#putting in my talkys tag bc i dont have another for it bt i like this convo

[skunkes]

A lot of common mythology treats taking a photograph or painting a person as capturing a piece of their soul so vampires, being already dead/soulless, cannot have this essence captured in physical form! Maybe

ty for all these! the camera explanation is satisfying to me, the paintings one makes sense bt still leaves me wanting more wargh (not aimed at anyone who responded i jst mean in general)
