you helped me rediscover myself
when you left.

two years have passed since then
I’ve discovered myself again and again
and all the versions I’ve been
have admired the pain I was in
and none of them blamed neither you or I—
though lamenting the theft of a proper goodbye—
but gratitude you deserve none.
the growth only started when you were long gone.

LIKE OKAY. Y’all wanna discuss the ethics of vampires stealing from blood banks??

1) The blood in banks has been (God willing) freely given away. There are no consent issues there because I agreed they could get the blood out of my veins and give it to someone in need.

2) BUT??? Do I know vampires exist?? Maybe I don’t. Maybe I think the blood is going to humans. If it’s going to vampires instead, well, that isn’t what I agreed to, and that could be skivvy. 

3) Furthermore, if the vampire drinks my blood, humans that needed it won’t get it… but they both need it. So how do you decide who deserves it? Who decides what life is worth saving? Why is the hospitalised human more deserving of blood than the starving vampire?

4) Maybe the human being is paying for it in his hospital fees, and the vampire is not. But does the vampire deserve to starve just cause he hasn’t any money??

5) Or maybe the vampire is centuries-old and has lived plenty already, so maybe he should fuck off and let humans, with their puny lifespans, get help first. Y’all know this is a Whole Thing already with life expectancy and transplant lists, right?.

6) Or actually, why is this being treated as a zero-sum game, like the vampire is taking blood bags directly out of patient’s IVs, instead of a blood bank that can manage stock, even with difficulties? Maybe we should back up and try to fix the blood bank stock issue before harassing vampires about it?

SEE, THIS IS HOW YOU MAKE FUN VAMPIRE DISCOURSE.

[justanawesomeowl]

Counter discourse

1. Vampires where once alive and they lost. Not the blood banks fault, not the poor hospital patients fault. But blood should be prioritized to those who are, you know, alive. So morally, hospital patients have the high ground. Is a life a real life when it’s dead?

2. If vampires really want to get blood from a blood bank they should get in the queue and ask for it. I’m sure there are some bloody request papers for science reasons…

[ace-and-ranty]

Now thats discourse I can get behind!!

[justanothergaymess]

I reject the notion to see vampire patients are less important. The hypocratic oath never centers a notion of aliveness. The most important moral factor in patient care is consensual harm reduction. A hungry vampire is clearly in pain and must be treated with respect as just another patient. Besides, what doctor would advocate for malnutrition in one of their patients? Vampires are just patients with complicated dietary needs

[ace-and-ranty]

(chocked up) you are all soo cool ILU

[justanothergaymess]

Also, if I may add, the insinuation that there is need to debate who is more deserving of the blood wrongly assumes that vampires need the same blood that blood banks have and that the shortage in the supply of blood in the medical sector is some natural immutable phenomenon.

Large parts of the queer population are forbidden from donating blood. Vampires probably don’t mind being fed blood by queer people. Have a seperate supply chain where you distribute blood donated by queer people for vampiric consumption. Or cut out the middleman and have a couple of kinky queer people on duty at all times in major hospitals; the global vampiric population is probably in the low tens of thousands, for every hungry vampire there is a dozen of queer people who are absolutely into that shit. Of course, for those vampires who do not wish for that kind of intimacy, you can still have your queer blood banks.

Furthermore, why is it that when there is a shortage in the medical sector that our first question is “who will we cut off from treatment” and not “why is there a shortage”. The blood crisis is the result of decades of conservative destruction of the medical sector and specifically decades of hatred against queer people. We have a large number of death-defying people with superpowers at our hands. I suggest we send those vampires with sufficient demonic powers into hell to pursue Reagan as a symbolic statement and use the rest to carry out attacks against governments globally. Once we eliminate the continued source of the shortage, we can eliminate the shortage itself.

That’s why we must understand radically compassionate undeathcare as a revolutionary principle, comrades,

[ace-and-ranty]

“I suggest we send those vampires with sufficient demonic powers into hell to pursue Reagan" is NOT where I thought this would go, but I cannot stop laughing.

Consider also: blood expires. You could potentially source at least one bag a night that’s due to expire the next day and would otherwise be thrown away. If it’s going to otherwise be discarded, is it really a problem if someone goes all Capri Sun on it?

[mecharaven]

Also, people whose blood may be unsafe for donation because of disease or genetic defects can still donate blood and it be safe for vampires. Blood type does not matter for consumption, but it does for infusion.

Vampires can volunteer for tasks that may be dangerous/deadly to the living, like rescuing unconscious miners from pockets of noxious gas, because they do not need to breathe.

so i managed to go two years in a pandemic without getting covid and just when it’s the absolut worst time to sit in isolation the test results come back positive grrrrr
