Vampirekin tips

Things I do to make me feel more connected to my vampire self.

🦇 - wearing cool sunglasses. i have a whole collection including red tinted ones and bat shaped ones

🪦 - carrying around a small vial of my home soil. In old vampire stories such as Dracula, vampires have to carry soil from their homeland with them when they go abroad. I just got some dirt from my backyard and put it in a small jar that I carry with me when I go out.

🍷 - adding food colouring to drinks - red hot chocolate is amazing

🕯️- lighting candles, especially grave lights. you can get scented candles and grave lights at pretty much any supermarket very cheap, or if you wanna get fancy with it you can get bleeding candles on amazon and Etsy.

⚰️ - lying on my back with my arms crossed. I don’t sleep in that position but I use it to relax or when meditating or listening to music.

🥀 - taking strolls around the cemetery at night, talking to the ghosts and tending to graves. just remember to be respectful and follow grave yard etiquette!

For My Fellow Vampirekin

How is it for you? I know what it’s like to be dysphoric about your kin. My permanent shift is a vampire, and I know the feeling when you don’t feel like what you’re supposed to be. Here are some tips:

How to act like a vampire:

-I like to stand still in corners and cross my arms. 

-Take walks at night, but be safe!

-Lie on your back and cross your arms when you lie down. (Unless you’re like me and you can’t because astral wings)

-Be up at night if you can! But remember your human vessel needs sleep! I know, it sucks having to take care of this body, but sleep is important.

-Read old gothic and horror books! I recommend Edgar Allen Poe, he’s a classic I’ll always love. 

-Look at antique shops!

What to eat:

-I know, it sucks, but you can’t really drink human blood in this body. Substitute it for cranberry juice, red grape juice (or red wine if you can), or other red juices. Maybe even try pork blood if you want to be more authentic (If you can stomach it lol). I also enjoy rare steak. Also, bite apples or other juicy foods like you used to bite necks.

What to wear:

-I have a faux leather jacket I like to wear. I also like to wear a cape around the house. I also like leather boots, skirts, black jeans, fishnets, tights, or lace tights, and black button ups. 

-Buy gear at the Halloween store! I get capes and accessories from there during October for shifts!

-If you’re an unlucky vampire like me and you have braces that stop you from wearing fake fangs, use sculpy clay! It’s oven bake clay that comes in all sorts of colors. I put them over my canines and braces to mold them, then stick them in the oven. Be careful when putting this over your teeth though. This also works if you don’t have braces and can’t buy teeth.

Hope this helps!
