Description
I needed to make some sort of presentation for my online class, and we're allowed to use flash.. so there you go.O.o I wonder if I should be worried about fangirls attacking me? OH WELL!
Anyway, there is some sound.. will be more later. YOU HAVE TO CLICK THINGS, and/or roll over them, in order for things to happen.
UPDATE:
I just read a PDF essay discussing Buffy vs Bella as female protagonists in vampire fiction. Its interesting, and fun, and I thought I'd share it for those who actually read the artist comments: [link]
Wooh! Feminism and vampires! <3

You, madame, You are a genius.
I wish I could fave this an infinite amount of times
I also don't get why it's still okay for Jacob to date Reseme (sorry if I spelled her name wrong 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Why thank you~ (also, I'm sorry my response is really long. XD)
Renesme, I believe. Not that it matters. ^^
Eh, that one is kind of either way for me. I mean, as broken as her rapid aging logic is (non aging + normal aging =/= rapid aging), you might as well say her emotional intelligence keeps up with the age of her body. Otherwise you might as well say she has that one aging disease... thing.
But however you happen to feel about her emotional maturity/intelligence, there's still an inherent issue with wife husbandry. That is, the idea of an adult(ish) man raising a female to become his wife. And of course, you throw in the fact that he imprinted upon her, and things are starting to turn fairly rape-ish, considering her ability to choose a partner has been taken away. (is it really any difference than using a love potion to trick someone into having feelings? There's no actual consent!)
So even if we assume her emotional intelligence will age with her body, she has still being reduced to a sexual and romantic prize for Jacob from the moment she's born.
Personally I'd take less issue with these things if Meyer actually addressed them in the book ever. The fact that things things are messed up, and have consequences should be relevant to the story and characters. And heck, if they were, it might almost become a slightly interesting story.
Also, I would look forward to reading the conversation where Jacob explains to Renesme how he totally used to want to bone her mom. There has got to be something Freudian going on here. XD

Tis a pleasure!
Although if she rapidly ages she'll eventually be like, 80 when he's like, 30... JEEZ MEYER, ADDRESS YOUR STUPIDITIES!!!!
So she manages to compose rape, pedophilla, abuse, sexism, sparkly vampires, all attractive wo/men, all relationships built on looks, 2 dimensional characters, terrible writing, lust (I just relized "lust" and "slut" are spelled with the same letters), G/Mary Sue, etc,etc... and still attract MILLIONS of fans. How!? HOW!?
Wow... that would be interesting...
Renesme: How did you fall in love with me?
Jacob: Oh, funny story, I felt I was destined to bang your mom and went to the extent to nearly rape her... But when she established she had friend-zoned me and got knocked up with a canivorious-pixie and you were born, instead of getting some DECENT gal who likes me, I used you as the rebound girl, and claimed you as my sex-slave-trophy-wife. And that was when you were 1 day old!
How romantic...

Haven't read the later stuff, but I believe she just ages until she's probably around Jacobs age. And then slows to normal. Because reasons. XD
X3 Its certainly something.

Yes. Hell. Yes. Just... Yes. Yeeeeessssssss. Thank-you. Yes.
You deserve the internet. One free internet to you!
My school teacher is a twihard/twitard. HELP ME.

XD oh my, why thank you.
Urf... I hope they're not an English teacher. *shudders*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You're welcome.
Nah, maths teacher. She's actually a really good teacher, other than liking sparkly "men".

XD well, everyone is allowed their guilty pleasures.

this is so true. there is not any plot in the stories, and she is only interested in is looks. Bella is somewhat superficial, and it is crazy how the only reason she wanted to get married with him was so she could become immortal and get knocked up.
But for some reason, people cant stay away from the books and movies
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Quite. One could write novels analyzing everything potentially wrong with the story and characters. Hehe~
But to each his own, right? I'd prefer if it wasn't all so popular, but at least its something fun to snark about for those of us that aren't fans. XD

ikr, the vampire diaries are a little better, the novels and the books. they actually have serious battles, and conflicts, and elena doesnt not want to turn immortal, or marry stefan because he is good looking
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm really not familiar with the vampire diaries. As soon as I realized they're day walkers, I run in the other direction. XD
Most things are better than Twilight though. It doesn't set the bar very high. ;]
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
lol, its kind of cool though, because in the vampire diaries, vampires dont sparkle, and they kind of need a ring to survive while walking in the sun.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
*shrugs* I have a hard time finding vampire literature or movies that really click with me. I like the Blood Books though. And if you want an interesting vampire movie, Let the Right One in is brilliant. <3
Also, all of the above have no sparkling, AND no day walking. ;]
Though I admit its good to know they have an explanation for the day walking, instead of just arbitrarily changing the mythology.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
so true, and let the right one in is sooooo cool,i never knew Chloe Moretz could play someone soooo greatly evil.
I'm going to look into the blood books.
also, im writing a novel between a witch and a vampire starting a relationship, kind of crossing both of the myths together. im thinking of someway that the vampire can go out into the outside world, which ever idea is going to be really complex
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You're thinking of 'Let me In', which is the American remake of Let the Right One In. I really love Lina Leandersson as the vampire, for her androgynous portrayal of the vampire Eli. Said androgyny being something the American version avoided.
Awesome. I wish you the best of luck. We always need new good vampire fiction~

I read the quotes.....
what losers these quotes are from
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
XD definitely scraping the bottom of the barrel. I'm sure the majority of fans are less.. insane.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I thought vampires would evolve to become more attractive to their prey, and they are supposed to be cool.....
I like Werewolves better too(not Stephine meyers)
not become gay, sparkley vegetarian tards!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I always figured when you're picking someone to live forever it just makes sense to pick someone young and beautiful. Or, you know, glamour spell works too.
Werewolves are awesome. =3

I'd want to become a vampire, but not a stupid gay sparkly vampire who looks like he jumped in a bin of sparkles before he got dressed. Like the sexy old kind.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha, I'm sure that'd have its perks!
I couldn't do it, personally. Though I DO like me some sexy vampires. I even like some modern interpretations of vampires, just not Smeyers. ^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Why couldn't you do it??? Vampires are the sexi!
*nods* Who writes a book about a dream anyways?
If I wrote a story it'd be based off real life,
through in some vampires, more drama, and waayyy
more fun. Then bam a sexy new vampire sexy book.
Teehee *sugar rush ended = sleep D:>*
