I don’t have ideas right now, so today I give to You a lesson on mythology. My favorite slavic demons: the Vamps

Before Dracula and english vampires existed slavic “vampir”. Those were quite different from modern ones. First they were demons, meaning they lived between worlds of mortals and gods. They were type of demon that was created from human souls after certain death. If animal jumped over a body, they turned into vampir. Alternatively, one could be killed by animal, died of cursed (infected) wounds, was cursed, or a witch during life, or just because body wasn’t burned, nor properly buried.

Vamps being demons hadn’t normal body, but had a form of a shadow, however if they drank blood, they could reform their human appearance. They didn’t drink any blood, but blood of people they were close to, like husband/wife. Probably would persuade them to give blood.

If needed, they could turn into a shadow(dark mist/smoke), or an animal (any or the one that turned them). Hence common origin of vampires and werewolves, tho there were more animal-shape-shifting demons.

All undead demons are afraid of sunlight, fire and iron (mineral that purified in fire instead of burning) and human body of Vampir could be destroyed by those things, but banishing one permanently would require them to be slain by person born from their blood (children), or by staking their heart with a stake made from holy tree.

“As an Asian actress in Hollywood, there are 100 glass ceilings. Every time you break one, there’s another one waiting for you. But I hope I’m helping by portraying characters that are forward-thinking women, and producing and writing roles for women who are in their 40s, roles for women who are underrepresented in this industry. I have no respect for Hollywood’s rules.” - Jessica Henwick photographed by Andre Wagner for NYmag (2017)
