, so please don't treat it like one. if we aren't mutuals, and especially if i've blocked you, please don't use anything from my verse. it's a private verse. you are not welcome to it. i don't care if we have a mutual partner writing in it. bye.
3 ) i cannot stand an apolitical bitch. this goes without saying but if you're conservative / republican / MAGA, you are not welcome on my blog. if you're a liberal / democrat with zero spine when it comes to the state of america and world politics, you are not welcome on my blog. we live in a decade and a world moving forward that is becoming increasingly terrifying to exist in. there is always global unrest insular to the politics of other nations, but the implosion of america's democracy is going to affect not only american citizens and its immigrant population, but the world at large. that being said, i like to talk about politics. i love talking about politics and i love world history, both past, present, and future. i will also often reblog mutual aid / psas / gofundmes for current events, like for palestine, iran, sudan, congo, communities in america, etc. if that's a problem for you, you're free to leave, and it's no hard feelings. but i will not censor myself in a country where i am already being censored, where our news is being censored, where our journalists are being censored from reporting facts and events people deserve to know. i understand roleplay is an "escape" from the bad, but our escapism should not mean complacency or willful ignorance to the world at large. if you disagree, if this is not for you, then i am not for you, and that's okay. i will not hold it against you, but please know that this is what you can expect to see on my blog. it is an immense display of privilege to come onto tumblr and say "i want to ignore what's going on in the world" when the rest of the world cannot. i will not be complicit in that. thanks for understanding.
4 ) to expand on my rules in my carrd regarding sjm / acotar / tog / anything that woman writes: do not interact with me and do not follow if you support sjm in any manner. i really truly honestly do not give a fuck if you say you're removing the character from sjm's universes or if you're "critical" of sjm. she's a racist, she's anti-black, and she's a zionist. especially stay the fuck away from me if you're writing a sjm muse and you're not critical of her. i don't care if people hate read her work so that they're well-informed haters and aren't parroting incorrect things when answering why they're anti-sjm. anyway, the same thing goes for snk / aot. isayama is a racist and imperialist who is a mega fanboy of imperial japan and an apologist for japan's crimes in ww2. i say this all the fucking time but i am okinawan. half okinawan. my mother is full 100% okinawan. okinawa is a direct victim, for centuries, of imperial japan, not just in ww2. anyway! don't interact if you enjoy or support any of these materials. harry potter is self explanatory. as is stranger things. go away. i block all sjm / snk blogs on sight.
there's a thread going around on twitter calling the count of monte cristo "litslop" and saying "it's like a telenovela, the plot made no sense, all the characters are shallow" and then someone called it the one piece of the 1860s and i think i'm going to bite someone
i will check on my dms / ims / inbox soon but i miss u all and i will be back soon-ish. my pain's getting better but it's not all the way gone yet and is still bothering me jksdbcds
i found another job and it's much better money so yay and i'm also going to pick up more hours at my weekday job downtown bc i love working downtown and i think i'm going to put in my 2 weeks at the bar so uh shit outta luck to my boss like peace n blessings but ksjbdcs i can't stand it there anymore!!! i hate working at night and coming home late and being spoonless and some of my coworkers are very irritating to work with 😭 the other bartender is 80 and has been with them FOREVER and i feel so bad but like ksdbjc i can't keep working there!!!!
but anyway i'm going to be revamping my ffxiv wol so if you're interested! @bloodshowers
i will start answering some messages on sunday perhaps!! my pain is still not getting better really but 😭 i'm okay to sit for a little while since i have a heating pad at my desk ... also a local bookshop downtown is hiring and i already work downtown so i applied hehe . . . better than nothing until i can find a proper big girl job 😔
okay y’all i can’t even sit at my desk without severe pain so consider this a slight hiatus 😭 i’m not sure how long it’ll take for this to heal but like ohhh my god the pain in my spine is unbearable rn. if it’s not gone my monday or at least improved i’m going to the doctor. 😔
☆☆☆☆ put this star into the inbox of your favorite blogs - it's time to spread positivity! ☆☆☆☆ no brainer!!!!
