Vampires are human and that's what's terrifying about them. The whole rhetoric that vampires loose their human soul upon their transformation is just a good reason to kill them. And it also does make them seem like absolute monsters, untrustworthy liars, beasts. It offers solace to separate humans from monsters with such an obvious and clear line. But vampires are human in the exact way a human is human. What makes them monsters is that they have no limits and no repercussions for their actions. They're immortal, strong humans that can do as they please without being punished. That's why they're monsters. It's not because they're not human anymore. It's because they're as much human as one can be. They're humans with no limits.

I deeply believe it is a law of nature that as soon as you get turned into a vampire (especially if male), your top three buttons just magically open up or the top of your shirt unties, because...

...if people can't see your collarbone, are you even a vampire?

I also brought evidence!

Exhibit A:

Astarion (obviously...), Baldur's Gate 3

Exhibit B:

Alucard, Castlevania (technically only half a vampire but giving full vampire energy)

Exhibit C:

Lestat de Lioncourt, Interview with the Vampire

Exhibit D:

Adam (left), Only Lovers Left Alive

Exhibit E:

Gabriel de Léon, Empire of the Vampire (yeah yeah, ik, this is basically cheating because he's only half vampire, but hear me out:)

(Shirt has left the building at this point)

Exhibit F:

Damon Salvatore, The Vampire Diaries

Exhibit C (Addition):

(Again) Lestat, Queen of the Damned (you can barely see it here, and I'm willing to accept this as addition to Exhibit C)

Exhibit G:

Selene, Underworld (showing at least the one part of skin that's important!)

I'll happily accept additional evidence supporting my case, thank you!

Why do I feel like Gabriel De León and Geralt would get along well together and commiserate about their adopted daughters? 🤔 I also wonder about them bickering over types of swords and the best way to kill monsters

[austenwazright]

All those insults, the "let me see your ink", the long looks..... yeah, I'm sure Gabriel and François are flirting

5 star reads of 2024 ↳ empire of the damned by jay kristoff

[books-and-strawberry-tea]

Adjusted my TBR…again…for the millionth time.

I won’t be able to read all these next year obviously. But if I don’t like something, I can just DNF it. Life’s too short to force yourself through a book you don’t like.

Have you guys decided yet??

[reinekes-fox]

My colleagues „oh are you reading the bible?“

… something like that

[tg-pilled]

Realizing I really enjoy when a vampire is being interviewed. Can't get enough of that shit

Thought yall here might appreciate my Gabriel de Léon cosplay from Halloween this year
