Do you really think that living death and immortality are glamourous?
Please be honest. A lot of people belonging to the "Sanguine Vampire Community" and the "Goth" subculture think that the ultimate existence is to become a REAL, IMMORTAL VAMPIRE. Sustain yourself on blood, live forever, never age. Think of how painful and insulting that would be to actual vampires "if" thy actually existed (wink wink). To never be known, to live in the shadows for all eternity, to have to hurt someone physically in order to eat. We slaughter animals for steak and kill baby cows for veal, but we don't have to kill them ourselves, so we're far removed from the brutality of it all. Of course it would be amazing to have lived through every era of great art, fashion and music, to have watched the evolution of film, photography, philosophy, mathematics, technology. It's incredibly profound, however, so is the anguish of losing everything and everyone you know. And do you honestly think that real, immortal vampires can't go out in the sunlight? Why would the sun destroy them? That only happens to HUMANS (aka mortals) with porphyria. Plus, it's annoying enough that I've lost so many friends over the years and I'm only physically 22 years old, think about how horibble it would be over a 100 or even 1000 year period! How devastating it would be!!!! Think about how annoying it is that there's nowhere to where a beautiful 1874 bustled evening gown complete with corset underneath boned bodice, and a bustle cage underneath an ellaborately draped skirt. And how hard it is to make these costumes!!!!! Now compound that with actually having lived in the era when that was the height of fashion and being reduced to jeans and a t-shirt because it's socially unacceptable to dress like a victorian socialite. Even worse if you lived through the Rococo era! But the most painful thing would be the eternal loneliness and constant loss!!!! So answer honestly, if immortality was real, and came with the price of taking human life, or at least a little human blood here and there in order to survive, would you be willing to pay that price in exchange for that immortality. If a real vampire existed, and came and gave you the choice, would you want said vampire to turn you? Or would you decline. Btw, this is specifically aimed at the Sanguine Vampire and Vampire Role-Playing community.
