First off, calling something that looks like it has a vagina dentata strapped to its chin manly is just ridiculous. Regardless of the fact that that freaky looking thing isn’t a real vampire, and that the vampires portrayed in blade, while some what more badass, are just as “pretty boy” as edward. \
To begin, twilight is in no way excellently written, which is exactly why it’s so fucking good. because of all the strange plot holes,overt sexual metaphors, and obvious foreshadowing, it plays out… well, like real life. That its horribly written and filled with gaps on character development and just general description lets the reader truly mold the book to what they want out of it., Which, sort of obviously, seems to cater towards the pretty boy. Thats more of a result of the times we live in than any true portrayal of what Edward actually looks like. I mean, come on. Who actually has read the book and exactly pictured Robert pattinson? I don’t think anyone, but maybe the director of that awful movie, who didn’t even read the book/script most likely.
Its just that the target demographic of that book and the eventual movie was preteen/ teen girls, who are in the era of jonas brothers and other extremely “sensitive” pretty boy type models, more likely to base the ideal male off of their surrounding stimuli and the other overt suggestions society gives them about the perfect guy.

Straight off, vampires in popular culture/culture in general were never meant to be held exclusively to any particular gender qualities. The value they were given as monsters in movies like blade are more of us holding an unconscious jealousy to their freedom to do whatever the fuck they want, which in that case, was run fucking everything, and herd humans like the sheep we are. Of course, in order to make us hate the idea enough that we ignore vampires, we had to proscribe certatin limiting/ weakening attributes to them. Which in victorian europe, was easy enough. We gave them sexual freedom, limitless strength, and freedom of form. In exchange, they were weakened by the presence of the things they overtly weren’t. Namely, the cross, a symbol of the church, which had a lot to do with the sexual repression that spawned the idea in the first place; garlic, which was used in medieval times previous as a deodorant, also very much to do with concepts of human insecurity, and they are addicted to blood. which is a fairly obvious metaphor for sex.
I mean, the weaknesses, strengths, behaviors and appearances, which change with each interpretation, are nothing compared with the universal theme: that the vampires are, at the end of the day, to free, and thus they must be bad. Twilight even cops to this, and its fucking protagonist is a vampire. It just keeps traveling down the same fucking early protestant/ puritanical values of expression of your sexuality and any sort of power over yourself/ others is bad, and should be left to the good. And yet…. do the good guys ever get a lasting win in these depictions. Not a question. We all know the answer is no.
Blade has been killing these fuckers for four movies and god knows how many comic books, the evil hierarchy of human-eaters in twilight are still in power, and we refuse through it all, to let the original Dracula die. In the first book on this subject, stoker had him fucking killed. And yet, in almost every interpretation of vampires since, the fucker keeps coming back. And why do the “good guys” never win? I mean, besides the fact that that would eliminate the possibility of sequels?
BECAUSE WE DON”T WANT THEM TOO.
If vampires are a general example of the freedom to do whatever you want, then killing them off entirely means killing off all hope to escape what binds you. So, while technically in support of the general values of protestantism, the fact that these fuckers keep coming back is an obvious sign that humans aren’t comfortable in the system, unconsciously, and would very much enjoy a change.
And I’ve said my piece.
In case you missed it, my opinion on the picture is that it is a flasehood, and the book is poorly written enough that it allows ambiguity for the reader to project whichever features they’d like on the vampires. Which, as the reader base of twilight are highly impressionable 12-16 year olds, unsurprisingly ends up looking like the bastard love-child of the three jonas brothers and a young brad pitt. And has the same mannerisms of a sensitive preteen/teen girl. Duh.
I guess whoever dreamed up the thing on the right had a fetish for teeth in his vagina. kinky.
and…. I’m done.

@tetsuo:pimpin.
@RSlxidor: YES.
@kendobunny: nice blog. I like how you have to scroll to the bottom of the page to figure out who wrote it… YOU.
You actually took the time to go through PAGE BY FUCKING PAGE and kritik every little typo. Worst of all, you seem to have actually developed your own language to describe the happenings of the book.
I mean, I read through chapter 7, and I couldn’t do anymore man.
Its bloody awful. There is such a thing as asserting your opinion that a book you have read is terrible, without beating the damn thing to a pulp.
I’d like you to take notice that no one is ever going to read that blog the whole way through. It would be impossible. I mean, you seem to be jiving Meyer for not writing well, and yet, your kritik of her work reads like fucking javascript.
You should probably start attending therapy, you obsessive freak.

Sorry, I debated in high school,
It means the same thing, the spelling is just german.
