that pisses me off?
So I was rereading Wedding Crashers by DasMervin on ff.net, after being inspired by a conversation on Menewsha, and I ******** realized something that I don't recall ever really talking about here.
How the s**t can 17 year old, hormones a-blazin', emotastic Edward-cold-as-a-block-of-ice-Cullen be "years older" than his physical body, but a goddamn four year old hellchild is permanently stuck as a four year old hellchild? This ain't adding up, Meyer. IT'S RIGHT ******** IN FRONT OF US.
What's-her-deathface Dakota Fanning plays (Janet? Judy? Jane? Beuller?) is an obvious case of "I'm ******** awesome," so it's clear that she'd be emotionally stunted, but her brother Alec has clearly grown just as much in maturity as old Wardo. There is no reason that the death babies that are forbidden in this story couldn't be taught to control their blood lust, even if it took a while. Otherwise, HOW DO YOU EXPECT US TO BELIEVE THE HELLSPAWN ITSELF COULD? Seriously, she grows at an accelerated rate, learns at an accelerated rate, somehow matures at an accelerated rate, but these kids (whose brains are scientifically proven to be like worldly sponges) stop dead in their tracks... but only under a certain age limit because it's convenient for a lazy writer who can't even find a way out of her own plot holes.
It's like there's a scar on my leg and this thought just lopped the whole fricking limb off and stuck my stump in rock salt. There is no consistency in this story at all.
