      I don't care your ecological premises, I will never listen to an argument re: why mosquitoes shouldn't go extinct

      They're the one animal that's responsible for the most human deaths historically and every year to this day and it isn't even close

      It's funny that vampires are associated with one fairly rare and inconsequential species of blood drinking animal (vampire bats) when mosquitoes make such a better metaphor A parasite that's been with humanity since the beginning, sickening and draining us and holding us back

      It's really a style thing, as far as I can tell. The swooping wings/capes do more than the bloodsucking

      There's very little Bat stuff in early vampire depictions. If anything their metaphorical animal was the leech

      There's an argument that the flukeworm monster in the famous early X Files episode has more in common with at least a certain historical depiction of vampires than a lot of post-Victorian, post-Gothic vampire fiction.

      Yeah, that makes sense. I mean, a LOT of it dates back, not even just to Bram Stoker, but to Bela Lugosi specifically.

      To a degree, yeah. And the folklore is interesting, but here's a new blazing cursed sun hot take from me; The "ackshually historical folklore vampires were like X" has become the vampire equivalent to "Frankenstein is the name of the doctor!"

      Lol yeah Victor was a goddamn undergrad, when he made the Creature he'd only completed his *freshman year* That was the point, once he started getting obsessed with babbling nonsense about creating artificial life he started failing his classes and alienating his professors

          So he stormed out saying he would show them, show them all, etc Genius: the Transgression goes into a whole thing about how for exactly this reason most Mad Scientists have "self-granted doctorates", except for the relatively rare cases of late-onset Mad Science disorder

          Even hotter take; Victor was just the equivalent of a modern day pseudo-intellectual logic/debate/econ brok, who gets some 101 knowledge then fancies themselves the world's greatest genius even though their ideas are actually horrible and dangerous.

          Shelley's book, unlike the adaptations, doesn't specify how he makes the monster - it doesn't describe the stitching body parts together and zapping them with electricity at all What little it does say says that his theory doesn't make any SENSE
