Goodbye, guys!

2013-01-13T19:55:20Z

Hey, guys. I have decided to leave the Wiki now that my husband and I have had our first child; I went into labor Friday and I was just released from the hospital. Everything went smoothly; no complications.

I'm sad to be leaving, but maybe in a few months time, I'll be able to occasionally visit. If you have any questions/concerns, hit me up with a message or send me a Tweet!

Hey, all! It's me, Savannah; you may have heard of me when I went by my old username, Love and Lust. I just thought I'd let you all know it was me to avoid confusion. :)

Read this and post your feedback here. Is the Wiki up for joining the Fantasy Fellowship?

Not that you guys care, but...

2012-09-13T03:01:55Z

...I've been thinking about changing my username. Why? I've been hanging around on other Wikis on the chats, and I've had to deal with some man whores who think I'm a slut who likes having love and lust in my life simply because my username is "Love and Lust". It's happened more times than you think, and I am fucking tired of it. I'll update this blog with my final decision once it has been made.

The party don't start 'till I walk in!

2012-09-01T01:13:12Z

I'm back, everyone! Florida was absolutely amazing. The temperatures were hot, yes, but because of Isaac passing through, we got rain and thunderstorms once or twice and damn, it felt good, and this is coming from a person who loathes the rain and any cold, wet thing (except snow, ice cream, etc.; you get my point).

And here is what I learned:

I've never been more glad for Washington weather.
You have limited options in the parks if you're pregnant, but you'll find something eventually.
Lightning and fireworks make for an epic mix.
CityWalk and the parks look awesome at night. I do believe I was born for the nightlife! *hairflip*
I have a small fear of my flights crashing on an island with smoke monsters and Others. Lol, no, but seriously, I get worried about the plane possibly crashing.
Your flights are 10x better when they put on one of your favorite movies. (On one of my flights back, they put on The Lucky One.)
Any vacation with your respective husband/wife can and might as well be another honeymoon.
The Hyatt Place is one of the best hotels I've stayed in.
I've never been more exhausted.
I could never live in Florida and deal with their hot temps all day, everyday.
Pumpkin juice and Butterbeer taste too sweet for me.
Every Flavored Beans are the best/worst things I have ever tasted.
I am tired of the airport and traveling on aircrafts. There's no place like home.
I want to go back and visit the theme parks again in maybe a few years.
Bubba Gump has the world's best shrimp. It's not fair that the restaurant isn't in Seattle or anywhere close to where I live. *smh*
etc.

Here are a few pictures that I took while I was there:

Regarding Fifty Shades and Twilight...

2012-08-27T02:22:06Z

Disclaimer: This blog is not intended to spark fights.

Note: This rant is also on my userpage, but I had to get this off my shoulders.

I'll be honest with you, I love Fifty Shades and the Twilight Saga (I wouldn't say love for the latter, but I don't give a fuck) but I believe the Fifty Shades trilogy beats the shit out of Twilight. Yes, I am aware the trilogy originated as aTwilight fanfiction but the series are almost nothing alike. The only similarities I see are between Edward Cullen and Christian Grey, both of whom are both very angsty, and Bella Swan and Anastasia Steele, who are both awkward and shy.

Fifty Shades, believe it or not, is a love story. Underneath all of Christian and Anastasia's love scenes, there actually is a love story developing. Christian is a very damaged individual who demands control during his affair with Anastasia to protect her given the fact that he didn't have that during his childhood, and she helps him change. Just because they practice BDSM together and he spanks her with a belt upon her request for the sole purpose of showing her what a BDSM relationship with him could be like does not mean their relationship is fucking abusive. As an anon said on Christian's page on the Fifty Shades Wiki:

"A healthy BDSM relationship is all about consent. Christian was constantly reminding Ana that she could stop any scene at any time, and that she could leave at any time. She never did anything that she didn't want to do. In abusive relationships, the person being abused has no control, no power, and little to no power to leave. Abused people can't stop the abuser from hurting them just by saying a safeword. People in the BDSM community are generally very careful to obtain consent, stop when the safeword is said, and play safely so that no actual harm comes to the sub. The relationship described in the book was not abusive in ANY way."

