Being a blood sucking denizen of the night is not always that easy, like how the heck do you obtain your midnightsnack.
So lets look at some of the old ideas, yes this idea is reported in some books by authors that could look to read a few medical books first
1. Sucking blood through the skin or pores of the victim er? Like how does that work?
Now I am no doctor but you must need lungs like a hydraulic pump to make that sort of trick work.
The nearest thing I have tried to this is cupping which is painful and if anyone says it does not is lying!
This is what you look like after a nice calming Cupping session or rather in my case screams of pain followed by get those fringing things off me,
before I bite you!!!!!
Yes you may go nice and red but leaking blood?
Sucking blood through pores in the skin is like mega hard work and for a blood sucker they would die of starvation from the energy expended to rip flesh off by suction
The skin is pulled up and is red but no blood, so sucking through the skin is not something I would try.
2. Next is biting with normal teeth .
Right ok, this sounds possible . Ok if you are 3 years old then maybe but as a way to drink blood? Are you kidding?
Lots of talk of this in the early vampire myth but come on normal teeth?
This is a dark lord of the night we are talking about not some flea-bitten werewolf or moronic zombie!
For Liliths sake use a frigging knife if all you own is a set of burger choppers. .. Like get real what a dumb way of getting a drink.
Biting into raw flesh with normal teeth causes more problems if all you want is to drink blood .................. If you only have normal teeth use Tools!!:
Humans have used tools for yonks
Doctoral student Kyle Brown, who led the research at the University of Cape Town in South Africa, said:
''Our illumination of the heat treatment process shows that these early modern humans commanded fire in a nuanced and sophisticated manner.
''We show that early modern humans at 72,000 years ago, and perhaps as early as 164,000 years ago in coastal South Africa, were using carefully controlled hearths in a complex process
to heat stone and change its properties, the process known as heat treatment.''
Previously, the first use of heat treatment was thought to have been in Europe 25,000 years ago.
The technique was not believed to have been invented until long after the ancestors of modern humans had left Africa and settled in Europe and Asia. If you want to use your mouth then grow some fangs!
3. FANGS to be a vampire you have to own teeth that are sharp and can puncher the skin and not remove it by the mouth full.
Now this is what makes getting a refreshing drink both easy and fun.
Types of fang:
There is first what I would call the Hollywood fang, think of hammer house of horror Dracula, two very sharp canine teeth which can only be seen when the lips are pulled up.
These are normally the correct type of fang for the undead vampire and are full explained in my Girls guide to being a vampire. as a paperback and kindle http://www.amazon.co.uk/Fangs-Girls-Guide-Being-Vampire-ebook/dp/B008PDEDHK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1406631420&sr=8-1&keywords=fangs+rule http://www.amazon.co.uk/Fangs-Rule-Girls-Guide-Vampire/dp/1874192480/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1406631420&sr=8-4&keywords=fangs+rule
As long as you do not smile or yawn they can be hidden from sight.
The draw back with these are they are mega sharp so you need to be a fast healer just to heal the damage done to the mouth when talking.
Tall dark silent vampires are the ones that know it hurts to talk as the fangs cut into the lips. Look even my turned vamps are smart enough to wear plastic caps over the fangs.
Keep the little plastic caps on until you wish to use them or as above you will bite your lips
Plastic Caps to protect the point
This keeps them nice and clean and sharp and can come in clear plastic or dayglow if you wish to make a fashion statement.
Sometimes you will see a pic of a poor vamp that has a mouth full of razor sharp fangs,
now this chap or chap-ess can only drink blood or soup as such teeth make it impossible to chew!
Come on think about it sigh look ask a dentist if you do not understand this.
Next we get to the extendable fang:
This is done by yawning or by a tiger growl, yes yes I know its childish but it works and a lot better than hissing,
I never know how this happens and personally I put it down to shyness as I have placed a mirror in my mouth to what how it works and they refuse to descend when looking.
Now these are the best sort to have and can give hours of innocent pleasure in cleaning and polishing them.
I use an Ivory polish on a battery tooth brush, it is only right that you should give your victim a nice clean bite so to leave the nice fashionable neck holes.
What people fail to know is this means all living vampires have to have a top over bite to their jaw, now you must know that!
It is a good way to check if someone is a vampire, straight teeth with no overbite means not a vampire as if there were then the extending fangs would mean they could not close their mouths
let alone bite anything thicker than a piece of paper.
Come on think about it .
Unless you have an over bite you will not be able to use your fangs, if you have a under bite then with fangs you will look like a wild pig!
there are billions of people that could never be turned into a vampire due to racial characteristics on jaw alignment.
We are talking about vampires and not snakes lol Good for biting but not for chewing and even talking is not easy
As for the drinking of blood this can be done in several ways.
The Undead turned vampire with the cute Hollywood fangs makes 2 puncture holes and get squirted in the eyes until they remember to place lips around the holes
.. not all vamps are that bright.
When turning a human
Make sure they have a good over bite. Underbites are not a good ida
If not send them to a dentist first.
Reason even with small fangs they will look odd
With a under bite the new vampire can not feed well and can end up looking like a dog or wild pig
Vampires with extendable fangs must have a good over bite or the fangs will not be able to slide down over the lower jaw.
Warning to those just obtaining nice long extendable fangs try not to chew as it is not as easy and if you try to talk
it may sound like you have a lisp.
Personally being a Living vampire I have the benefit of not being human to start with so my body works slightly different to a humans.
The fangs are very strong and hollow and as soon as they penetrate the neck blood is forced through the fangs by the beating of the victims heart.
You now know why we dont like dead meat.
Drinking from a living human is better as it is less work and the blood has a fresher taste.
Yes we can also drink it normally and get real messy doing it unless you can carry a nice large bear tankard with you.
Some of my friends take it with coffee but as for me I find mixing it with chocolate syrup is ho so yummy ..
I hope this has been helpful and give you something to think about when you see a pic of some vampire showing permanent massive fixed fangs without out pointing out that having them means
not only can they not chew but nor speak!
