Where did the idea of vampires having balls actually come from? Like what started that… “I’m a bloodsucking creature of the night; I feel like dressing fabulous and going to mingle in high society!”

when i read this i thought by “balls” you meant “testicles” and i just sat here for like two minutes thinking about why vampires having testicles is peculiar to you and why it means that they hang out with the upper class

The idea came from me….and as for the other balls, I was born with them. Big ones. They don’t just drop off after receiving the Dark Gift either.

The signs as vampires

Aries: Reckless™. Doesnt know how to cover up their tracks. Ends up hiring someone to do it for them. Skilled at speed walking
Taurus: turns humans into vampires out of boredom. Accidentally creates a huge clan. Ends up a leader. Nice.
Gemini: the vampire that messes with everyone just because they’re immortal. Gets in trouble lots because they can get out of it easily. The vampire who accidentally ends up well known among other vampires by doing something stupid as hell
Cancer: feels guilty all the time. Likes the perks though. Living forever is cool.
Leo: the vampire who thinks they could be part of the Avengers or some crap. Thinks they’re some kind of vampire superhero. Actually ends up being some really lonely vampire who longs for another half.
Virgo: always thinking of ways their kind can blend in with humans. Misses being human. Probably binges because they avoid eating for a long time.
Libra: the preppiest vampire ever. Who cares if we’re undead? Doesn’t mean we cant party and have a great fashion sense, am i right? Lets go become undead models in high fashion.
Scorpio: intensity increased by a million percent. Falls in love with a human. Appears like the stereotype but occasionally wishes they were human.
Sagittarius: no guilt whatsoever. Feels as if they’re the superior race so who tf gives a damn about stupid humans. Plays with their food
Capricorn: always coming up with ways to take over the world. Vampires should be in charge. Humans are so dumb and temporary.
Aquarius: uses their abilities to help people. Mostly wishes everyone was a vampire so they could all look after themselves. The vampire that was shunned from their clan for being too “human like”.
Pisces: the coolest vampire ever. Uses their abilities to have fun. Thats it. You live forever so you might has well be eternally amused.

reblogged your photoset and added:

I just ordered Only Lovers and What We Do on Netflix so I can do a double-feature. Which one should I watch first?

Both sets of of vampires could probably benefit from find amusement in this book:

I saw OLLA first, and then months later, WWDitS. I think that was an acceptable order, because OLLA is aesthetically more serious, but still has humor and sweetness to it. WWDitS is very touching at times, and largely more humorous. The documentary style of the latter also gives it an earnest kind of charm *u* 

They both deal with the usual vampiric existential concerns and they both have different takes on vampire physiology/mythology (in at least one major way OLLA vampires are fragile in a way that WWDitS vampires are not), and the rules of vampiring in general. I don’t think either really usurps the other in these categories.

In a way, (and aside from their different rules), I think the vampires from both could exist in the same universe, so it doesn’t really matter which order you see their stories in, as they could be existing simultaneously ;]

This movie was shot in Wellington!!

This movie was also released there first and my jealousy as I waited in the US for it – for a LONG TIME – was quite enormous. 

This movie (and Only Lovers Left Alive, at the other end of the emotional spectrum) was the VC movie we’ve been waiting for. It had humor, seriousness, vampire physiology… it was a whole package of awesome. 

I hear that they’re considering doing a werewolf-centered sequel, “What We Do in the Moonlight.”

To my embarrassment, I still haven’t seen it! Despite knowing a couple of people involved! And my mom telling me “oh you’ll love it, it’s very ~Wellington~*”

But I loved Only Lovers Left Alive when I finally saw it recently, so I will certainly take your rec.

*she means “very hipster” – she lives in Wellington too, but wouldn’t call herself “very ~Wellington~”, that’s her phrase for me and my friends with our hip arts.

You should see it. Sounds like your mom got it right, btw, very ~vampires~ in ~Wellington~ 😉

Please share your thoughts on OLLA. In a new post, or message me, if you prefer. Wasn’t it beautiful and also Ava=Claudia, Y/Y?

Trees, like animals, can also experience albinism, though it is extremely rare.

the reason it’s rare is because without chlorophyll, the plant can’t get energy, and dies shortly after sprouting unless it has some other source of food. so if you see a plant as big as the one in the picture that doesn’t have any green in its leaves, it’s getting its nutrition from the roots of a neighboring plant of the same species, feeding on the sugars created by the other plant’s photosynthesis.

albino plants are basically vampires.
