Napping, it was daylight! 11 hours ago, LilithDesdemonia said: Recently I have created a new avatar in SL for vampire activities (so I'm not new to sl) and looking for inspiration to it. My main interest is getting to know about the possibilities to live as a vampire and looking for active places for it. I hope here are some vampires or people who know more and could tell me something. I don't want to rp but I would like to know what the so called bloodlines are and know more about the family communities. As I love music I would appreciate sims to visit too. Feel free to give me a nudge in-world or via PM for any questions regarding Bloodlines, only thing I don't really do is the 'community' bit (why congregate with the competition?). 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnilWay SpiritWeaver Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 19 hours ago, Randy Pole said: Bloodlines is a pyramid scheme designed to force people to pay L$ for content and prey upon others to gain power. You do not need Bloodlines or any other system to play the part of a vampire. Bloodlines and Progeny both have tainted names in the minds of land owners due to the unwelcome antics of some of their participants. I was thinking about something similar to the OP's question myself just a few days back: How to go about making a vampire kit for a look for my avatar. That came about because I was noticing how hard it is to notice the fangs option on my mesh head's teeth and then my mind started to wander because I think I watched a dozen different entire vampire TV shows during pandemic lockdown after I had "finished" Netflix... There's a LOT of vampire fiction out there, and yet the Vampire scene in SL seems so... lacking and near non-existent. And I think Bloodlines holds most of the blame for that. Bloodlines made having a Vampire look in SL an almost toxic thing. You'd be more accepted as a blue naked furry randomly bumping into people with a giant male-member who puts the word "yiff" into every sentence at least 3 times than as a fairly banal vampire dressed in everyday clothes and doing not much of anything... Vampire in SL has come to mean "scumbag griefer cult-fanatic jerk". Which is just sad. Bloodlines ruined the entire concept of Vampires for much of SL. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, and: many of this style are also characterized by particularly nasty teeth (all sharp, not just the bicuspid "fangs"). That addition of the "nasty, big pointy teeth" (Monty Python reference) makes them seem more "threatening" then vampires without similar teeth.

Mouth full of needles, yup that's her, though her habit of wearing mechanical finger blades, and hair with sensor antenna, adds to the feel too.

Ayashe Ninetails Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 All this is making me want to buy yet another new head. *sighs and adds it to the weekend shopping list*. Well, at least this one's cheap. Teeth aside, there's also the whole "300 years old" dusty look, and I was already buying a head I could do that with so...I guess I'm making a vampy. Two vampies, perhaps. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missed opportunity! I've seen some absolutely wicked-looking avatars fairly recently. Not necessarily vampires, but definitely belonging to the general Undead and/or creature/monster category. I rarely see them in-world outside of events, but Flickr has quite a ton of creativity on that front if you go poking through the fantasy and horror groups. Even still - finding truly unappealing and dare I say unattractive (or even horrifying, grotesque, what-the-what) avatars is a bit rare. I've seen a couple here and there (and there are heads that make this VERY easy), but they are definitely needles in the big ole dark fantasy haystack. I make some nightmare fuel on occasion, and I know a few people who style themselves that way (one clown-lover in particular, GAH), but most people seem quite locked-in to the "must be pretty no matter what - even if I'm dead as hell" thing. Shame! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if he's my "most favorite" vampire in "What we do in the shadows", or my "least favorite". Lots of clips with him on TikTok.. I had recognized the actor from "Better Call Saul". ETA: Assuming he's the same guy. Hard to tell from the picture! Edited September 28, 2023 by Love Zhaoying 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
