#some random vampire comedy

🍿Watching movies with Astarion Headcanons!🍿

(Because I literally put this in a chapter of 'This Bites'.)

Astarion's favorite genre would obviously be horror movies.

All the gore and carnage really gets him excited.

He WILL give you a hard time for showing any fear.

"Really darling? After everything we've been through this is what reduces you to a shivering kitten. It's rather embarrassing sweetie."

He'll roll his eyes and pull you into his lap, wrapping his arms around you. "I suppose I'll just have to keep you safe then. You poor sweet pitiful thing."

Of course if the horror movie has clowns anywhere in it he's the one acting like a terrified kitten.

But he won't admit it. "I was NOT afraid. I'm a vampire! I'm far more frightening than some makeup caked fool!"

Refuses to let you comfort him and just sits there, paranoidly looking over his shoulders.

Alien horror movies (especially the weird grotesque slimy alien ones) are also not recommended as they make him very nauseous.

You may end up having to clean blood off the carpet.

Vampire movies annoy him. Too many inaccuracies and some of the tropes don't make sense to him.

Especially the brooding male vampire lead who's so tormented because he has to kill people.

"Oh boo hoo you murdered a bunch of villains. Get over it. Killing is the best part of being a vampire! Fucking poser."

He'll hate watch some of the shitty vampire flicks with you tho

Lives for drama filled flicks. The more chaos the better.

Any comedy movie with meanspirited or immature humor is a win, it'll keep him entertained as long as it's not too stupid.

He doesn't get into nerdy fantasy movies too much. The man literally lives in a medieval fantasy world so he's seen a lot of the Lord of the rings type stuff first hand.

He'll watch them with you at least once tho.

Gets annoyed if you watch a nerdy flick with Gale because the wizard won't shut up about if what is going on in the movie is actually possible/realistic and keeps listing random geeky facts about his favorite films.

"SHUT THE FUCK UP GALE!"

Secretly likes mushy romance movies, but you'll never get him to admit it.

Only openly enjoys them if they have a lot of sex scenes.

Of course he's gonna tease you if you're the type to get embarrassed during those scenes.

Very subtly runs his hand over your thigh without even looking at you.

Has a smug smirk on his face while he does it too.

May or may not be interested in some as the kids say 'netflix and chill'.

Depends on his mood really.

Drinks a little bit of your blood while watching if you offer it to him.

Will ugly cry if a loveable dog or cat dies at the end of the movie.

The Hidden Love Story of What We Do in the Shadows: How The Internet Fell in Love with Harvey Guillen’s Guillermo de la Cruz

I think it’s fair to call this show what it is: a comedy.

The actors have said it’s themselves: the show is 50% improv, 50% script. A lot of what we see is a brilliant collaboration of talent, writing, and the actors saying the funniest thing they can say about something in that moment.

According to Harvey Guillen, some scenes would last 30 minutes each if they didn’t cut it down. That improv is what makes the show what is it: the funniest show on television.

What’s interesting about this little Shit and Fart show (affectionate), is the heart of it all: Guillermo.

Originally the show was looking for an older man to play Nandor’s familiar. The character had worked for his master for 20 years, not 10 as we see in the pilot episode.

Harvey got an audition randomly. At a wine and cheese night of a friend’s, he was invited to audition for the part. It was random, but also, it was fate.

Let me explain.

Harvey Guillen auditioning for the role of Guillermo

(I actually have the full audition tape of Harvey’s if anyone’s interested.) Link below!

Harvey didn’t “fit the part” (Harvey’s words) whatsoever of this character and decided to dress himself to look older, putting on what he calls his Harry Potter glasses and parted his hair down the middle.

The Guillermo we see in the pilot was all Harvey’s idea of what that character should be and the costuming department just ran with it. It’s also fun to point out that to those who don’t know, Harvey created Guillermo’s last name even before he knew he’d play the show’s Vampire Slayer.

I mention this because I don’t think they (showrunner, producers,etc) expected Guillermo to become such a fan favorite. Which kinda explains why his character is the punching bag of season one and why it somewhat changes as seasons go by.

I mean, we don’t even see Guillermo in this season one poster (we don’t see Colin Robinson, either. But I feel like I could write an entirely other post about that character and why I think he’s genuinely the best and most consistently written character on the show. But I won’t right now).

I think they expected Guillermo to be a one-note side kick, which is fine. Many of Harvey’s previous roles were nearly background characters (think Benedict Pickwick in The Magicians).

But, Harvey’s take on the character coupled with his talent at being both comedic and dramatic really shined through. And I think that’s where you start to see that maybe they could do more with him than just being the funny guy in the background.

