Hmm. Now I'm worried that the wedding gift I gave this spring wasn't "enough", but I think I need to let it go. (It was a really nice picture frame, from India, and a little wooden carving of an elephant. The elephant was for good luck and new beginnings, and also 'cause, hey, elephant!)
Yeah... That went well.

That's a thoughtful gift. Picture frames are always good gifts because they are useful.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Except maybe to vampires.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Wait wait wait. We know now that it's not that vampires don't photograph (even in the 50s when cameras still worked via mirrors); it's that they don't photograph well.

I'm also confident that money as a gift is always appreciated, whatever anyone thinks of the custom.
true. I just think that it's tacky to ask for it. If the future Mr. Vortex (wherever the hell he is) has a family or cultural tradition of a money dance, I'll be uncomfortable with it, but I'll do it. I might draw the line at the pinning of money, though. How about a nice basket?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That sounds perfect, Kate.

Well then, they still wouldn't need picture frames, as what vampire is gonna frame a crappy picture?

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
If you'd never seen your vampire self in a mirror, how would you know it was a crappy picture?
And I'm sorry if my comment made anyone feel uncomfortable. I didn't realize it would be taken so generally.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Besides, maybe they're framing pictures of their prey -- a particularly tasty meal, perhaps.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
sigh. I am going to be eaten by laundry. I better do the folding now, while the baby is asleep.
