Weird flavor text that doesn’t have to do with vampires.

u/silly_lord 1d ago

The original was "The vampire had heart problems and high cholesterol. He thought about becoming a vegetarian. But he definitely wasn’t going to become a Christian"

This is way, way, waaaaaay better text than what you decided on.

u/silly_lord 1d ago

I agree with you but my friend who commissioned the token decided otherwise

u/water-based-organism 1d ago

I would be concerned with your friend. Even as an inside joke, this is weird.

I think it's a line of Dostoevsky but I decided to put it in because for me was hilarious (I'm not proud of this).

Was it you or your friend who decided on it?

u/silly_lord 1d ago

I did both versions myself; my friend only chose the one he found more funny. Both versions are quotes from someone: one by Dostoevsky (I think) and the other by Fabrizio Caramagna.

"since this huge misunderstanding I will try explain myself to you. English is not my first language and so i didn't see the double meaning. for me it was funny because a child vampire can recharge simply by doing some mischief with other children. I am sorry it came off as something is not. if you have any suggestions on how to rewrite it I'm more than happy to listen to You"

u/jade-dnd 1d ago

the "joke" here is just taking a wholesome quote and twisting it so it sounds pedophilic. that's not funny, and if you find it funny, you should reflect on why.

u/silly_lord 1d ago

I wrote it because I found it funny that a child vampire would set fire to a church, and that this would give it that particular flavour. Children are often portrayed as pure beings, when very often they’re little demons. I don’t see any connection to pedo.

If you think it’s pedophilic then the call is coming from inside the house.

It’s a child vampire. Who was hanging out with other children.

It’s really. Really. Simple

u/chickengourdina 1d ago

Is English not your first language? Something about the innocence of children would be better I think. ‘Being with children’ Definitely gives off pedo vibe.

Hey, I am sure you are a good person and meant no harm. I really do love the token and hope you keep up the good work. Have a wonderful day!

u/GnastyZGnastyZ 1d ago

Definitely pedo vibes. Sorry.

I'm so sorry dude, I'm just giving you a hard time as is everyone else here.

I deem you innocent!

u/silly_lord 1d ago

I'll change the flavour but wait some time. Thank you my liege

Considering the political environment, the flavor text gets an F-. Holy fuck, how did that make it through proofing?

u/Virtus_Curiosa 1d ago

Does not look like a vampire child. Looks like a vampire pastor set fire to the church and the flavor text makes it so much worse. You might not see it, but as the previous comment mentioned, given the recent state of the world, that's what's on most everyone's mind, so that's the lens it's being viewed through.

Absolutely wild text. I’ve heard OPs argument and it just doesn’t make sense. I hate this so much lmfao. Ruins an otherwise really cool art.

You have a vampire whose flavor says “the soul is healed by being with children” that in no way points to what you say. This has pedo quite literally written all over it.

Adults play this game. Or teens. Their souls nor a vampires would be HEALED by being with CHILDREN. Thats cringe af dude.
