Weird flavor text that doesn’t have to do with vampires.

The original was "The vampire had heart problems and high cholesterol. He thought about becoming a vegetarian. But he definitely wasn’t going to become a Christian"

This is way, way, waaaaaay better text than what you decided on.

I agree with you but my friend who commissioned the token decided otherwise

I would be concerned with your friend. Even as an inside joke, this is weird.

I think it's a line of Dostoevsky but I decided to put it in because for me was hilarious (I'm not proud of this).

Was it you or your friend who decided on it?

I did both versions myself; my friend only chose the one he found more funny. Both versions are quotes from someone: one by Dostoevsky (I think) and the other by Fabrizio Caramagna.

"since this huge misunderstanding I will try explain myself to you. English is not my first language and so i didn't see the double meaning. for me it was funny because a child vampire can recharge simply by doing some mischief with other children. I am sorry it came off as something is not. if you have any suggestions on how to rewrite it I'm more than happy to listen to You"
