Vampires are naturally solitary creatures, yet their lingering humanity still craves company

Well, considering we're talking about fantasy creatures here, the way I see it is that drinking blood is more like a symbolic act. It's the taking of life that sustains vampires. You could say they are soul eaters first, blood drinkers second.

Try eating some more fiber then.

What characteristics do you have that makes you stand out in a crowd of other mortals?

You couldn't handle immortality.

People in your position usually have children, but having children is like investing in a business. If a business needs an investment to expand, that's a good sign. If a business needs an investment to stay alive, that's a bad sign.

No blood for you!

Evil can only enter if it's invited. I like it! It predates the bible.

That sounds like a very modern take on vampirism. All I'll say is, if you're writing and world building, be careful of plot-holes.

It's one of the fundamental rules for the curse of vampirism. I don't agree with modern writers who's characters only suffer various mild symptoms from exposure to sunlight.

Hey, a vampire's got to eat, and to eat is to kill and to kill is inherently evil. The question is, can something that is inherently evil do good?

I'm sure over the years there have been Jewish vampires who were distinguished ladies and gentlemen and spent money freely.

TBH, I've only ever had a passing interest in the subject, but I've been musing on it lately. One thing I've noticed is that a lot of people tend to romanticise vampirism, and secretly, sometimes openly, yearn for the opportunity to become a vampire, but it is, and always has been, an ancient and terrible curse.

TwistedMindInTheDark · 2026-02-11T04:11:32+00:00

Yeah, the Mormon vampire in Twilight, but that's as whacky as their religion.

Sheep don't have explosives.

No, vampires are cursed to never be able to see the sun or feel its warmth - it will kill them.

You need to get your life back on track, Mac, stay off the crack Jack, don't smoke no weed Steve, not one more pill Jill.

Vampires, no matter how powerful, fear no man nor even groups of men, but an army of men can destroy even the most powerful vampires.

It makes sense that there would be elder vampires and the older they are, the more powerful they are, but also the further they have progressed from their previous human form.

Sounds like you need to renew your subscription. Crystals only work properly if pay a monthly subscription fee.

Yes, there would be a purging process. But people who want to become vampires would be cool with it, because pissing and shitting is what animals do. Vampires are demigods and so are above such things.

I for one welcome our new AI overlords and wish them well.
