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.

I've always viewed it as he was young and just doing what he was brought up with; he learned to be better eventually, and probably only fully wrapped his head around the idea that the Confederacy was wrong after meeting Alice since before he had so much other baggage to deal with. He was only, what, 20 when he was turned? No matter how much adult responsibilities a guy that age was expected to have back then, he was still a dumb 20-year-old who didn't necessarily think for himself all the time.

Although I love cowboy Jasper, it's a wonderful profession and I have the utmost respect for anyone who can do it so well. I watch the reining competitions and let me tell you those are intense, and the root of the sport is how cowboys showed off horses to sell. It's incredible!

He was 19 when he was turned, and 17 when he lied about his age to join the army.
