Can You Keep a Secret?

summary: in which Twilight did not prepare you for the real world

just a fun little blurb about vampires because it's spooky season!

"So you're a—"

"Yep."

"With fangs and everything?"

"Afraid so."

"But how did you—"

"I think it was when I went to a club. I thought someone with a studded collar ran into me and then proceeded to get roofied because the next thing I remember was waking up in a park with a massive headache and covered in dirt."

Y/n looked over her friend, eyeing his appearance warily. Her initial response was to step back, more like sprint in the other direction. But the shock of this revelation rooted her to the spot. The floor of her dorm room, specifically.

"You said that all in one breath," Y/n said. She wasn't really sure why, it was just the first thing that came out of her mouth.

"I don't think I have breath anymore," Harry said.

"Right," she said. "Because you're..."

"Dead."

"Dead?"

"I think so."

Y/n probably shouldn't have, but she stepped closer to him, peering at him with wide eyes. With her pointer finger, she poked his cheek. "You don't...look dead."

"Thanks?"

"Are you sure you're not on some acid trip?" she asked. "Maybe I'm on an acid trip."

"Nope. This is real. And it's happening," Harry said. "I'm starting to get hungry, I'm afraid."

Y/n immediately pulled her hand away from his face and practically leaped away from him. "Oh. Did you come here to—"

"No," Harry said quickly. He reached for her, but when he saw her flinch, he stayed put. "I think the overall disgustingness of actually having to drink blood has kept me from actually doing it. But—"

"But you'll have to eventually," Y/n finished for him.

"I didn't know who else to turn to," Harry confessed, distress seeping into his features. "I'm terrified and confused and am quickly starting to realize that the sun now gives me a strange heat rash and I don't want to eat people but the thought of killing an animal also just seems cruel, so—"

"Let me think," Y/n said, reaching out to hold Harry's hand. It was cold, so unlike the warm touch she'd grown used to. But the touch itself felt the same. Even though there was no blood actually rushing through his veins, he still felt like her friend. He was still her friend.

Y/n paced the floor of her dorm for a moment, rushing to close the blinds on her window when she realized Harry was confined to one corner of the room. She wasn't sure what the hell she was supposed to do in this situation. Dracula didn't seem all that accurate at the moment, or any other iteration of creatures of the night. But Harry was her friend, her best friend. She had to think of something.

"Wait here," she said suddenly before quickly leaving her room, nabbing a to-go cup she'd forgotten to throw out earlier.

She raced to the end of the hall where the bathroom was, shoving her way inside and locking herself in a stall. Holding the cup with shaking hands, she plucked her keys from her sweatshirt pocket, where she kept a bottle opener.

It took longer than she expected, and she felt a little woozy by the end of it, but for the time being, cutting open her hand and letting blood spill into the cup was the best she could think of. It would buy them some time to come up with a better solution.

Y/n hurried back to her room, leaning against it once she was safely back inside. Harry was still there, staring closely at himself in the mirror by her bed with his teeth bared. At the sound of the door, though, he turned around.

"I knew it was you coming down the hall," he mentioned absentmindedly.

"You did? How'd you even know it was me?"

Harry shrugged. "Your...heartbeat sounded... familiar ," he said quickly.

Y/n looked at him funny, knowing there was something he wasn't telling her, which she found odd seeing as he told her he was a literal vampire, but she let it go. Instead, she thrusted the cup toward him.

"Here," she said. "I figured this was safer than biting me and possibly losing control."

Harry took the cup gingerly, eyeing the contents with a grimace. But Y/n caught a flicker of something in his eye. Hunger, she realized. He didn't want to drink it, but he did.

"Could you maybe turn around?"

"Oh. Of course, sorry," Y/n said, a blush blooming on her cheeks.

She faced the door as Harry murmured his thanks. He must've dug in the moment she turned around because he could hear him slurping from the straw still in the cup. He was done in seconds, and by the time she turned around, he was wiping the corners of his mouth with the back of his hand, the tips of his canines peaking out past his lips.

Fangs, Y/n thought. He really has fangs.

The reality of the situation seemed to hit her all of the sudden, and her knees buckled. Harry was there in a split second, and if that along with the other startling revelations from today weren't quite literally blowing her mind, she would've laughed at the parallel to that scene in Twilight.

That was all gone now. Harry was still pale, but there was more color in his skin now, culminating in his cheeks. His green eyes were more vibrant now, his lips an unfair shade of cherry red. He looked more handsome, because of course that was what reigned true among all the vampire lore there was out there, but he looked...well, he looked more alive, at least.

"You okay?" Harry asked, looking down at her.

His brows were furrowed with concern, and this close to her face, Y/n could tell the subtle differences that little bit of her blood made. She hadn't realized it before when he'd first come to her dorm, but his skin had been paler than it normally was and the planes of his face more pronounced than usual. He'd had dark bags under his eyes, and his usually curly hair had been rather limp and dull looking.

"Y/n?"

"I—Sorry. It probably wasn't much, but the impromptu blood donation kind of took it out of me," she managed to say, shaking away her reverie and steeping out of the hold Harry had her in.

"It was enough. Thank you," Harry said. "I actually feel a lot better."

"Did it taste like blood?" Y/n asked, curious to know the answer. Vampire shows always made it seem as though blood tasted like fine wine, but it was still just blood.

"I guess? Yes and no. No copper taste," he said.

Y/n hummed thoughtfully. She moved to sit on her bed, but faltered a step when the dizziness returned. Harry caught her again before helping her sit on top of her bed. He went straight for her snack drawer, which she kept in the first drawer at her desk instead of school supplies. Harry had helped himself to the multitude of goodies that resided there since they became friends, and Y/n had started to put more of what he seemed to like in it subconsciously, steadily learning his late night and study session snack preferences.

She supposed that was all different now.

"Here," Harry said, handing her a bar and a bag of cookies. "They hand these out at blood drives right?"

"Thanks," Y/n said, making room for him on her bed.

She ate in silence, Harry clearly having a lot on his mind. She had about a million questions, starting with how the hell was he going to pull off keeping this a secret and ending with did his skin sparkle in the sun. But Y/n kept them to herself while she ripped into her bag of cookies, slowly eating them while she waited for either of them to say something .

"Is your hand okay?"

Y/n looked down at where she'd hastily wrapped the cut on her hand in damp paper towels from the bathroom. It was pretty red, probably needed a bandage, but that hadn't really occurred to her while she was feeding her best friend who had accidentally got himself turned into a vampire.

