I Wanted To Outrun The End Of The World With Him

Pisses me off how good Shakespeare actually is. Like yeah he's actually that good. People hype him up like he's the best English writer ever, and yeah he's actually an S+ tier writer.

Insane that he did all that while naming his characters shit like Count Evilcount and Peter Penissex.

it remains insane that he wrote a love sonnet hinges on the idea "you will live forever because this sonnet, specifically, will be remembered for all time" and that sonnet, specifically, became so famous that it serves as a synecdoche for the very concept of poetry. world historic called shot.

Be horny about Nosferatu I do not care but also do not lose sight of how much the European depiction of vampires relies on making monstrous an orientalized ethnic other. There is literal Nazi propaganda depicting Jews as vampires and that did not spring forth from nowhere. Stoker's depiction of Romani people in "Dracula," even if not as vampires, is extremely racist. Yes, vampirism as a metaphor for queerness and sexual expression also exists but I'm seeing a lot of people only discussing that.

Vampirism as it relates to sexuality actually cannot be divorced from the depiction of vampires as demonized ethnic others because the concept of them as sexually predatory often stemmed from white supremacist anxieties about the "defilement" of Pure White Women. If vampirism by nature relies on the violation of others, it is necessary to examine the historical context of why exactly that is.
