Fairly predictable for a "stone licker"

Billy the Kid vs. Dracula (1966)

What are the ramifications of this? I can understand the bullets not hurting/killing a vampire, but his body didn't even react to being hit, almost implying he's incorporeal and they went right through him. Yet the gun makes contact no problem. What's happening here? Did he just miss entirely? Was he firing blanks? Is the gun shaped like a cross? Or dipped in holy water or something?

WORLDBUILDING RULE NUMBER ONE: PUT A FUCKING EQUATOR IN YOUR WORLD MAP

WORLDBUILDING RULE NUMBER TWO: IF THERE ARE POTATOES IN YOUR WORLD THERE MUST BE AN ANDES FROM WHERE THEY CAME FROM

WORLDBUILDING RULE NUMBER THREE: PUT. A. FUCKING. EQUATOR. IN. YOUR. WORLD. MAP.

WORLDBUILDING RULE NUMBER FOUR: ANY PLACE SOUTH OF THE EQUATOR CAN AND MUST BE AN ARGENTINA EQUIVALENT

To clarify the equator thing; the FIRST thing you should know if you're doing worldbuilding of anything larger than a single city is, at least roughly, the latitude, at least if it's located in a temperate, subtropical, tropical, polar, etc. latitude.

If you're designing a continent-sized scenario, you should KNOW how large it is and how it stretches over a world map, you don't need to do the exact coordinates, even if it's just in a loose way like "it stretches from the equator to the southern temperate zone". To do this, you NEED to put the equator on your world map, or in any case, you should know where it is compared to your main setting. This will help you create a realistic distribution of climates which will serve as a spine for the rest of your worldbuilding, as you can tell where different uses of resources, crops, flora, fauna, cultures, everything is.

Otherwise you get someone like GRRM claiming to be a genius of realistic fantasy while having no idea how big his own fucking continent is or where it is placed on the world.

Also, go read about equatorial and southern hemisphere cultures and enviroments. You don't need every world to be Fantasy Europe and Fantasy Asia. There ARE other continents, you know.

This post is made by Southern Hemisphere gang. We are out here.

Some of the laziest worldbuilding (in this particular regard) is when there's only one big continent pointing north, and things just get warmer the more south you go and it just... stops there. There's nothing else. No equator, nothing. The world just... stops. This is distressingly common. How many settings are just one big contintent which is located on an assumed northern hemisphere (usually with a defined northern frozen land, but an exotic and steamy south) I can count many.

What, you think things just get hotter the more south you go, that's your universal experience? The southest you go, you'll find boiling water? Ancient Greek ass thinking. Literally.

Even the Greeks, however, knew the Earth was round and that there was temperate zones and polar zones in the south. They KNEW the Southern Hemisphere existed. (In fact, two hemispheres separated by a boiling equatorial ocean would be fun worldbuilding if unrealistic)

The south exists too. We are out here.

The “horrible disaster in pitch darkess lit momentarily by camera flash” mood in these paintings is incredible.