"It stings," she said. "Sorry, does it bother you? I can—"

"It's fine, I just—I don't like that you had to hurt yourself for me."

Harry had been her friend since they started college together. They'd met in psychology class and had been study buddies ever since. And regular buddies, and now there wasn't anyone she trusted more. And that meant she knew him. Harry had always been protective of her, in a brotherly way, she often reminded herself. Y/n realized he probably wouldn't have been a huge fan of her plan if she'd explained it to him.

"It was just this once," she reassured him. "Just this once until we come up with a plan."

"I'm sorry I dragged you into this," Harry said, his shoulders slumping. "I just didn't know who else to turn to."

Y/n was reminded of a book she'd once read that had vampires in it—maybe she was the person to turn to for all this—that said that vampires had more intense feelings than a normal person, that every feeling, good or bad, was dialed to eleven. She didn't know if that was true in Harry's case. Hell, she didn't know what was true anymore. But on the off chance it was, it was probably in Harry's best interest to lift his spirits.

"I'm your friend, I'd be pissed if you didn't," she said. "We'll figure this out together, I promise."

"I'm not letting you do that again, though, okay? Don't hurt yourself for my sake. It's way too dangerous," he told her seriously. He looked at her, eyes boring into hers, and Y/n suddenly didn't want to look anywhere else but his eyes. She marveled at the peculiar shade of green that made up his irises, and the full lashes that framed them. She didn't want to blink so as not to stop looking at them for even a moment. All she wanted to do was stare. Stare and not hurt herself for him—

"Y/n? You with me?" Harry asked, snapping his fingers in front of her face.

Y/n blinked, thoughts of Harry's pretty eyes vanishing with the sharp sound coming from his fingers. Shaking her head, she looked away. Well, compulsion is real, she told herself. She'd have to start keeping a list. A Comprehensive List of What is True and What Popular Culture Has Lied About Regarding Vampirism.

"We are going to figure this out," she said with more confidence than she felt. "I am a woman of science, and there has to be an explanation for all this. I mean, you said it yourself, someone had to turn you right? At the club?"

Harry nodded. "Yeah, but—"

"Then that means there's at least one other vampire out there, which probably means there's more. And they can't just be starving in the shadows. There has to be a method to all this," she said, the gears in her brain already turning.

"I suppose," he said sullenly.

"Cheer up, H," Y/n said. "We're going to figure this out, okay? You're not alone."

Harry looked at her skeptically, his eyes scanning her up and down, perhaps trying to decide if she suffered a brain injury on the way back from the bathroom. But he merely nodded and said, "You're taking this all exceptionally well."

He had a point there, but maybe the shock would come later. "Life just got a little more interesting, that's all."

Harry smiled, and Y/n couldn't help but look at his canines. They looked normal, but she knew what was hiding beneath now. "So," he said, clapping his hands together. "Where do we start? Vampire lore? Finding the person who did this? How to safely acquire blood?"

"Statistics," Y/n said. She reached down for her backpack and pulled out her textbook, setting it before them. When she looked up at Harry, she laughed at the bewildered look on his face. "What? Just because you died and came back to life doesn't mean you can stop going to school."

"Um, I think that's exactly what it means," Harry argued, baffled by the topic change.

"I don't think so, Styles. If I have to suffer through my senior year, then so do you."

Harry only protested a little more before reaching for his own books. Silence settled between them comfortably as they sat shoulder to shoulder. Her mind was still partially coming up with a plan to keep him fed while she went over her notes, but she imagined she'd be doing a lot of multitasking from now on.

After a while, Harry bumped her shoulder with his. She looked up, and the look of sincerity on his face made her heart stutter. "Thank you."

It took a moment to respond, and this time she could blame the compulsion. "Of course. You'd do the same for me."

Harry seemed content to leave it at that. Y/n reached for her pen, then winced. "On second thought, maybe the first order of business is to get my hand fixed up."

"Right. Of course," Harry agreed, helping her off the bed and following her out of her dorm.

OC QUESTIONNAIRE

@nitrozem tagged me a while back and I'm finally doing it. Thank you! I'm gonna do my favourite vampire loser because of course I'm gonna

NAME: Ross P. Vatore. Yes he took his husband's surname, he was always gonna do it. And he never says what the P stands for. He hates it. But I can tell you. It's Petal. Ross Petal, like rose petals. You know. His parents thought they were being funny. But really, 18 yo me thought I was being funny.

NICKNAME: Babyface (by Lilith, because she thought he looked very very young, and people thought it too, he had to show his ID far too often 💀, this led to his mustache era but didn't make Lilith stop calling him that), Gramps (by his descendants, Pastel, Moss and [redacted gen 10 heir])

GENDER: cis man

STAR SIGN: Aries

HEIGHT: 1.85m

ORIENTATION: Bisexual

NATIONALITY/ETHNICITY: I've always imagined that one side of his father's family came from Ireland (sims-Ireland), the other from Italy (sims-Italy, again). I never really went in detail about his mother's ethnicity or nationality though, I'm not sure where December is descended from.

FAVORITE FRUIT: certainly not plasma fruit, he hates the texture 💀 He likes cherries.

FAVORITE SEASON: Winter

FAVORITE FLOWER: He's the rose gen sim and I'm predictable, so. Yeah.

FAVORITE SCENT: ...am I gonna be predictable again. Thing is I'm bad with scents, long story short, my senses of smell and taste are weird (and not because of covid, they've always been like that) and that extends to answering stuff like this. Anyway yeah I'm going with predictable 💀

COFFEE, TEA, or HOT CHOCOLATE: Coffee

AVERAGE HOURS OF SLEEP: Not a lot my dude, but he's a vampire, he'll be fine. It depends on the season, he sleeps more in the summer to avoid sunlight.

DOGS or CATS: Doggos

DREAM TRIP: Probably some old scary castle in Europe. We have a lot of them, can't pick just one. He'd probably do some Transylvania trip. You know, Dracula and all that. Even though this goddamn fanboy could probably tell you everything Bram Stoker did wrong but he'd still want to go to Transylvania anyway.

NUMBER OF BLANKETS: Just one and it usually ends down on the ground. Boy's got nightmares (daymares?) and kicks around a lot while sleeping.

