I need to talk about my dream because it sure was A Thing. I won't get into details, though.
So, basically, I dreamed about a vampire that joined a crew of humans that were on their way to a potentially habitable planet to study its resources, as well as discern if there was life in there because we wanted to colonize it and it would make things complicated.
The vampire's working and no one suspects her, they send her to study an area and she finds a dark pyramid there, gets inside and finds algae in the gap between ceramic tiles. She also finds out the pyramid has a lot more levels that go deep underground, the first of which is a maze with many doors. Not only has the vampire found life in this planet (algae), but there's definitely intelligent life in there. She decides to enter the maze, sneaking as best as she can, opening door after door, until finally she sees the aliens, humanoid but blue, wearing bronze armor. They were aware of something strange happening nearby and were prepared to fight back. Our vampire had only barely opened the door, so none but one of the guards had seen her, a woman with a serious face and dark "hair", who immediately rushed to the door to reprimand what she thought was another guard, but then she was met by the vampire's "sorry!", and then the vampire ran back to camp and pondered whether or not she should tell the humans.
She decided to go a second time to study the aliens's culture from the shadows, see if they would be open to relationships with humans, trade, whether they ate the same stuff as humans...and then she saw her again, and the alien saw her too. The vampire wanted to talk to her, know why she hadn't warned anyone of her presence, ask her a thousand questions and tell her about her own species. Then, she wondered: "how do I even talk to her?" and "how do I tell her what my species is like, but that it's different with me because I'm dead? Will she think I'm weird or will she understand?"
Like man I don't know about you but I ship this hard
Vampire x Alien is valid 💖
