One of the things I really love about Danielās late turning is that while vampirism cures diseases, it does not change the way a person looks and it certainly doesnāt deage them. Age here isnāt treated like a condition to be rid of, like something dirty and undesirable. To eternally young vampires, age and a life well lived are everything. Especially when I compare this to vampire works like twilight (not hating, I understand the uniquely Mormon beauty standard context there for sure), it is so refreshing and heartwarming to see. And how much the vast majority of this fandom has embraced Old Man Daniel and sexualised him just as much as the younger stars on this show. Thatās it for my mini anti ageism soapbox thank you for tuning in
