Birthdays were always hard for Enid Sinclair.

Around the age of seven they stopped being days about celebrating her, and became an entire day full of ridicule and insults.

Why had she not wolfed out yet? her eldest brother had done it when he was 5.

It only got worse as she got older.

They never made it a point to talk about her while she wasn’t in the room.

She always heard it.

Maybe that’s why she always tried her hardest to give her friends good birthdays.

Why she threw a party that she honestly should have known that Wednesday wouldn’t have liked.

She wasn’t really all that mad at Wednesday, as much as she was realizing that nobody in her life loved her like she loved them. Wednesday couldn’t even act interested, her family couldn’t ever act like they cared about her past her ability to turn into a ‘real’ werewolf.

Enid tried and tried and tried, her entire life she fought to be worthy of love.

Wasn’t this proof? All over again, that no matter how hard she tried it wouldn’t matter?

No

It wasn’t

It didn’t take long for Enid and Wednesday to learn each other. it didn’t take long for them to start seeing what each other needed.

Now Enid wakes up on her birthday in a small house she and her girlfriend had turned into a home together. There is a pretty girl sitting next to her in bed, and a tray of all her favorite breakfast food’s in said girl’s hands.

“Happy birthday, mon amour” Wednesday says softly, before pressing her lips to Enid’s forehead.

They have breakfast in bed, and Enid can tell that Wednesday made the muffins from scratch by the hint of cinnamon that the goth girl claims tastes like cyanide.

Enid braid’s Wednesday’s hair, Wednesday helps Enid with her lipstick. They end up getting it everywhere. Wednesday has to wash her face a third time.

Wednesday takes her shopping, a true feat for the girl who hates color and other people. She only complains twice. She buys Enid everything she wants. It’s the only time a year that Enid lets her get away with that.

They have lunch at the mall food court, not without Wednesday’s insistence that Enid deserves more than gross mall food.

They have an early dinner at a fancy restaurant, one Enid had been talking about trying for months now.

They arrive home to a full house. Banners hung on walls and pastel balloons covering the floor. Friends and family jump out from behind walls and furniture to shout surprise, but they’ve done this for the past five years, it’s not much of a surprise anymore. That doesn’t make it any less sweet.

Enid squeezes Wednesday’s hand, a thank you. As the rest of the Addamses, who had loved Enid from the moment they met her, pull her into bone crushing hugs.

Her friends are next, Yoko ruffling her hair and Divina fixing it for her. Bianca kisses her cheek and Eugene holds her nearly as tight as the Addamses had. She and Ajax preform their ‘secret’ handshake and Enid feels celebrated.

She has it now. Everything that she has ever wanted.

A family.

I guess my deepest disagreement with thoschei interpretations at large is the general viewing of the Master as the "responding" party, the reflection and result of the Doctor, which, just to be clear, on the media level is correct, the protagonist was conceived of before the antagonist, but when it comes to deeper readings, I just can't see it this way.

Like, no, when you think about it, the Doctor's the one who defines themself in opposition to the Master, not the other way round, just as the idea for tampering-proof seals on medication didn't arrive from divine revelation only from some jerk thinking it's a good idea to put cyanide in painkillers. To realise a fuckup you first need to perceive a fuckup while anti-fuckups usually go unnoticed as things going just fine. The Master, whatever their motives are, is the aggressively active party, the Doctor the reactive one. The one time they tried to take up ubermenschian agency it was when they assumed the Master's gone for good and then reflected on what they'd be, without them.

You know, kind of how in chess symbolism whites are usually "the good guys" until you remember blacks are on the defensive position. Only like, in reverse.

5, 6, 8, 11 for that fic rec ask game...

the ask is referring to this ask game

5- Recommend a gen fic (no pairings): this is the perfect chance for me to mention @saintsenara 's Sparkling Cyanide, which explores the inner lives and motivations of house elves like the books should've.

6- Recommend a fic that does something cool with format or structure (epistolary, social media, 5 things, non-linear, etc.): Per my last letter (I hope you choke on it) by @fluxweed and lastontheboat is a lovely take on the epistolary genre, highly recommend.

