Interview with a real-life vampire

[elleblue]

Dead at the picture in the article captioned "modern vampires do not have sharp teeth".

[NewOrleans]

Is it maybe a form of pica?

[pixy0stix]

Well, as long as they're not harming anyone I guess let them believe they are real vampires.

This is the only real life vampire I'm interested in interviewing



Unless Idris played a vampire?

[NewOrleans]

Because why not?

I cant believe that Anne Rice came out and said she thought it he (LOL!) was a great Lestat

She said she was picturing Rutger Hauer when she wrote the character, so... I don't really trust her to have casting input on anything.

I want to be open minded but this article smells like quack medicine. It reminds me of the Victorians and how much they idealized special snowflakes with delicate constitutions.

No.

I agree - nope, you don't get to pretend you're a vampire until you don't remember reality.

I'll bet he also has an Emotional Support Snake.

"We don't do this to be trendy. We can distinguish between reality and fantasy." Says the guy wearing all black as he tries to explain a need for blood. Nope. Go take an iron supplement and go about your business.

The energy vampires just remind me of that girl in high school who was always talking about how she can sense auras and past lives. And I hung around with a lot of those people. I'm speaking from experience.

And I'm back. I'm thinking more about this and getting more confused. If you have a medical condition that causes you to seek blood then seek therapy. Otherwise, why can't you be like every real life vampire of the past few decades and drink the sherry you stole from your mom's liquor cabinet from a chalice while calling it blood?

It wouldn't surprise me, with the exception of the psi vampires.  I could believe that there are some people out there that crave the taste of blood.  I can't roll my eyes hard enough at the people I've met who claimed they were psi vampires though.

Whenever I read articles like this the L&O Criminal Intent vampire eps always pops into my brain.

I would also accept Alexander Skarsgard.  (edit cause stupid pic didn't post!)

I stumbled onto a vampire forum years ago. The hot topic was how to obtain discounted supplies. Like an MM board for vampires.

Therapy seems easier.

I've read about the energy vampires before. And how they really do make you feel physically and emotionally exhausted. I'd believe it, although I don't really want to think about how it works. Just because I've met people I'd rather not spend my time and energy on, so...

Isn't that just a toxic person?

In general, yeah, but I guess "emotional vampires" go beyond that and also are very charismatic. I guess I'm seeing how there are people in the world who can be more than just a run-of-the-mill toxic person or frenemy or someone with a personality conflict, however rare.

If it's not sexual, what's the point?
