ok but 21st century vampires 

• they go out twenty minutes after sundown and set their phone alarms for half an hour before sunrise so they can cinderella it out of the club
• instead of sleeping in coffins all day they marathon shows on netflix or blog or do makeup tutorials on youtube 
• and ok, so many more job opportunities like
• web design or extra cash from accounts on etsy or whatever
• creatives who can make a profit from their work by selling it online
• airplanes staffed by a coven who only ever take flights which take off and land in the dark, the pilot switching off to his co-pilot just before daybreak
• every undesirable night shift in diners and gas stations and transport
• night time road work crews
• they bulk buy coconut water because its similar enough to blood plasma that they can cut back on real blood
• transferring their raw wealth into real estate investments and inheriting the properties from themselves every few decades
• tech savvy vamps who make a career out of helping others forge identities and stay off the grid without encumbering their real world interactions
• using the internet to get in touch with others when you first turn
• international covens keeping in touch via social media outlets
• intra-covens activities organized via facebook events  
• treaties sorted over skype calls

wait no i’m not done with this yet

• finding ways to circumvent their limitations by figuring out how their bodies and systems actually work
• creating salves or serums or whatever to allow them into the sun for short periods
• vamps heading to the beach for the first time since they turned!!
• finding more and better alternatives to human blood after isolating which parts of blood are actually needed to sustain them
• planting vamps in blood banks to secure small supplies of blood if they cant go blood-free to make sure its done in a clean, ethical way which doesnt deprive the humans 
• starting a registry to keep track of vamps because the exposure of one could be detrimental to them all (after all, this isnt the 18th century, you cant just kill the witnesses or be written of as delusion or myth)
• collaboration with other supernatural beings to share intel and negotiate terms of coexistence
• actual superheroes whose civilian identity would never be found out
• vamps turning up to university classes and learning everything under the sun, constantly updating their skills
• new vampires seeking out older beings for the sole purpose of clarifying historical facts
• vampire library of alexandria with rewritten histories which are actually accurate and account for women and poc and non-white males who wrote human history