I also think that’s why you start to see some threading of a more serious plot when it comes to Guillermo’s storyline because of Harvey’s range.

Who would’ve known a funny bit like being a Van Helsing descent in a house full of vampires would get you compelling scenes like the familiar fight The Night Market, Nouveau Théâtre des Vampires, and the Nandor and Guillermo fight in The Portrait?

Harvey mentioned having to train for these and wanted to do his own stunts! And he does them well!

Did they imagine Guillermo being such a badass in the pilot? Probably not. But he is and people took to it. The serious fight scenes (even with bits of comedy filtered in) really stand out in their own as excellent action scenes.

Along with badass scenes, Harvey delivered compelling emotional scenes like Guillermo’s coming out (which Harvey actually cried in as well as other cast and crew, and they had to edit it to not make it too serious), the scene he left Nandor for Celeste, and many scenes in S5’s Exit Interview.

I also think they didn’t anticipate his chemistry with Kayvan Novak. It’s brought up a lot in interviews with them and everyone can tell that they genuinely are really good friends in real life, which makes acting together on screen that much better.

(Funny enough, he was supposed to do a chemistry read with Kayvan before shooting and wasn’t able to meet him until they were on set for the pilot. )

I think in some ways, even though the show wanted it to be a funny Gaston and Lefou type relationship, Kayvan and Harvey had undeniable chemistry you couldn’t deny.

And I think that began to grow with their character’s evolving relationship. From master and servant to friends to sometimes the show and network alluding to them being in a romance (Guillermo’s drunk love confession, Marwa liking what Nandor likes, the Network making videos about shipping Nandermo).

And even Paul Simms (the one who is being grilled for That’s His Boss quote), also said “Guillermo and Nandor is the greatest love story in modern television.”

So yeah, I think originally they started the show with the intention that it was supposed to be similar to the movie that shares its name. The Nandor/Guillermo drama of Shadows the TV show would be so out of place in the movie. The whole Guillermo vampire arc, if it was movie inspired, would not be as dramatic as they have made it in the show.

Looking back to the pilot, I can see that they really tried to make it as close to the source material as possible. But I think it took off in a direction that even the creators didn’t imagine it would go. Just a silly little comedy show about silly little vampires. And don’t get me wrong, it still definitely is.

But the show has evolved. And for better or worse, Nandor and Guillermo’s relationship will be one of the most compelling things about the show and I’m curious where they are going to take it now.

I guess this turned into a bit of an Harvey Guillen appreciation post and honestly, why not? Look at that adorable face.

Have you ever designed a monster yourself? And what makes good and bad monster design?

Wait I'm not sure how you're familiar with me or from where because designing my own monsters is my main thing! Are there other people who might know of my reviews but somehow miss my original stuff?!

I've made the interactive horror/comedy webcomic "Awful Hospital" for nine years now which is up to over a thousand distinct creature designs if we include all background entities.

I've long exceeded a thousand creatures (not all of them released) for Mortasheen, a monster collecting setting I've developed for now roughly twenty two years which is releasing soon as a tabletop RPG

Outside those two "big" ongoing projects I can barely begin to calculate how many monsters I've drawn. There are hundreds more for miscellaneous comics, jokes, graphics for my website and just random miscellany

That's just "finished" things though. If we go by monsters I've only designed as sketched concepts there's at least one, sometimes a few dozen new unique creatures on every page of my used notebooks, the average has 100 pages and I've filled enough of those in 39 years of living that I think I may have possibly come up with more than one million different creatures?

As for the original question though, a good design is one that someone somewhere loves. There aren't bad designs, but there are designs that aren't to my own taste, sometimes designs that I feel aren't right for their intended purpose, and sometimes designs that were forced by someone else in the chain of command to be less interesting than the artist originally pitched. These things don't make the designs themselves bad, but they are all interesting things to analyze and discuss!

My least favorite thing to see is a setting where every monster is just exactly its most basic trope, the same dragon and zombie and dracula vampire everybody knows, but I think most people agree that's boring. Some settings however just need those classics to be a presence for various reasons. Sometimes it's the whole point, which is fine too!

