Probably a stupid question that I missed the answer to somewhere, but what exactly would happen if one of the vampires ate a whole plate of actual food? Is it just nasty or actually bad?srry for dumb Qs
^So it’s not exactly like this for Ricean vampires, but it’s hilarious (but GROSS) so WATCH IT (if you can handle the gross). For these and the
Ricean vampires, eating people food is bad, but not lethal.
Ricean vampires lose alot of digestive anatomy when they’re turned. So their bodies just can’t metabolize it. Cooking smells are repulsive to them, as Louis describes it in IWTV:
“The slightly nauseating smell of cooking meat… I caught the sweet smell of the spices and the fresh green of marjoram and bay; and then in a wave came the horrid smell of the cooking meat, the blood and flesh decaying in the boiling fluids.“
So if they were to try a bite of a plate of food, it might be like trying to force yourself to eat something inedible, like an old soapy sponge.
I would guess that eating a whole plateful would just make them throw it back up, no enjoyment in or out 😛
Not sure about other vampires, like The Vampire Diaries, Tru Blood, 30 Days of Night, Daybreakers, etc.
I seem to recall the Lost Boys eating Chinese food? I don’t remember. Try askavampirologist for non-Ricean vampires!
I have never watched Only Lovers Left Alive. Should I? Is it any good? (I thought you would give a good answer to this ;) ) Sorry, not VC related.
YES! YES! SEE IT! OF COURSE LIKE C’MON
I reblog a ton of it! When it came out in 2013, OLLA was the closest to the high quality of vampire movie we as a fandom have deserved. Look at these beautiful realistic modern vampires:
Of course the vampire physiology for them is fairly different from the Ricean species in a few very specific ways which I won’t spoil for you (except to mention that I doubt VC vampires would be at all interested in blood popsicles, even tho vampire!me WOULD BE).
ALSO SEE WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS (which I hear is available for a limited time as a 30-day rental on iTunes for $0.99??) because that is the more humorous way of achieving the high quality of vampire movie we as a fandom have deserved!
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?
