Californians: “idk, he just kept asking and I kept saying, like, the beach? The coast? The seaside? Eventually he just stormed off in a huff, but, yeah, no, super weird guy. I still don’t know what he wanted.”
Context: as long as I’ve been on the west coast, I’ve literally never heard anyone call it the shore.
Lived in FL for 28 years and the last time I heard it called the shore was in Ocean City, MD In 1997
Yea we call our side the Eastern Shore.
Lmao, I was having the same thought. “Shore” wouldn’t have crossed my mind unless I’m talking about Gulf Shores. And that’s a beach town in my mind. Hell, I grew up close enough to Jersey and have lived near the Gulf of Mexico for over 20 years; “shore” just isn’t in my vocab like that
Except it doesn’t work that way. It’s not about wordplay, but the esoteric power of being explicitly invited.
But it does work that way because vamipres are made up and so are the rules
Counterpoint: Buffy (the series, not the movie, not the comic) is the only true vampire canon, and everything else is fanfic, and older stuff is from future time travelers writing fanfic.
Mhhh interesting point.
I will take it into consideration :D
How does the lore work? Does the vampire need to hear the right thing or does the person need to mean the right thing?
The whole thing is vampire propaganda to make the general population feel more safe
Big Blood is playing us for fools
If I were making the rules, intent would be what mattered.
Otherwise vampires would be getting invited in because some word means “enter” or whatever in a different language.
Mellon!
(WoW orc voice) “Speak, friend.”
Doesn’t matter if you let them in. Nothing stopping them from setting your house on fire and making you come out.
Vampires stopped existing when a wild hermit man once declared that the entire outside was their home.
Ah, the Harry Dresden Assassination technique
Vampires are from Staten Island and Noo Yawk Citttttaaaaaay.
Tucson Arizonia
No they’re just regular human bartenders there.
No Jackie Daytona is a normal human from Tucson Arizoniia you fool.
A lot of us in NOLA, too! And Denver for some reason…
The beach. Bitch.
Coast
Coast on inside? Don’t mind if i do!
I’m pretty sure the magic preventing a vampire from entering without permission would not be overcome so easily.
Its not magic if its real.
me: coast?
vampire: Mhm -_- How would you pronouce the first three letters of “yesterday” may i come in?Well the first letter is pronounced like the word why. The next one, is like the second name of rapper easy e. Now that third letter, thats a real fun pronunciation. How familiar are you with the 18th president of the USA?
Not very, but his name was “Ulysses S. Grant” wasn’t it may I come in?
“A Beatles song, XXXterday.”
Yes No
Three characters you say.
No!terday
a sphincter says what?
/c/wellthatsucks
I’m from Jersey (New). I go down the shore, and while down the shore I go to the beach. This is how it’s always been and always will be (until the shore comes up to me because we’ve destroyed the environment)!
Maryland here. The shore isn’t the ocean or beach. It’s the shore.
Sinners was so fucking good
how is the answer to this yes?
Shore can sound like “sure”
Unexpected Bergerac.
