140.

First of all to anyone who responded to the secret with "But she looks really pretty." Way to miss the point. Her beauty should be as relevant as her weight.

In response to the secret though:

1. Meyer matters as an author because she wrote the books and injected them with her morals, ethics and beliefs. Which include a form of pedophilia.

2. Meyer's looks matter because the heroine of her book is described looking exactly as she does, down to the pale clear skin and the widow's peak. Canonically now, thanks to Midnight Sun.

3. Meyer's weight matter because for all the physical similarities between Bella and Meyer, Bella is skinny. Meyer herself couldn't bring her Mary Sue to share her weight. And yes, that opens a fucking relevant box literary discussion.

Fuck, it's even relevant in the big scheme of things. Here's the author and she's God and she could make her sparkly vampire fall in love with an overweight Mary Sue. But instead she uses her omnipotence as the author to make her skinny instead.

How sad is that women are even dieting in their dreams?

Maybe someone should ask the secretmaker of secret 144.


And no, calling her a fat cow is never cool.

I coulda sworn she put on the weight relatively recently, well after she wrote the first couple of books?

I'm SMeyer-shaped (I'm guessing, I mean, I don't know what she looks like right this minute) and I have had the exact same thought as #3, but never shared it. And it's not just that she made Bella not fat, she made her very very skinny. Bella's internal thoughts reveal that she's about 110 lbs, but of "normal" height for a girl of her age, which would make her on the very low end of normal for weight-to-height. I thought it was odd, for her to spell out the weight so clearly, and also if Bella thinks of herself as being so very ordinary, why is she super skinny? Edward's strong as hell, he could lift her no matter what. And if she's so self-aware, why wouldn't she realize how skinny she is? Bella states that she's slender but soft, but there's not a lot of room for softness at that weight. Kind of like KStew, at present. Bella's got insecurities about her looks, but it's VERY NOTABLE for a teenaged girl that her insecurities do NOT include her weight or even the shape of her body, more the color of her skin and her clothes. And I'd give KStew the benefit of the doubt (for as much as I care, which, luckily for me is not much) that she's just a natural ectomorph, but compared to her pic in 115 she does look exceptionally thin.
