Stephanie Meyer wrote because she had a story, a dream, that needed to be put to paper never seeing its earning potential. What she obtained is a very rare gift rarely seen in the literary world so don't squash this rare gift given to so few. J.K. Rowlings also had the need and look what it gave to her.

I honestly wished Leah was the main character instead of Bella after reading this. Her backstory is far more interesting than Bella's (then again, every other character in this story has a more interesting story than our main leads). She was dating Sam, who then disappeared on her, transforms into a wolf, imprints on her cousin, then Leah herself transforms into the only she-wolf which leads her to not only having to share a hivemind with her ex who's probably constantly sharing images of his time with her cousin but to also wonder if she's perhaps broken in some way because she fears that she'll be unable to have children because she's a wolf (with the blokes essentially calling her a genetic dead-end) and none of her pack is sympathetic to her in any way, she can't talk to anyone else about it outside the pack, and I can't recall if it actually happened in the book but I think it's heavily implied that the shock of her transforming in front of him after an argument caused her dad Harry to have a heart attack and die....like, yikes! And she gets so heavily sidelined like every other interesting character. I kinda wished she was able to overthrow Sam and become alpha of the pack instead of having to join Jacobs mini-pack that he forms in the next book, which she only joins because it gives her a chance to escape Sam and the hivemind they share!

This disregards that with someone that young it would be grooming and that with adults it may be societal pressure or fear that leads to this (like that guy everyone tells you give a chance because he does so much for you even though you find him creepy). But I do agree that the world is just very inconsistent the way it was written and becomes very problematic.

I guess because they never said he hurt her anywhere besides her face that I took it as a more intentional act of disfigurement. We never get to know Emily's thoughts so we don't know if she resented him but I was just analogizing it to the real life situations where victims sometimes do stay with the one who scarred them because they feel like they can't be loved by another. Emily might not have had a lover but it is true that anyone who gets permanently disfigured would feel very insecure and especially for a young woman like Emily without a partner it may feel like she can never find one because she is no longer considered beautiful by society.

Honestly Jasper and Emmett are great people. They don't suck, Emmett is very nice to Bella and accepts her right away while Jasper protects her in the first book extensively with Alice even though he struggles to be around humans. They are in loving relationships and treat their partners well. Maybe the two best male characters, along with Marcus from the Volturi?

Jacob from what you said never actually did or thought anything like that at all. It's just a weird set of events that happened without any type of control over. Like Yashahime when Sesshomaru ends up married to Rin. People said that he groomed her but in the manga and the show he never did or thought anything like that to Rin. He barely even acknowledged her existence. And even when the events at hand ended he's the one who told Rin to live with humans to understand herself.

And you can't really say extra steps when said person doesn't do anything to insure that in their favor in some way to begin with. Idk if Jacob in the books said anything to Belle when she woke up a New Born and she found out about it but I can say taking it with a grain of salt that in the movie Jacob himself said to Belle "It's not even like that. You think Edward would let me live if it was" and Edward saying "To be honest I'm still thinking about it" is a pretty clear sign on how Jacob feels despite imprinting and the fact Edward knew Jacob wouldn't do something like that even in the situation he's in but understandably still uncomfortable with it. In all honesty you can connect imprinting with real life people who meet kids and fall in love with them (not in a romantic way mind you) as a person. Like say when dating for instance. A man meeting a women or vice versa and they meet the kid and that man or woman has a connection with the kid and would be protective. You hear it all the time when women who date a man or is just around a man say their kid and this person have a great connection. Their kid has a Father/Older Brother figure to look up to. And vice versa. Its no different other then in the cases we know it can possibly turn into a relationship

I always thought that it was incredibly selfish of Jacob to keep pursuing Bella once imprinting was introduced. He admits that he hasn't imprinted on her, which meant that his soulmate was still out there somewhere. He has no idea that it will be Bella's future child. So who's to say that even if she did choose him over Edward, that Jacob wouldn't then imprint on another person somewhere down the line. He's seen the hurt that that exact situation caused Leah, why would he want to inflict that on Bella?

I personally don’t agree with this take because I really don’t think it’s fair to call Jacob selfish for pursuing the relationship because they thought imprinting was a rare it doesn’t happen to all werewolves just some so why should Jacob have to put his feelings on hold and never ever pursue anyone or any relationship just for the possibility that he MIGHT imprint in the future like it’s not a sure thing so to never pursue or have a relationship for something that might not even happen is just kinda messed up to say that’s selfish of him but also if demon spawn was never born then Jacob never would have imprinted

I’ve always been team jasper because his arc most closely follows that of the hero’s journey through hades. Being misaligned/in the confederate army; then becoming a vampire; the karmic hell of feeling the emotions of those he turned/fed from; the redemption moment of protecting Peter/Charlotte (not sure I remember their names right); killing Maria and living in Limbo; the message of hope from the maiden figure (Alice); the acceptance and healing from a righteous man (Carlisle); and the final battle which he wins not with the violence that led him to becoming a vampire, but the friends he has gathered over the years by becoming a redeemed man. I also hold him as the root of all my good hearted villain crushing. Wouldn’t it be amazing if I could be the Alice to Loki’s Jasper, etc. but their relationship actually works because he began to take responsibility for himself and choose good deeds and a righteous heart on his own 💜💜💜💜 This is the end of my essay on why Jacob sucks, Edward needs to act like he’s a hundred and not 17 and Alice is the Goddess figure in jaspers heart the end.

