I swear, everytime I say "vampire" it's immediately "Oh you mean Twilight Thots or pure ugly monsters?"
No, you blood clot, I mean the creatures of the night that so closely resemble humans they can easily become one of the best hunting species on this forsaken earth.
I mean hot or not, goth or hipster, victorian or modern, a shadowing society of creatures that work tirelessly to mimic us in the best way possible so Vladdy could pick off Suzy Jane from down the street because she thought she was safe with her childhood friend.
I mean vampires that call each other "limp wing" or "sugar fang". Vampires that already ate and there's really nothing they wanna do, so let's stretch out on our lovely lounge sofas and make weird faces at each other cause I'm booooooorrrrreeeeddd.
I mean vampires that actually function like their own society or could find a way to blend the human and vampire ways of life.
Vampires where their children start climbing up the walls and jumping from roofs, trying to learn how to fly. Or kids daring each other to drink snake blood and "but what if it's poisonous?!" Or adults just having a small garden on the side cause they actually do love taking care of plants.
Vampires that adopt dhampire or human children for x reasons. Vampires that cuddle their loved one and in the stillness of the quiet night they could almost make out the rhythmic flow of their SO's blood and it's so soothing. Or tiny vampire babies that blindly cling to their parents while they're working and the parents just have to adjust to working around this baby bump.
Vampires that have to wear glasses cause yeah they can see in the dark but that doesn't mean it's easy to read anything.
Vampires with constantly twitchy ears cause they're always listening and know when something breaks and where and what and who. Or just enjoy sitting in a public space cause they hear so many collective heart beats and it reminds them of the good in humanity, like sitting on a street and smelling so many delicious restaurants.
Kids throwing a fuss over what they drink, cause cooties. Vampires that can't taste normal food but use their exceptional sense of smell and hearing to figure out how to cook regardless.
Vampires that get horribly dizzy in echo-y places cause there are too many mixed signals. Vampires that enjoy bad jokes or dumb pranks.
Vampires based on different bat species or have different wing shapes. Maybe even painting or piercing their wings as part of a fashion trends. Vampires who are anemic because they're anorexic. Vampires that call watch other out on their bullshit like "bro there's no way you're gonna be able to fight a dragon. I don't care if it's too impress someone. No one's impressed with a dead dude."
I know people do these and this is less about a rant to make a point and more like a pointless babble of fun ideas I've had about vampires so there you go. I just love the idea of really casual vampires. Not jokey, not horny, not monstrous. Just... Slice of Life. So there's my two cents.
I would love to discuss the matter further if anyone wants to.
