Projection Room Voices: Ready to start again after your break?

ZeldaQueen: Yes, my "break", in which you forced me to spork another of Halcyon's nudist Mary Sue fics.

Projection Room Voices: It still counts.

ZeldaQueen: Again, why can't he go home? Is Billy really so cruel that he'd let his youngest child and only son walk around naked and hungry rather than let him in for a pair of sweatpants?

That could have been a bit of good drama, Jacob trying to see his father and having an argument. Instead we get needless wangst. Jacob is just a whiny emoteen runaway, "You don't understand, I can't go hoooome" and all that. Jacob, has Billy himself actually kicked you out?

Yes, of course he has an X-ray machine upstairs.

You know, I wouldn't put it past Carlisle (or is it headcannon!Carlisle, I like him) to have a collection of old medical machienery, but since I just made that up...
FAIL Meyer and your convenient plot devices. FAIL.
Also, BIOLOGY FAIL for Bella still drinking blood and getting better. And the rib thing.

Keep up the good work!

That's true! Or it could have been a nice bit of heartwarming, if we got the "you'll always be welcome home" sort of thing. But yeah, instead it turns into a "it's me against the world" thing, for no good reason.

You know, if that were the case and if Bella (or Jacob) had some sort of interest in those sorts of things, that might have been kind of interesting. Ah well, Meyer probably would have gotten it wrong if she did.

I know, right? And Meyer really has no excuse, she's got children! She's been pregnant herself, she ought to know how it works! And yeah, I'm pretty sure that a broken rib is a LOT more painful than that.

Thanks! And thank you for reading! :)

it's not that billy wouldn't let him in, it's that sam's pack could gang up on him and hold him down or something to keep him out of the fight and then go attack while his pack is down a wolf (which is 1/3 of the pack right now... and i think he's supposed to be the best fighter.)

so basically, it's a huge tactical disadvantage.

But there's really nothing stopping them from doing that most any time, is there? I can understand that argument, but it just feels... off considering how it's pretty obvious where Jacob is, and that he's about fifteen minutes from his home or so. Not to mention that Jacob pretty readily disabled the phone and kept Billy from contacting anyone when he initially walked out to kill Edward.

/And given that Meyer's said that one of Bella's TEACHERS found her very attractive and that (or so I've heard) the original version of "Twilight" had her go to Forks because her stepdad was coming on to her...yeep ( ... )

"Ugh, now I'm reminded of another annoying trend in Meyer's work. Not only is family seen as petty and disposable, but so is friendship. Bella completely ditches her friends the moment that she marries Edward. In Cassandra Claire's "Mortal Instruments" trilogy, the protagonist, Clary, constantly fails to stand up for her best friend, Simon, whenever her love interest, Jace, belittles him - even when he does it right in front of her! Simon is supposed to be her best friend, yet Clary utters not a peep of protest (or, when she does, it's temporary and half-hearted) whenever Jace or his buddies insult him ( ... )
