i wish i had the post on hand but a read i really like is vampirism as disability. you cant work a regular day job, in fact you physically cannot leave your home most hours of the day, you have specific dietary restrictions that alienate you from the social act of breaking bread, you feel condemned to navigate the world at its fringes, maybe your body wont change and develop the way it does for your peers, maybe your body is changing very rapidly into something that frightens people.

its tricky territory because i feel like the trope of the vampire as parasite is very dominant in the cultural consciousness and thats obviously not a connection i wish to draw, but like, you know who else the capitalist ableist world treats as drains on Normal society? in a narrative where the vampire character(s) arent being played as villains i think theres a lot of fertile ground here.

I think it would be a genuinely fascinating angle on writing vampire characters and an amazing way to discuss abled society’s tendency to relegate disabilities to “victim”, “parasite”, “monster”, and “pariah” categories depending on what they hope to gain from it.

“good” vampires are sympathetic and tragic, even sexy. “Bad” vampires are selfish and draining (literally) and ‘take up resources at other’s expense’, as the argument goes. Both ends parallel common talking points.

Hell, inspiration porn, unrealistic goals, fetishization, demonization, alienation, othering, the living ‘warning’, victimhood, survivorship, moralization- you could discuss a LOT about disabled experiences by using Vampires as the widely-palatable allegory and I kind of very much want to read that

Addendum: I do think it's also worth discussing vampirism as a disability that *is* parasitic on society and how even those people deserve rights. Just because a disabled person requires more from society than they can give doesn't mean they don't deserve to be treated humanely and have the same rights.

Yes, this even includes vampirism where they must feed on human blood regularly because that translates quite well to the literal human cost of providing medical care to disabled folks in an exploitative capitalist society.

I remember seeing a post from @anim-ttrpgs about this exact topic, and I really like how these questions are baked into the design of their game and setting.

I love Reddit it’s the only place I can see someone get mad enough to insult someone over a 13y old jolly rancher house. I also like that they said goodbye but came back to drop another insult indicating that they were indeed quite pressed over this. Classic

welcome to the Murdersex zine, a zine celebrating all things sex and murder. but um. we don't want to romanticize it or anything so don't make your submissions too murdersexy. we will do extensive background checks on all applicants and if we decide a past work of yours has too much sexy murder we'll have to remove you, sorry. we have limits, you know, we want a tasteful gory spread you could put on your coffee table, and having the Wrong people in it would kill the vibe (and we condemn all killing! wholeheartedly!)

i love how this post picks up whenever something like this happens again

"what did students do before chatgpt?" well one time i forgot i had a history essay due at my 10am class the morning of so over the course of my 30 minute bus ride to school i awkwardly used by backpack as a desk, sped wrote the essay, and got an A on it.

six months later i re-read the essay prior to the final exam, went 'ohhhh yeah i remember this', got a question on that topic, and aced it.

point being that actually doing the work is how you learn the material and internalize it. ChatGPT can give you a short cut but you won't build you the the muscles.
