Hmm.... I know that there are some of you who are going to think less of me because of this, but here's my take on it.
I like girly-boy vampires, let's call them toreador, but not angsty vampires. I don't think one is required to be the other. I mean, yes, there is alot of pretty angsty vampires; but very often their attractiveness comes entirely from appearence and not personality, and since vampires are the opitomdy, in my mind, at least, of having a sexy affect; the playgirl models as vampires just doesn't make sense to me. I mean, yes, of course not everyone who turns is a frail goth girl with ebody curls, but that is still the image that comes to mind when one thinks of attractive vampires.

And what was that book... it was supposed to be a modern vampire romance... oh, yeah; Twilight. SUCKED! and not the way most vampires do. I did not like the way vampires worked in that universe. They could go into sunlight, they just shone like jewels. That sucked. I mean, what's the point of not going into the sun if it's not going to destroy you?

But then again, I like the idea of vampires as sex symbols, so it's not suprising that I prefer the pretty type of vampires. The nosferatu type

But I've got to say I've got a predisposition towards Malcavians. That's the fricken crazy ones; for those of you who don't play Vampire and have no idea what I'm talking about. Boy I'm rambling with all the pretty words.
Anyway, I guess the point I was trying to make about the Malcavians is that I like the idea of vampires being attractive, and I don't like the idea of them being mournful and all "Eeek, I kill people to live; I'm a monster! I hate myself. Whine whine. Who called me emo?" , which often goes with the being attractive.

However, the attractive vampire without regret is not the most frequently used kind. The last time I can actually remember seeing one (outside of stories written by people I know) was in Dracula the Chamber Musical. That was such a good show.
Remember, kiddies. Thinking that Dracula is a sex symbol does not make you gay; just observent.


Did you just say that the nosferatu type is pretty?

That was the opposite of what I was saying... did I make a very well-placed typo?
*rereads* Oh, dear gods!
Right. That paragraph has been finished, though rather poorly, much closer to my point. I hate losing track of what I'm saying in the middle of a paragraph. Thank you for bringing the error to my attention.

I'm beginning to tire of the whole thing, actually.
True, isn't this like the 5th topic in the past fortnight about this?


It's really the whole concept that bores me, not just the way it is commonly repeated. Though, I will admit that this whole vampire center of many circles in the goth subculture is quite annoying in its abundance and monotony.

One could say I'm really beginning to tire of any sort of horror or Gothic concept that involves anything that is not human in the real dimension. Delusions of monsters would be perfect. However, if it is in the real dimension by way of already having been there (this statement excludes "delusions that become reality") then I wouldn't like it.

This encompasses my opinion of traditional Gothic "monsters".

I like vampires but I'm starting to get bored of everything being about them, mainly books and movies. It's just starting to get old.

I agree. Vampires are being mentioned too frequently these days to the point of it getting old. But still... I can't help but love them...

are anything but.
Nosferatu are replusive. They are designed to be so. They are far closer to the general idea of monsters then most other kinds of vampires, and... and... I'm sorry, I'm too embarassed about leaving this paragraph hanging to collect my thoughts properly.
Ehem.
The nosferatu type of vampire is more a monster than other types. I don't like it nearly as much.

But I've got to say I've got a predisposition towards Malcavians. That's the fricken crazy ones; for those of you who don't play Vampire and have no idea what I'm talking about. Boy I'm rambling with all the pretty words.

All those depicted in books and movies, no.

One of my favorite Historical beings is Vlad the Impaler.

You don't like vampires from books, but your favourite historical being is a fictional character created by Bram Stoker?

And if you think Nos are pretty, I think your missing the point, the idea is that their twisted appearance is meant to reflect the twisted and evil actions they perform.

Though I guess there are people that think Picasso's are beautiful, despite the guy having no sense of composition at all. Some people have strange taste.

Okay, I can't believe you said that Vlad the Impaler is fictional.

Vlad the Impaler was one of Eastern Europe's defenses against invading men of the Ottoman Empire who earned his name by the way he sat his fallen enemies on sharpened upright timbers around his property, an effective tactic in demoralizing the enemy.

There's some manner of myth and folklore about him that led to a perception of him being vampiric, I don't know much about that, though.

Also, the Cubist style does not represent a lack of a sense of composition. All Modernist movements encapsulate a staged "lack of talent" to represent alternative forms of expression when compared to the contemporary Romantic styles. This is also captured in the uprising of short poetry resembling haikus, which lay in stark contrast to the florid words of Romantic poets in the 19th century.
