1 | '''Basic Trope''': Being bitten by a vampire is violent, messy, and painful. |
2 | * '''Straight''': Bob bites Alice, causing her to scream in pain, and leaving large, unsightly punctures on her neck. |
3 | * '''Exaggerated''': Bob tears Alice's throat out with his teeth, causing a horrific spray of blood, killing Alice in the process. |
4 | * '''Downplayed''': Alice is bitten by Bob and whimpers and squirms in pain. |
5 | * '''Justified''': |
6 | ** Vampires' teeth are sharp, but far from the needle-like fangs of other incarnations of the legend. Tearing through the victim's flesh is a necessary step to get the blood flowing. |
7 | ** The vampires in the setting are zomblie-like, animalistic beasts with no regards to how hard they bite. |
8 | * '''Inverted''': KissOfTheVampire |
9 | * '''Subverted''': Alice cries out in fright as Bob bites down, but quickly settles down after realizing there's little actual pain. |
10 | * '''Double Subverted''': Until Bob abruptly tears her throat apart. |
11 | * '''Parodied''': |
12 | ** Other vampires watching Bob feed are put off by how much of a messy eater he is. |
13 | ** Vampire bites are basically the same as mosquito bites, just a lot bigger. |
14 | * '''Zig Zagged''': Bob is capable of a gentler bite that only leaves small punctures, or a more savage attack that shreds his victim's neck. |
15 | * '''Averted''': Bob is an energy vampire, who's feeding leaves Alice drained, but doesn't leave any visible wounds. |
16 | * '''Enforced''': "To make the vampires scarier, we should make the viciousness of the bite more gratuitous." |
17 | * '''Lampshaded''': "Bob, you're actually just wasting a lot of blood. Look, it's getting everywhere." |
18 | * '''Invoked''': Bob is capable of delivering KissOfTheVampire, but he wants Alice to feel pain, so he deliberately tears her neck open as he bites. |
19 | * '''Exploited''': Bob kills Alice, a vampire hunter, with a violent bite in order to dissuade other hunters from pursuing him. |
20 | * '''Defied''': Bob bites down as gently as he can, trying to spare Alice severe injury. |
21 | * '''Discussed''': "It doesn't look like two little puncture wounds. It looks like she was a attacked by a wild animal." |
22 | * '''Conversed''': "Why does Bob always feed like that? He's wasting so much blood" "'Cause it's 'scary'." |
23 | * '''Implied''': Bob looms over Alice, and moves in for a bite. The camera cuts to outside the house, and we hear Alice screaming in pain. |
24 | * '''Deconstructed''': Bob wants to be a FriendlyNeighbourhoodVampire, but the only way he can survive is by violently attacking people. This makes him hated and feared by everyone, and he sees himself as a monster. |
25 | * '''Reconstructed''': However, he turns to crime-fighting, enabling to feed on criminals, rather than the innocent. This lets him strike fear into evil-doers, and shows innocent people that he's a lesser evil. |
