You know it's bad when you find yourself posting to any sort of fan forum---worse still when it involves vampires and werewolves. But what if it's a Twilight forum in Italian? Then what?
Then we start asking ourselves questions like, Esistono Jacob nella vita reale? and Se Jacob si trovasse la ragazza? and I keep wordreference.com running and ready. Then we discuss all things Jacob Black, from motorcycles to gravity.
NANA_Ceres, Danatis, and Nihal17 just might be the only friends I have in such a pro-vampire world, and for the past half hour I've been free to declare my wolf-love without fear of the Cold Ones. Here we can talk about the boy who brings warmth and character to the series, the boy with one hope and one goal: to fight for love and win. He's the one character who's fully human (okay, half werewolf, too) in the sense that he wants to live. He fights for a life of simplicity and trust and genuine human connection against the eternal arctic of an Edwardian future and still people beat him to the ground.
They say he's immature and insolent. People, Edward's a hundred-plus years old (and if that doesn't freak you out, it should). He's had a century to figure things out. Jacob's young and passionate and willing to try---and what's more, he doesn't regret it. And too bold? Jacob has a right to take risks when he could lose the only girl he's ever loved. Even then, do you realise that he was right all along? That Bella did love him, that she could love him back in that life he's fighting for?
They say he's a brat. Edward's possessive and tantrum-prone, the perfect Drama King. All Jacob's ever done is hold a grudge and speak out when threatened. Haven't seen Jacob throw himself to the Volturi quite yet, have we? They say he's all-wrong and not even close to the boy Edward is. Again: Edward wants her blood. Jacob wants her heart. There's a difference.
I guess I get a little riled up about such a silly topic (and when I don't even like the actual books, too!), but doesn't this disturb you just a little? Stephenie Meyer has given the comparison herself: Edward is Bella's drug, Jacob her sun and air. Which one would you choose?

It's painfully obvious, and the people who choose Edward really are quite frightening.
But here's the question: if you had an Edward and a Jacob, would you be able to chose? That makes sense. But these girls? Yikes.
Wow - I have to say most of that post passed straight over my head. But having passionately debated Harry Potter on fan forums in the past, I can understand your anger :)
uhh. . . i chose LIFE.
