Iโm just going to open up dialogue about the Cullens accidentally changing an animal. Like, thatโs how some humans get changed, right? If a vampire gets interrupted while feeding? What would happen if something happened while Emmett was drinking and then 3 days later we have a demonic bear with super strength on our hands?
i wonder if that would create a deeply weird version of the immortal children debacle. Like suddenly you have a giant animal that you can't ask to please not feed in public but then they mostly want to suck the blood of their own species? so then humans might reverse-engineer that to figure out human!vampires exist? idk
I wonder how difficult killing a vampire bear would be? You would think that their strength would increase proportionally; a bear is stronger than a human, therefore a vampire bear would be stronger than a vampire person. I feel like itโs something that would happen once and everyone would be like โoh shit we canโt let that happen ever againโ because it took 6 vampires to take him down, but then once word spread to the south, theyโd be making armies of vampire bears instead of newborns.
Oh to be a vampire frolicking in the forest of Washington right about now
thinking again about vampirism as disability
what if you slept all day and woke at night, lonely and frustrated. what if you couldn't go to social events, or even mundane public spaces like stores. what if you couldn't see the sun. what if you couldn't go to the pool, or the beach, or the creek. what if you couldn't eat what everyone else is eating. what if you couldn't eat at all. what if your basic needs came at the cost of your loved ones' quality of life. what if you became agitated, confused, maybe even violent if your needs weren't met. what if people blamed your behavior on demons, or worse, your own inherent evil. what if people saw you as a threat to your own community. what if the default response to your suffering was either indifference or violence. what if people thought you were better off dead, that you no longer count as human, that they're doing you a favor by letting you disappear. what if people assumed you must somehow deserve all of this. what about that.
Couldn't find the original post this morning but was thinking again about how Bella survived almost everything that 'killed' the other Cullens. She survived (and remained human) being hunted by James (Alice).
She survived (and remained human) being bitten by a vampire (Carlisle, Jasper). She survived jumping off a cliff (Esme). She was saved from being attacked by a group of men (Rosalie).
Didn't she have the flu or something in New Moon? (Edward)
The only one she didn't was Emmett. But you could argue Paul phasing and Jacob protecting her is sort of similar to a 'bear' attack?
I remember someone brought this up to SM at a Q&A once and she was like, "oh interesting, I hadn't thought of that!" so it doesn't seem to have been intentional, or at least not consciously so. It's probably just a function of the 'danger magnet' stuff and Bella being the MC who needed to survive for the story to continue.
and of course, she's ""smart"" enough to just cut her arm rather than stab herself in the heart, thereby surviving what killed the Third Wife
You should let a creature own you btw
If a creature takes you to their den and is licking you and purring and then they give you enough room to break free and escape thats a test, do the right thing and bury yourself in their fur. You don't want to make creature sad do you.
What are they looking at? Wrong answers only.

THE TWILIGHT SAGA: ECLIPSE [2010] RIVERDALE: S1E10 [2016]
I love to think that there are great, exaggerated family legends about Uncle Emmett in the McCarty family. That they're like oh yeah he went out hunting one day and never came back, but his brothers went looking for him and found some ripped clothing next to the carcass of the biggest bear they'd ever seen. A monster. He fought that thing to the death! The bear might have gotten him, but the bear died too. It was a draw, so it means he never lost a fight. He was badass. And 7ft tall. Built of solid muscle. All the girls loved him. He was your great-grandma's favorite. etc, etc.
One year Rosalie and Emmett show up at a McCarty family reunion. There are so many cousins and aunts and uncles no one really questions it, and they're listening to these stories and Emmett's just loving every second of it; they remember him and he's become this family legend, a tall tale, their very own Paul Bunyan or whatever
Meanwhile Rosalie is muttering in the back, "I'm happy for Emmett and all, but I killed that bear."