Anastasia and Christian's relationship was not in any way abusive; it was a rather confused one. Compare them to Bella and Edward, and I can guarantee you that you will see no similarities. Bella and Edward's "romance" is based on lust and is all kittens and rainbows and other fuzzy shit, and while Anastasia and Christian were attracted to each other when they first met, their relationship is not based upon lust.

Now, shut the hell up about Fifty Shades being similar to Twilight because, trust me, it isn't.

Another quiz

2012-08-02T16:10:13Z

Hey all! I just thought I'd make another quiz for you guys, just for the hell of it.

Have fun!

Love and Lust 16:10, August 2, 2012 (UTC)

Favorite hobbies? Reading, writing, Wiking, and anything that involves music.
If you could join any coven in the series, which would you join? The Denalis, definitely. Those bitches are fierce!
One thing that irritates you to no end? I could go on and on about what sets me on edge, but right now, I'd have to say having to deal with fights.
Any favorite vampire series outside of Twilight? I have a few of them actually: True Blood, Vampire Academy, and Vampire Diaries.
What could you do all day, every day? I'm not sure at the moment. Next question.
Favorite band/singer at the moment? Carrie Underwood and Enigma.
Do you see yourself becoming famous or living a quiet and good life? Both, actually.
Favorite movie tearjerker? Titanic. No questions asked.

Writer's block.

2012-07-08T16:46:29Z

We've all had it at some point in our lives, when all the ideas for your writing just stop flowing. And, well, I'm stuck with this damned writer's block, as I have been for a few days now, and it's frustrating the hell out of me. Does anyone have any tips as to what I should do to overcome my block? Thank you.

With love,

Just for the hell of it...

...I thought I'd make a quiz for you guys. My answers will be italicized. Enjoy!

With love,

Love and Lust 01:47, June 7, 2012 (UTC)

If you could be stuck on an island with just ONE person in the world, who would it be? Nathan, duh!
What sounds more fun to you: sky-diving or cliff-diving? Definitely skydiving. It seems a lot more exciting than cliff-diving.
Bedward or Jella? JELLA.
If you were friends with only one fictional character from any series, who would it be and why? Rose Hathaway from "Vampire Academy". Our personalities are so similar; we'd get along just fine.
If you could change anything in the Twilight Saga, what would it be and why? I'd change Bella and Edward's personalities to make them at least somewhat likeable. I'd also have the series focus on more stuff than the love triangle.
If you had learned your crush had been stalking you in your sleep, what would you do? I'd flip shits and give him a lecture in true Savannah-style.
What do you want to happen in your near future? I want Interscope Records to sign both me and Nathan (yes, we sent in a demo for those of you who didn't know).
Who is your favorite musical artist? Hmm...Angels and Airwaves, Within Temptation, Taylor Swift, etc.

Why I'm boycotting Twilight...

2012-05-06T22:41:11Z

Disclaimer: This blog isn't meant to offend the users on the Wiki. I apologize in advance if some users are.

I was a huge Twi-hard after I first saw the Twilight movie. I read the books multiple times, saw the movies, multiple times but now Twilight isn't much of my interest anymore. Why? Where should I begin? Stephenie's writing and characterizations are absolutely horrid (save for the wolf pack and Denalis). Bella is too selfish, obsessive and flat and Edward is a controlling, abusive, sparkling POS. The only interesting characters, in complete and absolute honesty, are the wolf pack and the Denali coven. Everyone else just kind of drags the story down. None of this means that I won't be seeing Breaking Dawn, Part 2 when it comes out, though.

I understand if you think I've turned rogue into a hater that will just start vandalizing the Wiki; I'm happy to report that is not the case. I'll still be hanging around of course and helping out on the Wiki, but I'll mostly be on chat. As far as editing is concerned, you can find me on The Hunger Games Wiki, One Tree Hill Wiki, James Cameron's Titanic Wiki, and Vampire Academy Series Wiki.