8- Recommend a fic with an interesting premise/concept: Now I Wake Up In The Night and Watch You Breathe by @hoko-onchi-writes is a rare dead dove fic with a happy ending; forget Killing Stalking, you and your serial killer boyfriend can be happy together and this is proof.

11- Recommend a fic you think is a hidden gem/deserves more reads: The Discreet Gentleman's Connection by pluto (gayrights420) and Trials and Revelations by KaiIsTyping are two vastly different fics that deserve huge amounts of love, one is a mistaken identity, comedy of errors type and the other is action packed and suspenseful; 10/10 both.

At first glance, many would consider Philipp Bouhler an attractive man. Yet, look at him again. The cruel set of his mouth. Eyes that reflect nothing back, save for hate.

And hateful he was.

German senior Nazi Party functionary who was both a Reichsleiter (National Leader) and Chief of the Chancellery of the Führer of the NSDAP.

He was also the SS official responsible for the Aktion T4 euthanasia program that killed more than 250,000 disabled adults and children in Nazi Germany, as well as co-initiator of Aktion 14f13, also called Sonderbehandlung ('special treatment'), that killed 15,000–20,000 concentration camp prisoners.

Various methods of killing were tried out. The first killing facility was Schloss Hartheim in Upper Austria. Additional euthanasia facilities were established at Bernburg, Grafeneck, Brandenburg, Sonnenstein, and Hadamar between 1940 and 1941,[30] where approximately 70,000 people were murdered in gas chambers using carbon-monoxide. The knowledge gained from the euthanasia program was later applied to the industrialized annihilation of other groups of people, especially the Jews.

Yet, once again, proof that he knew what he was doing was wrong. And proof of a cowardice that ran deep.

Bouhler and his wife, Helene, were arrested by American troops at Schloss Fischhorn in Bruck near Zell-am-See on 10 May 1945. Helene jumped to her death from a window at Schloss Fischhorn. On 19 May, Bouhler killed himself using a cyanide capsule while in the US internment camp at Zell-am-See. The couple had no children, thankfully.

Tony wiped tears from his eyes and used his other hand to rest on Peter’s shoulder, “This is Peter Parker, also known as Spider-man.” There was a long silence before their eyes popped in realization and they yelled in unison, “What?!”

Summary: “I never thought you’d be the fathering type.” Natasha’s smirk is wicked and amusing. Steve probably would have laughed if he weren’t so disoriented right now.

Tony shrugged, lifting his coffee cup up like a toast. “Yeah, well, I never thought we’d ever be able to sit in the same room without trying to kill each other again. Things change, Nat.”

All of Steve’s thoughts come squealing to a record-scratch stop as Natasha’s words catch up to him. The fathering type, she’d said. Fathering? And Tony hadn’t denied it. Not even a little bit. “Wait a minute. Was that… your… son?”

Peter Parker Meets The Avengers (ao3) - arabellagaleotti G, 9k

Summary: “Hey Mister Stark, so I’ve got some homework and I was hop-” I cut off abruptly. Sitting in the middle of the polished granite kitchen of Tony Stark is the runaway Avengers. Steve Rogers, Natasha Romanoff, Bucky Barnes, Clint Barton, and Sam Wilson. Strewn about, they look familiar with the space, but still slightly unused to it. I suppose months away does that. “You’re not Mister Stark?” I say, slightly awe-struck.

“No. We’re not.” Natasha says dryly, eyeing me up and down from her place perched on top of the counter.

OR,

Peter meets the Avengers, and they all love him, because how can you not?

Promises of Tommorrow (ao3) - PinkEasterEggs G, 5k

Summary: Posters of Star Wars were dotted around and there were multiple LEGO sets littered on the floor. Clothes were left lying around, some thrown on the back of the chair and some on the carpet. There was a collection of paper and books on the wooden desk, each large volume for a different school subject.

All in all, Steve would’ve said that the room belonged to a kid. The obvious youth that dominated the area confused Steve as he walked into the room further.

A loud blaring sound echoed into Steve’s ear, FRIDAY’s dominating voice cutting into the air. “You are not permitted to enter this room Captain Rogers.”

Steve jumped out of the room like the floor was on fire, his confusion only growing. “Whose room is that FRIDAY?”

“Boss has not permitted me to answer that question.”

Was Tony hiding a secret kid?