MISS AQSSAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA thank you omgomgomg! please THIS ALREADY MADE MY DAAAAAAAAAAAY! COMING FROM YOU?????????? this means EVERYTHING!!!!!
like i cannot even begin to describe just how much i adore your blog. you are an endless well of creativity and creation and talent. adella is like, one of the most insanely well-written and thoroughly crafted characters i have ever seen in my LIFE. there is so much depth to her character, to her lore, to her universe, everything! you've given everything so much love and thought and detail and it's, quite frankly WITHOUT exaggeration, one of the highest honors to be able to share a space with someone as gifted as you are. like, the lore you drop is stuff people keep hidden before publishing a great big novel. which, by the way, i would die and fight my way through a line to get my hands on anything you've written like GENUINELY if you were a published author, they ( who's they!!!! colloquial they.... universal they.......... ) would NOT be able to stop me from buying up everything and snatching up multiple editions of the same novel. YOU JUST HAVE THIS WHIMSICALLY POETIC WAY WITH WORDS THAT ITCHES AT MY BRAIN SO GOOOOOOOOOOOD. it's addictive to read and like, if there were anything to be truly obsessed with, it is absolutely your writing. the way you weave words together, the pictures you paint, the doors to worlds you open, my goodness!!!!!!!!
i really cannot overstate just how admirable and awe-inspiring everything you do is, or just how insanely amazing your levels of creativity are. you've developed this complex and multi-faceted character with this fully fleshed out world in so much detail. the way things all connect and tie in to everything and all just makes sense is incredible. LIKE too often i'll read a big-name-author's book and i'll go damn this shit is kinda starting to contradict previous information, and YOUUUU need to be the person giving these trad-pub authors a master class in what to and what NOT to do in character development and world-building!!!! you AREEEE the blueprint!!!!!!!!!!! and your aesthetics are absolutely to die for like is psychedelic candyfloss and sweet perfume with an addictively crisp bite like IT REMINDS ME OF LYCHEE I DON'T KNOW IF THAT MAKES SENSE. your aesthetic to me. lychee and mango and blackberry and lemon. LIKE THERE ARE JUST THINGS I THINK ABOUT WITH ADORATION that in my mind give off certain vibes and scents and flavors that linger and i'm just obsessed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“You shouldn’t be here, it’s not safe in these woods.”
⤷ said @edensbite.
Whether the gesture was a friendly warning or a careful threat, Larys treated it seriously. If that would change the duration of his stay in the woods, well, that was up in the air. And would depend on her answer. As he felt at peace in the woods, day or night, even if it sounded like the trees were speaking to him when the wind blew. As long as it was not silent, he felt close to home, and safe as could be.
“Thank you for the warning,” Larys offered a small bow of the head, “I must have wandered past my usual spot where I know when to turn back. Time and space must have gotten away from me.” He looks up, the sun seeming to have disappeared over the hills as the moon climbed to its usual spot in the sky. “Though, we both should be returning to the city if it is so dangerous. If you wouldn't mind the company?”
eden knows full well just what it is that lurks in these woods and the dangers they brought, vicious and relentless, unabated by the warmth in the sun's protection and wholly emboldened by the luminescent glow of the moon. after all, she is one of them. a far cry from the demon she'd been what felt like an eon ago, but a danger all the same; there are no better hunting grounds than a lush forest with brambles and leaves thick in the underbrush and endless canopy and shrouds of shadow.