RANDOM FACT: One time for Halloween he went as a Twilight vampire. Basically he just covered himself with far too much glitter and couldn't wash it off for days, and his home was glittery for ages too. 10/10 would do it again

Not gonna officially tag anyone bc this is old and I feel like I've seen everyone and their mother do it, but if you haven't and want to, feel free to say I tagged you <3

a/n: for @moonacholy’s request for spooky fic with vampire hyunsung and witch felix and reader! sorry i lost your ask baby, i posted it and had to delete it and repost :(

you giggle at hyunjin’s sigh as jisung applies another layer of white makeup to his face, and you follow in with a delicate swipe of blush just like you knew he didn’t want it. he’s wearing a ridiculous dracula outfit that shouldn’t look good on anyone, complete with greased back hair and a red lined cape. but hyunjin looks unfairly good in everything, so. he looks phenomenal.

“vampires aren’t even this pale. i should know. i am one.” he whines, kicking jisung’s shin much harder than he ever could kick a human’s. jisung, on the other hand, went the twilight route, with glistening sparkly skin and his glowy yellow eyes out on display. he’s wearing a shirt that says say it. out loud. it made you cackle when he first emerged from his room in it.

“oh really?” jisung feigns surprise, his red-painted lips forming into a perfect ‘O’. “i’ve never met a vampire before! what’s that like? what does blood taste like?”

“jisung shut up, you literally drank some of my blood last night.” felix rolls his eyes as he joins you all in the kitchen and wraps an arm around you. “the blood that i drew out for a really important potion, and i now need to wait for the next full moon to arrive to do. remind me to never let you drink witches blood again, by the way, it makes you way too hyper.”

you ignore jisung’s indignant squawk to turn towards your boyfriend and press a soft kiss to his cheek. he has star sequins dotting his face, one for each freckle you could find, and his tall and pointy witches hat matches the one perched on top of your head. it almost falls off when you lean in, but he catches it with one hand while the other squeezes you closer into him. he winks at you as you let some of your magic seep through the air, turning the tips of his hair bright pink and the fringe of yours a deep purple.

“are we going out?” you ask, glancing at the time on the microwave’s clock. it’s nearly 10pm, the day is almost over and you want to get out at least a couple hours of being out and about in your true forms, even if it’s playing pretend. you’re meeting your werewolf friend chan and his packmates jeongin and seungmin at a party, and you’re sure that felix’ fae cousin changbin and his mermaid roommate minho will be there too. among a bunch of unassuming humans too, but tonight thats the least of your worries. its halloween, the one night you all don’t have to hide.

“one more shot before we go!” jisung cries, pouring out a couple of blood shots for him and hyunjin while you pour out normal ones for you and felix. in different colored shot glasses, of course, you can only make the mistake of accidently drinking blood once before you learn quickly how not to mix them up.

you all stumble out of your apartment together, walking towards the full moon and enjoying each other’s company until you hear a series of loud kissing noises and a thump coming from behind you.

“but hyunjinnie!” jisung is pouting, draping himself over hyunjin’s shoulders and keeping his grip when the taller boy tries to knock him off. “you’re my soulmate!”

“maybe. doesn’t mean i want your lips anywhere near mine.” the blonde boy grimaces, taking jisung’s hand anyways.

“after over 200 years of being together, you think they would get tired of the bickering,” felix’ deep voice hits your ears, drawing attention away from the mess behind you and onto the boy whose hand your holding.

“you think we’re going to end up like them in 100 years?” you ask, smiling at him as if you know the answer already.

he just smiles in response, eyes twinkling like the stars as you continue to walk together.

This isn’t really an ask more so a I have thoughts about Castlevania that I’m too scared to share outside the comfort of anonymity, but perhaps a problematic shipper such as yourself would find intriguing…

We all agree that Mathias/Dracula is fucking obsessive, especially when it comes to those he loves [Man has a very… Complicated relationship with love to be honest]

Do you think that overwhelming obsession has ever led to stalking? Because I could absolutely see it, I don’t even think he would hesitate for a second to stalk those he loved… He’s just making sure they’re safe after all, at least that’s what he’ll tell himself 👀

Interesting question!

My interpretation of Dracula is that he was a somewhat decent man before Lisa's death. Sure, he had had his beef with God and all, he was already a deeply selfish manipulative person... But he wasn't the monster we know in the series. He didn't go slaughtering humans for fun, he gave a home to those who rejected God, and he was a loving husband and father, perhaps even respectful.

So no, he didn't stalk Lisa. Because if he did, he would have most likely been able to save her.

It's then that he changed, and became obsessive.

When I write my more problematic pieces :P my idea is that at his core, he's a grieving, lonely man who failed two wives. One time, he went on an expedition, and upon his return he found Elisabetha dead. The other one, he let Lisa do her thing (go around healing people IIRC), and humans executed her. Bro would be suffering from separation anxiety for centuries 💀

So basically... If, hypothetically, he fell in love a third time... Yes, he'd be extremely possessive. He'd keep his beloved on a metaphorical leash, and refuse to "entrust" them to others: he will protect them, only he can. No one else is worthy of them. And yes, that could lead to stalking. twilight style

However, Dracula is also not the kind who easily gets off his throne to pursue others... Which is why I headcanon that, in the realm of his castle, he knows everything :) he can see, hear and smell far more than a human could imagine, he has hordes of creatures under his command (including Death, who is probably not bound by anything), and even the castle might be sentient enough to communicate with him... No dark corner in Dracula's Castle is a secret for its Lord.

Needless to say, that poor person would have to flee in secret if they wish to save themselves from Dracula's clutches, and hope to run far enough away... ;)

#castlevania #dracula castlevania #also awww being called problematic shipper as a compliment makes me proud 🥰

Highlights from my Vampire Studies class today

So, I'm taking a class this semester which is a cultural history of vampires, in literature and film, and today was our first lecture for it. And OH BOY do I think I'm going to love this class.

The prof was awesome, and it looks like we are going to be covering some fun stuff this semester. Here are some of the highlights from today's lecture...

The prof playing Supermassive Black Hole while we were all getting seated (I'm not a Twilight fan but this was absolutely hilarious)

The prof played a video about using Wikipedia as a source, in which they made the joke "Your grades may be at stake", to which he paused it to add "A little vampire humour for you there" (This man is literally Viago if he was a German Studies professor)

We went over the course outline, and one of the two reading requirements is Dracula! (I'm ahead for once! Tumblr and Dracula Daily have prepared me for this) And, one of the films we will be watching is WWDITS :) I can not express how excited I am about this.