Best regards,

Love and Lust 22:41, May 6, 2012 (UTC)

PreambleEdit

Hey, there! Sorry for being absent from the Wiki for almost the past week; I just got married, and was on my honeymoon (in Italy, if you're curious). Now, what you're about to read is a novelization of my wedding, including the reception!

Enjoy!

Savannah Pierce Hunter

I DoEdit

The CeremonyEdit

I stood in the dressing room of the wedding chapel, clutching my bouquet of wildflowers tightly with anticipation. “This is it, Savannah,” I told myself. I walked over to the mirror to get a full view of myself; I was clad in my wedding dress, and my dark brown hair was pinned up in a bun, held together by a double-hairband made out of diamonds. My veil reached the floor and trailed behind me. I wore a fair amount of make-up, and had two silver bracelets on each of my wrists.

“Are you ready?” Dad asked, walking up beside me. “You must be nervous.”

“I’m ready,” I answered eagerly, “and I’m not nervous at all, Dad.” I knew that was a lie; I was nervous, but it was the kind of anxiety you would get when you are about to go on your first date. I heard my cue, and I slid my arm in my father’s as the doors opened, beaming. We slowly made our way down the aisle as the congregation stood up. I had chosen I Was Glad as my processional music, much like that of William and Kate’s wedding. I met Nathan’s eyes, and it took all of my self-control not to go sprinting down the aisle. He looked absolutely stunned, like he had seen a goddess. The church had been wonderfully decorated; roses and tulips had been placed on the side of each of the pews, and the altar was an arch of the two flowers. When we finally made it to the altar, my father placed my hand in Nathan’s before going to his seat. I turned to face Nathan as the minister began to speak, giving Natalie (my sister and maid of honor) my bouquet before joining hands with Nathan. The priest spoke of love, God and how sacred marriage was before asking the congregation, and then us, if we had any reason why we shouldn’t be married. I half-expected Nathan’s mother to speak up, but she remained silent. Nobody spoke up.

Nathan began to speak. “Savannah, I have loved you from the moment I first saw you. You have always been there for me, bringing me back when I’m lost, loving me unconditionally. I cannot imagine living in this world without you. You are the woman that I love, the woman who stands by me when I can't stand on my own. This wedding and the ring I’m about to give you are simply to show the world how much you mean to me. I love you, Savannah Hope Pierce. I always have, and I always will.” Tears fell freely from my eyes, but I didn’t care. I quickly composed myself so I could recite my vows.

“When we first met, the thought of us together was crazy and impossible,” I said, my voice shaking. “I tried to hide my feelings and did so successfully yet painfully. We became closer over time and my feelings only strengthened. Then one ordinary day turned extraordinary when you confessed you had feelings for me. I told you how I felt and then you kissed me. I knew it was wrong but it felt so... right. Like we were meant to be together. You made me feel like everything was going to be all right. I couldn’t believe that someone as wonderful as you would love me back. I still can't. It has been three years since that amazing day and I feel exactly the same as I did. I love you just as much if not more. Before you, I always thought true love was just something in fairytales. I thought it would be like that until the day I died. But after we got together I was happier than I have ever been; you gave my life meaning. You filled the empty spot in my heart. I can't imagine living without you, and I won't. I love you more than I can ever tell you or show you, and will love you forever and always.”

“Do you, Nathan Hunter, knowing this woman's love for you and returning it, realizing her strengths and learning from them, recognizing her weaknesses and helping her to overcome them, take Savannah Pierce to be your lawfully wedded wife?”

“I do.” He received my ring from Sawyer Tyree, his best friend and best man, and placed it on my finger. “With this ring, I thee wed.”

“Do you, Savannah Pierce, knowing this man's love for you and returning it, realizing his strengths and learning from them, recognizing his weaknesses and helping him to overcome them, Nathan Hunter to be your lawfully wedded husband?” the priest asked me.

“I do,” I vowed, and Natalie gave me Nathan’s ring. I took the ring and slid it onto his finger. “With this ring, I thee wed.”

