Oh it gets better, not far from there, maybe down the street is a pretty haunted hotel!

Introducing, the Mizpah Hotel! Where coincidentally some of the miners from the same company as those buried in the graveyard attempted a robbery by digging into the hotel's basement bank vault through the floor! Advertising directly on the website as haunted they say "The Mizpah Hotel where history meets luxury, voted the #1 haunted hotel in America by USA today 10 best readers' choice awards." There are many ghost stories surrounding this hotel but one of the more popular is the lady in red!

Alright was no one going to tell me that in the middle of the Nevada desert is an old cemetery that contains the bodies of a bunch of miners who died in a fire and next door is a haunted clown motel

Why are we still setting horror movies in generic Victorian houses in the woods when this is a real place in the world

Just thinking about vampires and how they wouldn't be able to see their reflections for a long time because mirrors used to made of silver, but one day they just walk by a mirror that- isn't silver? They would suddenly see themself, for possibly the first time in ever if they weren't turned but just kinda always existed as a vampire. I mean sure maybe someone painted them at some point but, they can really see themselves now. Look Its late, Im tired I just- I just think that this. this is all.

Ok well, after research it doesn't hold up as well because actually silvering wasnt a thing till after the 1800's so assuming that vampires could obviously be older than that, older vampires would have maybe had mirrors which wouldn't have been made of silver but instead something like bronze- (bronze abt 2000 BCE) Or even more worry some than not seeing your reflection, maybe, 16th century mercury mirrors! which would have been like, then to the 1800's. So really, only vampires after the 1800's would probably not know what they look like till- cameras? hold on now I gotta look up camera history and the cameras use of silver-

Ok but before I google the cameras its important to note that the modern-day mirror process can involve silvering however it could also be a aluminum coating (first used for telescope mirrors in 1930 from my brief research) so only certain mirrors would show a vampires reflection in a modern mirror so vampires in the modern day could see their reflections with the right mirror.

Ok so now, cameras! ...which is less reflections, but still interesting in theory as a lot of popular media often portrays vampires as unable to appear in photos.

The first camera was invented in 1816 by French inventor Nicephore Niepce. His simple camera used paper coated with silver chloride. And upon a brief google search did in-fact tell me that silver chloride could be converted back to silver (and chlorine) through a heating process so in all technicality the first camera would have used silver in such a way that, in theory, vampires wouldn't show up in the pictures. However, what about other cameras? Modern digital ones? Cell phone cameras?

It seems like most film cameras still use silver or at least cannon film cameras, "Camera film uses silver halides (such as silver chloride, bromide or iodide) as the materials exposed to light."

While looking the bit on film cameras up, also came to the realization that some x-ray's may use silver which is whole other set of problems if a vampire were to need an x-ray! Historically all radiographic film media employed silver salts as part of the image-producing process. Although the vast majority of radiology departments in the developed world are now filmless there is still a very large amount of traditional x-ray film in film libraries and storage.

Digital cameras and photography time! Digital cameras are full of printed circuit boards that contain gold, silver, and also base metals like aluminum and copper. Although LCD display screens do not contain precious metals, the contact points along their edges can contain gold and silver. However, when you press the button to take a photograph with a digital camera, an aperture opens at the front of the camera and light streams in through the lens. So far, it's just the same as a film camera. From this point on, however, everything is different. There is no film in a digital camera. Instead, there is a piece of electronic equipment that captures the incoming light rays and turns them into electrical signals. This light detector is one of two types, either a charge-coupled device (CCD) or a CMOS image sensor. Both CMOS and CCD imagers are constructed from silicon.

So, tldr for the digital camera: the image itself isn't put onto anything made of silver so, by previous reasoning vampires would be able to have digital pictures of them taken!

Look, Im so tired. It is 1am in my little corner of the planet and Im just rambling at this point.

Woah! A pinned post! So much info!

Hey! My name is Zen and I’m a nonbinary streamer who uses They/Them pronouns and does the occasional art! You can see me stream over on twitch at https://www.twitch.tv/zenkorecords! I have a twitter which is also @ZenkoRecords! If you need something probably a good idea to DM me on twitter as, I check the bird app more-  However feel free to DM me here too! Or on both if you want, just don’t spam :) To find my random musings on the hell site I use the tag #zenscreamsintothevoid for that and any art I may post in the future will be under a different blog most likely, but that hasn’t happened yet if you are reading this!

So, I am infact new to this hellsite and today I learned that the ONLY way people get exposure here is reblogs and I- Simply didn't know this, no one told me this! So I just spent about 15 minutes reblogging pretty much anything I've liked since my arrival here!

FUCKING FOOND IT BUT TOO LONG FOR NOTES!

I THINK ITS CALLED MOON PHASE! AND LIKE I SAID SOME SHIT IS A BIT OFF BUT ITS SO FUCKING CLOSE TO WHAT YOU SAID MAN-

a bit of a long summary below the cut lmao just wanted this to be easier to scroll by-

Kouhei Morioka is a freelance photographer traveling to a castle in Germany to take photos of mysterious activity for his best friend Hiromi Anzai, editor of an occult magazine. But when he enters the castle, he comes across a young girl with cat ears in a white dress, who calls herself Hazuki. She seems extremely interested in him, but when she gives him a kiss, she reveals herself to be a vampire, sucks his blood, and turns him into her eternal slave.

However, Kouhei is unaffected by the bite, and Hazuki is frustrated. Hoping to still escape her castle and her possessive butler Vigo, (butler shoots light balls/energy balls maybe?) Hazuki has Kouhei help her. With the assistance of his exorcist cousin Seji Midou, they escape unharmed. Once Hazuki is free, she leaves for Japan in search of her mother.

Things seem to be back to normal when Kouhei arrives home. That is, until he finds Hazuki stuck in his home, and he allows her to stay for some time. At the same time, other vampires are searching for Hazuki, and Kouhei is suddenly caught up in a supernatural adventure.

Hello everyone I’ve got a dilemma, I NEED to find this one, incredibly specific, anime because it’s been bothering me for about 8 years and I’m sick of it and tumblr I know that this is the most likely place to find someone who knows this very niche anime about yesterday.

Ok, so the show starts with this boy who is in a family of monster hunters who can see spirits and stuff but he can’t. There’s this magic castle that the rest of the family can’t go into because they can see the spirits or something and they keep them out but that can’t keep boy out cause he can’t sense them, and the reason this family needs to go into the castle is because theres this vampire girl who looks about maybe 11-12 but she’s thousands of years old and I think they wanna kill her but I’m not sure.

Anyway so boy meets vamp girl and she bits him much to sexually for her body look and they boy doesn’t know she’s a vampire yet so he’s incredibly uncomfortable and once she bites him she insists hes her slave but he isnt technically becuse he has his whole no magic thing.

Then theres this weird orb thing that that makes this girl not die in the sun but also ties her to the castle so she can’t leave and she orders boy to break the orb so she can leave so he does but he isn’t compelled to he just feels bad for her I think, and then he‘s knocked out.

He walked up at home thinking it was all a dream but vamp girl is sitting at the table when he leaves his room and boys grandpa takes vampire girls side and says boy has to be her slave now so that’s nice.

Yeah so that’s all I can remember of the plot of episode one. Have a nice day.
