A post by "Connie “iamthedunce”:

Vampires don’t live in castles, Count Dracula lived in a castle because he was a count, not because he was a vampire.

A reply by “iamnmbr3”:

this feels like a sensitivity training for how to not commit micro aggressions against vampires in your workplace

    But for an immortal, wouldn’t rising to positions of power be inevitable? Or they would also make the best targets to convert?

      Positions of power come in many forms. Dracula might be nobility, but a sort of Grima Wormtongue–type character could also (if it weren’t for that meddling wizard) carry a lot of power while technically being a commoner. Heck, you wouldn’t even need to have your king be a complete thrall. A vampire could just use persuasion and manipulation tactics to get what they want.
