why do y’all so called team jacobs still ship Quil with Claire (a literal baby) when Embry is Right There and single lmao. it makes perfect sense to me to pair them cuz 1) that baby imprinting shit is character assassination and 2) twilight desperately needs a gay couple lmfao. Quil and Embry are also canonically best friends so you can run with the best friends to lovers trope (gay edition) which is actually more fun than the straight version bc now you also have Gay Angst™️ and can explore that in so many ways. Trust me, I would know, bc I’ve written 114,000 words for it 🤣🤣 it’s fun, I promise.
anyway, the whole Quil imprinting on Claire nonsense was only written in Eclipse to prepare readers for Jacob’s character assassination. Like Quil was literally just used as a plot device to fuck with Jake’s character and JxB. so like, if we’re all changing the canon to make JxB endgame in fanfic, literally what purpose does Quil imprinting on Claire bring to the story???? It’s so weird lmao like idgi. I will legit stop reading a fic if I see Quil imprint on Claire, even well written ones cuz it’s fuckin weird and makes no sense and Quil doesn’t deserve that 😭
Even if you don’t wanna ship him with Embry (bad taste but whatever), it still makes zero sense to keep him imprinting on Claire. Make him be with literally anyone else or no one if you don’t actually care who he ends up with, idk. Me personally? Quil is like girlypop to me and he’s literally my blorbo so I very much do care who he’s with and how he’s treated in fic, but like the bar is legit in Hell rn so the bare minimum is avoiding the Claire shit