“Nathan Hunter and Savannah Pierce have now pledged themselves to one another before family and friends. They have traded their vows and given each other their rings. Now by the power vested in me by the state of Washington and by God, I now pronounce you husband and wife. Nathan, you may kiss your bride.”

Nathan smiled at me before pressing his lips to mine in a passionate kiss. I threw my arms around him, engulfing him in my love for him as the wedding march began. He slid his arms around my waist, pressing me intimately close to him. The congregation burst into applause, and moments later, my husband and I pulled apart. We faced the audience, and I burst into laughter, leaning my head on my husband’s shoulder. Arm-in-arm, we walked down the aisle together towards the reception.

The ReceptionEdit

The reception took place in the ballroom, which was similarly decorated to the chapel. “And now for the first time as husband and wife: Nathan and Savannah Hunter!” Catherine, my sister and the DJ, announced over the microphone. Nathan and I made our way to the center as our family and friends applauded once more. I linked my arms around him and he placed his hands upon my waist as the song for our first dance, Taylor Swift’s Enchanted began to play. “Oh, Nate,” I said quietly. “Have I told you how much I love you?”

“All the time, Savannah,” my husband chuckled, and kissed me. We circled around the room, lost in the moment…and each other. When it was time, I was soon dancing with my father.

“I’m going to miss you,” my father told me. “Please, keep in touch with your mother and me.”

“I will, I promise,” I vowed, and kissed him on the cheek. The next few hours flew by quickly as Nathan and I danced with various guests. When it was time for the dinner, we all sat down in our seats, Nathan and I by one another.

“Your dad is such an amazing chef,” I said, taking a bite out of the lobster thermidor. “I’ve never had something this good.”

“Just wait until you taste the wedding cake,” Mrs. Hunter interjected. I laughed and Nathan gave me a kiss just as Natalie stood up and walked over to the microphone, dinging her glass of wine with her spoon to get our attention for her speech.

“Karen Sunde once wrote, ‘To love is to receive a glimpse of Heaven,’” she began, “and that very thing happened when Savannah first fell in love with Nathan. When we were young, she told me that love is the greatest form of compassion we, as humans, can offer…and she was right. And tonight, Savannah married Nathan. She is the coolest girl I know, and the best little sister. I hope you will be as happy in your marriage as I am in mine. To Nathan and Savannah Hunter.”

Sawyer’s speech was next. “I’d always known how great together Nathan and Savannah would be, but I just didn’t think that either of them would admit their feelings for one another. For the longest time, they were in denial .But now, I’m glad they finally admitted their feelings and stopped being in denial. Thus, I would like to propose a toast to the bride and groom! Congratulations, you guys.” My husband kissed me on the cheek before going up to the microphone; I didn’t know he’d even written a speech.

“True love. Soulmates. They both mean the same thing: two lovers are destined to be together,” Nathan began. “From the moment Savannah and I met, I knew that she was the one whom I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. According to William Shakespeare, ‘Love is not love which alters when alteration finds.’ I have known my wife for three wonderful years, and while I had often fantasized about marrying her one day, I never thought those fantasies would one day come true. So, I would like to thank everyone for coming for this special occasion. I’d also like to thank Darren for letting me marry Savannah and bringing a wonderful person into this world. And most importantly, I would like to thank my beautiful bride for putting everything together and for marrying me. I love you, Savannah, and always will.”

Everyone raised their glass, and I smiled through my tears. Was it even possible to be so happy…so in love? My husband stepped down from the podium and returned to his seat. Unable to resist, I stood up, took his face in my hands and passionately kissed him. Our friends and family burst into applause just as they had when Nathan and I had been declared husband and wife. “That was a beautiful speech,” I told my husband.

“Not as beautiful as you,” he countered. We kissed once more before heading back to the dinner table to our loved ones. I felt as if we were all one big family, and in a sense, we were. Tonight, I had finally become Nathan’s wife and I couldn’t be any happier. Dinner passed quickly, and when it was time for dessert, my husband and I posed for photographs as we cut our wedding cake; vanilla mixed with chocolate.

