Why do you like vampires specifically, what do you like of them?

the sucking and fucking

#ask #also many several deep complex reasons #and if i were to divulge into them i would actually never shut up #its the. vampyrisim being a metaphore for otherness. for queerness #them being originally created (in europe at least) to be cruel representations of jewish people - immigrants and eastern europeans - and #these people reclaiming them. the reclamation of vampires to be the 'others' the ones that are ostracized by society #and people finding solidarity in that. vampires are queer their entire mythology is inherently queer as well so its beautiful in its own wa #vampires were transformed from cruel caricatures with intent to portray the fears of xenophobic english men to #complex deeply thought-out characters that embrace their differences from 'humanity' and live in their true identity #remember when i said “i cant delve into this otherwise i wont stop talking” yeah sorry it happened anyway
