Checked, nice dub-dubs.

Anyone got art of Spanish Vampires? I'm looking for the slashed sleeves, tudor necked, rapier-wielding look. The type of enemy swashbuckling stories would adore.

>>96134372
Man, American Vampire started so great. What could have been if it had any follow through at all...

>96134715
Kill yourself, fuckee.

Realized I have almost no pictures of Modrons if anyone has some to share.

That's not a vampire, that's a ghoul.

Like this?

>>96134355 (OP)
Got any black vampires?

The vampire myth is a deeply eastern european thing. It'd be like asking for white voodoo priestesses.

I had just read that original vampires (strigoi, onpyr, ubir, wąpierz, upyr...) and even older tales of Vampirism among the Romans, the Greeks and the Mesopotamians did not associate them with (vampire) bats. We can all thank Stoker's Dracula for that.
The original vampire was just an undead revenant or a draugr, coming back to kill. Not necessarily with fangs. Only similarity would be the occasional mention of drinking blood.
The definition of a vampire is convoluted. The simplest basic definition of a vampire ought to be: 1) a corpse 2) allegedly risen 3) attempts to hurt the living.
Semantics are important when you play with linguist nerds!

>>96146392
I don't think ancient monster stories are particularly relevant here. There is today a concept of what a vampire is, and it's distinct from other forms of undead monsters for specific reasons. Drinking blood and being destroyed by sunlight are two of them. They don't just eat corpses, that's a ghoul. They don't just collapse and sleep during the day, that's a zombie.

>>96146274
that's a boring way of looking at things

>>96148284
Arbitrary randomness isn't interesting. It's anti-interesting. Because it directly denies the possibility of meaning.
If you want to use terms / reference symbols (which is what tropes are), you have to respect that they have a specific meaning.
You can make up your own language if you want, but you can't blame other people for not already understanding and using it - or for not wanting to bother learning your weird arbitrary language.

It does not matter whether you are bored or jaded about the existing lexicon of tropes / symbols / terms. That literally just does not fucking matter here. It's irrelevant.

>>96148992
Modern vampires barely have anything to do with the original, your racist autism is as worthless and meaningless as the words you wasted on all that.

>>96146274
>The vampire myth is a deeply eastern european thing.
Generally, yeah. However!

>>96146274
It's a very 18th-19th century American thing as well, and America has black people.

>>96146274
clearly you don't read a lot of lovecraft.

I'm guessing you're familiar with Ixalan, since that's where that pic is from? If not, go nuts: https://scryfall.com/search?q=Atag%3Aixalan+t%3Avampire

Anyone got any jesters? Preferably of the martially trained or assassin variety.

I understand that different universes have different rules, but would vampires even need a space suit if they don't need to breathe?
>sunlight
same rules as regular settings, only active when there's no sun.

>>96168655
Vampires usually at least appear to breathe, more than other Undead. Also space suit offer more than just air to breathe, but also protection (even if pressure difference is not that that big, explosive deal as in fiction)
Even if you can regenerate or use powers to protect yourself, it's still better to have more protection and avoid damage

>>96166843
kill jester

Vampires, yes yes
