    The last link killed me. >.< Sure, a father’s love is a good, awesome thing. But a father looks out for his children like that because they’re YOUNG and don’t know what’s best for them and can get hurt easily. Bella is a grown woman [by New Moon, at least]. She doesn’t need that. She should want an equal, not someone who treats her like a little pet.

  3.  

    She should want an equal, not someone who treats her like a little pet.

    The operative word here being “should.” The only one who treats her like an equal is Jacob, and look at what happened to him! Then again, Wanda in The Host is reincarnated as a sixteen-year-old, who ends up being petted and loved by all.

    Someone would actually want Edward to stare at you while you are having a shower? When will the madness end?

    At the same time though, it’s not bad Mary Sue fanfiction writing.

    Yes. Yes it is.

    And Edward being the creepy stalker. He is…I won’t say he’s not. But, well to be honest when you have the kind of dad I’ve had, Edward Cullen doesn’t seem so bad.

    So now he’s like your father. Wonderful.

    Sounds JUST like my father. He can be controlling, and severe. Never abusive, and yes there are times where I’ve been ranting about living with Hitler, but I do know in the end that he loves me, just as Edward loves Bella.

    Oh yes. He’s exactly like your father. Let me tell you a little story. I YELL AT M FATHER EVERY DAY. AND JOKE WITH HIM ETC... YOUR FATHER IS NOT THE ONLY ONE OUT THERE. deep breath OK, I’m done now.

    The response to this article rocks

    Nemo:
    “Everything in his life is about her, and… that’s what every woman wants.” Selfish much, darling? Not only is that incredibly creepy, it’s incredibly narrowminded. He can’t have hobbies, interests, friends of his own, or even a simple day off from the job of incessantly worshipping His One and Only? Oh, my God. Therein lies the path to psychosis, little girl. Grow up. It’s one thing to be important to someone; it’s quite another thing to be an obsession. The latter isn’t healthy, and it certainly isn’t “what every woman wants.” Don’t project your arm-twist coping mechanisms onto the rest of us.

    You tell her, Nemo!

    Great pic arti. Yeah she has that blend of beauty with “girl next door”. But I’m also a fan of “dark” girls with pale skin. I’m weird.

    It’s just a pity that she played Bella (not inaccurately) as if she had a hangover.

    I almost feel sorry for KS in this regard. Let’s face it, no actress would have been accurate to Bella and come off as having talent. What is funny is watching the movie and picking out moments where it seems like Kristen and the director are really trying to break Bella out of the bland mold she’s stuck in. The scene with her and Jacob on the beech wasn’t too bad.

    For me she’s kinda hit and miss. It depends on her facial expression. And on what she’s wearing. Like this:

    That’s just not attractive.

    I think she feels roughly the same as RP about her character. Poor woman. There’s just not much you can do with a character like that…

  14.  

    You see. She can seem attractive, but that one picture didn’t… erm, do her justice.

    No, I’m sorry. I wasn’t able to drool over Rosalie that much after seeing her real hair color.

    For those curious. Here’s Nikki Reed as Rosalie:

    Here she is with her natural hair color

    Dark hair just suits her so much better. That blonde look is all wrong.

  17.  

    Ah. You’re right. However—oh wait. I think it just depends on the picture or the time or something. “Twilight” wasn’t very flattering for anyone in general, in my opinion. No, I’m not a Cam Gigandet fan.

    Generally, I got the impression they were making her look worse on purpose, because We Don’t Like Rosalie Until Book Four, Dammit. Especially in the stupid baseball scene. It was generally dumb, but she got the unquestionably worst outfit.

  19.  

    But she’s meant to be gorgeous?

    Apparently. She’s blonde and her boyfriend/husband is a jock. Also, when she walks into a room, everyone wishes they were her.

    I’m sure vampires are supposed to be able to bite/claw one another.

  21.  

    Bleurgh, so not worth it.

  22.  

