Was just thinking about how much I missed this man! Techno was a really funny guy and I found this small lil doodle I made a while back so now I'll just share it here!
zah please make a tutorial on how to properly treat The Blood and how to take good and proper care of it
okay see he is and always has been SO down for this and desperately wants to give like a three hour lecture but I AINT GOT THE SPOONS FOR THAT
I keep trying to make him condense it down but he wont so I'm shoving him out of the brain and making my own
keep in mind that The Blood is a sentient entity. It's childlike and naive and scared. It doesn't want to be abused or forgotten.
This means NOT LETTING IT GET LOST. Burn it or consume it, but don't let it go down a drain or get lost to The Earth. Then it gets cold and scared and lost and it dies. Mages can feel how scared it gets which is why they're so fucking desperate to protect it and get upset if people let blood spill.
Talk to The Blood. It's lonely and it's been objectified for so long. Speak to it and care for it.
Don't call it 'your' blood. It's not yours. The Blood is her own, and she's only aiding you in life. In exchange, you give her experiences and breath and memories and wonderful sights. But she's not yours. You're serving her just as much as she's serving you if not more.
Take these points to heart and you'll get a pretty good grip on blood magery