-

The Rogue Avengers have been pardoned, returning home for the first time after a year and a half on the run. Steve expects for things to be the same as how he left but it seems that everything has changed. Apparently Tony now had a kid.

Sharing Is Caring (ao3) - mouth_breather011 G, 3k

Summary: "I know your little fanboy brain would melt if I told you the Avengers are right around the corner."

"The—I'm sorry, what?" Peter deadpanned, staring at the billionaire. "T-the Avengers? As in, as in like, Captain America and—and the Black Widow?"

"Is that enough of an answer for you?" Tony asked as they turned the corner into the kitchen. The Rogues were still standing there as he'd asked, staring as though they'd seen a ghost. Peter gaped, arms tightening slightly around the man's neck. Clint waved shyly.

"Mr. Stark, Hawkeye just waved at me," Peter whispered.

-

Or the Avengers are back in the Tower, but Tony isn't very happy about it. Peter happens to come over the day they come back, and Tony is a little jealous when the boy becomes friends with the Avengers.

The Philippines' fisheries bureau said China is trying to "intentionally destroy" the Scarborough Shoal.

The fish-rich atoll is hotly contested by China, but internationally recognized as Manila's.

The bureau on Saturday accused Chinese vessels of pumping cyanide into the shoal's waters.

The Philippines' fishing bureau has accused Chinese fishing vessels of using cyanide to destroy the Scarborough Shoal, a fish-rich atoll in the South China Sea contested by both Manila and Beijing.

"These Chinese fishermen use cyanide," Nazario Briguera, a spokesperson for the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources, said on Saturday, per a translation from Filipino by The Philippine Star.

Cyanide fishing is a controversial fishing method that typically involves dumping the highly toxic chemical near coral reefs or in fishing grounds to stun or kill fish so they can be easily captured.

It is widely condemned because it indiscriminately affects most marine species in the area, causes severe damage to aquatic ecosystems, and can make fish harmful to handle or eat.

But Brigeura accused the Chinese fishermen of using cyanide to also "intentionally destroy Bajo de Masinloc to prevent Filipino fishing boats to fish in the area," per The Philippine Star. Bajo de Masinloc is the Spanish name for the Scarborough Shoal.

The spokesperson estimated that the alleged use of cyanide would result in around $17,850,000 in damages to the region, per the outlet.

The bureau said it has not conducted a formal study of the total damage, but called it a "serious concern," The Philippine Star reported.

"We will see clearer, and we will have proof or evidence that this is really being done by Chinese fishermen and, apparently, other foreign fishers," Briguera said, per Philippine outlet GMA News.

However, the Philippine Coast Guard on Sunday said it hadn't found any evidence of Chinese fishermen using cyanide and could not confirm the fisheries bureau's accusation.

"We don't have any scientific study or any evidence that would suggest that cyanide fishing in Bajo de Masinloc can be attributed to the Chinese or the Vietnamese fishermen," coast guard spokesperson spokesperson Commodore Jay Tarriela said, per GMA News.

Notably, the Philippines' fishing industry was known to use cyanide fishing back in the 1960s to capture live fish for aquariums and restaurants, though the practice has become less common. In 2023, a study from the Cebu-based Coastal Conservation and Education Foundation found that some Filipino fishermen still use cyanide in the South China Sea.

In response to the accusations, the Chinese state-linked tabloid The Global Times wrote that the Philippines had "groundlessly smeared" China over its cyanide claims. The outlet is known for sticking closely to Beijing's viewpoints.

🎞️ for a glimpse into my ocs past

For Silas!

(So you can send asks to yourself...)

*wheeze* I could've just made this a whole fic but I think it worked better for the prompt. Thanks for the anon, me!/j. Anyways *ahem* here take this quick fic of Silas being put through the ringer after Finn was born

🎞️ for a glimpse into my ocs past

Silas was in a lot of pain. Well, he was always in a lot of pain because of that damn harpoon, but this was a new pain. A different one.

There was a horrid cramping at the pit of his stomach, a stabbing pan that gave him the urge to curl into a ball and die. It hurt so much.

He was told it the pain would stop once everything was over, but doctors loved to spout nonsense, so he was unsurprised to find that it was just word fluff to get him to stay still.

