And the worst part is that vampires and werewolves being allies is infinitely more interesting than them being at each other's throats for the gagillianth fucking time.

There's something hilarious about how so much subsequent media has positioned Vampires and Werewolves as, like, binary opposite entities, and then you read Dracula (1897) and realize that wolves are that guy's preferred solution to every problem. You'd say something to Dracula about "ah yes, werewolves, vampires' great eternal enemies," and he'd just be like "you mean my subcontractors?"

psychologically fumbling with my sense of self-preservation as a vampire has his fangs mere inches from my neck

I love the intrigue and the danger of masked balls. I know there was a lot of moral hand-wringing about masquerades in the 18th century (which just upped their cool factor) and I suppose that undercurrent of naughty appeal didn't immediately go away in the 19th century either.

I know we never get any answers, but I'm left wondering if Carmilla's "mother" is in fact her sire and the circle of other people in on their grift are thralls, given that they are described as looking haggard and deathly pale. Maybe La Comtesse is old enough that she no longer needs to feed so often (or maybe she just feeds more indiscriminately and callously), but Carmilla is still enough of a baby vampire that she needs help feeding herself, especially since she seems conflicted by her desire.

I can finally share my piece for @vampirehunterdzine! I'd been wanting to draw some VHD art for a while so this was a dream zine. Thanks to everyone who supported the project!

Bella: You didn’t have to come all the way out here, you know.

Stiles: Oh, please. My cousin moves to the middle of nowhere, starts dating a guy who looks like he stepped out of a gothic romance novel, and nearly gets crushed by a van her first week? Yeah, that totally doesn’t scream "possible supernatural crisis."

Bella: Stiles—

Stiles: No, no, I get it. Forks is so exciting now. Vampires, werewolves, whatever else is lurking in the woods. Seriously, Bells, if you wanted danger, you could’ve just visited Beacon Hills. We’ve got a great selection of death traps.

Bella: You’re being dramatic.

Stiles: Am I? Because I swear to god, I saw one of your boyfriend’s family members not blink for a solid five minutes.

Bella: That’s just how they are!

Stiles: Uh-huh. And let me guess, the really intense one—Edward, right? He’s definitely not watching you sleep at night, right?

Bella: …

Stiles: Oh my god.

Charlie (from the kitchen): Stiles, I like you, kid. Stay as long as you want.
