Twilight Tuesday Inspiration Challenge #17
Happy Twilight Tuesday!
This week’s challenge is issued by Beth.
Our theme this week is: Jacob Black!
I like Jake. No secret there. And it is clear where the lines are drawn in the sand, so to speak, in Twilightville! Having said that, I invite everyone to objectively think about the character, Bella’s trusted friend, her strength in her weakest hours, her light through her darkest times and her humor on a seemingly humorless day.  Theirs is a special friendship. My challenge to you is to capture the essence of the special bond in a project of your choosing.
***”Jacob was simply a perpetually happy person, and he carried that happiness with him like an aura, sharing it with whoever was near him. Like an earthbound sun, whenever someone was within his gravitational pull, Jacob warmed them. It was natural, a part of who he was. No wonder I was so eager to see him.” ~Bella, New Moon.***
Comment Portion: Explain your version of the relationship between he and Bella, or he and the other Quileutes… basically, the essence of Jake. What is the dynamic that draws you in or *GASP* deters you from him. ***note: I don’t intend for this to be a TJ vs TE debate! This is NOT about Edward!*** Do you know someone who is as special as he is to Bella? Does the rebuildng of a car remind you of something or someone? Did someone special teach you to drive (a motorcycle?), or save your life??? et al… Take this any way you want. I just want to see a little puppy love and will abuse my executive power on this one to get it!!!
PS ~ Fear not, Twilighters, it is a common misconception that you must be a card carrying member of Team Jacob to enjoy this character! This is not so.  I promise.

I am TE all the way, but I definitely have a soft spot for Jaoob and love him more and more each time I re-read the series. Great challenge!

I fixed that thing that was bugging me about my card and the revised version is now on my blog. (Although I wonder if anyone will even see the difference!

So I realized I didn’t really play along with the comment portion. I actually really like Jacob; he is easy and fun and was the best thing that could have happened to Bella after the Cullen’s abrupt departure. Well, at least until about chapter 10 of Eclipse, that is when Jake and I had a difference of opinion and our relationship was forever altered! AS much as I dislike the whole “imprinting†thing, I think it is a good compromise to for the continuation of Jacob and Bella’s relationship with the uncomfortable-ness of unrequited love and all that jazz.

Here is my completed project. I was a little concerned that I wouldn’t be able to pull a decent project after seeing the topic was Jacob — but I did okay. Jacob isn’t my favorite, but I do appreciate his friendship with Bella. I’ll always be for Team Edward… heck, even Jasper has grown on me. Who doesn’t like a southern gentleman?!
BTW, the other projects that I have seen posted have been terrific. You ladies are very talented!

This was my first TTIC, and a difficult one since I’m Team Edward all the way. I completed it though, and now may even go back and do some of the past challenges.
