If you were human, even vamps think about it, would you be turned willingly?
I would be turned willingly....it would be painful, but I would do it....
I don't consider myself human...I'm a radish in disguise. And turned into what...salad...no way man...nooooo way!
Would you understand what you are giving up before hand?
i was born vampyric but im taking this from a human standpoint
if you had to think about it like this
your family would reject you
your religious peers would look down upon you for you have sinned against them
your friends will leave you for you have changed
if you had to give up all that you love would you?
Willingly.... hmmmmm... it would depend on my would-be sire.
I wouldn't blindly willingly become a vampire, unless certain facts were spelled out.
Since not all vampires are created equal, and most vampires would not offer to turn a human, I'd want to know why I was chosen, and what the consequences were.
Even then, I think I'd still probably decline the offer.
My eyes see more than most, and my heart bleeds for what I know. But who my heart bleeds for is still my choice.
after 40 years of working up to that particular moment, the answer would be yes-
Yea I agree, I'd wanna know why I was chosen...
Honestly I don't think I'd wanna be, I like how I am just now, but it's a nice thought.
I would also want to know what exactly it was that I was giving up. . . well, if I was to be turned. . .doubt it
i would be turned in a minute if i were to find a sire!!!
I would want my husband to be turned with me. Then he and I will spend eternity together.
If I had no one left then yes I would turn willingly, but since I have family My answer would be no I could not give up all of them.
I honestly don't know. I still have a lot to learn about vampires, and the more I read, the more doubts I encounter. It depends. It's never a "win or win" situation.
I have my own very personal reasons to want to be turned, if that's possible, and I'm still trying to find out if it is.
I also have many reasons not to, but, like I said, there are a lot of things I'd have to consider before engaging in such a life changing possibility. (and I underline 'possibility')
Still have a lot to learn before I can give you a yes or no answer.
i was a human not too long ago i am a fledgeling it has only been three months in to my vampyric life
You can't " turn" a human. It is a choice to live a vampire lifestyle.
Having read all the responses here i gotta say quite a few are willing to jump in no questions asked.Me,I am full of unanswered questions.I agree with some in here,i would want to know why i was chosen and who by for starters.But as i am now a father of 2 gorgeous kids i have no desire to leave them behind for that which sounds so enticing...
I would wonder why i was chosen, but I figured if they chose me then I would probably go willing. I think it would be an adrenaline rush.
Mmmmm...pain! i would do it in a heart beat again, if i had a heart lol
..Remember the frustration.. anger, split personality, needs and craves you can't have.. and well as to eternity - we don't really know whether there is an eternity do we?
No since reality is different from fiction.It would be only nice if it was like the movies.
Willingly, no.
Was I given a choice? Not really.
Events happened, I made my mistakes and I am now whatever it is that I am.
Would I take it back to being 'normal'? In a heartbeat.
Can I? No.
So, I just have to get on with it and be the best me that I can be, whoever that is.
Yes no doubt I would be turned willingly.
Reap the benifits of immortallity.
i would have to say that if i wasnt already a vampire...i would definitely turn willingly...Vv--vV
never.....
first of all turning the back to the world as i know, friends, family, love, work and everything i haven´t mentioned.
then the thought is not that appeling being stagnant in an everchanging world, losing one you care for in what may seem as a heartbeat in my eternity, i like the flickering existence of mortality, loving as there is no tomorrow and all that.
and what would immortality do to the fragile mind, could i handle it without goin deeply insane, and eternity as an insane person does not sound that appeling.
and equality among vampires that iseriously doubt, they are as powerhungry as the rest of us....
so a defenite no from me
IF there were things such as a mythological vampire as we see in the movies and they were after to turn me into one of them, no I don't realy think I would go willingly.
If I wasn't already one, I would be turned in a heartbeat. Well no heartbeat in that case. I have thought about this question over and over, and there is no question about it.
Yes. I would let myself be turned. It is probably my only escape from my life.
I would absolutelly jump in blind and willing. Whatever the consequences of vamperism may be, well I could deal with that when it came up.
But that's my way. I never look before I leap.
I would want to know what i was giving up but i'm sure i would go without a fight
I am human and if one were to offer I would turn willingly depending on the person.
lol u should all think about what u are geting into lol
if i was a human yes i wount mind being turned hehehehe wahahaha
Well if the oppurtunity come about I prolly would willingly, but i would have to agree with elderdan. so many questions
I have longed for immortality all my life my family would still be by my side as they always are my religin is my own and I can't be turned away Screw the sun just gives you cancer
yes i would be turned willingly... im fully aware of all that would happen but i would.....
Anyone who would give that up willingly, would you regret it later once you change?
I know several vampires that practice turning. They are not young either; they are mature (40's). I can't say whether the turning actually works. However, I was bitten (it was painful, not romantic like you would think) and forced to drink "his" blood. That was a few weeks ago. I was already having a late awakening as a sanguinarian, but the vampire involved doesn't believe in awakening. It's kind of complex.
i think that i might but the lonliness of imortality would eventually get to me
I would say no. If given the choice, I would turn down being turned (no pun intended).
