#so neither is a vampire

#TO CLARIFY ON THE SECOND POINT: VAMPIRES *HAVE* A REPRODUCTION METHOD THAT IS NOT SEX-BASED #THAT IS THE MAJOR POINT OF THAT ONE. THAT VAMP REPRODUCTION IS BASED ON CONVERTING INTO UNDEAD AND NOT PREGNANCY #what i think i keep coming back to is that a vampire is like. a form of pathogen or perhaps parasite #is the individual vampire meaningfully distinct from that? maybe #sort of a made up question #but that’s not a mammal #so neither is a vampire #but also like. a human is a mammal #this question sponsored by my friend who said she was done keeping mammals bc ‘they have so much fluid in them’ #and my thought that a vampire Wouldn’t #not a lot of fluids. happening there

the thing about lestat and armand is that their relationship is literally incomprehensible. they are boy best friends they are codependent worsties they are archrivals they are platonic soulmates they are telepathic gossipers they are part time haters and full time ride or dies they are insane bisexuals but most importantly. they are toxic exes. despite the fact that they have never once dated. hope this helps

#they are the most compelling dynamic in the entire world anne put something different in their relationship #like god. they love each other so much but they can’t have a normal conversation about it. they just show up when the other is in trouble #neither of them has another relationship quite like the one they have with each other #I’m genuinely experiencing previously undiscovered emotions over them #single-handedly fueling my own lesmand boy best friends fic agenda #iwtv #interview with the vampire #the vampire chronicles #the vampire armand #lestat de lioncourt #lesmand #m watches iwtv

*Sometime after 1475 in hell*

Satan: Yo, Luci, has Vlad Tepes showed up yet? He died like three months ago, and he's not heaven

Lucifer: What? No. He hasn't showed up at all, the fuck do you mean he isn't in heaven?

Satan: Yea, some angel was asking if we had him, because we didn't. There's also like an ungodly amount of souls missing aside from that one. I think there's like over four thousand souls that are also missing as well...

Lucifer: ....There's four thousand souls missing?

Satan: Yes.

Lucifer: Well, I guess we should see what's going down on the Mortal planes than....

_____

*Dracula doing as Dracula does and devouring his own people*

Lucifer: Ok, who the fuck allowed that to happen? Who the fuck green lit that? Who let Vlad Tepes turn into a goddamn Eldritch abomination??

Satan: I think the humans are calling it a vampire

Lucifer: A vampire? That's what that is? I'm sorry, that still doesn't answer my question of who in the seven layers of hell green lit that thing!!

Satan: We didn't. The blood choose for it happen.

Lucifer: The fuck do you mean the blood chose for it

Satan: Too many people died in one place, and Vlad was too angry to die.

Lucifer: .....God allowed this to happen didn't he? He fucking let this happen, didn't He, the fucking bastard

#enjoy my rambles #alucard hellsing #hellsing #vladcard #hellsing ultimate #dracula #shitpost #Vladcard was too angry to die and so was four thousand other souls #God may or may not have let this happen for shits and giggles #hell had nothing to do with Alucard's state of being #An Eldritch being of neither heaven or hell #Just the abyss #Based off my theory that Alucard's method of becoming a vampire is based on two factors and neither of them are related to heaven or hell #but like based more in the nature of humans and more primordial aspects

OKAY OKAY but the way Louis is split in two with both Claudia and Lestat trying to vie for his attention, for his love, but Claudia is able to jump into his mind, to ask him to come with her without Lestat hearing, and that’s the moment Lestat calls him Lou, because he sees him looking towards her and he has no idea what she’s telling him but he knows he’s losing him to her. And how that desperation immediately turns to rage, to blame, to accusation. By turning them both, he’s turned them both against him, he can’t read them, can’t understand them as deeply as they understand each other, and it’s only when Claudia says out loud so he can hear exactly what she wants him to: Come with me. Let’s be vampires worthy of your love. That he truly snaps.

Lestat knows he’s lost. Has known it for all the time Louis had spent searching restlessly for Claudia’s mind.

And the conclusion to this rage, with Lestat and Louis flown out far into the sky, so far away that Lestat hopes no other mind can reach Louis’. So that Claudia can’t hear. So that they’re truly alone. And he finally admits just how deeply his love for Louis reaches, and just how fine a thread he’s been clinging to coming to terms with the fact that perhaps Louis doesn’t love him, may never have loved him, in the way that he loves him.

And yet even in that moment with Louis half drained and gasping the frigid thin air, with Lestat begging him to just admit it, that he doesn’t love him, Louis... doesn’t. Instead he says let go of me. And I wonder, perhaps, what Lestat hears in that, what those words connote for him. Is Louis only asking to be put down, or is he asking Lestat to let go of this obsession with him? That change in Lestat’s eyes, the bitterness of not getting a solid answer but still coming to some sort of conclusion sells it for him. So, when he drops Louis, it’s as performative as any other gesture.

He may want Louis to feel that he is done with him, but that will never be true.

