At least they're happy to give up the desk by the window.
You would have two nickel. Which isn't a lot, but since vampire doesn't exists so i want my nickel back
I'm offended that this is how you remind me
Before John Polidori—Lord Byron's doctor—wrote The Vampyre (incidentally, it began at the same retreat where Mary Shelly conceived of Frankenstein), the idea of vampires as nobles who can pass among humans basically didn't exist. They were more akin to zombies or werewolves, prior to that. Polidori's Lord Ruthven was a British nobleman based in no small part on Lord Byron. Then a few decades later you get Carmilla, another upper class vampire, this time female. And then just a couple of decades after that, on the cusp of the 20th century, Bram Stoker writes Dracula, the first time we get a vampire who is not just noble but royal, and we get the full furnishings we associate with vampires today. The foreign accent, the castle, the wine (though interestingly, the wine Dracula serves is actually a white wine, not the blood-red we usually think of).
Also fun note: this Saturday marks the start date of Dracula. Over in !vampires@lemmy.zip I'm planning a read-through in real-time, if anyone wants to join me.
There’s also “Dracula Daily” which starts at the same time and is a great way to micro-dose the novel.

Everyone knows that vampires live in a detached single family home on Staten Island.

What was that post I kept seeing about vampires? If you've been living for centuries and you're still broke just walk into the sunlight.

Here again, cropped for convenience.
What is the vampire opinion on the current state of tariffs, and global warming, and do they agree with evangelicals?
At this point in time the vampire community refuse to make any political statement. Meanwhile they find global warming rather concerning, what with the sun being stronger now. Evangelical blood is highly prized within the community.
