Anyone want to write my blog post on "Why chicks dig vampires?"
IO9 says it's because of morality. I think they're full of crap. Thinly veiled sex and power metaphor.
Do chicks dig vampires more than dudes do?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Because books.
It's the ultimate bad boy fantasy, Daisy. So bad he's dead. And a blood-sucker. And yet he loves you so much he wants to make you his eternal bride.
Or something.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Makes sense, ita.
I don't know that they do, but this is because no one felt qualified to write about Twilight: New Moon when it releases, next week, I think.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
This law goes way farther than that. I very intentionally had sex with my lawfully wedded husband with the explicit goal of getting pregnant AND IT WORKED. And this law would put me in jail.*
There were rumblings about the law last week too, and I thought of you immediately--what you were going through and how it would criminalize you and everyone in your already terrible position, and it put me in an utterly HULK SMASH place. Also, HULK SIGN A TON OF ONLINE PETITIONS AND WRITE URGENT EMAILS TO HULK'S SENATORS, not that it made much difference, apparently.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

The problem with being a governor who realizes that making miscarriages an investigatible occurrence is idiotic, is that if he vetoes the bill, all his opponents will say "He doesn't care if babies die! THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!!!" And too many loony tunes will believe it. And you may bet safely that there are opponents waiting for Utah's governor to make his move.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Oh Jessica, my heart goes out to you. And to have your personal grief getting tangled up in this kind of fucked up politics....
Ugh, just ugh. People are so fucked up.
I'm sorry.

Except he probably just wants to eat you.
But that's not part of the fantasy, is it? How far does the typical fantasy go--stay human, stay alive? Become a vampire bride? Puppy chow is out, I'm guessing.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ugh, just ugh. People are so fucked up.
I'm sorry.
All of this. Ugh.

This.
I'm thinking of coming at it from a Angel vs. Angelus: Or why Kiefer was hotter than Jason Patrick in Lost Boys.
