In the Twilight universe, “vegetarian” vampires have golden eyes from drinking animal blood, a more ethical source than human blood, which would give them red eyes. It has also been established that a diet of human blood makes vampires physically stronger. So, if the Cullens wanted to become stronger without jeopardizing their morals, could they consume mosquitoes instead? How many mosquitoes would they have to eat to survive? Since mosquitoes drink from both humans and animals, what color would their eyes be? Orange? In this essay, I will
on average an adult has about 4.5-5.5 liters of blood circulating in their body. a female mosquito, when completely full, can hold up to 0.001-0.01 milliliters of blood in their abdomen depending on the species. if we take the average of both (5 liters & 0.0055 milliliters), it would take around 909,090 mosquitos to equal the amount of blood in a single human. although there isnt an exact number of the entirety of the mosquito population, we can use fermi estimation. there is about 57 million square miles of total land area on earth, while say 50 million square miles are habitable for mosquitos. with a rough of estimate of 1 mosquito per 50 square feet (overestimate due to area and time of year). after multiplying the numbers and fixing the units, there is a rough estimated 70 quadrillion mosquitos. theoretically, if a vampire lived in a mosquito dense area, such as brazil, indonesia, malaysia, thailand, etc, and could sustainably hunt around a million mosquitos to fill themselves every time they needed to feed, there would be enough mosquitos to survive on due to their large population and fast reproduction.
This is honestly everything I have ever wanted thank you for your contribution to the cause
Hey guys I think I figured out why vampires can turn into bats

+ bonus: a short history of medical attire (because i worked on it, lol)
Pre-1900 – Sterility wasn’t much of a concern. The doctors would, for most of the time, enter to surgeries with their everyday attire. In some instances, they would wear butcher aprons to keep their clothes protected. Up to the early 20th century the mark of a busy and successful surgeon was the profusion of blood and fluids on his clothes. For patient interactions, physicians wore black since medical encounters were considered as formal matters.
1918 – The greatest change occurred in medical attire came in 1918 after the Spanish flu pandemic. Medical professionals and surgeons employed masks so that they could be protected from the illness of the patient. Heavy rubber gloves were also used to remain protected from the chemicals that were used for cleaning. Skirt lengths shortened to improve mobility. Shirtsleeves became simpler to roll up.
1940s – With the increased awareness on need for sanitary in operating rooms, the medical professionals started wearing white uniforms for their surgeries and daily rounds. The first scrubs came to use, and gowns and drapes were employed to cover the staff on the operating room.
1950s and 1960s – it was soon found that white gowns against a white background were causing eyestrain. With the 1950s, blue or green colour were used for medical scrubs to fight with this problem. Another significant advantage of these were that they would not show bloodstains as clearly as the white scrubs would.
I just feel like the way Bella and Jacob’s relationship turned into this angsty, tension-filled “will-we-or-won’t-we” after he became a werewolf is…not how it should have played out. Because the situation you have here is:
Girl who’s used to having to play the parent role
-and-
16-year-old boy with little to no impulse control suddenly realizing he’s basically indestructible
“This is AWESOME!!”
“Jake, oh my God, get down -”
“watch me backflip off this cliff Bells, I can totally stick the landing!”
“Jake-”
“I’m gonna ride my motorcycle off a mountain, I’m gonna bench press a tractor, I’m gonna FIGHT AN ENTIRE SHARK”
Everyone in the comments talking about how a woman is born with all her eggs and has them her whole life but a sperm cell is only made maybe a couple of days before conception and now all I can think of is that one really weird week, right before Edward and Bella get married, where Jacob is freaking out because he finds Edward smoking hot out of nowhere and that’s why he was being weird at the wedding.
TECHNICALLY EDWARD ISN’T EVEN SUPPOSED TO BE PRODUCING NEW SPERM
You almost died in a car crash and found out that your guardian angel is super…hot. You continue putting your life in danger in order to spend more time with them.
