Vampire

A vampire is a mythical being who subsists by feeding on the life essence (generally in the form of blood) of living creatures. In folkloric tales, undead vampires often visited loved ones and caused mischief or deaths in the neighbourhoods they inhabited when they were alive. They wore shrouds and were often described as bloated and of ruddy or dark countenance, markedly different from today’s gaunt, pale vampire which dates from the early 1800s. Although vampiric entities have been recorded in most cultures, the term vampire was not popularised until the early 18th century, after an influx of vampire superstition into Western Europe from areas where vampire legends were frequent, such as the Balkans and Eastern Europe, although local variants were also known by different names, such as vrykolakas in Greece (my post 1/ 2) and strigoi in Romania. This increased level of vampire superstition in Europe led to what can only be called mass hysteria and in some cases resulted in corpses actually being staked and people being accused of vampirism. In modern times, however, the vampire is generally held to be a fictitious entity, although belief in similar vampiric creatures such as the chupacabra still persists in some cultures. 

Early folkloric belief in vampires has been ascribed to the ignorance of the body’s process of decomposition after death and how people in pre-industrial societies tried to rationalise this, creating the figure of the vampire to explain the mysteries of death. Porphyria ( derived from the Greek πορφύρα, porphyra, meaning “purple pigment”. ) was also linked with legends of vampirism in 1985 and received much media exposure, but has since been largely discredited. The charismatic and sophisticated vampire of modern fiction was born in 1819 with the publication of The Vampyre by John Polidori; the story was highly successful and arguably the most influential vampire work of the early 19th century. However, it is Bram Stoker’s 1897 novel Dracula which is remembered as the quintessential vampire novel and provided the basis of the modern vampire legend. The success of this book spawned a distinctive vampire genre, still popular in the 21st century, with books, films, and television shows. The vampire has since become a dominant figure in the horror genre.

What if someone got bitten by a vampire, but didn’t realize it. So then they go around and keep misidentifying all the symptoms, like

“Dude, you haven’t gone outside in a while.” “Yeah, last time I went out I got this wicked sunburn.”

“Are you still up?” “Yeah, I started bing watching this show on Netflix.”

“Dude, I’m seriously craving something right now.” “Like what?” “I dunno. Pizza rolls?”

Types of fruit ranked by how much they piss off a vampire

Apple: Symbol or original sin, kinda pretty, especially the red ones. They’re digging it for the aesthetic. Not particularly rage inducing. 0/10

Grapes: Obligatory prop in any luxurious and luscious setting. Fun to make them go “splat”. Kind of annoying they can’t eat them. 2/10

Banana: What are they supposed to do with this? Is this some sort of joke? Get it out of their face. 4/10

Pomegranate: So. Frustrating. They’re so beautiful! And they look like they’re supposed to be filled with blood. This is bullshit. Why can’t they eat this! 8/10

Durian: Smells like delicious, delicious rotting meat and yet cannot be eaten. This is so fucking unfair. Are you doing this on purpose?? This isn’t fun anymore. 9/10

Blood Orange: You’ve got to be fucking kidding. Piss off. 10/10
