Imagining a world where NASA does blood drives to feed it’s astronaut vampires and the main advertising is “YOUR blood is going to feed an ASTRONAUT in SPACE” is,,,, good actually

#I’d imaging getting it like that is easier than like. asking hospitals #ask the employees to do it to that’d be fun #fkskfjskfjs GIVE A PINT OF BLOOD AND GET A FREE TICKET TO THE SPACE MUSEUM #GIVE A PINT AND GET ENTERED INTO A RAFFLE TO MEET THE ASTRONAUT #aapm #I’m counting all the shit I’m worldbuilding towards my nano count #which is the only way I HAVENT already failed

Fake cover for Ad Astra Post Mortem

#aka vampire romance in space #and my failed nano #more info abt it can be found in the AAPM tag on my main blog #and by main blog I mean the-faultofdaedalus #my edits #AAPM

see, if we can use bees and dogs and other animals to sniff out cancers and other diseases, why couldn’t we do the same with vampires

#consider: an extremely large proportions of vampires have side-gigs in the medical field as like. wine conisours but for blood #if you give them enough comparison baseline vamps can ABSOLUTELY taste the difference between healthy blood and unhealthy blood #even like. specific differences #aapm #the difference between cancer or a heart problem or sicle-cell anemia or a hormone imbalance #its good for the medical community: fairly accurate cheap and fast testing #and good for the vamps: get some blood and get paid #i mean SOME conditions do not taste good. that's a risk they have to take.#also! vampire thrall as non-invasive non-addictive pain managment #they can't mind-control people -- that's a myth -- but they can make brains just. forget about pain #which is good for chompin #basically all vampires just. do night/indoor jobs #because Sun #all work-from-home has to be non-camera because normal cameras can't actually. see vampires #you CAN build a camera that can but it's really hard and really expensive #and not really worth it bc vampires are a fuck-off small proportion of the population #there are prob other vamps in NASA tho. hm. so why wouldn't one of them be AV's ground control.#alksjdfasdf answer: none of them fucking get along #and maybe the other noc crew have other jobs

i have lots of lore for aapm (ad astra post mortem aka what i’m calling my nano original thing instead of typing out the whole thing every time bc Fuck it (and also what will be the tag for it so i dont loose my own ideas lol)) and i have not decided on the main two character’s names or pronouns so that’s Fun

#i think we all know they're gonna end up being lesbians tho #IM JUST REFERING TO THEM AS GROUND CONTROL AND ASTRONAUT IN MY HEAD RIP #which i could do for the draft. just. [GG] and [A] instead of names. find+replace later on.#aapm

vampiric astronauts in NASA are fondly referred to as the Knocks. This is both a shortening/malforming of “noc crew” which itself it short for their actual title, “nocturnal crew” and a clever pun re: “what goes bump in the night”

#most space agencies only have a handful of vampires on staff just because of how rare vampires are #and how secluded/secretive many of them still are #there’s not a secret society going it’s just that for most of history the only vampires stories were told about were the vicious ones #and they were counted as devils and demons and such #not. exactly welcoming #aapm #other orgs prob have dif names but IDK enough about dif cultures/dif space agencies to do that. yet.

how do you determine citizenship for someone old enough that the nation they were born in no longer exists

#and do you need to be a citizen to join nasa as an astronaut. asking for me and this vamp fic #and how do you like. prove that #djskfkskdjsj I think that any vampire old enough to not be able to prove where they were born gets to pick any country #and becomes a citizen of that country no questions asked #aapm #like. what if a vampire was born in what is now Canada before it was settled #do they get citizenship based on where the country is now?#all of these questions have very unfortunate colonial implications

trying to figure out what kind of career path a vampire could take to get an end job as Literal Interstellar Astronaut at NASA is.... wild

#they’re basically a live-in maintience crew that doesn’t need to eat or breathe or sleep or keep warm #that will also live forever #so the qualifications needed are a) know how fix ship b) be willing c) patience #and I’m thinking that like. the last two came first.#find someone lonely enough and patient enoug and driven enough to survive the trip #and then train ‘em up #AV may or may not have a pilot’s licence but they have flown a Lot of different planes #not bc they like flying. they don’t. but because it’s a way to get out there #aapm #this is also. the more boring less publicized mission of the couple #the one everyone is crazy about is a Mars launch with 4 humans and 2 knocks on board #humans are in a cryo-ish situation and the vamps are there as backup #unfortunately for AV their mission is slow and boring and will take a REALLY long time #so the media doesn’t care as much after the first month after launch.

i am just. looking up the histories of long distance communication and mail and cartography, bc i figure that’s as good a place to start as any, because i already know AV is going to be.... That, in their past, at least. They’re an explorer and a traveler on the longest roads possible.

#VERY much a journey over destination person #not that the destination isn't important #they know how to fly at least a couple kinds of planes (early and. not) but prefer walking over flying #aapm
