The faerie gave his cousin a soft, genuine smile, pleased that things were seemingly going well with him. After the shit Seth had been through, Bradley was glad that he'd found someone despite where they resided. "Oh, you were papped 'n' shit?" Bradley chuckled softly, already deciding he was just going to have some loaded nachos and a mojito. The question had Bradley pausing for just a moment before he answered Seth with a smile. "Good, I think? Same as usual. I do think Gareth and I need some alone time away from Krovs for a while, but I'm keeping myself busy with some new people while he inevitably tries to find a third slave. I met a guy called Gwyn who is.. well, he's a lot of fun. I haven't seen him in a while though. Do you know him at all?"

"Oh, well, we're getting to know each other," Seth summarized. Quite intimately, surely Bradley could infer that given the place they both occupied. He rested his elbow on the table, chin in hand while he held the menu in his other and absently browsed it out of the corner of his eye. He already knew what he wanted –– short rib grilled cheese and a beer. "The trip was recent, uh, little over a month ago. We did go see all that and he showed me all the best spots to eat, which, y'know, is my main priority. Very romantic indeed. A little weird having people take random pics and shit of us, but I guess that's to be expected hanging with the kid of councilmen known to the world." Seth grinned back up at his cousin as he set his menu down. "How 'bout you? What's new with you, Bradders? How's your love life?"

Continued from here

It absolutely tracked that Seth's female form was just as hot as his usual appearance, and Alasdair could quite take his eyes off him, especially since Seth was donning the most incredible, sexy outfit. Each loud step towards him had Alasdair nervous, but in the best way possible. He wet his lips slightly as he looked up at his mistress, eyeing the remote in Seth's hand. The nephilim slowly felt the vibrations inside him increase, and while he was able to remain fairly calm for the mild setting, as it increased to something more moderate he couldn't help the moans that slipped from him, his features shifting into a look of absolute pleasure as he tried to bite his lip to keep himself quiet. "Ohh, fuck yes.. be so cruel.." he groaned, his cock already starting to harden in the jeans he was wearing. "As cruel as you want."

Its mentioned in breaking dawn that Leah plans to stay with Jacob in a duo 0pack after whatever happens to Bella. Seth was to return to Sam and finish school. But because Jacob imprints on Renesme and thats the end of the perspective we get from Jacob. What happens to Leah? She and Jacob had a good thing going when they started to understand each other more and bonded over their unrequited sad love stories. I don't think she'd want to go back to sam regardless. So is she now trapped in a pack where her new friend is also a slave to his ancestry. She's in jacobs head all the time. Seeing him be ooey gooey obsessed with the child of his former deep crush. That just sucks and I hate it.

I think the main problem here is all that Jacob/Leah stuff didn't exist in the original draft (Forever Dawn) which took place right after Twilight and was entirely from Bella's POV, so without NM/Eclipse Jacob and the wolves weren't developed at all, and without Jacob's narration we wouldn't have gotten the Leah stuff anyway.

So SM decided to re-write the pregnancy from Jacob's POV because Bella dying on the couch wasn't a particularly interesting narrator. That is, she had a pretty limited POV and didn't know about a lot of the big picture stuff going on. But then she switched back to Bella narration for the rest of the book and that means that Leah's story thread was just completely dropped.

SM has since said that Leah is a possible narrator, along with Renesmee, in future books, because her story isn't finished. And honestly the idea of Leah being so connected to Nessie's story makes me nervous, because I am seriously worried that SM will have her imprint on one of Jacob and Renesmee's inevitable wolfpire twins and I DO NOT WANT THAT for her. I'm sure SM would think it was a happy ending and all Leah's suffering was worth it for her to find her ~perfect match~ in Willward Charlisle Black, but yikes. No. Leah deserves a life and love of her own choosing away from this supernatural nonsense she didn't want to be a part of anyway!

