Aren't vampires considered undead? Lacks any blood in their system? How would they produce a boner?

[-] AmosBurton_ThatGuy@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 hour ago

Clearly by drinking the blood of others to fuel their boners. You thought vampires needed blood to live? No, they need it to smash.

^yo ^mamma

[-] franklin@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

Depends on lore. Classical? No boner. World of Darkness Vampire? Yes... Sort of, you can "spend" blood in order to revive human functionality including a boner.

Buffy the vampire slayer? "I can fix them"

[-] VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

WoD vamps don't really enjoy sex, though. Except Jeannette, but she's explicitly insane. They can do it, but they don't really get anything out of it, except for an opportunity to feed.

Sparkly vamp Twilight lore? It just works, don't ask questions...

Is this a storyboard from True Blood?

[-] ChapulinColorado@lemmy.world 8 points 5 hours ago

Sookeeeeeehh~ 🧛‍♂️

Affirmative consent enforced by vampirism

[-] morphballganon@lemmy.world 7 points 7 hours ago

I, too, saw that other comic.

[-] Stalinwolf@lemmy.ca 8 points 10 hours ago

Blow a nut in that gut, then drink some wine and eat some chicken!

[-] Zip2@feddit.uk 13 points 12 hours ago

Would the foetus be undead and count as a still birth?

[-] ironhydroxide@sh.itjust.works 23 points 11 hours ago

Someone call the republicans, we have an abortion in progress.

[-] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 1 points 8 minutes ago

"What has this country come to when women are MURDERING their half-vampire babies!?!"

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 15 points 13 hours ago

Wow, I didn’t know the words I’ve said were so spooky.

[-] Lemminary@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

Context matters. 🤭

[-] Kalcifer@sh.itjust.works 8 points 12 hours ago

Is that actually a standard vampire rule? I honestly thought that was something Adventure Time made up.

[-] GlendatheGayWitch@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

In American lore, they also have arithmomania, where they compulsively have to count things. So you'd throw some straw behind you to escape the vampire because it would have to stop and count the straw that you threw. That's why The Count in Sesame Street is a Vampire who likes counting things.

[-] CCMan1701A@startrek.website 2 points 3 hours ago

Yes. If you read Dracula, Dr Van Hellsing explains all this and many other interesting things...

[-] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 24 points 11 hours ago

It is a very old thing, actually!

[-] slaacaa@lemmy.world 16 points 10 hours ago

Yes, without permission it’s vampiric assault, a serious crime. Victims are coming forward more and more since the #Vtoo movement

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 4 points 7 hours ago

If you were bitten against your will, you can’t become a vampire unless you want to.

[-] smokebuddy@lemmy.today 4 points 5 hours ago

the body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down?

[-] Lemminary@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

Tide goes in, tide goes out. You can't explain that!

[-] TheRedSpade@lemmy.world 9 points 10 hours ago

I don't know if you can call anything to do with fictional beings "standard". All of it is subject to interpretation and the whims of the storyteller.

That said, while it tends to be absent from modern lore, it's a very old rule as the other commenter said.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 4 points 10 hours ago

Depends on what you consider modern. It's still there in The Lost Boys.

[-] thisbenzingring@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 9 hours ago

Such a great bad movie. The dude playing the sax steals the show

[-] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 2 points 9 hours ago

All part of the narrative that a vampire will seduce you, because without you inviting it in then it can’t.

Adventure Time just riffs on it

[-] oce@jlai.lu 7 points 13 hours ago

Can you use garlic as a contraceptive in this case?

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 7 points 8 hours ago

Stuff it up in there like you’re making a roast.

Hello fellow Cyanide and Happiness fans!

About this community and how I post the comics… Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. Of course these days you can read your favorite comics online instead of a newspaper, but I love the nostalgia of reading the daily comics. Anyway, one of my favorite current comics is Cyanide and Happiness and I will be posting the daily release from their website (https://explosm.net) and a an extra or two randoms.

Cyanide & Happiness (C&H) is a webcomic created by Rob DenBleyker, Kris Wilson, Dave McElfatrick and Matt Melvin. The comic has been running since 2005 and is published on the website explosm.net along with animated shorts in the same style. Matt Melvin left C&H in 2014, and several other people have contributed to the comic and to the animated shorts… Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanide_%26_Happiness

Hope you enjoy and feel free to contribute to the community with art, media, cool stuff about the authors, tattoos, toys and anything else, as long it’s Cyanide and Happiness related!

Ps. Sub to all my comic strip communities…
