Team Smackdown

Hello! Hello!

It's time for the second Team Smackdown! Are you ready?

This week's Smackdown is:

Team Dimitri vs Team Adrian (Vampire Academy)

The pictures posted below are representations of what I think Dimitri and Adrian look like. :)

Dimitri is being defended by Lisa @ The Garden of Books

Team Dimitri - Vampire Academy Series

Dimitri Belikov Stats:  24 year-old hot Siberian who is tall, dark and completely sexy.  He is a quiet man of few words, but the ones he speaks are of great importance   He is 6'7", has dreamy brown eyes, and shoulder length brown hair  Well-respected Dhampir (half vampire) with super human strength who is often referred to as a  god because of his appearance and unparalleled battle skills He is a guardian who works at St Vladimir's Academy where he personally trains Rose, our fierce heroine of the series What’s not to love about Dimitri Belikov?  Not only is he incredibly good looking, but he can kick some serious ass.  Literally, he is one of the best guardians out there and doesn’t seem scared of anything.  He has a very relaxed demeanor and if he isn’t training Rose or fighting Strigoi, he is reading old Westerns.  How freaking adorable!   Not only is he a skillful and passionate fighter, but he also carries those traits to the bedroom too.   Drooling yet?  If his description alone isn’t enough to make you swoon, I’ll let his words do the trick: “Wait until next time,” he warned.  “I’ll do things that’ll make you lose control within seconds.” "'Roza. I did want you. I still do. I wish we could be together... If I let myself love you, I won't throw myself in front of her. I'll throw myself in front of you.'" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Adrian doesn't have an advocate so I'll post a few facts about him:

Team Adrian - Vampire Academy Series 

Name: Adrian Ivashkov

Status: Adrian is a royal Moroi and the Queen's great-nephew. He's a spirit user and, unfortunately, has to deal with the side effects of his powers. He dates Rose on and off for a while.

Age: 21

Height:About 6´1'

Eyes: Green

Hair: Brown

More info: Adrian has a reputation of being a ladies man and quite irresponsible. He can be really sweet and chilvarous, though. He's quick witted and loves to flirt but it's quite clear he really does care about Rose.

 

Quotes:

"Don't worry, little dhampir. You might be surrounded by clouds, but you'll always be like sunshine to me.“

Rose: "You've asked me out tons of times."

Adrian: "Not really. I've made inappropriate suggestions and frequently pushed for nudity. But I've never asked you out on a real date."

"Make me an offer." I said at last. "Write it up, and give me a point-by-point outline of why you're a good would-be suitor."

He started to laugh, then saw my face. "Seriously? That's like homework. There's a reason I'm not in college." I snapped my fingers.

"Get to it, Ivashkov. I want to see you put in a good day's work."

I expected a joke or a brush-off until later, but instead, he said. "Okay."

"Okay?"

"Yep. I'm going to go back to my room right now to start drafting my assignment."

 I stared incredulously as he reached for his coat. I had never seen Adrian move that fast when any kind of labor was involved."

This week my book boyfriend is:

Edward Cullen from the Twilight Series by Stephenie Meyer

Stats

Status: Edward is a vampire and Bella Swan's love interest.

Age: 17 (108 as a vampire)

Height: 6'2

Eyes: Topaz

Hair: Bronze

More info: Edward can read minds. He was turned into a vampire by Carlisle in 1918.

 

"Time had not made me immune to the perfection if his face, and I was sure that I would never take any aspect of him for granted. My eyes traced over his pale white features: the hard square of his jaw, the softer curve of his full lips - twisted in a smile now, the straight line of his nose, the tip of his forehead - partially obscured by the tangle of rain-darkened bronze hair..."

"I'm the world's most dangerous predator. Everything about me invites you in. My voice, my face, even my smell. As if I wold need any of that. As if you could outrun me. As if you could fight me  off. I'm designed to kill."

"Bella, you're everything to me. You're everything."

"It would be hard to find someone less sad than I am now. Impossible, I'd venture. Not many people get eery single thing they want, plus all the things they didn't think to ask for, in the same day."

Actor Robert Pattinson

Yes, my Edward is Robert Pattinson. There's no changing that!