Silas was sitting in the NICU, staring at an incubator. He was told he needed to lie down and rest to recover, but he ignored the nagging annoyances trying to tell him what to do. He would heal in his own time. For now, his focus was on something much more important.

The only piece of his life that he had left, his only reason for staying alive right now, lay hooked up to a ventilator and a feeding tube, so very still.

Finn. His son. His baby.

Through his translucent skin, Silas could see his heart beating steadily. The heart monitor was there too, but it didn't comfort him as much as seeing the real thing.

Silas couldn't stop thinking about what happened mere hours ago, the terror that filled his heart when he realised that Finn wasn't breathing.

"No," He had rasped out, trying to grab him from a doctor. "No no no no, he can't die, he can't die, please, please, give him to me, that's my-"

Finn didn't die. But all those tubes and the way he lay so quiet and still made Silas feel sick and guilty.

"This is your fault." Said a voice in the back of his head. "He's suffering because of you."

Silas tried to ignore it just as he tried to ignore the all too familiar feeling of grief causing pains in his chest. He tried not to think about everything that had happened barely a week before. His life had been torn to shreds. The proof of his failures had been permanently etched onto his skin. There was nothing left but his only living child that couldn't even breathe on his own.

The nurses would check on Finn and make sure the palm-sized, wrinkly little shark pup was doing alright. Every time Silas had to take in a slow breath through his gills and dig his claws into his skin to resist the urge to chase them off, kill them maybe, for getting so close.

"Don't worry, everything's going to be fine." He was told. "We're keeping a close eye on him."

All Silas could think about was his grandfather and his death in this same hospital.

"Liar," He wanted to scream at them, just as he had all those years ago. "Liar liar liar-"

But he stayed quiet and stared at the nurses, his eyes burning with distrust and hatred.

The anger and grief and guilt were all-consuming, swirling together to form a pit Silas felt he couldn't escape from. All he could do was stew in it all and obsessively watch over his son.

His tail and lower back were aching from sitting in the same position for so long, but he didn't care. As long as he could ensure Finn's safety, all was well.

Silas was finally allowed to touch Finn through the openings in the incubator.

He gently traced Finn's skin and murmured softly, letting out a gasp of amazement and relief when he saw Finn curl his hand around his claw. Finn cooed softly, and Silas repeated the noise back at him, clicking his teeth.

Something warm broke through the anguish. For the first time in days, Silas smiled.

"Hello, little one."

-End

Man I make this poor man suffer too much

This fuckandreastella I'm telling you guys.

She's actually a mental patient. Somebody help her. Give her the cyanide pills she rightfully deserves she might just have a heart attack with all that anger she's pouring on @fuckyourchampionship and other blogs whose only crime was calling out Lando Norris for the truly disgusting and moronic fucking way he is and how his cult of followers act like MAGA on steroids who would die to protect him from even the smallest speck of criticism. This blog, I've seen how she defends Oscar and with proof to back it up, it's just astounding to me that this fuckandreastella bitch would go to the ends of the Earth to hate on anyone who criticizes her beloved dictatorial-like sex offender of a driver.

Don't @ me and message me saying "Piastri supporter." Yes, I am an Oscar Piastri supporter because he deserves it, and he's a good driver. And YES I DO NOT BUY THE LANDOSCAR train because it's fake. So long as Lando doesn't change his attitude and so long as his fans act like fucking cultists on a drug run, you can suck it and I'll be here with my popcorn watching you fucks self-destruct in anger while I'm chillin' here.

Polish scientist watches Orb: Episode 3

Lots of unexpected twists in this episode. So my commentary this time shall be less history of science edutainment and more of me reacting to the actual plot.

So it turns out Potocki was hiding something. And it's a lot. I'm surprised he's even allowed to be a teacher. But he is really good at acting innocent. And apparently he was Hubert's teacher too? Hubert looks so much older. I mean, it's not impossible for a student to be older than their teacher, buuut… it's the torture, isn't it?

I can't believe he turned Rafał in so easily. Coward. Nowak even told him he had no proof. So how could he prove that he knows? When he didn't even know a couple of hours ago? Come on! I expected the kid to get caught sooner or later, but this is… well… sooner.

By the way, nothingness sounds better to me than burning in hell for all of eternity, so, yeah, no, the worst thing about being burned alive is still the pain.

