I am the vampire Lestat.

I’m immortal. More or less. The light of the sun, the sustained heat of an intense fire—these things might destroy me. But then again, they might not.

I’m six feet tall, which was fairly impressive in the 1780s when I was a young mortal man. It’s not bad now. I have thick blond hair, not quite shoulder length, and rather curly, which appears white under fluorescent light. My eyes are icy blue eyes like limpid tears and a lot of people tell me I look like Amy Lee. I'm not related to Gerard Way but I wish I was because he's a major fucking hottie. I'm a vampire but my teeth are straight and white. I have pale white skin. I'm also a witch, and I go to a magic school called Hogwarts in England where I'm in the seventh year. I'm a goth and I wear mostly black. I love Hot Topic and I buy all my clothes from there. For example today I was wearing a black corset with matching lace around it and a black leather miniskirt, pink fishnets and black combat boots. I was wearing black lipstick, white foundation, black eyeliner and red eye shadow. I was walking outside Hogwarts. It was snowing and raining so there was no sun, which I was very happy about. A lot of preps stared at me. I put up my middle finger at them.

    With a sloshing plop the thing fell to the ground, evaporating in a thick scarlet cloud until it reatained its original size. It remained thus for a moment as the puckered maw took the shape of a protruding red eyeball, the pupil of which seemed to unravel before it the tale of creation. How a shapeless mass slithered from the quagmires of the stygmatic pool of time, only to degenerate into a leprosy of avaricious lust. In that fleeting moment the grim mystery of life was revealed before Grignr's ensnared gaze.

    The eyeballs glare turned to a sudden plea of mercy, a plea for the whole of humanity. Then the blob began to quiver with violent convulsions; the eyeball shattered into a thousand tiny fragments and evaporated in a curling wisp of scarlet mist. The very ground below the thing began to vibrate and swallow it up with a belch.

    The thing was gone forever. All that remained was a dark red blotch upon the face of the earth, blotching things up. Shaking his head, his shaggy mane to clear the jumbled fragments of his mind, Grignr tossed the limp female over his shoulder. Mounting one of the disgruntled mares, and leading the other; the weary, scarred barbarian trooted slowly off into the horizon to become a tiny pinpoint in a filtered filed of swirling blue mists, leaving the Nobles, soldiers and peasants to replace the missing monarch. Long leave the king!!!

  • I had to read a bit, but I think I can find exactly where the two mix

    it was hard to figure out when to transition between the two because the whole introductory paragraph is in that clipped, self descriptive mode that my immortal uses so you could switch between the two at p much any point.

    I am getting more upset at this mockery of Anne Rice than perhaps I should. Perhaps I am tired of vampires being a punchline by tired tropers.

    I was going to make a thread where I pretended that the canonical version of Vampire lore was the titular character of Bunnicula and everything else was a terrible deviation from the sacred text, but eh. 

    Effort.

    Those troper types are annoying, though.

    Dio is a sexy bisexual bad boy vampire with a tragic past and powers that Dracula doesn't have. What are they doing with this DEFILEMENT of Vampire lore.

    u just think so cuz ur a furry lol
  • it bugs me that when you break it down the fight w/ Pet Shop was a lot more tense than the fight w/ Dio


    The Dio fight seemed overly protracted and the things that happened felt a little arbitrary and yeah i wasnt super happy with it even though ZA WARUDO was A+

    Some of the fights work better in manga form, because manga takes up less time than animation.

    Pet Shop was a very visual and compressed fight, so it worked well.

    That's what I was assuming tbh
  • I really liked the ridiculous foleyed dubstep robot noises pet shop made, it was a nice touch.

    Munch munch, chomp chomp...
    After the fight with Dio (which I didn't consider very protracted so much as pretty dramatic and not translating well), Pet Shop was unsurprisingly one of my favorites. I'll be reformulating my thoughts after I go through the manga, though.

    v Except for that, yeah. I liked the rest of what Jotaro did, even if that was the least surprising left-fielder I've seen.
  • My dreams exceed my real life
    That said Jotaro suddenly turning out to have time stop powers was a bit of a deus ex machina.

    There actually is a new fight featuring Za Warudo in Part 7 where that doesn't happen.
  • My favorite was definitely d'arby the gambler

    that might be my favorite fight in anime history ever period tbh

    It's really, really great yeah.

    Also it probably inspired the whole of Yu-Gi-Oh

    as for vampires, I feel like they could be cool if they hadn't been ruined by that Twilight sparkle
  • naney said:

    yeah but vampires are many things to many people

    with a werewolf you pretty much know what you're getting unless it's a loup-garou, and it's never a loup-garou.
  • the mooooon thing was a werecow pun
  • counterpoint: werewolves are fluffy

    vampires are not fluffy

    unless they are bunnicula
  • OP was a good post and Naney you should feel good for making it

    I enjoyed both of the D'arby brothers fights. They were both really fun to read.

    In the anime, I felt that the racing part of D'arby the Gamer was great, but the baseball part dragged a bit.

    I haven't gotten to watching Stardust Crusaders animated yet, so I can't really comment, but I'll take your word for it.
  • Man is a most complex simple creature: see what he weaves, and how base his reasons for doing so.
    My favorite interpretation of vampires is one that doesn't exist yet.

    Vampires are a slice of hell on earth, drinking blood to get at the souls of man, adding it to the soul-colony that also serves as fuel to drive the damned soul that is currently driving.

    No, I did not make that up. I wish I did.

    I think you are interrogating the mockery from the wrong perspective.

    Loups-garous are great.

    Actually, strictly speaking, traditional vampire lore and traditional werewolf lore are both part of this broad continuum of traditions revolving around shapeshifting predators and dead things not staying dead. Revenants, vrykolakas, loups-garous, lamiae, wurdalak, draugr, skinwalkers, gumiho...

    But I found the OP amusing enough.