my predictions for wwwyf:

the whole band does the family guy death pose on the ground for the entire time slot instead of playing music. the crowd immediately gets lost trying to sing along without them and at some point it devolves into people shouting random parts of songs they like (this is especially funny for the songs that are definitively not in the black parade)

the previous thing but an event coordinator peeks on stage, pokes a few people with their shoe, and starts frantically making phone calls in a hushed but distinctly panicky voice

the concert starts like normal, but quickly devolves into a slapstick comedy performance of looney-tunes-esque injuries to reference the many injuries mcr sustained while doing the original black parade tours and music videos

mcr isn't on stage at all and the only thing you can see is vocaloid-style hologram skeletons doing the skeleton dance

i am in a completely different city at goodwill shopping for pieces of my halloween costume right at the time they start playing the breakdown in mama. as this is my favorite part of the whole black parade, i abruptly keel over from a heart attack in the middle of the store because of the transcendent power of band autism. in the decades that follow, no one will ever be able to understand the cause of my death, but let it be known that if you strain your ears to listen in the graveyard at night, the black parade can be heard quietly, almost inaudibly so, echoing from my headstone.

there isn't any comment about mcr5 the entire time. because we are conspiracy theorists, we take this as a tacit confirmation that mcr5 will infact be happening imminently

at certain points throughout the tracklist, random, or rather seemingly random, lyrics are changed by a letter or a word. this is enough to draw people's attention, and as it turns out, if you type all the changes made into a search engine, the singular result aside from people theorizing about it on reddit is an unknown, sketchy website that looks like it would instantly give you 500 malware and die. the website displays only a single picture of realistic human skull. when you inspect it, hidden amongst the code is a very different type of code, a cryptic string of letters and numbers. as it turns out, this text is actually instructions that have been put through WWII-era war encryptions. when translated, this text gives driving directions. if you follow its commands starting from the wwwyf grounds, you'll be taken on a downright frightening drive through some of the most backend streets & drug dealer houses & decrepit graveyards in the entire southwest. once you're thoroughly lost, then and only then will you be able to find the warehouse. this warehouse is a laburinthine mess of ancient relics, long-lost props from music videos, several very authentic looking vampire corpses, a few questionably stained revolvers, killjoy masks, rubble from the world trade centers, vintage marching band uniforms, a shocking variety of weapons, and finally a single edison tin foil cylinder. survivors from the warehouse later state they felt an overwhelming presence and could have sworn they saw a shadow in the corner of their eyes. after several months in the intensive care unit and several more months in both physical and mental therapy, these brave souls will place the cylinder, with shaking, scarred, and weak hands, into the phonograph, from which, after a torturous second of silence, will echo the first sweet notes of mcr5.

they accidentally point the pyrotechnics at the audience. oops!

some gay shit happens idk

Suggest me shows to watch for con o'neill cuz im sad

Oh BOY have you come to the right place! Currently on a real Con safari over here.

I recommend Uncle first and foremost, because it's a comedy. Con plays Val, who's quite similar to Izzy in some ways (fiercely protective, insightful, funny, occasionally aggressive), but in drag/genderqueer with a more nurturing presence. Which is wonderful.

On a more drama-y note. Happy Valley is an intense northern noir crime show where Con appears regularly in season 2-3 as Neil - very babygirl, very cute.

More niche, but he's in season 2 of 'Ordinary Lies' a slice of life drama set in a warehouse. Each episode focuses on one character that works there and he appears in most episodes - his focal episode is the first one in the series and it is heart breaking but has some lighter moments.

Cucumber (and I believe one episode of companion series Banana) is an LGBT drama, again with comedy moments. Con plays a lawyer and best friend of the main character. Very funny but also really dark in places (explicit in places, so be warned). I saw this when it came out in like 2015 and it was really solid.

The most niche example I've come across so far is a podcast called 'Kisses in the Dark' about a supernatural sort of vampiric killer (Con). Have only listened to episode one so far but it's very dark and creepy. It's on youtube, audible, lots of places.

There are random episodes of UK shows too, like Midsomer Murders, Wild Bill etc. Which you'd have to look up on his imdb, but these are the big ones I've seen right now.

'but but but male friendship and platonic intimacy are important toooo!!!'

Okay I'm sorry I've been hearing this over and over and over again through the years, it seems to be go-to response of creators/writers/actors/apologists every fucking time a possible queer M/M pairing is shafted to the side and I'm getting so tired of it.

First of all, like I've also been saying SO MANY TIMES through the years, the depiction of platonic male friendship and intimacy in media really isn't some kind of uncharted waters situation like all these people want us to believe. I would GUESS that platonic male friendship and comradery makes up at least 75% (if not more) of media created since films first started being made and that really says nothing of all the literature that preceded. Hell, 'buddy cop comedy' is a genre all unto itself and usually depicts two straight men in the main roles (not always, but when it's anything other than two straight guys it's generally seen as a subversion of the genre). I'm not saying that platonic male friendship doesn't have it's place in media and needs to be done away with wholesale and all fictional male friends now need to fuck and date each other, I'm not saying that it isn't important to show platonic queer male friend characters (more on this in a moment), I'm just saying I'm tired of people acting like 'platonic male friendship' is some kind of underrepresented, underappreciated thing in media every time someone doesn't want to write a queer M/M dynamic when you could literally select any film made between 1920 and now at random and there would be at least a 7/10 chance it depicted two or more men as platonic hetero friends as the emotional crux of the plot. Like please stop gaslighting us and just say you didn't want to write the thing, this is so stupid.