Sooo… let the mind games begin, I guess?

"The most important choice you make in life is what to give up"

Damn, he's not wrong. Even if the choices you're forced to make aren't this dramatic, you still have to choose one thing over another sometimes. And then you are giving up that other thing. Something to think about when you have to make a difficult choice.

"I know ancient philosophy, and I'm not afraid to use it" - He didn't say it, but he might as well have. Not a bad weapon in a battle of wits. But, inspiration? Who are you trying to inspire? The inquisitor?

Huh?

I guess he did come here late in the evening, when he usually wants to go home early. I guess this isn't boring to him. I guess that's something?

Okay, kid, you're crazy, but it's an impressive kind of crazy. You even made the inquisitor sweat. It's generally his job to make other people sweat (and, in some cases, bleed).

Oh shit, did he actually die?

Wait, where did the poppy flavored cyanide pill come from?

Well, it looks like he did inspire someone after all. How did this guy get his hands on the necklace, I don't know, but he has it, and he has found the notes. And I've seen fanart of this guy. More than of Rafał. Is it because he's the actual main character, or is he also going to die in 3 episodes, but he's just more popluar?

So I guess we've established that in this show even main characters' life is cheap. Or rather that the truth is even more valuable than that.

And I guess it could be interesting to just move on to a different protagonist every couple of episodes, especially if we're keeping the same antagonists. It's not something you see often. It could make for a good story, even if it means characters keep dying just as you were starting to like them.

So I guess the question for this episode is: Is the truth worth dying for? And I guess the show's answer is yes. Although, Rafał was young. He had a whole life ahead of him and a brilliant idea. Destroying his notes would have slowed him down, of course, but an idea this big isn't something you forget just because you don't have it written down. I think he could have recreated it. If he'd made a different choice. So, like, maybe consider other options, before you decide to become a martyr?

Another important thought is INSPIRATION. And just how futile it is to try to suppress a scientific discovery once someone has made it. If something has been proved, it can and probably will be proved again.

SPOOKY FRUIT

What else could I expect from the users of this website, especially considering it is currently Halloween season? Well, since you insist, here are the top three 'spooky fruit', Anon.

3. Cherries

Despite being a beloved fruit worldwide, cherries are quite dangerous. Most people take out cherry pits without paying it much attention, even though those tiny objects contain 1-6 mg of amygdalin (which our body converts to cyanide) per gram on average, and some cherry varieties have up to 65 mg/g of amygdalin.

2. Pinapples

Pineapples, though, are active predators. Be mindful of the fact that those fruits contain the en­zyme brome­lain while eating them, as they are dissolving the protein in your body in the meantime, slowly consuming you.

1. Tomatoes

People have been arguing whether a tomato is a fruit or a vegetable for centuries, yet to no avail. Even though this issue had been long figured out by science, it did not stop those involved in the conflict from aggressively looking for proof of their standpoint being the only correct one. Tomatoes are a true semantic nightmare.

Part 2 sort of thing for my Bully/Canis Canem Edit x Battle Royale crossover: Assigned Weapons/Objects.

In the novel, Battle Royale, each student is assigned a duffel bag with a weapon/object in it along with a map, compass, a watch to track time, bottled water, and food. Most of the weapons are what you'd expect, like guns and knives, (Though guns aren't as common as bladed weapons.) but occasionally a student might get unlucky and end up with a joke item that might be utterly useless or have really only one use. Then there are the helpful items that aren't weapons, like a student who is given a tracking device that's wired to the explosive collars worn by everyone in the program and another who is given a bulletproof vest.

With that blurb out of the way, here's some of the weapons/objects that I'd think the students of Bullworth Academy (plus the Townies) would end up with.

Gonna just put a content warning for the mention of Guns, Murder, and Attempted suicide, so be aware of all that before reading any further. If I missed any other content warnings, let me know, and I'll update the post.

The Main Trio:

Jimmy Hopkins - A Toy Slingshot. (I'd thought it be funny and it's at least a little useful.)

Gary Smith - A Tracking device that pinpoints the locations of the collars the others wear.

Pete Kowalski - A Pink stuffed rabbit plushie. (Gary got a laugh out of that one.)

