This is What We Do in the Shadows, right? Like that's more or less the joke half the time.
The two main jokes are Nandor saying "radical" and anyone other than Colin saying "shut up, Colin Robinson."
I mean, people are still alive who were alive 30 years ago. So vampires would probably be saying “radical“ at about the same rate that non-vampires their age say it
Not!
One thing about living in Santa Carla I never could stomach; all the damn vampires
Lost Boys comes to mind for vamps who say "radical?" It's got Alex "Bill S Preston esq" Winter in it too, right ?
somewhat relevant xkcd
Where alt text????
I'm bringing radical and tubular back. Those were good slang.
Bitchin’!
Cowabunga!
Like, gag me with a houseboat!
I still say rad, sometimes. Maybe I'd be the vamp who tries to sneak phrases back into parlance under the guise of irony.
Mitch McConnell is dead? Tubular.
Mint!
Bitchin'
There's probably a story in building systems to address this.
I could see a network of vampires who exchange safehouses every few decades, so as to avoid people noticing they've been there for 150 years, and the relocation forces them to reboot their cultural references, accents, etc.
They play the "new immigrant" card until they can blend in properly.
The What We Do in the Shadows movie and TV show both play with this idea a little, though ultimately the vampires are too stuck in their ways to genuinely try to adapt.
There is precedent for this.
I'm not a vampire but I still definitely say rad, man.
"Few creatures of the night have captured our imagination like vampires.
What explains our enduring fascination with vampires? Is it the overtones of sexual lust, power, control? Or is it a fascination with the immortality of the undead?"
Feel free to post any vampire-related content here. I'll be posting various vampire media I enjoy just as a way of kickstarting this community but don't let that stop you from posting something else. I just wanted a place to discuss vampire movies, books, games, etc.
