Caught in the Act: Edward Cullen's Awkward Attempt at Being 'Hip' Returns

In a shocking turn of events that no one expected from the world of the obscure and bizarre, Edward Cullen of the Twilight fame, in his never-ending quest for 'awesomeness', has self-admittedly kidnapped a genuine vampire! As we dived deeper into this tantalizing tale, our jaw only magnified its path towards the floor, bouncing about on every revelation we stumbled upon in this oh-so-fantasmagorical storyline! Buckle up, readers, because this ordeal is off on an unprecedented run of hilarity.

Confused Edward Cullen in Gothic setting

Now, you may ask us, who's the boo-tiful bloodsucker Edward dared to swipe off their feet? Enter Spike, the epitome of supernatural coolness of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer series, infamous for his Billy Idol hairstyle and sharp-tongued wit. Still as enigmatic and appealingly nonchalant as ever, Spike seems less than impressed by Edward's efforts, growing intensely sarcastic at the Twilight heartthrob's every naïve question regarding the "hip and happening" world of vampdom.

"Oh my, glitter boy, trying to level up, are we?" Spike sneered at his wide-eyed kidnapper. "Suppose I should feel honored, shouldn't I?" As we see it, Edward might just have bitten off more than he can chew. Or is it, more than he can suck?

Commendably, Edward does seem unyielding, his determination comical to the point of inspiring a whole gif set on Tumblr! From trying to mimic Spike's iconic smirk in front of a mirror that doesn’t reflect his image, to stammering through '80s pop culture references that he just about grasps, Edward's quest for 'awesomeness' has garnered ample side-splitting laughs within the supernatural community.

Somewhere between Edward's attempts at donning a black leather jacket (so not his color) and Spike rolling his eyes to eternity, social media has exploded with memes, fan arts, and fancams. Our personal favorite is titled 'The Count Meets The Emo', metaphorically encapsulating Edward's plight in its entirety.

At last check, Edward was found attempting to acclimate to the consumption of human blood, and the report is that it was going... less than swimmingly. Spike, playing the unperturbed spectator to Edward's stumbling endeavors, was found swirling a glass of blood-wine while emitting bursts of laughter at Edward's face contorted in dismay.

The drama of this situation seems to be nowhere near its fated curtain call. So, to our absolutely riveted audience, we promise to keep you updated with every smidgeon of this uproarious farce. Will Edward ever become 'cool' enough to eventually replace his pale glittery complexion with a badass aura that Spike exudes?

Only time can tell, and until then, we, along with thousands of netizens, bloodthirstily wait for the next chapter in this rib-tickling tale. For the very first time in vampire history, the tag line from the Twilight saga seems fitting: "And so the lion fell in love with the lamb...” er, got schooled by the more appealing bloodsucker.