“Damn, this cake is delish!” I mused as I stuffed a bite into his mouth. He laughed and said, “You have a little something right there. Let me get it for you.” He pressed his mouth to mine, and when we separated, he told me, “That cake is delicious, Savannah.” The guests began to get their own slices of the cake, and we kissed again.

Soon enough, it was time for the bouquet toss—the last thing before the last dance. I tossed my bouquet through the air, and my best friend Catherine caught it just in time. She let out a squeal of joy and ran over to me and hugged me.

“Congratulations, Savannah,” Cathy said. “You have no idea how happy I am for you.” We disengaged and she patted me on the back. “Be sure to tell me about your honeymoon,” she told me.

“I will,” I promised her. My Heart Will Go On began to play, and Nathan led me to the center of the ballroom for the last dance.

“I can’t believe this day is almost over,” I murmured, gazing into my husband’s eyes.

“We have the rest of our lives to be together,” he said. “Forever and always.” My heart melted at his quoting of my wedding vows. I lay my head on his shoulder and closed my eyes, living in the moment. Time didn’t seem to exist as we simply swayed to the music. All that existed was us and our loved ones. We were so lost in the moment that we were surprised to hear the music stop. My sister then changed the music to the sweeping, orchestral version of Angels and Airwaves’ The Adventure. “May I present to you the newlyweds!” she exclaimed.

Nathan and I exited the church, showered in rice and climbed into the wedding limo. We could still hear the music from inside the church. Looks like Natalie wants to really make our departure epic, I thought to myself and rested my head on Nathan’s shoulder as the driver revved up the car.

“How about that honeymoon?” he whispered in my ear. I granted him a kiss as an agreement and I knew that the next few months would be the best of my life.

Last month on my birthday, my boyfriend Nathan proposed to me. In case you were wondering, I accepted the proposal--no questions asked. :) The date's been set for April 16, during spring break. And, since I know that you guys will be dying to know the details about the wedding, I'll post my wedding in a "novelized" form for you!

Am I the only one out there who is totally frustrated with the whole deal on Jacob's imprinting on Renesmee? Almost 24/7, I hear people saying that Jacob is a pedophile and it really gets on my nerves because it's only involuntary, since he'll be an awesome big-bro figure to her until she reaches full maturity. Then, their relationship will become romantic. I'm fine with his imprinting, what I'm not fine with is all the fuss about Jake being a pedophile when he's not. People, just read the frickin' Imprinting page.

So, I was just browsing YouTube and I found Sting's A Thousand Years. Now, compare it to Christina Perri's A Thousand Years.. which do you prefer?

I love both of them, but I have to say that Sting's has a very unique feel to it.

Bella vs. Edward

2012-02-03T23:48:48Z

Okay, so I was just rereading Breaking Dawn and we all know that Bella was trained in martial arts and whatnot. Now, Edward already has a ton of experience in the combat category but let's just say that, for some totally bizarre reason, these two lovebirds got into a physical fight. Who do you think would win?

I believe Bella would win because she has the advantage of being a newborn vampire, and because (hypothetically speaking, if they were forced to fight) Edward would refuse to hurt her.

Regarding Bella and Edward's relationship...

2012-01-29T03:10:49Z

I've been doing some in-depth analysis on Edward and Bella's relationship, and I must say, it's mostly based on one thing: lust, lust, lust, and more lust. If you think I'm hating on their relationship, well, I'm not. I just thought I'd get

Bella and Edward: a lust story.

Added by CullenGirl1998

this out. Anyway, even Romeo and Juliet's relationship was anything but lust, and they barely even knew one another. And, compare Bella/Jacob to Bella/Edward. Bella and Jacob actually got to know one another, and I can't say for Bella and Edward.

Romeo and Juliet: "Love story" can actually apply to them.

Okay, so you know how Lionsgate acquired Summit? They've been talking about continuing the Twilight Saga with...say, more movies or even a TV show. Do you think they should continue the story, or do you think it should end this November? I say it should end this November because they might as well end up ruining the saga.
