as you may or may not be aware, I’m in charge of all western media vampire lore and if ur a white author who makes dark-skinned humans become light-skinned when they become vampires your story sucks sorry I’d say I don’t make the rules but in fact I do make the rules

would also like to be very clear that “but vampires are supposed to be pale/look sickly” is not an argument bc people of color get sick and pale irl and they don’t become white ppl can be dark-skinned and pale so jot that down

We go greyish in a shade appropriate to our skin tone, and even then the areas around our eyes, cuticles, knuckles, elbows and knees will show our typical tone even when the rest of us gets washed out.

So, our skin may lose it’s vibrancy, or even a shade or two from lack of sun, but no, we’ll never get as white as people like to portray us.
