ok but 21st century vampires 

  • they go out twenty minutes after sundown and set their phone alarms for half an hour before sunrise so they can cinderella it out of the club
  • instead of sleeping in coffins all day they marathon shows on netflix or blog or do makeup tutorials on youtube 
  • and ok, so many more job opportunities like
  • web design or extra cash from accounts on etsy or whatever
  • creatives who can make a profit from their work by selling it online
  • airplanes staffed by a coven who only ever take flights which take off and land in the dark, the pilot switching off to his co-pilot just before daybreak
  • every undesirable night shift in diners and gas stations and transport
  • night time road work crews
  • they bulk buy coconut water because its similar enough to blood plasma that they can cut back on real blood
  • transferring their raw wealth into real estate investments and inheriting the properties from themselves every few decades
  • tech savvy vamps who make a career out of helping others forge identities and stay off the grid without encumbering their real world interactions
  • using the internet to get in touch with others when you first turn
  • international covens keeping in touch via social media outlets
  • intra-covens activities organized via facebook events  
  • treaties sorted over skype calls
  • arctic/antarctic research scientist vamps who volunteer to go during the ‘winter’ (aka dark) months (and maybe a werewolf or two for the fuzzy and the warmth)
  • cave explorers/spelunking enthusiasts who lead tours for adventurous humans
  • entire research labs staffed with vamps dedicated to better detection of blood-borne diseases, and to curing them
  • vamp psychics using ancient prophecy techniques that have been lost to history (rather than the tarot and palm-reading standby most use)
  • search-and-rescue vamps using their heightened senses to find lost/injured people
  • night security guards
  • vamps who donate their wealth to charities because they don’t actually have a need for that much money and it’s such a hassle nowadays to transfer it to their new identity every 20-50 years
  • vampire teachers/professors who volunteer to take the shitty basement classroom with the tiny windows (that they cover up anyway)–and then decorate the room with cool lamps and string lights to make it bright and cheery anyway
  • vampires championing human rights (because they’re good hearted and/or because they know that it’s only a matter of time now before they’re discovered and if humans can’t be nice to each other there’s no hope the vamps will be treated fairly)
