ParticipantI believe it depends on the story being told. People are vulnerable to all sorts of temptations both lawmakers and violators alike. Depends on how I'd exploit the issue to serve the entertainment of myself and folks that might read it. Anything morosely cautionary might be too much of a downer to explore on paper. That being said if I was to look at plateau to install a moral judgment on it would be a soap box made from delicate glass.
I like my fictional Substance-users blissfully ignorant of the less than equal footing they'll face both from society and their rebalanced hierarchy of needs. More 'Cheech and Chong' than 'Trainspotting' and the 'Basketball Diaries'.
Seeing folks trapped within themselves with or without a 'substantial' assist is frightening. Exploring the line between addiction and love might be nice in story format.
I've written one fan-fiction where the characters were surrounded by and users of illicit substances. However it took place in Rockstar's "Grand Theft Auto;Vice City" which was the better of the two games based on the movie "Scarface". The plot device that saved the day was actually uncut 'Spank' being illicitly refined cocoa within Rockstar's crime games. The 'evil' plot device was Soviet breast implants hopefully an absurd enough balance.
Since it was in a video game setting based on a movie about the drug wars in the early 80's it seemed a matter of being accurate and capitalizing on the allure of ill-dressed psychopaths blasting each other to smithereens.

ParticipantWhile this may be the conduit of fantasy fulfillment it still has enough substance to be a good tale.
Sure the pair are supremely gifted in physique and social capital but they still have human feelings.
A great beginning with much potential, CptMatt.
I like how the city itself was something of a character as well. The anonymous urban territory has a dense overlap of culture and learning with a vibrant enough population that there would even be night marches for the police to monitor. I like it's anonymity because it gives the 'everyplace' feeling like in the film Seven.
There's someone out there supplying designer steroids to vampire harvesters. After all if there's a market for rare and endangered creatures for modern day alchemy in the real world imagine the market for fictional night feeders bodily chemicals.
Lillyia had to have gleaned her more researched conclusions about her nature from more than just experience. If that body of knowledge found its way to the pharmaceuticals industry it might fetch quite the price.
Thanks for sharing your thorough nocturnal ruminations.
You keep writing and I'll keep reading.

ParticipantThanks for these finely realized digital combatants MuskelGrothe.
The concepts are pretty tight and I especially like how you went to the trouble of differentiating their physiques and facial features to give them that extra touch of individuality.
Big Mama, Growth Hormone, Rose and Witch Bitch are my favorites. For the freakish monstrosity you couldn't get a better theme than Shamu. The 'Great Fairy' is a hilarious luchadore equivalent.
What set-up did you use to capture the video?
Also which of these lovely and dangerous ladies have had custom move lists?
Can't wait to see what you do in later editions of Smackdown vs Raw. Hopefully they didn't restrict body types in the more recent years offerings.
Wondering who would win a Royal Rumble amongst the amazons in your stable?
Again this is some cool stuff with a nice concise job of editing it all together. The custom intros worked especially well with Ultrazon's hell flavored entry.
Cowprobe
ParticipantWhoa.
Sorry about that mistake. :-[
CptMatt my previous comment was supposed to be addressed to you not Lupus14.
Thank you for the clarification Lupus14.
Can't wait to see where this tale leads CptMAtt 8)

ParticipantThanks for these excellent works gettar82.
The Exploding lass was cute but the summer dress one is the stuff of dreams.
Cowprobe
ParticipantWow!
I love how you engineer your own muscle morphs when the factory issue ones aren't enough.
The exaggerated pectorals give a remarkably feminine vibe as if there truly is mammary being streched tight over the drum of sinew.
I'd love to see a step by step of this model going from her original parameters to the inflamed power mass of your current pictures.
This may sound weird but I'd love to see some simple background items to gauge the sheer scale of her.
Thank you for sharing your hard work. 8)

ParticipantVery good work Lupus14!
Thank you for sharing this great start.
I like how both the main characters are developed enough in their sense of self to try such an interesting relationship.
The buff gentleman could have easily come off as a idle playboy but the idea of his own efforts, and admittedly good genes, leading to both his physique and the resulting nocturnal courtship won me over.
I like the blood predator lass not just because of her hemoglobin enhanced pulchritude but that she seemed to have enough curiosity to find out exactly how her capacities functioned.
The pseudo-scientific explanation provoked all the best aspects of modern darkstalker media without the cheese. Feels a little like Forever Knight combined with Blade and Underworld.
Not to mention in a reality where there are vampires there may be interests that hunt them. 8)
You keep writing and I'll keep reading.

ParticipantBlackKusanagi thanks for starting this thread.
Ze fly, very cool of you to share these expert screen captures.
Cowprobe
ParticipantKunyan is a hilarious trouble magnet. Imagine the chaos she'd cause after being accidentally locked in a comic book gamma radiation testing chamber.
The next clip's fighter girl is one intense lass.
The final snippet should have ended with implausibly grotesque butchery as befitting its Mortal Kombat origins. Though that wouldn't fly for Saturday morning cartoons.
Thanks for searching for these.
Cowprobe
ParticipantThanks for taking the time to highlight this fine work ze fly.
Very cool of you to clear it with the creators and give them a kind plug at the same time. 8)
Wouldn't have known about this otherwise.