For today's movie we watched Nosferatu, which I have been meaning to watch for the longest time but never got around to. I actually really enjoyed it, and our class got some good laughs out of it.

"I am plagued by mosquitoes. Two have just bitten me on the neck, quite close together, one on each side"

I finally understand that one WWDITS reference in the pilot where Nandor does this:

"Your wife has such a beautiful neck"

During our lecture, our prof put together a slideshow about various vampire media (books, movies, etc from different years) and OH BOY there were some fun ones to talk about... for instance, one was a book called "What Would Buffy Do?", to which our prof recommended it to us if we ever have a moral quandary, and want to know what Buffy would do.

Another was some movie called "I bought a Vampire Motorcycle"

There was a small section about vampire influence on the... adult entertainment industry... to which the following interaction occurred:

Student - "I'm sorry... What is... Sperm-ula?"

Prof - *pauses for a minute* "What do you think?"

Showed us a book called "A Handbook for the Recently Turned", to which the prof said "Well... because you never know! Might need it!"

We then had a really interesting lecture on vampires throughout history, from ancient Greece and Rome through to the 18th century. Really cool stuff.

Prof made us talk to each other for an ungraded assignment because he wanted us to meet our "vampire buddies" 🥺

So yeah... I think I'm going to really like this class. Unfortunately, it sounds like quite a few of my classmates are only taking it because they were looking for an easy A elective, so hopefully they will learn to share the love of vampires by the end. I can't wait for our next lecture!

Eddie month day 3

prompt: school & combative & I went off book and did Teenage Dirtbag - Wheatus

Halloween had always been his favorite day of the year. He had too-small plastic vampire teeth shoved into his mouth and a cape that was actually a black pillowcase he’d safety-pinned to the shoulders of his black long sleeved shirt. He’d even put eyeliner on and smudged it around his eyes.

“Where are your books?” His teacher exclaimed. “Your pencil? You do know you’re still at school today, Mr. Munson?”

Of course he couldn’t bring his book bag to school today, it would’ve ruined the effect of the cape completely!

“I don’t know why you’re expecting anyone to do any work today! It’s freakin’ Halloween! If you weren’t such a frigid witch maybe you could have a life other than this terrible job!”

“Go to the office,” she droned. He stood, took the write up and waved with a grin as he walked out.

He did an actual double take when he walked into the office. There was no fucking way.

“Hey, nice teeth.” Steve “The Hair” Harrington. In a fucking Dracula cape with a big collar and a puffy shirt with a vest and he even had his usually perfectly coifed hair slicked back. “I couldn’t find any.”

Picking his jaw up off the floor, he said, “Thanks. Uh, nice costume. Didn’t figure you for Halloween fan.”

“Oh, I love it. What’s better than getting to dress however you want and get free candy?”

“I hear ya.” His mind was blown. He set his write up on the desk and Steve looked down at it.

“Ah.” Steve nodded solemnly before looking up at him. “Swearing at Mrs. Parker, huh? I feel that. Deeply.” He seemed impressed. But, hey wait a second-

“I didn’t swear! I specifically made sure! Dammit now I want to go back and really lay into her. If I’m going to get detention for something I’d like to actually do it, you know?”

Steve laughed and nodded at him again. Eddie felt like he was in the twilight zone.

“Well, everyone important is in a meeting for who knows how long. So you’re welcome to hang out. Or take your chances in the halls.”

Eddie shrugged and gracelessly dropped into a chair against the wall. He attempted to discretely (not very discretely) watch Steve as he moved around the office making copies and filing papers.

But he was still bored. He started humming to himself, drumming on his knee.

“Is that Iron Maiden?”

He almost fell out of his chair. “You know Iron Maiden?” And well enough to place it from him humming it across the room?

“Sure?” He seemed miffed that he’d assume otherwise.

“Who are you?”

'Cause I'm just a teenage dirtbag, baby Yeah, I'm just a teenage dirtbag, baby Listen to Iron Maiden, baby, with me, ooh

Steve grinned at him. “Not what you’ve assumed, apparently. Hi, I’m Steve. It’s good to meet you.”

Eddie tripped on his way back over to the counter to shake the hand he’d offered.

“Eddie. Good to finally meet you too.”

I’m just a teenage dirtbag, baby, like you.

@eddiemonth

(I don’t know if your school had student office workers but mine did and they were always the preppy kids who got picked for it. Definitely a Steve job.)

Intent vs Perspective: Twilight as tragedy, not romance.

Alright guys, I know SMeyer ended Bella with Edward, and that it was always her original intent, it’s supposed to be a romance, but the text suggests otherwise. It suggests a tragedy - not a romance. 

I know, I know, this is what I look like rn:

But bear with me.

When SMeyer writes the first Twilight, she had no intention of writing a whole series, just that and Forever Dawn, so she has a plan. But as it went on, the plan didn’t really make sense anymore, though she insisted on using the original plan anyway, very HIMYM style.

So, in Twilight, she’s trying to basically make it like Pride and Prejudice (we could have a whole convo about if the literary comparisons are warranted, if that’s arrogant on her part, etc. but not the point here - the point is her intent). Edward = Darcy, and Bella = Elizabeth. They war with their natures and end up together. I’m not gonna comment on if she succeeded in this venture, just that it was the literary theme she was going for. 

Now, in New Moon, we’re pretty hit over the head that it’s supposed to be Romeo and Juliet. Obviously, Edward is supposed to be Romeo, and Bella is supposed to be Juliet. Bella makes the comparison herself, and thinks of Jacob as Paris. It’s an interesting note, because while I think Smeyer was going for “true love” and all, Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy - both characters die, it’s hardly a good love story/romance. Juliet actually would have better off with Paris. The play is a tragedy that explores how young lovers can often behave irrationally and it leads to their untimely death. In the case of Bella, that’s certainly true when the Volturi basically make it an obligation for her to become a vampire. So far, I’m not getting “romance” vibes, but “tragedy” vibes. 