Second of all, (and this is what really gets me) most of these pieces of media that have ended up pulling the 'BUT PLATONIC QUEER FRIENDSHIP' card already fucking have male and even queer male characters as friends in the cast, outside of the relationship in question or, at the very least, have the potential to depict that with many other characters in the cast. Since I'm primarily reacting to Shadows here, I'll use that as a perfect example; both Guillermo and Nandor are friends with several other male characters in the cast, both peripheral and main. If platonic male friendship and intimacy is so important, then what about these dynamics? What about Guillermo and Laszlo's weird blossoming friendship in season 4? What about whatever it is Colin and Laszlo have going on? What about Nandor and Laszlo (though ig they fuck so maybe they don't count bc remember, sex between men is either gross or funny and meaningless)? SEAN AND LAZSLO?? What about Guillermo and Derek? (REMEMBER HIM??) Hell, what about Guillermo's friend from the orgy who ends up topping the vampire, both of whom we literally never hear of again?? Why are Nandor and Guillermo suddenly the load-bearing 'platonic male friendship' of the show when there were many, many, many, many other opportunities to depict that both with and without them? Suddenly at the eleventh hour when it was time to commit or quit to the Nandermo slowburn, 'platonic male friendship' is just so important you guys??? The math ain't mathing. ANOTHER example of this actually done well WHILE FEATURING A CANONICALLY QUEER COUPLE was Our Flag Means Death. Stede and Ed had their romance, but there were also complex queer platonic friendships and dynamics between them and the rest of the cast and the cast among themselves. So, OBVIOUSLY, we can have our cake and eat it too here, can't we? CAN'T WE??

Thirdly, it is undeniable to me that there is an element of homophobia to this argument, as whenever the 'what about platonic male friendship' comes up it's usually accompanied by the implication that IF these two male characters were to be romantic and/or sexual with each other that would somehow diminish their bond. There's always an implication that them being platonic and sexless is somehow 'purer' and we should be grateful for it, and anyone who might have seen potential for and/or wanted to see something sexual and/or romantic between them is a weirdo gross pervert, which rounds us back to the very conservative concept that sex/romantic intimacy in general is just ew icky gross, inherently impure, especially (for some reason) when it could happen between queer characters. (Which, as others have pointed out, is a weird stance to try to take for the show that had NO PROBLEM showing Laszlo, Nadja-ghost and his friend he just finished raising like a son having sex with each other as a joke- that's totally fine and hilarious, but heaven forbid Guillermo and Nandor should share a chaste kiss or something)

Anyway, the point of this ramble-rant being, I REALLY wish people on these shows would just say 'We didn't want to do that' when it comes to a potential M/M queer pairing rather than trying to take some kind of moral soap-box stance about the inherent purity of sexless, platonic male friendships (especially when the show in question had opportunity after opportunity to explore that with several different characters). It's not only gaslighting an audience of people who are WELL AWARE of what media has consisted of over the past 100 years, it also comes with the implication that romantic/sexual intimacy between men is always way ickier than the alternative AND that anyone who felt it could have happened or wanted to see it happen is gross and weird. It's rude, it's demeaning and wholly unnecessary. Just say you didn't want to write it and go, thanks!

“Kissing Vampires 101”

Requested by @rthounasty

Word Count: 881 words

Age restriction: 16+ (based on adult media)

Tags: Fluff, a bit of crack, descriptions of kisses, but nothing too sexual

Synopsis: Well, it’s been a good date and it seems like both of you are ready to make a step forward in your relationship.

Author’s note: I’m so sorry this took ages, but I hope you like it •3•

________________________________

You’re not sure what it was. Was it the hot asphalt under the sole of your shoes? Was it the damp, warm July air enveloping you in a figurative hug? Was it the cheap alcohol, that was still in your system? Or was it your hot European date you met through your friend Stu? No matter the reason, you were blushing and feeling giddier than ever. It was your third date with Vladislav and you couldn’t imagine it going any more perfectly.