And Bella treats him as such.

It always baffle me how Stephanie thought about the whole concept of imprinting, stopped, and said "yeah, this is a good solution"

I have a very big issue with Jacob because he has an imprint out there so technically a fiancé somewhere so he can never actually offer her a loving future, can't offer her a long happy marriage and if he did convince Bella somehow to be with him when the imprint shows up Jacob will dump Bella faster than a hot potato. So Jacob knows this knows that his imprint is out there somewhere but he doesn't care he just cares about breaking Bella and Edward up he doesn't care that he can't actually offer a true future for Bella but is setting her up for heartbreak and abandonment just so he can lord it over Edward he got his girl. Yeah he is a massive a**hole of the 10th degree and so is his father and the other members of the pack and the tribe for allowing him continue this pursuit just because they hate the vampire's. I also have a major issue with Bella's mother I am willing to bet when Bella was really young she unintentially instilled the notion she had to make other people happy and put other people's needs/feelings first by that when Bella was really young Bella would ask why they had to move, due to Renee forgetting to pay rent 1 to many times, and that she wanted to stay, or about not wanting to go somewhere her mother wanted to or something her mother wanted and Renee would whine at her asking her "But don't you want me to be happy." and probably when other people asked her if she could do a favor for them her mother would say the same thing but it would be "Don't you want them to be happy." basically forcing Bella to grow up thinking she had to make other people happy and put there feels first not to mention having to take care of her scatter brained mother who had to be reminded to pay the bills, rent and go grocery shopping. Willing to bet she stopped visiting her dad and made him visit her not just because she missed the sun but because she was worried about her mother the entire time she was visiting wondering if mother remembered to pay the rent therefore thinking would she have a home to go back to, pay bills and grocery shop therefore was she going hungry. I mean in the first book Bella describes her mother as scatter brained and needing to remind her to do things, makes you wonder how many times that had to move (before Renee saved enough to buy a house then it was possibly mortgage payments unless it was really cheap then no mortgage) because Renee kept forgetting to pay rent or how many times they had their power cut off for the same thing or how many times there was no food in the house because Renee forgot to grocery shop before Bella started to remind her. So Bella was forced at a very young age to be a parent to her own mother basically parentification but instead of towards to a younger sibling but to an adult, also putting her mother's feelings and happiness first (probably was not happy her mother kept switching jobs but her mother would just wine about needing to be happy so kept quiet) also her mother wanted to go on adventures on the weekend so Bella never joined any clubs so she could keep the weekends open so her mother would be happy, so technically her mother was emotionally abusive/manipulative. Also got a problem with Charlie in that Charlie left Bella in that situation as did her maternal grandparents who knew how flighty and stupidly irresponsible their daughter was so all the adults in Bella's life failed her by leaving her in that situation were she basically as a young child became the parent to her mother.

We don't know if it's just with Reneesmee. In fact, it is implied that the imprint is with her because she has the same chromosomes, and the imprint has to do with genetics and looking for the best woman biologically to have the best descendants, and practically Reneesmee is the perfect woman in the universe. So yes, imprinting implies SEX. If Jacob hadn't met Reneesmee, he would have imprinted himself as the second fittest woman in the world and so on.

Twilight is one of those Franchises where the fan-created content is miles above anything that the source material or actual author have to offer.

They could've just killed off Jacob... I mean, his story arc got destroyed in this movie, and book (not as if he wasn't already a "nice guy" in the previous book) just... the "I'll just kill myself" card, and then falling inlove with the baby in the next movie... that's definitely not a happy ending for him.

So how are they going to remove it. It's a supernatural being, to which they have no knowledge or experience to deal with it. From the moment she was conceived she was special. She grows at a rapid rate, by the time they get to Carlisle it could be too late. He goes up there and comes back out with a bent tool. The only way would be Edward tearing her out with his teeth killing and turning Bella. Also who's to say after getting the baby out, it would be dead dead, it could still keep half alive because of her human half and growing due to their vampiric powers.She would probably continue to grow outside the womb she will need Incubators with blood feeding tube since she not feeding off of Bella anymore and she can't be breastfed either.
