anyone with ample free time that does not devote their life to the active pursuit of knowledge or bettering their craft is a waste of space

I wonder if vampire brains freeze mentally once they're turned

All people have a right to exist and what they do with their time and their energy is their decision.

Of course it is their decision, but they are still capable of making good and bad decisions. If Hitler was an immortal, no doubt he'd be spending his time badly, in my opinion. Better yet and more current, imagine an immortal Trump..

Would vampires be people anymore? I feel like if they have to feast on me, that kinda separates us, but a vampire with human values could easily be considered people if they feed of donated blood, for example, requiring no major changes to current laws. In any case, I would have to think about them in the context.

whilst I agree, I do judge anyone who sits on their hands for a 100 years not wanting to learn more about their existence

... you can't agree and disagree with your point.

whilst I agree (in general), I do (specifically) judge anyone, etc, etc.

e.g. I like seafood in general, but I don't like oysters, you get it

I wonder if vampire brains freeze mentally once they’re turned

"Vampire: The Masquerade" has that as a downside of being a vampire. Vampires are less creative than humans, to the point that being turned into a vampire is said to hurt their talent worse than aging ever could. They also can't properly adapt to new technology. Basically, vampirism comes with creative sterility.

There is a way around it which is basically vampire enlightenment wherein for example they can survive for months off of a drop of blood. Also I think they can reclaim their humanity eventually. Frankly I don't know jack for shit for World of Darkness, I've played Bloodlines (fuck that hotel) and watch Hunter: The Parenting.

(I love that someone wrote an anime vibing off a bunch of Creepy Nuts songs)

Also, to be pedantic, neither of them are strictly vampires - they're something else

[–] zalgotext@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Whoa wait what? I love Creepy Nuts, what's this anime you speak of?
