      The fact that the Cullens call themselves "siblings" and genuinely seem to mean it is really up there on the list of unintentionally creepy things about the story

      The fact that Carlisle Cullen has to be their "father" and patriarch and they can't think of any other metaphor to organize their found family around is part of what makes this story so obviously... Mormon

      Btw if you accept the whole idea of vampires "siring" each other and making a new family tree when they turn humans into vampires then... Emmett still isn't Rosalie's "brother", because she turned him herself, not Carlisle He's her "son"

      Just like Bella is turned by Edward himself in the end so she's his "daughter" (See, this metaphor isn't good and you shouldn't use it)

      And the thing is, there's no reason you can't have a family metaphor for *some* characters - if people want to be siblings, or someone wants to adopt a younger vampire. But applying it to all just gets... tangled, to put it politely.

      Weirdly for all the other ways Laszlo and Nadja make everything weird in What We Do In The Shadows, they don't lean on this one? They just refer to each other as husband and wife like normal people, never mind that she "sired" him.

      I mean if you already had "Till death do us part" in your vows... this is just extending it a wee bit.

      They only met when she had been a vampire for a while. It was basically the now-classic vampire "siring" story. But they got vampire-married and it's now the most normal thing about them.

      The Twilight books also dive headfirst into this question of "How old are you" when you're a vampire, since it apparently means you stop aging not only physically but psychologically

      Like Rosalie is Edward's "little sister" chronologically (by fifteen years) but she's "18" and he's "17"

      The ending of the original WWDITS movie was Viago finally reconnecting with the love of his life and turning her at the age of 90, which he doesn't seem to mind, and considers to be "robbing the cradle" on his part
