I laughed at your Raoul and Diego vampire pictures. Especially Raoul's picture with the comment "Oh well, I'm sure he thought of them fondly when he said goodbye." And here people sometimes draw Erik as a vampire. *chuckles

Yes, that's One Day More, accursed story. (Marriage makes people boring, my fanny! Why are relationships always used for cheap drama in comics?)
Oh yes, I've heard of Linkara! I've watched a few of his reviews and seen him in a lot of crossovers (I'm a huge TGWTG fan XD). The dude's freaking awesome!

That's just it - there are so very few cases of a couple in comics that fall in love and just stay together. Even in cases where the couples remain faithful, one or both will inevitably be killed or gotten rid of somehow. Just look at Runaways, and the three happy couples that had gone through. -_-
Granted, it's obvious that a relationship involving a superhero would have more stress than a regular one, but still!
"Mary Jane and Lois Lane may not have superpowers, but they can still manage to help out."
Word! That was why I loved Pepper and Iron Man in the movies so much. Even though Pepper wasn't super-powered or anything, she was still clever and capable and helped out her boss as much as she could.
"Although, if one were to look at it more cynically, one could say that, given the practically pornographic depiction of women in some comics, that those comics are really just soap operas/porn with magic and science fiction thrown in and that's why the characters are so romantically fickle."
LIKE HELL MEYER, YOU DID NOT YOU DID NOT JUST ROB ME OF MY TRANSFORMATION TRAUMA AND BODY HORROR!!!Preach it! The best part of Breaking Dawn was Bella's demon pregnancy-- it would have been fantastic if it had been in a proper horror novel instead of getting stuck in a crappy romance writ by an equally crappy author. Also if she had been genuinely scared for her life instead of in some kind of bizarre euphoria about the whole thing

"(Hideous transformations and body horror are my thing, yo.)"
Heh, you too? I was so annoyed when I heard that they were considering removing the delivery from the BD movie. That was the best freaking part! Now it's down to the director.
Yeah, an instinctual man vs nature thing would be interesting, except that there's never any "off" time. These guys don't go crazy and eat someone and then think "Dear God, I killed a person!", they just think "Blah, that wasn't nearly filling enough". Even in Marvel Zombies, the cast felt horrible about what they did when they weren't hungry.
Yes, a better idea of what a "normal" vampire transformation would be like would help. The only one we've actually seen was blatantly Mary Sue and Special.
Amen on the transformation part. It would have been really intersting to see what being a crazed newborn who hungers for blood thinks like and st see Meyer's writing style change to accomodate it. I guess it was too much to ask for, and so Meyer didn't even try

That's the thing - besides Carlise, I don't think we ever hear anything about vampires seriously having second thoughts or regretting what they are. I mean, Edward and Rosalie put up some stuff about that, but then they also look down their noses as humans so yeah.
Oh lord.... I ROFL-ed at Raoul and Diego. Especially Raoul because THAT was what came to mind when I read the book and had an epic gigglesnort moment >:D
oh byt he way, regarding the name norms in Seattle, it's pretty much regular English names, with maybe one or two weird names because some parents ARE weird and the Chinatown residents are bound to have uncommon names.

Yeah, that's also true. Even so...

She can cram a lot in there. A LOT.

I mean, I know Forks isn't Seattle, but I kept wondering "so if there's such a diversity in names there, why is 'Isabella' considered so weird?"
