MCR couldn't have inspired Stephanie to make her weird pedophilic Mormon dogshit. Don't blame Gerard Way for this.
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.
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.
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.
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.
That's a bit fucked up.
Just a little biiiiittt
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
What the fuck?
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?
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.
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.
Scorsese
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.
never mention it in relation to My Chemical Romance
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:
This band is so in touch for me with Jacob's character. This really raw, uncontrolled emotion — where it's not about some person who's grown up and callused over and learned how to control things. It's someone who's feeling it for the first time and just wants to go out and blow things up. The song 'Famous Last Words' is a really romantic version of Jacob saying, 'Okay, I'm putting myself out there, and you're probably going to break me, but that doesn't change the fact that I'm still going to make the offer.
-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 had other inspirational music. Like Muse. Who was... Also inspired by 9/11. Fuck.
Don't you dare come for Muse while I'm hyped for a new single coming soon 😭
How tf is this "coming for Muse"? lol. People are inspired by random things all the time, them making things you don't like because of it is not besmirching what inspired them.
Entirely joking and half hoping to find people who were also hyped for new music, sorry if that didn't come across. Missing the r/muse subreddit but I can't go back to that site. The connection to Twilight/50 Shades doesn't bother me, I don't even mind Neutron Star Collision and that's explicitly for Twilight lol.
That's bollocks, their first album was 2000
Edit: just checked, actually their first album was 1999. Although what they have to do with 50 shades of grey...
Another random 9/11 fact: Seth MacFarlane, the creator of Family Guy was supposed to be on American Airlines flight 11 but accidentally fell asleep in the terminal and then woke up to the terrible news that it had crashed into the World Trade Center.
I thought Twilight was Anne Rice fan fic for Mormons.
So many disasters in only one day
So wait, who am I supposed to boycott? I need a more specific meme to guide my moral compass. What companies are owned by the one that owns the grocery chain Gerard Way shops at?
boycott 9/11
Crazy to think 9/11 and Twilight were only 4 years apart.
sir, a second twilight has hit the shelves
One of the darkest moments of 9/11 is when Mark Whalberg missed his flight
that's what chaos theory is, a big event left a massive splash.
you could probably trace anything that happend after 9/11 to 9/11
I knew there was a reason behind my morning wood.
Are there more of these? Wild thesisses with no regard to causation/correlation to some extend. Like this seems entirely believeable
We are living in the Dark Harambe timeline too
Kill two birds with one stone
You missed on the occasion to say "two towers with one plane"
Stfu...hahahahha
