It causes the body to release adrenaline and noadrenaline.
In the short run that is stimulating. In the long run it is detrimental to your body.
Very simplified speaking it is chemically related to amphetamines, which are shaped in a similar way like dopamine, adrenaline and the other stimulating hormones. So they all end up interactinf with similar parts of your hormone/neurotransmitter system.
Oh, now I have an idea for a new BBEG: A lich that got to their position by taking advantage of their privilege and refuses to acknowledge it.
Definitely should be fully fleshed out (no pun intended) by flavoring with historical Trump actions like blaming minorities for everything (“that jogger was violently assaulted by these 5 goblins that simply happen to be nearby”), refusing to pay contractors for services rendered (“great job building my phylactery, it would be a shame if you got deported before I paid you”), using populist rhetoric to blame progressives for the problems caused by capitalism (“Minions, I know your wages are low, but it’s those adventurers fault for donating gold to the orphanage and causing all this inflation”). When he flees the adventurers, they could be slowed by a magical spell called “malicious litigation” that functions like a web spell on anyone who is not of noble birth.
Minions could also include a ghoul as diplomatic envoy whose hair dye leaks and who accidentally books an event at Four Seasons Total Castle Care and several half-ogre sons who think they are going to inherit his lichdom but are too dumb to see they’re first on the chopping block when the chips are down.
Dracula, and the vampire myth more generally, has also been read as a narrative on class relations and the struggle between capitalism and labour. It is this context that we shall examine below, with sharpened stake and cloves of garlic ready at hand, should they be needed.
Vampire fiction as class allegory predates Dracula. The means by which vampires feed not only has sexual and Freudian subtexts, but is also a powerful representation of a classically exploitative relationship – one body drawing strength whilst the other weakens – and Marxist writers were not slow in appropriating this imagery. Crucially, the vampire is also aristocratic, unlike, for example, the lumpen-proletariat Frankenstein Monster. Early vampires in Balkan folklore may have been re-animated peasants, but by the time the vampire novel emerged in the early-nineteenth century the classic undead was very much from the noblesse.
That fucker has zero clue in the art of crafting a phylactery.
No, his intolerance and ignorance suggests this is the work of horcruxes, which require far less intelligence to conceive of (in a literary sense) and create.
Liches are highly intelligent magic users (so INT based) who decided to transcend death just so they could keep on studying. They don’t care about the limelight, about looks, about anyone or anything besides whatever mad project they have.
He’s nowhere near as cool or competent a villain as a lich.
He wouldn’t put that much effort into it, he’d just rant incoherently about how much Kamala and Biden and Walz do it and that they have mountains of evidence they do and trust him that’s what people are saying
The makeup would at least be competently applied, and I’ve got to assume less fluorescent with none of the screaming contrast against the sickly transparent, veiny white skin of an octogenarian fuelled by hamberders, covefe, and hate - particularly for kamabla.
I know candid HD photography isn’t complimentary to a lot of people, but holy shit he looks like a fucking zombie.
That’s pretty much what he is. That fucker is kept going by nothing but malice.
and pseudoephedrine
Isn’t that allergy medicine and an antihistamine? How does that keep you going?
it can be used as a stimulant but apparently the rumor in regards to trump is false.

The “false” rating is just if the photograph means he is abusing stimulants.
The photograph doesn’t indicate or counterindicate that he’s a hopped-up maniac who would be doing all-caps screeds on social media at 3am.
Edit to add: The photograph is real, though. Is it weird to have a chock-full Sudafed drawer?

By being a precursor to methamphetamine, I guess.
It’s an amphetamine. I think that answers both questions.

He’s a Litch
That’s not fair. Liches are smart and competent, and had to earn their position through hard work and dedication.

Wait till you find out what vampires are an allegory for.
People with consumption or hemophilia?

Whoever is puppeteering him might be, though.
Maybe if they actually used mortuary cosmetics on him he might look more lifelike.
Like Frank in the “Frank’s Little Beauties” episode. He just needs a song about not diddling kids.

There’s no doubt that he would.
