In Central and Eastern Europe there were numerous reasons why people might become vampires, often through no fault of their own. These could include having red hair (like Cain and Judas apparently had), being born with a caul or being born with teeth. Eating a sheep that had been killed by a wolf or having an animal, especially a cat, walk on your grave could also place you among the undead. For this reason, pets were often kept indoors during funerals. Vampirism could result from being born a seventh child or being born to a mother who neglected to put salt on her food. Having blue eyes in areas where brown eyes were more common - or vice versa - also boosted your chances of becoming a bloodsucker. #folklore #mythology #weird #history #vampire #vampires #paranormal #gothic #death

I'm still alive after playing too much BG3 all month and neglecting my art stuff. Have these little bat face studies!
I went to see Nosferatu today, and I sooo wish it was a movie through a queer (or even gay lense). The imagery was super pretty tho, it was almost like a big Bloodborne movie, very very nice to look at, (not as good of a story as Bloodborne).
I just crave hot monsters..

#DecRecs day 5: Sunshine by Robin McKinley sat on my shelf for YEARS until I was finally in the mood to read it. I’m so glad I finally did because this book is actual perfection? If you can only read one single vampire book, make it this one. It’s compelling and compassionate and perfectly crafted!!!

#OSR question I never thought about: you know Clerics, yes? Generally not happy with the undead.
Can they stake vampires?
The answer depends on the rules you use and how you interpret them.
Basic DnD doesn't say they can't. It bars Clerics from using weapons with an edge. Is a point an edge?
Who knows.
Is a stake a weapon?
Arguably it might be a tool.

When Lizzie Siddall - wife and muse of the Pre-Raphaelite poet and painter Dante Gabriel Rossetti - died after years of poor health, psychological distress and drug abuse, Rossetti made an impassioned gesture. He placed the only copy of a book of his poems in her casket, wrapping it in her striking long ginger hair. Seven years later, however, Rossetti felt he'd made a mistake and that he'd buried some of his best work. Lizzie was exhumed from her resting place in Highgate Cemetery. It's said that Lizzie was almost perfectly preserved and still beautiful, with a kind of phantom glow adding to her pallid charms. Moreover, her splendid red hair had grown during the seven years she'd been underground, with yards of it filling the coffin. Rossetti knew Bram Stoker and it's thought this episode might have influenced scenes from Dracula.

Open CultureWatch the Original Nosferatu, the Classic German Expressionist Vampire Film, Before the New Remake Arrives This DecemberF. W. Murnau's Nosferatu, far and away the most influential early vampire movie, came out 102 years ago. For about ten of those years, Robert Eggers has been trying to remake it. He wouldn't be the first:
Ran our second session of #EatTheReich this evening – was a bit underprepared after a very full week, but honestly two hours of heavily armed, super-powered vampire guerrillas shredding their way through hundreds of nazis turned out to be exactly what I needed today