Prefects (They're technically students too, so):

Seth Kolbe - An Inflatable Toy Baton.

Karl Branting - A Police Baton.

Edward Seymour II - A Beretta U22 Neos pistol. (I figure Edward might be a former Preppie, and thus, he comes from one of the rich families of Bullworth. So, just like some of the other Preppies, he got a gun as well.)

Max McTavish - A Megaphone.

Non-Clique students:

Angie Ng - A Tazer.

Christy Martin - A MAC-11 Machine pistol chambered for 9x19mm Parabellum. (She was given Justin's bag by mistake.)

Constantinos Brakus - An 8ft length of Rope. (Contantinos considered using it on himself before spotting Algie trying to hurt Gloria. Instead, he ends up stealing Algie's weapon after saving Gloria.)

Eunice Pound - A Cleaver.

Gloria Jackson - A multi-tool.

Gordon Wakefield - A college text book.

Ivan Alexander - An antique camera with film.

Karen Johnson - A metal baseball bat.

Lance Jackson - A bag of nails.

Melody Adams - A butcher's knife.

Pedro De La Hoya - A fork.

Ray Hughes - A spoon.

Sheldon Thompson - A whistle.

Trevor Moore - A pair of safety scissors.

The Bullies:

Russell Northrop - None. (He dies before the program starts due to his attempt to remove the explosive collar around his neck by force.)

Davis White - A Pistol Crossbow.

Ethan Robinson - Throwing stars.

Tom Gurney - A bottle of Potassium Cyanide. (Tom gives the bottle to Trent when they finally meet up so he isn't tempted to injest it's contents.)

Trent Northwick - A Hunting knife.

Troy Miller - A standard Kitchen knife. (Taken by Wade.)

Wade Martin - A bullet-proof vest. (He tossed it away out of anger since he got mad it wasn't an actual weapon. Gary finds and picks it up, secretly wearing it under his button-up shirt and vest. Wade ends up taking Troy's kitchen knife since Russell's death caused Troy to go into shock, so he wasn't in the state of mind to use it anyway.)

Preps:

Darby Harrington - A scoped Browning BLR Rifle chambered for .243 Winchester cartridges. (Some of the Preppie's parents provided bribe money to get their kids better weapons than the rest of the students. Mr. Harrington was exceptionally generous. Of course, this doesn't necessarily mean the Preps would know how to use them weapons they were given...)

Bif Taylor - A Franchi SPAS-12 shotgun.

Tad Spencer - A stainless steel gardening fork. (It's resemblance to the pitchfork his father once stabbed him with, along with the implication that his father didn't care enough about him to bribe the government to get his own son a better weapon that would guarantee his survival, and combined with the stress of his situation causes Tad's mental state to deteriorate during the events of The Program.)

Pinky Gauthier - None. (Pinkie threw the duffel bag she was given away since she refused to participate in the Program.)

Gord Vendome - A semi-automatic AMT Backup chambered for .380 ACP cartridges.

Chad Morris - A Series ALFA Steel Revolver chambered for .22 LR. (Chad trades his revolver for Bryce's ice pick, claiming that he's not a very good shot, though it might've been done out of pity for Bryce's situation.)

Bryce Montrose - An ice pick. (Bryce's parents couldn't afford the bribe money to get him a better weapon. He ends up trading the pick for Chad's revolver, albiet reluctantly.)

Justin Vandervelde - A box of matches. (He was given Christy's bag by mistake. Ironically, he's one of the few Preppies who actually know how to fire a gun due to past experience, along with Parker.)

Parker Ogilvie - A .44 Auto Mag Pistol.

Greasers:

Johnny Vincent - A Bowie machete.

Lola Lombardi - An OTF (Out-The-Front) Switchblade.

Mandy Wiles - A small canister of Pepper spray.

Bo Jackson - A wooden baseball bat.

Casey Harris - A Maglite flashlight.

Dan Wilson - A bright red plastic toy baseball bat.

Juri Karamazov - A sickle.

Kirby Olsen - A Whip. (Needless to say, when Kirby pulled it out of his duffel, he was mortified.)

Luis Luna - A Fire axe.

Bob - A metal garbage can lid.

