“Before the countdown to midnight has started, it’s clear this party has already been crashed, and the streets are running red with blood. You’ll enter what looks to be your typical New Year’s Eve bash until it’s too late. As the ball drops, fanged punks and big-haired vamps will start their feeding frenzy.”
More vampires who 300 years later can’t remember what was the truth and what was the lie they told to get out of trouble.
More vampires who are like, “I don’t know, man, I spent most of that decade in an opium den.”
More vampires who weren’t paying attention because they didn’t think it would be important.
More vampires who don’t know because there was lot of conflicting gossip and they don’t want to point any fingers.
More vampires who are just bad at dates. “Back in 1620, or was it 1645, wait, what year is it now?”
More vampires who were on a totally different continent when it happened, so get off their back and stop asking them questions already.
YES to all of this but also consider: vampires who only remember the most trivial stuff.
“Oh yeah, the only thing I remember about the American Revolution was this nice candlemaker I met sometime, and she was wearing this really cute red shawl…”
“Uhhh I don’t remember much about the fall of Rome but there was this one fucking cobblestone right outside the coliseum…”
Also consider: vampires who realize three or four hundred years after the fact that they knew someone famous.
Just sits up in bed one night screaming “THAT WAS GEORGE GODDAMN WASHINGTON”
Every time I see people like “cats are evil and will never love you” I’m like bro cats are adorable losers, they rub against you and head butt into your hand when you pet them and they make a dumb vibrating noise when they’re happy and chase after moving lights and shoelaces and tuck their feet under their bodies to become a fucking cat loaf cats are great ok.
midwestern vampires who smoke clove cigs in church parking lots and try to ignore their hunger pains as they watch students from the college in the next town over stumbling out of local bar, alcohol in their bloodstream
midwestern demons with yellow eyes and bloody teeth walking along deserted highways in the early hours of the morning, their pupils reflecting the headlights of cars with passengers who feel fear grip their hearts as they pass by
midwestern witches who wear muddy boots and garage sale rings and who always carry salt in their bags, who drink river water and pour circles of whiskey on the underbrush and feel hundreds of hands on their skin
midwestern ghosts who dwell in the basements of abandonned farmhouses and rip old wallpaper from the decaying walls with misty fingers and trancelike eyes
News: Joe Gilgun cast as Cassidy in AMC’s Preacher: Now this is some damn fine casting. Joe Gilgun, best known for his roles in Misfits and This Is England (along with its TV mini-series sequels), has landed the key role of Cassidy in Seth Rogen & Evan Goldberg’s AMC adaptation of Preacher. Perhaps one of the most iconic characters in non-superhero comic books, Cassidy is a hell-raising, hyper-opinionated Irish vampire, dead for over a century. He joins the titular preacher Jesse Custer (rumours abound that Dominic Cooper is set for the role) and his girlfriend Tulip (the recently cast Ruth Negga) as they travel across the American south in search of the literal God. Outside of the likes of Colin Farrell or an actual undead Irishman, Gilgun is a very good, and slightly unexpected choice for the role, but an encouraging sign that Rogen & Goldberg, and showrunner Sam Catlin, know what they’re doing.
when i was younger i had a really bad fear of vampires when i was going to sleep so my older brother gave me a watch that he set to like 8 hours ahead so that it was always daytime on the watch when i was asleep and he told me it would confuse the vampires and they would think it was daytime and get scared of the sun and leave me alon
There are a ton of different kinds of vampires out there but the scariest by far are probably those from I Am Legend or 30 Days of Night, they can’t be reasoned with at all and they don’t care if it’s a painful death either btw. So you are definitely gonna die if you meet them.
Ricean vampires: Your survival/blood donation odds depend on the vampire, their hunger-level, and their style of getting blood.
For example:
Lestat can take a little drink from anyone and not kill, but when he kills he aims for major evildoers (”They’re easier, and they taste better!” so says movie!Lestat), but he does slip up and kill innocents from time to time so you should still be careful.
Marius also goes for evildoers. Are you an evildoer? It has to be lots of evil, irredeemable evil. Not just minor evil. So don’t worry about him.
Louis kills indiscriminately so if he’s hunting and he finds you, well you are SOL. Unless you can talk with him a little, if he gets to know you, he can’t kill ya ;]
Armand used to go for those who wanted to die already but how much of that was his inspiring that desire in them or they had been wanting it already is up for debate.
Daniel um, idk…. I would assume also goes for evildoers…
