Fun Vampire Fact; the reason that Vampires traditionally cannot see their reflections in a mirror is because mirrors used to be backed with a reflective layer of silver — which, as the metal of purity, would not ‘interact’ with Vampires, who are the Devil’s work.
However, modern mirrors have used aluminum as their reflective backing for many years now — and aluminum is not a ‘picky’ metal at all. So Vampires are able to see their reflections in modern mirrors.
All I can think about is a vampire used to not seeing their reflection in mirrors for centuries, and one day they are just walking along and unknowingly pass a mirror backed with aluminum and THEY NEARLY SHIT THEMSELVES.

Ok but I love this for a lot of reasons:
1. Excellent pun
2. Wasn’t snow white kept in a glass coffin while she slept? Very vintage fairy tale aesthetic.
3. A few people pointed out in the tags that a full-sized glass coffin would be a terrific terrarium for lots of the already spooky critters you keep in terrariums- tarantula, toads, snakes, carnivorous plants etc. And the coffin shape would give them lots of space and take the spookiness to maximum.

And the answer is that, depending on species, the males look about the same, just with different-coloured hats.
Observe.
it’s important to have a good hat