And what he is still doing in NYC? Well he had Seth Meyers plus Lux is in her last year at Julliard and she is doing a play. Maybe her last play before graduating. Her boyfriend is in NYC now too so it could be that the whole family is going to see it. Just speculation but joseantonio mentioned a play on his IG story. And why P looked mad in SM's company? Maybe he invited himself and crashed the family party. It looked like a last minute stay because sm's family apparently had planned a party too but now without him. 😂

He was at Juilliard with his whole family watching Lux’s play last night, anon! Look at this beautiful account from this fan who met him and walked with him and Lux when they were all leaving (it’s a thread, not just one tweet):

And yeah, it does seem like someone invited himself last minute, after all he needed to be seen to get those followers and sell those books, right? 😉😉

[drippiesfm]

the tricky part about being in a slow-burn, whirl-wind, baby-trapping type of love affair with the most handsome looking dude on the planet was hiding the uglier parts of yourself away from him ( you know, just in case, prince charming doesn't exactly jive with crimes and stuff ) a gulp follows. likely inaudible behind the lights and music but it's thick enough to create a lump in kyle's throat when he is recognized by another. "uh ⸺ " caught off guard, he doesn't exactly wish for ren to learn about his being here, and especially not his involvement with the jaguars. "so yeah, i mean, we h-hang out."

truth be told his hands are shaking under the table, but he tries to muster up that nonchalant attitude he clings to in order to save face. "i mean who doesn't want to hang out with ren. he's pretty cool, right? really smart. really nice. has great hair. " he's happy with his answer, then further presses, "you... know ren?" how - that was the real question.

closed starter for @drippiesfm (Kyle)

"Let's talk, kiddo." There's a ridiculously-disruptive wooden scraping as Seth takes hold of a chair and drags it by two legs over to Kyle's table. He doesn't usually invite himself so boldly into the Jaguars' section of his club, but it's been a slow night, and curiosity has him firmly in its nagging claws: he settles down alongside Kyle like he belongs there. "You hang out a lot with Ren, huh? What's that about?"

Breaking Dawn (2008)

So, I've reviewed the other Twilight Saga books already, but I promiss you, this is gonna be the worst one yet. I must admit, as a 13-year-old girl this was my favorite book (don't kill me yet). I was growing up in a Dutch small Christian town that had had a big infuence on my views. In my mind, it was perfectly logical that the story ends with a child against all odd. As a grown-up Biomedical scientist, this does not go anymore. As such, I now view Breaking Dawm as the absolute worst one yet and here, I will tell you exactly why.

Breaking Dawn is a big fat book that consists of three different books. I will discuss the books seperately in fear that it might be too much otherwise.

Part I from Bella's point of view

It's no surprise that I actually do like this book. We get 6 chapters of sheer happiness and joy. Very much Edward/Bella intimacy and they finally have sex (woohoo). So what can I bitch about?

Well, actually not too much. I loved the wedding, the secret goodbyes (yes, I cried). I just believe that after the first 6 chapters Bella should have struggled with the decission to change instead of the pregnancy. Yes, Chapter 7 is the cursed chapter for me. It's the onset of all pending misery. Also, it is the first time that menstruations are mentioned and the weak excuse SM gave to explain the never-having-killed-her-due-to-smelling-period-blood on Edwards part is just that, weak. So, all-in-all, I hated this chapter but what comes after is exceedingly worse.

Part II from Jacob's point of view

I hate Jacob. That much hasn't changed. I hated the cold Jacob that is so prominent here very very much. Personal sun my ass. I have always loathed this POV but it offers us some interesting views on the wolves and the Quileute people. It was good to see the communication between the wolves, but it was also nonsense. The big difference between you can't hide what you think and thinking in directed full sentences became a blurry line that never really made sense to me. What was good about it, is that we saw how pure Seth's mind is and how deeply hurt and actually good Leah is. Seth, a mere teenager, is objectively one of the purest characters I have ever read and that's on that. The faint influence of the coming Gen Z was shimmering through in his defiance of made boundaries in communication: Seth saw the good in the Cullens and defied his tribes prejudice. Good for him. Leah, of course, is one of the most denied characters in the series. Such a fierce young woman that has suffered so much is the only character that does not get redemption. It is absolutely outrageous and I agree with many that it shows SMs prejudice against women of colour. She gets literally nothing. She stands on her own in a group of men that mock her for her guard as she has to suffer through knowing her ex's love for his new love. Then, of course, she cannot have children and she gets no love interests. To through all these (in SMs mind) limitations only at one of the few POC is not great. I do like the fact that Leah and Jacob become closer and that Leah cares most for Seth. It's not enough, though. Leah should have gotten the trip to go to college somewhere far away, paid for by the Cullens out of sheer gratitude. She should have everything and all but through Bella's (read: SMs) mind she is still depicted as sad, lonely and bitter. To show a woman's anger like that is straight up misogynistic. Great start.

