headcanon based on how the vampires don't know what coffins are:

when a vampire dies they crumble to dust naturally (i don't think they would routinely do cremations bc of superstitions around fire) and the remains are scattered in the wind (with help from their powers if there isn't enough wind that day)

Scared for Ray frfr. Like, do we remember the first movie and Bucky's part in stand? And that moment he had with Zoe during the cheerleader tournament? And then in the second and third movie he's back to being racist?? Fearing for my boy, they're going to give him the same treatment. Zombies 5 starts and Ray is not only still against Vampires, but he's also throwing hands with mermaids at any given chance. Heed my words

Weird Idea 15

Imagine if a Spanish production of Tanz der Vampire was made? That would be pretty cool.

[citrine-elephant]

the creation of bane. a [rough] idea i need to get out of my brain:

he’s blended in with the bandits. he’s close to the twins, but not really on a friend-to-friend basis. they value his fighting skills. they recognize him as a powerful killer. but they’ve not really appointed him to anything official. it was inevitable that his hiding would turn this way. he was just too good of a fighter. but tyreen and troy knew there was something off about him. he may have fought like a bandit. acted like a bandit. but there was something about him.

they knew.... and it leads to a bar fight.... and that leads to an improvised harpoon in his spine. it burns the fuck out of his back and leaves him mostly paralyzed. the most they get out of him is a twitch of his fingers and a groan. (this may not be entirely realistic, of course).

“ugh, come on!” tyreen whines, “i told you dumbasses to catch him, not break him!” “now he’s useless” she sighs as her tattoos light up.

she moves for zane, ready to feast, until troy stops her.

“ty, wait! hold on, remember...?” he says, gesturing his hands towards his own chest.

“right.” tyreen smiles, “you there!” she points to one of her loyal fans, “get [name of a high-ranking bandit surgeon and/or tells the bandit to kidnap a good doctor lol] 

“well, there, ‘bane’,” tyreen mocks, “looks like you will be useful after all!”

soon enough, he’s fitted with an external spine and tossed into a prison. instead of killing him on the spot, the twins figure he’s a great soldier to have. knowing his tendency to turn on his employers for cash, and knowing he had no other choice but to flee to pandora... what’s a little brainwashing, imprisonment, and torture, then, eh? it’s... enough to make a loyal little soldier, obviously.

You want to know the only things from DotV that are actually good and can be applicable to Tanz and would be a good addition for an English translation if we have to change something?

the professor treating Alfred well and seeing him as a son

Rebecca having a larger part and showing up in act 2. While it does make sense that she isn’t going to the castle because she just lost her daughter and husband, and Magda, and the town attitude of “absolutely not” concerning it. It’s still nice to see. It’s done atrociously in DotV. Rebecca and Magda, unbitten, show up last second to prevent Alfred from staking Chagal and plan to stake him themself. Not what happens they both get bit and I’m just gonna leave it at that.

But, say something like you keep act one the same but act 2 crypt scene after Alfred and the professor leave you keep it going for a bit, the exact same but have Rebecca show up after a minute and either add in a quick lil line or imply that Magda turned her before going to the castle herself. So Magda and Rebecca finish up the reprise while chasing off Chagal with the discarded stake and hammer. It’s been a minute since I’ve looked at the lyrics but I don’t think you’d have to change all that much and it’d just be a change in staging and tweaking it a little bit so it still flows well. Of course still include Koukol but probably absolutely not caring that the women want to stake Chagal once he realizes that’s what they want to do, and then carry on with the show.

It's not my favorite character, actually. He's funny though. I did this because I was very strongly requested.
