Meet Amir, Amir is a vampire, he's very old, roughly 500 years, he can't remember exactly when he was born. He takes special herbal teas so he can be out in the daylight. His favourite colour is purple and he has his own style, he doesn't care that people find him odd or excentric.
He's handsewn from thrifted materials and old clothes.

In order to welcome @Photosaurus on Mastodon, I'm sharing our last collab last November with this pic I love so much ! Also 2 detail shots of the leather belt accessories (details in ALT description). The goal was to represent what could be a vampire crossing the ages and slowly adapting her wardrobe (we also did a victorian and modern era version but I prefer the medieval one^^). #fantasy #photomonday #vampire #portrait #leathercraft #costumedesign

In Orthodox parts of south-eastern Europe, the best day to go vampire hunting was Saturday. This was because the day following the crucifixion was sacred to the Virgin Mary, who had clung to her faith in those dark hours. Vampires, therefore, were confined to their graves during this day and so could not escape if discovered. Those born on a Saturday were able to detect ghosts and ghouls and were immune to the malevolent influence of vampires. #folklore #vampire #vampires #gothic #paranormal #weird #mythology #history #ghosts

In Central and Eastern Europe there were numerous reasons why people might become vampires, often through no fault of their own. These could include having red hair (like Cain and Judas apparently had), being born with a caul or being born with teeth. Eating a sheep that had been killed by a wolf or having an animal, especially a cat, walk on your grave could also place you among the undead. For this reason, pets were often kept indoors during funerals. Vampirism could result from being born a seventh child or being born to a mother who neglected to put salt on her food. Having blue eyes in areas where brown eyes were more common - or vice versa - also boosted your chances of becoming a bloodsucker. #folklore #mythology #weird #history #vampire #vampires #paranormal #gothic #death

Hi! I'm glad this is going around again. I wrote it. I also wrote the Appendix For Considerate Play.

I also wish Paradox had not continually boxed me out of further WoD work and used my writing as a shield for bullshit like Bloodstained Love in the years since but here we are. #vtm #vampire
