Okay look. Stephanie Meyer contributed four (4) cool things to the contemporary fantasy genre, which I shall now list here in the hopes of getting it out of my system. In descending order of importance:

1. Writing a story about a girl who wants something. Plot driven by a woman’s (non-vilified) desire. Truly dreadful execution but still a good idea, sort of a literary incarnation of the “he a little confused but he got the spirit” meme.

2. The fact that when Bella becomes a vampire she can still breathe but “there’s no relief tied to the action” which I remember verbatim because it fucking slapped. The idea of human physical sensations being partially defined by our mortality and the sensations still exist after you become undead but your experience of them is fundamentally different because you no longer need any of it? Extremely cool. The closest Meyer came to taking an interesting stance on vampires being dead.

3. Werewolves are immortal but they can literally stop whenever they want. That shit’s hilarious. Curse of immortality who.

4. The fact that vampires don’t sleep or get tired so their communally-raised baby doesn’t have a crib because she is always in someone’s arms. That was extremely cute and there’s a different, better book contained somewhere in that specific concept.

things they can do with Shiva:

Kill a hero: fans riot

Kill a villain: fans riot

Kill a civie: not martial arts

Kill a new innocent character: bad and boring

Kill a new bad guy: she's an anti hero now, fans riot

Lose to someone: fans riot

Fight an op meta: not martial arts

Spare someone for no reason: fans riot

Spare someone for relationship reasons: she's already got two of those

Not fight anyone: boring

Fight Dinah: predictable

Fight Cass: great every time

It is very important to me that when StephCass cuddles Steph is the big spoon and Cass is the little spoon because 1. Cass dreams about being held in Steph's arms too much to not desperately want that 2. It's a massive display of trust and love. Cass, who has spent almost her entire life on her own and defending herself, having someone who she trusts to watch her back and hold her while she sleeps and is vulnerable and Steph, who has spent so long trying to earn others trust and respect and faith in her abilities finally getting to have it, to demonstrate it, to make herself strong in her own vulnerability.

well everything is either on or off. dust it's off until something turns it on, torches are on until something turns them off.

Another argument against outdoor cats is that sometimes it'll be raining at 1am and the wettest cat you've ever seen in your life will jump into your nice dry bed like "we need to snuggle RIGHT NOW"
