Twilight

Twilight is a badly written piece of fiction, the result of a college drop-out's wet dream in an effort to destroy well known and established canon surrounding vampires.

Vampires 101

1. They *must* drink human blood to replenish their life force. The only exception to this is Angel from Buffy the Vampire Slayer or Hannibal King from the Marvelverse.

2. They do not sparkle in sunlight, they burn, die and turn to ash.

3. They cannot even survive in direct sunlight or directed ultraviolet rays, as they are intensely allergic to it.

4. Depending on canon, their other weaknesses are: Religious symbols, Christianity is particular, Garlic Bulbs or Garlic Flowers, Holy Water, Silver and any compounds derived from it, eg. Silver Nitrate, piercing of the heart and/or brain with either a wooden of silver stake.

5. Vampires rarely feel or are even aware of Emotions other than Anger.

That concludes Vampires 101. If you want to know more, there is plenty of well-written books, movies and television shows concerning vampires.

There is help for you all.
