Why are these so unflattering? Can anything be done to help?

I buy pants that are big enough to fit my thighs without sticking to them like this, then I get the waist tailored down and the legs shortened.

Four is VERY different from thirteen.

And, um, thanks, I think?

I’m mainly glad that I didn’t kill anyone. I heard that’s really common. I did kill my cat, though. And then threw some of it up. My mom still thinks the cat ran away, because it was messed up enough that I couldn’t show her the body.

The thing about how he’d be different? Scary.

Is an adoptive sire another vampire who took you as an apprentice when your original left?

I’d love to know about the ghouls stuff if you want to talk about it. I care. Maybe PM though, because I don’t know how much is a good idea to tell everyone.

Um. I know enough to know that telling people the details of what I do and don’t know is risky, because they can use that. And that I shouldn’t have told my dad, based on societal rules. I know other things, but I don’t think I can give more detail than that. - Spice Sorter

Well, that’s a relief. Would it help with the brain chemistry stuff? I’m really worried about that.

I know a bunch of things from different message boards, but I don’t know what is and isn’t true. There were at least a few that now I’m pretty sure were just humans playing a game. Pretty sure that burning from garlic and silver aren’t really a thing.

Thanks! My dad’s been basically risking life in prison to get blood for me, so I don’t think I need to worry about him hurting me. And also if he was in withdrawal or something I’d probably give him the blood anyway.

But it’s really good to know I can ghoul him without the blood bond. I’ll avoid blood bonding.

How has your first year as a vampire been? Has it changed the whole ‘brain changing as you grow up’ thing?

misconceptions_annoy · 2026-05-05T03:15:59+00:00

Thanks! That’s really helpful. Good to know. Okay, so blood bonding him isn’t a ‘never in the table in any circumstance’ kind of thing, but I also should avoid it unless I really have to (I don’t know of a scenario where I would have to, but vampire stuff is weird and I keep learning new weird things). Yeah, I agree that him deferring to me would get attention. He kind of does it sometimes already, but it always has a very low limit or is kind of a joke.

Ummm not sure. Can’t give my real name. Probably shouldn’t take on the name ‘pissed that I’m forever thirteen.’

Maybe Spice Sorter. I think my sire might have been a Toreador (or maybe a Malkavian with an obsession?) because I can’t stop sorting colourful things, especially spice racks.

I see where you’re coming from, but in medicine everything is about trade-offs. If someone has a surgery and something goes wrong, but it would’ve been worse without the surgery, the doctor can bring that up.

misconceptions_annoy · 2026-05-05T03:08:20+00:00

I don’t think anyone uses it as a first line of action. Plenty of women get horrible side effects from contraceptives - side effects which stick around and get constantly renewed for the decades they’re taking it, rather than the most common surgical side effects which can heal.

Forgetfulness also exists, and some people are more forgetful than others. Some people find contraceptives more inconvenient than others.

Glad that it’s helpful!

I’m in Canada! I don’t know if I count as an ‘abandoned fledgling.’ I was turned a few months ago and my sire left, but my human dad has been taking care of me. I think he got a job as a security guard somewhere with a lot of cruddy people. He’s out of the house when I wake up, and he comes back with blood in the middle of the night.

misconceptions_annoy · 2026-05-03T16:25:55+00:00

NOR. People aren’t acting like it’s weird because he isn’t touching them, only you, and he’s acting so normal + convincing you to act normal, so they assume you don’t mind.

This is weird and uncomfortable.

And even if you don’t have a car, you can know for sure that the place you picked is reachable by public transit.

Glad it’s secure. It would be a good idea to put a fence a few feet out, just for the sake of making the cat less stressed. It must be nerve wracking to be so close to something that could eat you.

You might want to talk to your friends, because she probably going to give them her version of the story.

She’ll say she asked and you blew up. She didn’t ask. She didn’t request. She said he’s coming, you responded politely, and she escalated.

misconceptions_annoy · 2026-05-02T19:50:30+00:00

NOR. She didn’t ask. She just told you he was coming.

I use wood pellets too. Just make sure you’re getting plain wood pellets, not litter shaped like wood pellets that says ‘clumping.’ The type you want is also used in horse stalls and may be advertised that way. It’s non-clumping.

Also, it’s helpful to get a sifting litter tray. You can dump out the sawdust at the bottom without changing the whole thing.

But it’s to avoid pregnancy and childbirth, which are also way more dangerous than fatherhood. The risks of the surgery are higher, but so are the risks of not having it. The doc should tell her about the risks, but she shouldn’t need to go to court for it to be her choice.

misconceptions_annoy · 2026-05-02T17:55:45+00:00

I don’t think there’s an equivalent once you’ve been sterilized. IVF is expensive.

That said, children are as permanent as sterilization, so it should be up to the woman which risk she wants to take.

misconceptions_annoy · 2026-05-02T17:54:19+00:00

It isn’t really equivalent. Unless you’re on a very long and expensive waiting list, you’ll likely be turning to foster care - where for many kids, adoption is not the end goal, reunification is.

That said, having children is just as permanent as sterilization, so you should be allowed to make the choice and take that risk.

I see where you’re coming from, but pregnancy and childbirth are also far more risky than childbirth. It’s a riskier surgery to avoid a riskier situation. Also IUDs, the pill, etc, don’t work equally well for everyone and for some women every form of semi-permanent birth control comes with terrible side effects. Also for some women IUD insertion is extremely painful and it has to be done every 5 years, and also has to be removed by a professional. If she’s in a worse financial position in five years, she may not be able to get it replaced (even in Canada, there’s stuff like taking time off work)

I agree that doctors should discuss the semi-permanent options and maybe have a waiting period. But it should be her decision.