I have stated my reasons for this in another thread (god help me, though, I can't remember which one), and I thoroughly stand by what I've said.
Et cetera and so forth...
I am already a vamp, but if I had a chance to do it over again, I believe that I wouldn't change a thing. It wasn't so bad. Vamps have all the fun.
When I was turned it was romantic, And my awakining was slow, I knew, And yes if iw asnt turned today i would want toknow why i was chosen as i did when i was turned. And it is not painful to be bitten, the bite is like a razor cut or scratch type, all depends if the other vampire does it rite. and how its done
Well I would want to know why I was chosen. But quite honestly that would just be feeding my curiosity. So from a human standpoint I would have no issue being turned.
I believe that if I were confronted by a vampire I would stand there and tell them to bite me! I wouldn't have to think for a second.
i would love to be turned
*tilts her head to the side and moves her hair from her neck*
Some of you people need to separate reality from fantasy land. I've been on the finger by a 2 year old, I am pretty sure getting bite by a vampire with fangs would hurt like hell. Not to mention the fact it would be difficult to break the skin enough to get adequate blood flow without puncturing the aorta and bleeding to death.
i would turn willingly not like some there would beone loss the only loved one i have. the only person that has been there for me. but that will be all i might turn crazy after 1000s of years of living just on only blood than again almost anybody would
I would be turned willing after I had my questions answered.
I would be turned in an instant, and i would change my boyfrind so we could be together eternally.
i was human and then i met my lord and became something beautiful i was givin a choice and i willingly did it and it was painful but not that bad i took to it very well and didnt have problems ive wanted this ever since i can remember and now i have it and it the best thing ive ever done with my life and your not really giving up as much as you think you just have to live a little different but you dont have to broadcast it its private and nobody has to know unless you want them too :) good thread by the way
Yes I would turn. Not everything is about love, or friends or family. To be immortal is what I'd want.
Hell Yes! in a black little heart beat! just tell me where I sign up!
I would very gladly be turned... *Jumps in line to be turned*
no human is really willing to turn. they have no idea of what they are really getting into.once they have turned they would want to go back.you should think about what you lose and what you get in return and if its really worth it.
Ok, guys, here's an interesting read on the subject. The source is:
http://users.net1plus.com/vyrdolak/livevamps2.htm#second
If you want to read more and the link above doesn't work, simply cut and paste. Thank you for leading me to this article, princedraven!!
Just ~think~ about this...
Those seeking to be "turned" should reflect carefully on what it is that they are really looking for. Few aspirants to "turning" have in mind the realities of being an HLV of any type. The goals they desire, such as a community of intimate friends and peers, a sense of empowerment, freedom from fear about aging, disease, and death, and so forth are better sought in other ways. Immortality and power are not simply handed out free of charge to anyone who wanders by asking for them. If they are available at all, they are available for a price equivalent to their value.
By the way, "HLV" in the above article means "Human Living Vampire."
jatavare i don't think it would be to painful because iv been bitten and it didn't hurt...
I believe most people want to be turned because of the beauity an immortality associated with vampirism. . . . and there are some because of the blood drinking. .. . I don't think that some people are really thinking whether they really want to be turned or not. I believe it is due to lack of information on how it works, another theory on why a majority of people are willing to be turned in a heartbeat.
i would be turned....
to see how the world would come about...
I would definatly want to know why I was chosen to recieve such a "gift" if at all it could be considered a gift...and then I would want all my questions answered and then and only then I would consider it and actually think about it for a while and weigh out everything I learned before I make my decision although the "gift" seems very appealing I have always looked at death as a gift as well so would I really want immortality if it was offered...possibly because there has got to be some way to die eventually but do you really want to find out and go through life for many centuries before you find your end.....There truly is much to think about before deciding but it isn't always a bad thing....there is good and bad and that is something that everyone would have to look at for themselves because the positives and negatives are not the same for everyone.. my posistive in being changed could be someone elses negative and vice versa......It would require much thought before I actually made a decision.
i dont want to live "forever" i want to grow old, pass on and be reborn to the next form
I actually would be turned willingly... I know the concequences but at the same time I can watch over my bloodline to ensure survival... It would be worth it.
I would be a hard choice. I would want to, but only if my friends and family were out of the picture. They mean the world to me.
Had this question been posed to me BEFORE having had my son (pre-pregnancy), my answer would have been yes.
Now? I couldn't leave him behind.
I can't answer except my girlfriend bit me while i was sleeping and i woke up in the hospital a day later almost dawn and i was put in a dark pitch black room and i could only see shadows in the room like night vision my GF my mom and my yonger siblings...
turn me now do you want my address or should i come 2 you
I widthraw what I said: No, I would not.
Vampires from Hollywood are an illusion and a missconception that's way off the reality of HLV's, so hell, no .
As urperfectdrug69 said....
"i think that i might but the lonliness of imortality would eventually get to me"
listen to those words.
That is all I have to say on the subject.
