You beat me to it.

[Making a post on the matter, he means.]

But to answer the question, it's not just you. Even I wasn't able to avoid them forever.

Those motherfuckers are strong. Way too strong.

The only silver lining to this is that we're just as strong as them now.

You did??? I got bit but they didn't drink enough to turn me or anything. But do you need help? Blood? Cake? Blood cake? (I was baking some anyway, Hina-chan's birthday's on the 7th and I wanna try and figure out how a blood cake is gonna work)

I don't really need anything. I've got the blood handled. Between hunting down criminals, donations from the hospital, and friends willing to let me bite them.

But I'll still help with your cake. You're lucky, because I have a really good palate.

Really? I'll take you some over! I usually give Hina-chan blood I get from the butcher, and mostly it's in juice boxes, but I wanted to try making a cake.

Are you gonna be okay, Katsuki-kun?

The blood might break down in the cake. I haven't tried cooking with it myself yet so I'm not sure. But I think if you use enough of it, it shouldn't matter if it does. It should still taste like it enough to be good enough for Hina.

And if I'm honest? I don't know. I don't know if I'll be okay, Aimoto-senpai. I don't feel like it.

But time's supposed to heal all wounds or whatever. So I'll have to get over it eventually.

Katsuki-kun... I'm gonna keep on trying. For you too, and Ren-san, and everyone else who got turned. I wanna help. Maybe you won't even be stuck like that forever.

Maybe.

[He doubts it. But he won't damper on Rinku's parade by letting her know.]

It helps to know I'm not alone. It feels like I'm the only person on the goddamn planet dealing with this.

[It's so isolating, being a blood sucking monster.]

I guess it would, huh. Sorry... What all else stuff do you need while I'm packing it?

Nothing. You don't have to go out of your way to bring me anything special. Just the cake is enough.

[too late she's already planning]

I dunno how to help you guys un-vampire yet, so this is what I can do right now.

[NO!!!!]

I get it. It's got to be frustrating watching your friends have to go through this without being able to really help them.

[...]

Thank you. For wanting to at least try and cheer me up.

Of course! If you're hurt and sad, I gotta at least try and do something.

Just trying is enough.

[Especially for a boy who's still a little new to genuine connections with other people.]

Don't worry! I'll have stuff over to your place right away. You still live with Hijikata-san and Shouto-kun and them, right?

Yeah. For now.

[To be honest, he's been thinking of asking if he can just stay with them permanently. But that also feels like way too much...]

Todoroki won't let me leave. And now that I've went and gotten myself attacked he REALLY won't let me go anywhere else.

Because you're still recovering, right? Is there anything fun you need to get too?

Because I'm recovering, yeah.

[Is there anything fun he needs? Fun... what does Katsuki even find fun--]

And I don't know. I don't really have fun in the same way everyone else does. Everything that's fun for me is violent.

Hm... do you guys have games or anything?

No. There's no TV here. Neither Sensei or Todoroki have a need for one, and this house looks like it was built in 1800's Japan.

A TV would just be weird in the middle of the sitting room.

[Mike had to make a TV to watch movies with him...]

is it bad im glad it aint just me?

If it is then I must be the world's biggest asshole. Because the whole point of me asking if anyone else has turned is to find someone that can relate.

I don't know if it's a good thing that other people can relate. But it makes me feel better knowing I'm not the only idiot who let this happen.

my ex girlfriend told me vampires are sexy. But only the ones that sparkle

and we dont sparkle in the fucking sun

i guess if it sucks at least it sucks less if it sucks for all of us?

idk

the vamps broke down my fucking door. and ate me.

and not in the fun way.

What the hell kind of vampires sparkle? I'd hate to be one of those. If I'm going to be something this stupid and evil at least let me have the cool super powers that come with it.

[This poor guy and his ex who thought vampires were hot... Katsuki can just imagine how mad he must feel now that he's one after the breakup.]

Sorry they broke into your home. That's a step too far even for monsters. Can't they just stick to the people that are outside already?

Maybe you got caught in a stupid way, but the bitch ambushed me when I was reloading my weapon. That's all.

[Even replying to this hurt her ego...]

They run faster than we can blink. I wouldn't blame yourself too hard for that one.

[He can feel the pain of the same of being attacked while reloading...]

I suppose I can't say that I know how you feel since I was born this way instead of turned, but I kind of do.

Every time my memories reset, I had to come to terms with being what I am all over again. I still struggle with it. And you've had so much change in so short a time, too.

It's not easy to come to terms with. Whether you're like me and you've been human your whole life, or you don't remember that you were a vampire to begin with. I don't think it matters. It sucks either way.

I think I'm starting to accept that I can't fight what I've become. And I hate that I can't.

Fighting it won't do anything but make you and everyone who loves you miserable, trust me, I tried.

The only thing to do is what you've always done: try and use your abilities to do some good. That's the best I've got.

I know.

