Can we talk about Emmett?
Who writes the ABSOLUTE Emmett?
Picspam of who you think makes a good Emmett is apropo, as well as current pics of the KLutz(OMW, I love that nickname!)
This is my favorite thing I have read so far about Emmett in a ff story (OTHER THAN EMIBELLA'S "If Its the Beaches" which I would totally stab someone to get an UPDATE for!!!!
QUOTE FROM "Under the Apple Tree by http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1989229/danieller123
"Um…we're having chicken noodle casserole for dinner. Do you want to have some? I mean, it might taste like shit, I don't really know what I'm doing. But…you can have some if you want."
He looks at the dish. "You made that shit?"
I nod. He smiles a little. "Maybe Edward knows what the fuck he's doing after all."
"Is that a yes?"
He rubs his face. "Yeah, sure. Why the fuck not. Feed me some of your casserole that might taste like shit, Bella."
I take out three plates and put a serving on each. We have to sit at the real table. There are only two stools in the kitchen where we usually sit. It's a little weird. The food doesn't taste like shit. Thankfully. Edward glances up at me as he takes a sip of his drink. He gives a small wink.
I take a bite of food and look at Emmett. He is eating like a starved man. One hand folded close to his chest. Eyes down and I know he feels like he doesn't belong here. It's how I feel sometimes.
There is something living in the crease of his forehead. In his silence. It's wondering what Joshua is eating. It's picturing Rosalie feeding him. It's feeling like he isn't deserving of food. Of someone caring for him. It's Emmett as a child. It's a meal that was never served to him. A mother who never got to do it because Emmett's father came home and interrupted her with his hands and anger. His case of beer and his bottle.
But this is Emmett. He isn't a little boy. He has a little boy. He would never do that. So he sits and he eats and he doesn't complain, even if what I served him did taste like shit. It's better than becoming a monster. It's better than becoming what he was. It's how a man would act. A real man would act. The man sitting across from me. The man winking at me. The man who reads me poetry and gives encouragement.
Emmett shoves his plate at me and it's empty.
His smile is kind.
I like Emmett's character because there is so little known about him in canon. We get to make up all sorts of things about him. I don't think I have ever DISLIKED an Emmett in FF.
Is there such a thing as a DISLIKEABLE Emmett in FF? Has anyone DARED to villify one of the best parts of the Saga?
Linkssssssss to stories are much appreciated, ESP the villainous Emmetts.