You two went to a karaoke bar and delivered the worst performance of some random really old songs, that nobody else but you knew. Still, somehow you managed to receive some applause and Vladislav believed it’s due to both of yours undeniable charm and wild charisma. You argued, that he’s the only one with these qualities here, but he disagreed. After that, both of you were already pretty tipsy (though you’re not sure what Vladislav was drinking), so you decided to take a stroll around the night city to the pier and let the alcohol wear off a bit.

The scenery was mesmerising, water reflected the flashing lights of many buildings behind you and the whole setup seemed serene and romantic. It’s been a while since you were on a proper date, much less with someone you were this interested in. And it was the first time in forever, when neither you, nor your partner were fumbling this. You stood there for almost an hour just talking about all kinds of stuff. Past, present, even future. That’s how you found out you’re not the only one, who’s hoping for something serious with this relationship and you felt like jumping victoriously.

But now, the date was over. It was already way too late for both of you to be out on the streets and Vlad gladly walked you home. Though standing here in front of him and looking in his eyes, the last thing you wanted was for this moment to end. It just started getting interesting and you couldn’t imagine just turning to face the door and leave. That’s when a very bold idea popped into your alcohol poisoned brain.

“Vlad, if I’m being honest, this is the best time I’ve had in years.” You said to prolong his stay.

“This is the best time I had in centuries.” He laughed and you joined.

“Do you watch a lot of romcoms?” You got a bit closer.

“What are romcoms?”

“Romantic Comedies, you know? Like a genre of movies. Really cheesy shit, I won’t lie. But I like ‘em sometimes.”

“Maybe you could show me one day. I’m more used to romantic tragedies.” He shrugged.

“Anyways, the point I’m making is… Our date was like the cheesiest of cheesy romcom tropes and if this evening was like, uh, part of a movie… it would end in a kiss scene. Or a confession. But we already confessed before.”

You saw Vladislav’s eyes widen and for a moment you were sure you crossed some kind of a boundary, that shouldn’t have been be crossed. But then he took a step closer too, almost completely eliminating any free space between you. A dumb smile spread on your face, as you anticipated what he was going to say or do next.

“You want me to kiss you?” You nodded. You already learned, that with this man straightforwardness is key. “Okay.”

He leaned in, a bit hesitantly. You didn’t know that, but he hadn’t kissed a human in longer than he could remember. Nonetheless, the space between you completely disappeared, as your lips intertwined, trapping the hot air between you. Each second stretched out the way an eternity would, as both of you salvaged the sweet moment you were hoping to experience for so long now. Vladislav could keep going for way longer, it seemed, but you had to pull away to get air.

Slightly panting, you unconsciously mumbled a “wow” and smiled like a clueless idiot, collecting your thoughts, which were turning into soft mush of incomprehensible happiness. Vlad smiled at the look on your face and gently put his hands on your shoulders.

“Is this what you wanted?” He asked, not letting the two of you drift apart.

You nodded rapidly. “Yes, honestly…” you whispered the last part. “That was awesome.”

He huffed out a quiet laugh, before finally making a few steps back. He looked at the horizon for a second, as if checking for something, then returned his gaze back to you, with his arms on his hips in a rather disappointed manner.

“I’m sorry, [reader]. I have to go.”

“Oh… okay. Can you, uh, give me a call when you’re home? Maybe we could meet up sometime again. There’s this cool bowling club around…” You said, watching how Vladislav kept frantically looking at the horizon.

“Yes, that sounds great. I will defined call you. Goodbye, [reader].” He lent you one more quick peck on the lips, before hurrying away from your house.

You noticed the sky getting slightly brighter, changing from dark blue to a more pastel colour. It was almost sunrise and you didn’t even realise how long your date took. You turned around and finally entered your apartment with deeply buried excitement for your next date with Vladislav.

You seem to me like a fan of vintage anime! What are some of your favorite films and/or shows from before the 2000's, and are there any in particular you'd like to recommend?

ACK! to be fair i'm still only just dipping my toes in so far, but with every intent to become more properly seasoned. i have indeed been having a blast tho with what i've been watching so far from this era!

number one favorite so far and recommendation, tho: Revolutionary Girl Utena

it's constantly lauded and IT IS FOR A REASON!! i do think it's best if you go in as blind as possible, but all in all it's a stellar production with themes on girlhood, and especially what it means to exist under the patriarchy. soulsborne followers who LOVE meta will also enjoy this, surely, because it's absolutely laden with symbolism and almost surrealist imagery. and yeah it's gay. 39 episodes, but it sure was a pleasant long haul

