"Who does she think she is, Rambo?" I would like to put in that, while they clearly think Anita's an idiot and I concur, part of what makes Rambo so terrifying is that he doesn't need to be armed to the teeth. He's brilliant at what he does, not violent until he's pushed into a corner, and he can do what he does just as effectively (if not moreso) bare-handed (or with your weapon). It's a fallacious comparison to put Anita against Rambo, even in jest, because Rambo is awesome!
Stevens says that "They're all Executioners" Actually, now that Stevens mentions it, the job title is "Vampire Executioner". Technically, Larry, Laila, Edward, and even poor, lambasted Bernardo are all "the executioner." So there's a case to be made that the capitalization is all in Anita's head... and JC had the good sense to tell everyone to play along with it. Edward might be the only titled executioner in the series.
it can be explained to him by everyone else just how badass she is and how it got her that nickname! Yeah, this is gonna work. Mhmm. I can feel the Stuff Happens meter and the This Is Not All "Fluff" and Drivel needle twitching...
"she was the Executioner, years before the rest." LOL, no, especially since Manny was explicitly stated as having been an "vampire executioner" not a "vampire hunter". But it sounds like someone else made my original point to LKH.
"Because you've killed more of us than Death." a.) I doubt that, especially given the fact that Edward both works regularly and enjoys his job and Anita spends most of her time on her back. b.) Ignore the illogic! Otherwise, how will Anita be the bestest and most spechulfulest of them all? c.) I think she's actually disappointed that Edward gets to keep his moniker... and the vamp noticed and then lied through his teeth.
Anita, surely you couldn't forget Seraphina, given how she fucked with you and your mommy issues so bad? Yes, yes she has because Seraphina was old and thus an uggo who got old, uggo cooties on JC hot, "young" body. And Anita prefers to forget that JC has loved, banged, or been victimized by anyone else.
Blond says that since they watched it done they're therefore as guilty as the perpetrators under the law This is not necessarily true.
Poor boy is probably expecting to be raped and enslaved and would prefer death. Dude, people talk. And other people listen.
"Forcing someone to be a vampire against their will is rape and murder all rolled into one" Murder, I can see. Rape? I think that says more about Anita and her perspective than anyone else.
maybe is he implying/saying JC has forcibly turned people? I could not even begin to parse that statement so kudos to you for figuring out how date rape/murder tied into living with a vamp.
Anita, however, just says he must be older than he looks to be using words like "cohabitate" Considering the words I knew in middle school - cohabitate among them - Anita needs to buy a word of the day calendar.
she says he's "Twenty years dead, that's why the eighties haircut." This is a blatant Buffy-ism. No, seriously, it's from the half of the first episode that I liked (before Buffy met Angel) when Buffy's supposed to use her Slayer-ly-ness to identify vamps but instead uses the vamps' terrible fashion choices to finger them in a crowd. But that aside, everyone in AB looks like they've stepped out of the 80s or a low budget porno, so he should fit right in... and possible be incredibly fashionable.
