There's a simple solution to make everyone happy:

>99.7% corn syrup

>0.3% sunny

>May contain trace amounts of D

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 months ago

You must've misread that, it says "100% Vitamin C" right on the packaging.

It's pure ascorbic acid.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

If you cut the O in corn syrup in half you get 2 uppercase D’s, therefore, it’s actually 199.4% D. Checkmate

Just like me fr

They should take vitamin D supplements like the rest of us shut-ins.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 3 months ago

Dumbass vampires, I dont go out in the sun either, now we both don't have enough vitamin D.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 months ago (2 children)

There is milk in supermarkets enriched with Vitamin D. Good news for all vampires out their nd for their potential future victims

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 months ago (1 children)

That's why you don't hear about vampire attacks anymore.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

That's a very nice start for a book.

There's a supernatural masquerade, with vampires and witches and werewolves living among us, and all sorts of mundane regulations are just their influence on the government.

You think fluoride in our water supply is for our teeth? Bah! It's a vital mineral nutrient for the goblins and dwarves from the Underdark. They have a treaty with the surface governments to allow them to easily adjust.

Do you post your ficction somewhere on the fediverse? I would like to read what come next.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago

I wish I had the patience to write! I just read a lot of amateur stuff on ArchiveOfOurOwn and this seems like something I'd find there.

Since when can vampires consume food/drink

[–] whotookkarl 2 points 3 months ago

They seem okay with at least one animal fluid, maybe they can handle other animal fluids?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

I believe that since at least the late 1800s with the prototype of the modern vampire, the novel Dracula described vampires eating solid food.
Granted it was mostly done by a crazy vampire, but he didn't seem the bare any I'll effects for the effort.

Thank you, i just discovered another fantasy world i had no idea it existed

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

To be fair I was specifically talking about Nazuna

You know vitamin D suppliments are a thing right?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago

I now realize that banishing garlic from my home is an important public service for the needy.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

They could just eat vegetables and drink more whole milk, the bastards. That's how I get vitamin D without going outside.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (2 children)

The "vampires can't go in the sun" is such a boring trope. I hate Nosferatu for introducing it.
Dracula (not the OG vampire, but the prototype for modern vampires) could go into the sun just fine, it just suppressed their supernatural abilities. That's way more interesting

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Carmilla just liked to get up late. Because she was up all night doing her vampire things.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

And he was shimmering and sparkly?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

🤣

But just in case anyone wants a serious answer: no, they're indistinguishable from a regular human on land. Can't swim tho (deep water kills them or something? I forget exactly).

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Why does it have to be human blood? Why not cow blood or chicken blood?

[–] GrammarPolice 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I dont think human blood is vegan, neither is a lot of vitamin d supplements

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Depends on how you get it. Consenting adults donating their own they can afford to lose? Vegan. Caged up toddlers that can't consent? Not vegan.
