The only thing I could possibly ship with Bella is a plain glass of milk, because they'd be perfectly matched in how boring they are.

I suddenly feel lactose intolerant.

Do you find it fun to pick shitty books apart? (Not being sarcastic or rude, I totally love doing that.)

Clearly. Although, I find it not only fun but educational and therapeutic.

I was reading your backlog (again, love this blog) and I got to post 1603511230. Now I have a question: what do you mean by 'clear the snorkel'?

That was a euphemism for masturbation. I also wasn’t genuinely suggesting anyone convert cream into butter with the suggestion about churning.

What is the Ultimate Question to the Ultimate Answer of Life, the Universe and Everything?

Who is your favorite European writer?

I don’t have a list categorized by continent.

Apr 9, 201521 notes
Glad to see you back on tumblr! Why are you so awesome? Alternatively, what's your favorite genre for books/movies?

Birth. Alternatively, I tend to read realistic fiction written fairly recently. Stuff I relate to. After reading Twilight, I started delving into the fantasy genre for comparison and curiosity. I’ve expanded my field of interest. I’ve also recoiled in horror.

I once read a disturbing fanfic in which Embry imprinted on a psychopath who enjoyed watching wolf-him tear apart living humans, which she could demand because of her imprintee status. Should Emily have used her power as an imprintee to make Sam kill himself or have himself committed? Lots of mental health professionals' lives could be on the line because of uncontrolable wolf-floofing.

WTF. No, really. What the fuck. I have no answer, just glee about the previously mentioned disinclination to read fanfic.

Apr 9, 201521 notes
Do you also fear that as Twilight led to 50 Shades, 50 Shades may lead to something more terrible?

Shut your mouth.

Apr 9, 2015248 notes
Are you excited about the sequel to "To Kill a Mockingbird" that's due out soon??

Curious. Not excited.

Apr 9, 201525 notes
I think Rosalie/Bella or even Leah/Bella would be good together. Do you?

Considering none of those characters identified as same-sex attracted, no.

Apr 9, 201536 notes
"Aurora Leigh"* It's romance. I wondered if you had anything inherently for or against romance novels. These books may encourage abusive relationships, but don't they also (occasionally) make people think?

Romance, in general, isn’t a problem to me. I think books (occasionally) make people think, sure.

Apr 9, 20159 notes
Who is the real OTP?

You and me, baby. You and me.

Apr 9, 201539 notes
Any love for "Aurora Leih" or "Vivian Grey"?

No. Should I?

Apr 9, 20152 notes
how do you like your potatoes?

Waffle-cut.

Apr 9, 201523 notes
Oh, you're back on tumblr! I used to think Twilight was the toiletpaper of literature. Until 50 Shades of Grey came out. Now I think it's relatively harmless, I could even enjoy it a little, if not for the mush.

You like mushy toilet paper?

Apr 9, 201524 notes
Do you think Twilight would be improved if we replaced the vampires with goats in popped-collar polo shirts?

I’d give change a try.

Apr 9, 201581 notes
Kristen Stewart tho, am I right?

That’s not a question.

Apr 9, 201511 notes
What would you do if you Meyer announced that she was going to finish Midnight Sun and continue writing the series from Edward's perspective?

Tears.

Apr 9, 201542 notes
This blog exists for therapeutic reasons, right? It certainly has worked that way for me. So what's the most awful thing about the Sam/Emily fail that you don't want to talk about?

Spoiler alert: She was comforting him!

Apr 9, 201518 notes
Back when you were a lot more active, like 4 or so years ago, your blog made me realize how much my abusive ex was like Edward. And I got the hell out of that relationship. So in an indirect way, I owe my life to you. Thank you.

That’s… that’s a big deal. I’m honored and so glad and PROUD of you.

Apr 9, 2015193 notes
Sorry, I just think goats are the cutest little chaotic agents of Baphomet...

Don’t apologize. It’s okay to be wrong.

Apr 9, 201518 notes
Since the new trend is to pick up popular fanfics for books/movies, do you have any personal recommendations for a fanfic you'd like to see turned into a just-AU-enough-to-be-legal film? Also I hope you're doing well!

I don’t really read fanfic. I’ve only really liked http://audreyii_fic.livejournal.com/ and partially that’s because I like her as a human. Also, thanks!

Apr 9, 201516 notes
Do you think Jasper/Bella would work as a couple? Or even Emmett/Bella or Peter/Bella? Why or why not?

Ew.

Apr 9, 201514 notes
If a magical curse made it so that there was only one instrument you could ever play for the rest of your life, and your choices were between the flute, the violin, or simply slamming an encyclopedia against a wall to make noise and annoy your neighbours, which would you choose?

Encyclopedia because that was an unexpected choice and quite novel. I like originality.

Apr 9, 201556 notes
How long do you give a book before you decide it's garbage? Related: Upon discovering that it's garbage,do you finish the book anyway?

