Make a Vampire character who’s lived through several waves of the common language’s development and can’t let go if certain gramatical habbits from different time eras.

So like, thou ist a horrid creature, an absolute cur, but go off i guess

[anachronistic-cat]

… can i use that phrase irl?

[probablyvampirerpgideas]

Absolutely you can and I encourage more uses of similar phrases that just completely fuck up the chronology of the english langauge. I wanna hear 15th century english mixed with surfer speak mixed with current age internet lingo like all the time.

[the-argumentative-viper]

Like this? Well my dude, seems like a weasel hath not such a deal of splean as you’re toss’d with. Chill already, you’re not valid.

[nuttersincorporated]

You are an unrighteous, bastardly gullion. Heaven truly knows that thou art false as hell. When you die, I will face God and walk backwards into hell just so that I can beat your ass in the afterlife too.

[fromthemindofatwentyorotherlycan]

I love the idea of a vampire who’s language travels back in time as they get pissed.

Reading these is like literary whiplash

[your-naked-magic-oh-dear-lord]

This whole post is gold, but the comment about the vampire’s dialect “devolving” into older and older periods when he’s angry stood out to me.

It’s a cinematic cliché for a person of any foreign nationality to revert to their native language when angry (I usually see it with Spanish-speaking characters), and my southern accent deepens as I get angrier.

It makes sense that an immortal character who saw the eras of his language change and evolve over time would speak more and more archaically as he got angrier.

Historical linguists decide to get especially ancient vampires pissed off in order to study ancient languages

[esoanem]

are you telling me that if I get a 5000yo vampire angry enough I can directly test the glottalic theory?

dark academia is just when the lightbulbs in the library haven’t been replaced in nine years

dark academia is when your department is in the basement

dark academia is never seeing sunlight because your classes start early and end late and getting a vitamin d deficiency

Ok hear me out on this: a doom movie directed by taika waititi and it's shot in the style of what we do in the shadows. It follows a group of demons around mockumentary style as they flee the doom slayer. It tries to frame the demons as tragic victims when they're obviously not and the slayer does increasingly wild and superpowered shit to get to them

They can keep the phrase “possibly even Christians which is the last thing we need in this house”

so apparently my city has a superhero. and a supervillain. who like, do activism. and. my mom. is dating the supervillain.

[notoriousmasc]

i live in norfolk virginia, and there’s this guy called the black widow who lives here

he does operate kind of like a real superhero, and he stops car break-ins and stuff like that! apparently he even stopped a case of domestic violence once. i don’t know if a lot of people know he exists, but he definitely seems like a nice dude, and he has a lot of articles centered around him

but. there’s also a supervillain?

this is Man Man, founder of “AdaManMantium inc.” He is both legally and occupationally a supervillain. that’s not even a joke he has actual paperwork designating himself as a supervillain. he even has a business card

Man Man is pretty obsessed with “testing” the black widow in a lot of different ways. like. man man threatened to give his (man man’s) cat to a kill shelter if the black widow didn’t solve a riddle he gave him (whether he actually did it or not i have no idea)

and he also got 35 people to donate blood once the black widow solved ANOTHER riddle which was cool, and there was also this time where he went to a gay bar and told people that if they bought drinks he’d send the equivalent of the money they spent to the westboro baptist church (but since they refused he sent them to a charity)

one of his more recent schemes included… going to the mayor of the city and trying to get him to outlaw masks.

the reason im telling this to you. is because

my mom is dating man man?

blocked out the private stuff but you can definitely see that its the same guy (and also him cosplaying as. Him.)

my mom has always had questionable taste in men (she had a crush on onision a while ago) but like. she’s dating an actual supervillain now which i think is fucking hysterical

so basically. tl;dr. my town has superheroes and supervillains in it and my mom has decided to date a supervillain

[notoriousmasc]

update: theyre engaged

[theawkwardvirgin]

Black Widow has a billboard and runs around with batons.
