Teh Sparkly

[donnaimmaculata]

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 :-(

I am... seriously baffled. I used to think that the Twilight wank has been the result of normal fannish hysteria and that the novels themselves are so not worth all the excitement. And so when I read the details of the birth giving scene, I thought it was a Twilight basher doing some OTT bashing. But to think that this is supposed to be the climax, as it were, of the Bella/Edmund relationship? Craaazy!

*is very, very bewildered* *and scared*
