  • sometimes, a vampire just has to sing
    Many years ago, Brian David Gilbert and Jonah Scott talked about how most of ABBA's music could be sung by Halloween villains. This year, they turned that 3 minute conversation into a full album.

      Yeah, and the lyrics that imply a one-true-pairing, monogamous relationship in the new context would mean he's going to subsist on this person exclusively and stop generally hurting other people who don't consent. It's really rather touching, if a bit possessive and intense.

      @@MoonShadowWolfe yesssss… I really love the sense of vulnerability and fear from this character who is clearly not used to being made to feel this way. And the fact that it’s (presumably) a regular human person who has undone him to the point of begging for them to be with him exclusively…. I don’t know, I just find it absolutely beautiful.

    For reasons I truly don’t understand, this is 100% unironically the favorite song of my 5 year old and 2 year old. The 2 year old demands it on every car ride although he has a hard time saying vampire song so he kinda just yells “Sapphire!” at me until I put this on. This is not just an October thing either. This is just the peak of music to them. I’m so proud.
