So, can we please talk about the BIGGEST plot hole in Twilight (which, if you’ve read the books and seen the movies, is saying something), just for a moment?
One of the biggest ongoing storylines is Bella’s struggle to decide whether to stay human or become a vampire, though she has more or less made up her mind. The only things giving her doubts are Edward, who wants to preserve her humanity; Charlie, her father, whom she wouldn’t get to see again; and finally, Rosalie, who so desperately wanted a baby before she became a vampire and now can never have one and doesn’t want that option taken from Bella.
Thus, one of the foundational facts upon which the whole plot is established is that female vampires cannot give birth – understandable, considering that they’re dead. I mean, vampires don’t bleed, don’t breathe, and besides drinking blood, they don’t eat. Now, we can’t go too scientific here when getting into vampire mechanics, seeing as they are mythical creatures, but let’s look at something here.
So, if female vampires can’t get pregnant because they’re dead (and thus cannot create life)… HOW THE HELL ARE THESE VAMPIRES HAVING SEX?!
And you might say to me, “King, they can’t get pregnant, but of course they can have sex!”
Sure, maybe the females can… But the males?
Edward has sex with Bella in Breaking Dawn, and impregnates her. How. Did. He. Do. This?
If he’s dead, how are his sperm cells still alive? If he’s icy, freezing, corpse cold, then how are the little swimmers still chilling (literally) in his balls? But let’s say some how they are still alive, that he still has sperm… How the bloody hell is he getting an erection when 1. He doesn’t have blood, and 2. Even if he has blood, which he doesn’t, he’s dead and has no circulation. THEREFORE, Edward Cullen could not get an erection and could not fuck Bella into pregnancy. I mean, we’re not even deep into vampire mechanics, this is deadass just obvious facts.
You can tell me, “oh, they’re mythical creatures, King, you can’t apply the rules of sci-” THEN WHY THE FUCK CAN’T FEMALE VAMPIRES GET PREGNANT?
If this dead guy with no blood or circulation can get a hard-on and bed down Bella and get her PREGNANT, then surely a female vampire is also going to completely ignore the rules of biology and be able to get pregnant as well.
