トワイライト・シリーズ Article: Vampire Confusion

posted by vampiress015

I was just thinking about Twilight-as always, and well I'm a little stuck, and I need your help.

So Vampires, Blood-Suckers, Leeches, whatever あなた wanna call 'em, they're amazing, right? But then again they have their faults: they have a thirst that water won't solve, they have to keep moving around so they don't attract attention etc etc.
But then I thought about this one, I was answering a pick about Rosalie (good pick btw teNaxx, there's a リスペクト coming your way) and I kinda voiced my opinion about her 表示中 everyone that being a vampire isn't that great. At the time I was thinking about her not being able to have children...and that's when it struck me, there are so many things we don't know about vampires!

Okay so following on, ヴァンパイア bodies kinda, erm, freeze, that's why they don't age and women can't have 赤ちゃん etc. But what else can't they do?
Warning randomess approaching, feel free to stop 読書 to keep your sanity.
Here is a 一覧 of things that are puzzling me:

Vampires-Even もっと見る De-Human?

1. Really random, but do they need to cut their hair. If not then what if, for example, Esme got a new hair cut then later decided she wanted it long again, would it grow back?

2. So they drink blood. Surely it's got to go somewhere. Do they need to use the toilet?? If not, then what happens to the blood they drink?

3. Carrying on with the bathroom theme, do they need to shower. I'm guessing yeah, cos maybe they're not that great to have self-cleaning skin-or maybe they are??

4. What happens to them when they die? Okay so no-one knows, but other theories would be nice.

5. How long can they go without blood? Is there a 'time limit' like water and 食 for humans?

6. Can ヴァンパイア only destroy vampires. Like what would happen if あなた threw explosives at Edward(not that anyone would want to destoy him) would he survive, cos buildings made of stone don't survive when that happens. または are they stronger than stone?

Okay so I leave あなた with these puzzlers for now. I'd like to hear your views- any interesting theories? do あなた think I'm being a little too random? または have あなた had the same 質問 on your mind?

P.S I have been told I think to deeply about things...sorry this won't happen again, but my head was hurting :D

Rob's just as confused as I am...

lovedeath26, iheartedward95 and 7 others like this

BrucasChair ^ lol..love the pic XD but the only question i could answer is the bathroom one. I believe somewhere in BD Bella mentions, (afters she's a vamp) that now Edward and her could have extra time to do some "extracurricular" activities b/c neither of them had the need to go to the bathroom anymore.

vampiress015 oh kk, thanks...i've only read BD once, I was a bit too erm distracted to notice lol. Thanks :)

isabell118 LOL. I've always wondered about #3 and 2...so your not the only one ;) I have know idea what happens to the blood they drink since they can't really digest it...and i think they do shower because it would be kinda gross to have all that icky stuff on them...self-cleaning skin is not what i think they have XP

mandapanda well, i think number 1, i dont think their hair would grow back because, technically they're "dead". but yeah, 2 and 3... i kinda wonder.

Seraphiene Well, I also wondered about these things, and finally, I found some answers: Number 1:Their hair never grows back, because they are (as you said) a kind of "frozen in time". So once they cut it, it's gone forever. F.e.Alice will never have long hair again, because it didn't grow back after they shaved it in the mental asylum before she was changed. (Did you know, that she was changed to protect her from James, who was hunting her? I really was surprised, when I read it.) Number 2: Stephenie Meyer explained it like this (not exactly her words, just quoted): Vampires don't have any blood of their own, their veins are basically empty (or dried), so the blood they drink floods their old blood ways, and makes them strong. They use all the blood, no waste at all. Number 3: Vampires do bathe, but only because of the "outside dirt", like mud and blood, no sweat. I don't know about number 4, hm.... Interesting question, though. :) Number 5: I don't think that they could die of starvation. Carlisle tried it, but he didn't last. I think they would sooner or later hunt and kill whatever crosses their way. Somewhere Stephenie said, that their eyes turn completely black in about two weeks, so this could be a kind of "time limit", but they definitely don't die if they go past it. And, finally, number 6 (from personal correspondance with SM): A big enough bomb would probably be hot enough to burn a vampire, but the vampire would have to agree to hold still and let it hit him. So yes, he would be torn into pieces. I think that's all. :) If you would like to have more information, try the Twilight Lexicon, it's really great!

vampiress015 Thank you :)

jacob_is_amazin ok..I've wondered bout a lot of that stuff 2 but I'd like to add something of my own that really bothers me...so u know how Edward is so attracted to Bella'a blood at the beginning and Jasper has a hard time resisting ne blood...n Jasper almost killed Bella cause of a small paper cut...so...what happens when Bella has like her period or ne girl 4 that matter...it bothers me 2 no end and I can't think of a logical explanation...so um..ne 1 no the answer 2 that question???

