Yeah, I got no defense for the glittering BS. I would have accepted the "they can't use their powers (if they have any, not sure on that one)" or "they're not as strong in the sun." The halfway-decent-once-it-found-its-own-voice-and-stopped-trying-to-rip-off-Angel show Moonlight had vampires who were gradually weakened by the sun and they made it work. They didn't glitter, though. I just don't think you can make glittering badass.

The problem with the sparkling is that she basically removed all of the downsides to being a vampire. I mean, it's not like vampires HAVE to burn in the sun, but if half the tension of your series is about your Mary Sue self-insert wanting to be turned into a vampire while her limp-wristed ineffectual boyfriend moans and groans about how it's the worst thing ever and he couldn't bring himself to doom her soul for all of eternity, there has to be... something. The most there was was the month long, temporaryi[/] bloodlust feeding frenzy phase which... Bella conveniently doesn't even [i]go through. There was really nothing at all to be reluctant about.

Nicely summed up. And you know what pissed me off too? Hey I am basically immortal, gorgeous and can read minds, I can go anywhere and do anything I want, I could probably change the world for the better. But you know what? I think I will just keep going to high school over and over again for the next 100 years, yeah, that sounds like an awesome use of my time... really?

Ha!  I share her take on James Joyce's Love Letters with every English major I know. Hehehe.  She is super awesome.

That is pretty much my favorite thing ever. That and Dude Watchin' With the Brontes. 

I love that one. Actually, I would be hard pressed to find many of her comics that I haven't loved. Someday I'll break down and get one of her t-shirts.

My husband said I should get this shirt when I worked at the library since I was allowed to wear reading related clothing. He didn't seem to see why they might not appreciate that.

The least believable aspect of Edward's character is that he's a hundred years old and still thinks a teenage girl is interesting.

@Not Ron ****ing Swanson: Do a GIS for "Oh, Mister" for a crash course, if you're willing to further burst your bubble.

Hehehe.  Dude Watching with the Brontes is so very awesome also!  I hadn't seen that one so I googled it just now. Lol!  I also love the one with Jules Vernes and Edgar Allan Poe.  I love faces she made Poe make.

Thank you. I'm only in my 20s and I don't think teenaged girls are interesting. And I used to be one!

Hey hey hey... to be fair, irritatingly whiny wet-noodle-for-a-personality bela MUST have had SOMETHING redeaming about her..


Really...









No, really, there had to have been something intresting about her..






O wait didn't she smell like a ****ing double bacon cheeseburger from checkers? Yea, that's totally got to be intresting enough to write four books about.

I like Ron Swanson and Fat Apollo as avatars equally. But Sheryl Chee is a fan of Fat Apollo. Find a Bioware person who likes Ron Swanson more and my entire avatar selection process will be thrown into chaos!

Man. Sheryl Chee ruins everything.

To apologise for bringing up Twilight I'm posting this Fenders thing yet again. I'm mesmorised by the andersbutt, I don't even see Fenris in it.

Tragically Anders clothes don't ripp and Fenris doesn't compare to Wolverine's badassry in my book

*gasp* The damn thing never rips that's true! I just prefer messed-up-superheroes comparisons to sparkling vampire teenagers for example

@highcastle: Awww that's true the poor thing, I don't know if I should kiss him or mother him now. I'm suddenly reminded of a Placebo song: I'll be your father, I'll be your mother, I'll be your lover, I'll be yours. 

True enough.  As I like to compare Anders to Batman or Punisher.  Sadly Esward does fit him, in the skeleton aspect of.  but what fleshes them out is completely different.  Truly her books could have gone some where but she fell short in the delivery as I am told.  I didn't read them, because I soon as I was told they could walk in the sun I was done.  

Edit for top, and sorry if I stepped on toes.

I haven't read the books either, but to be fair, original vampire lore says nothing about burning in the sun. Even Dracula walked around in the daylight, he just didn't have access to his special powers. The burning in the sunlight was an invention of Hollywood. The director of Nosferatu thought it would look cool. It's since become taken as "truth" in most modern vampire fiction. So...yeah. I hope this random bit of trivia served somebody well, because it's been kicking around in my head for Maker knows how long.

Oh I know, but the sparkling things kinda turned me off, not having his awesome powers, sure, lookes his actual age? Even better.  Just vampires should be grausig(Grusome?) I have no fight againt them being "good" as I love the vampire Lestat, but even he has a side of "I am still a monster." that Edward doesn't seem to have.  It bothers me is all.  I was raised with tons of folklore from home, I just feel she over beautified(?) them is all.  

Which is why I love Anders, if you read his little backstory and what you see in game(mostly rivalry) he is torn on if he should kill you, and it is clear if he wanted to he could, we see his danger.  I don't know if such things are adressed in the books with Edward...sorry for rambling.

Not that much, considering he's also an 100 year old virgin and probably has the mental maturity of a 15 year old boy. Not that that's particularly unbelievable by itself either, but the fact it's never, ever addressed sure is!

As someone who's only recently started posting in this thread, I have a question for the oldies. If you post a reply, come back several hours later, should you read aaaaaaall the pages leading up to the current page? Or just jump into the current topic with no precursor?

I think the fact that they KEEP GOING BACK TO HIGH SCHOOL pretty much sums up everything about the collective mentality of the Cullen clan. How many damn times can you read an abridged version of The Pearl before you snap and kill everyone in sight?

[upsettingshorts]

Only if you want to.

If someone responded directly to me a bunch of pages ago I might be inclined to respond, or check up on recent discussion - but it's up to you.

I only pop in and out. I wouldn't even say Anders is my favorite character though, just my favorite to discuss.

A lot of people don't, which makes it a bit funny when they mention something that's been covered only five pages ago.

I'd say that if you're posting a picture or a link, or anything that starts with "Hey, have you guys seen/heard this?" going back at least five pages is a good idea (even if you're just scanning). Beyond that and tracing the discussion you're jumping into back to the beginning, do what you want. 

And, like ipgd, I've read pretty much the entire thread. I do have a tendency to glaze over from time to time, though.

I've read every page in this thread but I don't expect most posters to have done the same. I would just suggest reading all the posts on whatever the current topic is. Although, that's not necessary if you just want to start a new topic.

Which is a thought that jives a lot better for my brain than Fenders.
