MCR couldn't have inspired Stephanie to make her weird pedophilic Mormon dogshit. Don't blame Gerard Way for this.
What the fuck are you talking about?
Do you blame Scorsese for John Hinckley?
"Inspired by", does mean the inspiration is to blame for the outcome.
He knew what he was doing
There's nothing relating to MCR that's even remotely similar to this. Only potential thing is "kind of dark aesthetic". As such, we should forget Twilight ever existed, and especially never mention it in relation to My Chemical Romance and/or Gerard Way.
But "Vampire Money" is an absolute banger written specifically to make fun of all the other bands lining up to be on Twilight soundtracks while MCR turned down offers multiple times.
THAT'S WHAT THAT MEANSSSSS OHHHHHHHH That's kinda hilarious lmao
If you want more of this energy from MCR check out what they did for the When We Were Young festival in 2022. Merch, old age makeup, and an encore consisting of "Vampires Will Never Hurt You" followed by "Vampire Money."
I don't really disagree with you, and think she's off in her assement, but she has brought them up in relation to the writing:
-Stephenie Meyer
I wouldn't describe anything about the band as uncontrolled. None of the main members have done anything too crazy. Except for the one guy, but he was just a drummer for a few years. No sex trafficking, rape, cancellations, none of that. I think she's tripping, but anyways lol
She asked them to make a song for one of the movies. They denied, because of the pedophile thing. She shouldn't be associated with them in any capacity.
Ugh, and Muse picked up that offer instead and churned out one of their worst songs 🤦

I love Muse, but this was like.... it was like if a mediocre tribute band was asked to make an original song in the style of the original band.
The pedophile thing?
I'm guessing it's that the main character's baby is the "destined" lover of the character who was the second male lead. Alternately, it could be that the main character is a teenager courted by a man hundreds of years her senior, but that one tends to be less frowned upon in media.
Either way, I think Meyer would've come up with her drivel one way or another.
Could also be about Mormonism more generally and the disturbing amount of children Brigham Young and Joseph Smith, the two key founding figures of their religion, were married to. (I mean, 1 is disturbing enough, but the true number is higher, which is even more disturbing.)
My family is Mormon, I was raised Mormon. Everything about Mormonism is disturbing. It has every single vice attributed to American culture, then, and now. Every form of bigotry, hatred, and fake normalcy. Taking advantage of the desparate and disadvantaged. One leader, Wildrow Woodruff, gave himself hundreds of spiritual wives as birthday presents to himself. Some were dead infants. Imagine mourning the death of your young daughter, only to find out that the old man you believe to be the mouthpiece of God himself, has married her, to be fucked by him in the afterlife. There's so many disturbing pieces of Mormon lore that are normally ignored by non ex-Mormons. Mormons are seen as funny and as having weird beliefs, but not as monsters, which the "good" Mormons are.
Wildrow Woodruff sounds like a dollar store version of Woodrow Wilson. I have nothing more to contribute. I wish to scorch Utah napalm and mustard gas.
I have a racist uncle that's Mormon (like all of my family). He got shot in the head on his mission in Oakland. Unfortunately, he survived. He said that Oakland should be gassed, I immediately said the same about Salt Lake. He ignored me lmao. I'm going no contact so hard with most of my family.
Funny enough folks like your uncle are exactly why I say we should brutalize Utah, too many folks from outside of SoCal run their mouths about LA. Only San Diego and the Inland Empire can talk about burning down LA, outsiders aren't allowed to talk shit.
Also going through SLC was one of the worst driving experiences that didn't involve black ice or snow that I've ever had, couldn't even look at porn at the rest stop afterwards because of Utah shitty porn laws.
Utah and Idaho are late stage capitalistic theocratic hellscapes. Shame, because Utah is beautiful.
Same with Idaho, the Snake River and Craters of the Moon are godsdamned awe inspiring and then ya talk to the people. The Native Americans are the only particularly tolerable folks, that and the occasional Californian who is up there cause it's cheap.
Oh, I've been on the Snake River, in Montana though. Didn't realize it was that long. My grandparents own a cabin up there in West Yellowstone. We're old money Mormons. It's... not great. One of my ancestors owned a company that paved Salt Lake. Another was the second wife of Joseph Smith's bodyguard. I'll never forgive those dumbasses (there were many more) for what they did to so many people. I'm sure that I'm related to the racist farmers pretty closely, sorry about that. God, I hate most Mormons. It's like they don't have a single hobby or ounce of personality.
Wow that is some old bastard blood ya got, but it ain't your sins nor your crimes. The actions of our ancestors are not our own unless we claim them, three branches of my ancestry helped expand the institution of slavery in the South I repudiat those actions. Those same three branches Harrowed the North back during the Norman conquests which due to the impacts on my ancestry and our history I fully support.
Funnily enough my neighbor when I was a child who was like a grandfather to me came from a similar Mormon background to you. He was a descendant of Brigham Young, he was a good man who wished Young was his contemporary so he could've killed him.
I've been watching a lot of ex-Mormon Alyssa Grenfell on YouTube lately and learning just how disturbing it is, both from a doctrinal perspective and in terms of the history.
She's pretty good. I got my information by looking through tons of stories and monstrosities on r/exmormon, until my accounts got permabanned like 3 separate times. Kinda miss that place. Maybe I'll make another in a month or two.
That's a bit fucked up.
Just a little biiiiittt
MC (clumsy girl) and sparkling vampire have a baby (please don't ask about vampire ejaculation) and werewolf dude who was crushing on MC imprints upon the baby. Said baby grows up rapidly because of course did you expect werewolf dude to wait for 18 years?
A multiple centuries old man falls in love with an infant. A multiple centuries old man falls in love with a high school student. Also, the entire plot happens in 2 years. It's just really creepy, makes me uncomfortable. Discourages me how popular that shit was.
Hate to be pedantic about a topic like this, but Jacob, the guy who falls in love with a baby (if that's the event you describe), is around 16
I honestly don't care. There's no difference. 16 year old age gap is crazy even for adults. Sometimes, it's best to leave the "erm akshuallys" in your head.
I certainly feel like there is an age where it’s not relevant anymore. With that said, and you can call me crazy, I also don’t feel like any age, let alone an age gap, is appropriate for a baby.
Fair enough. I suppose if they're consenting adults, hopefully not barely legal, it's fine. But if a 16 year old rapes a baby, that's a monster. An 18 year old rapes a 2 year old, equally monstrous. 34 year old and an 18 year old? Ehhhh, not the best, but legal I guess. 50 and 34, that's just a normal 2nd marriage. But those last two only work if neither participant knew each other from before one of them was legal. Cause that's grooming. Slightly unrelated, Batman and Barbara Gordon being together has the same problem. He knew her when she was 13 and he was a grown man. Then he fucks her. Weird, very bad.
What the fuck?
