Phytomancer Posted June 14, 2015 Report Share Posted June 14, 2015 In 'You Suck: The Novel' by Christopher Moore, it is stated that Vampire will have the same hair cut they have when they are turned one. All the wounds are all gone too, and the missing parts will grow back (including foreskin.) Interesting concept to consider.

Artinum Posted June 14, 2015 Report Share Posted June 14, 2015 I feel one could write anything and make up whatever rules fit what you want the story to do. Actually, that's pretty much "Twilight" in a nutshell. What happens when you play Final Fantasy VII with everyone called Cloud?

Tanktimus the Encourager Posted June 14, 2015 Report Share Posted June 14, 2015 That leads to an intriguing question. Vampires are always immaculate (no stubble on the men, perfect make-up on the women, hair always perfect)... but how do they maintain all this? They can't be spending any time in front of a mirror, as they have no reflection...I'm glad I wasn't taking a drink when I read this. This is one of the funniest things I have read in a while. 3 Current Challenge "By the Most-Righteous-and-Blessed Beard of Sir Tanktimus the Encourager!" - Jarl Rurik Harrgath Link to comment
Phytomancer Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 I'm glad I wasn't taking a drink when I read this. This is one of the funniest things I have read in a while. I imagine they 'groom' each other like apes? You know, combing hair, licking blood spatter off each other's faces. Adjust crooked ties, and the like. Sometimes, certain vampires are dressed in funky styles, because their friends are assholes. They just look so pretty the mortals follow the fashion. I feel one could write anything and make up whatever rules fit what you want the story to do. Actually, that's pretty much "Twilight" in a nutshell. I think so. 'Vampire' is such a board term used in many Western literature. They have one thing in common, though. They suck. 2 Phytomancer and The Way of The South East Level: 8 STR 15 | DEX 6 | STA 9 | CON 9 | WIS 9 | CHA 7 Level 1: Evil Minion Training | Level 2: Spy of the Seven Kingdoms Level 3: Shrines of Viruna | Level 4: Impending Storm | Level 5: Respawns | Level 6: Green Villains Level7: Returns to Battle Spoiler Pushup: 11.2% 11.2% Green: 11.2% 11.2% Sweets: 11% 11% Link to comment
Artinum Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 are you implying that twilight had a story? It's not much of one. Girl with no personality of her own fantasises about being swept off her feet by a dangerous (but not TOO dangerous) man, who looks absolutely gorgeous and will do anything for her. The success of the book is partly because the female lead has no personality - she's an empty shell that teenage girls (and, I'm sorry to say, some older women) can step into, so they can be ravished by vampires and werewolves and live secret, exciting lives. So much easier than actually making your life exciting yourself! I suspect "50 Shades of Aaargh" is the S&M version for grown-ups. But after hearing Charles Dance read an extract from it, I can't see me ever managing more than a page with a straight face. It's a spoof, right? 2 What happens when you play Final Fantasy VII with everyone called Cloud? It gets quite confusing... https://ff7crowdofclouds.wordpress.com/ Link to comment

Frost of the Gloaming Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 life man life Take public transportation or better yet people watch in a crowded area, you will see no one talking to each other, staring at their phones or other brainless devices (Netflix is a portable TV), People have been given the ability to escape from each other, and everyday we are given more and more to distract us with, who is leading and what are they leading us to? 2 Between a rock and a hard place, use our finger nails to climb, it's all we know..........

Tanktimus the Encourager Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 No one is leading. People out to make money sell devices that people buy, people buy devices to have something to do. If I recall correctly, before the cell phone era, even in big crowds people weren't always interacting with each other. People didn't generally strike up conversations on buses and such. Now they have something to look at while they are ignoring everyone else. Now for the good news. We are the rebellion after all. Be different. If everyone is glued to their phones, imagine how further ahead you are by simply being different. You are in a position to impact the world simply because you are independent of the technology that keeps everyone else tethered to their screen. What kind of an impact do you want to make? 2 Current Challenge "By the Most-Righteous-and-Blessed Beard of Sir Tanktimus the Encourager!" - Jarl Rurik Harrgath Link to comment

He commented on the train that everyone was on their phone ignoring one another, but 50 years ago it was the same thing - just with newspapers. In the mean time, I want people to bugger off in public, so avoiding them (or appearing as if I am avoiding them) suits me just fine.

feanor Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 Acording to Interview with a Vampire you will always look the way you locked like as you turned into a vampire. If you had very long curly hair, you can get a buzz cut but 3 minutes later it will look like before. Same goes with the age, you get turned as a child you will always stay in a childs body. Due to just being busy, my beard tends to get a little bushy before I get around to trimming it up properly. It would be a real bummer to be turned into a vampire before I was able to clean up and end up looking like an Amish farmer, or a Linux user. 2 Link to comment

Hit Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 if we are honest we know that it is still possible to make a scary vampire movie, with vampires as monsters of the night let the right one in is the movie you are looking for. Vampires used to be terrifying I kinda disagree, i mean yeh they were scary but they were also supposed to be incredibly seductive. a lot of the mythos is built around sexual fears; of deviancy and perversion, and i think that idea is the one that has been modernised most strongly. vampires represent corruption of a persons will (as opposed to their body with zombies or their soul with ghouls). Even in twilight we can see this happening, as bella is irrevocably drawn to becoming a vampire herself. i maybe, just a little bit, enjoyed the twilight franchise. It's the moose on the inside that counts. Link to comment

Lots of gasps when one of the male vamps (patriarch?) got de-capitated, then the whole seeing the future twist that I thought was kinda cool simply because the whole scene messed with peoples heads.
