[VC/PMS] The VC's Heel Face Turn, and Lori Becoming a Mary Sue
Posted: Tue Sep 12, 2017 2:13 pm
Since the Zoom Comics forum has been locked, I'm continuing the poll from this post, "Would you want to be turned into a Hominus nocturna?", here. I got the idea from this page's observation that "In some fiction, vampirism is nothing more than a lifestyle choice; since these vampires get extended life, superhuman strength, and still have great sex from just a few drops of blood each night, it's difficult to understand why anyone stays human." Since the VCs get that plus resistance to sunlight and no aversion to cold blood, it's a wonder that they aren't the dominant cryptid or even the dominant lifeform on earth. Books like The House of Night and Strike the Blood! avoid that by not letting their vampires be able to reproduce, but since Stephanie refers to "however many other zillion" Lori's sired, maybe vampires are dominant in the 27th century.
The epilogue goes along with the turn from the pro-human PMS to the pro-cryptid VC that I mentioned. There's a subtle impression that Charlotte is more like a faithful servant or supplicant getting rewarded than a friend. The only one Stephanie seems to see as an equal is her fellow cryptid Lori. After Steph pulls her gag on Charlotte, Steph and Lori share a smile, then Steph tries to get Peter to "Tell mommy how hot she is!" Lori seems closer to Stephanie than to her "makers", even telling Steph to give Katie hell.
