a black and white and red line sketch of maria the vampire. The pov is coming from below kinda, she is looking down at the viewer, while she is wiping her mouth covered in blood, vampire teeth exposed. A bleeding bite mark appears on her right shoulder.

a black, white and red line sketch of Lola, Maria's on and off again gf, has this old hollywood look to her, basically you get angelina jolie turn her into a vampire and add sazon. She holds her neck that shows part of a bleeding bite mark, the other hand wiping her face covered in blood. Her vampire teeth expose.

Minus the heart eyes~

Fun fact and for lore reasons, they wouldn't be able to do this, they would both be dead lmao. This was pure self-indulgence on my part skksks

Dracula: Start Here - The Essential Marvel Echoes Primer Origin Spark: From Warlord to Vampire Lord Long before he was a creature of the night, he was Vlad Țepeș Dracula, son of Vlad Dracul and the man who would become Dracula. Born in 1430 in Transylvania, he was a prince, a brilliant military strategist, and an utterly ruthless warlord. His life was defined by a brutal campaign against the Ottoman Empire, and his reputation for cruelty was already legendary. This complex, violent, and aristocratic human life, which forms the bedrock of his character, is often revisited, but was explored in detail in stories like Dracula Lives #2 (1973). His mortal life ended in 1459. After being mortally wounded on the battlefield, the dying prince was taken to a Romani healer named Lianda. But Lianda was no ordinary mystic—she was a vampire. Seeing in Vlad a perfect vessel of arrogance and power, she "saved" him by damning him, turning him into the Lord of the Vampires. This pivotal transformation, his dark baptism, was chronicled in a key flashback in The Tomb of Dracula #13 (Vol. 1) (1973). Dracula's first act as an immortal was to rise, reject Lianda's control, and destroy her. He was no one's pawn. For the next 500 years, he cut a bloody swath across history, consolidating his power as the uncontested King of the Undead. He battled fellow immortals like Apocalypse in the 19th century, as seen in the 2006 miniseries X-Men: Apocalypse vs. Dracula #1-4 and created other powerful vampires who would plague heroes into the modern day, like Baron Blood, who first appeared in The Invaders #8 (Vol. 1) (1976). His modern reign of terror, however, didn't begin until he was resurrected in the 20th century. In a classic "be careful what you wish for" moment, a descendant of Dracula's, Frank Drake, traveled to Castle Dracula and unwittingly revived his ancient ancestor in The Tomb of Dracula #1 (Vol. 1) (1972). This single act unleashed the greatest supernatural threat the modern Marvel Universe had ever known. Dracula didn't just return; he became the protagonist-villain of his own epic. He was immediately hunted by a new generation of mortals, including Frank Drake himself, the courageous Rachel van Helsing, and Quincy Harker. But his resurrection also triggered the arrival of his greatest nemesis: Blade the Vampire-Hunter, who made his iconic debut in The Tomb of Dracula #10 (Vol. 1) (1973). Though he has been "killed" multiple times, Dracula's dark echo persists, always waiting in the shadows to reclaim his throne. Allies and Antagonists: The Prey and the Progeny Dracula doesn't have "friends," he has subjects, rivals, and prey. His story is defined by the very people who rise to fight him, and the dark legacy he has sired. Key Allies * Lilith: His powerful, demonic daughter, who lives under a curse that forces her to hunt him, yet often finds herself as a chaotic third party. * Xarus: His ambitious son, who (briefly) succeeded where all heroes failed by assassinating his father and uniting the Vampire Nation under his own banner. * The Vampire Nation: Dracula's "subjects," a collection of warring vampire sects that he rules through fear, power, and sheer force of will. * Deacon Frost: The rebellious vampire responsible for creating Blade, whose actions make him both a rival to Dracula and the source of his greatest enemy. Key Antagonists * Blade (Eric Brooks): The Daywalker. His mother was killed by Deacon Frost, and he has dedicated his entire life to one thing: making Dracula and his kind extinct. * Doctor Strange: The Sorcerer Supreme, and the one man who has held the ultimate weapon against Dracula—the Montesi Formula, a spell capable of destroying every vampire on Earth. * Rachel van Helsing: The granddaughter of the legendary Abraham van Helsing, a fierce and brilliant hunter who dedicated her life to ending Dracula. * Frank Drake: The last living descendant of Dracula, who rejected his dark lineage to hunt his ancestor alongside the van Helsing crew. * Hannibal King: A private eye who was turned into a vampire, but who resisted his urges and used his powers for good, becoming a key ally to Blade and Doctor Strange. Resonance Arcs: Chronicles of the Undying Dracula debuted in the 1970s, giving him five decades of stories. Here are the five essential arcs that define him. The Tomb of Dracula (1972–1979) This is it. The big one. The 70-issue series by writer Marv Wolfman