quick bit of fun vampire lore since i’m on my vampire!salt raiders (vampire ebbz my fucking beloved) bullshit again but i think vampires would make blood supplements (things w/ human blood in them) designed to help ease cravings inbetween feedings. like these guys have been around for centuries they’re gonna make accomodations and supports for themselves.
there’s a lot of different ways to take these supplements, designed to be accessible and easy to hide amongst humans
pills if you are boring (or if you don’t like the taste of blood because you’re newly turned and still coping poorly)
lollipops
gummies
chewing gum (quality varies wildly. don’t chew for too long, it tends to get a funky “mummified meat” taste after too long and becomes unpleasant)
‘energy’ drinks
chocolates as vampires have a different taste palette and it is widely accepted fact that type b+ blood and chocolate fucks HARD (some instant hot chocolate things made by vampires have dried/dehydrated type b+ chucked in for the flavour, but most would rather make this combo fresh if they could since the aftertaste of blood treated so it can be stored longer is quite noticeable. if you’re busy as hell they’re still good)
mock blood bags that are filled with juice and a small amount of blood to give it a kick (good for people who’re trying to break a habit of over consuming blood. also tasty)
