Hi Guys,
My friends and I have been having a long-winded debate about this topic. I am firmly on the side of the blood-drinkers. If you are all for the hairy wild dogs, please feel free to comment on my friend Amy’s post which is at rollercoasterfan@coolguy. If you prefer the more exciting side of the vampires, comment on Mya’s which is at Anime414 or my post, which is right here.
Here are some awesome reasons for you to pick Vampires and to diss some Werewolves.
- Vampires are more environmentally friendly. Whenever you make a new werewolf, you have to waste tons of newspaper house training them.
- If they were fighting each other: Werewolves take a few hours to transform, giving the vampire time to prepare himself, or just finish him off before he has finished growing his tail.
- Vampires don’t have to kill people to survive! They just take enough blood to live off, and then leave the person to turn into a vampire too. Its a win-win; the vampire lives and also gains a new follower, they don’t go on murderous rampages like Werewolves do.
- Werewolves and vampires are both mythical creatures who kill humans but there are important differences between the two. Werewolves are mortal and age just like humans while vampires don’t age and are immortal (except for some things that can kill them like sunlight) garlic just annoys them.
