So then they're not even really vampires, you know?
Yep. Which is why I always wondered why the hell they ever became romantic heroes in the first place. I mean, I guess Dracula seduced some girls in the book, but that was all due to him using his supernatural powers to do it and the Victorians' issues with sex, not because he was actually in any way attractive.
But writing a story about a moody teenage girl falling in love with a random perfect immortal doesn't have quite the same draw.
I hear tell that Twilight actually started as a superhero novel, which would've made so much more sense. Superheroes! Totally the way to go!
Your drawbacks and limitations actually make sense! Unlike the ones I'm complaining about.
