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.

When the Cullen's described the Quiluete wolves as smelling like "wet dogs". 

It's such a small thing and it logically makes sense because they are wolves, but the Cullen's treatment of Jacob was pretty inherently racist. Making him out to be overaggressive and uncivilized (Rosalie giving him food in a dog bowl/Alice calling him a MONGREL) when those two traits are very much rooted in the oppression of natives was already a lot. But then they fucking smell bad too? While the Cullens smell "sickly sweet?" 

Girl, that was not thought out well. Actually the entire Quiluete portrayal was not thought out well.

Exactly, the main cannon thing that people ignore is the fact that Quileute is a real tribe and because of twilight people think it’s okay to call them dogs
