revelations from comparing tanz der vampire and pirates of the caribbean, which is truly a niche interest venn diagram:
tanz is like if jack and barbossa were the same dude and will turner and james norrington were also the same dude, so like. if the older, mephistophelean love interest had no sex appeal but the younger, more viable love interest was a fucking square
the monkey serves a similar narrative purpose as koukol
elizabeth has better clothes, a better dad, and a better narrative arc than sarah, but sarah still has a better ending
lastly i leave you with this imagery: please imagine the opening of act II of tdv but it’s davy jones’ love theme playing on the organ
people end up vampires in tdv the same way people end up pirates in potc

““Dustfinger inspected his reddened fingers and felt the taut skin. ‘He might tell me how my story ends,’ he murmured.
Meggie looked at him in astonishment. ‘You mean you don’t know?’
Dustfinger smiled. Meggie still didn’t particularly like his smile. It seemed to appear only to hide something else. ‘What’s so unusual about that, princess?’ he asked quietly. ‘Do you know how your story ends?’
Meggie had no answer for that.””
