    It has been years now since I saw the first half of the first movie, but I think I remember that his dad is an actual doctor.

    So isn’t he the one that should have focused on that?

    (not that I believe an immortal being would be any better than the researchers we have now)

      anyone with ample free time that does not devote their life to the active pursuit of knowledge or bettering their craft is a waste of space

      I wonder if vampire brains freeze mentally once they’re turned

        “Vampire: The Masquerade” has that as a downside of being a vampire. Vampires are less creative than humans, to the point that being turned into a vampire is said to hurt their talent worse than aging ever could. They also can’t properly adapt to new technology. Basically, vampirism comes with creative sterility.

          whilst I agree, I do judge anyone who sits on their hands for a 100 years not wanting to learn more about their existence

          (I love that someone wrote an anime vibing off a bunch of Creepy Nuts songs)

          Also, to be pedantic, neither of them are strictly vampires - they’re something else
