A three way vinn-diagram with pirates, vampires, and Princes in the three main circles. At the intersection of pirates and vampires is "classic go-to villains". Vampires and Princes share "living in castles". Princes and pirates both have "stealing from peasants". The shared trait of all three is "wearing these shirts" with a picture of a fancy white shirt with big ruffles on the neck and sleeves.

Pirates didn't steal from peasants. They conquered ships and let the crew decide what to do with the captain.

Peasants were in fact not even able to afford ships.

Ues, I think they're confusing pirates with common marauders, not even dashing highwaymen.

I wish I had an opportunity to pull off one of those shirts. Let's bring back ruffles, fellas.

You still can wear those shirts. While you might get weird looks, you will also get admiration for your drip. You just have to get one somehow, but i doubt that there are no such shirts available anywhere. If nothing else, from a pirate or vampire costume.

I just wish I could find one of those shirts, it would go perfectly with my closet full of paisley!

I made a vampire not wearing that kind of shirt, what now? (Haven't ended up using her yet, as I had to cancel the original work I was planning to use her in - long story short: I was working on that webcomic idea for like 10 years, and many core concepts of it were created when I was a lot naiver)
