I am back on my absolute Bullshit and there is nothing but OC lore below the cut
Okay. So. Vampires. I have an OC world. I have original writings and ramblings and things and ✨ jazz hands here ✨ ideas for future content use. But the most important thing I should just. Write down and scream to the void at some point is my Vampires. There are actually 4 distinct species of Vampire, and only two of them are fucking related at all. The other two are just convergent evolution saying hello like the carcanization processes of our world.
With that outta the way? FISH VAMPIRES. SEA DWELLING MFs. The key traits include bioluminescence, scales, androgeny, long "hair" and hermaphroditism. Basically, long long time ago there was a big ass Dragon, right? And it was in charge of the dark. Well, the truest, deepest, darkest place in the world is of course the bottom of the ocean. So deep the sun could never reach. Even the moon was "light reflected" so the surface? Ehhh. Not so useful. Old Dragon fucker was named Vaals, and set about mitigating things that could pass from deep to shallows.
Well some mixing inevitably happens; as it does in water. Sediment finds its level but life constantly evolves. So this siren swims down and she is so sure of herself and so beautiful and so fucking on point. And then she meets. The dragon. And she is NO LONGER the most beautiful thing, because how can you be more beautiful than a singular concept made manifest? She is of course, offended by this. And she tries to illuminate the ol' dreggin. Yeah, no? No. That didn't go too well. It's like staring into the center of an iris, it's not reflective of light. You can light the surroundings but not the actual subject in question.
But she is intelligent and not so scared. And so she's offered to stay. And to hell if this Siren doesn't stay! But she gets lonely with little to do and nothing to lure or torment, even if she can catch her own food. So what's this sea critter do? She talks to the dragon! And the Dragon comes up with a solution. It could lay eggs and suffuse them with her genetic material so she's not so incredibly bored anymore. Give or take a little while for whatever pops out to mature. She's game!
And so, those eggs made the first of the sea vampires- the Met Halla Van. The clutch didn't get individual names, that wasn't a thing they did back then. Even having forms of communication was a total pain because this was like, Cambrian era evolution. They little hatchies grow up, yay, and keep the siren company. And she dies of old age. Which, eventually, was bound to happen. But the little vampires just... didn't. They reached maturity and stayed that way.
A few of them died from sea critters or decompression swimming up or from light, which, understandable. But the numbers were dwindling. So they got together and thought, OK. Being lonely is kinda shit actually. So they lay eggs of their own and fertilize them. And, as it turns out, when your progenitors are a concept made manifest, a fuck load of magic and only one creature's genetic material, you kinda just take after the genetic material part.
So these vampires make a stable deep sea breeding/cycle experiment. They sort of lamprey on big things but by and large are just vibing (tm) with Dragon Parent. But, as time goes on and more foreign material gets introduced into the mix via food, blood, stray magic, etc, the critters start to deviate. The fishies that don't die after hatching look, generally, more and more and more like the bipedal siren than a mix of a dragon and a siren. Some of those little ones have bad fangs, a lack of fins for propulsion, and all that. So there has to be a solution to safeguarding these weird little genetic abominations. The eventual solution was to move up in the northernmost regions and hide directly under and inside ice shelves they started to hollow out.
So the "land walking" fish vampires were referred to as the Van Van Vaals. They can feed off the blood of each other, or fish, or people that wreck ashore into the icebergs. More on that... Later? Later. Different post this one is long enough.

Twin Peaks - division by zero 1
Author: Akira
Characters: Hiiro, Kaoru, Hinata, Yuuta
Translator: Mika Enstars
Proofers: 310mc & feesh
"Hmm? What do you mean, “too”? No way, Hakaze-senpai, did you...!?"
Season: Autumn
Location: Starmony Hall Common Room
Tumblr media
That night…
Yuuta: And so, this calls for a family meeting!
Hinata: Yup. We felt that there was no point in continuing from where we were, so we should rethink details, courses of action, and such.
Kaoru: And for some reason, we’re being pulled into your family meeting too...
Anzu-chan can’t enter the Starmony Dorms, and I’m in too deep to have the heart to leave, so now I’m here to accompany you guys.
Hiiro: Heheh, well, we live under not only the same roof, but in the same rooms as well, so I think we count as family in a broad sense![1]
Hinata: Yes, Hiiro-kun said something great once again! You’ve earned 50 Hinata-kun points! There’s somethin’ I like about the way you put things... ♪
Yuuta: Y’know, he’s perfect for you, Aniki—strong and simple. You’re too reckless, you’ll end up breaking anyone who needs to be handled sensitively.
Hinata: Oh no~, you’d even call Onii-tan something like brutish?![2]
Yuuta: It’s not like I’m any different, but I’m talking about how you keep up that act of yours…
Hiiro: Haha, I don’t fully understand what you’re talking about, but I’ve finished preparing our dinner for tonight. Why don’t we continue talking while we eat? Besides, even if nothing else, we all need nourishment to keep living.
Hinata: Thankies! Usually it’s Shiina-senpai makin’ something even if we don’t ask, but he’s on some expedition today, right?
Hiiro: Indeed. Crazy:B is still in a difficult position, so he’s been pretty busy as a chef.
He flew to Alaska because he apparently said he has to gather ingredients for cooking contests and the like.
Hinata: Why Alaska, of all places…? Though considering we’re talking about him, it’s likely he just blurted it out without thinking.
Hiiro: Yeah, Shiina-san tends to say thoughtless things when he’s hungry.
Kaoru: Alright now, I get you guys might not like facing your problems, but let’s talk about ourselves rather than other people, ‘kay?
Though I am a little concerned about Shiina-kun, too. We’ve worked together before, so I feel as if we’re friends.