As a lot of you already said before, I would want to know first why I was chosen, and then it would fully depend on the situation I was in at the moment.
I don't mind the loneliness, though, for one can be alone without feeling lonely, that's just a matter of how you deal with things (or learn to..)
I think that if it was for the right reasons, at the right time (yeah, is there ever such a thing, LOL...) I would!
definatly i would turn willingly, that would be so cool to be a vampire...
yes, once my children are grown, i would accept the dark gift with pleasure.
lol@breederofhate....I would say no,I mean..it would be kool to learn new languages,to take up new musicial instruments...to live in far away lands & be rich,to come back to the same place many centuries later..but is it REALLY worth it,with all the things you'd have to give up?...My opinion,NO...I really like my life...I'm just happy with the fantasy of all of it...
so no..I would NOT be willing,no matter how cute the vampire/sire would be...lol
Isn't it always the UN-willing ones that are the strongest when they're turned in the movies?
In that case, why would I go willingly?
I'm taking this from the standpoint of a human, though I was born vampire.
I'd rather not lose my friends, family and be thought of as having "sinned against my society."
think of the perks....always think of the perks...superhuman power, the ability to heal quicker, learn anything faster, travel the world in an instant,IMMORTALITY....but all that fade away unless you have someone to share them with....that person should be loyal....it`s eternity for crying out loud....
it`s an appealing idea...but i`d better grow old, suffer from runny nose or be dissapointed in love than to see all my friends and everyone i love or care for die....and not be able to do anything....
still....who knows what the impulse of the moment would make me say if i were to be put in such a situation....:)
sad thing is that most people saying yes will never know how much they are leaving behind. also the pain of being considered an outcast by anyone and almost everyone.
but on the bright side, well, the friends that stay with you will be closer than ever.
My first thought is yes, I would allow myself to be turned. Then I think about what I would be leaving behind... and think again & my answer is still YES!!!
If I were human and had a choice, I'd say no.
I've been thinking this over since I saw it this morning...I really would say no, even born as a human. I did not choose this, and I would not choose this. The punishments of such a selfish choice outweigh the perks.
i would do it willingly noone cares for me know so nothing to lose
I would willing be turned. No one cares about me on the living side, so i could disappear without a trace and no one would notice
I'm not sure unless all the facts were spelled out and everything was kool
Yeah of course i would......I know your hearing all these people say it's because they would do it because they have no.....well I DON'T have anyone.........and if you knew my life you want to too.
Plus i have had a facination of vampyres since i was 4 years old and started watching horror and scary movies with my mother.......so you can think that i sound so fucking screwed up but i'm not i just believe in what i want to:)
yes...willingly and also i would turn the one i would love to spend my eternty with him cos otherwise i would have second thoughts
and to quote my fav movie slc punk, "that is whay i don't understand you americans, you're always looking for pain!"
I have read all the posts here and I agree with some and disagree with others. For myself, my soulmate would have to be included. We have searched through centuries to find our way back to each other, and we take all future journeys together.
I would for sure. No matter the pain, for I would not care. To be as they are, who would give up an option such as that?
Ahh I've been looking for a question that asks about humans...If it were me I would glady turn, I am getting sicker and sicker each day when I see what humans are doing to the Earth, maybe a Vampire lifestyle could help with that.....
I would have to think seriously about that. I would miss my family feverently but in the end I think yes I would.
I believe that if they knew about it they would, but then again I think they might be frightened.....
Wow ... good question.
I would if I could then sire my kids, my good friends...lol.
Not sure honestly.
But the appeal of eternity is a good one too!
I'm kind of in this position right now actually... There's this guy I've been starting to see. I try and get out every night I can now, just to see him. It's like every time I'm within his presence, I feel a pulling sensation, a longing to be with him during the day when I know I only see him at night, so I'm lost in hope to see him the next night I can posibly rush to go pay him a visit. I think I love him. It feels like I'm in a spell around him. He hasn't said he's a vampire, but he hints at it. Sort of... He's poetic in his words and I get lost in them, and lost in his eyes; they pull me in not wanting to let go, and I don't want to go, because in that instant, I am his, and nothing else matters.... Nothing... but him. And I want to be with him. He says he wants me to stay with him forever and ever and ever (ecetera).... He says he doesn't want me to die. ever... He talks in his poetic phases, of blood, of how human flesh is weak, how he could either drink of my blood and let me die, or, as he would prefer, a way for me to be with him, and one of him, and -part- of him forever. He describes it so delicately... He catches my soul, my mind, I lose all independent thought, and a strange sensation washes over me, as I wish only to be with him, no second thoughts...
The answer to the question...
I would turn willingly, may it be a trick or true, I would go.
i would turn willingly.... I have nothing to lose really.... every thing has been taken from me...
i'm already bloodthirsty enough, i don't think that becoming a vampire is or ever would be a "good" thing
my parents already lost a son and i've seen what it did to them. so i would have to say no. i i would'nt want them to loose they're only doughter...
why not, if you understood the consequences and everything then it would be a willing choice