Jacob's story skips so many valuable parts of Bella's story, which we have been focussing on until now, and it makes so little sense that Jacob would be there for all the important interactions.

In Jacob's part, some shocking facts become clear. As a biomedical scientist, I have been holding back the outrageousness of this one: the chromosomes.

Vampires are frozen in time; after the change, their bodies don't change anymore. They also don't grow new or longer hairs, new teeth, anything. They are frozen in time. Curiously, they still have a need to feed (blood) and their consumption influences four things: their thirst, the colour of their eyes, their strength and their behaviour. I will tell you why this makes absolutely no sense. In humans, we feed for much the same reasons: we don't get hungry, we stay alive, become stronger and we are nicer when we aren'r hungry. This influence is exerted by the distribution of food molecules throughout the body; to the brain, to the muscles, the organs, you name it. Vampires don't have blood, their distribution of food molecules would be so slow that it would take days if not weeks for the molecules to get to the eyes or the brain. We know vampires aren't mushy inside to increase the distribution so how does it work? It eludes me, I'll tell you. Also, every part of the vampire body is supposed to be solid. Where does the liqud from the blood go? A human averagely holds 5 litres of blood. That is a lot. And since the body doesn't change, where does the liquid go? Aside from the distribution, it makes even less sense that any of these factors should be influenced by anything at all. It is likely that vampires still have cells, their bodies still need to create impulses, movements, talk etc. But their bodies don't changes anymore, so after the change the cells stop producing hair molecules? Why don't the hairs drop anymore? It is so dumb that SM suggested a certain balance between the actiond that continue and actions that don't. We still move the muscles but they can't grow anymore but the cells in the muscle stay active?? This brings me to the chromosomes.

So, Carlisle has tested human, vampire and werewolf (without consent) blood. He found that vampires have 25 chromosome pairs, werewolves 24 and humans 23 chromosome pairs. His findings and his tone suggest that he attributes all the vampire qualities to the 2 extra chromosomes. Now, with everything that I have just explained, I see no possiblity behind that. The venom of a vampire just adds two pairs of chromosomes to your cells? One from your mother and one from your dad? And then, these chromosomes are able to pinpoint exactly with genes to silence and which to activate and that is enough to make your skin hard as granite? No way. The body makes strong pieces, but still the strongest is the teeth. Strong but not as strong as SM thinks.

All-in-all this science is straight up the biggest fucking bullshit I have ever seen. There is just no logic behind the logic SM gave. It doesn't stop here, though. No. I am 100% convinced that SM has not had any sex talk ever in her life. She started with Edward's 100-year-old sperm being vital enough to produce a baby. This sperm is saved at approxomately the temperature of a rock/as cold as ice. This is far far far too high a temperature to preserve sperm cells for long, let alone a 100 years. So, No. No, again. Then, Edward's dick is magically able to get hard without any liquids in the body? No. And THEN, his human sperm cells (human but also vampire?) are able to make a zygote with Bella's egg cell??? A zygote with 24 (!!!) chromosome pairs???? So, it's one of each of Bella's, one of each of Edward's and then just one of the two vampire pairs?????? No. Nah-ah.

I haven't been this vocal about any of my other issues, including racism and other forms of discrimination. Somehow, I have accepted that these concepts come from very well-preserved ideas and I can plainly discuss this matter. However, the pain Stephenie Meyer has put me through as a scientist is still very unknown to me and it annoys me to the core.

I suppose, while I'm on the matter, I should address the elephant in the room. Resumé. Renesue is the embodiment of everything Bella didn't need. The book should have ended before the pregnancy. A story of a woman that found a love in a vampire and she needed nothing else in her life but him. This was the story we were promissed. And then, SM takes her turn to make the last non-conservative woman in the book a mother (her being a mother will come later).

In conclusion, this part stretched every nerve in my body and made me cringe so hard I felt sick.

Part III from Bella's point of view

I'm not gonna lie, I have been pretty dark about the last part. But I LOVE Bella as a vampire. The tranquil chapters where she learns everything about being a vampire made me confident I wanted to be one. I loved Bella more confident and comfortable. I loved the new ease between Bella and Edward. Tranquil, as I said.

