All good things must come to an end, and unfortunately, that time is now here for us in Forks. We have loved each and everyone one of our members who have helped turn this small idea into a reality. However, life has kept both admins bogged down to a point where we can no longer dedicate the time we would need to keep things up and going. We’d like to thank you all for being a part of our lives and wish you nothing but the best in all of your future endeavors; you deserve nothing but!
Hi guys. While I've really enjoyed my time here, I feel myself drifting away and don't think it's fair for me to hold onto roles that someone else more dedicated could fill. Maybe in the future I'll find my enthusiasm for this place again, but for now, I think it's my time to bow out. Much love <333 xoxo Please unfollow Bella & Embry.
That’s completely understandable. Muses fizzle for everyone at some point. We wish you nothing but the best in your future endeavors, Jill!
Okay but real talk if vampires don't make tears because they don't serve a function any more, why do they have semen? (Not a twilight hater, just need to know)
Only Stephanie Meyer can answer that for you. You can find her explanation under the read more.
Vampires and pregnancy: when did that idea occur to you? How does that work?
The first seed (no pun intended) was planted when I did Bella’s computer research in chapter seven of Twilight. Bella reads about several real vampire legends—the Danag, Estrie, Upier, etc. In the novel, I only mentioned a few of the many legends I read through. One that I didn’t mention at this point was the entry on the Incubus. The unique feature about that legend was that the incubus could father children. Hmmm, I said, and I filed that kernel of an idea away for later. When I decided to write the first sequel to Twilight (Forever Dawn), I knew it was going to revolve around a hybrid baby from the outset.
When my editor and I decided to go back and really develop Bella’s last year of high school, I did so with the knowledge that it was all going to end up with the events in Breaking Dawn. Everything I wrote was pointed in that direction.
I was always very careful when I answered the “Can vampires have babies?” question, because I didn’t want to say anything incorrect, but I also didn’t want to make the future super-obvious. I focused my answers on the female half of the equation—female vampires cannot have children because their bodies no longer change in any aspect. There is no changing cycle to begin with, and their bodies couldn’t expand to fit a growing child, either. I purposely evaded answering the question, “Can a male vampire get a human female pregnant?” to preserve a tiny bit of surprise in the last book. There were many statements on this subject purported to have come from me, but I never made those comments because, obviously, I knew where this was going.
Now, on to the “how is this possible?” question. First of all, of course it’s not possible. None of this story is possible. It’s a fantasy story about creatures that don’t actually exist. Within the context of the fantasy, however, this is how it works:
Vampires are physically similar enough to their human origins to pass as humans under some circumstances (like cloudy days). There are many basic differences. They appear to have skin like ours, albeit very fair skin. The skin serves the same general purpose of protecting the body. However, the cells that make up their skin are not pliant like our cells, they are hard and reflective like crystal. A fluid similar to the venom in their mouths works as a lubricant between the cells, which makes movement possible (note: this fluid is very flammable). A fluid similar to the same venom lubricates their eyes so that their eyes can move easily in their sockets. (However, they don’t produce tears because tears exist to protect the eye from damage, and nothing is going to be able to scratch a vampire’s eye.) The lubricant-venom in the eyes and skin is not able to infect a human the way saliva-venom can. Similarly, throughout the vampire’s body are many versions of venom-based fluids that retain a marked resemblance to the fluid that was replaced, and function in much the same way and toward the same purpose. Though there is no venom replacement that works precisely like blood, many of the functions of blood are carried on in some form. Also, the nervous system runs in a slightly different but heightened way. Some involuntary reactions, like breathing, continue (in that specific example because vampires use the scents in the air much more than we do, rather than out of a need for oxygen). Other involuntary reactions, like blinking, don’t exist because there is no purpose for them. The normal reactions of arousal are still present in vampires, made possible by venom-related fluids that cause tissues to react similarly as they do to an influx of blood. Like with vampire skin—which looks similar to human skin and has the same basic function—fluids closely related to seminal fluids still exist in male vampires, which carry genetic information and are capable of bonding with a human ovum. This was not a known fact in the vampire world (outside of Joham’s personal experimenting) before Nessie, because it’s nearly impossible for a vampire to be that near a human and not kill her.
I didn’t get into all of these details at my signings because it’s a long, complicated mouthful. Also, it’s hard to be clearly heard with all the screaming. Mostly, though, I waited to do this in writing because I have an immature, Homer Simpson-like tendency to giggle when I say the words “seminal fluids” in public.
Males are accepted as soon as two admins have the time to look over the applications. Females will be accepted this evening(8pm EST) and then not again until the ratio evens out a bit.
That all depends on the day, to be honest. Some days the dash is always moving and others it’s a bit slow, like most roleplays. Unlike some roleplays, our dash is 90% mini paras so it takes a bit longer for people to reply then it would if it was just dialogue.
can we use fcs for canons that were not featured in the films?
If you’re speaking of the canon characters in the book series, then you most certainly can! We just ask that you be mindful of their description in the books when you’re picking out a faceclaim for that character.
Hey guys, sorry to have to do this but I think its time I retire from the rpg. Things in my life have taken a nosedive and I need to focus on that. Thanks for the opportunity, its been real.
We hate to see you go, Kacey, but real life comes first! We wish you nothing but the best in your future endeavors.
Please unfollow Blake Anderson and Alexander Fitzgerald as well.
There is a sever lack of starters being made. If you have not made one in the past 7 days please consider doing so asap! Starters are what makes the dash active, forms connections, and even lead up to larger plots. If need be we’ll add a rule that says everyone has to make a starter once every 7 days to avoid this.
It’s been a long day but I’m finally here. If you’re looking for a Twilight based roleplay come check us out! Canon characters are available and OC’s are extremely welcome here. Males are being accepted almost instantly for the remainder of the weekend.
Both of the admins are going to be out this evening, but we would love to come back to some new applications! We have plenty of faceclaims open; canon and OC alike. Come check out our most wanted and wanted connections pages, to see if any of those spark your interest, or make a lovely of your own! You will seriously be loved down.
