User blog:Maria Trimble/Vampires in Teen Wolf Rant

In my opinion, vampires would be an interesting addition to Teen Wolf IF THE MEDIA HADN'T ALREADY DILUTED THEIR SCARE FACTOR WITH PRETTY BOYS WITH A CONSCIENCE. If they introduced vampires that don't fall for every pretty girl or that kill people to get what they want and don't think twice about it, then it would be okay to introduce them. But they would no doubt be turned into pretty boys who lose all masculinity once they meet a shallow pretty girl.

Appearance
Vampires are not always pale and beautiful. Some vampires are hideous. The bite does not automatically make you insanely beautiful, especially if you looked like shit before the bite. But it would be okay if they were handsome (it's one thing to be handsome, it's another to be super pretty with concealer and powder) only for the purpose of luring their victims so they can attack and feed. But when the fangs come out it can't just be two little extended canines (unless that's their halfway form). It has to be dozens of razor sharp teeth. And their eyes can't just glow (once again, unless it's their halfway form). AND FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY, PLEASE DON'T MAKE THEM SPARKLE! They are supposed to TURN TO ASH in the sun, not sparkle like fairies.

Personality
Vampires are not brooding little boys that cry and whine and sit in their rooms depressed because the "girl of their dreams" doesn't want them. No, they are MEN who will FIGHT for their "mate" and will brutally murder anyone that gets in their way without thinking twice about it.

Vampires do not have human friends, they have human pets. Humans that they make do their bidding when they have more important things to do. Humans that they use as means of pleasure.

And vampires, or at least the ones I like, do not REGRET being a vampire. They don't whine about how "their lives have been ruined", "they were cursed and didn't ask for this" or "I'm gonna kill myself because I didn't ask for this". They embrace it and enjoy it.

Weaknesses
Vampires burn in the sun (they don't sparkle, their powers aren't weakened and they don't just go *poof*). When the sun is up, they are weakened. Stakes through their hearts can kill them. Holy Water can kill them. Decapitation can kill them. Crucifixes can burn them but not kill them.

Abilities
They turn into bats and fly. They can manipulate their victims through their voice or eye contact.

Teen Wolf Vampires
While it would be cool for them to follow every rule to a T, I know they wouldn't so here's what I think:


 * Handsome to an extent and only for picking up victims or pets. Mysterious and alluring for the same reason. Hideous when in full vampire mode.
 * Ruthless killers who rip out throats instead of two little puncture marks all the time. Fight/kill for what they want.
 * Burn in the sun. Killed by decapitation and wooden stakes (and probably some type of herb they want to add.)
 * Enhanced speed, strength, senses, etc. Manipulation when at their strongest.

So this is just my opinion, comment yours below :)
