      Maybe the whole trope of “Vampire Lord manipulates thralls by promising to turn them into vampires, but never actually does it” is actually just because of ADHD causing them to never get round to it.

    Not all Draculas have castles, just Vampire because he was a Count.

      I have an urgent request for you.

      Yes, I have one there as well. I even need it a lot of the times, would improve my life somewhat if put together. But there has been no hint that this would be the year.

    I recently played Curse of Strahd and that dude had food that had been sitting out since before he was a vampire and entire rooms full of cobwebs.

    Connically they do! Or maybe something else

    If being chased by a vampire, the advice is scatter seeds on the ground, the vampire will be compelled to stop and count them

      “Canonically.”

      And this was pretty funny in The X-Files, when Mulder spilled sunflower seeds. The vampire drops to the floor and starts counting, spitting at him, “You dick!

        Hahaha, that’s awesome.

        I didn’t learn about this aspect of vampires till a couple years ago. I always wondered why the count on Sesame Street was a vampire.

          The slightly goofy Francis Ford Coppola adaptation both includes it and solves it. Van Helsing throws a bowl of grains into the air and Dracula names the total before they hit the ground.

      (Yes, that it’s a core part of adhd unfinished protects - it’s not that we don’t abandon some projects or just don’t want to do them, that to, but the memey is about the projects we would like to do, even enjoy, about projects we think about daily, about projects that give us anxiety through sheer fatigue of thinking about it for so long. We are exhausted.)