BE AWARE THOUGH. it does also cover some dark topics such as sexual abuse, incest, and pedophilia, etc-- albeit nothing terribly graphic and all handled quite impressively well. any sexual implications are also pretty vague and/or just symbolic. (despite this, it's also got a surprising amount of comedy and fun sides, so it's not an exceedingly heavy watch, either)

another i've seen is dirty pair! nothing too terribly serious here, but i do like it. campy, charlie's angels-esque case-of-the-week OVAs, following two silly 19-year-old "trouble consultants" in space. they're clearly dressed for eye candy, but at the same time nothing too fanservicey at all. fun little romp

birdy the mighty! personal favorite just because ive been madly in love with her for years. there was a later remake (which is how i got here) that had two seasons, but she originated here with the ovas. kind of underrated. sorta campy sci-fi plot about a space agent who accidentally kills a random guy on earth, so he has to share her body while his is getting repaired. i remember the dub sucking assss but maybe a fresh look is what i need now. or maybe just subs

a bunch of ghibli movies also fall into this era, but they probably don't need much introduction. some things like sailor moon, ranma 1/2 and yu yu hakusho also in the same boat. but i've got a few things on my radar otherwise that i plan to get to eventually, too, if these help:

gunsmith cats

magic knight rayearth

angel's egg

vampire hunter d

magnetic rose (!!!)

slayers

record of the lodoss war

shamanic princess

literally like. all of gundam

patlabor

oniisama e

rose of versailles

hell. why not golden boy

Creepy and spooky cartoons of my youth (1)

I want to collect, for this Halloween season, some of the "creepy cartoons" of my youth - animated series aimed at a young audience but still about creepy and spooky stuff, and that I encountered during my childhood or teenagehood. I decided to make it a two-parters, and in this first iteration I want to share cartoons I was not particularly a fan of as a kid, or following faithfully as a teenager, but that I did regularly saw or that marked me at some point, and thus were part of a sort of "general mediatic ambiance".

Starting with one I casually watched from time to time, "Growing Up Creepie". I shared a video about it earlier. The show aired around the time I got back from school on the afternoons one specific year, so usually I got a side-look at it on TV while munching on biscuits:

Another one I casually watched without ever going fully into it, but that was an... interesting watch, was Mona the Vampire. While watching it as an adult is VERY different from watching it as a kid, I was REALLY into the whole concept of "It's just kids playing games and incorporating real-life into their imagination world". Plus I was also very much into the concept of a vampire superhero-protagonist kicking the ass of monsters.

There was "Tales from the Cryptkeeper", which I would not have known the existence of, had I not borrowed a VHS tape of it at the local library when I was a kid:

"Esprit Fantôme". This is a French cartoon that aired VERY regularly on television in my youth. I never actually really watched it... I watched trailers of it, and fragments of episodes from time to time. I know the basic cast. But it never interested me as a kid, and I never completed a full episode ever. However I still intend to get a look at it now, because I wonder what all the fuss was about and why everybody liked it back in the days.

"Petit Vampire". The iconic and famous comic book of Joann Sfar was adapted several times as animation, but I am not speaking of the recent animated movie that came out - I am speaking of the first, animated series that was aired on TV. I only ever caught glimpses of it while switching through the channels, and on very rare occasions. I thought it looked cool and interesting, but I never got info as a kid as to what the show was about or where it came from. I only re-discovered it much later, as I looked into Sfar's work and discovered he had made "Petit Vampire"

"Zombie Hotel". Another one of those European shows. I honestly would not have included it on the list... Had I not been spammed with videos of it when looking at something else on Youtube. I had ENTIRELY forgotten about the existence of this cartoon until a month ago or so, and YET when I saw it I was all "DARN THAT'S THIS SHOW I REMEMBER! I don't know what it is about or who are these people but I KNOW THEM!". I still need to re-watch it to understand what was going on.

"Oggy et les cafards". Okay with this one I am cheating a bit, because it is NOT meant to be a creepy or spooky show. It is not horror for kids, it is not horror comedy, it is meant to be fun, wholesome, cooky, goofy... But if you know this show, you will know it is one of the most famous representatives of the "deranged animations" specific to France, and I never watched this show as a kid - half because I was not interested in it and I thought the style was ugly, but also half because this show creeped me out and disturbed me so much. The strange muteness of characters existing in a town seemingly out of "Vivarium", the laws of architectures and physics bending randomly at every scene as if this was Hell rather than the real world, and the random nonsensical jokes and absurd cameos that made this world feel like... like insanity. It did NOT like it - it was basically David Lynch for kids, or at last it was perceived as such in my young brain X)

I preferred to it "Les Zinzins de l'Espace" (Space Goofs), which worked on the same absurd humor and deranged animation, but that at least conveyed well and in a sympathetic and funny way the goofy caricatures and the comedic intentions - Les Zinzins de l'Espace was a safe show, and one of my favorites ; Oggy and the Cockroaches was like a surrealist painting that left me disturbed if I tried to think for too long about it, because I felt by instinct it would give me nightmares.

