Wow, I didn’t know the words I’ve said were so spooky.
Can you use garlic as a contraceptive in this case?
I don’t know, can you?
Is that actually a standard vampire rule? I honestly thought that was something Adventure Time made up.
Yes, without permission it’s vampiric assault, a serious crime. Victims are coming forward more and more since the #Vtoo movement
If you were bitten against your will, you can’t become a vampire unless you want to.
I don’t know if you can call anything to do with fictional beings “standard”. All of it is subject to interpretation and the whims of the storyteller.
That said, while it tends to be absent from modern lore, it’s a very old rule as the other commenter said.
In American lore, they also have arithmomania, where they compulsively have to count things. So you’d throw some straw behind you to escape the vampire because it would have to stop and count the straw that you threw. That’s why The Count in Sesame Street is a Vampire who likes counting things.
Would the foetus be undead and count as a still birth?