In Eclipse, apparently, the theme this time is Wuthering Heights (again, we’re really hit over the head with that one). This has to be the most confusing of them all if we’re to expect a Bella/Edward ending. It becomes clear that Edward is supposed to be Heathcliff - the guy that Cathy doesn’t even ultimately end up with, with Jacob then playing the role of Edgar, the one Cathy marries. Throughout Eclipse, Edward/Heathcliff spends the first half behaving terribly, controlling Bella/Cathy’s movements, and banning her from seeing her best friend, Jacob/Edgar. Despite her anger, pointing out how controlling/psycho he is being, she winds up forgiving him, and then a 180 happens, with Jacob now being the jerk. Bella ends up realizing she’s in love with both of them, but chooses Edward - even if he’s Heathcliff, who is a) terrible and not well liked by any Wuthering Heights fans really - not even Bella - and b) not how it goes in Wuthering Heights. It also doesn’t even end with Bella happily announcing her engagement - it ends with Jacob running off into the woods to be alone with his broken heart at losing the battle of keeping her human.

So Twilight is basically “Edward makes his case”, New Moon is “Jacob makes his case” and Eclipse is “who will Bella choose?”, and with the Wuthering Heights/Eclipse theme that she beat us over the head with, it really really reads like it will be Jacob - her personal sun, the one who didn’t leave, the one who put her back together when she was broken, the one she’s known forever, her best friend, who is trying to save her from enthrallment/death, it reads like it’s gonna be a happy ending with Jacob... and then... HIMYMed by the original plan. 

Now... why do I keep going on about enthrallment? Well, it’s not her intent, but you can read that into the text, and if so, you add Bram Stoker’s Dracula into the mix. Edward/Dracula puts Bella/Mina/Lucy under thrall in Twilight, and his absence in New Moon makes her behave like Lucy/Mina when Van Helsing and co. try to cure the thrall. In this case, Jacob would be Jonathan Harker/Van Helsing, trying throughout New Moon to cure the thrall, and getting more and more desperate in Eclipse to do so. He behaves like an ass of course - and maybe he’s seen one too many fairytales where the Knight/Prince breaks the spell by kissing the Princess (a problematic trope itself). So Jacob is Harker, trying to break Mina’s thrall. Ultimately, he fails, because it’s not written as a romance - it’s written as a tragedy.

Lanternfam’s favorite vampire media

with the help by @space-specs

Hal- Monster High (the justice league hates when they do mental links via J’onn because he constantly has the first opening stuck in his head and doesn’t even realize hes humming it until someone says something and even then it doesn’t really go away until he has something else stuck in his head. he has also on multiple occasions cross-dresses as one of the female characters to match with Helen, who would dress as one of the guy characters. Hal kills it every single time. he looks so good its not even funny.)(the main two that Hal does are Rochelle Goyle and Operetta. Helen’s are Deuce Gorgon and Holt Hyde)(if anyone wants to draw Hal in either of those outfits please hit me up it would be so good and i would be forever grateful and maybe even owe you a kiss on the forehead for your troubles)

Guy- Twilight (he likes the side characters and wishes that SMeyer hadn’t fucked them all up like she did. he likes the baseball scene in the first movie bc it slaps, and Emmett and Leah are his favorite characters. Emmett is a lot like him and Leah was written so badly. They both deserved so much better.)(he totally doesn’t write twilight fix its on the internet but if you know the right places to go, there may be a fix it fic written by one EmeraldWarrior.)(the fics fix a lot of things about the series and are actually pretty good and god i wish they were real -ketchup)(jo doesn’t read his fics, but she has mutuals who are into Twilight and have read them, so she has heard about the fics in detail from them. she doesn’t put two and two together until she meets Guy and immediately is like “hey wait” and the secret is out but still between the two of them -specs)

John- The Argeneau Series (its vampires but they made it scientific and actually gave answers for why vampires do and require certain things instead of just leaving it down to “idk man. magic or something.” its also not too well known or talked about, so no one has had a chance to ruin it yet. just like how john likes it.)

Kyle- The Lost Boys (comics nerds have to fight vampires and look into comic books to find the answers. home alone with vampire fighting mechanics. need i say more?)(ketchup has never seen this before ever)

Jess- The Mortal Instruments/Shadowhunters (the series focuses more on the angelic and demonic than the vampires themselves, but they still play a large role in it. She believes Raphael deserved better and thinks its funny that the main vampire character is named Simon.)(the movie does not exist.)

Simon- Buffy the Vampire Slayer (fuck Joss Whedon but Buffy. he liked some parts of the show and hated others but thought it was a very interesting interpretations of an American high school.)

Jo- Castlevania (it is not anime but it is the closest western media will get to that. western animation can do things good too! -specs)(as soon as specs mentioned this, i went oooooooooooh *eyes emoji* bc i love the first two seasons sooo much -ketchup)(also yayyyyy video game series!!)

Keli- Dracula das Musical (she accidentally found it through the Korean version of Zu Ende with the redheaded Dracula on youtube and then watched a subtitled recording of it and fell in love. She likes all the versions of it that are not in English, but the German one is her favorite)(this is ketchups favorite musical)

Alan- Nosferatu (1922) (it is the vampire movie of all time and even though its corny as all get out, he likes the simplicity of it as well as the staying power it had through the depression and the world war. its also just a really hilariously stupid adaptation of Dracula.)

Carol- Vampire Academy (she can and will go on hours long rants about various things in the series. Hal has never read the books, but he did watch the movie on his own time so he could better understand her rants but that just made Carol more angry. the movie does not exist. Hal can still have a conversation with even the most dedicated of readers about the series based on what he has absorbed through osmosis from Carol.)(in this scenario specs is Hal and me and our roommate are both Carol. as this was typed, specs and i had a conversation about the plot in vampire academy lol -ketchup)

Kilowog- Hotel Transylvania (Keli showed it to him while deviously grinning in the corner, a grinch smile on her face bc she was determined to get the big tough alien into the most memeable animated vampire media ever. ‘wog doesn’t get it and ends up dealing psychic damage to the rest fo the earth lanterns when he says its his favorite of the Terran media they show him)

Razer- Blade (he likes knives so he likes the name. also. Blade is a vampire who fights other vampires and Razer is a red lantern who fights other red lanterns. it fits.)

Thaal- Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1992) (theres a weird monsterfucking scene that kept ketchup from watching it the first time they tried. Thaal would get a kick out of it because hes a kinky motherfucker, as well as the stupid butt wig. seriously wtf is up with the butt wig. its so stupid)

B’dg- Count Chocula cereal boxes (his preferred form of media is staring at cardboard boxes. he finds them very entertaining.)

