TIL that the reason lead levels in children’s blood have dropped 85% in the past thirty years is because of an unknown scientist who fought car companies to end leaded gasoline. He also removed it from paint, suggested its removal from pipes, and campaigned for the removal of lead solder from cans.
ppl used to get mad me when I said I would have rathered steve rogers die than the ending they gave us.......... but really. as a steve stan for over a decade it would have been much kinder to watch him die as a testament to his ethos (you always stand up) than watch the entirety of his character be ruined in five minutes
I think that’s why I love 80s vampires so much? They’re just vibing.
No “we’re a great species we shall rule all” (for one not a species just a bunch of dead dudes shut up-)
No “I’m going to stalk this girl through her window and get a traditional marriage”
No “im going to live a completely average life and fight over this girl.”
No war between them or anyone
No cult like society of their own with a fucking caste system
It’s just, small groups out doin they’re own thing having fun, they don’t even try to be moral about it! They’re not pretentious either “hey buddy im just doing what I got to live” or up front “I like to play evil it’s fun :) .” I like the small group of vamps doing they’re own thing, there’s no higher up but the group leader no great mission or world domination or idk traditional lifestyle. They’re just having FUN and I think a lot of modern vamps miss that?
Lost boys? They literally sleep all day party all night. They’re here to have a good time
Near dark? Just living, not much to it. Having a bit of fun but mainly trying to survive
Fright night? Also just living. Going from state to state with his boyfriend remodeling houses too
Once bitten? Small group just having fun, hanging and also having to get this one thing every few years
Sundown? Literally just want to be left alone and vibe
Etc
This is also before people called groups of vampires covens (which I LOATHE . Nest and brood sound SO much better) just they’re fun??? Like they own it
30 days of night gets a pass, it’s 2000s but it’s animalistic vampires which I adore
