Perspective Swan

It's so nice to NOT have to be obligated to post everyday on this site. Unlike Siriusly Potter which is news and has to be updated everyday.... And we haven't exactly been completely great with that. But we're working on it.

So I felt obligated to write about our main character Bella Swan (aka...the Swanster, Vamp Lover, B to the ella, Mrs. Edward Cullen). She is pretty important, yeah?

I guess she's okay.

I mean I like that she's so realistic and not perfect like some people (coughCullenscough). But in a way it seems like she isn't that realistic. She's smart, beautiful, funny... almost golden. The fact that she is so humble makes her the idealistic character that everyone wants to be like. She lands the guy too! I kind of wish that she wasn't so humble, that she was a bit more confident or maybe had a rebellious streak, you know? Like she enjoyed pulling pranks and being just plain awesome.

I read this fanfic on www.fanfiction.net (great site!) and it was called "Bella Swan: Kidnapper". It was UH-mazing, with a capital UH. Bella had so much life to her in that story and she seemed just more relatable in my mind. But my head works weird so feel free to comment and tell that I'm wrong.

It kind of seems like Bella's only personality traits are her love of reading (to repetitive Stephenie... really now), her love for Edward, her strong sense of friendship, her love of Edward, and did I mention, her love of Edward? All the other traits are just classic things you see in all characters. I want something different!!! I want to see more Bella, not just how much she loves Edward.

Bella is of course not completely horrible. She a strong woman, which is admirable. Really, facing a vampire who wants your blood? BRAVENESS!! But doing it to save Edward? This brings me back to my total bashing of Twilight being turned off by the whole Bella and Edward love thing. At least Ed has some personality?

I WANT MORE BELLA!!!!!!!!!

And that is why I have turned to fanfics to fulfill that sense of Bella having no personality which she really needs.

Movie time! Kristen Stewart is a brilliant actress, and I love her work. Panic Room, In the Land of Women... all genius! Not only great plots, but fantastic music and acting. However I think Kristen kind of brings some of that sullen teenagerness to all her roles, which kind of bugs me. But compared to other actors today she really shines. Even when not comparing them she is amazing!

As Bella I guess she's okay, but the role doesn't suit her in my opinion. Her voice is really sort of deep and gravelly and compelling in a way, but Bella's voice just isn't like that in my head. She also doesn't have the whole smiley, blushing thing going for either, which is a big part of the character. But she makes do with what she has and pulls it off. Not my first choice, but okay then.

So this has been my perspective on Bella, and I hope you have enjoyed it. Vanessa and Jordan are going to be bashing my head against a wall one of these says for all my bashing, but let's hope they don't read this.

BUT, obviously you're reading this and you need to comment. Just a few seconds of your time doesn't hurt. And neverfear! I will reply! That goes for you all you eighth grade fans of Elliott who should be my fans as well cause I'm just so cool.

I know you're reading this. That sounded creepy, yeah? Don't worry I'm not a creeper though! I just discovered that word... creeper. Such a great word. I've been using it a lot. And that probably isn't a good thing....

And isn't that an intense Kristen. I couldn't find anything that pleased me for this article but it'll do.
