HELL YEAH! Team Jacob all the way!



I'm team Jacob because Jacob is funny. Jacob has a great personality. Jacob is laidback. Jacob is loyal. Jacob is hot. Jacob is warm. Jacob is caring. Jacob is sweet, in his own way. But mostly because Jacob is *human*.



The vampire lifestyle is a horrid fate. Rosalie is totally right on that one-- it's not the way to live. No one should *choose* to live that way. Drinking blood? Living forever? Never sleeping, never eating real food, never being able to stop existing? It's just... not good. It's horrible. I don't want that fate for Bella. I think being a vampire sounds just plain terrible.



Her life with Jacob seems better to me. He can give her sooo much that Edward can't-- children, the chance to get older, and in time, death. He doesn't take anything away from her-- not her parents, not her friends, not her ability to be around people. If she becomes a vampire and goes with Edward, she has to give all that up. No children. No getting older. No dying. No parents. No friends. No being around people. No human experiences. With Edward, she has NO FUTURE. I value humanity; I value human experiences. I value living a normal life. Love is the most important thing in life; but there are other things you should get to experience as a human. And Edward just can't give those things to her. There are gaps he can't fill. Jacob can.



In Eclipse, Jacob tells Bella he is the healthier choice for her. He tells her Edward is like a drug to her, and that he is like the sun. I firmly believe and agree with that-- In the long run, I think Jacob is the best choice.



And then there's the fact that I completely hate Edward. I think he is manipulative, extreme, over-protective, paranoid, old fashioned, romantic, and a total control freak-- the worst kind of guy imaginable, in my opinion. I don't like that Edward won't let Bella do ANYTHING and is sooo protective. Bella hardly ever gets to make her own choices-- Edward makes them for her, or Bella has to sneak and run away to do what she wants. And another thing that annoys me about Edward is that he rubs off as so perfect-- men like him don't exist. His character is SO unrealistic. Boys like him don't, never have, and never will exist. Perfect guys don't exist. His flawlessness bothers me. Part of being human is making mistakes and having flaws... flaws are part of life. Perfection is unachievable and boring. The fact that Jacob *isn't* perfect makes his love all the more appealing to me-- he knows he has a slim chance of winning, but he tries anyway. But at the same time, I agree with what Jacob told Bella... Bella needs to wake up and realize that Edward isn't "as perfect as she thinks he is".



Edward is just not the kind of guy I want. I would go insane with someone like him. Jacob fits my personality a whole lot better. He's just so lovable... I can't help but love him. I don't understand why people hate him. As far as I'm concerned, he's the only even semi realistic character (excepting Bella). He's the only one with character development-- we see him go from a gangly 15 year old to a 17-year-old-in-a-25-year-old-body type of guy. His character is just soooo much more interesting.



I like Bella's character a lot more when she's with Jake. When she's with Edward, she has an inferiority complex. She's either ogling about how gorgeous he is, or saying she's not good enough/pretty enough/too plain for Edward. She's always whining about how she needs to be a vampire to "be good enough". She doesn't get to make her own choices... Edward controls her. Whatever Edward does, she does (Renee tells Bella she's like a "satellite" to him). When she's with Jake she seems happier to be Bella. She's not always complaining about not being "good enough". She seems more relaxed. More content. She just seems *better* with Jacob. She seems happier to be herself.



And I think Jacob is a whole lot more exciting than Edward is. I prefer the werewolves... they are more my sense of my humor. And vampires suck, in my opinion. Jacob can just give her so much more of a complete life.



That's why I'm Team Jacob.

Edward is so much better!! Jacob is pouty and babyish and although sometimes he acts like he loves Bella, Edward is just so much more manly and enticing. He is always there for Bella and everyone else and doesn't go around whining and complaining. If he knows something is best, like leaving Bella (New Moon) then he will go through with it, even if it makes the stars dim and the sky go black, whereas Jacob will let her do whatever she wants and sacrifice her life(motorcycle) just so he can keep her near him and try to keep her from saving Edward from pissing off the Volturi (New Moon).

Hmmm, read the next book. I also felt that after New Moon Jacob was right for Bella. After all, he did leave her really without warning.

However, later on, in the third book you get to see a part of Jacob that never really had come out before, and also a different (and completely apologetic) Edward.

So at the moment (we'll see after Breaking Dawn comes out...) I am Pro-Edward.

You heavily ought to study the books. Bella will consistently love Edward, yet Jacob will consistently have a place in her heart.between Edward and Jacob there is not any decision, Edward is her love.

I love Edward and Jacob both

I do feel that Edward loves her more but i can still tell that Jacob loves her too.

Go EDWARD

Yeah JACOB
2008-06-03 02:15:19 UTC
I know some stupid people here hate these questions, but I LOVE IT!!!!!!! I LOVE JACOB! I adore him, I'm obsessed with him, i even named my dog after him.



GO read Eclipse. I won't spoil anything for you. But I agree,

Jake's love for her is more raw and pure. And he was there for Bella when she almost died, remember the cliff diving?

But Edward? Nah, all he did was leave her.



I'm sure you will still love Jake in Eclipse. You'll laugh A LOT and cry A LOT reading about Jacob.



I hope you enjoy Eclipse AND NEVER CONVERT INTO TEAM EDWARD!!!!



TEAM JACOB FOREVER (and ever! and ever!)!!!!!!
2008-06-02 14:03:24 UTC
WHAT? Jacob does not love Bella more. Edward is willing to die for Bella, and is Jacob, noooo! Edward is my favorite. Im completely team Edward 100%. I hate Jacob and you will too after you read Eclipse!
2008-06-02 17:56:15 UTC
No. I felt like Jacob loved her more too but in Eclipse Edward scarifies a lot for her and he proves that he loves her more.

I think that Edward and Bella belong together... But I have to say that I think Jake is better for her. Jake is amazing and I love him, but I love Edward too.



Anyway, Edward and Bella belong together, but Jake is awesome.



GO READ ECLIPSE!!!

I think Edward, think about it,

hes risking everything that his family has made, and he could easily ruin it all just by being with her, and i think that means alot,

you can tell how much she means to him!