Next post will be about my actual FAVORITE creepy cartoons!

[chameleonsallinvermillion]

I can't stop thinking about how insane The Trial must be if you're just a random citizen buying a ticket to a theatrical event. Imagine if you're some sort of local journalist writing up a review for the arts column. How do you even discuss that?

Even better, imagine you're a tourist. Just an innocent tourist, you've got an afternoon free, let's go to a matinee. How do you explain that afterwards to your friend who stayed in the hotel room with a headache? How do you even process that?

You show up to a theatre. Half the audience seems to already know what's going on. They're making a big deal about it being their first ever matinee but you don't really understand why. There's a lot of talking and not a lot of anything happening. Everybody sort of acts like you should already know who the characters on trial are. The make-up and blood effects are disturbingly realistic but for some reason whenever the defendants try to speak, they have this weird fake fit and act like there's mind-readers trying to stop them talking. You don't know what to make of this.

It's all talking and no events. Everyone is excited when one guy shows up and you don't know why. Possibly he's a fan favourite actor or something for the regulars. You can't tell whether the animosity and going-off-script moments from him and the guy playing the judge are part of the play or happening for real.

How do you process the moment with Lestat's brilliant "magic trick" where he reappears at the back of the theatre to argue with an audience member? Only the soldiers themselves know that they're not part of the script but to everyone else, surely that looks like an audience plant. How do you rationalise this break in the action? Sure, you're impressed by the disappearing trick but what does this have to do with anything? Is it a "let he who is without sin" kind of thing?

At no point do you fully understand what the relationship is meant to be between this vampire child they keep talking about and the other woman on trial. You keep expecting some sort of dramatic twist, or for the defendants to speak and the play to head in a new direction, but apparently this isn't that kind of theatre.

There's a moment when you find your mouth moving without you being in control of it. When you find yourself shouting for banishment of that one man without really understanding why you're doing it. What happened there? How do you make sense of that later, looking back on it? Why is there suddenly a comedy beat about Belgium in the middle of this tense dramatic moment? Are you just not cultured enough to get it?

You appreciate the melodrama of the girl threatening to kill you but it's disconcerting how convincing she is. You'll spend the rest of your life wondering how they pulled off that burning-alive effect. You'll never figure it out. Whilst she's burning, the little girl starts singing some sort of song which you, as a non-local, do not recognise. You have absolutely no idea what it's supposed to mean.

And then the play just ends. There's no wrap up, there's no conclusion, there's no scene that gives you some idea of what happened to the other man in Belgium or where we go from here. There's no message. There's just dust on the stage and presumably another version of the costumes the characters were wearing? It's the most impressive magic trick you've ever seen. Are the actors not going to come out and take their bows? Is there no applause? Is this some kind of French arty thing that you don't understand?

Imagine trying to make sense of this play later. Imagine trying to explain it to anybody.

Not sure if you've watched this anime (or might not be into anime in general, that's ok!) but I recently got into a vampire comedy anime called "The Vampire Dies in No Time" and there was one episode that stood out to me and gave me huge Twilight vibes.

basically there's this vampire who's trying to get away from this human who's constantly chasing him (he meant to feed on a different human, but she mistook his advances for flirting and has been obsessed since). The human girl really wants to be a vampire to be together with him forever, which is why she's always going "bite me!" Soon she gets run over by a vehicle as she tries to save him, and because he's touched by her sacrifice he gives in and turns her into a vampire.

Upon breing transformed, the characters remark on how powerful she is and she even makes some comment about how she's now in her "true form", implying she was always meant to be a vampire.

Now, i dont know how popular Twilight is in Japan so it could just be a coincidence, but it's funny how much it parallels Bella's "born to be a vampire" ""character arc"". The human girl in that episode, upon becoming a vampire, even wears a blue dress and heels just like Bella did in BD and I find that a hilarious cojncidence if it is! 😂😂

Not familiar with the anime but thanks for sharing! Does seem to have some Bella vibes. And the blue dress and heels seems almost like a specific reference!

Bella being born to be a vampire and having a super easy time of it was never going to be for me. It's not what I want out of vampire stories. Just not my vibe. And that's fine! God knows there are a million male power fantasies where random dude is the chosen one or a natural at some thing and everyone is wowed by his amazingness. Girls should get in on that action. Bella can be the everygirl turned born to be a vampire heroine. But, as I said, just not for me.

