#socialism is when vampires

[skunkes]

almost fell asleep on my parents bed in front of the heater after coming back in from the cold so i drew talon doing the same

#a doodley #legs hanging off the edge bc you do a backwards flop onto the bed do u understand me #also i like the thot of some vampires Lazarus Reflexing if they do sleep #which they dont need to but i like to think talon getting into the habit of napping is like #when people feel safe enough in their environment to sleep more; to sleep Enough #he doesnt Need sleep but its social...also Nice and Warm #and a good compromise between always being awake with your thoughts and vampire coma-ing for hundreds of years to avoid em #he's wearing 3 layers of shirts btw. still not enough he's sooo cold

& i seriously feel like 60% of dumb takes that abt amc louis’s social position would be solved if ppl simply read john w blassingame’s amazing research on black new orleans from 1860-1880. just one nonfiction. 20% of my reading is fiction, 80% is legit nonfiction be it for my field or bc im sick+ think history is a hobby.

#the creole community in new orleans was atypical for most creolized communities in the americas bc they did not abandon black ppl #(it is bc america had the one drop rule too that when louisiana became part of the us & the haitrev / german coast rebellion in new orleans) #in fact they leveraged their social capital in the margins to help the black community at large #amc louis’s isolation from blackness is bc hes a vampire & cant go to day events anymore.. not bc he look down on black people #yn.

whenever i think abt writing Nandor and i get going thru a series of sequences of him behaving like a well-adjusted, caring, adult i have to stop myself, backspace several mental paragraphs and remember that he's basically a semi-captive lion being observed in a nature documentary and he functions on 92% Id

#wwdits #what we do in the shadows #nandor #nandor the relentless #neat fanfic trick: if you're nandor is behaving ooc like a normal well adjusted empathetic human being just ask yourself #“what would a lion do in this exact scenario?” #and whatever the absurdity it's probably closer to the truth than not #anyways i have a lot to say abt the amorality of the vampires and how they simply don't function with the same human ethical thought #but that doesnt mean they dont care and love and have social behaviors of their own that shouldnt be judged less than #and will express those emotions in ways that might feel foreign to most humans #...is what i say to myself to keep from crying as i delete 3 pages of nandor talking out his feelings 😭😭😭 #(also brief note: when i say he functions on Id its not that he lacks intelligence or the capacity to use it along with his ego/super ego) #(as seen in the s5 finale) #(but rather he's an apex predator so his whole being is funneled into traits for hunting. not other things we think show intelligence) #(in the mordern non hunting/gathering world) #(which is partially why he's so disconnected from the world and struggles to find purpose in an environment that no longer values him) #(truthfully nandor is human but simply the definition of humanity has changed rapidly from what it valued centuries before) #(and leaves nandor lost) #(except for guillermo. his one connection to humanity and what anchors him to the modern world 🥲) #(...looks like i got lost in the tags again...)

I have a big google doc thing where I keep track of media and stuff (putting everything in loosely ranked categories), which is mostly just for my own reference so I know what tv shows I've already seen before, etc. and I never really look back through it, typically just a quick "okay, watched two movie in the past 8 months, need to quickly slap them somewhere in the lists. okay. done. save document. exit". But today I was actually reading through some of the old notes and there are like... MULTIPLE places where my comment is basically "It would have been good if it were about elves" or "I wish there was a fantasy show made in this same style" or "It's well made, but I just keep thinking about how I would like it more if everyone was an elf or was in old 1700s costumes" or etc like...... lol.... Most biased media ranking system on earth blatantly made by someone with an extremely hyperspecific range of narrow interests. It'd be like if a food reviewer only had 5 foods they actually liked, so they'd just go to a pizza place and be like "eh, the pizza was okay, but I just think it would be better if it was cereal instead. :/ ...2 out of 10"

