I came up with a wonderfully horrible Baldur's Gate 3 character idea while at work. And I know it's wonderfully horrible because every co-worker within earshot of me glared at me when I announced it.

I'm going to make a bard. And name him Balduran Duran.

Cursed Vampire Worldbuilding

Everyone loves to make fun of sparklepires. They're a very mockable form of vampire. I, too, am going to mock them, but in a way that attempt to fit them into the broader tapestry of vampiredom.

The advantage of sparklepires is that they have some immunity to sunlight. The disadvantage is that this immunity translates into sparkling like a glitter bomb.

How did this happen? An experiment gone wrong? A curse? A disease? Well, let's examine the possibilities.

It could be a case of experimenting gone wrong. Maybe a vampire bit a fae to see what would happen and got sparkling results.

Or maybe a vampire pissed off the wrong witch and the result makes it harder for them to be stealthy during the day.

Or maybe it's just some kind of weird disease that crops up in vampires once in a while, either due to the quirky genetics of the Turned or from the vampire equivalent of inbreeding: if your bloodsuckers use/turn too small a genetic pool things go a bit wonky. In which case you could have other kinds of weirdness appearing, too. Let your imagination run wild.

However it happens, though, it becomes a VTD: Vampire Transmitted Disease. The afflicted vampire has a high chance of passing it on to anyone they turn.

Would vampires consider it worth the risk? Or would it be considered embarrassing? Given the advent of the Twilight series, it seems likely that a lot of fangers would consider it a bit embarrassing. Certain groups are actively trying to wipe it out. Unfortunately, between the sparkle-lovers and weird mystical mumbo-jumbo, it continues to pop up in all its glittery glory.

Sparklepires tend to be looked at a bit askance in the vampire world. A lot of research has been done on the subject, but every time some progress is made, some new quirk seems to pop up. Like the day Dracula turned someone and they sparkled. So mortify! Much enrage! Dracula clearly isn't a sparklepire, so what gives? (Conspiracy theorists absolutely try to draw lines so that Drac IS a sparklepire, but they all mysteriously die.)

Maybe it's a dormant trait in humans that only activates when they're turned. Maybe it's the gods themselves thumbing their noses at the vampires. Maybe it's the damned werewolves. Somehow.

Man it truly sucks that like. The dude who did Planet of the Bass is a piece of shit LMFAO cause like. I feel like the DJ Crazy Times outfits PERFECTLY captured Moe's fashion sense and doodling those outfits spurred on A Bunch of ideas and I was having a lot of fun and even like an epiphany that spurred on a separate deeply self-indulgent project/concept (complete opposite end of the spectrum of indulgence) and then I find out ohhhhh. You weren't Just making fun of the fashion of the times and like, how it feels when you can't process shit so everything sounds a bit funny, and also just like how early 2000s music Is Sometimes (DEEPLY feel the song itself is SO DDR core ESP like... how it's just a bunch of vague jumbled concepts that's catchy AS FUCK) -- you're also a grown ass man still weirdly fixated on your autistic classmate you had in 3rd grade or some shit (have not looked at the vids myself and don't wish to, but from what I've heard it's essentially that).

(Further clarification -- he's making fun of autistic kids who had like, very typical and understandable Needs to accommodate being autistic in a classroom. As a grown adult. Like why are you even still thinking about this LMFAOOO move on, grow up LMFAOOO)

Int. Vincent Valentine's swanky new man cave.

Vincent sits in the chair in front of his coffin, holding a pipe in one hand. He looks up and at the camera, closing the book he's holding with the other hand.

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to Vincent's Hour of Dour."

We really need to reframe how we are talking about generative ai, because, "it's stealing from artists," is really underselling what's going on.

It's stealing from all of us, to pad billionaires pockets. Pictures of your meals, of your house, your pets, your vacations, you. Your status updates, and shitposts. That cute video of your cat. That is all your work, your unpaid labor. If you baked a loaf of bread for fun, it's still your loaf of bread. You put your time, and effort into creating something, and it's being stolen by those with the most. It doesn't matter that you did it for fun, or it wasn't good, that does not give megacorps the right to your work.

Even if you don't consider yourself an artist, you're still creating, and they're using you for profit.