#iwtv #interview with the vampire #iwtv spoilers #1x05 #loustat #a vile hunger for your hammering heart #lestat de lioncourt #louis de pointe du lac #claudia #i cannot encapsulate just how spectacular their dynamic is to me #and then of course you have louis' retellings in the present day absolutely hammering home that this performance of disconnect is a two way #street. that neither one will ever be done with the other. #he loves lestat too but the fact that they can't read each other's minds can't know each others thoughts puts that wedge between them #CONSTANTLY. they spend an endless dance of second guessing each other's feelings. and lestat's jealousy over claudia's ability to know #louis in a way he can't makes me insane. it's SO good. #anyway i have a lot of feelings so i'mma stop now 😂

I can’t believe this is part of an actual chapter I’m going to post on the fucking internet tomorrow.

a few things to say okayy

So the armanlou woah it is absolutely insane how their symbiosis is quite literally symbioticing and it is the body language in both of them that makes it. I see louis with his arm around armand trying to snuggle in closer armands arm is leaned up against his space louis is quite literally on the verge of sitting on him. Like they have a whole couch and they need to be in each others vacinity like THAT (knees touching and all)

the motions as louis is hypnotic in ways of how he does move armand is hypnotic in ways he does not. Louis is oh so graceful even in his cattiness he has that type of flowy nature that you cannot stop to look at--animated in his art. Armand is very still statuesque yes hypnotic to see the small ways he moves but even more entrancing to see how he does not move--statuesque in his art. (Humanesque [as louis is the most human vampire] hypnotic attraction vs Alien hypnotic attraction)

The height in the way directed. The framing always allows for Louis to be shorter--Louis is not in the forefront of it. (Yes a blockade between Louis and Daniel) The space itself also presents us these image of two beings illuminating in the light vs daniel surrounded by greys to the point of hes gray himself (oh yes his shirt blends in with the greys around him... rather than w/ louis-armand who's colors pop out in the warm background)

also 🚨👹the groan 👹🚨 featured nearing the end of it

Would you put your trust in the bloodmoon? ✨

Just wanted to draw Luna and her vampire "friend" Lana, yes it's very silly their names are one letter away, it was not intentional funny enough

#tiefling #vampire #luna aegis #my characters #my art #smash-chu's art #their relationship is a murky one hence the ''friend'' #luna did swear to help lana cause she really has nothing better to be doing being an adventurer trying to find excuses to not return home #and it's ended up with the two enjoying each other's company a lot #but luna is unsure about calling anything official or thinking about possible feelings cause she's still sorta grieving her dead wife #so yeah it's an interesting time for sure with neither fully committing but also clearly not minding the idea in honest #anyways back to continuing on other arts

[identityquest]

i dont. have an excuse for this actually

#sketch #ocs #oc:drogmeydok #i cannot main tag this i think it would kill me. anyways hes kinda desperate for your character its sorta pathetic #like you want me so bad and im just here to kill some rando whos bothering me i couldnt care less abt you #also in oc canon sugar is dealing with the vampire quest at the moment. neither her or dmd is having fun

Holding my slurs like ferocious dogs on a leash

#so for context I’m working on a promare au #and I am making several passes for each of the main casts outfit #this one is one of the many thrown out designs for Prime’s burnish outfit and I love it very dearly #it’s stupidly revealing and doesn’t make sense neither for a burnish nor Prime to wear #but I love it so much I spent my morning making stupid drawing of it #it has a high ratio of dramatic vampire for very little edgy anime villain for my goal #rick prime #rick and morty #three headed snake

my babysitter's a vampire + villains (insp) as in characters with naturally evil tendencies and actions, not just creatures/people made evil by mistake (usually benny's) or created by someone for a specific purpose

#mbav #my babysitter's a vampire #vampireedit #stern #jesse #richard waugh #joe dinicol #i am NOT tagging all these people lmao #flashing tw #long post #meus #usereris #i hated the lucia and jacob ones but i just couldn't find any shots that worked so this will have to do #debbie dazzle is in this because she became obsessed with being alive but IN MY OPINION!!!!! that had nothing to do with the spell #she became evil on her own accord #sarah being possed by the spirit from the netherlands- i mean world was because rory was stupid but the spirit was already evil #and the mask not being here was because rory put it on thus making himself 'evil' which he naturally isn't and neither is the mask tbh #it was just doing what it was meant to do which clearly does not fly in this century #and cyberdontist and evil sarah literally aren't real

Serbian Folk Religion in 100 Terms // Narodna Religija Srba u 100 Pojmova (1991) - Dušan Bandić

"Dr. Dušan Bandić (1938-2004) was a professor of ethnology at the Faculty of Philosophy in Belgrade and for a time the head of the Department of National Ethnology and Anthropology.'' - in my attempt to make more sources on ex-yu culture accessible, i've begun to scan and share some of the good material i've read! due to some expressed interest, here is a segment on vampires and watermills (which are connected to vampires)! - for folks who can read serbo-croatian and cyrillic, you can read the direct scans from the book here and for those of you who can't, i've translated the pages into english myself and you can read them here. hope some of you enjoy reading about vampires before they were sexy! if you are interested in reading any of the other segments, you can find a table of contents here and let me know which you'd like to see first. (note: while im fluent in english and put a lot of effort into these translations, i'm by no means a professional translator. my primary focus was that the facts were translated correctly and relayed what people believed)

#its here finally i did it!!!! #i think i'll start tagging all my archiving and information sharing attempts with #basil archives #really hope somebody enjoys this! #i've read the whole book myself and can confirm that its a lovely source of reliable information #written before the onslaught of nationalism #just a genuine account of some folkloric beliefs #balkan youth have always outlived evil times #myposts #also this books talks about the beliefs of serbs from all over bosnia croatia and motenegro as well #and as we know the beliefs of a village didnt split across ethnic lines before uh modern times #so its not exclusively serbian beliefs #neither of the texts are large btw! #vampires a 5/6 pages watermill like 2 or 3 #btw if anyone notices any mistakes please let me know! english or serbian #also if google drive is for whichever reasons not working also let me know!
