it made me giggle

from io9, "I Demand Better Vampires":

Vampires should be pretty much like mean girls, all the time, only amazing at it. Flawless. They've had time. Like when you put a penny in a bank account and a thousand years later you're rich. Social capital, it is the same. Those high school kids should never know what hit them because they are amateurs. Vampires should not be at the approximate social stage of a particularly awkward 14 year old with anxiety issues. They should be devils in blue dresses. This is the metaphor: the cool kids are all vampires, and they fuck with you because it's fun. Because they're demons and they like it. They keep going to high school over and over not to pick up some awkward 16 year old virgin, but because they can get away with shit in the maelstrom of high school that adults would never put up with. They are Chuck Bass. All of them. All the time.

I can't honestly say I disagree.

That's what I wonder every time I see something Twilight-related* these days: how did Edward end up not growing up? When he got turned into a Vampire, did the maturing process somehow stop? Not only in body but in mind?

Or is he really just a big douchebag?


total disclosure: I've read the first three books, several times

SO TRUE.

Damn, where is *that* show?

[cosmic.livejournal.com]

I do believe that show is called The Vampire Diaries, where at least one of our vampires is giving their best Chuck Bass all the time.

Really! I didn't realize. Hmm, that's awfully tempting...

[cosmic.livejournal.com]

Word.

Yes, yes, a thousand times yes.

They are Chuck Bass. All of them. All the time.
...ok, who's writing me Chuck-versus-the-vampires fic? Because even Chuck wouldn't know what hit him, but he would damn well not be going down without a fight!
