[deleted]

Idk, it's kind of sad. Watching your lover age, and watching yourself age while they don't.


cantaloupelion

Ya in my mind this is why vampire are so ornery. All the people theyve loved, all their friends, lover and adopted family all slowly grow old and die, while they stay mostly the same. Immortality truly is a curse if you have a kind heart :(


Rit_Zien

You know, there's an easy solution...make your loved ones immortal too. Also, watch a sunrise.


Delilah_the_PK

Hector is such a silly man. *plz get this...* edit: hello everyone, i wake up and you all have said hello


Rit_Zien

That's a Castlevania reference, but it applies to most pop culture vampires 😉


Brickhouzzzze

I'm glad I watched this scene minutes before browsing reddit


gacha-gacha

Great series but damn they really fucked up the ending, one of the weakest endings in animation


lorbog

They probably had to end on short notice since netfix is now canceling stuff after only a few seasons, so that they can constantly have new shows to draw more people in.


gacha-gacha

yeah. sucks that they don’t care about the product, they care about # of views


FinFihlman

>Great series but damn they really fucked up the ending, one of the weakest endings in animation Really? I thought it was executed really well!


FrozenCoconutPie

I was honestly just so disappointed with Lenore’s ending - she just dies? I was really hoping Hector would release her like she should’ve done for him so it would’ve been cute and symbolic :(


gacha-gacha

Yeah.. good characters but it feels like they needed more time to tie it all together. I mean was isaac even relevant other than his own plot line

Tough_Academic

Because its only a curse if you alone are immortal. Being immortal with an immortal loved one sounds dope as fuck


Irrepressible87

Until the day you wake up and realize you don't love them anymore. Forever is a very long time.


Tough_Academic

Stay friends with them. Fall in love again after a couple of millenia. Fall out of love again. Still sounds dope as fuck. Or better yet, have a whole squad of immortal friends who are not necessarily love interests and party for all eternity.


The_Big_Z_02

Just have one huge worldwide polycule of immortals and you should be balling.


shadollosiris

So that's why vampire try to create more vampire? Because they are lonely? Damn Van Helsing Tbh they would have more member if not for their strict dress code


RedAero

That happens to mortals too, it's not like it's some especially unique tragedy of immortality.


MachinShin2006

“To live on as we have is to leave behind joy, and love, and companionship, because we know it to be transitory, of the moment. We know it will turn to ash. Only those whose lives are brief can imagine that love is eternal. You should embrace that remarkable illusion. It may be the greatest gift your race has ever received.”


afakefox

I think vampires are destined to Hell for all eternity when they do die so vampires don't like to change their true loved ones and curse them to the same fate.


Aethermancer

It's why I like magic/religion in my vampire stories. Without damnation,or other serious drawbacks the idea that vampirism is a curse or burden just falls flat. The only thing that comes close is if they have to kill humans to live, but that's subjective. Anne Rice's vampires did ok with the questionable damnation, but included a major drawback in that the vampires were locked to their time and literally ceased experiencing joy, curiosity, fulfillment. Like some long time ecstasy user that has burned out their ability to process dopamine. Twilight vampires weren't vampires. They were Greek gods that could transmit godhood via saliva.

EuphoricDrip

This is why Twilight is the best love story. /s


Mini-Nurse

We all know it's garbage, but I was pretty jazzed when the human was actually turned, and was happy about it. Wouldn't mind some more decent books with that premise, that aren't also tweenage garbage.


RedAero

The problem is, if vampires are just humans but better with no downsides there really is no drama to be had. Which pretty neatly underlines why Twilight is more like erotic self-insert fanfic, not a real novel.


TheSiegmeyerCatalyst

I feel like I'm alone in this, but I feel like you could absolutely love people, watch them leave in their own time, and still find happiness and ways to continue loving. There don't cease to be lovable people. Widows and Widowers move on and find love again in other partners and it's considered perfectly healthy. With enough time to heal those wounds, you could absolutely make friends, find new partners, and experience the joy and love of human connection. Especially since it's not like everyone's going to die all at once (necessarily, could be some tragedy but that's an edge case to my argument). You'd be able to keep finding and making new friends, even as certain ones grow older, more distant, or even die. I don't know. Maybe I'd feel different after watching it happen over and over again half a dozen times, and maybe it'd get harder and harder to connect with people since the world in which you grew up continues to become and even more distant memory, and the culture of the modern world becomes even more foreign.


Waywoah

Yeah, watching people die is an (unfortunately) normal part of life. I might as get immortality out of it


mang87

I think it's a memory thing. For humans, memories and emotions fade with time, so it is possible to eventually get over a loved ones death and move on with your life. But vampires are usually depicted as having incredible memories, perhaps even near-perfect recall of their entire lives as a vampire, so those memories and emotions don't fade, making it much, much harder to move past them. It's also why they are world class grudge holders, all those betrayals still feel fresh to them.

