Видео

Long time no see 🎉

Whoa it’s been years queen. Happy to see another video! ❤

oh my god it's been a while

I watched you back in high school, and loved you, and now I'm married and several years out of college lmao. I am so happy to see you healthy and doing something you love. You were a huge part of my experience as a young, naive guy getting into understanding feminism, so please feel pride in your impacts and work overall. Also, great video here :) looking foward to all other future ones!

Great that you came back! Can't wait to watch it!

Marina is back and talking about vampires?? Let's gooo

Oh no..do i need to play Baldur's Gate 3? Apparently, yes.

WELCOME BACK MARINA!!!

Somehow, Marinashutup returned

OMG WELCOME BACK MARINA!

Just started vid but wanna say rly quick that it’s great to see u on RUclips again!! Wow !

Dang it sounds like this is just a one and done video and not a return, right?

OMG, I have been subscribed for a decade now! I'm so glad I never unsubbed bc it was a delight to get this in my notification! Welcome back, Marina!

Long time no see. Welcome back.

And when the world needed her most, she appeared! ❤️❤️❤️

You’ve returned to speak on a topic which is my kryptonite. The down-bad of this video is just what I needed.

I’m so happy to see you’re back! You were one of the first video essayists I ever followed and I loved seeing a fellow wasian woman speak about feminism and social justice. Much love <3

Nice to have you back

She's baaaack 🎉🎉🎉

I knew I stayed subscribed for 10years for a reason 👵

CARMILLA MENTION

Hi friends! I know it's been, like, 27 years since I uploaded a video. BUT I'm excited to share a new video essay that I'm really, really proud of. 
 I started working on this video at the beginning of the year, shortly after I was laid off by the Los Angeles Times (boooo). It's different from the other videos I’ve made in the past, but after years of making short-form content for other publications, this was the first time I’ve been able to write, edit, and produce something long-form that’s entirely for myself. 
 When I was at the height of my post-layoff depression, I was obsessed with playing Baldur's Gate 3, and I was in need of a creative outlet. I was also so obsessed with the game's c*nty little vampire elf that it basically made me regress back into my Twilight era. Working on a video essay, for the first time in years, gave me a reason to get out of bed and write jokes and research and just feel creative again. I got to analyze media I already obsess over and watch a ton of vampire movies. (During this time, I also foolishly purchased a $70 3-vinyl box set of the BG3 soundtrack, but it's so fine!) Making a video essay gave me something to look forward to, and I assumed that I would finish this in a reasonable amount of time and make a cute lil return to RUclips. What I didn't expect is that I would very quickly find a new job. After I left that job, I recently started working as a video producer for Teen Vogue, Glamour, and Them. Yay!

So, somehow, it has taken me nearly seven months to finish making a video essay about depressed vampires. But this is also the most amount of hours I have ever put into a video-and that's by a pretty wide margin.
 Anyway, here's the video literally nobody asked for about the internet's favorite bloodthirsty, 200-year-old babygirl. I truly had a blast working on this, and I hope you like it!