Helen- Cirque du Freak (specifically the manga adaptation)(she 100% convinced Hal to dress up as Larten Crepsley so she could dress up as Darren for Halloween one year, and this series singlehandedly got her over her fear of spiders)(if you haven’t read the graphic novels they’re so good i promise -ketchup)

#hey look we did it again with the characters that ketchup is obsessed with and the monster that ketchup is obsessed with! #ketchup really enjoyed doing this one lol #i was looking through this going movie show book movie show show fucking cereal box it was very fun lmao #we have either seen or heard a lot about all of these on here #i highly recommend a lot of them because they are really good #that video that it talks about in Kelis part? real. and its so freaking good #it was my into to dracula das musical lol and part of the reason that i started dying my hair red -ketchup #hope yall enjoy! #let us know if you want more lists please!! #lanternfam #lantern family #green lantern #hal jordan #guy gardner #john stewart #kyle rayner #jessica cruz #simon baz #jo mullein #keli quintela #alan scott #carol ferris #kilowog #razer gltas #thaal sinestro #b'dg #helen jordan #the 'tism lists

Renfield (2023)

Date Watched: 4/14/2023

Gay: 4/10. Oh ho ho! I am dracula ;)

Twilight Influences: None. Starting to think we need wwdits influences this decade

Enjoyment: 8/10. Most of this comes from Nick Cage but Hoult is fine too I guess. I really love the aesthetics of this movie and cage's prosthetics are amazing but god I hate the cops and the mafia. Not every movie needs to be an action movie. That said, Ted was hilarious and I'm so glad his whole family became familiars I just thought that their plot didn't fit. I also loved all the therapy guys and god the "dracula's blood" was so good especially after such a funny scene (I think everyone in the theater was just losing their shit for a full 10 minutes and this movie that I dragged my friends to didn't actually make them hate me)

Vampies: Oh my god! Cage is one of the sickest vampires I've seen recently. The way he is both an ugly and attractive vamp at once is brilliant. His greenness is accentuated by lighting and I love all of his familiars. Their lore is strange though, like why do familiars get powers? Anyways 10/10

No sires (can he even sire people? Maybe it's a vampire in brooklyn thing)

Representative of 2020s? Too soon

Relative Popularity? Well it was advertised a lot but no one seemed to see it. I still loved it though and I'm glad I went in theaters.

Sound of a Heartbeat

Part 9. Moment of Truth

Masterlist

you can also read this story on AO3

It's been what, half a year? I can't remember anymore, kept me away from updating. Feels like it's time to at least try to move further with the story (it's all finished in my notes for at least a year now, I'm just super slow editing). English is not my mothertongue and I don't have a beta, so please don't judge. Corrections from readers taken into account, if any.Things are getting more emotional in this chapter.

Fandom: Castlevania

Pairing: Dracula x OC

Warnings: none probably, a bit of angst and mixed feelings

The conclusion to be made is: don't jump into water if you have no idea how deep it is. Shari should have known and expected all that could happen to her, walking into the Dracula castle, problem is she hadn't planned any suitable solutions.

He was silent, as if hesitating; evaluating her; then his large cold hand went to cover hers on his shoulder. For a moment Shari thought that he would make her remove herself, but he only squeezed her palm tightly, his red eyes boring into her soul. She felt truly sorry for him, he could sense the pity and sympathy radiating from her - oh, you sweet innocent human, you don't know the depth of the pit you are throwing yourself into.

- You should be heading to bed, - he announced, rising himself from his seat and shutting the book on the table. - Your medicine won’t have the proper effect unless you are well rested and gaining strength, - he could feel her flinch slightly as he stood up. She quickly removed her palm and clutched her hand to her chest. Curious caring little human - alive, breathing, smell of her blood delightfully sweet. What a wonderful change she was to his darkened world, a candle that appeared in his life, though he never expected it to, though he expected to live in an unending darkness forever now. Dracula wasn't sure if he wanted to will her away from disturbing his darkness or grab and drag her down into the night with him, to keep that light shining and warming him for as long as he can. Besides he hadn’t hunted in so many days now… Perhaps…

Shari was feeble, temporary - it wasn’t just her, it was the flaw of being human as compared to the form of his existence. The cures she fixed for herself, the improvements in her magic – all that could prolong her lifetime, significantly for her, but endlessly little as compared to his life. Taking in her light would only help him for a while, and then it will be gone like all others. Though of course he knew of a cure for that final problem. He never tried did he? Not for that purpose at least. But now perhaps he could find the courage.

Shari tore herself from her stunned state, hurrying back to her working table to grab a book and return to her room - she could feel the change of atmosphere between them, the air suddenly feeling too dense. When she walked towards the staircase, he was already expecting her by the door only to follow her up the steps and into her floor, apparently deciding to accompany the healer on the way to her room. Shari felt her back almost painfully tense under his stare. His presence suddenly too overwhelming for her to handle her fear.

Dracula followed the human without breaking the silence settled between them. His inner hunter was purring at the sound of her quick heartbeat, the twilight and loneliness of the castle only heightening his senses.

The corridor was dark, but not dark enough for Shari not to notice how her unwanted companion moved closer. She didn’t like this sudden change, mostly because she could not figure what could have possibly caused it. And could not be certain she would really like to know the answer. They stopped at her door and Shari turned to look at him before parting ways, regretting her decision the instant she did so.

Dracula leaned down closer, looking her in the eyes, his hand coming up to rest against the wall next to her head. It wasn’t a gesture of intimidation, more one of a tired man needing support. But Shari still felt caged, overwhelmed by the powerful being before her; an anxious shiver ran down her spine at the proximity. It was suddenly hard to breathe.

- How is your healing going? - he asked, quiet, the question somewhat unfit for their position.

- Can't tell straight away, but I do hope it helps, I have put quite an effort and the... - she froze, she wanted to turn away from him, but found herself unable to do so. - I hope this all was not in vain, disturbing your home with my presence, I mean.

- I do hope so too. For your health’s sake, of course, - a clawed hand came to her chin, tilting her head up, stopping her attempts to hide her gaze. It seemed to her she could see him smile, but maybe it was just her mind playing tricks. Dracula sensed her anxiety and withdrew just a little.

- Thank you. For you kindness and... - she couldn't bring herself to finish the phrase; she was whispering now too, her breaths coming heavy. Shari tried to back away, unsuccessfully, her spine hitting the doorframe painfully.

"Don’t run, firefly, come closer. You were so brave all along, no need to be shy now".

She felt him lean in closer following her, her back now pressed against the closed door of her room and his frame preventing her from slipping away. Now he finally had cornered her, and she felt the anticipation running through her veins. Could he sense it? Did he hear her heartbeat? His face seemed so handsome now in the dim moonlight coming from a window down the corridor, Shari had never truly noticed before how appealing he could be; he was so close to her, a few more inches and they would...

