        i   think   it’s   worth   noting   that   i   DO   NOT   follow   smeyer’s   canon   on  imprinting   .         *   that   being   said   ;   i   refuse   to   acknowledge   renesmee   as   jacob’s   imprint   ,   and   i   refuse   to   acknowledge   claire   as   quil’s   imprint   ,   futher   explanation   below   .         *   imprinting   is   defined   as   the   involuntary   mechanism   by   which   quileute   shape-shifters   find   their   soulmates  .       ❛     it’s   not   like   love   at   first   sight   ,   really   …   you   become   whatever   she   needs   you   to   be   ,   whether   that’s   a   protector   ,   or   a   lover   ,   or   a   friend   .     ❜     a   baby   doesn’t   have   the   mind   set   to   consent   .   the   child   should   not   be   put   in   the   position   to   choose   from   seven   billion   people   in   the   world   risking   hurting   his   /   her   wolf   ,   and   spending   the   rest   of   their   life   with   someone   who’s   …   in   essence   ,   groomed   them   since   they   were   born   .   i   believe   imprinting   should   only   happen   when   the   imprintee   is   an   adult   ,   that   imprinting   itself   should   be   wired   that   way   .   i   sincerely   believe   jacob   was   only   made   to   imprint   on   renesemee   as   a   scapegoat   because   smeyer   realized   he   needed   a   ’   happy   ending   ’   as   well   .         *   smeyer’s   vision   on   leah   being   infertile   ,   stemming   from   the   fact   she   can’t   imprint   and   thus   will   never   find   a   mate   is   not   recognized   in   my   canon   .   jacob   himself   says   that   imprinting   is   supposed   to   be   rare   ——   meaning   four   of   the   members   of   the   pack   imprinting   is   abnormal   .   if   ,   au   verse   dependent   ,   she   does   find   her   imprint   /   has   a   mate   …   then   i   will   work   on   the   idea   of   her   fertility   .   as   for   my   main   verse   ,   and   most   versions   of   that   ,   she   will   remain   imprint   -   less   .