and artist Gene Colan isn't just a comic; it's a masterpiece of gothic horror. It’s less a "story arc" and more a grand, sprawling soap opera that just happens to star the Lord of Vampires. This series is the foundation. It introduced Blade, Hannibal King, and the entire van Helsing/Drake/Harker crew. Colan’s shadowy, atmospheric art and Wolfman’s layered writing gave Dracula a depth he'd never had before: he was arrogant, tragic, romantic, and monstrous, all at once. This is where he became a true Marvel icon. The Montesi Formula: Doctor Strange (Vol. 2) #60-62 (1983) This is the story that "ended" the Dracula saga for most of the 1980s. After Dracula proves too powerful to defeat physically, Doctor Strange teams up with the Avengers and the remaining vampire hunters to find a permanent solution. They unearth the "Montesi Formula," a spell from the forbidden book of magic, the Darkhold. By casting it, Strange doesn't just kill Dracula; he eradicates all vampires from the face of the Earth. It was a stunning, definitive ending that showed just how high the stakes were. Of course, "permanent" in comics is never forever, but it cemented Dracula's status as a world-ending threat. The Vampire Bride: Uncanny X-Men Annual #6 (1982) Want a perfect, self-contained story showing Dracula's arrogance? This is it. Written by the legendary Chris Claremont, this annual sees Dracula target one of the most powerful women on Earth to be his new bride: the X-Man, Storm. He senses her inner turmoil and lures her in, turning her into a vampire. The story is a brilliant clash of genres, pitting the X-Men's superheroics against Dracula's gothic power. It perfectly demonstrates Dracula's core motivation—to possess and control—and his ultimate weakness: underestimating the human (and mutant) spirit. The Ancient Enemy: X-Men: Apocalypse vs. Dracula #1-4 (2006) This four-issue miniseries by Frank Tieri dives deep into Marvel's secret history. Set in 1897, it reveals a previously unknown war between two of Marvel's most powerful immortals. When Apocalypse's "Clan Akkaba" (his descendants) is targeted by a new, powerful force, he discovers it's Dracula's Vampire Nation. This story is pure, high-octane lore. It pits ancient mutant power against ancient supernatural evil, establishing that Dracula has been a major player on the Marvel stage for centuries, long before the Avengers ever assembled. The Moon Invasion: Captain Britain and MI-13 #10-15 (2009) After years in the shadows, Dracula returned for his biggest power play ever. In this arc by writer Paul Cornell, Dracula isn't just a monster; he's a general. He gathers his vampire armies, establishes a fortress on the moon (yes, really), and prepares for a full-scale invasion of the United Kingdom. This arc is a showcase of Dracula's strategic brilliance and terrifying power, forcing the UK's entire roster of heroes—from Captain Britain to Blade—into a desperate war for their nation's survival. It's a modern classic that proves Dracula is at his most dangerous when he stops hiding and wages open war. Legacy and Echoes: A Bloody Inheritance Dracula's influence isn't just measured in his victims, but in the heroes and villains he has inspired. * Blade: The most significant "echo" of Dracula's evil, Blade's entire life as a hunter is a direct reaction to the vampiric world Dracula rules. * The Midnight Sons: The entire supernatural corner of the Marvel Universe was built around Dracula's legacy; this team (including Ghost Riders (Blaze and Ketch), Blade, and Morbius) was originally formed to fight Lilith, and by extension, the dark world her father created. * Xarus: Dracula's son, who proved that even his own bloodline would carry on his legacy of ambition and betrayal. * Frank Drake: His human descendant, who serves as a living echo of the man Vlad could have been, proving that his bloodline could also produce a hero. The Primer: Essential Dracula Reading List Ready to dive in? While many of these are out of print, these are the collections to hunt for to get the complete picture. * The Tomb of Dracula Omnibus Vol. 1 (2008): This is the holy grail. It collects the first 31 issues of the 1970s series, plus his debut in "Suspense" and other early appearances. * Doctor Strange vs. Dracula: The Montesi Formula (2006): This trade paperback collects the entire "Montesi Formula" saga, including the key Doctor Strange issues. * Captain Britain and MI-13 Vol. 3: Vampire State (2009): This collects the full "Moon Invasion" arc (issues #10-15) and is a perfect modern Dracula story. * X-Men: Apocalypse vs. Dracula (2006): This trade collects the full four-issue miniseries, a must-read for fans of Marvel's deep lore. He's waiting. It's time to open the tomb.

I just had one of those thoughts about vampire lore...If they can't enter a home with invite, why don't they just burn down the home?

Like some hunters use smoke to scare out prey, why wouldn't vampires do a similar thing?

Before the city vampire, were they cave vampires? What was their structure like?

Would they co-evolve with humans as cousin species? Would this mean that there were vampires who were out-competed??
