many thoughts about vampires and how consuming their media with a strict, humanistic moral lens defeats the purpose
#before someone misreads this as me saying we shouldn’t apply morals to vampires - NO!#i’m not saying this#it’s just not the ‘gotcha!’ fandoms think it is#there’s also lots of cherry-picking in applying morality#we should be able to discuss morality from a nuanced perspective of character dissection#not for the sake of policing#i think a lot abt ppl who pick up vampire muses who have done some heinous things and then remove it#most notably damon salvatore#or it gets brushed under the rug : katherine pierce#and there’s two sides of it. ppl who romanticize or refuse to acknowledge vile acts or ppl who weaponize it just to#exert a sense of superiority#anyways all this to say#any villainous or villainous adjacent or muses who just do vile things - none of that is watered down here#and i dont want ppl to feel as tho they can’t criticize a character’s problematic behavior#u can#i do not care#bc i took up the muses knowing they’re shit ppl :p and want to dissect it#and bc i know im normal and wouldn’t romanticize it (i think ppl who’ve written w me for years could attest to it)#just block the tags for any of them if needed!!#putting this out there bc i have lenore on my list and im very aware of the polarizing takes on her
