ZeldaQueen: Right then, we've met the Sue spawn so onward and outward, right?

Projection Room Voices: Right. "Chapter twenty-three, in which more of Bella's Sue-ness is touched upon, along with the Sue-ness of her daughter".

In a logical world Rosalie would be #1 on that list hands down. But we can't have Bella not being the center of the universe, that would be too logical. UGh!

zelda_queen March 10 2010, 03:29:20 UTC

This just proves that the world of Twilight is either in a different dimension without logic or that it's all a figment of Bella's imagination.

Maybe this is my version of Twilight where Edward is gay on a homophobic family and Bella is a psycho who thinks Edward is a vampire (unreliable narrator ftw!). Bella killed his lover James and forced Edward to marry him. She raped him, fell pregnant and baby died and this is a substitute baby. What? Is as logical as this.

zelda_queen March 10 2010, 03:48:19 UTC

O_o And actually a LOT more interesting too. At least in your version, people DO stuff! :)

Ten chapters to go and pretty much everything's okay. Time for Meyer's epic ass-pull, then!

-_-

zelda_queen March 10 2010, 06:46:11 UTC

But that doesn't show up for another four chapters at the least. Until then, we get more vampire sex and Sue praising. XP

southerngaelic March 10 2010, 07:10:36 UTC

Oh, goody. XP

Carlisle finishes fixing up Seth and comments that he wishes "treating humans were this instantaneously gratifying.”. Excuse us for being unable to heal in two seconds. *is grumpy*
*Watches headcannon!Carlisle bathe his hands in spit* "Ready to operate, ma'am" he said with cold indifference. "Alright then Dr Cullen" his superior replied, "remove the cancer".

Oh, and we get updated on some stuff that apparently Bella missed over her two-day chapter on burning. It seems that wolf law forbids killing anyone that a packmate has imprinted on...More on the wolf front, it turns out that Sam and Jacob as Alphas can communicate with each other - again, this is just brought up now - Sam renewed the treaty with Carlisle, and Bella's transformation into a vampire isn't going to get retaliated because Jake gave permission.Well, that was convenient. *Headdesk ( ... )

/It's good that Bella finally has some "fuck, concequences" moments after 3 books of "fuck consequences". Finally, an interesting plot development where the Sue finally realises how big of a hole she has dug herself in to and needs to explain to her father why she has abandoned him and her humanity.
Bet you a dollar that nothing actually comes out of it./

Does *anything* ever come out of moments like that, where Bella or Jacob experience a fleeting moment of doubt or guilt, but then shrug it off and continue to do whatever it was that they were doing? Those moments only serve for Meyer to introduce a tiny bit of conflict and then yank it away. Bella doesn't care about anybody but herself. The few seconds where she actually reflects on her actions only serve as opportunities for her to whine so more and for Meyer to pretend that she's vaguely human.

zelda_queen March 10 2010, 17:29:37 UTC

See, that's one of the reasons I like Leah so much. She's aware of how screwed up her life is, but she actually DOES stuff to try to fix it as best she can. She leaves Sam instead of thinking "I'm so miserable around him, woe! I'll stare into his eyes some more!" and makes plans to go to college and take up yoga to help with her anger. Does anyone else actually do that? No! They just think "I shouldn't do this...oh well, I can't help myself". And then they find their soul mate and *poof*, problem solved. Because of course True Love makes everything better.

zelda_queen March 10 2010, 17:22:42 UTC

"Bet you a dollar that nothing actually comes out of it."

Of course. It's all over, by now Bella's just like "That was a problem? *whew*, well it's over now. Off to have sex with Edward, yay!"

And yes, Emmett is Awesome and deserves to be a vampire crimefighter with Leah. Actually, if Jacob still had his Twilight/early New Moon sweet personality, I'd think his entire team plus Emmett, Charlie, Mike, and perhaps Twilight-canon Alice would be a great crimefighting team. Just like those old '90s cartoons. *sigh*

*sigh* This is the first of Belmeyer's wanking. For five or so more chapters, there is nothing but glorifying the Cullens and vampirism in general. I know Belmeyer had a great time masturbating over those chapters...

And in the next there is that one line I despise with all my being: making vampires fairy-tale creatures. As a vampire fan, I screamed. Really, I did.

Sorry, for getting ahead of myself, but this part below brought me rage of unfathomable depths.

It was a place where anyone could believe magic existed. A place where you just expected Snow White to walk right in with her apple in hand, or a unicorn to stop and nibble at the rosebushes.

Edward had always thought that he belonged to the world of horror stories. Of course, I’d known he was dead wrong. It was obvious that he belonged here. In a fairy tale.

And now I was in the story with him.

OF COURSE! VAMPIRES ARE NOT CREATURES OF HORROR! OF COURSE!I wish I could make Meyer sit down and watch some Hellsing and its protagonist, Alucard. *points at avatar* It would ( ... )

zelda_queen March 10 2010, 17:32:22 UTC

Now see, that line just nearly rotted my brain because of the sheer amount of sugary sweetness in it, but yeah. Even if there are good vampires in a story (like "Vampire High" or "Cirque De Freak") the stories are still gritty or dark to at least some extent.

I...don't think Meyer likes traditional vampires. Which begs the question of WHY she used them in her freaking novels! I mean, I know her dream said the dude was one, but couldn't she have made them vampire-like creatures or something?

aikaterini March 10 2010, 22:25:44 UTC

See, I admit that I'm a sucker for the romanticized vampires, the ones who are good-looking, charming, etc ( ... )

zelda_queen March 10 2010, 23:58:49 UTC

Indeed! And at the end of the day, the blood-drinking is pretty much the *only* thing these creatures have that connects them to the concept of "vampire". Plus, it's just another example of Bella being a moron "Oh, Edward's so pretty, he just *can't* be a creature from a horror story! Nope, he's got to be from a happy land of unicorns and bunnies!"

"I doubt that you'd find many people who'd refer to it as a fluffy little animal that they'd love to cuddle and prance around with in a fairy-tale setting."

Actually, I did for awhile when I was a kid. ^^;;; But then, that was after I got the Beanie Baby of it...