Townies (The gov just wanted them to get rid of them for being high school dropouts and figured putting them in the Program with the students of Bullworth would be killing two birds with one stone.):

Edgar Munsen - A 9mm Beretta M9 handgun. (He smuggled it in. How? Who knows?)

Zoe Taylor - Bear repellent spray.

Omar Romero - A Crowbar.

Clint "Henry" - A Handheld Mini electric Chainsaw.

Duncan - A pocket calculator.

Gurney - A bottle of lighter fluid.

Jerry - A lighter.

Leon - A wood saw.

Otto Tyler - An empty glass bottle.

Some of these I got stumped on and I may have put too many joke weapons, but eh.

Vampires, History and You

DRAGAN I (12th century)

Blood-sucker from the Second Bulgarian Empie credited with being the first vampire. Claims of his exact birth, life and undeath are generally disputed and little proof of him even existing has been found. He is purported to have been of noble blood though as result of an affair, dying early of sickness and ressurecting as the original vampiric spawn for reasons unknown.

Some say he simply faded away or that he lives on to this day in form of the monsters of modern myth.

VLADISLAV III (1431-1476)

Contrary to popular belief, the Voivode of Wallachia, Vlad "The Impaler" was NOT A VAMPIRE. However due to his sheer bloodlust and sadism he was a magnet for them. Many high-ranking Wallachian officials at the time were vampires fully on board with his ideas who wholeheartedly supported his plundering and impaling of the Transylvanian Saxons.

He was slain by his own troops as they had mistaken him for a Turk.

ELIZABETH BATHORY DE ESCED (1560-1614)

A Hungarian countess moonlighting as a serial killer. Elizabeth was of the superstitious belief that bathing in blood would keep her youth intact, as her vampirism started taking a toll on her exterior, causing her to kill over 600 young maidens.

In early 1611 she was detained and imprisoned in Csejte castle for the remainder of her life where the deprivation of blood caused her to die four years later at the age of 54.

GRIGORI YEFIMOVICH RASPUTIN (1792-?)

Hired as a faith healer by the Nicholas II's son, the Siberian strannik Grigori Rasputi was not only a skilled manipulator and medical practitioner but also a possibly immortal vampire. Despite having a religious awakening after a pilgrimage in 1897 he was an opulent man enjoying all the pleasures of food, strong drink and any woman that would have him (which were quite many).

Following multiple failed assasination attemps Rasputin was thought to have been killed by a group of noblemen. Their first attempt to poison him with cyanide-laced cake and wine failed as his physiology withstood the poison, he was shot in the forehead and his corpse was diposed in the Malaya Nevka River.

However current paranormal scholars believe he is still alive and well, living in the shadows.

"JACK THE RIPPER" (Active 1888)

Another vampire serial killer is said to have haunted Victorian England. Although not even the name "Jack the Ripper" is for certain the methods of murder and removal of internal organs point to the suspect or suspects being of vampiric nature.

Never identified.

PETER KÜRTEN (1883-1931)

Maybe not one of the deadliest but probably most heinous vamprire serial killers, Peter Kürten was a man who truly earned his titles. Such charming nicknames as "The Düsseldorf Monster" and "The King of Sexual Perverts". Kürten went on a spree of arsons, homicides and molestations in the year 1929 before he was apprehended.

Peter was executed via beheading in 1931 on accounts of nine cases of murder and seven cases of attempted murder. His head was split in two (possibly to avoid biting post-decapitation) and mummified. In the late 1940s the head was moved to the US and now resides in Wisconsin.

KAREN SABNOCK (1912-Present)

The matriarch of a vampire clan which migrated to America after years of vampires confining themselves to Europe. At her arrival in the 1950s she fell in love with the suburban lifestyle that had been established post war. Her clan has grown strong over the years acting as a haven for vampirekind in the American Northeast...well as long as they conform to the standards of it.

She governs the coven as a sort of omnipotent wine aunt and is currently on the lookout for another vampiric bride, having set her eyes on the human wife of one of her clansmen.

BILLIAM FREDERICK SUBURBS (1914-2012)

A prominent social figure and progenitor of the Karen's suburban vampire community. He was the classic sitcom family man father of three living with his wife...until she killed him and their children after discovering they had killed a man to drink his blood in front of her.

Since his demise the clan has been on the hunt for his spouse Marsha.
