Fun Vampire Fact; the reason that Vampires traditionally cannot see their reflections in a mirror is because mirrors used to be backed with a reflective layer of silver — which, as the metal of purity, would not ‘interact’ with Vampires, who are the Devil’s work.
However, modern mirrors have used aluminum as their reflective backing for many years now — and aluminum is not a ‘picky’ metal at all. So Vampires are able to see their reflections in modern mirrors.
All I can think about is a vampire used to not seeing their reflection in mirrors for centuries, and one day they are just walking along and unknowingly pass a mirror backed with aluminum and THEY NEARLY SHIT THEMSELVES.
Silver Nitrate was also used in old photographs.
So when the modern camera came around, Vampires must of been enthralled by seeing their own image after centuries of having to rely on scared Artists to paint them.
Vampires would clearly be taking ALL the selfies.

Bob’s a long suffering Pokemon professor researching Pokemon diets, Linda’s the town’s gym leader who specializes in fighting type, Tina’s training to be a Pokemon Ranger, Gene is currently a Youngster class trainer (totally not just because of the shorts…), and everyone assumes Louise is a future Fairy Tale Girl when she’s really working towards being a Delinquent-type trainer.
Bob’s research isn’t going to well so Linda suggests he send out their kids on a Pokemon journey to help gather research (Tina having already completed her’s, but needing the experience for her Ranger status, Gene & Louise having not had their adventures yet). What follows is a complete mess as they run around the region, Louise using underhanded methods to win battles, Gene’s overly dramatic fighting style, and Tina doing her darn best to enforce every Ranger by-law she sees broken.
Uh…yeah, basically, “Pokemon: BB Version” I guess…don’t let me write tihngs.
Bad: aliens that insist upon referring to human women as “feeeeemales”.
Good: aliens that insist upon dividing humans into binary categories, but the binary in question is based on something we’d regard as trivial and bizarre.

Just to screw with us they refer to have designated half the population as “edible” and the other half is “inedible.”
No intention of eating anyone, they just like how uncomfortable it makes everyone.
Even better: the aliens all agree on who is edible and who is inedible, but the humans have no idea what the criteria is
Even better: there is no criteria, the Aliens just keep a running list of whenever one member designated a human as edible or not. People are baffled because the selection appears random yet all the aliens are up to date, so there must be SOMETHJNG
I love this because it implies the aliens possess either (1) a universal hive mind or (2) an intergalactic group chat dedicated to fucking with humanity
“Hey guys Steve Johnson just laughed at my antennae he’s edible ok?”
remember when someone made a doll for the sims 3 that would crash and corrupt game saves and also attach itself to the custom content of anyone who used it so it spread like a virus
just, a virtual haunted doll, wreaking havoc on real computers