#Which.. I mean... I am allowed to be biased because literally it's just for my own personal reference (or occasionall #y to send to friends or something if we're discussing the topic) so like.. nowhere am I saying 'I am the god of perfect taste and these #rankings are objectively the absolute truth and everyone should have my same opinion' or anything #BUT still.. it's funny to me sometimes #'Succession would be 100x better if it had the same cast/character quirks and shaky camera style and #acting choices/weird dialogue and general concept etc. EXCEPT it takes place within an elven noble family or something #managing the family business and everyone is in fantasy costumes now'' like.....okay...... but it's NOT that way..soo... thats not the show #''I like the acting style/general tone of Fleabag but i don't care for any of the characters or any of the subject matter and I wish it was #set in the 1800s and had vampires and was about magic instead'' okay..... again... you are making up an entirely new show in that case lol #OR my other beloved typical complaint ''The concept is good but theres too much plot and action and not enough people just sitting #around doing nothing and exposition dumping world and character lore'' ''this needs more goofy sideplots and filler episodes'' #''this Drama was too dramatic I think it should be more lighthearted & people need to sit around doing nothing just being weird more often' #''the Action Movie was ok except for the action scenes - which I skipped through all of- but I liked the costumes and worldbuilding'' etc. #ERM sorry your plot has too much plot. also elves have to be included somehow. bye #BUT SERIOUSLY!!!!!! I literally genuinely believe that any show I like (or even dislike) could ALWAYS be improved greatly by #putting people in fantasy or historical costume/setting/etc... why the FUNK would I want to see bland jeans and cars and cell phones #when I could see elaborate velvet cloaks and fantastical landscapes and interior design and innovative takes on historical or #magical technology or etc. etc. etc. I LIVE in the modern day. I see it all the time!!! BORING! stinky!! boo!!! #ANYWAY... another social divide for me.. People love to bond by discussing media. which is hard when I'm like #'I literally will not watch something at all unless it fits into one of these 10 extremely specific categories which are all i care about i #the entire world''.. I say this and yet I still dislike most fantasy or historical things I've watched lol. ok TWO main criteria then!! #it must 1. be in a different world or time period. 2. be goofy silly. Nothing ever has BOTH. It's always overly serious boring drama action #fantasy/history stuff OR it's comedic lighthearted but with modern day characters... WHY.. anguish and woe and so on.. #ANYWAY jhjnk... at least I can make that divide. Some people seem to project their own personal preferences and get really emotionally #defensive if you say you didn't like something - as if the fact that they DO like it is some Objective Truth or something rather than just #opinion/preference based. I can still easily say ''this is well made/well written/acted/good in a technical sense/has a lot of #points of appeal that most people would be drawn to/etc'' and admit that it's a GOOD show probably. I just PERSONALLY think its #bad because my tastes are very narrow. Some things ARE actually made badly but. things are not bad INHERENTLY just bc they dont suit ME lol #Better to recognize/accept whats odd about you and be peacefully aware of it than just being mad at everyone all the time for not fully #agreeing with you even when you're the one with the Weird opinion in that case lol.. I am right though :3 but.. lol... still. i get it

Is it bad that I relate to Valentina? If this was 2010 tumblr I would have kinned her and blocked anyone else who kinned her too and I would put in my DNI that if you're a mutual you're not allowed to follow any other Valentina kins.

i love this message

you got the spirit, Valentina kins would be ripping each other apart, a horrible but vital component of the tumblr ecosystem

#hana keeps V offline for everyone's safety LOL #when Valentina does use the internet she's like that one vampire from wwdits buying old furniture on ebay #she really only gets online for business/email stuff on behalf of Standard and the hotel #she's too private a person to have any kind of social media #however if she did have a secret tumblr account she would be crafting discourse the likes we have never seen #just to watch the bloodbath. sitting in the dark squinting at the screen with readers on #also i think it would be funny if she played minecraft. but otherwise was completely internet illiterate #valentina #ask #anonymous

I genuinely don’t understand how someone could watch Castlevania, a series where no one is morally perfect, and come away with the conclusion that “all vampires are pure evil, killing them is a mercy, and if a decent person got turned into a vampire they’d off themself”

