I had an idea of an urban fantasy scenario where vampires run society from the shadows and, barring the idiocy of humans, generally steer humanity towards peace and plenty so that there's lots of food available. Farming humans the same way we farm beef. Only, we dont jump fences because we don't realize that there is a fence to jump.
If they can drink zombie blood and zombies 100% the world zombies can't breed meaning no humans zombies or vampires
Humans donate blood for protection. Win win
I remember reading webcomic with this premise more than 15 years ago
Sorry buddy, tumblr already came up with this
Thatd b a good movie
You basically described the promised Nederland
Fun fact: Max Brooks (author of World War Z) explored this exact scenario. Vampires are canon in the WWZ universe, and at first left the zombies to their own thing for a while until humans started losing numbers by the millions. In canon, zombie blood makes them terribly sick and can kill them (only if consumed in high doses or getting it through open wounds). I recommend the books but if you wanna know the end, most vampires fell to madness after watching their peers die when they believed they were immortal, and offed themselves due to mental breakdowns.
Van Helsing
Free-range humans are happier and taste much better than factory farmed humans.
I'd like to imagine humans each month would had to sacrifice one of their own in order for the vampires to protect them. And Vampires who are picky eaters might say "The sacrifice must be a virgin" or " O negative".
best example of this is like seraph of the end i think?
What I think people tend to forget about immortality is that you can literally just wait out most problems. Why take immediate action when simply waiting till it passes is a much easier option. Morality kind of stops being a thing as well because why does it matter that a thousand people die when you’ve seen millions come and go. I think vampires would prevent humanity from going extinct, but I also think they would care much about humans at all. What I mean is that they would likely protect them and drink their blood, but would really do anything to govern or control them because it’s much easier to have willing prey.
Wait so I could end up as the prime bull of a cowgirl vampire Dommy mommy? SUBLIME
Hello, Vampire here although I dont speak for us all, I prefer a symbiotic relationship with my food, before the apocalypse I would pay 10 gold pieces for each bag of blood. After the apocalypse I would offer protection in exchange for blood. But not sure about the other Vamps.
So vampires are immune to the zombies because they have not brain?😂
There was an RPG book intended for Vampire the Masquerade that discussed Vampires in a zombie apocalypse.(along with other world ending disaster scenarios)
Each Vampire would at a minimum need to keep three humans alive just to sustain it self. Any less and the humans would die from blood loss. If the Vampire wanted to use any of its supernatural powers it'd need more humans to add to the rotation, as they'd expend more blood. And of course the Vampire is going to need to make sure these humans all have food, shelter AND security.
They can't protect them during the day, and they can't both scavenge for supplies at night and stay behind to protect them. So you probably need a small group of vampires, which mean taking care of an even larger group of humans. Vampires are used to the cattle taking care of themselves they would NOT actually enjoy going from hunters to ranchers, and keeping a human alive is a lot more complicated then a cow.
That’s how my characters lore is xD I have a factory farm that I call the draining rooms. Except mine is a bit more…sexual. My model for me is at EjaculaVT on Twitch Tv 😄
This is how Vampires did things in the Witcher universe before they left/went extinct. In W3 Gerald talks to one and they chat about how Vampires ran things when they were the dominant race. One of my favorite DLC scenes
Probably just keep the humans on a iron rich diet
Moo?
Aint this the plot of seraphim of the end
Free range mortals taste better. Scared cattle tend to have tensed muscle decreasing the quality of their blood.
Yeah, this reminds me of the now-canceled Syfy show Van Helsing. It was a vampire show, but it had zombies (vampires that didn't manage to drink a large enough proportion of human blood to support sentient thought). These were called ferals, and were either left to wander in packs like rabid dogs or kept by those vampires that managed to keep their sentience as something akin to hunting hounds. Regardless of whether sentient or feral, putting down a vampire without starving it normally needed to be in the form of a penetrative hit to either the head or heart unless the bodily fluids (either blood or saliva) from one of the Van Helsings was involved. When it was, a sentient vampire turned back into a human and a feral would just keel over, dead as a doornail, and it didn't matter who bit who, as soon as the Van Helsing fluids entered the vampire's body, it was done.
They surviving humans are gonna have to pay a blood tax for protection
I imagine zombie blood is like…Stillwater to vampires, they could drink it but the side effects are…unpleasant
It's in the vampire best interest to keep a human well nourished and rested so i would most likely think they would prefer free range to keep human alive for as long as possible and so they would naturally reproduce and won't try to escape since vampire treat them well and all they have to do is lend a 0.5l of blood once in a while.
Honestly, a smart vampire would protect a herd of people in exchange for blood, because humans like to destroy stuff, and if they found out that the guy who's from a long lineage is actually the same guy just with different mustaches, and he's been brutally eating a few kids every month, they'd gladly burn the castle down and risk taking on the zombie horde.
but if he's a benevolent protector using his powers to thin out the horde and ensure their safety, then they're happy to help, and maybe their blood tastes better from all the good emotions in it
I feel like a non-zero amount of people would prefer moving in to be vampire cattle than having to deal with zombies
factory farm is too much effort they would free range them plus taking out zombies and keep the humans alive is alot less like work than just something new to experience for them.
Vampires usually operate from positions of vast wealth and power and could absolutely make blood factory farms if they wanted too, and yet they never do this. They in fact never even make free range farms. Vampires love the hunt, and wild blood of wild humans. This leads me to believe that vampires would if forced to turn humans into cattle, but they would make humans as free as they possibly could so that it still slightly resembled a hunt without endangering the humans.
The vampire emerges from the dark, having stalked its prey for hours.
“Human, stop! You’re traveling too far from the safe zone. Please back off from the border and return to your home immediately”
Ill say it, The Family from Fallout 3
I've always liked the idea of vampires being elevated to an elite and respected status as guardians of humanity. They spill their blood in battle for us, and we spill ours to sustain them—a relationship built on mutual respect. Over time, this bond grows so strong that vampires come to be seen as an extension of humanity itself, even considered an honor to become one. In this vision, only one person per generation is turned, chosen for embodying the best traits of humanity, making their transformation a mark of distinction and legacy.
Ah yes. Blade. Homeless people, people who wouldn't be missed, and other less social peoples being taken in, placed in pouches with IVs and such to keep them alive, placed in comas, and then having machines that extract blood from them in this massive warehouse for vampires to get their blood from.
Man this makes me think back to the family that gang of vampires that messed with the Arefu settlement in fallout 3 because one of the ways to settle with the indifference between the two groups is protection from the family in exchange for donated blood from the settlement.
Wouldn't the vampire and zombies be in the same camp both being undead
Think seraph of the end but with more undead people
I think this is perfectly explored in the game Grim Omens by Monomyth, a game I highly recommend
The vampires are basically just cattle I was saying that if their farm-based I would say they would at least have some form of baby Factory and yes I do mean that literally
Its the classic moment when the only reason a villain saves the world is the fact that he lives in it.
Does anybody remember deadliest warrior and how their final episode was a fantasy one where they had vampires vs zombies?
