Breaking Dawn xD

First off, this is my Rosalie Hale costume that I wore for the Midnight Masquerade.



Run down:
- Golden contacts
- Pale makeup with purple-sh eye eyeshadow (my sparkle!face shimmer powder didn't show up on camera, darn)
- Rose accessories worn on various locations of my outfit.
- Lion rampant lapel pin
- Little black dress with ruffles bottom
- Velveteen black blazer










By now people everywhere on the internet are most likely sick of hearing about Stephenie Meyer and the newest and final installment of the Twilight saga so I'll keep this short.

I finished Breaking Dawn in approximately two nights. If it weren't for having to go to work, I would've just read it all in one go as I normally do with long awaited books.

All the leaked spoilers are now without a doubt, true, and perhaps twice as hilarious because this crack fic is actually published.

This book somehow failed so hard it actually wins. I don't think I have ever laughed so much from reading words on a page.

For me, there was a lot of contradicting feelings about almost every aspect of the book. Bella's character was a little more kick-ass than her old whiny self yet at the same time unbelievably Mary Sue. Jacob had some great snarky liners but GOD WHY? The whole Nessie+Jacob thing may the one thing that I cannot forgive. It says a lot about me that I can accept the pregnancy and the freakish vampire/human mutant baby but to throw poor Jacob in this fuckery? Even my rabid fandom cannot save this one.

All the loose ends ends from the previous books (aside from a couple of very minor ones) were tied up but everything was convenient to the point of being unintentionally funny.

I don't know what Meyer was thinking (or smoking) but giving Bella everything is actually not what even the most devout of fans want. There is an expectation for Bella to sacrifice something and let the story conclude naturally.

Breaking Dawn could have ended even half way and it would have made the book less agonizing. It felt like the book should have been split in two. First the arc with Bella's wedding and her pregnancy. Then a separate book to deal with the Loch Ness baby and the drama with the Volturi. As well, if Meyer cut down on all the boring fluff bits and added some more substantial plot I wouldn't mind paying for an extra hardcover in the saga.

I think the splitting it into two books would have also worked well into easing the readers into all those changes and how it is to end. Reactions to everything that occurred in Breaking Dawn could have differed greatly (with the exception of the Jacob's pedo imprinting. I will NEVER get over that >:/).

My random conclusion: if there ever is a chance that Breaking Dawn will be made into a movie, it could potentially be awesome...all that delicious gore and awkwardness. >:D
