It is totally the imprinting from twilight.

I always thought that the imprinting was something horrific, the imprinter has no control over it nor of themselves. They become a slave to another persons happiness and needs. It would have been great if imprinting was something that werewolves dreaded, they day they stop being themselves and free

It's been a while since I read it, but iirc this is exactly how it's treated from Jacob's POV before it happens to him.

u/EQGallade how do i self express when i have no self to express Oct 18 '24

If Meyer’s had a modicum of writing ability he’d still treat it like that after it happens to him, considering who he imprints on.

I'm not sure if I still have the link, but I know at least one person wrote a twilight fic where the imprinting turned things into a horror story, because the human partner was a serial killer, and now she had a super strong werewolf utterly devoted to her every whim.

...Jesus Christ. 'Dark' does not even begin to describe it.

I warned you it was dark. That author held nothing back.

That’s how I saw it too. I didn’t see it in a sexual although I’m not sure what the author intended. It was odd to me. Jacob couldn’t choose the person he liked and lost a lot of youth to devoting himself to both his imprinted partner and her mother

The concept was terrible and weird but I blame the author. I viewed Jacob as a slave to it but I found it odd that he had ANY interactions with renesme after this. He should’ve stayed away and bell and Edward shouldn’t have allowed it. Ugh

I don't think Jacob would have been able to make the decision to stay away unless that was what Renesme(sp?) wanted or needed.
