Carmilla the series

No. I'm talking about the weight on your shoulders and the pain behind your eyes.

Feeling 40 has nothing to do with being 40, mostly.
 
Gee, you make it sound so horrible. 40 can't be that bad! I see it as a time to reflect on your life up until that point, and where you want to go next.
 
40 is when all your hot friends start getting divorced.

Remember that guy you were into, but he was married with children by 22?

40 is when you suit up, and get some of that after he signs the paperwork and throws his ring into the ocean.
 
But what if when you reach 40, none of your friends are hot?

Heck, none of my friends are hot now. Though maybe it's because I don't see them "that way."
 
How we judge beauty also changes as we get older.

Or at least that's how normal people stay off the sex offenders registry.
 
I wonder what registry a 300 year old vampire with a 19 year old trophy co-ed is on? Tangent to that, will the series have Laura's backstory stay with the book and her mother's family being descended from the Karnsteins. We could be looking at Vampire Dueling Banjos down the line.

Three centuries down, that connection is very distant, of course. However, it could be something that becomes part of re-appreciating Laura from Mattie. While Mattie is a sister in Death, Laura actually is family which connects Carmilla to a humanity she has thought long since lost.

In the book, there is implication that Carmilla is targeting descendants of the Karnsteins. Rather like, gathering a family she can have in death. The series has used a lot of themes from the book, inverting them into something positive, so I wonder if they might do that here. Have Carmilla learn she is not cut off from humanity because her Karnstein family does live on?