#netflix castlevania #castlevania nocturne #olrox #castlevania olrox #fandom wank #tw suicide mention #just an odd take to have if you enjoy vampire media if you ask me #especially when you’re most vocal about that take in regard to the gay Native American vampire #I’m not trying to sling mud but seriously #yes obviously vampires are a metaphor for colonization and oppression #but they’re also a very powerful metaphor for social otherness #whether that’s because of sexuality disability neurodivergence ethnic minority etc #I might be in a mood to start drama today

everything possible ever happened in my dream last night

#vampires. molotov cocktails. discussions about how race and ethnicity are socially constructed. orville peck candle and water bottle. #the water bottle has a cowboy hat top. my brother deadnamed me to a girl on a train. the difficulty in trying to estimate sex and ethnicity #based off skeletons and how shovel-shaped incisors are more common amongst native folks from america and canada and parts of northwest #central and east asia. museum robbery but if the bag touches the ground you explode. so the vampires needed to make a bridge of corpses #strange creature wearing jingle bells because this was also all taking place in european town during christmas #there was so much more i’m not kidding when i say everything happened ever in the span of maybe 20 minutes #my assistant manager was there we had to mop too

ARE YOU LETTING IMAGES LOAD NOW, YOU WEBBED SITE

some silly lil character intro slides for that silly lil vampire horror project you always hear me talk about these days <3

A Rental Car Takes a Left Down Rake Street and Disappears! the characters! here they are! well, the polycule gang at least

is this relevant information? I have no idea. it’s fun facts. it’s fun facts time

yes they have D&D stats. I’m not sure why I put those there. I thought they were fun. they also have favourite foods in place of the favouite flowers I did for the ATDAO gang back in the day :3

also I blame Grub the cat for how squished Nat’s page looks hdfghdfg

anyway. taglist? taglist? hope you’re all having a nice day~

ok goodnight everyone

#a rental car takes a left down rake street and disappears #art adventures with logan #if u care to know. for those of you who do not know #it's favourite foods because that's basically the first thing nat asks whenever be wants to #be friends with someone :'3 #he likes to cook for other people so hes sometimes just super aggressively enthusiastically like #HI WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE FOOD #he's a touch awkward socially but the easiest way he knows how to show affection is by cooking for ppl lol #considering adding a column to my muderboard outline that's just titled #YVONNE TOZIER RAGE METER #in this house we love and appreciate yvonne tozier going fucking off the rails unhinged #alexanders with a day job what will it do :3 #alex's expensive goofy car is run off the road and totaled at one point and it is Mourned #and then immediately replaced #folks don't have so much good luck with cars in this trilogy #also quinn is 100% human yes but still remains zeke's primary target through the trilogy lmao #like. nat has the potential to be A Threat of course but zeke tends to be under the impression that uhhhh #nat doesn't really care about much and mostly just answers to quinn :P #n zeke does not believe alex is a vampire but when she finds out alex IS a vampire she kind of just #has a moral crisis again and eventually is just sort of like.... ://// nah I can't kill this guy that'd be fucked up

#I can't remember exactly where I heard this but I know it was #on a tiktok by someone who had an expertise of some sort like house cleaning or home renovation or sthg #but I actually thought it was an excellent piece of advice for many areas of life and it was #'Remember: if it's making your life easier it's probably making someone else's life harder' #like i think that's just a good thing to keep in mind social skills wise when youre trying to be a good friend or coworker or roomie or wtv #the ones you like being around are the ones who are conscientious about the amount of burden they're being or sharing #or at the very least showing interest in making sure your stress is at a manageable level. especially before dumping on you #idk I started thinking about this because I was defining an energy vampire to myself #I think energy vampires are the people who are always using you as a release valve or are just incredibly self-absorbed. Their problems #are (in their minds) always worse than everyone else's. Essentially it's main character syndrome. and so if it's not a give-and-take #You end up drained/wanting to avoid them.

Hi there! This is out of the blue, but whenever I remember that the game calls Comte "hedonistic", I think of the Björk song, "Venus as a Boy" which is... *fans self*

Hiya! Welcome welcome 🌸

And man, I had to look this song up (I am but a young and new gay in this world) and now I'm just staring at the wall, sighing a little. I especially love the implications of it because I'm just not really all that femme, like Comte is definitely prettier than me and honestly? I love it for me, pop off gorgeous I'll be here to carry your shopping bags and bask.