Of course, these chapters are overshadowed in part by Rususme. I don't mind the child. It seems nice enough - SM made it pure. But Bella is not a very caring mother. She meets her daugther and then, both Edward and her really don't mind her. They have no urge to be with her and have no trouble letting her go. They go have sex the whole night instead of looking at Relsume's dreams. Then, there is the fact that all tense and loaden discussions are held in the presence of the exceptionally perceiving child. Edward can SEE that she understands tensions. It's so fucking dumb. It really bothered me the last time I read it, maybe because I've matured or maybe because I didn't really care the first time.

When it comes to the final battle approaching, I enjoyed that. I loved Alice's plan. I like the Volturi and their grand dramatic scheming and such. I loved the new characters very much. I think they added a whole new demension to the story. I would have been there for Edward and Bella traveling around the world meeting these people with the oncoming thread of genocide for a child as well though. Of course, the racism is back. The Amazonian and Egyptian vampires are so blatantly racistly described. In that aspect, the movie deserves way more credit for giving us the straight up prettiest actors ever to cover this.

Wrongness continues as Jacob imprints (as the second wolf) in an infant. I know some people see no issue with this. SM tried to make it clear that it was just about her happiness by letting Edward see that Jacob wasn't thinking sexually about his equivalent-of-a-three-year-old child. I mean. Looking at this logically, it's disgusting and there is no changing my mind. Personally, I feel Jacob could have imprinted on any other female character (with the exception of Leah). For all I care it was a 35-year-old woman. But, reversed pedophilia (Jacob was still underage) isn't fun for SM so she sticks with what she knows.

I think I have adressed my most important issues. Please inform me if I've missed any. As usual, I urge you to inform yourself on the Quileut Tribe as it is and donate to them for SM has wronged and exploited them.

The Quileute Tribe

Information:

Donation:

TLDR: I curse Stephenie Meyer for creating that incredibly stupid child as a way to project Jacob's love to something of Bella. Please inform yourself on the Quileute Tribe and donate to them via the links above; SM has wronged them.

As a final note, I am a biomedical scientist at heart. I am always interested in a challenging topic, so fire away.

[bradleyxharper]

"Not by choice, I hasten to add, but yeah, he was pretty cool. It was nice to meet another seelie, and I don't socialise very much anymore," he explained, giving his cousin a soft smile. Bradley had always been pretty social, but since landing at Krovs, he'd ended up shutting himself away in the suite more and more. The mention of food put an immediate grin on Bradley's face, agreeing by following Seth out of the door and towards the restaurant. "It's been a while since we hung out, huh? What's new with you? Anything? Nothing?" He asked as they walked.

"Oh, did you make a new friend, Bradders? Look at you getting out and about," Seth teased with a short laugh. He checked the time and stood up from his chair, rounding the desk to meet Bradley. "I've been lucky so far. You wanna go grab lunch at the restaurant up top? I got an hour," he said, already heading out the door. Clearly there wasn't a room for argument when it came to Seth's stomach.

[bradleyxharper]

Bradley smirked softly, tucking his long hair behind his ears -- that was one thing he was still getting used to. While his hair had never been super short, the length in his female form was getting slightly annoying. "Oh, I don't think I have a problem with saying what's on my mind most of the time, but it can cause shit sometimes," he chuckled, crossing his leg over the other one as he made himself comfortable. "So do you, Seth. It's not been awful honestly -- ended up bound to another faerie who I'd never even met before which was.. interesting. I also ended up glittery, so that was fun. Have you been hit with anything you didn't enjoy?"

"I don't think I've ever had a terrible Spring Mischief, so obviously I'm enjoying myself," Seth replied. "See, I thought that one would be the most fun used in the right situation. Not a lot of dudes around here like to say what's on their mind." He leaned back in his chair and grinned at his cousin across the desk from him. "You look cute, Bradders. How's your Spring Mischief going this year?"

[bradleyxharper]

While Spring Mischief wasn't exactly Bradley's favourite time of the year, he did appreciate the fun that could be had thanks to all of the spells that were flying around. He'd been hit with a few, but the one currently in effect had him in a much more feminine form than what he was used to. He'd initially had to get used to the change in anatomy before realising he could actually have a pretty good time with it.

The faerie made his way to Seth's, only to see that his cousin had been hit with the same spell. "I could definitely do with some payback spells. The saying-all-thoughts-out-loud one was particularly annoying," Bradley chuckled as he wandered into Seth's office, taking a seat. "You having fun this Spring Mischief, cous?"

