And on a related related note… From what I have gleaned from that new omnibus of vampire information, True Blood, vampires’ bodily fluids are replaced by blood: they cry blood instead of tears, for example. (This also appears in a Stephen King short story, where a vampire at a urinal pees blood, so with two such formidable proponents of this theory I think we can say it’s definitely fact. ) …so…does this apply to all other body fluids and secretions as well? Like semen, for example? Having sex with a vampire must be like having sex on a heavy period. Sookie must go through sheets like tissues.
^All newly created fluid in his body is Vampire venom. The only reason he was able to get Bella pregnant is because he was a virgin who never masturbated, and thus had a little stored up “seed” left.
Really? :dubious: And I guess that means he never had erotic dreams, either. One wonders that someone like that would actually be attracted to anyone, ever.
Yeah, yeah, I know. Logic and Twilight, oil and water.
Nah. One of the folkloric characteristics of a vampire body (that hasn’t made its way completely into fiction, so YMMV) is that it’s still warm–at least warmer than ambient. See Paul Barber, Vampires, Burial, and Death.
And who never has erotic dreams leading to night emissions, which is what normally happens when you don’t masturbate. Not for a century or two, however old he was. Yet this neuter falls in lust with a teenager?
Well that nicely answers the question. If just a little moisture on the finger is required to activate the touch screen, and virgin vampires in Twilight have stored up, 200 year old juices, at least the males would have a “stylus.”
By that rationale, what if you accidentally let a vampire in to your house once but then you legally declare a room of your house in a different zone or something? Can you keep the vampire out that way? Can you keep a vampire out of an outdoor area like a field if you own it by forbidding it to enter? How do you define “owning” an area for a vampire? Hmm.
Another one here who raises the question “What kind of vampire?”.
Lately they seem to be Emo’s with superhuman powers who aren’t particulary vampirish.
Then theres the religious version where they can’t be seen in a mirror because of having no soul.
And the whole cruxifix, holy water, inviting in thing.
Personally I think that Vampirism is an infectious disease (possibly a mutation of the Zombie virus; or vice versa), that animates corpses, giving an appearance of life and allows the host body to exist and function for an extremely extended period at the cost of suspended animation for so many hours each day and severe tissue damage and blindness if exposed to U.V…
And also of course the strength etc.
As to flying I think that is a confusion caused by association with vampire bats and that Human host Vampires can’t do it, just as eagles fly and eat meat but wolves eat meat but can’t fly.
That said I don’t think that they masturbate or have sex.
And as to mobile phones old people don’t tend to take to new technology, so if you’re seven hundred years old I don’t think that you’d bother getting one.
