Fun fact: one of the first books to depict vampires was about a lesbian vampire that prays on woman in the night. Carmilla written in (1871-72) by Sheridan Le Fanu is a tragic romance. This is a whole 25 years before the classic story of Dracula came to be.

[@ArsenFox]

And it IS better

[@diooverheaven6561]

Hey at least Dracula existed... And not vampire was much more terrifying.

[@MrNickPresley]

@@ArsenFox Better is subjective, because everyone knows Dracula and outside of a handful of people, nobody really knows about Carmilla at all. But if you really wanna talk about influence, let's take a look at how Nosferatu, despite being a ripoff of Dracula, managed to change vampire lore in pop culture basically forever. That whole sunlight weakness? Vampires didn't have it until Max Schreck got face-melted by the light of dawn on the silver screen.

[@jacobfoss7783]

@@MrNickPresley I've read the book Dracula and I remember that it was either the sun or a stake through the heart that killed Dracula. The brides of Dracula were killed in their coffins while they slept by Van Helsing with a stake through the heart of each one.

[@MrNickPresley]

@@jacobfoss7783 It was a bunch of people stabbing him to death that killed him. "As I looked, the eyes saw the sinking sun, and the look of hate in them [the gypsies] turned to triumph. But, on the instant, came the sweep and flash of Jonathan's great knife. I shrieked as I saw it shear through the throat; whilst at the same moment Mr. Morris's bowie knife plunged in the heart." --Dracula, ch. 27 He is shown at multiple points in the novel to be able to conduct business normally during the day, but can't use his powers. From chapter 18: "His power ceases, as does that of all evil things, at the coming of the day. Only at certain times can he have limited freedom. If he be not at the place whither he is bound, he can only change himself at noon or at exact sunrise or sunset. These things we are told, and in this record of ours we have proof by inference. Thus, whereas he can do as he will within his limit, when he have his earth-home,his coffin-home, his hellhome, the place unhallowed, as we saw when he went to the grave of the suicide at Whitby, still at other time he can only change when the time come. " Noon, sunrise, or sunset. Daylight only weakens him.

[@booktales1687]

I’m really loving the rise of wlw vampire content and this cover perfectly encapsulates that

[@xyzxyz4643]

Yes

[@chrisrudolf9839]

Except that the lyrics of the song aren't about vampire's at all, they are about being in love with the night itself, which is personified as a woman as a poetic allegory. Literally nothing about vampires or bloodsucking in there at all. (Though Justine isn't the first to underlay that song with vampire art).

[@sladearmison931]

Agreed

[@alexeistrife56]

@@chrisrudolf9839 Okay boomer.

[@chrisrudolf9839]

@@alexeistrife56 Okay, person who randomly assumes people's age on the internet and then insults them based on their assumption (we really need a short term for that other than the equally dumb term millenial). There are plenty of young people who are able to read and understand a text, too, you know? Though you apparently aren't, because you feel the need to insult me either because you didn't understand the lyrics or because you falsely assume that I somehow am against wlw vampire content (which I'm not, I just pointed out that the song doesn't have anything to do with that).

[@MrDominikee]

A cover of a voltaire song?! Not enough people know of him, he's such a good artist so I always lvoe seeing stuff like this! aa!

[@willieearles3151]

Agreed. I recall he also had his song "Cathouse Tragedy" covered by the Misbehavin' Maidens. That's the only other cover I know of though.

[@dawnmccarthy1]

I remember a pretty good fan animation of this song. Animator did a few animations. By Daria Cohen I think?

[@stonethered]

@@dawnmccarthy1 Oh yeah! Those were amazing!

[@3katfox]

Right?????

[@AmyoftheFlowerField]

@@dawnmccarthy1 Daria Cohen is the literal best. I think the animation got so much attention(and subsequently caused the song to be downloaded a bunch) that Voltaire mentioned it in concert. I can't find the link tho, lol.

[@sardonicus1739]

Please do more Voltaire. I've always wanted to hear some female covers of his work. There's not nearly enough. I'd love to hear more. I especially love his songs Feathery Wings, The Headless Waltz, Almost Human, and When You're Evil.

[@ineffable_bungee_gum8251]

Those are my favorites too!! I love the Death Rock cover of this song that he did on the album Raised By Bats

[@anitaflores2278]

dude when your evil is my fav too!!

[@elysehess252]

YES!! Feathery wings!!

