Would be nice. However, Tiff is called a vampire slayer. "Slayer" means "killer".The Nick wrote: Perhaps staking a vampire doesn't kill them so much as immobilize them? That's not an uncommon view in vampire mythologies and certainly makes the 'stake her if I lose' order a little less immoral.

I don't know if I've mentioned it before, but Faith reminds me of Izaya Orihara from Durarara -- constantly messing with people, viewing themselves as the chess masters while all those around them are the pieces on the board. Maybe Faith really loves all humans like Izaya (except for Shizu-chan and possibly Simon, after the last episode).
I can't say how great Faith's little pause is in Panel 3A.
This update actually tells us a lot about Faith's character. Though she's a manipulator, Faith doesn't want to hurt people. If she didn't care about Tiff, she could've rolled Tiff out the back door and said Layla finished her off.

In order for stakes through the heart to only immobilize vampires, I'd say they need powerful regeneration or to be truly undead. Anything less than that, and a cease of cardial function probably means an end of brain functions as well, and... poof.

Remember, in many European legends the stake was only part of it, you also had to remove the head, stuff the mouth with either garlic of Communion wafers, and bury it separately.

Yes, because classic vampires are undead. It takes more than a stake to end them.

Not a "Vampire Staker" either. I'm just saying perhaps staking isn't the end-all be-all that it would be to humans. Maybe.Aquila89 wrote:However, Tiff is called a vampire slayer. "Slayer" means "killer".

I actually have tried to eat multiple types of livers. They all taste bad to me & I cannot stand the texture.
It's time to prove to your friends that you're worth a damn. Sometimes that means dying; sometimes that means killing a whole lot of people.

It looks like Faith dispensed with the pretense that the MAAA since she also removed Tiffany's mask. I think it would've been cuter if she left that much on and humored her secret identity.

So maybe she really is on the "benevolent dictator" path. As I suggested here: 16-09-11 This kind of power. (Note that I was guessing.

Now I have the image of Tiff walking around with her MMAA mask, wearing nothing else at all.

If you can get to 50 without growing up, you don't have to.
There are very few personal problems which can't be solved by a suitable application of high explosives.

... Actually, since it's the Abbot woman and she already stripped her naked, that would have been upsettingly much like kinky sex games. o_obrasca wrote:It looks like Faith dispensed with the pretense that the MAAA since she also removed Tiffany's mask.

Actually, when Tiff arrived she didn't pretend to be the MMAA, so there's no need for Faith to try to keep up the illusion.

I believe putting disinfectant on a bite would be more effective than stripping.Lighthawk wrote:Hmm. I guess I'm the only one who thought Faith meant just a plain old ordinary infection. You know, because Tiff has twin puncture wounds in her neck due to being bitten, and I doubt a vampire's mouth is any less of a bacteria collector than most.
