I think Shadow and Robot must become a t-shirt or a tote bag. Like, right now.

A few more City Face deleted scenes and small canvases! The top ones are about 18x24cm, and the single panel ones are 13x18cm.

I want to marry this quote and run off to the Fijis with it.
VIDEO ANSWER — “Have you read / Are you going to read / What do you think of / Are you familiar with Fifty Shades of Grey?”
Related Quote: “Twilight at least has the benefit of being fascinating in its awfulness, like a car wreck where you can’t tell if the primary cause was one driver’s cataracts, another driver’s onset of peanut allergy, the rockslide, the sudden appearance off a horde of rabid badgers, or the mysterious solar eclipse. Fifty Shades of Grey is just a drunk driver. Both are hailed as automotive revolutions.” — Audreyii
Ooh! My 50SoG-hate goes big time! (Also, published Twi-fic being “the literary equivalent of Rosemary’s Baby” is probably the best thing I’ve ever heard.)
missing my mom today, 4th mother’s day without her. but this was also us. thanks
Happy Mother’s Day!
I often portray my mom as a timid lady, because she is so loving and sweet. But she’s tough too, she tried very hard to give us every opportunity in a small place, without much. My mother is the one who has believed in my abilities the longest, and the fiercest, and for that I owe her everything.
In this particular exchange, she also showed me that people’s talent may not always be what it appears to be to others, and that we all may have a greatness in us that not everyone can see.
Remember to call your mother today. She loves you.

Some of these nit picking things are hilarious but this one IS stupid. I mean obviously the commenter has never been severely pissed off before. When you’re in rage, it takes everything you have not to fight when every part of you wants to. Why not comment on the fact that she’s using a modifier or the sentence itself DRAGS ON into infinity? Or hey, what about the author using passive language with empty words like “were” and “had been” so close together?
Nope, its way more important to comment on how rage effects Edward and why you think it’s wrong. And regarding Bella not breathing, I guess the commenter has never been stressed either. When you’re in an “intense” moment, sometimes you forget to breathe! *legasp*.
If you’re going to crit. Crit on something that makes some freaking sense. Believe me, I’m not trying to defend the author, but I also think this is a clear case of “Let’s make fun of twilight so I can sound cool and get likes and stuff”. *Massive eyeroll* Do your research on anxiety and anger dumbo.
(1) Given the deeply autobiographical nature of the six sentences in my original post, I understand why you thought you knew enough about my emotional history to make sweeping generalizations. As it turns out, I am acquainted with being “severely pissed off.” Unlike you, however, I don’t struggle with how to conduct myself when I’m angry. My rage is locked and loaded. (2) Modifiers do not need to be cauterized. No reader is going to be confused later on and wonder how Edward could perform a cuspid c-section while still gripping a steering wheel. I take no issue with the perpetuity of the modifier. (3) In the sentence, “Edward had been relaxed and joking…” the relaxation and joking are in the past for Bella. Since she was already narrating in past tense, she used the past perfect tense to indicate the action was completed further back in time than the current scene. I have no complaints with that.
(4) I think your indignation is clouding your reading comprehension. I do not think it is important to comment on how rage “effects” [sic] Edward, which is why I didn’t. The original post is commenting on the limitations of first-person narration. I believe Bella could see Edward’s knuckles straining, but I do not believe Bella could determine the goal of strained knuckles with eyesight as her only diagnostic tool. (5) Speaking of Bella’s shortcomings, she is frequently oblivious to her body and her surroundings. Notice how Bella is the only one mentioned in the original post. I do not have a problem with every overwhelmed person; I have a problem with Bella. (6) You should be more careful when you leap to conclusions, because you’re one wild jump from going straight off a cliff. I didn’t make the post to sound cool. I made the post because I have a problem with Meyer’s storytelling. The fact that I sound cool while doing it, that’s just icing. (7) One last thing: I’m familiar with “anxiety” but what is “anger dumbo”?
TL;DR — I can explain it to you, but I can’t understand it for you.
EDIT TO ADD: IF YOU COULD SEE ME SITTING HERE, YOU COULD SEE I’M ANNOYED, BUT YOU WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO TELL I’M HOLDING IN A SCREAM OF FRUSTRATION.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3eyafS4Os1qd0quuo1_r1_1280.png)
