I don't know why she decided that vampires have to sparkle, but that's just wrong >.<

-cuddles Gozed weakly- I am reallly tired. long, long, not very happy day. Just starting to recover. Have homework to do. And gotta go to eat. So I will be kinda on/off. Sowwy. 38

Awww, I don't know how much longer I'll be up actually, I'm hungry but I'm already in bed and its too soft to leave...

Am I just a rarity in that I'm someone who dislikes Twilight, but I don't care that the vampires sparkle?

I just mock the sparkles, I read Twilight, and didn't have a problem with it really till the last book.

yes Wiggles, you are an oddity. :D

Honestly, the sparkling vampires were the least of my problems with those books. I don't know why everyone is so up in arms over them.

They actually make sense, in spite of Stephanie Meyer's stupidity with describing them. The vampires are supposed to be the most beautiful things on the earth in order to lure in prey - ugly people who are made vampires are suddenly beautiful. The sparkling is supposed to sort of enhance that. Granted, Stephanie Meyer should have stuck with this explanation instead of posting on her website that "vampires are hard as diamonds, so their skin is actually diamonds!". She's so much better if she doesn't try to science up her bullshit. She's still not good, but sooo much better.

Anyways, I think people forget that even Dracula didn't burst into flames in sunlight. The fire-in-sunlight was a fabrication in the same way that Twilight's sparkles are, the only difference being that it was based in religion instead of a silly authors "Ooooh, it's so purty derp derpp" imagination. Sunlight was supposed to be "the light of God". Vampires are creatures bound for hell. Hell Creatures + Light Of God = Burny burny.

Since Twilight's vampires had nothing about them that was Christianity or religiously linked, it'd be silly that they burst into flames like the religiously-linked vampires.

Why the hell are we talking about Twilight again? Dx

my whole problem with that....is that vampires just aren't supposed to be pretty. handsome in a creepy pale sort of way I can live with, but definitely not drop-dead gorgeous.

Why can't some be? Some humans look great but others makes you wanna strip them on the street. :B

because Vampires are undead and 5 times my age. why aren't Zombies gorgeous? dead things shouldn't be pretty! D:

Beauty makes people drop their guard. It's sort of been drilled into our heads all our lives - through fairytales and folk tales, especially - that evil people are ugly, and beautiful people are good. Just look at Cinderella and the Ugly Stepsisters, the prevalence of "old crones" who turn out to be evil witches. And the fact that, usually, the first thing described of the protagonist in those old stories is that they're "very pretty" or "beautiful."

Vampires being beautiful makes perfect sense to me.

I guess that makes sense, but it doesn't make me like the sparkles any more than I did. XD

have to run to class now. bye everyone!

Who cares? they aren't real. You can make them whatever you want.

Werewolves > Vampires anyway. :P

In the Werewolf story I'm writing the vampires burst into flames just because I want them to...
