Janet is perfect, and is doing nothing wrong.

I mean, a person's thoughts are just, such, tiny dumb little things, we trick animals we own all the time, what's the big deal, really. Zunairah's feeling good about herself so I'm like, ethical green organic farming, Janet's Farm, farm-to-table more like vein-to-belly hahaha!

Where's a vampire hunter when you need one

Haha wow, that's called MURDER and is ILLEGAL, vampirism is a LEGITIMATE MEDICAL DISORDER you don't go around killing people with cancer do you, do you have cancer hunters?

Hey I hate high health insurance premiums as much as the next guy but I'm still not sure it's fair to equate cancer sufferers with literal parasites.

Speaking of health insurance she wouldn't have to break into homes and drink people's blood every night if Medicaid sponsored vampire feedings I mean, either make it legal to eat strangers or actually take the steps to provide infrastructure for it #vamprights

Well when you put it that way I suppose Janet really is the victim here. When you think about it there really is no problem that isn't the fault of the government.

Realistically and this is what she'd argue if you get her guard down enough, really what else IS she going to do, she can only be awake when the sun is down, which impairs how much money she can make, being bitten drains your blood and soul and leaves you out of it for a few days so it isn't like she can really afford on her own to pay people, if the system made ANY room for her maybe she'd bother working with it but until then I mean so someone's gonna be calling out sick tomorrow it's no big deal...

ow.

Don't worry, Zunairah feels fulfilled and satisfied in her life because Janet is a GREEN FARMER okay all organic free range no cages no tears #nogmoproject

by green you just mean hypnotizing anyone you want and then walking off?

Look, she is minimizing the pain and suffering experienced by her food, which is exactly what good sustainable conscientious farming practices are all about ok

i'd like to know when im being drained of my fluids instead of waking up not remembering anything and feeling weak.

nah, then you might feel like, gross and violated, like, knowing that some monster was in your room eating you

instead you can just wake up and feel like you came down with something

everyone gets sick once in a while

it's better for everyone this way

im sure someone would become concerned if it happens constantly...

nah she gets random houses throughout the neighborhoods

so one day you have the flu, that happens, everyone gets sick once in a while, how do you know this time it was a vampire...

bite marks >~>

Fur! And have you honestly never woken up with mysterious cuts and things on you .......

yup, never! also im sure someone would notice wet fur! i can name many things that can be off!

I adore this

Local durrbuns enjoy hypnotic and manipulative vampires. You heard it here first, folks!

adoration is exactly what janet wants everyone to have compulsory for her

Gosh, you gotta stop making Janet so horrible and yet so appealing! Feeling this conflicted isn't good for my health!

ok, well, i'm going to doodle a multi-panel comic where zunairah finds out janet's been hypnotizing her all the time, so, instead that'll happen

Um, is it bad that this might make me like Janet more? I look forward to it. >.>

the WIP is done after like two months lol

Wow, heck. I love it. It is definitely porn, btw. >///>

the best porn contains no sex basically

Have you ever seen someone befriending a hamburger?

you ever see a hamburger take a bite outta yooou

That Atari game...

Which Atari game though

IIRC, "The Big Apple". You were traveling NYC in overhead mode a'la GTA1, and you'd enter buildings and do stuff there was one with jealous hamburgers that chased you. Memory is sketchy, that was a good 30+ years ago.

I want to murder both of them

why

I am Zuzu.

how so

I'm such a soft touch, this makes me sad.

I still have to do the comic I want to do when I have energy, where Zunairah realizes Janet's been hypnotizing her, and Janet just kind of laughs about it and explains she figures out she's been doing that once a week, and she just makes her forget it, and Zune is devastated and Janet reassures her they're best friends and she's just keeping it that way

I got tired of the modern idea of vampires that have no real downsides, like Twilight, where it's just "I'm immortal and hotter." But I also DO like the casual vampirism in modern life. So we get Janet, who has no soul and is incapable of actually caring about people, living out her life like a person mostly because it's easier than anything else.

I like this, it's tragic. The casual indifference is so much more powerful than the mustache twirling villian. And so much closer to home about how 'normal' people abuse and take advantage of each other. But that is a good point about the lack of soul, Janet is disabled, soul-difficency and such.

She thinks she's actually a nice person since she doesn't HAVE to be nice and she still CHOOSES to be

If she hypnotizes someone into stopping their complaint at the supermarket, well, she just stopped them from wasting their life, she's a good person, right?

She COULD just exploit people fully and not feel bad about it but she doesn't. So she's still good, right?

Well, I guess in the context it of this, it really then is going to boil down to what it means to not have a 'soul' and how much of this is free will. A wild dog that tears you to pieces, and another one that runs away scared, neither are good are evil if they're just animals acting on instinct. A person who has a brain tumor or is involuntarily drugged and this causes them to murder another person, they're not really evil even though what they do might be considered evil. And the subject of self control as a virtue or 'it could be worse'. In a sense yes, moderating ones negative impulses is probably a good sign, but on the other hand it could also be a game of control and dominance.

There was a character I had written who a Rat slave in a Cat principality, but her owner was wealthy and wanted the finest things, even the finest servants. So he dressed her in fine clothing, groomed her to look the best (at least as good as a rat could look to cats), educated her so she would be 'civilized', and essentially treated her more like a beloved pet than a slave. There was no abuse, no cruelty, no molestation. She was a game to the Cats, to show their restraint, to show their self control and civility. To have this creature among them they could tear to shreds without effort, yet here they are having it serve them tea or read them poetry as if there is no danger simmering just below the surface. She had to a point a better life than many of her kind, she was never hungry, she never lived in fear of her life, never had to sleep in some filthy hole, yet... Still property.

So then, is someone who has control of you, shows mercy, constraint, self control, whatever you want to call it, are they virtuous? In small doses, in little amounts, is this what 'normal' people do to each other? Just moderate how bad we can be? If the default state of nature is cruelty and indifference, is positively not indulging this a virtue or do we have to do more to claim that? If I had the answers and not just more questions...

It still is a sad situation, I have more feelings of sorrow for a trapped animal than a dead animal. The dead animal has just lost their life, the trapped animal lives still yet is certain to die, in that strange limbo of living and breathing yet already dead. But a leg hold trap is a pieces of steel with a spring, not someone you trust, someone you feel sympathy for, someone who is a thinking living creature with intelligence and you talk to about annoying customers you need to deal with.

Now i'm curious, Vampireism as a medial disorder, how does one catch this disease?

Anyway I'm rambling too much, it's such a simple thing, I make things too complex.
