  • Historians incorrectly discussing doom scrolling: Here we have a random Internet person discussing the popular method of playing the video game Doom on a PC, which the controls are modified for a scrolling click-wheel on a mouse can perform a rapid-fire shot from a weapon. It was rather unclear what they meant by asking the person reading what someone wanted them to do in replace of this.

    There is a sequence in New Moon that is a time jump of multiple seasons. There a literal like four blank pages that indicate the character, Bella, is in a catatonic-like state. She literally can’t form a response to what was occurring around her. Many readers assume this is a cheap way of doing a time jump but even the movie depicts Bella a catatonic state.

    I recall we get a sense of internal monologue but everything coming from Edward’s POV is lacking any depth or emotion. When Bella speaks, it is monotone. If you’ve seen the movies you’d think Kristen Stewart was giving a deflected performance that might suggest some disinterest in the role. Not saying I enjoy the movies or the books (as an adult), but this performance to me is spot on for how Bella is depicted.

    EDIT: Unrelated, the cars in the movies are not a product placement. Mayers wrote Edward driving a Volvo.

    Not just a minor but person who might have a mental disorder/illness. In case you never read Twilight, the vampires have unique abilities, Edward’s being telepathy. When he meets Bella, he is unable to detect any thoughts from her. The entire book Bella is literally described as having no subconscious thoughts.

    One supposed story is that people committing voter fraud, kidnapped him. As the story goes, people would dress others up in costumes and parade them around the city to cast illegal votes. So for Poe, he is said to have been dressed up in woman’s clothes and given liquor to subdue him. Eventually during the night he died.

    As the story goes. The lore is that no one is certain how Poe did but this one of the most popular stories about how he might have died.