[Every single person he's talked to has tried so hard to help reassure and comfort him. He knows that seeing him in denial was hard for them... it'd be so much easier if he could just accept everything and think that being a vampire was some really cool boon.]

I'm trying my best. I've started writing down what abilities I've gained since turning and what I can do with them to help my fighting style. There's pretty much nothing that will make me feel like being a monster is okay. But at least I have a one-up on my enemies now.

Super strength and speed are extremely useful powers. I was always jealous of Deku and his Quirk, because it gave him those two things.

[And now he has them for himself. Maybe.. if he relates to Izuku like this. He can come to actually like his new powers...]

Your best is more than good enough. I think it's okay that you're not okay with being a monster. It's okay if you never are. I wish someone had told me that.

I'll help you figure out the ropes of your new abilities, if you like. Like I encouraged you to listen for heartbeats while we were off killing them.

I'd be an idiot if I refused your help. You're such a pro with your abilities. Which makes sense, now that I know you were born with them. I thought you were just someone who picked up on shit quick.

And... thanks. Everyone keeps telling me that it's okay to be a vampire. But it feels like shit forcing myself to act like it doesn't bother me. I needed to hear that it's fine if I'm never happy to be a monster.

[...ohhh it's bad her initial reaction to this news is excitement, develop some fucking empathy Evangeline-]

I don't think it's a stupidity thing? I saw them attacking a lot of people. Do you need anything?

[evangeline now is not the time to get horny over vampires----]

It's a stupidity thing when you're supposed to be at home healing from a fresh amputation and you decide that's the perfect time to go check out why the Sun stopped working. I didn't even have a chance against the guy who got me.

And no. I don't need anything. I'm covered on the blood front and the only thing I need other than that is my fucking humanity back. But that's not something you can help with.

[She knows, okay, she knows…]

Okay yeah that’s not the smartest thing to do, but you know that so beating yourself up for it doesn’t help? At least, that’s the kind of thing people told me when I died a while back.

I'm so angry with myself that I don't know what else to do besides beat myself up. I've already went on a vampire killing spree and that didn't help either.

Kid, are you serious?

[He's not judging! But geez, Bakugo can't catch a break. Boothill was pretty immune to vampires for obvious reasons and didn't need to worry about them. He had a ton of fun kicking their asses, too. So, he wasn't going to judge or nothing. But he still couldn't help being flabbergasted anyway.]

[The moment Katsuki sees that Boothill has responded, he feels a wave of shame wash over him. Especially after reading what he wrote. He thought Boothill was so cool and wanted to be like him, and now he has to admit that he got himself in this stupid situation by trying to be heroic when he shouldn't have been...]

I wish I wasn't.

But I wanted to help by being a light source where people needed it. I thought I'd be fine. I thought that even if I was still healing from an amputation that I was healed enough to at least walk someone home.

And then I was attacked from behind.

I ain't tryin' to scold ya, kid. Walkin' someone home shoulda been a cake walk for ya.

[No use rubbing salt in the wound and it seemed pretty obvious Bakugo was torn up about it.]

No one coulda predicted the forkin' bloodsuckers. Tried to take me while I was down but them yellow bellied shirtbags found out the hard way just what kinda blood is runnin' through my veins. I got lucky, I'm sorry you didn't. Is there anythin' I can do?

[Oh... Katsuki's not sure how to react when, rather than being scolded for making a dumb decision, he's told that it should've been as easy as he expected it to be. And that he was sorry he didn't get as lucky as Boothill had. It's tough when you're being hard on yourself and you're almost looking-- wanting for other people to be just as hard on you. And instead, they reach out with empathy.]

I don't know. I don't know if there's anything anyone can do right now. All I want is to be human again.

[And all anyone can do is just.. wait for now. Wait to see if someone finds a way to cure vampirism.

Katsuki does think for a moment about what Boothill might be able to do, specifically. There's not a lot in mind, but maybe a little bit of violence would help him feel better?]

Do you have an extra gun laying around anywhere? I could use the shooting practice. I'm having one installed in my new arm and I want to own a pistol as a backup.

[He's been really getting into guns, lately. As he's been trying to figure out what to supplement his fighting style with, since he has to completely re-work it from the ground up.]

I was also turned, unfortunately. I'm sorry you've had to deal with it too.

It's a lot to adjust to.

Edited 2025-05-22 09:58 (UTC)

[So many people responded... it makes Frieda feel better to not be the only one, she can't lie.]

I was turned too. I'm still adjusting.

[She could write so much more - about her mental crisis over being dead yet still alive, her inability to still enjoy her favourite pasttime of swimming in the sunlit sea in mermaid form, now relegated to the nighttime hours, the way she can't enjoy food anymore when cooking and sharing meals with her boyfriend made her so happy -, but she opts to spread some practical advice rather than her personal sob story.]

There are multiple butchers in Nightwake willing to provide us with blood and blood products. I would hope that no one resorts to drinking the blood of living beings, unless they have willing donors.
