I was just thinking about Twilight-as always, and well I'm a little stuck, and I need your help.

So Vampires, Blood-Suckers, Leeches, whatever you wanna call 'em, they're amazing, right? But then again they have their faults: they have a thirst that water won't solve, they have to keep moving around so they don't attract attention etc etc.
But then I thought about this one, I was answering a pick about Rosalie (good pick btw teNaxx, there's a pagpaparangal coming your way) and I kinda voiced my opinion about her ipinapakita everyone that being a vampire isn't that great. At the time I was thinking about her not being able to have children...and that's when it struck me, there are so many things we don't know about vampires!

Okay so following on, Bampira bodies kinda, erm, freeze, that's why they don't age and women can't have mga sanggol etc. But what else can't they do?
Warning randomess approaching, feel free to stop pagbaba to keep your sanity.
Here is a listahan of things that are puzzling me:

Vampires-Even madami De-Human?

1. Really random, but do they need to cut their hair. If not then what if, for example, Esme got a new hair cut then later decided she wanted it long again, would it grow back?

2. So they drink blood. Surely it's got to go somewhere. Do they need to use the toilet?? If not, then what happens to the blood they drink?

3. Carrying on with the bathroom theme, do they need to shower. I'm guessing yeah, cos maybe they're not that great to have self-cleaning skin-or maybe they are??

4. What happens to them when they die? Okay so no-one knows, but other theories would be nice.

5. How long can they go without blood? Is there a 'time limit' like water and pagkain for humans?

6. Can Bampira only destroy vampires. Like what would happen if you threw explosives at Edward(not that anyone would want to destoy him) would he survive, cos buildings made of stone don't survive when that happens. Or are they stronger than stone?

Okay so I leave you with these puzzlers for now. I'd like to hear your views- any interesting theories? do you think I'm being a little too random? or have you had the same tanong on your mind?

P.S I have been told I think to deeply about things...sorry this won't happen again, but my head was hurting :D

Rob's just as confused as I am...

lovedeath26, iheartedward95 and 7 others like this

BrucasChair ^ lol..love the pic XD but the only question i could answer is the bathroom one. I believe somewhere in BD Bella mentions, (afters she's a vamp) that now Edward and her could have extra time to do some "extracurricular" activities b/c neither of them had the need to go to the bathroom anymore.

vampiress015 oh kk, thanks...i've only read BD once, I was a bit too erm distracted to notice lol. Thanks :)

isabell118 LOL. I've always wondered about #3 and 2...so your not the only one ;) I have know idea what happens to the blood they drink since they can't really digest it...and i think they do shower because it would be kinda gross to have all that icky stuff on them...self-cleaning skin is not what i think they have XP

mandapanda well, i think number 1, i dont think their hair would grow back because, technically they're "dead". but yeah, 2 and 3... i kinda wonder.

Seraphiene Well, I also wondered about these things, and finally, I found some answers: Number 1:Their hair never grows back, because they are (as you said) a kind of "frozen in time". So once they cut it, it's gone forever. F.e.Alice will never have long hair again, because it didn't grow back after they shaved it in the mental asylum before she was changed. (Did you know, that she was changed to protect her from James, who was hunting her? I really was surprised, when I read it.) Number 2: Stephenie Meyer explained it like this (not exactly her words, just quoted): Vampires don't have any blood of their own, their veins are basically empty (or dried), so the blood they drink floods their old blood ways, and makes them strong. They use all the blood, no waste at all. Number 3: Vampires do bathe, but only because of the "outside dirt", like mud and blood, no sweat. I don't know about number 4, hm.... Interesting question, though. :) Number 5: I don't think that they could die of starvation. Carlisle tried it, but he didn't last. I think they would sooner or later hunt and kill whatever crosses their way. Somewhere Stephenie said, that their eyes turn completely black in about two weeks, so this could be a kind of "time limit", but they definitely don't die if they go past it. And, finally, number 6 (from personal correspondance with SM): A big enough bomb would probably be hot enough to burn a vampire, but the vampire would have to agree to hold still and let it hit him. So yes, he would be torn into pieces. I think that's all. :) If you would like to have more information, try the Twilight Lexicon, it's really great!

vampiress015 Thank you :)

jacob_is_amazin ok..I've wondered bout a lot of that stuff 2 but I'd like to add something of my own that really bothers me...so u know how Edward is so attracted to Bella'a blood at the beginning and Jasper has a hard time resisting ne blood...n Jasper almost killed Bella cause of a small paper cut...so...what happens when Bella has like her period or ne girl 4 that matter...it bothers me 2 no end and I can't think of a logical explanation...so um..ne 1 no the answer 2 that question???

IcelandGirl812 Jacob_is_amazin, this is what Stephenie said in personal correspondence #2 on the Twilight Lexicon. http://www.twilightlexiconblog.com/?p=35 "Several girls wanted to know if Edward would have a more difficult time being around Bella when she’s having her period. Answer: Yes, a little bit, but he would never say anything about it–much too much of a gentleman. And Bella would be way to embarrassed to ask. (It’s not the same as a cut, though. It’s sort of "dead" blood, if you get my meaning)."

bundygirl Bit late on comenting i know, but i wanted to add something about that fact.. if they don't have blood in their veins then how do they go about the "extracurricular activities"? wouldn't that require some of his blood in some certain areas? and also making a baby... wouldn't that require some bodily fluids?