IcelandGirl812 Jacob_is_amazin, this is what Stephenie said in personal correspondence #2 on the Twilight Lexicon. http://www.twilightlexiconblog.com/?p=35 "Several girls wanted to know if Edward would have a more difficult time being around Bella when she’s having her period. Answer: Yes, a little bit, but he would never say anything about it–much too much of a gentleman. And Bella would be way to embarrassed to ask. (It’s not the same as a cut, though. It’s sort of "dead" blood, if you get my meaning)."

bundygirl Bit late on comenting i know, but i wanted to add something about that fact.. if they don't have blood in their veins then how do they go about the "extracurricular activities"? wouldn't that require some of his blood in some certain areas? and also making a baby... wouldn't that require some bodily fluids?

I was as big as a house.I had to stop going to school because my doctor put me in ベッド rest. I hated staying in one place....it was so boring,I needed something to do.I picked up my phone and went through the contacts.I saw a name that I haven't called in a while so I pressed the green button and the phone began the ring.
"Hello?"She said.

I had no idea what I was going to do. Just three feet away from me I saw Emmett kill a deer and I was absolutely sure that he was a vampire.I knew one thing for sure and that was to get out of there quick. "Casey!" I heard Esme call from the kitchen. It wouldnt be long till she started searching for me, so I had to get a plan quick! Without thinking I ran into the forest headed towards the road. After about an 時 wondering through the woods I finally saw a truck. So I ran up to the truck and taped on the glass. "What can I do for あなた ma'am" the man answered. "please give me a ride to the...

I'm clueless.
all I remember was a ナイフ in my hand and blood running down my wrist.Then it all went black,like I just vanished from earth and reality;there was no pain and no seth to break my heart.
I've escaped all the choices and the useless lies I've been told time and time again.

I open my eyes to the glaring sun peering through the window.I squint at the sun. I turn my head.
I'm staring at just the wrong person i wanted to see.
I was backnto all the real world. The one with hatered and discust.
There was Seth with his hopeful eyes staring back at me.
Seth lets out a sigh of relief.

I spent the rest of Vacation in my room, people knocked on my door and called my phone. The only time I moved was when I needed to go to the bathroom and when I needed to eat. I think it was because tomorrow would mark the two 年 anti-anniversary of my mom's death.
Seth was worried sick. I listened to his voice mails and read his text messages, but I didn't reply to any. My room was starting to get stuffy so I got up and opened my window. The breeze felt nice on my skin so I pulled my chair over to the window and just stared out. I saw Seth walking towards my house with a pained look on his...

Foolproof!

I was at Bella's place, playing キャンディー Land with her and Lily, when Carlisle called to tell me that he had bought the old house. It had only been a week since our trip to Forks.

"What?" I asked in astonishment.

"Your mother and I have been talking about getting a place close to Seattle anyway, so we can visit all of あなた easier." He explained. "When あなた told me about the house being for sale, it felt like a sign."

"That's great, dad." I had no doubt that he and Esme would be spending a lot of time in Forks. Emmett had even mentioned that he and Rosalie had talked about moving back to the area, and...

"Leaving? What do あなた mean you're leaving?" I could hardly get the words out, my insides felt like ice.

"I mean that we're moving away from Forks. Carlisle has gotten a job offer that he couldn't refuse." He avoided my eyes as he spoke, looking at the floor, the walls, out the window. Anywhere but at me.

"What?"

I tried to ラップ my mind around what he was saying, but couldn't get the words to make any sense. He didn't continue as I unsuccessfully tried to grasp the situation.

"When?" I finally asked.

"Today."

That's when I got mad.

"What? What the hell Edward?" And then it hit me. "You've known...

When I was entering my school. In every single conversation my name was repeated. Some of the people 発言しました ‘I don’t mind going out with her’ with a evil smile and the others were usual. Like ‘ who is she’ and ‘I can’t believe she is going to be at this school’ and ‘you don’t even know her’. I kept on walking without talking to someone または not paying anymore attention to what people were saying.
