Did you ever have a classmate that pretended to be a vampire or some other supernatural creature? How much did they commit to it? (kbin.social)

I had a couple classmates that pretended to be vampires back in elementary and middle school. They’d pretend their Koolaid was blood, complain about the sunlight, and bite their friends a lot. Not enough to draw blood, though. I haven’t kept up with most of them, but one guy is a teacher now. He seems pretty normal.

I myself was enamored with vampire stuff and in high school met an online boyfriend who really committed to the shtick of being a vampire - though a significantly weakened in bloodline so he could walk in sunlight. I think at one point he was also claiming to be a vessel for the archangel Michael. Please know this was all happening in 2000/2001, so long before Supernatural!

I caught up with him briefly about 15 years after high school, and he's still claiming to be a vampire. A divorced vampire who smokes a lot of weed, but still a vampire.

A divorced vampire who smokes a lot of weed, but still a vampire.

LOL

Doesn't sound like the best life but it could be worse I guess. At least he's still a vampire.

My man is out here just smoking weed and eating his steaks rare. Let him live... or unlive... I'm not trying to assume his corporeal identity.

i hope you check in with him in another 15 years to see what kind of vampire activities he's up to

Probably just staying young.

Hopefully it’s still just weed.

I went through a period a few years back of catching up with some of my exes, and it was a montage of dodging bullets. One guy was heavily into opioids for pain management after flipping a truck during street racing. One was married to a homophobic Renaissance faire kind of woman while over time, he had come to understand he was bisexual. And then there was the divorced vampire.

I learned my lesson: I don't want to follow up with any of them ever again.

Might pick up pickleball by then

Does he drink blood?

[–] weremacaque@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Man he’s really committed to it. I would at least think he’d grow out of it a couple years after graduation.

[–] HandsHurtLoL@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I thought for sure he would have outgrown it by then, too. He copped to making up the archangel Michael bit, which surprised me, but he was keeping the dream alive as a vampire.
