It's been a while

She's invisible
But only in the darkness
As if it matters

Vampires. They rape virgins, not break up with them, attempt suicide after hearing of the aforementioned virgin's death, then ask said virgin to marry him upon finding out she's still alive. They burst into flames when they sun's rays touch them, penetrate them even, making them quite the homophobic monsters. Violent lives, ending violently (<3 Alan Moore). They don't look like they went to town on glitter and other sparkly accessories. They live in castles and mansions and other places where they can brood. They don't live in close proximity to werewolves, and if they did, they would rip the face of their real estate agent off, prior to moving.

Werewolves. They don't have to be Native. I actually think that's pretty racist, in fact. They don't turn into giant wolves. They turn into wolf-type hominids. They don't walk around shirtless. Werewolves are not Matthew McConaughey. They don't turn on a whim. They need the full moon to be present.

Mormons. They don't write books. Anyone who has read anything by Stephanie Meyer can confirm this. They also believe black skin to be a sin. Oh and black people can as of 2004 (or something like that) get into heaven.

If you're going to reinvent something, don't make it shitty. Examples:

Vampires. Instead of dying when hit by sunlight, they hemorrhage internally. Prolonged exposure causes excruciating, messy deaths. No ashes, just a pile of indistinguishable meat and bones. No super strength, speed, hearing, sight, nothing. Just regular people that need to have human blood as part of their diet. Without it they get sick and potentially die. Oh and AIDs is a serious problem for these vampires.

Werewolves. They wear shirts. They're not all ripped and tanned and perfectly waxed. They only turn at night, moonlight being the catalyst. Once turned, they don't have any of their human memories. They don't kill for fun, only if they're hungry (eating at night before going out will ensure you don't kill any humans). They have a wolf's body and the head of a human (a very hairy version of their human face). They really enjoy the company of dogs.

Mormons. They don't believe what some asshole says when he reads from tablets that he has hidden in a hat.

Know that I love you
Even though I don't know you
Hard as that may be
