The sperm whales would call in the vampire hunters of the ocean. Narwhals >

Oh shit! >

Yeah, but they can’t prance around in fancy pants lording their superiority over everyone (except the fish), so… >

It's hard to brood dramatically when you're swimming. >

Can't sparkle in the moonlight in the abyss >

if moonlight is reflection of sunlight, y vampire no ded? ლ(ಠ益ಠლ) >

Because no vampire reflection. >

Vampires can’t handle oceans. According to lore, they can’t cross running water. iirc, to cross the ocean, Dracula had to spend the journey in a coffin surrounded by soil from his homeland. There’s no way he could inhabit the ocean. >

To be fair dracula already didn't follow established vampire folk lore worth a shit. Even this little bit while it isn't new isn't very accurate for most vampire folklore.
It did exist before dracula but not in most folk lore also it only applied to fresh running water. It typically had to do with how the water was seen as pure which has connections to holiness and purity via that route. So salt water wouldn't count as it wasn't seen as pure. 
Another explanation in old folk lore is how vampires have to stay on home soil where they were turned. Rivers, oceans and seas, etc where common and easy territory markers. So crossing a river would be leaving that home soil and that was the problem. So if you turned the vampire out at sea to begin with somehow then in theory it would be fine.
Now real world explanation is vampires and werewolves with the accompanying lore are inspired/originated from explaining rabies essentially. Rabies in the early stages makes drinking water very painful and people becomes very adverse to water in some cases freaking out when brought water due to the degraded mental state and the pain from water, this why an old name for rabies was essentially hydrophobia. So why lot really related to crossing water you can see where that idea comes from, if they are afraid of a glass of water what would a whole river due to them? This is also where vampire fearing sunlight comes from, rabies causes sensitivity to light. The idea they are very secluded creatures is the same because of sensitivity to sound. >

Heads up, you commented this twice. 
Tbf, they're both at the same count so you may have unlocked free karma. >

If he could somehow get the two in a feedback loop, he'd end up with a karmic singularity. >

I feel like we just figured out how to take down reddit. >

Vampires have fangs maybe an inch long.   Sperm whale blubber is 6 to 12 inches thick. 
Unless the vampire gets swallowed whole and starts drinking blood from the inside, they’re not getting anything. >

Sounds like you already solved the problem!  
Maybe also, like, a big straw or something? >

So the perfect place for a vampire to live is the inside of a sperm whale? >

I dunno if I'd go that far, since they do surface sometimes, putting the vampire at risk of sunlight. >

How? The flesh of the sperm whale would block the sun. >

If it opens its mouth maybe? >

This is why the Pope secretly blesses the ocean yearly transforming it into holy water. >

Deep ocean vampires hate this one simple trick! >

But are there any pale, clumsy, horny teen girls in the Mariana Trench? Thought so. >

Actually, I watched a documentary about Bella fighting Cthulhu in the Mariana Trench just the other day... >

Wattpad material right there >

I think I'll cave in and watch this lol. Thanks! >

It's... not that good. >

I've also found out since. >

And 100 years later they can leave the depths with their adopted brother’s body and hang out in Egypt >

Uh, if they were filled with blood then why aren't they called Blood Whales? Nice try, but we all know they're filled with jizz >

Damn, foiled by science! >

Underwater vampires that could turn whales into vampires?!?! Now I’m afraid of everything. >

Count Blubula the vampire whale. >

In some lore vampires are also repelled by salt, which would make the ocean… very tricky >

Back when Alan Moore was the writer on Swamp thing, he had a vampire story-line.
If I remember correctly- he had the vampires living and traveling underwater for parts of it. They didn't need to breathe, and no effects from sunlight in the depths. He explained that the vampires were anaerobic and the murky depths were a haven for them.. >

Alan Moore always did it first, I guess.
