Switched Feeding Styles

[~Rose~]

okies ive noticed lately that ive actually changed feeding styles. i started out and still enjoy sang, but i switched to psy bc i found at the time with not having a donor, it was easier. and ive learned how to control it very well. But now ive found that i have switched once again and im feeding by Tactile (i think thast what its called) and although im having alittle bit of trouble controling it. ive found that i prefer feeding this way second to sang of course. i guess my question is is it normal to switch feeding styles until one is found that suit said person? or am i just another strange case.. LOL i dont mind that ive switched, and i dont mind that im learning to control these different ways. i was just wondering that with the awakening and all if it was normal to change and to change so quickly from one to another.

To me this sounds like a typical hybrid thing. Most hybrids have a way they prefer to feed, and in times where they can't feed that way, or, occasionally, as they grow, they will change their feeding methods.

Its perfectly normal as far as im concerned hunnie so no ur not a strange case lol *hugs* I have found that i will just adapt to my surounding kinda thing.Its not always possible to have a feeding partner there for u on a regular basis so we amend for the loss and adapt ourself to something which will sustain us ie Element/tactile and so on.We cant always have the things that we want and its a good thing to be able to test ur own abilitis for furture needs;)

I don't see this as a hybrid thing as much as I see it as a way of expanding who and what we are and growing in that. I also see it as a way of survival in today's world.

Many sangs have difficulty finding a donor or the have difficulty in finding a slaughter house in which to purchase blood from. So many will not so much change their feeding habbits as much as they will find an alternate way of feeding until such time as they can find a way to feed using the other form.

All of us feed from energy in one way or another so for some expanding their minds, wills and using dicipline will learn how to feed from other forms of energy.

I myself am a sang first and foremost however I find it difficult in fidning a donor and find it difficult to get to the slaughtger house to purchase animal blood (which I think tastes nasty anyway). I took the time to explore myself, and explore things around me and found that not only can I feed from sang but I can feed from tantra and music as well.

I think it is the more we learn, the more we expand ourselves, the more time and effort we put into things the more we will be able to accomplish. That speaks for all things we do in life not just feeding :D

I dont want to step on any toes here, but there is no such thing as a hybrid. If you are psy, than thats it. If you feed on blood it wont do a thing for you. The next step up the ladder is sang. A sang vampire can feed either on blood or thru psychic energy. Its not a "hybrid" thing, its part of your abilities. All can do it with practice.
It all has to do with energy and how we consume it and manipulate it.

hmmmm ..... with that response shall be interesting to where this tread goes ...shall sit and watch the entertainment

Although I do agree with Master there on the no such thing as hybrids, the rest of his post is quite contradictory. Sanguines feed from blood. PSI's feed from energies such as auras and elements and even music.

I do believe it possilbe for vampires to have more than one feeding method as stated in my post above Master's.

I always thought of a hybrid as one who is vampire but also some sort of otherkin. Not as being a sang/psi hybrid. With this in mind I must agree to an extent with Master Thaddeus and Countess Amenti. Now I will deviate from the same lines of thought.

The next step up the ladder is sang. A sang vampire can feed either on blood or thru psychic energy.

This I cannot agree with. There is no next step up the ladder as far as I am concerned. The final and most fulfilling step for a psi is energy manipulation and feeding from one's chakra. Whereas the final step for a sang is blood feeding. Neither is preferable over the other as both are the absolute solution each type needs in order to remain happy and healthy.

Its not a "hybrid" thing, its part of your abilities. All can do it with practice.

Though I do not consider it a hybrid thing either and yes all can do it with practice it is not a substitute for what we need. A sang may psi feed and a psi made sang feed but for both it is unfulfilling as it is a temporary "fix".

Rose, darklin gave some excellent advice but I would like to add a bit. You said you enjoy sang but is it necessary? (Perhaps on this note the blood is more of a fetish. Please read on before taking that remark the wrong way.) It would seem to me that you are psi, perhaps you had surpressed this nature by partaking in sang feeding? It would seem so in that you have changed styles and now have found one that is truly satisfying. Perhaps the reason you switched so quickly is because you were not being completely satified and still left craving.