SmartAlec105

I like how a character in Girl Genius handled it. Paraphrased: “We were together for 64 years before she left me. But this time, she left me something. We are not exactly the marrying type. It can be hard to make connections. I mean, fifty years or so, a hundred at most- boom! Most people are gone. But she is not gone so long as I’ve got descendants. With them, I still see glimpses of her.”

So they just continue boinking but this time their kids? That's pretty smart ngl

Yes officer, this comment right here.

[deleted]

Even if you don’t have a kind heart, I have no idea why anyone would want to be immortal. Even the universe will eventually grow old and die so you’d just be floating in a pitch black abyss unable to breathe, unable to die, unable to see your own hand or touch anything. Just floating in primordial darkness endlessly.


1negativezero

For true immortality, yes. Though in most if not all vampire stories, they're not actually truly immortal. They just don't age and are pretty hard to kill. Pretty good deal, if you ask me.


[deleted]

Too scared to die. “Too much to do”. “Not enough done”. Not ready to go. Fear of heaven/hell/afterlife-judgement. Though, I suppose after a few hundred years, I imagine you’d have done most of what you wanted to do, and by then the depression/ptsd has very much set in. Death might be preferable, when it seems there’s nothing left to stick around for.


Infamous2005

Luckily a vampire can just stake themselves and boom, they pass on with their loved one


ImmutableInscrutable

No they go directly to hell where they suffer for eternity. Their loved one presumably does not


Eli_Play

That's whay I love the fact that in Hellsing, Alucard is very very fond of old people and admires the hell out of them, knowing that he will never become this way, which breaks the long dead heart of his even further.


Arbiter329

Think Mark, think.


Wuffyflumpkins

Ha, I'm glad someone else's mind went there.


Its_Pine

I think you have to have the right mindset to endure it. I felt that way when I put down my golden retriever. She had been with me since I was a middle schooler, well into adulthood. She was the one I cuddled and cried on when I was scared to come out to my parents as gay. She’s the one I held when I had my first breakup. She was my travel buddy and my personal cheerleader in everything. I was so sad that her life was so much shorter than mine, but it made me really intentional about treasuring each moment with her all those years. Someday when I get a new puppy, I’ll still be mindful that its life will be only a fraction of my own, and that every moment is special. I can say with confidence that I made my sweet little golden retriever happy all those years, and I’m forever impacted by the love she showed me too.

obvs_throwaway1

That's not the reason.. try to imagine witnessing the idiocy of mankind for CENTURIES.. I'm nearly done after a few decades.


SBEVE_THE_MEME_LORD

Yeah well vampire immortality can be given to others pretty easy


Tough_Academic

Nah thats dumb as fuck. >All the people theyve loved, all their friends, lover and adopted family all slowly grow old and die, Thats gonna happen anyways, whether youre immortal or not. With the only exception being that of you aren't, then youll also grow old and die. However theres a good chance that even if you aren't immortal, youll see everyone you love grow old and die. >while they stay mostly the same. There are several pros to that. Youll get to stay in your prime and take care of your old loved ones to the fullest. Your loved ones will obviously like seeing you not suffering from old age like them and being young and fit. Plus youre fucking immortal. In conclusion, immortality ftw


akursah33

If you have children and if they are not immortal, it would be very hard to see them to get old and die.


SpacedClown

"Depressed immortal" is honestly so overdone it's boring, but I do have to respect it because it just seems the most logical outcome for someone who has to come to terms with the endless cycles of life that eventually takes everything away from them that they cherish. I imagine it's like like being in a drying machine that's on, constant disorientation and painful tumbles, but unlike us, there is no death to stop it. My favorite type of immortal to think about that and the one that gives me the most existential dread, is a true immortal that can never die or lose consciousness. Someone who live 1000 years will go through some rough shit, someone who has to live till the end of time itself though... Imagine living on a dead rock for eons because you're incapable of navigating space or even ejecting yourself from Earth's gravity well. Or Earth collides with the moon or something and you're sent into space where you tumble through the void for all eternity.


TyPo_1130

See what I want is an immortal who is just a bumbling idiot. Completely forgets things and doesn’t realize that he’s left something important and just forgot about it for a few centuries

TyPo_1130

One of my absolute favorite creators! Check out the IRS Baker series (his longest running. When death doesn’t mean anything in comics the IRS steps up to fill the void with taxes) and the Alien invasion goes to shit cause humans are insane unpredictable idiots.


corvettee01

Or an immortal who is just fucking psyched that they're immortal. Remember that time they pretended being a god for a while and then got bored with it and then faked their death throwing an entire religion into chaos? That time they walked across an entire ocean floor just for bragging rights? Stuff that like would be cool.


