Would you rather be a vampire or a werewolf?

...OK, yes, I'm watching a Twilight film Grin

Currently I feel like werewolf is kicking vampire's ass.

God, I'd love to be a werewolf.

I wouldn't want to be a vampire - whatever. Dead. No sunshine. Blood sucking. No reflection. Living forever. Nope - sounds dreadful.

As to whether or not I'd want to be a werewolf, it would depend on the type. Harry Potter werewolf - no thanks. Buffy werewolves ...um, not bothered but I wouldn't mind too much. Rather that than a vampire. But the kinds that can transform at will and who have wolfish powers in human form - like Angua in Discworld or the Lycans in Underworld ... yeah, I'd quite like that. It's like being a superhero but with no responsibilities - you're just human plus.

Vampire. In Claus’ sire line.

Definitely a vampire! Just for the sheer strength and ability to move lightening fast!!!
I Loved all the True Blood, Vampire Diaries, The Originals and Being Human TV series!
I would only use bags of blood though from the Blood Bank not real humans!!

I wouldn't want to be a Werewolf...I wouldn't want to go through that bone cracking change every month!!!! Grin

Who the hell would want to be a werewolf?! 100% vampire!

RiverTam · 23/10/2018 22:22

Yes, they’re shapeshifters in Twilight. Which would be cool.

But vampires all the way here (ex-Goth). Garrett, yum yum YUM.

I love the Twilight films, especially the first and the last ones. The cinematography in the first one is amazing, I want to go to the Pacific Northwest.

RiverTam · 23/10/2018 22:23

Mitchell! God, how could I have forgotten about him. Might have to do a Being Human rewatch soon.

DunkandEggAgain · 23/10/2018 22:24

Nope. I'd be werewolf.
I'm black and as i get older I love more and more strong, fierce, ethnic, earth mother types.
My version of werewolf would be that I have an Amazonian figure - thick thighs, high and round bum, toned navel, strong arms ( Serena Williams!). I'd spend my human time in deep forests, open plains and by rivers, embracing the sunshine on my skin an loving the sounds of wildlife all around. Im naturally very happy in rural settings although im near housebound now and had to move to the city over a decade ago.
I'd be beautiful as a wolf and my howls would be melodic.
You don't get to be so connected to nature and enjoy life as a vamp - they're too cold, dark and withdrawn. Very empty. Their immortality is a curse.

provided they exist in the world where you're a vampire. In the Buffy verse there was only one and Angel smashed it. Also - still blood sucking and no reflection for all eternity. sucks to be a vampire (see what I did there Grin)

TheSageofOnions · 23/10/2018 22:25

Vampire. Better clothes plus you don't have to worry about worm powders or fleas. Werewolves really too ugh!

Icantreachthepretzels · 23/10/2018 22:29

I'm definitely taller as my imaginary werewolf self! But it's all my legs - I have ridiculous long legs as a werewolf. And my skin is tanned and my hair is longer - and wavy. Werewolf human me can stop traffic. And wolf me has lovely golden fur - like Sergeant Angua.

RiverTam · 23/10/2018 22:33

Dunk you’ve nearly made me change my mind!

QuimReaper · 23/10/2018 22:34

A vampire is my dream man. I'm currently watching The Discovery Witches. I wouldn't mind being an all powerful witch either to be honest!

^ yeah I'm judging that too!! Shock

OneOfTheGrundys · 23/10/2018 22:44

Vampire.
Sexy. Less hairy. Werewolfery looks... smelly and itchy somehow. And a bit messy. And surely you’d be naked in a potentially inconvenient place when you changed back?
Seems like a no brainer to me.

DunkandEggAgain · 23/10/2018 22:45

So vamps need to suck blood in order to live..well, would they class the kind of people who lived a really crap lifestyle as a McDonald's, for example? Like those who smoke like a chimney, drink like a (sailer..? What's am I thinking of..?), and who are on the wrong side of reasonable BMI. Would the blood of athletes be like eating free range chicken? Oh and I imagine that the blood of tee total, clean living, no drugs ever individuals would be like tucking into organic Fortnum and Mason Christmas hamper fare.

Kuntie · 23/10/2018 22:46

Vampire. No sleep. Can learn so much and get loads of new hobbies - would have no issue with completing my university assignments then!

Aprilislonggone · 23/10/2018 22:47

I used to be a werewolf but I am alright nowoooooooo!!

BendAndLoft · 23/10/2018 22:52

Can’t the twilight werewolves stop aging as well?
As pp said as a werewolf you can have kids and eat whatever the hell you want, I’m sold!
Plus you can go out in the sun without looking like to rolled in the kids craft glitter glue shite.

Racecardriver · 23/10/2018 22:56

Although EASILY the most ridiculous thing about Twilight is the idea that theyve been doing their A Levels over and over again for a century

This! Halloween Grin

I would definitely choose to be a vampire (hair everywhere puts me off/the idea of partially or completely loosing control during the transformation is scary). I definitely wouldn’t be doing my A levels over and over again though.

7Days · 23/10/2018 22:56

I'm thinking more of the werewolf lifestyle. Being a louche debauched vampire sounds great for a while, but imagine living in a seedy club for all eternity. All that sweaty leathe r, smoke, meaningless predatory encounters.
Otoh, werewolves run and lollop, Their home is the woodland and heath, they get the wind in their hair and a stretch in their muscles. They care not for the eyes of others. They have fits of animalistic passion - glossing over the mutilated bodies here -and then go back to normal.
It's predictable as well - once a month.

So it would seem familiar and manageable for some of us.

Vampire since I saw What We Do In The Shadows Grin

Dlpdep · 23/10/2018 23:15

100% Vampire. Maybe it’s because I grew up in the era of Interview With A Vampire and Dracula but I have always found vampires to be incredibly sexy. I have had dreams where I was a vampire even.

Werewolves - slobbery dogs, um, no thanks.
