What if... Now hear me out... What if our lack of time recognition is due to some ancestors that were immortal, like vampires or something--and at some point the immortality gene just disappeared, like due to Mendelian genetics or something.

The immortal ones keep forgetting to reproduce so only the mortal ones do.

If there's one thing I can't forget it's my sex drive :/

Y'know what just dawned on me? Nandor, Laszlo, Nadja, and Collin Robinson are all kinda neurodivergent coded. Are we in the neurodivergent villain era? Kinda like the queer coded villains of the last couple generations. Cause if so, I'm 110% here for it lol

Is Guillermo a hero or a villain?

[–] BarrelAgedBoredom@lemm.ee 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Guillermo has harnessed his powers of anxiety and people pleasing to ascend binary conceptions or morality

That was my favorite clay pot!

All of this happens to Nandor on What We Do In the Shadows, lol.

I have that show and haven’t watched it. Any good?

[–] weariedfae@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I enjoyed it. And it has ended so you can binge the whole series if you want. I recommend watching the 2014 movie also titled What We Do In The Shadows first. It's not required but there are some easter eggs and it gives you the vibe of the universe.

[–] SolarMonkey@slrpnk.net 3 points 2 months ago

Awesome thanks, I’ll do that.

I’m not really into vampire stuff but it came up when looking for comedy type stuff (because sci-fi has gotten overall quite depressing and I need something that isn’t), so I nabbed it and there it sits.

But I’ll give it a shot with the movie at least. :)

I was a big fan. There were some less awesome ones, and some very awesome ones, and some dropped storylines, but overall I recommend.

[–] SolarMonkey@slrpnk.net 2 points 2 months ago

Excellent, thanks for the feedback, I’ll give it a go :)

Am a vampire, can confirm.

[–] CaptainBlagbird@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Really? Then name one blood type!

[–] name_NULL111653@pawb.social 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Human

I was hoping for "Tasty", but this is even better 😂

Ya know... I'm thinking The Emperor of Mankind might have ADHD. It would make a lot of sense.
