Talk:Imprinting/@comment-24927180-20140831003358

I was thinking about something, and I decided to share my thoughts on it.

The subject of a shifter imprinting on someone of the same sex does come up a lot on here, and it got me thinking that from what we know....imprinting on someone of the same sex should actually be possible.

I don't think Meyer intended for it to be possible, but it should be.

Jacob was said to only be pulled to Bella because of Renesmee even before she was born, that the reason Bella and Jacob had always been so close was because of the chance of Renesmee happening.

Well, Jacob couldn't have known that Bella's unborn baby would be a boy or girl, there was an equal chance that Renesmee could have been EJ,  he was just drawn to the baby either way.

So, if Renesmee had been EJ, logically we can assume that Jacob would have still imprinted because that would have still been the pulling force between Jacob and Bella.

Which means that imprinting on someone of the same sex could be a thing.

Again, I'm sure that Meyer didn't intend for it to be seen that way because of her religion, but it doesn't change from what she told us about Bella and Jacob that Jacob would have imprinted on any child Bella and Edward had regradless of that child's gender.