    Don’t they regen though? I thought that was why you had to burn them after tearing them to pieces. They’re like trolls.

  23.  

    No, they don’t regenerate. But they can move their pieces after they’ve been ripped off, so presumably they could still attack you while ripped up. That’s why you burn them.

    And yes, Meyerpires can claw Meyerpires. In fact, they’re the only things that can.

  24.  

    So wait, they can still control a hand that’s been torn off?

    That is idiotic for a condition that is supposed to be scientifically explainable.

    If the vamps were just explained as being magic, I wouldn’t really have an issue with it, but by trying to explain it via pseudobiology, Smeyer just makes it obviously impossible. Hands aren’t self-contained in a muscular sense, let alone a nerve sense.

    I like how Underworld did it. Vampire: bitten by bat. Werewolf: bitten by wolf. Both are the sons of an immortal. The third son was the bond between the two, but not immortal.

  27.  

    But she’s meant to be gorgeous?

    Yeah but they could have gotten a better actress. Or at least, one that didn’t look so “fake” as a blonde.

    like… why not Katie Cassidy? (and supernatural fans know she’s a natural Rosalie)

    Or how about Kristen Bell?

    At the very least, both actresses look good and natural as blondes.

  28.  

    Katie Cassidy would be a good Rosalie. She has that gorgeous blonde look that Rosalie’s supposed to have.

  29.  

    I like Kristen Bell but I don’t think she’s got the figure.

  30.  

    Katie Cassidy would be a good Rosalie. She has that gorgeous blonde look that Rosalie’s supposed to have.

    See? (QT has good taste! =) Not only that, but she can really do the “you’re dead” look really well.

  31.  

    Not only that, but she can really do the “you’re dead” look really well.

    Yes! Rosalie is basically supposed to bitch at Bella for 3 books, but she also has to be superhumanly beautiful and be able to be nice when she has her sob story.

    I’m only a recent convert…

  32.  

    My point is Bella reminds me a lot of myself, with how boys react to her, and being kind of socially awkward. She sounds a lot like I was in high school, and even my first year or 2 of college.

    Hmm… who would’ve thought? An awkward high school student! Most high school kids think they are awkward even when they aren’t. That’s why they all think they are just like Bella. Rolls eyes

    Sounds JUST like my father.

    Perhaps she didn’t realize this, but Edward being a father figure makes him even creepier. Not only is he stalking her, but now she makes it sound like he’s lusting after his own daughter. Shivers

  33.  

    Being kind of socially awkward.

    Depends on where I am. I oscillate between bossy and wallflower. Either way, though, I’m invisible to the male gender.

  34.  

    Returning back to the original point…
    It’s disturbing how strong a case this post by roissy makes that… well Edward is romantic.

    I’d almost say you gals have my sympathy but I feel embarrassed for humanity as a whole.

    No, I meant the new conversation about loving inmates.

    To be fair, there are lots of conversations about Edward being a creepy stalker and all the creepy merchandise.

  48.  

    I know NP, just pointing out a bit of absurdity.

    I guess my effort to get the topic a bit on track was unsuccessful. (or was it….)

    I would encourage every girl here to learn well this line:

    Her separation from those other women is a separation of degree, not kind. For every woman who writes love poems to cold-blooded killers, there are one hundred women whose hearts beat fast for an asshole who cheats, a jerk who lies, or an alpha who dominates.

    Recognizing the truth of our natures is the first step to overcoming and mastering them.

  49.  

    Human nature is naturally evil. I would dump all of those people mentioned. I hope anyway. I never understand those women who say, “No, it was my fault. I made him angry. That’s why he beat the crap out of me.” I really can’t feel bad for people who don’t even want to change their situation.

    ...because that one always bugs me. It’s kind of ridiculous. But then, most of the Supremes’ songs have dumb messages. There’s the one where they beg the guy not to go, and the one where, if they wait patiently, Love Will Come To Them, and the one…well, there’s the one where they tell the guy to piss off. That one’s okay.
