Never questioned this until about 15 seconds ago…
They definitely do, as that was my thought too
They’re fictional, so I guess they work however the writer wants them to.
I want them to work in a warehouse. I smell A sitcom!

Not a warehouse but You are in for a treat!
I was hoping for this and was not disappointed
It took a while to load on my phone and the longer it took the bigger my hope and smile. Big relentless reward now.
Best show ever.
I’m a few seasons behind on that I don’t know why
Once wrote a series of short stories about fantasy creatures living and working in a warehouse. My favorite were the weekending ghosts, who haunted a manor through the week, but took weekend trips to haunt the warehouse on Saturdays and Sundays to get a break from it all.
Why not inside a werehouse? 🏚️🌕🐺
Unless they’re referring to the bat, who’s to say otherwise? The lore police?
Circa 2008 the wikipedia entry for vampire bat claimed that their teeth were like this. archive.org didn’t capture it at that time, but another page copied the whole thing: https://www.mundoandino.com/Argentina/Vampire-bat
The bats incisor teeth are hollow, allowing them to suck blood in through the teeth like a straw, the saliva has several ingredients that prolong bleeding.
My favorite thing about this is: where does the blood go once it hits the top of the tooth? Into the gums? Into the sinuses? Out the back of the tooth and into the mouth, removing the need of a straw in the first place?
I assumed they were basically reverse snake fangs
One is the venom tooth and one is the straw tooth.
So it goes into a glad/reservoir in the head somewhere…then?
That’s my thought, that it’s essentially pulled into the poison glad sac
Except connected directly to the stomach
If it does go out the back of the tooth i wouldnt say that removes the need for a straw. Its like a siphon tube into a gas tank, but the tooth goes directly into the vein/artery and acts as a conduit for the blood so it doesnt spill everywhere or require a perfect suction seal with the lips.
I think there’s been a shift in media here over the years. Older vampires, the formalwear “I vant to suck your blaaaad” types, often have very long teeth and leave only a couple of punctures after biting someone. It’s pretty reasonable to assume these are actually drawing the blood through their teeth like little syringes.
Then as time goes on, vampires have gotten grittier and gorier. We’ve gone from beautiful damsels with tiny pinpricks on their necks, to staight up cannibalism. Vampires now just fuckin eat people sometimes. Somewhere in between, we did get a phase of vampires biting open the neck with a big gush of blood, and the now classic image of a vampire with blood all over their lower face. At this point it’s clear they’re just drinking it normally.
So vampires have become sloppier and more impatient. The new generations I swear /s
Fucking vampires these days. I swear, one day I’ll go Blade on all of them…
That line from my name is Earl has also stuck with me for all the years. You are not alone!
I’m afraid you might be because I have no idea what that is :D
Oh no :'(
anyway, here’s the clip
https://youtu.be/WCz7Sr6MCos?si=1sIqI1Hj38nRDW0V
It aired way back in the Olden times was a good watch then, don’t know how well it holds up today.
No idea why that one particular line that was spoken once across the entire series resurfaces every now and again, but here we are I guess
I’m confident that the “I want to suck your blood” line there is a reference. It’s an old misattributed quote from Bela Lugosi’s appearance as Dracula.
In Reno in the 90s there was a real-estate company called Draculich Reality, they had signs in lawns a lot, and every time I saw one I immediately thought ‘‘I vant to sell your house!’’
That is how they worked on the HBO show True Blood.
In the vampire documentary “Dead and loving it” distinct straw-slurping sounds can be heard so I think this is indeed correct.
However when I was a kid I totally thought vampire bats also do the sucky-sucky not the licky-licky they actually do.
In the Billy and Mandy documents a elderly Blackula is incensed when he is accused of sucking blood, he elaborately explains that vampire bats, as well vampires don’t suck blood, they scrape and lick.
What made them change their mind? Pretty sure that’s always been part of the implication lol.

I was like 9 before they told me procreation didn’t involve a woman’s belly button.
well you are just an overgrown belly button
I think you might be confusing docking with sounding
Docking is foreskin play, inserting something into the urethra would be a type of sounding.
But if you can sound with an entire human cock, you’re doing something pretty extreme shit

Lmao. I’m not an expert on either docking or sounding, so if one comes along I’ll defer. Lol. But also, I doubt you’re the only kid who thought that. When I was much, much younger than 14 and learned about gay folk (before realizing I myself was gay folk) I didn’t understand the issue, because I didn’t realize sex played into it. I just thought a relationship/marriage was two people raising kids and makings dinner and shit. Lol. Didn’t understand why you’d go to hell for that being two men or whatever.
Kids understand things on a very basic level, which sometimes allows them to see through the societal bullshit that complicates life. Sure you were wrong about sex, but overall you were right.
Talk to people in their mid-50s and a lot of happy marriages have a fairly minimal sexual component.
But my point was that I was wrong, and my penis really hurts from putting all those other penises inside it :(
Dwight?
I’m 53 and never considered it to be different from that. Damn you OP. I have shit to do today and I’m gonna be running this shit on a loop instead.
Never have I ever thought otherwise until seeing this post…
Everybody knows vampires don’t suck, they scrape and lick!
That seems inefficient
The three-shell method
This brings me back! Jhonen is quite the artist
I used to think this was silly but now pretty sure thats how it works now. Also vampire bat teeth look like metroid teeth
