4/18

4/18 Samira also has contempt for the idea of vampires becoming softened, domesticated, or wrapped up in romantic fantasies. The Eternal uses that attitude alongside her own history, which makes her more complicated than a villain giving speeches about how humans are beneath her. She has a past. She has relationships and experiences behind the identity she presents to everyone else. That doesn't excuse what she does. It gives context to someone who wants to project absolute superiority while still being shaped by intensely personal things. A vampire can have emotional depth and still be cruel. Those two things can exist in the same character.
