Teh Sparkly

Everything I know about Twilight I have learned from my flist, and I know that I will never, ever read the books. I never intended to waste any words on them, either, but I would like some confirmation that what I've now read is true:

Bella gives birth to Edmund's Sparkly!Vampire!Magical!WerewolfSoulmate!Baby and the following things happen in the process:

a) she pukes blood
b) the Sparkly!Vampire!Magical!WerewolfSoulmate!Baby breaks her pelvis and her spine
c) Edmund uses his awesome sparkly marble teeth to bite the Sparkly!Vampire!Magical!WerewolfSoulmate!Baby free from the womb

Really? I mean, seriously? Because if so, then this is the most beautiful cracky squick ever, and I am seriously impressed with SMeyer. I would have never dared to put anything like that into a novel I intend to be published and read by children.

Then again, I am not a romantic :-(

Every word true, your honour!

It is the fandom that cannot be crack ficced - nothing can be as face-palmy as the canon!

Who's the narrator, then? And does s/he narrate the whole novel? And if so, how can s/he know the pillow-biting details of the wedding night?

Am I overthinking this? I rather think I am.

I think the werewolve who's in love with her (who then imprints on her baby, because that isn't weird) is narrating that particular passage.

But the werewolf does some chapters and Bella does the rest. I think.

Shame. I think Bella should narrate the birth scene.

SMeyer took the whole werewolves-mate-for-life scenario to a whole new level, didn't she?

It's her narrating the first three books.

Then this car-crash last one is divided into three 'books' - she narrates the first - waking up after her wedding night, covered in feathers, and he says 'I bit a few pillows' (utter bottom) - then the werewolf who has always loved her and tried to force himself on her - narrates the second part, including the birth scene, and imprinting on the new born baby - I think it goes back to Bella narrating the third part??

I haven't actually read this one.

I never knew of the existence of the werewolf until I came across the spoilers wank a few days ago. I always thought it was just Bella and Edward.

I am, however, developing a deep affection for the werewolf. He's so beautifully fucked-up - I think he and Fenrir would get on like a house on fire, up to and including their affinity for young children.

Fenrir, too, only "imprinted" himself on Remus!

The pillow-biting scene had me shriek with glee.

I'm still not sure, though, whether SMeyer really doesn't know what the term refers to (which would be, like, dude) or, um, yeah... *brain shuts down*

Damn, I needa read books #2 and 3. And # 4. For real, that is, not via fandom ;D

I... maybe a good Mormon mother of twelve wouldn't know the term - but none of her editors??

Unless they all pissed themselves laughing and left it in...

Need the pdfs??

I like that theory. *nods*

Pdf??? OMG I'll be your slave forevah!

Heh! I can actually imagine that normal people are not aware of the meaning. I know I often come across RL people whom I would expect to be familiar with, ah, relevant terminology, but then it turns out I've got to explain the bloody obvious.

Some time ago, I had to explain what "butt plugs" are - to a woman in her 20s, who studies media and knows her way around the Internet. And has a sex life, presumably. I was quite shocked, I can tell you.

ugh, I fell really, really dumb right now - please enlight me about "pillow-biting"?

pillow biter

Seeing that SMeyer has frequently claimed in interviews that 'her characters don't tell her everything', it seems that Edward has been more than secretive about some, um, things :DDD

Ahaha! I love the idea of Edward keepin his sexual orientation secret from his creator. There's a meta fic in there somewhere.

With all that sparkling going on, Edward would be the star of every gay pride parade in the world.
