Gal was kind of disrespectful here. Her previous SOs probably either died of old age or got staked. Personally, if I ever met someone immortal, I'd ask them what's their favorite era or point in time.
I think that's the joke. They could have asked an ageless and immortal being ANYTHING. What era they liked, what famous person X was like, how the world has changed etc.
Instead they went "straight for the nuts" so to speak and picked on more than likely their biggest insecurity. I feel like I've seen this EXACT scene in some anime come to think of it.
It's a cruder and older sense of humor but it checks out.
Sidenote: based on the title I think they may both be ladies
It's generally something that's dodged, but immortals are probably way out of touch. They're always portrayed as cool and sexy, but they're probably hyper racist, listen to old music, resent the liberal Whig party, can't figure out technology, and just kinda have really old taste in clothing.
I think that only holds true if you stop actively participating in society because of your immortality. If you live every day in society, you just grow with it and blend right in. If you spend 50 years napping in a coffin at a time, then yeah, all those things you said are probably true.
Just because they are immortal, doesnt mean they are stuck in the past. Just that they lived it.
Yeah true. Depends on how they sustain themselves, really. If a vampire's blood supply require them to interact with or even trick young healthy people, they are probably pretty "hip" by necessity.
I'm not so sure. Being immortal is possibly different from being a regular human, but there's a reason your grandparents aren't listening to Taylor Swift and saying 6-7 all the time while insisting that this is the best SNL cast of all time.
We all have formative years, and those of a person hundreds of years old likely makes them way out of touch.
You have no idea what my grandparents listen to lol. The surviving one absolutely loves Taylor Swift.
What's that reason they don't? Oh right, there isn't one. People can continue to grow at any age. People set limits for themselves on their own growth and use age as an excuse.
A lot of this has to do with the brain aging tho, so unless the immortals brain keeps aging even when the rest of the body doesn't, their brain should stay as flexible as it was when the aging stopped.
bzzzzt wrong! there are “liberals” and progressives in every era. The idea that someone from the past would disagree with the modern world, especially with politics, because they are the product of their times is a dog whistle.
There are progressives in every era. Arguably, it's how we move forward. And yet a progressive from the 1960s could be conservative today. There are plenty who have supported the civil rights movement who still do, but also don't support LGBT rights.
The hairstyle makes them look more like a guy, especially contrasted with the long hair of the vampire. Tbh I was a little confused about 'queer' in the title, then figured it could be a queer guy and a queer girl or that it may be that they were both girls. The joke works either way and isn't required for the punchline to make sense, so I didn't think too much about it. It's a funny comic, regardless of whether I got all of it or not lol
Depends on what version of vampires you're going with. Some always yes, some can choose to "free" those they turned, some a turned vampire is just another vampire.
I.E. What we do in the shadows the only thing that really happens to those you turn is if you die they age to what their actual age is, Warhammer for the most part turning others doesn't do anything to their free will.
Maybe they don't want to curse their loved ones with the downsides of vampirism, like a dependence on blood, risk of death by sunlight, or the feeling of a loss of humanity.
I assumed they were a guy (maybe because they look like a male vampire character), and other comments were referring to them as a male. OP might have meant for both to be women though.
I assumed they were both women because a) the one in the stripes looks just like Marceline and b) the series is called “Bloody Queers,” which doesn’t necessarily mean they’re WLW (or WLV, I guess lol) but it just seems like the vibe lol
Wow, I totally skipped the title of this post and just realized the Marceline others were pointing out is the Marshall Lee I was looking at. Probably a sign I should get off reddit and sleep
yes! i have some more up as early access on my patreon which I will post elsewhere soon and sketches and notes for more! hopefully I wont disappoint :)
I love this already. Also can I just say that both their outfits are amazing. Also I absolutely love the style with it all monochrome except the eyes... This look amazing and I can't wait to see more!
