    ok hold on like why is everyone obsessed with zombies like come on slow shambling flesh eaters really?? have you SEEN a vampire? they’re basically goth royalty with amazing cheekbones and they can turn into bats and compel you to do their chores ugh zombies are just like the participation trophy of the monster world and honestly vampires are the OG undead like have you read dracula that dude was basically a goth influencer setting trends for the afterlife and with the whole blood thing at least they have a semi-sophisticated diet unlike those braindead mcdonalds of the monster world like seriously gross and like super inconvenient plus vampires can like sparkle in the sunlight and have existential angst which is like the most relatable monster trait ever and zombies are just like mindless drones following the crowd

      Points for zombies:

      The isolation and dread caused by the entire world turning into flesh hungry monsters, including family and friends

      The body horror of being bit and inevitably losing control of your mind and having your body decay (also you can perhaps hide your infection from the rest of the group?)

      There are always more, they never stop. Basically turning human persistance hunting against ourselves

      Also they just make a good excuse for an apocalypse, with humanoid things to shoot