I don't honestly know if I believe in hybrids, but I know I don't agree one type is better than the other.
I've noticed over time that many vampires word their other forms of feeding (as in not their main forms of feeding) as if they're just tiding over to their main type of feeding. I've said myelf a few times that feeding in ways other than sang is a substitute, little better than a rare stake. This make me wonder if many of the hybrids vamps aren't truely hybrid, but tricking themselves into thinking this better substitute is feeding them. I will say, though, that I have met a rare few that appear to be true hybrids and feed just as well no matter how they feed. So, maybe, there are hybrids, just not as many as there seems to be.

Hi i have been reading through this section and waiting my self for peoples to answer before saying anything

on the point of the hybrid the term for my my self origonaly ment one who took both aspects of otherkin and vampyre alike and worked with both aspects as one but the terms took on new meaning when i arrived at Nox

on the main point there is nothing to say that a sang canot feed in the ways of the Psi vampyre its totaly on there own merit on how the perseive the feed to go and yes there is a certain disatisfaction to begin with but at the end of the day when you cant get a sang doner what are you suposed to do starve or mabey try out placebos and draw it out more at the end of the day i have tried dead blood and it done nothing i prefere psi to dead blood at least with psi i feel as though i have had something

there is a case of mind set and what peeps want to do with there own mind set if you eat a meal and you didnt like it you dont always feel full i feel its the same with sangs feeding psi its the induviduals own choise but as i have said before i have met to many sangs who feed or say they feed every other day to me that denotes they dont get shite from there feed i worte an artivle on it aw while back and will leave the link for it for anyone wanting to read it its an amalgamation of psi and sang feeding at once for a beter feeling feed but nothing to say theres other methods out there but its something that you can dismiss if you dont want to or persivere and try till it feels beter

consider my toes officially stepped on, and its not your first stepping upon them either. I'm not one to slam people in the open, in fact i normally just leave things to the better judgment of the mods and admins of this home of ours. but i feel it must be said that you sir are an idiot, i pray you are infertile because it would be disastrous for you to contaminate the global gene pool. it surprises me that you have been allowed to stay here as long as you have... standards i must say are slipping.

as for Hybrids i am a firm believer in hybridization in both its contexts, (1) meaning a vampire who is also attuned or otherwise part of otherkin society, and (2) a vampire who can feed via many different forms including sang, psi, elemental, dream, emotional and tactile feeding forms.

To also state that sangs are superior to psi's is to show an arrogant and deluded side to your nature, its that kind of talk thats caused problems across the community for 6 years now, neither feeding style is superior, they both have bonuses and drawbacks of equal magnitude.

i hope this hurts your ego as much as your idiocy hurts my head

Mods if you feel this is uncalled for you know what to do, ban me i can be happy knowing i got to do the right thing first.

hopefully the family which i have cared for and been a part of for many years now will see the light and one day forgive me for what i felt needed to be done.

I know that generaly public things like this are ment to be taken to PM's but in this case i do not disagree with you on this one Mal for the last few months i have been dealing with things in the community over misinformation and well alot of shit being talked

I have been watching the posts my self and even when i asked Thaddeus for the information he had stated he had to see for my self what he was claiming nothing came forward on it and again i am seeing his own opinion being put forward here with no backing from it Again i appologise to the other mods on this as well but after seeing what i have seen happaning around the vampire community in recent times i am far from happy with it all and have been considering leaving the community as a whole over some of it take it as a rat leaving a sinking ship if you will it has only been sites like Nox and pranism that keep my faith in the comunity and seeing things like this here well its encroached on us here as well i know i am out of line but i will fight for nox

if people have opinions yes there valid but on something like that with no backing to it what so ever we have our own awakaners to consider and a matter of mis information

i would say back up your claims to the opinions you have on the site its a place for learning and as you stated in your application Thaddeus you wanted to teach others with out putting up backing to your claims no one will acept your opinions on this or any other subject put forward
