A Less Serious Topic 1 - Fictional Literature


Mythical Fiction-Trublight? Twilight pitted against TrueBlood A.K.A The Sookie Stackhouse Series
Who has wished to be something that is more than human? The topic is of course about vampires and other wacky shit that people seem to be fascinated with lately. The authors of these novels consist of young to old women that have no real idea of the impact it is having on youth and society. Don't take my criticism too seriously, I love the occassional science fiction tale, but most of these novels and 'works' are based upon dramatic romance. It gives the impression that it is okay to love a monster because he love's you back and no matter how vulnerable you are the love you share will conquer. What the fuck?! 
I've known the true historical origins of homonus nocturna (vampires) since I was nine, and the Twilight stories hold no relevance to any of that knowledge. It begins with, beleive it or not, Jesus Christ. It is said that Judas, the asshole that sold out Jesus to the Romans for 50 pieces of silver, was cursed by God to walk the earth eternally till' the end of days and will only survive off of the 'flesh', not blood of humans, making him less than human. Some even beleive that the holy grail was made from these said 50 pieces of silver and can give the drinker eternal life. 
Now why in the hell would you have a crush on the great, great, great, great, grandson of the only traitor of christ? I suppose it's like those crazy chics who write serial killers and have conjigal visits with them...just to be seen. No harm, no foul and I really dig Charlaine Harris' outlook because it holds weight, she is the writer of The Sookie Stackhouse novels that inspired TrueBlood on H.B.O., fuck it I'll list the reasons.

A.The vampires in TrueBlood actually are creatures of the night, so they burn in sunlight. Not shine like diamonds, it's like an unwritten law in the myth of vampires they do not shine like diamonds, fuck if they did I'd be hunting me some damn vapires for their skin.
B.The Vampires in TrueBlood have a severe allergic reaction to silver, solidifying the actual knowledge of Judas and his traiterous actions of the events leading to Christ's death.
C.There is actual humor. Yes, humor is contained in TrueBlood you do get to laugh at some things.
D.Last but not least, Vampires have been outed and must find a way to co-exist with humans even on a political level and the vampire population has it's own heirarchy making it a very intruiging topic amongst the viewers of the show.

I am not disregarding Twilight and Stephenie Meyer, but to each their own, and the super similarities between the two series suggests that Stephenie could not create her own idea so she just borrowed some of Charleine's (Not slander, pure opinion). If you are wondering what the fuck I'm talking about, crack open 'From Dead To Worse' if you've already read Twilight and see what I'm typing about.  
My name is Kannabull and I'm full. Type you later.
