![]() We get Jasper being so awesome as a new-born wrangler and I think we get the subtle hint that he and Maria banged as they grew a bond. I don’t even know, except yay, another stalker! So, from the sounds of it, Maria did an Edward and stalked Jasper as a human as she changed him because she was impressed by his emotional powahs. Who gives a shit about his family, we need to hear about hot these vampires are? So, they change him and he is vampire now blah blah blah. ![]() We then jump to Jasper leading some refugees to Houston where he is accosted by three smokin’ ladies as we need to hear how beautiful they are. Instead, we get nothing, which when you know about the American Civil War and put the pieces together, it just adds another horrific aspect to this already detestable character. This could have been easily solved by writing a section on Jasper’s childhood where he feels disgust about his family’s legacy and that he was pressured into signing up but because of his family’s position in Southern aristocracy was promoted quickly. However, avoiding that has made this so much worse as now it just seems like Jasper probably didn’t give a shit about being a part of one of the worst atrocities in human history. The problem we have here is that Meyer has not mentioned anything about his life as a human to probably avoid this unfortunate implication on one of our “beloved” characters. We have Edward ‘Genocide Stalker’ Cullen, Carlisle ‘Lets Violate a Rape Victim’ Cullen and now Jasper ‘Slave Owner’ Hale. I swear, every time I come back to this and I always find something new and horrifying every damn time. I think this needs to be repeated yet again: our hero Jasper Hale probably owned slaves and judging by how he treats those he views as lesser than him then he was probably a complete monster as a human. ![]() What was a well-known, erm let’s say commodity that the Southern landed-gentry owned and were willing to fight a war over? Now, my lovely readers let’s have a little quiz. Those in the Confederate army who did rise to the rank of Major which is pretty high up in the ranks was predominately landed-gentry. ![]() It’s just lazy.Īnyway, he rose through the ranks quickly as he was charismatic and a fucking empath as what wanky tale is complete without one? However, that may be the Meyer explanation but there is something historically interesting to note. This is meant to give us new insight to his character but this is stuff we already know. This is worse than Emmett’s, there is literally no mention of what kind of family he came from, or just anything. However, what is bothering me is that we got a whole long and tragic backstory for Esme, Rosalie and Alice but Jasper, there is just nothing. Which is a complete history fail as the Confederate Army routinely accepted young men into the ranks as they needed the bodies. We just jump straight into him joining the Confederate Army at the age of 17, apparently, he lied about his age. Now we get onto the main meat of the bio and it’s pretty underwhelming. We do hear that he apparently has no family except his vampire family but Meyer feels the need to tell us his relationship with every Cullen. I’m not really seeing that as he was part of the grand plan to split a group of seven vampires with cracking abilities to fight two vampires. He apparently has a great mind for battles, hmmm………. ![]() I wonder if he skipped the lessons that deal with things like ethics and morality. MOVING ON! We hear that he has degrees in history and philosophy. The man who tortures people as he just has to kill something, goddammit. Honestly, this woman has a talent for creating the most horrific people but remember, this guy is a hero in the Saga. JESUS TAP DANCING CHRIST ON CRACKER! This man is absolutely terrifying. ![]()
