Like, in the scene where the grizzled veteran explains how shit works, he is invariably going to be unnecesarily dismissive to any traditional vampire weaknesses the vampires in the movies don't have.

"Of COURSE wooden stakes don't work, you idiot! Only garlic, crosses, and water pistols!"

    For once, or maybe twice, I was in my prime.
    "Bandoneons are their only weakness."

    "Great, I've got one right here!"

    "No! That's a Chemnitzer concertina! You've doomed us all, you idiot!"

    Man is a most complex simple creature: see what he weaves, and how base his reasons for doing so.
    It's because the rules are the genre.

    Things I have written about and want: A work of vampire fiction where all of the rules apply and its pointed out that the stupid number of ways vampires can die only serve to make those who actually survive as a vampire stronger