- I believe I should bid you good night, Count, - she whispered quickly, in one short breath, tearing herself away from his grasp and his hypnotic gaze, and before he could answer anything, the door to her room was shut behind her back.

Shari exhaled heavily, leaning her back against the doorframe, feeling his claws scratch at the wood longingly from the other side. The healer pressed her fingers to her lips. She wanted it. Wanted him to kiss her, to press her to himself lovingly and gently, run his clawed fingers through her hair, careful not to hurt her, look at her… Just the way it seemed a moment ago he stared into her face in the pale moonlight of the corridor. No matter how much she denied it, it was the painful truth. She had fallen for the Count.

Shari exhaled heavily and stayed motionless for a few moments. Then, as if an invisible force pushed her forward, she tore herself away from the doorframe, making a few unsteady steps. She let out a quiet sob and dropped on her bed, curling into a ball on top of the covers. Oh hell. Shari curled her body tighter, pressing her palms to the sides of her head. No, no, no, forget this. This will be the end of you. She covered her mouth with a hand to stop her sobs from coming out too loud - he may still be standing behind that door, he may still hear her disarray. Her tears soaked the bed covers, creating a dark spot as she struggled to contain her sudden outburst, pressing her face into the bed. This was not right. This should not be happening. This was not happening. But why, why did it have to hurt so much?

She felt a featherlight touch to her back and bolted up abruptly, turning to her unexpected guest.

- Shh, - a single finger pressed to her lips, gesturing for Shari to keep quiet. - Don't shout, - Lisa started. - Why did you run from him? I saw it, everything was going so well, you almost... - she was very obviously preparing for a long speech, but Shari interrupted her:

- Almost what, Lisa? You bring me here, lie to me that I wouldn't meet him and then disappear for weeks leaving me alone! - You never believed you wouldn’t meet him here, you’re not that stupid, - the ghost cut in confidently. - Don't you see what is going on to me? – Shari ignored her. - I... I can't! I can't love your husband, it's just wrong! Especially not from your own advice, this is just...- she hugged her shoulders in a mix of frustration, feeling the tears come threateningly close to flooding her vision again.

- But he’ll love you too, don't you see this was the whole point? It's working, he cares for you, he is in love with you, he will... - Lisa tried to explain, her hand coming to rest lightly at Shari's forearms.

- No! Stop! I see where you're heading with this. "To make him pity you and change the rage into mercy"! There was never any way I could stop the castle’s traveling mechanisms - you simply stuck to your plan and guided me to him. You did this on purpose, well, happy now, are you? ...You don't even understand, - Shari said gravely after a while. - He doesn't love me. He sees you in me and that is what makes him care – even if he does care. He misses you, Lisa, he wants you back and in me he sees a replacement. Lord, I can't believe I am saying this, but this is exactly the reason why your plan is awful. He may be interested for now, that will occupy his thoughts for a while. But at some point he is going to come back to the realisation that I'm fake - that I am not you and am never going to be you. I will never be a fitting replacement and as soon as he realizes it, I will be painfully dead and the war will rage on further. I'm nothing to him, but your shadow, - she ran both her hands through her hair in a gesture of despair.

- You're wrong, Shari, you're just under...

- I'm right. And what is the worst part: now I know I'm falling for him and I can do nothing about it.... I'm already in love with him, although he will never feel the same - never love me for what I am, - she sobbed quietly. - I should have predicted this, you know, expected... But my goodness this suddenly so much more than I have anticipated?! - she fell back on the covers, breathing heavily. Lisa caressed her head.

- I hope time will prove you wrong. If you could see things from my perspective, maybe you wouldn't be so pained, - Shari turned away from the ghost slightly, shutting her eyes. - But I guess you are not in the mood for a change of viewpoint tonight.

Silence ensued, and in a minute the ghost disappeared with a dissatisfied huff, leaving the healer alone to her thoughts. Lisa was guilty and frustrated at the same time, but most of all absolutely useless to the situation - whatever it was between the two it was now only up to them to sort it out.

- I need to get out of here, - Shari whispered to herself desperately, curling in a tight ball on top of the covers.

***

Dracula growled under his breath, his forehead connecting with the side of the doorframe as he leaned on the locked door. "No. Don't run. Come back". He could feel the vibrations from her beating heart: she was still close, he knew she was pressed to the door from the other side. Just a few inches apart. His hand slid angrily against the wood, his claws leaving four traces on the dark surface. "Open up". But the door stayed locked.

The vampire stepped away as he sensed her move further into the room, leaving his grasp all together. He shook his head, disappearing in a cloud of grey fog that slid along the corridor. He reappeared in his own form only back in his empty, dimly lit chambers. What the hell was wrong with him? What was he thinking? What was he going to do with her? That witch, that human, that stupid sweet caring creature... Oh no.

He chuckled bitterly, sinking into a chair and hiding his face in his palms. So this is what he came to. This is what he felt for her in the end. It shouldn't be - it was against every prediction he made for his lonely hateful future. She was a goddamn human and his son's friend. Not someone like her. This is utterly stupid, illogical, idiotic... and true. Dracula groaned, his fist going down and connecting harshly with the armrest of the chair. That awful flying feeling setting inside of him - he knew well that the best he could do for himself was to burn it out with hatred and he knew just as well that he simply wouldn't be able to - so he would have to do the second best thing and try to make it support him.

He knew enough of the emotion and he had made plenty of mistakes recognising it before. This time he wouldn't. He was aware it was dangerous and cruel. He knew what this could lead to. The vampire had loved enough times before.