I decide a book is terrible when my brain, English, or logic starts to hurt. And yes, generally, I finish them anyway. I am a stubborn bitch.

Apr 9, 201540 notes
Twilight certainly has a seriously high number of flaws, and I love how hilariously you point these out. I'm sure you've spent a fair amount of time combing through the books to pick apart sentences. Considering that, is there any part of the Twilight series that you enjoy?

The fact that they end.

Apr 9, 201562 notes
how do you become the ultimate writer? by consuming all other writers?

Are you suggesting being a voracious reader (good thing!) or cannibalism (bad thing!)?

Apr 9, 201559 notes
Hi! Long time fan, so glad to have you back with us! I was going to ask if you've read Fifty Shades, because it's such a trainwreck (it's a book in the same way that The Room is a film), but honestly you should probably spare yourself. That said, would you ever consider sporking/tearing apart any other series?

Yes, I would consider it.

Apr 9, 201525 notes
First I absolutely love your blog, it was the first tumblr blog I explored on this site, before even making an account myself. So, what's your favorite book?

The Enormous Room by EE Cummings. Then practically To Kill a Mockingbird.

Apr 9, 201524 notes
DC or Marvel? And why?

Marvel. Because of the X-Men. It’s the first comic I cared about and followed. When my mom was younger, the only comics for girls were Archie Comics and she stole her brothers’ comics, and Fox had that X-Men cartoon when I was little, so we bonded over that. Then fast-forward ten+ years, and I’m coming out of the theater with my then-boyfriend declaring, “THE JUGGERNAUT WASN’T A MUTANT. HE SHOULDN’T HAVE BEEN AFFECTED. GEM OF CYTTORAK!”

Apr 9, 201554 notes
What superpower would you most like to have? :D

Invisibility.

Apr 9, 201512 notes
If you ever met SMeyer in person and could do or say anything to her without consequence, what would you do or say?

I would say, “Oh, honey,” and then give her a hug, because she is misguided and makes me the kind of sad previously relegated to animal shelters.

Apr 9, 201574 notes
android or apple

Apple. Primarily because I have been gifted with Apple devices. I’ve never made a conscious or reasoned decision about the technological rift. Apple is just easier.

Apr 9, 201512 notes
Have you ever read the posts about Twilight on das-sporking? If so, what do think of them?

Nope. And no thoughts.

Apr 9, 20155 notes
What are your feelings on goats? This is a very important question.

They have the creepiest eyes! That hyphenated gaze freaks me out. My dad took over a herd of goats after my grandfather died (which is just a whole Lifetime movie waiting to happen, but anyway), so I have easy access to goats, but why would you want that?!

Apr 9, 201532 notes
What about butterfly cupcakes?

I didn’t know what those were. A flash at the Google search tells me I think butterfly cupcakes are more effort than I’d put forth making but I’d probably eat them.

Apr 9, 20158 notes
What's the last book you read? Or, alternatively, what's the last book you read that you liked?

I’m currently reading 10% Happier by Dan Harris. I don’t know if I like it yet.

Apr 9, 20158 notes
Do you think that 'Twilight' encourages readers to romanticize abusive behavior?

Yes.

Apr 9, 201579 notes
Why IS a raven like a writing desk? And furthermore, why do we drive on a parkway and park in a driveway?

Because Poe wrote on both! (Thank you, Jasper Fforde!) And, because?

Apr 9, 201550 notes
would you ever do a version of this blog for 50 shades, or is that going too far down the rabbit hole?

The only video I’ve ever made for public consumption answers that very question: http://reasoningwithvampires.tumblr.com/post/23149266211/video-answer-have-you-read-are-you-going-to

Apr 9, 201527 notes
What is your opinion on cupcakes?

I like the abundance of icing. I think the taking-half-the-cake-bottom-part-off-putting-it-on-the-top-and-eating-it-like-a-sandwich thing is brilliant.

Let's Chat

The next post to have to make is about the abomination of Emily and Sam, so I’m avoiding that. I will answer (not necessarily seriously) any messages I find in my inbox for an hour. Starting now.

Apr 9, 201533 notes

I missed you, too.

#Agreeing with Bella Swan makes me uncomfortable #I'm done #That moment when someone else says what you were thinking. #you're preaching to the choir #Lately your low self-esteem is just good common sense. #That font is my penmanship.

#Do you think shampoo commercials scare her? #Cat shampoo is her kryptonite. #In Herbal Essence commercials they are not moaning in agony. #The little girl from Brave is not the boogie man. #Rapunzel would fuck her up. #You'd be amazed at the problems deep conditioner can solve.

#I'm done here. #unintentionally hilarious #angry balls #My balls are also pretty angry.
How do you feel about The Hunger Games?

It was an inherently unsustainable way to maintain a placid society.
