Doesn't everyone have blood that whispers to them?

I'm here and I'm gone. Why don't you join me?

[totallynotamalkavian]

An unexpected arrival, or a planned meeting?

Were you expecting me, or was I expecting you?

Did we get lost, or are we exactly where we need to be?

Do you know where any of the lines are?

If you want to stay, I suppose I will too.

Maybe we can uncover the delights of not knowing, together?

[Image description: A view from a hallway, there's an archway into a small lounge space. The main source of light is a plain lamp on a coffee table, but there is something around the corner giving a blue glow to the wall on the right. There is a chair facing away from the viewer towards the source of blue light, and a painting on the wall. There is a bookshelf with a clock, various books, photos and trinkets. Text at the top of the image reads: "How did you get here?...How did I get here?" Text at the bottom reads: "...Are we gone? Should we stay?"]

you know it really isnt immoral, if you do it right, to raise cows and sheep for meat. so. well. i think there should be a story about, vampires who have a town of humans that they keep well-maintained, so long as the humans donate their blood once a month, like vampire blood farm stuff

but instead of antagonistic everyone's like. no he's a nice man you leave the count alone. he keeps us safe and cared for and he just needs a lil snack now and then, it dont hurt anyone. like a cow that loves the farmer and the farmer that loves the cow, even with both knowing one will end up on the other's table. because its like. its like. cows just have such pretty eyes, you know? they love you so much. i think it should be like that

literallyyyyyy

i want to be part of a vampire's herd. and i want him to pet me like a cow

It's only safe for humans to donate a full unit of blood every eight weeks (and even if they only manage to get a partial out of you, they still recommend you wait 2 months), so our hypothetical count would need to have 56 healthy, non-anemic humans in his pool, presuming he needs a full 500 mL of blood each feeding, and he needs to feed once per day.

Obviously, a vampire family will need a larger community to care for, scaling linearly with the number of adult members of the family, assuming the above blood intake.

This still lets a vampire build a healthy relationship with his herd, presuming that he has Traditional Human Dinner with his donor before feeding, or some other social bonding ritual, on a rotating basis.
