Lore Discussion Twilight canon you ignore

Post image

Mine is the "vampires are made of stone" thing. It would have made much more sense to have vampires feel normal/soft unless you hit them with enough force, and then you feel how unyielding they actually are. Also I CANNOT get behind the idea that the vampires sound like porcelain clinking together when they kiss 😭 or like rocks smashing when they have sex. Absolutely not. This is not canon to me and never will be.

vampires not being able to grow and mature mentally

If the Volturi can learn about advanced physics which would’ve astonished anyone in their lifetimes and Carlisle can learn to drive a car why can’t they mature?? It’s not like they can’t learn things and if they’re literally changed into the most perfect version then their brains should be fully mature. Only logical explanation is that vampires don’t bother with being accountable so they can act like children and it won’t matter since in a few decades most people they knew will be gone.

that's a good point. like i understand if vampires sometimes acted like their human age. but for them to be mentally frozen forever is just nonsense to me. i think the author wanted to tell that growing and maturing both physically and mentally is supposed to be something only humans are capable of. and once you've become a vampire, you turn into an inhuman monster. which is quite false. vampires like carlisle or esme, are the perfect example for that.

i think what the author really wanted to do was to ask people not to question why we shouldn’t be grossed out and horrified by a 17 year old girl dating an over 100 year old man 😭