Seth sat in his office wearing a black dress, leather jacket, and knee high boots that fit his feminine form far better than any of the already oversized outfits in his closet. Unfortunately, Spring Mischief didn't mean the tribrid could be all fun and no play, especially since he was the only magic consultant available in the castle. And plenty of people, both old and new to Krovs, had questions along with the need to buy wands or amulets. Great way to earn some overtime, actually.

His door was open for anyone to walk in, which was inevitably at any point any day during Spring Mischief. He was scrolling aimlessly through his phone on Instagram when someone walked in, Seth lowering his phone as he looked up at his client or guest. "How can I help you today?" he asked, putting on his best "customer service" smile. "Do you need a wand, amulet, advice on how best to get your Spring Mischief revenge on someone? Or none or all of the above?"

@krovscastlestarters

[bradleyxharper]

Perhaps the Harpers were a lot more alike than Bradley initially thought, given that they were both curly-haired hermits. They headed to Clair de Lune while his cousin tried to think about what he had and hadn't told Bradley since they'd last spent time together. It had been a while, that was for certain.

"I.. don't think you did tell me about Cairo, but that's exciting," Bradley said with a little grin as they were seated at a table and left alone for a moment, giving the faerie more time to ask some questions. "And you definitely didn't tell me about your trip to Paris. How was it? Romantic?" Bradley chuckled softly, the light sound of his feminine voice so foreign to his ears. "Did you do all the tourist-y shit? Like Versailles and the Eiffel Tower?" He asked, leaning forward a little in his seat, actually excited to hear the details given that he hadn't been away from the castle in a long while.

"Not by choice, I hasten to add, but yeah, he was pretty cool. It was nice to meet another seelie, and I don't socialise very much anymore," he explained, giving his cousin a soft smile. Bradley had always been pretty social, but since landing at Krovs, he'd ended up shutting himself away in the suite more and more. The mention of food put an immediate grin on Bradley's face, agreeing by following Seth out of the door and towards the restaurant. "It's been a while since we hung out, huh? What's new with you? Anything? Nothing?" He asked as they walked.

[alasdairxbishop]

As much as Alasdair wanted to take charge, being dominated by a very hot lady Seth just seemed so completely right. "Oh.. I don't doubt that," he murmured, watching as Seth straddled him, his eyes taking in every bit of the other's body and face that he could before his gaze locked with Seth's. "Fuck," he whispered softly against Seth's lips as the gancanagh started grinding against him, the vibrations inside him slowly increasing causing him to squirm a little more beneath the other's weight. "Maybe I don't mind Spring Mischief after all," Dair purred with a smirk between kisses, his cock harder than he ever thought possible as Seth rubbed against it. "You're going to torture me in the best way possible, aren't you?"

"I'm sure it'll be just like riding a bike," Seth hummed, climbing on top of Alasdair and straddling the nephilim's waist. He expected he'd be taking control here anyway so the slave wouldn't be doing much work. He leaned down, cupping the other's jaw as he pressed their lips together again, Seth grinding his hips slowly against Alasdair's while his thumb slowly raised the vibration levels on the remote.

[alasdairxbishop]

Although it was slightly jarring when they teleported to Seth's suite, Alasdair was happy that they had some privacy and a room to themselves. Before he could even react, his clothes were falling away from him in pretty rose petals, landing on the floor around him. With his whole body now exposed to the cool air, he hoped to warm up pretty quickly considering what Seth was about to do to him. "Once or twice," he answered truthfully. "But not for a long time," Dair added, not at all arguing as he was backed towards the bed, the back of his legs soon hitting it and he fell backwards onto it, looking up at Seth in all of his gorgeous glory, the vibrations making him squirm a little as he propped himself up on his elbows.

"That's what I expected," Seth replied, red lips pulling into a smirk. He grabbed hold of Alasdair by the arm and the two of them teleported into his suite bedroom. No need for the nephilim to get undressed because his clothes had already transformed into falling rose petals on the floor around them. Transmutation magic could be a real blessing sometimes... Seth hoped Dair's master had the money to replace those. He should as councilman. "You even been with women before, Dair?" the tribrid asked, his fingers pressed against the younger's chest as he backed him up towards the bed.
