This icon beat out the most obvious choice because HAAAAAATE.

Per FW, Stephenie Meyer has posted Breaking Dawn FAQs to her website.

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...

WORLDBUILDING FAIL.

GAH. *growls*

She pretty much fails to answer the misogyny question too; she sort of just skirts around it by defining the term. She doesn't address all of Bella's BAD choices or how she writes the other women in the series (human, werewolf or vampire -- that old "anti-human" excuse is not working very well).

But it's just a FANTASY book, so it's okay, right?

Okay, I kind of want to punch her for this:

Well, I couldn't call her Jennifer or Ashley. What do you name the most unique baby in the world?

Yeah, that's right. We Jennifers are boring as fuck, yo.

Also, NO HUMAN NAME WOULD WORK!

Yes, of course.

This explains why the child is named Sarek. Or Yoda. Or F'nrglknf!th'oo.

Also? Yes, I notice Jo really struggled with the problem of her superunique special hero and his common name. The series totally woudl have worked a lot better if his name had been Soporific Vagina. *nods*

No *human* name?? Renesmee is a classic, *textbook* example of a Utah name--the combining of two (usually parental but can be any two people) names to make a third, suckier name.

Yeah. Just shaking my head here. How much more condescending can she get?

What do you name the most unique baby in the world?

Mary Sue, of course.

(PS. I think you've hooked me onto that German soap opera. Judith is pretty awesome.)

HEE! Awesome. I keep meaning to put a link to the playlist in my favorites because every time I use one of the icons where Christian and Olli are kissing in a comm, somebody goes, "Oh, who are those two hotties?" Oh, allow me to show you ... ;)

Oh, yes. *hearts them both* I've watched the Ollie/Christian relationship develop backwards, as I follow it on youtube. :D
