Hello friend. Vassal is actually not misspelled, and is a different word from vessel. In this context, the vassal of horror would be an emissary or owner of lands of horror.
I agree that “vassal of horror” is an unusual turn of phrase but the amount of arguing about this post online just about that phrase alone is staggering. It almost makes wonder if the original note was written by a AI-bot since it’s the exact kind of unique phrase that -sounds good- but hasn’t come up organically yet in any other published work.
But that’s the opposite of what AI tends to do. It tries to predict words that fit a pattern. It wouldn’t come up with a new turn of phrase that sounds good because it isn’t creative. It has no idea about what “sounds good.” It would use a phrase it’s seen many times before, because that’s what it trained on. Often that ends up being incorrect, but it’s written like a normal human would write because it’s literally copying what they wrote. It isn’t creating new stuff.
I have no idea why people are being so aggressive to “correct” you. You’re almost certainly right. Horror is not the liege of this bug. It is a thing which contains horror. It’s a vessel of horror, not a vassal of horror.
Better plot twist: the professor docks them ten points for misspelling “vessel.”
Edit: LOL, downvotes from people trying to find meaning in this clear error.

Thanks, I’m literate.
They clearly meant “vessel.” Quite the mental gymnastics trying to come up with a reasonable meaning behind the misuse of “vassal.”
Take the L, m8.
I’m less convinced of either of those statements now than I was before.
I’m not going to pretend I’m wrong just to stroke your ego.
My only mistake was thinking that others would clearly see the error.
Are you always this full of yourself?
“It’s not me, everyone else is wrong!” Head-ass motherfucker
Only when I’m right.

Or they were trying to write “vessel.”

Idk I feel like I’ve seen this image before the AI craze hit, but maybe I’m wrong.
Yeah, it seems to be at least a year old. Good old-fashioned stupidity is timeless.
College students learning new terms are predisposed to coming up with phrases that aren’t common and only partially make sense.
It’s probably a combination of autocorrect and the original author not knowing the word “vassal.”

People tend to hate feeling like they’re wrong, and would rather blame the messenger rather than admit to a mistake.
