Nurture

Nurture (noun): the process of caring for and encouraging the growth or development of someone or something. Sausage’s back hits his knee, and Scott doesn’t move. “Forgive him, he’s still learning,” he drawls, keeping Sausage firmly in one spot, “It’s hard, you know, suddenly having all these instincts, and speed, and-” he kicks Sausage in the back, throwing him forward towards Pyro, “hunger,"

Been seeing people play around with the idea of vampire instincts and I love it. One thing I haven't seen that much of though, with that idea, is a human pov of those instincts.

Like I think it would be fun to see someone write about what the humans might make of the more inhuman ways the vampires might act. Especially because of how that might effect their idea of that person truly being the same person or not. The whole "I'm still me, I just happen to be a vampire now" thing. Cause I could see a human having a hard time accepting that it's still them, if they are acting in ways that might confuse and disturb them.

Also even further the idea of a human that might have been unnerved by seeing vampires act on instincts that then later get turned themself and get the same instincts that they had found disturbing. And they then have to deal with it.

Sometimes I'm like "I can't understand why, but I simply cannot resist the steak section at the grocery store today!" and then I eventually put two and two together and realize that my general sleepiness, moodiness, lack of ability to function, etc. are signs the old iron deficiency is acting up again

Vampire Instincts

Much like how our beast seems to coil itself around our survival instincts, vampires seem to understand certain basics out of “nowhere.” Even if it might take someone or something to show us something to wake it up.

As you look at nature, you notice that there are a lot of things done seemingly automatic by instinct. And no matter how modern our society is, we can’t hide the fact that many things still run on instincts. Simple basic patterns, biological programs. It is how a baby finds its way to a teat to drink milk even if they are mostly blind. It is how we deal with…

Do you think based on what is written not how SMeyer means for it to come across that any of the Cullens could/ would ever end up in some kind of situation where a mate is injured & then that leads other family members to fight?Like Jacob suggesting Rosalie be turned into a pretzel in BD to terminate Renesmee?I ask because it is written that they are very much predators & all that really remains is the human look to an extent.I mean how many predators can really coexist easily?I hope this makes

I think it depends.  I think there's sort of a continuum of human-ness.IMO Carlisle is the most human of the Cullens, and Jasper is the least.  At this point, I don't think Carlisle is ruled by vampire instincts hardly at all.  I mean in the books, even Jacob is impressed by how human he seems.  The kids at school subconsciously shy away from the Cullen kids, but no one at the hospital is afraid of Carlisle--everyone loves him and he has a 'wonderfully soothing bedside manner.'  He sets humans at ease (WITHOUT a power) rather than frightens them. He's one of the only Cullens who doesn't ever growl or hiss or anything in the books.  He's got it all under control.   Now, I think this is something he has WORKED AT for over 300 years.  Newborn Carlisle would have hissed and snarled and flipped out like any other vampire, but I think at this point he has actively worked to overcome it so I don't think he would flip out and react "like a vampire" if anything happened to Esme.  He'd react like a human. Jasper's the opposite extreme.  He would absolutely flip out and go on some rampage if anything happened to Alice, no doubt.  It's like SM said: there's no limit to what he would destroy for Alice. Everyone else falls somewhere in the middle, but I think they all tend more toward 'vampire' than 'human.'  I think even Esme would have an instinctive vampire reaction to something happening to Carlisle (or any of the kids, really).   But they're a) all a lot younger than him and b) obviously not as concerned with being an active part of the human world as Carlisle is. Maybe I'm in the minority, but I don't find the angry grr feral vampire freak outs the least bit sexy. The idea that Jasper would destroy whatever for Alice is not romantic, it's frightening.  But yeah, I think most of them are still young enough vampires that they are still kind of aggressive/predatory and there could be situations where they would fight.  Edward was prepared to fight Jasper to save human Bella in Twi/Midnight Sun.  Supposedly the animal blood makes them less feral and snarly, but that whole thing didn't really bear out in BD when there were plenty of perfectly civil human-blood drinkers.  Why didn't THEY all get into some fights?  They didn't even have Jasper around to emotionally manipulate them into being calm!