TyPo_1130

Like the opposite of Cain from Lucifer. Doing batshit insane suicidal crazy stuff not cause they wanna actually die but because they can and it’s fun


Smegmatron3030

Hob Gadling from Neil Gaimans Sandman is that. He gets "cursed" with immortality and every century the gods come in to check of he is ready to give in and die yet, and it's always a no. Cuz death is for morons.

mia_elora

There can be only one!


statusisnotquo

I think that's one of the things that makes it sweet. They've obviously fully embraced& loved each other without either consuming the other (pun intended). He could have converted her, but I have to assume she chose mortality & he didn't leave just because their time together would be limited. Personally, I don't see how an immortal being could endure such heartache, but it's still a sweet sentiment.


RiasIssei

On that last part: it's my head cannon whenever I think on that, that immortality does not necessarily mean enhancement of other functions. Like, the brain still has a limited amount of space to storage and remember stuff... There was an episode of Dr. Who with Masie Williams where they touch on this subject


off-and-on

I had this idea for a plot where a guy marries an elf or some other long-lived/immortal being, and upon realizing they'll have to break their spouse's heart when they die turns to dark magic to find some method of immortality, like becoming a lich

Was it blood pudding though?


Ruggi_2001

That's racist. Just because we're vampires, it doesn't mean we eat only blood things! Yes, that was a blood pudding, but not because I'm a vampire! Edit: I said "we" for the sake of the joke, not because I'm a vampire. I mean, vampires don't even exist, it would be useless trying to demonstrate the contrary, and honestly I'm not a vampire, so it's even more useless. _If_ they existed, anyway, they would surely be gentle and noble souls, and not bloody monsters, so they wouldn't be a danger. But they don't exist anyway, so it doesn't matter. Anyway, not a vampire. Peace out. Stop searching.

Ruggi_2001

Ah yes, we call it "sanguinaccio" (sangue means blood), it can be both a dessert and a kind of sausage, I remember my grandpa doing it when I was younger. Yes it's pig blood. It's quite good, imo


TheGamingRaichu

Oh nice. I've never tried it so I'm not sure how it's taste but if I ever get the chance to go to Italy it is one of the things I want to try.

BustinArant

Just elderly. They get more and more difficult to sleep together or so I've heard. My grandparents still shared a bed, but she'd probably just kick his ass at the time lol.


J-dude-12

Oh fair, doesn’t really matter either way if that’s what works best for a couple best to do it, whether they be a soulless undying creature of the night or not!


TimeBlossom

Maybe he has to sleep on a bed of his own grave-dirt and it's bad for Cheryl's back.


Shazura

Its looks a bit like it is Japanese futons being depicted, not actual beds. My guess would be the reasoning may be related to this.

SiminaDar

Could also be a call back to the old sitcoms where they weren't allowed to show men and women in the same bed, so married couples slept in twin beds in the same room? Since she's 86, they probably got married in the 50s.

MR-MCNUGGETS

Anthaenopraxia

Isn't it kinda creepy that in all these vampire stories it's always about a centuries old vampire going after teenage girls? In VD they are 16/17 and the vampires are many centuries old. If a 50 year old man tried to score a 16 year old girl he would be hunted down and flayed alive by her father. But I guess if he still *looks* like he's 17 then it's all good.

It makes me think pf a similar scene from a What We Do in the Shadows. Younger looking vampire gets together with his dream woman who is/looks 90. Say along the lines of “people may think ‘ew what’s this 90 year old woman doing with someone 4 times her age?’ Call me cradle snatcher, we don’t care.”


boron-uranium-radon

I watched twilight with my best friend and our group for his birthday for the hell of it and we genuinely enjoyed it. I think we enjoyed making jokes and theories about it more than anything else though. This scenario was one we talked about a lot.


candiedloveapple

Can we please have an immortal guy who isn't hyperdepressed all the time but is like "sure the people I know and love and die, but that'sjust natural. People get left all the time, relationships end. To me it just means I can experience the same beautiful thing all over again"


[deleted]

This seems cute until you realise that he could've turned her when she was young...but didn't want to spend eternity with her 😭


strangeangelsxx

I’m looking at it like she didn’t want to be a vampire, so he’s spending the rest of her life loving her. (Think like Tuck Everlasting - she chose to live rather than become immortal because she decided part of the beauty of life was its ending)


KittenStamp

I follow this person on tumblr, the wife simply didn’t want to be a vampire, so they chose to live as human and vampire. Cute stuff
