Crazy to think 9/11 and Twilight were only 4 years apart.

MCR couldn't have inspired Stephanie to make her weird pedophilic Mormon dogshit. Don't blame Gerard Way for this.
What the fuck are you talking about?
Do you blame Scorsese for John Hinckley?
"Inspired by", does mean the inspiration is to blame for the outcome.
Scorsese
He knew what he was doing
There's nothing relating to MCR that's even remotely similar to this. Only potential thing is "kind of dark aesthetic". As such, we should forget Twilight ever existed, and especially never mention it in relation to My Chemical Romance and/or Gerard Way.
She asked them to make a song for one of the movies. They denied, because of the pedophile thing. She shouldn't be associated with them in any capacity.
Ugh, and Muse picked up that offer instead and churned out one of their worst songs 🤦
I love Muse, but this was like.... it was like if a mediocre tribute band was asked to make an original song in the style of the original band.
The pedophile thing?
I'm guessing it's that the main character's baby is the "destined" lover of the character who was the second male lead. Alternately, it could be that the main character is a teenager courted by a man hundreds of years her senior, but that one tends to be less frowned upon in media.
Either way, I think Meyer would've come up with her drivel one way or another.
That's a bit fucked up.
Just a little biiiiittt
Could also be about Mormonism more generally and the disturbing amount of children Brigham Young and Joseph Smith, the two key founding figures of their religion, were married to. (I mean, 1 is disturbing enough, but the true number is higher, which is even more disturbing.)
My family is Mormon, I was raised Mormon. Everything about Mormonism is disturbing. It has every single vice attributed to American culture, then, and now. Every form of bigotry, hatred, and fake normalcy. Taking advantage of the desparate and disadvantaged. One leader, Wildrow Woodruff, gave himself hundreds of spiritual wives as birthday presents to himself. Some were dead infants. Imagine mourning the death of your young daughter, only to find out that the old man you believe to be the mouthpiece of God himself, has married her, to be fucked by him in the afterlife. There's so many disturbing pieces of Mormon lore that are normally ignored by non ex-Mormons. Mormons are seen as funny and as having weird beliefs, but not as monsters, which the "good" Mormons are.
I've been watching a lot of ex-Mormon Alyssa Grenfell on YouTube lately and learning just how disturbing it is, both from a doctrinal perspective and in terms of the history.
She's pretty good. I got my information by looking through tons of stories and monstrosities on r/exmormon, until my accounts got permabanned like 3 separate times. Kinda miss that place. Maybe I'll make another in a month or two.
MC (clumsy girl) and sparkling vampire have a baby (please don't ask about vampire ejaculation) and werewolf dude who was crushing on MC imprints upon the baby. Said baby grows up rapidly because of course did you expect werewolf dude to wait for 18 years?
A multiple centuries old man falls in love with an infant. A multiple centuries old man falls in love with a high school student. Also, the entire plot happens in 2 years. It's just really creepy, makes me uncomfortable. Discourages me how popular that shit was.
Hate to be pedantic about a topic like this, but Jacob, the guy who falls in love with a baby (if that's the event you describe), is around 16
I honestly don't care. There's no difference. 16 year old age gap is crazy even for adults. Sometimes, it's best to leave the "erm akshuallys" in your head.
What the fuck?
So many disasters in only one day
I thought Twilight was Anne Rice fan fic for Mormons.
Stfu...hahahahha
