              I’ve got to agree with AckAckAck, too damn cute. This is my favorite Plasma Mongoose avatar. I was a bit worried I wouldn’t see it again since the switch to the green backdrop, so seeing it again today made me happy.

            Gotta start with smilings or the pain and mindfuck don’t mean much.

            (Of course, this is Asuka…a warm, generally happy smile, instead of a smug obnoxious one is OOC…)

        The ORIGINAL Dracula did not burn in sunlight. He just lost most of his nifty powers and was kind of lethargic…for an evil undead monster of advanced age.

            No you can’t. That was Gordon’s point – he was talking about Stoker’s Dracula…the only other ‘original’ Dracula was Vlad II, and he wasn’t an evil undead monster (he was an evil living monster, if you ask the Turks, an absolutely saintly hero if you ask the Romanians).

            You can blame FW Murnau and Henrick Galeen (director and scriptwriter for Nosferatu) for it – Nosferatu was the first version of the Dracula story, and…probably the first Vampire story*, to have sunlight be deadly. (… Arguably. Quite a few people interpret the ending as the heroine’s willing sacrifice being what truly killed Orlock.)

            * I don’t claim to know all the myths, of course, but deadly sunlight isn’t a traditional trait of any legendary vampires I’m familiar with, and of the major fictional precursors to Dracula, I’ve not read Varney, but both La Fanu’s Carmilla (of the novela of the same name) and Poldori’s Baron Ruthven (of The Vampyre) are active during the day (though Carmilla tends to sleep late, this is presented not as a problem with the sun, but simply being tired after her nocturnal adventures).

              In fact, as I recall, the only times Stoker’s Dracula was truly vulnerable were dusk and dawn.