The larger problem, IMO, is that, well, I don't know that Bella the Super Vampire was necessarily the Plan all along. That, again, the way these books were written did them a bit of a disservice. The first book was based on a dream about a girl and a vampire in a meadow where the vampire is talking about how much he loves her but also how much he wants to kill her. That sets the tone. The vampire is tortured by this, it's fraught, it's difficult. I'm here for it. This is the Vibe. This is exactly the kind of thing that gets me about vampire stories. And then after SM wrote Twilight -- for herself, remember! Not initially to be published! -- she wrote "a bunch of epilogues" that included E/B getting married, Renesmee being born, Bella becoming a vampire, because she wasn't ready to let these characters go. And my hunch, as someone who has done some writing and has done the "here is a story, but oh I still like these characters, what might happen next?" and spun off into 'epilogues,' is that the Bella becomes a vampire and is amazing at it only happened then. Because, again, in Twilight she only blocks Edward's power. Alice and Jasper's work on her just fine. I suspect that while writing these epilogues she was like "oh well I guess the only solution is for Bella to become a vampire. What should her power be? Well, Edward can't read her mind! Maybe she's immune to ALL THE POWERS! But, whoops, Alice and Jasper work on her. So maybe I can come up with a work around."

And none of this is "bad" necessarily, it's just that when she went back to write the middle books, she leaned more on the vibes of Twilight (that vampirism was kind of sad and hard and bad; Edward hates that part of himself, Rosalie hates it, Carlisle's unsure if he did the right thing in 'saving' them, Jasper nearly kills her over a paper cut, newborn Bree suffering trying not to eat Bella after the fight, the wolfpack exist to fight vampires because they are bad and dangerous and evil, the burning painful thirst they can never quite satisfy with animal blood, etc) and then after three books go back to the happily ever after epilogue of "actually vampirism is super easy, barely an inconvenience" and it seems less like a fun surprise and more like "well now that my protagonist is a vampire I don't want it to be difficult or painful or sad."

Which is all to say if that's the ending she wanted all along (and I think she did want it pretty early on, but still not until after she wrote the first book), she could have done more to set it up in a way that felt organic vs what we get in Breaking Dawn where even Bella's saying things like "I'm mysteriously good at this" and it flies in the face of the struggles of all the other 'good' vampire characters. I keep coming back to the that the first three books are about 'saving' her from a vampiric existence that becomes meaningless when it's like "actually this is the True Form and she was born to be a vampire all along" in the last one.

SCOGUE-Tember/Tober

Hi!

So, I decided to do a little something-something to motivate myself to create art and/or write. Part of this something-something also happens to involve my favorite X-Men: Evolution ship of all time 😚.

I will simultaneously be posting most of these to my instagram (same name as tumblr name) and maybe other sites.

Basically, I will try to create something about Cyclops/Scott Summers x Rogue/Anna Marie each day of or before the end of the month of September.

Will I succeed? Probably not.

Am I going to try anyway? Yes!

I will try to do these spontaneously, but if any of you are particularly interested in seeing one of these art prompts completed, feel free to send me an ask including the respective prompt!

I also might include personal random head-canon/side personal fan project ideas if I have the time, though those may be mostly reserved to my instagram 😅

Whelp! Ta-ta!

Lucifer x Camila sounds like the only good thing to come out of Hazbin Hotel, I'm rooting for their star cross love. Whats the fic called?

A Divine (Romantic) Comedy by Dystopian_God

Depression is a horrible thing, all consuming and crushing. So when a failed attempt to cheer him up by the Six Sins leads Lucifer Morningstar, lord of the Seven Circles of Hell and Rubber Duck Enthusiast, into a random bar in a random city the last thing he's expecting is to strike up a conversation with someone who understands the pain of lost love.

Naturally, things quickly spiral out of hand as Lucifer, now Lucius Magne, tries to date the lovely Camila Noceda while hiding his true nature, completely unaware that Camila is doing the exact same thing with the true nature of her daughters college... and her other daughters species. Add in some troublesome earth-bound imps, Some troublesome Sins trying to 'help' him, and trying to run an entire dimension sized kingdom and you got a romantic comedy for the ages.

One could almost call it a Divine Comedy.

——

Is so good, Lucifer is such an awkward old man trying his best and somehow his rubber ducks and cringy flirting ends up working on Camila. Meanwhile Luz and Vee are the extremely supportive daughters making sure their mom has the best time of her life while also trying to figure out what the fuck is going on with Lucy, is he a millionaire? A vampire? A millionaire vampire?!?!
