There is a near parallel to this in Anne Rice’s novels (and now the INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE tv show) - Louis, Lestat, Armand, and Nicky are ALL frustrated artists who yearn to make something beautiful and find they are (or are now?) frustrated, appreciative hacks

"Insensitive to music," would make a great plot hook. Former musician is turned, loses sensitivity to the thing that gave their life meaning, spends immortality learning new arts to try and recapture the feeling that music gave them.

I am going through Bram Stoker’s earliest notes on DRACULA today - they include a list of the powers and features of the Count (then named “Wampyr” before Stoker stumbled on “Dracula”), many of which are never elucidated in the book…

• panters cannot pant hım; looks like someone else (38b)
• insensitive to music (38b)
• despises death and the dead (38b)
. is affected only by relics that are older than he is (38b)
• can create evil thoughts in others, banish good ones, and destroy will (38b)
• cannot be photographed; photographs come out black or like a skeleton corpse (4, 38b)
• can tell if bodies are dead or alive (4)
• sees man semingly dead and says "no" (4)
• has to be brought or carried over threshold. Dracula visits an asylum where he stumbles on the threshold (4, 16)
• named "Count Wampyr" (1)
• can determine and prove if people are sane (24)

Using lists of three is not an "AI tell." It's a common trait in human writing because our brains biologically want to make sure there's always one thing to marry, one thing to fuck, and one thing to murder.

one of the two cute baby gays on an obvious first date in this cafe stopped chatting to point at me and say “oh my god he kinda looks like a young jon hamm!” and I said “oh thanks but I really don’t think so” but he was pointing at the vinyl hanging behind me so I have to Initiate Self Destruct