tipping her head back to peer up at the moon, still faint and dim with the early evening's veil, eden smiles carefully, keeping her mouth tight and lips sealed as she straightens to level her gaze with the stranger. " quite easy to get lost in woods that large, especially when there's so much to look at, " she muses melodically, a friendly enough of a lilt to her voice as she could steep into it. " but far too many little beasties running about for my liking, especially at this hour. " her lips stretch slightly at her joke, a quiet secret trapped at the tip of her tongue. curtsying, she rises, a soft glimmer dancing in her eyes. " i can never say no to an escort. eden — pleased to meet you. "
@devoreve sent : “… you aren’t my first encounter with a creature cursed by bloodlust ,” valora began, taking a commanding step toward the other ; holding eye contact with narrowed brows. “ but you’re the one that hides it best . It does make me wonder, just how many land dwelling leeches there are in reality… it must certainly make things interesting for the humans. “
i know, it's so easy, so easy for you. when you wear the mask so well, people don't seem to notice just how hard it is to keep it steady, to keep it glued to your face, stitched seamlessly into your skin. eden has heard it for what feels like a million times: that it must be easy for her to be so cruel, to be so vicious; that she hides it well, that they never would have known had she not bared her fangs. two different worlds, two different spectrums, all scrutinizing her as a microcosm of what she is.
but it isn't easy, she thinks bitterly. they do not know, they do not see it, the effort it takes to harbor the bloodlust beneath her skin as it itches and claws and burns in her throat, the countless facades she masquerades with to face each person, every unique entity, to be the mirage they thought they needed. and yet, valora sees through eden like cellophane. " more than even i'm aware of, " eden says through a thin smile, one that doesn't quite reach her eyes, but she slips out a soft breath of amused laughter all the same. " you know, it does make things interesting. i try to avoid . . . others of my ilk. we get territorial, and i've a social reputation to uphold. "
me giving eden and cherry bpd and it's SOOOOO fucking funny to me because it manifests similarly but so differently like eden's bpd doom is like chaotic and destructive toward the world; meanwhile cherry is also destructive but like in a self-martyring self-sacrificing isolationist avoidant self-harming way.

on kindness. and once again this got longer than intended.
eden does not do well with kindness. not in delivering it, and most certainly not in receiving it. she is deeply suspicious of others by default. it only takes one person ( in this case, her sire, ryuuji ) to ruin her perception of people forever and leave her with lifelong trauma and keeps her looking over her shoulder. she will always be suspicious of everyone and their motivations and intentions, especially if they approach her with kindness, flirt with her, etc. because in turn, eden has learned over the century how to weaponize kindness, flirtation, friendship, etc. ryuuji was kind to her, enough to fool her into thinking they were in love ( and though she doesn't know it, they were, in a way ), and she's vowed to never be fooled like that again.
deep down, eden is kind. she'll never admit it, but she acts in kindness, caring for the well-being of others around her. most of her profits go to people in need, like charities and non-profit organizations for animals, women's shelters, victims of domestic violence, etc. she just doesn't want to be seen as personally vulnerable or that there is anything about her that can be exploited as a weakness, so she keeps everyone at arm's length.
when people are kind to her, she pushes them away on instinct. distances herself, whether in suspicion of their ulterior motives, even when they don't have any and are simply kind to be kind, or because it just feels uncomfortable to be on the receiving end of warmth. she doesn't know how to react, really. it's one thing for it to be passing politeness in a way that's business-like or just an in-your-face-formality type thing, but genuine kindness? she's always awkward, will never say thank you, will never admit she may be indebted to you. eden doesn't show her feelings in words or outward emotion, but in quiet acts of service, or will at least tell you she owes you a favor.
behind her cold, hard shell is the woman she once was, before the world — and her state of being, and ryuuji — corrupted her into what, who, she is now. it's hard, having feelings in any capacity, and it's much simpler to compartmentalize it into a corner hidden far beyond the wells of her access, left to be forgotten and never acknowledged. it's easier to be the way she is, distant and unfeeling because if she allows herself to feel, it'll only complicate things and make her weak, because if she allows herself to care then she opens herself up to anger and rage when she feels loss, and an angry eden is vicious.