[@theLadyofSpoons]

we could also really use a queen of villains

[@mickeysanimatics1996]

My favorites are Chupando, Zombie Prostitute & Raised by Bats!! Cant wait to see him this month in concert!

[@alicepersson9568]

I don't know if there's any "canon lore" as the younglings say to the art, but from the ones in whites calm and controlled smirk leads me to headcannon the "she / her" the songs talking about is actually the human white-clad one. Tldr: the vampire is the bottom

[@nittygritty7034]

'make the girl in black your bride'

[@CoRLex-jh5vx]

It's of Carmilla and Laura from a book called Carmilla, so there is some Canon lore, though I don't know what it is

[@TheGrimoiresVoice]

Yeah, that sounds like Carmilla alright.

[@brianawong312]

@@nittygritty7034 Everyone gangsta until neither character is in black

[@shadowstar5818]

Considering how Carmilla acts in the book, imma say yes to that one

[@ewenk7]

I just love the absolutely smug look on Laura's face here. She knows exactly what she's got and is loving every minute of it.

[@TheGrimoiresVoice]

Yeah, that's accurate.

[@ravendelacour1917]

"Let's see. I could be given to a man I don't know or love through an arranged marriage who hopefully won't beat me or be a drunk or I can be the immortal paramor of an centuries old erotic demon in human form." Which would you choose?

[@TheGrimoiresVoice]

​@@ravendelacour1917The obvious choice is obvious.

[@Ariel_is_a_dreamer]

Everytime I hear that song, I get a music video in my head showing a half vampire girl getting married to a human guy, and then after the (arranged) marriage she runs away to meet her vampire girlfried, and they dance.

[@TheGrimoiresVoice]

This idea could be an entire novel and I would read the fuck out of it.

[@YuiTheModder]

The most lesbian sounding cover i’ve ever seen (i mean that in a good way, we need more of this stuffff), loving this.

[@requiem762]

Given that the image is fan art of Carmilla, the origin of the "lesbian vampire" trope, it makes sense.

[@jdellabeat6245]

The strings in this song are going ham and I love it.

[@jahsiahandrews8510]

One thing I love about Voltaire is that you can TELL they had fun recording

[@k1m-n0wuh]

THE FACT THAT I FINALLY FOUND A COVER OF THIS SONG, LET ALONE, THE SAME PERSON THAT MADE SOME OF THE OTHER SONGS THAT SHE COVERED-- JUST-. BEAUTIFUL. JUSTINE'S VOICE IS SO BEAUTIFUL, AND NOBODY CAN CHANGE MY MIND AT THIS POINT

[@jinzotenebris]

Daria would love this.

Fangtastic work ~ this song is difficult to sing 🖤 Brings back such good memories of first watching the animation!

[@JustinesMic]

aaa omg thank you so much! i’m happy you saw my cover and enjoyed it 🥰💕 and yeah, the animation was what inspired me to cover the song! though i don’t think my voice suits her, it was fun to imagine missi singing this while preparing this cover.

[@Missmi]

@@JustinesMic It can definitely fit her! Missi has several voices, so what's to say yours isn't one as well? And you're welcome I'm happy I saw it too 🦇

[@kezia-lemonthorne2507]

There is such an unique gothic style on this Voltaire's song. I wonder if the cabaret with the same name would have played anything of his, because that would be pretty cool.

[@xxmariatinaxx]

OMG PPL STILL REMEMBER VOLTAIRE THIS WAS SUCH A PLEASANT SURPRISE

[@TeethHoarderr]

The day is the wife whom I elude The one to whom I should be right Although forewarned by peers and kin I always get into the night Mother always warned me such Being a nocturnal soul Besides just being simply strange Spawns from some illness of the mind The night, she calls me She calls me She calls me She calls me She sways in her velvet dress And pulls me towards her in the dark While the others rest While the others rest While the others rest Heed the call, the time has come For all you children of the night Gather 'round like suckling dogs Mother's come, she is the night Come with me to the other side Make the girl in black your bride 'Cause the night, she calls me She calls me She calls me She calls me She sways in her velvet dress And pulls me towards her in the dark While the others rest While the others rest While the others rest It's just seems very strange to me Not her quiet, lonely streets And draped in all her mystery Could be so sweet and comforting The night, she calls me She calls me She calls me She calls me She sways in her velvet dress And pulls me towards her in the dark While the others rest While the others rest While the others rest

[@awesomeaman113]