Yuuta: Personally, I don’t really care about Crazy:B... I’d prefer to not involve myself with them as much as possible. It’d be a problem if they pour poison in me again.
Hinata: But Yuuta-kun, you think that poison is so delicious that you always slurp up every last bit of it!
Yuuta: Zip it...
Anyways, what should we do? I don’t think the idea of whoever wins a showdown between Aniki and I gets to appear on Volcano Island was a bad one by itself, though.
Hinata: Well, it doesn’t seem like the both of us making an appearance is an option, so we can’t really escape choosing which one of us gets to perform. They won’t wait for us to make a decision, either.
Yuuta: Yeah, the program originally had a policy to not let idols appear, so…
If we keep dawdling about some problem, the mere possibility of appearing on the program will likely go up in smoke.
Hinata: If we come to the conclusion that it won’t benefit us in any way, then that’s a way to solve this issue, as well. A wise man keeps away from danger, so we could ignore it, and move on.
Yuuta: But if we do that, it won’t be a good look for us regarding music programs, and even the Vice Prez. Going “Oh, we can’t do it after all” after we’ve already taken something on is just going to make them think, “The hell?”
Hinata: Mhm, not to mention, we practically forced Anzu-san into this mess, so it’s not gonna impress her if we don’t give her anything to come back with.
Actually, never mind, I don’t think anything would change, considering it’s her we’re talking about.
Maybe it’s ‘cuz of my move during the Repayment Fes, but I feel she’s even more stubborn than usual…[3]
The line drawn between idol and producer is starting to feel more like an impassable valley.
Tumblr media
Kaoru: Huh, what? Did you do something like confess your love to her at Repayment Fes too, Hinata-kun...?
Hinata: Hmm? What do you mean, “too”? No way, Hakaze-senpai, did you...!?
Kaoru: No no no no, it’s not anything like that![4]
...Ahh, would you look at that! Anzu-chan’s calling me!
Hinata: Don’t change the subject, now~! How’d you propose? “I want to be your Yuuta-kun”, perhaps?!
Yuuta: You would confess like that, wouldn’t you? Do you really think that’ll make someone’s heart flutter?
Kaoru: Okay, quiet down a little! Anzu-chan’s voice is soft and quiet, so it’s hard to hear her over the phone—
Hmm? Ah, yes! I’m talking about the matter with 2wink and Hiiro-kun over dinner right now!
Hinata: Ah~... Did Anzu-san call because she was concerned about us?
Yuuta: Then why is she talking to Hakaze-senpai instead of contacting us directly...?
Does this mean you’re able to talk freely about even more sensitive matters? Congrats to the newly wedded couple!
Kaoru: Don’t tease… She’s genuinely worried right now…
It’s probably just because of what happened at the Setsubun Festival that she’s too nervous about interfering with 2wink directly.
Hinata: That’s gonna affect us forever, huh…
Yuuta: I personally feel like it had to happen, though. But okay, I get it now—she contacted you instead of Hiiro-kun, since he doesn’t know anything about the Setsubun Festival. So it was just a process of elimination.
Kaoru: Uu...! I’m happy she picked me, even if it was only just that…!
Hiiro: Hmm, at this point, even a process of elimination would be okay—we just need to decide who from 2wink will perform.
Kaoru: Yep, that’s why we’re discussing the matter together right now—To find the best way to do that.
Two heads are better than one—And we have four people with us now, so I’m sure we’ll come up with really nice ideas! ♪
Uhyah!? Anzu-chan says “there are five people!”
Should we let her participate in the meeting using HoldHand’s telework function, then?
Yuuta: Oh yeah, there was a function for that, wasn’t there? It was some sort of video call function like Skype’s. Then, let’s go ahead and invite Anzu-san to our room...
Hiiro: I see! Since the dormitory doesn’t allow women, Anzu-san can’t enter, but using data it becomes possible to invade and explore. You found the rule’s blind spot, huh?
Kaoru: Yep. I doubt we’d be allowed to do this in private rooms, of course, but this is a shared space, so it’s okay. ...Oh, it’s connected!
Hinata: Heheh~! Welcome to the rumored men’s dormitory! ♪
Yuuta: Ahaha, good evening, Anzu-san~! ♪ Are you at home right now?
Kaoru: Ggh, Anzu-chan looks so cute in casual wear...!
Wait, is that... is Anzu-chan in her room right now?
Oh right, you commute to ES from your home, right? I-Is this really alright for me to see?!
Yuuta: Get a hold of yourself, Hakaze-senpai. What happened, I thought you were supposed to always be reliable...?
Hinata: Hehe. But y’know, I’m happy. There’s all sorts of people thinking of us. It’s not just the two of us anymore.
Yuuta: But that’s also what makes it so hard. We can’t be burdening the people around us...
Though that doesn’t mean I want to return to that simple mindset where it’s just you and I, and everyone else are our enemies…
Hinata: Yeah, especially since we now have to fight amongst ourselves. I doubt we would’ve been able to survive this.

Another reference to Ainu culture! Unlike large historical Japanese families, Ainu families would live on a single plot of land among one another, and reside in a single house. For example, upon marrying into a family, that person would move onto their land and into their house. If a couple had children, the house would be expanded to make room, so on and so forth.
The return of “Atai Hinata!” Refer to last chapter’s TL note.
During the Repayment Festival of the previous year, Hinata made a subtle move towards Anzu, asking her if she had a crush on any of the idols in Yumenosaki. She responded firmly that a producer/idol relationship is unprofessional and she cares about her work, as well as her idols, very much… It embarrassed Hinata a lot.
It is.
