I thought vampires don't start during the day.

Their "day," which would begin after sundown.

They can't consume human food. So caffeinated blood. Source: What we do in the shadows

Their night would be their "day," while their time to sleep would be their "night." Call it living an inverse.

I actually read a manhwa once where coffee was the only human food/beverage vampires could enjoy

[-] LadyMeow 4 points 2 weeks ago

Is this not Tokyo ghoul? Though…. Not exactly vampires….

[-] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 weeks ago

Huh, idk how I didn't make the connection. I forget the name of it but definitely not tokyo ghoul

[-] LadyMeow 2 points 2 weeks ago

Interesting, I wonder if that’s a trope, various cryptids that can’t consume ‘human fools’ but can drink coffee?

[-] edinbruh@feddit.it 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

It looks like some manhwa author has read Tokyo Ghoul...

[-] eldain@feddit.nl 5 points 2 weeks ago

Vampires will do whatever your crazy plot requires them to.

[-] Malgas@beehaw.org 4 points 2 weeks ago

Does it still count as coffee if you replace the brewing water with human blood?

Either way, that's my answer.

[-] ChaosCatWitch@feddit.online 2 points 2 weeks ago

I kind of think that'd be interesting. As long as it's a blood type that agrees with them. Imagine brewing coffee with Rh-negative blood.

[-] gandalf_der_12te 3 points 2 weeks ago

I drink neither. I've become vegetarian in these last few years. I don't really need blood, but it helps. but i don't really need it these days.

Thanks for reminding me to get my afternoon caffeine.

Community Rules

You must post before you leave

Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).

Block or ignore posts, comments, and users that irritate you in some way rather than engaging. Report if they are actually breaking community rules.

Use content warnings and/or mark as NSFW when appropriate. Most posts with content warnings likely need to be marked NSFW.

Bigotry is not allowed, this includes (but is not limited to): Homophobia, Transphobia, Racism, Sexism, Abelism, Classism, or discrimination based on things like Ethnicity, Nationality, Language, or Religion.

Avoid shilling for corporations, posting advertisements, or promoting exploitation of workers.

Moderator Guidelines

Moderator Guidelines

  • Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
  • Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
  • When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
  • Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
  • Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
  • Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
  • Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
  • Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
  • Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
  • Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
  • Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
  • Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
  • First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
  • Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
  • No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
  • Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
  • Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.
