''I just went over and stuck my face in my cats little fuzzy belly and he purred at me, I feel better now.'' That seriously made me smile, that was so cute. :)
I really want to know how exactly Esme has a difficult time conforming at the time when she's a quiet family-loving home-maker who's hobbies extent to art and resorting houses who had a career in teaching. That's -exactly- what was expected of women at the time. It wasn't like women had to sit inside all the time and do quiet actives.
Free will is important to her..? Does this woman even read her own books a second time? Free will gets axed CONSTANTLY, and she has the gall to say she's a big proponent of it?
Esme always seemed just plain insane to me. The first real conversation she has with Bella, at the baseball game, she just casually mentions how she lost her baby and jumps off a cliff to her beloved foster son's new girlfriend. Who's the first thing to come along in a century gave meaning to Edward's unlife. And Esme mentions how she became suicidal like she's talking about how she picked the colors of her drapes.
If these vampires actually were capable of moving on, developing, and changing, I wouldn't see this as too strange. It still comes a bit out of nowhere, but Esme could be seen as talking about something that led to her new unlife, but that she has also accepted how things turned out. Talking about losing a a child at infant stage is difficult. But that's not what these vampires are supposed to be like! They are supposed to always remain in the mental state they were when turned. So, Esme is still reeling from a very fresh loss of a baby, and suicidal.
As a native of Wisconsin, I can say, there are no cliffs in Ashland... If she'd settled in the dells or on the lake shore or even La Crosse, there'd be cliffs. Geography Myer, you should learn it :/
Oh, by the way. I don't know if anyone said this about the farm-girl thing, but depending on the status of the family a certain amount of respectability was expected, especially from 16 year old girls. My grandmother grew up on a farm. Her father was what we call a "herenboer", meaning he had quite a large estate and was a member of the lower ranks of nobility. That sounds more impressive than it really is, but it did mean they expected my grandmother to behave a certain way when ... (cont.)
While you've said all that Needs to be said on all the horrible f@(ked up things that happened to Rosalie and what a scary creepy bastard Carlisle is I've only got one question (one that I actually posted with no response on the Rose's story clip from the movie) HOW ARE PEOPLE OK WITH THIS???? I DON'T get it
@PhantomOfTheSchool Judging by this video and some of the previous ones, I'd say the whole Cullen family is responsible for that to some degree at least. I guess we lowly humans are just so very, very tasty...
@wolfmoon17 Well, to be honest, human anatomy IS kind of hard. Personally, I suck at female figures too, and frequently draw women with way too tiny waists and bums. It's not because I find that pretty, but because I just forgot to zoom out and reflect on the overall figure. >.> I agree though, it's bad in a professional artist. XD
Esme looks like Stephenie Meyer. A whole lot. What the hell. That was creepy. And Emmett was the cause of the family constantly moving??? WHAT???? And I always thought that was JASPER'S role.
Well, actually, she was abused first, and then murdered people. In the hands of a competent author, it could be said that after her abuse and made to feel powerless, once she was given power (made a vampire) she went a little mad with it.
I've been wondering that for a while: Esme wasn't that special to Carlisle when he met her, does that mean "love at second sight" is possible in SMeyer-world or is it just that Carlisle didn't really care and just wanted anyone to have sex with? And well, Esme DID have a choice, she choose to kill herself. It's just that THE MAN did not like the choice she made, so he revoked it. He's THE MAN, only what he wants counts. Mervin: I don't even think she realized what she wrote Me: Does she EVER?!
Okay, as a non-native English speaker, I'm just curious. I was told that nowadays using the word "blond" in a female context is acceptable. Possibly because that's American English, rather than British English (or more old-fashioned, I don't know). Is there some truth to that?
That quote made me laugh loud and say "WHAT?!" Free will is one of the many things seriously lacking in her books! Smella even outright states to Jacob that she doesn't have a choice with "loving" Wardo. "It's always going to be him" or whatever.
That...that picture of Ashland. All she had to do was change 'cliff' to 'pier'! Look at that freaking pier! She could have jumped off of that! Apparently Meyer broke her use of Google for research. Geez.
If I lived "forever" or forever, I would be like the Doctor: Travel all over and help save people. I would live to see the invention of Alcubierre warp drive....and travel all over the galaxy!!!
But that's too hard for her! Why should she waste precious time she could be spending writing for the umpteenth time how beautiful Edward is on stupid research? Besides, it's fantasy so she can do whatever she wants! *gags*
Whenever Esme falls in love with Carlisle at age 16, am I the only who is reminded of Pandora and Marius from the Vampire Chronicles? SON OF A FUCK, SMEYER! Most of this is just amusing as hell to me, but that part about Emmett killing lots of people pissed me right the fuck off. I agree, go right to Hell SMeyer. Oh yes, I know what you mean by taking years to feel comfortable afterwards. I'm a guy, but I'm still not over what happened to me, and it happened in 2010.
I have to wonder if Smeyer confused farm life with the TV version of Little House on the Prairie as well as, say, plantation life. If Esme was a girl from the Deep South, it would've made more sense for her to try and be a proper lady because she wouldn't be a farm girl, but the daughter of a plantation owner. Southern Belles are often associated with being proper ladies. Not to mention, if Esme met Carlisle as a southern belle, he would've been a wealthy man and so she would consider him a good prospect.
It's odd, how it 'freezes' them and nothing changes- but isn't it also said that they forget the majority of their human memories? So anything leading up to the 'change' becomes very 'faded'? I found that to be a plot hole-ish. :/
@BlueUncia ... she was no longer a child. Her parents also had specific wishes concerning who she would marry (which thankfully she ignored). Considering Esme has so many names, she may be the daughter of one of these more prestigious farmer families? Maybe?
I guess Meyer thinks the stock market crash and the great depression were caused when a guy named Stock Market died in a crash and it made people depressed
Wait, so because Rose is a blonde and Meyer doesn't like her, she doesn't get any Captain Planet powers? Does anyone else in the books have this or just her? Though the powers things reminds me more of Avatar: The Last Airbender.
