Dracula dressed like that because he was a count, not because he was a vampire

It's this sensitivity training because I said "bloodsucker during lunch? I was complaining about some mosquitos"

so only counts can have immaculate drip?

Anyone can. Counts must. It's in the rules.

It's more than just learning how to dress sharp, you also have to be able to afford it. Older vampires have had time to amass some real wealth and a serious wardrobe.

Compounding interest must feel like a cheat code for them.

Fashion is cyclical and vampires have the good fortune of being around long enough that some fit will eventually be couture.

Or maybe real vampires (duh, not the TV kind, obvs) only turn people who already have a certain style?

[-] Zagorath@aussie.zone 2 points 1 day ago

So toreador are the only real vampires, and all the other clans are TV vamps?

[-] ICCrawler@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

I suppose when you live hundreds of years, you'll probably pick up fashion as a hobby out of nothing more than boredom at some point. It's also something that's just been around for a long, looong time, even if it's always changing. So, like, yeah, I'm sure when some bargain bin office floozy gets his middle-class jugular slurped like a straw, he'll still have all the style of a corpo puppet. But like, just give him some time to marinade in eternity. His fashion'll shine through eventually.

Hot Topic was invented to capture this market.

Have we reached the point in time where the Twilight series isn’t commonly known about?

[-] Zorque@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

I know that it exists, but I have no basis for using it in this context.

Well… I mean… this pic is pretty much their description…

Known but actively ignored.

As a very powerful vampire, I intentionally dress down to make the point that my own vanity is not in any way part of what commands your respect.

This question was answered authoritatively by famed Vampirologist Stephenie Meyer in her seminal, though short, biography- The Short Life of Bree Tanner.

Bree was a young vampire of only a few days in the story, and she was a shit dresser.

"Few creatures of the night have captured our imagination like vampires.
What explains our enduring fascination with vampires? Is it the overtones of sexual lust, power, control? Or is it a fascination with the immortality of the undead?"

Feel free to post any vampire-related content here. I'll be posting various vampire media I enjoy just as a way of kickstarting this community but don't let that stop you from posting something else. I just wanted a place to discuss vampire movies, books, games, etc.
