ok but 21st century vampires
- they go out twenty minutes after sundown and set their phone alarms for half an hour before sunrise so they can cinderella it out of the club
- instead of sleeping in coffins all day they marathon shows on netflix or blog or do makeup tutorials on youtube
- and ok, so many more job opportunities like
- web design or extra cash from accounts on etsy or whatever
- creatives who can make a profit from their work by selling it online
- airplanes staffed by a coven who only ever take flights which take off and land in the dark, the pilot switching off to his co-pilot just before daybreak
- every undesirable night shift in diners and gas stations and transport
- night time road work crews
- they bulk buy coconut water because its similar enough to blood plasma that they can cut back on real blood
- transferring their raw wealth into real estate investments and inheriting the properties from themselves every few decades
- tech savvy vamps who make a career out of helping others forge identities and stay off the grid without encumbering their real world interactions
- using the internet to get in touch with others when you first turn
- international covens keeping in touch via social media outlets
- intra-covens activities organized via facebook events
- treaties sorted over skype calls
I want a story about an Italian vampire.
No romance, no action.
Just 200 pages of “What do you mean, I can’t have garlic? Do you know where I’m from?”
TBH I think the main issue would be the mirror thing
have you ever met an Italian man
the amount of time they spend looking in the mirror jfc
#the more you think about it the more all vampire rules are just anti-italian rules#can’t go out in sunlight?? IN ITALY???#Can’t go near crucifixes? IN ITALY???
