Ejacula

dracula (the real deal): you know he’s been rollin’ in his coffin since ejacula came & took over the whole vampire scene--- as if it wasn’t hard enough to try and live off the blood of moronic humans for hundreds of years, suddenly these pre-pubescent high schoolers from “twilight,” with their perpetually stoned eyes (however, never actually doing any drugs) come along & taint his image. yes there was a time when vlad prevailed when the people of his kingdom feared & respected the man who fought to keep wallachia free of the ottomans--- so much different was the man whose legacy, illustrated for the west by stoker, sat as a wonderfully unique novel delighting readers for over a century, taking its place next to shelley’s frankenstein on the shelf & followed by the likes of rice. but as the saying goes, “all good things must come to an end,” and so strolled in ms. stephenie meyer whose excrementitious mix of once interesting vampiric lore & the quintessential teenage stumbling over sexuality (of which she claims: "I don't think teens need to read about gratuitous sex.") has become a new brew of non-threatening pulp which besides giving two actors who couldn’t act their way out of a box high-paying careers (as undeserved as the author’s), has infected a whole generation of young women who now have a brand new template for abusive relationships. meyer’s “abstinence ****” (as it is now dubbed by many) brings with it the inevitable message that women will lose their whole sense of self in a relationship & end up succumbing to the supposed societal norm of having a child, that is, a ludicrous vampire baby who will no doubt grow up learning how to be abused just as the mother did--- this distressed damsel that stewart portrays is so transparently based on meyer herself that one would have to be intoxicated to a point of blindness, not to see it--- the real choice of a young woman to have an abortion & not have a child with an abusive vampire might make for a less “romantic” statement than the twilight-drivel--- if only independence was as romantic.
