A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

People often shit themselves when they die... Do vampires when they get turned from alive to undead?? This is important lore to consider

Since vampires no longer digest food it would seem that evacuating their bowels would be a practical event during their conversion. I agree this lore should be reflected upon more.

It's actually the incentive for new vampires to be made. During the turning process food is curtled and turned into a special type of feces Wine liquor. Patron vampires then spend the turning process Licking the rich secretions from the vassal vampires anus.

Really the whole thing is an intimate and beautiful process.

Why would you write something like this?

Some people just want to watch the world burn.

I have never wanted to un-read something so bad in my entire life. That's in my head now, and it's all your fault, and I curse you forever because of it.

It is definitely covered by Anne Rice.

[–] SidewaysHighways@lemmy.world 8 points 19 hours ago

I was gonna say I thought I remembered something about this in one of the books

[–] netvor@lemmy.world 1 points 15 hours ago

Why would it be "practical" to do it during the conversion?

They could just go to the toilet like normal people (before or after).

I mean, I don't plan to eat anymore until tomorrow, therefore it's practical that I shit myself now?
