Critical Analysis of Twilight 问题

Er, do the Cullens use the restroom?

Yes, it is a strange question, but allow me to explain.

I was 阅读 the Cirque du Freak books. Those 吸血鬼 do use the toilet occasionally, as evident from Darren looking for the WC, but then again, those 吸血鬼 require the usual human foods, as well as blood.

The Cullens drink only blood, but where does it go? If it goes down their throat to their stomachs, wouldn't they need to use the toilet to get rid of it? 或者 does it stay in their stomachs forever? If that's the case, wouldn't their stomachs eventually explode?

Over time, I have gotten the impression from both Meyer and her 粉丝 that the Meyerpires don't ever use the klo, but then where does the blood go? It's got to go somewhere. Any ideas?

Okay, I know this has nothing to do with the question. but is it my computer 或者 is there a giant New Moon advertisement in the spot's background?

I think this is correct :)

but not everyhting can be used as energy, like in our bodies, so where does the non-energy-giving stuff go? Even if it is really small, after a long time, it builds up.

It actually could be entirely exhaled. The "C" in the CO2 we exhale actually comes from the 食物 we've eaten. As it gets broken down to smaller and smaller parts some of it eventually reaches individual CO2 molecules. It's plausible that the vampire digestive systems are so efficient they can break down their blood meals to gases that can be exhaled. In fact, that could explain why they may have horrible breath that smells of rotting flesh, though this doesn't apply to Twilight 吸血鬼 specifically; Bella certainly never mentions it. Twilight 吸血鬼 can clearly still breathe as they do to smell and I'm pretty sure it is mentioned most of them still breathe out of habit, but they can hold their breaths indefinitely. This explanation would require them to breathe at least sometimes but no where does it say Twilight 吸血鬼 NEVER breathe. I'm usually into scifi so I 爱情 these kinds of 问题 :)

I remember 阅读 SMeyer's answer to this one somewhere in her site: no, they don't. She didn't explain where the blood goes, but neither did Bram Stoker 或者 Anne Rice, for instance *shrugs*

As I recall, though, neither Anne 白饭, 大米 nor Bran Stoker 说 their vamps DIDN'T use the bathroom.

Nope, but 阅读 the 图书 你 see they don't. Why would they? They're dead.

Seriously? Even though they can't have kids? 或者 can they?

They get periods instead of peeing. Even the guys. They can't have kids, but the blood replaces piss.

To be honest, most fictional characters never use the toilet, whether they're human, vampire, werewolf, elf, hobbit, whatever...I think writers get a little too squeamish about it. Even in Harry Potter, the toilets were only used for brewing Polyjuice potion and taunting Myrtle ^_^

Well, in harry potter 你 know that they do use the bathroom, JK has better things in the plot to describe and talk about then "In charms Harry had to go pee, so he raised his hand..." But I do find it weird.

I was being facetious ^_^ My main point was that most authors avoid the subject, not just Meyer.

Meyer's 吸血鬼 are clearly just straight up magic (like with the psychic powers and elemental abilites) so that's the easy answer; but that's boring. I like scifi and thought experiments so let's work through it. I think Meyer herself has explicitly 说 her 吸血鬼 don't poop. For the 问题 of "where does it go?", it actually could be exhaled. The "C" in the CO2 we exhale actually comes from the 食物 we've eaten. As it gets broken down to smaller and smaller parts some of it eventually reaches individual CO2 molecules. It's plausible that the vampire digestive systems are so efficient they can break down their blood meals to gases that can be exhaled. In fact, that could explain why they may have horrible breath that smells of rotting flesh; they need to exhale gaseous sulfur and phosporous compunds. But, this doesn't apply to Twilight 吸血鬼 specifically; Bella certainly never mentions it. Twilight 吸血鬼 can clearly still breathe as they do to smell and I'm pretty sure it is mentioned most of them still breathe out of habit, but they can hold their breaths indefinitely. This explanation would require them to breathe at least sometimes but no where does it say Twilight 吸血鬼 NEVER breathe. This could actually even apply to iron. Iron can bond to soluble organic compounds (afterall, that's how it exists in our blood without getting chunks of iron in our bloodstreams). So, iron and other difficult to vaporize elements 或者 compounds could be sweated out 或者 otherwise excreted as a liquid. Again, Meyer has mentioned her 吸血鬼 don't sweat 或者 pee but there is another way. 吸血鬼 could cough 或者 sneeze. The dissolved iron could be expelled in tiny droplets just like how liquids are expelled as aerosols when we cough (like bacteria being scattered when we're sick). I'm really into scifi so I 爱情 these kinds of 问题 :).
