    This summer I decided to watch every vampire movie ever created, and I was talking with my research advisor about it... I mentioned how many lesbians exist in vampire movies, especially in the 1960s/70s, and he explained that at the time being a lesbian was considered viral, something you could become ill with, so it was exploited in horror films about catching vampirism (lesbians being equally as terrifying as sanguine creatures).

    • @shashatainment
      @shashatainment  17 дней назад +2

      yes, being a lesbian has been other’ed and portrayed as a threat quite often! as far as i remember jessica kellgren-fozard discusses that in the video i put in the extras playlist in the description! would you mind sharing your research question/hypothesis?? cause i think that’s very interesting!!

    • @AC-dk4fp
      @AC-dk4fp 16 дней назад +3

      To be honest I think its more just that Carmilla gave film makers a 'literary' excuse for making exploitation films. British censors put a stop to Hammer portraying Lesbian relationships in their Carmilla sequels the moment the films stopped being adaptations. You only really find a lot of them if you go to every European country looking for them.
      There are a lot of Lesbian coded characters who are 'vampiric' in a more metaphorical sense that fit the demonisation explanation but sometimes it seems Lesbian Vampires get to be more sympathetic than living ones.
      'The Hunger' is an 80s film and has a much clearer infectious lesbianism angle than the Carmilla novella or most of the adaptations (I haven't seen the Italian ones which is most of them).

    One of my favourite things about bi people and vampires is that the first time (or one of the first times) the word 'bisexual' was used in a video game was in 2001, in metal gear solid 2: sons of liberty.
    In the game, Solid Snake is describing a man that is pale, imortal, has great speed and reflexes and drinks blood, the man in question is called Vamp. Because he's a vampire, right? No, its because he's bi.
    I find it amazing that the first time someone was explictely called bisexual in a video game, the guy was a vampire and in the most bisexual game franchise I've ever played.

    Thank you for mentioning Polidori, I feel like he's often overshadowed by Stoker. I would like to add two more works to the early queer vampire lore. Christabel by Samuel Taylor Coleridge is an unfinished poem about some kind of demonic woman who seduces another woman. Since it's unfinished, it's unclear if she is a vampire, but Carmilla (Christabel being often called inspiration for it) is explicitly about lesbian vampire. Both were published before Dracula, Christabel even before The Vampyre! Byron knew Coleridge, having visited him and Wordsworth when there were living together in Lake District. Highly recommend reading both Christabel and Carmilla, they're very similar, I feel like Carmilla is what Christabel would look like if Coleridge had finished his poem. Gothic, erotic and also pretty gay 🖤🦇

    • @shashatainment
      @shashatainment  21 день назад +1

    • @AC-dk4fp
      @AC-dk4fp 16 дней назад +1

      I subscribe to the theory that Carmilla was an attempt to provide an ending to Christabel but the ending of Christabel implies that Geraldine just used the eponymous heroine to gain access to her dad so I'm not sure she counts as a Lesbian Vampire. Le Fanu doesn't use any of the plot elements set up but not employed in Christabel he just reworks the basic premise.
      But I'm a mostly straight guy trying to write a Christabel adaptation in spite of thinking animated mummies and skeletons are cooler than vampires so what do I know.

      ​​@@shashatainment I'm so glad you asked. Basically, vampires came from humans, so their need to continuously feed would be the same as _our_ continuous need to feed. The average human has around 10 pints of blood. However, the average human stomach can hold about a quart of liquid. That's roughly half a pint. I'm assuming a vampire can only drink fresh blood, and _isn't_ keeping a pantry of victims, and probably has spit with anti-coagulation as a feature. (By the way, you can lose about 14% of your blood before it becomes an issue.) The initial feeding won't kill you, the being left to bleed out _will._ 3+ meals a day base line to keep healthy, plus snacks will be at _least_ 3 people a day. This is why they're such a problem and have to go, because small Romanian villages don't have the population to support a vampire.

    I think people love the charisma the clasic Vampire has. Count Dracula was heterosexual but he speak with a calm and soft tone of voice with both boys and girls that makes you think "Is he's hitting on me or just beeing friendly?" Same with Carmilla of Styria that was strictly lesbian when she bites her maidens and Laura but could mask her preference among everyone else.

    • @shashatainment
      @shashatainment  19 дней назад

      this is a valid take, especially if we consider how Othering can be used to depict the character as „exotic“ and more interesting, giving them an edge in a way :)

    This was so good! I didn't even think about Jennifer's Body as a vampire story but it really is! A lot to think about there!
    What We Do In The Shadows really speaks to me because the queer characters aren't "good representation." They're messy. They're complicated and even outright bad people. They suck at communication. Their polycule is gross. They're embezzling and doing insurance fraud. They're bisexual idiots. They're just like me fr.

    My heart aches every time I meet vampire lovers, because they do not know Miss Christina, a female strigoi (vampire-adjacent demon being, a regional, Romanian variant of the og umpir or however were they called) from the story bearing the same name, written by Mircea Eliade. (There are also 2 movies but... I like the novella too much lmao. I havent seen them). Like she is so cool. She also was part of my awakening but she is so cool regardless. Like she is one of the only female strigoi I have ever met in stories, even though this is a modern piece of literature- shes cannon okay? I love her

    1:13:00 as a Brazilian I feel obligated to let people know that 9/11 also lead to the death of Portugal’s portuguese. a growing issue in portuguese homes has been the fact that young kids are now adopting Brazilian Portuguese due to the videos made by RUclipsr Lucas Neto. Lucas Neto is a Brazilian content creator that makes content for children, and he’s essentially a nepo brother - he only got his start on RUclips because of his brother, Felipe Neto, one of the most well known and successful Brazilian RUclipsrs of all time. And Felipe Neto only got his start on RUclips because he wanted to bitch about Twilight. So 9/11 is now responsible for Brazilians finally paying back Portugal for years of colonialism lmao

      I also really enjoy the visuals and different sets you did for all the segments. Especially that they fit the overall video theme and the individual parts so well!! It’s such an amazing detail and makes it was more interesting to watch.
      Buuuuut the video overall is still done in a way that makes the video fully functional to watch as a “podcast”. Which I appreciate as an option, since I often put on hours long videos while working on other things.
