Fascinated that you appreciate only non-vampiric eroticized blood-drinking. Tell me more.
ok so there's two aspects to this!
first: I find vampires SO boring. idk why! they just are, to me, and always have been! goes along with werewolves and zombies as being a major yawn despite so many people loving the tropes. whereas! if characters are eroticizing blood related stuff when they AREN'T supernatural beings who must drink blood to live, then they're being freaks for their own sake, and that's fun :)
second: when my main fandoms are all set in handwavey ancient china, it's.....weird. to me. to read fanfic making the characters be very specifically a european supernatural being. it feels a bit colonialism flavoured, you know?
EDIT: also! the birds! yes you're SO right about the rails and things and it's delightful to remember, every time!