Lisa moved towards him slowly from her corner - she knew he wouldn't see or sense her, but was still hesitant to reach out. How much she wanted to support him, to help him let go and move on, to return to his stronger self. The ghost neared the vampire carefully. She put her hand on his shoulder softly, even though he wouldn't feel it, it was as much as she could do. Dracula growled quietly, whispering something under his breath. Oh, Vlad, what is happening to you?

top 5 pieces of vampire media!

oh god oh fuck autism beam

5. vampire academy but only from a worldbuilding perspective. i really love the rich interweaving of vampire folklore and mythos that went into the series especially with the undertones of class dynamics which imo is pretty cool for a YA series to undertake. i do think they’re not great narratively and are probably actively harmful given the 17 year old protag’s love interest being um 24 and also her teacher

4. what we do in the shadows :) silly time in my enclosure

3. dracula specifically because it’s such a cornerstone to modern vampire literature. like obviously carmilla/the vampyre were the first pieces of anglophone vampire fiction but no one has really . read them, at least in my experience academically. my supervisor hadn’t read carmilla until like a year ago and he’s one of the most well read people i’ve met - but he had read dracula, and my thesis advisor knows the most about dracula, and hardly anyone knows anything about the others. and just personally it isn’t my fav but it holds such a special place in my heart

2. carmilla kind of sucks but it’s never left my brain neverrrrrr i can’t ever stop thinking about the dialogue or the how this could have been such a perfect piece of longform fiction

1. the vampire chronicles - stop help i can’t articulate this well. ummm. my favorite thing about tvc is that anne rice didn’t need to cut the vampirism with humanity except when it was through the eyes of the vampires themselves. like louis is the it girl because he’s soooo human and every vampire wants to hit that because they think it’s sexy and different and delicious the way a human would view vampirism. if that makes sense. and even with devil’s minion that’s supposed to be a character defining thing for ARMAND, not daniel really, because in tvc vampirism is the assumed base of morality/feeling/art/relationships etc. like. hi :)

i am extremely EXTREMELY picky about what vampire media i consume and i always have been - i’ve never seen the vampire diaries or true blood or whatever and i was only into twilight in elementary and middle school … the moment my mom passed the anne rice torch to me it was game over for everything else lol but i suppose an honorable mention should go to hemlock grove for largely the same reasons as vampire academy however i think vampire academy just cared a little more about history :P

[aartifex-a]

Before he became a vampire, Gerard was fascinated by them. Vampires became a special interest of his, and he consumed a ton of vampire media. Some of the most important influences he had were books and movies he read in high school and early adulthood.

His first exposure to vampires that truly captured his imagination was watching The Lost Boys when he was about 10. It awakened a few things in him: his love of vampires, and his romantic inclinations towards other men. He wanted to be Kiefer Sutherland and hold his hand at the same time. After that, he watched Fright Night, Vampire’s Kiss, The Monster Squad and Elvira: Mistress of the Dark. He would watch old reruns of The Munsters and The Addams Family growing up, but The Lost Boys was what really set off his vampire obsession. 

By the time he got to middle school, he started reading vampire books and horror comics. He really loved Morbius comics and read Dracula over and over in grades 7 and 8. In high school, he watched Interview With The Vampire, Dracula (the 1992 film adaptation), Nosferatu (yes, the silent film) and From Dusk Til’ Dawn as many times as he could manage. He read Anne Rice’s vampire novels, and picked up a copy of Carmilla too. He was thoroughly entrenched in his love for vampires, and it wasn’t a phase.

In college, he watched Blade and Buffy the Vampire Slayer (the TV series). After dropping out of college, he watched Queen of the Damned and read Jemiah Jefferson’s Vampire Quartet books. He particularly loved Jefferson’s works. Voice of the Blood was life changing for him; it was gritty, gross, sexy, bloody, and made his skin crawl in every way imaginable. He was entranced by Ricari, the main vampire, who was a fancy European goth rocker and everything he wanted to be and everything he wanted to fuck. 

In 2004, having been out of college for a few years and in a stagnant place in life, he discovered My Chemical Romance after the breakout success of I’m Not Okay off of their second album. He went back and listened to their first album, and Vampires Will Never Hurt You got him hooked. It combined two things he loved, two special interests all in one: alternative rock and vampires. By this point he was working with and for Yves, and knew vampires were real. He had known for a while he wanted to be a vampire, he wanted to experience it for real, but this music gave him a new outlook on life. It was relatable, it was invigorating, and he damn near formed a whole new identity around My Chemical Romance and Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge. He still bases his aesthetic on this era to this day.

When Twilight (the novel) came out in early October 2005, he was already Yves’s familiar and assistant and had been for a few years. The plans for him to become a vampire were already made, and the date was set for October 31, 2005. In preparation and excitement, he picked up a copy of the latest vampire book at a bookstore. He read it in a few days, and even though it wasn’t exactly Shakespeare he still enjoyed it. He was already a young vampire when the movie was released a few years later in 2008, but he appreciated the new take on vampires and some of the cheesier elements of the franchise.

Watching “Weird” Movies Together

master list

Charlie Dalton: You and Charlie watched a lot of movies together. You liked horror movies and Charlie liked Comedies. To go outside your box Charlie suggested you two watch Airplane. You thought the movie was dumb while Charlie spent the entire time laughing.

Chris Noel: You and Chris live for weird awful movies from the 2000s and 90s. One of your favorites happens to be Scary Movie 2, the plot is weird but so funny to you. Chris loved the movie she thought it was hilarious.

Gerard Pitts: You and Gerard liked horror movies and thrillers. You couldn't really understand comedies and thought watching them would be a bore. But Gerard's friend Meeks recommended "The Starving Games" a parody movie. You really enjoyed it although Pitts spent the entire time complaining about how dumb it was.

Knox Overstreet: You and Knox loved romantic comedies, movies that had a lot of romance in it and you two ended up crying over. But because Knox is friends with Charlie and Charlie is a huge fan of comedies he recommended "Not Another Teen Movie". Which is a parody of romantic comedies. You and Knox were able to laugh and go "yeah that happens a lot".

Neil Perry: Neil really liked Twilight and the second Twilight went on Netflix he'd watch it at least twice a day. You liked it but slowly got annoyed by it and recommended watching "Vampires Suck". Neil was able to enjoy it and soon stopped watching Twilight so much but did buy vampire fangs and auditioned for the role of Dracula.

Richard Cameron: Cameron was a strong believer of "no such thing as a bad movie" that's until you two watched "Epic Movie" then he started to believe some movies were just dumb and shouldn't have been released.

Steven Meeks: Steven liked psychological thrillers and movies that made you think and go "wtf" at the end. You on the other hand really liked stupid comedies that honestly made no sense at all. You told Meeks to let his brain rest and watch "The Disaster Movie". He absolutely hated it and said that it made his head hurt after. You just laughed and called him dramatic.

Todd Anderson: Todd hates watching horror movies so when you told him that you two would be watching "Scary Movie" he was very hesitant. He didn't want to at first because of the name but then you explained the plot and he allowed it. He didn't like it, he thought the humor was awful but towards the end he would laugh along with you.