I also just love the sense of humor line, because I really do love how silly goofy Comte is--he never fails to make me laugh! It's a big point of attraction for me, and he definitely makes me melt 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

#asks #minnie mumbles #ikevamp #ikemen vampire #ikevamp comte #ikevamp saint germain #fair warning yall this song has some spicy implications #otherwise should be sfw in terms of just sound #i do love it when songs remind me of him though #lately a few of hozier's songs keep bringing him to mind #like angel of small death? makes me think of a younger comte #nfwmb is present comte to me #im also v partial to sunday morning by maroon 5 (before adam levine was revealed to uh.......*gestures vaguely*) #take me to war by the crane wives makes me think of his mcs in certain aus #if yall think of any songs that remind you of him feel free to add #i honestly live to hoard more music--esp if it makes me think of him #there is one song ik in another language that is so terrifyingly accurate it lowkey scares me #im like COMTE!? every time i listen to it #basically the singer (woman) describes her love as a kind of social butterfly #the center of every conversation--the most captivating dancer in the room #that everyone stays at the party if only for a moment of his time #chorus reads 'you are so much like gold / you glitter like a sapphire (yellow) / it breaks my heart in two' #LIKE THIS WAS PERFORMED IN 1969 #HEWWO #who out here with a crush on comte share your location i just wanna t a l k #apparently she walked so i could run damn

why must i have a full time job and social commitments 3 days a week at minimum when i could be playing bg3 rn

#thinking about him isnt enough i need to kiss the vampire #thats a lie im still trying really hard to convince myself to romance shadowheart #this week i am booked mon wed thurs fri and sat #next week is mon-thurs #and we’re hitting the theater soon so thats like. all the time #when am i supposed to kiss the vampire i mean the cleric #maybe i should just trust what every person in my life has told me and go meet miss tiefling #also social commitments where i get to sit at my computer on vc does not count

Although vampires are my bread and butter I will say that I think, in terms of creative endeavors, werewolves are the superior option due to how flexible they can be. Whereas with vampires it's more like you got Two options either antisemitism or AIDS allegory

#jelly.txt #werewolves can be whatever the fuck maybe they are still 'themselves' in their wolf form or maybe they are completely wolfified #and also there's like endless options for political aspects. like imagine all the werewolf eugenics going on #etc etc whereas with vampires... #if you go the 'well since they're super powerful they use humans as slaves and open blood banks to feed off them' okay so #that is the antisemitic route rite like you see how that's antisemitic rite #but then like in the 80s is when the vampire resurgence happened and really started to lean into the aids aspect #where it's more like they are suffering and social outcasts and do what they must to survive etc etc (ever seen near dark?) #so it's like any direction you try to take vampires it is a slippery slope #whereas werewolves can be an allegory for many other things

i am in suuuuuch a weird headspace rn, my brain is like. i want half a boyfriend i want a husband i want an easy carefree hookup i want to have sex with only one more person in my entire life i want to have a slut era i want someone to fall in love with me i want to ruin a man's life. who am i

#like okay i said that guy was messy and maybe i am messy too #but only internally! i can at least be consistent and honest in my communication and behavior #but idek what is going on with me #is this a belated quarter life crisis is this being thirty is this what happens when grad school and an internship scramble your brain #scramble your brain so hard that your emotions and physical desires also go haywire #this month is gonna be so weird for me and like i'm depressed enough to not care if i live or die which is when i do my best flirting #and i (theoretically) will have enough time off to take care of myself and get good sleep and do skincare and hair care and work out #and do all the little things to make myself feel more confident #anyway all i know is. i have baby steps initiated progress on some things. #but also the mutually agreed upon six-month post-breakup communication moratorium with my ex is almost up and i am half tempted to call him #i am also half tempted to mess with the OTHER guy in our internship cohort even though that would be THEE messy bitch move #(do not let me do it physically stop me from doing it if it seems like i'm going to) #(but y'know he's. nice. nearby. single. quietly hilarious and has full lips and a similar schedule to my own. pls stop me) #(we might hang out next week. i will not WILL NOT invite him over. i repeat do NOT let me invite him over) #earlier this week i talked to a close very cool and fun and social friend about wanting to start dating again and she was like #Oh i know like ten guys for you lemme have another party and invite all of them and you #and i'm thisclose to being like. actually just fucken see if any of them will go on a blind date with me next weekend. #what the FUCK is wrong with me rn #ANYWAY lemme go work out and finally start the vampire show #bc exercise will distract my body and that toxic relationship bullshit will put a damper on these desires right. right?? #starting to understand why so many religions are like watch out for sins of the flesh or whatever. like how they're like temptation is bad. #lizzo_boys.mp3
