"Bella had no real friends" does Angela Weber mean nothing to you

i think one of the most important things you learn about making connections with others is that a significant portion of the time people just do not know theyre doing what theyre doing

i think a lot of people that haven't read the books don't realize how close Bella and Jacob were in New Moon. You get a little bit of it in the movie, but most of the book is consumed by it. They are with each other constantly, they are making inside jokes, confiding in each other about things they can't talk about with anyone else, and taking care of each other all the time. Bella describes how being with him is bringing her back to life. That doesn't really translate fully in the movie and that's why I feel like a lot of fans that only watch the movies are quick to choose Team Edward.

Btw that rule about not trusting how you feel after 4pm in the winter or 9pm in the summer (really we should just say after the sun goes down but whatever) is only about negative feelings. if you are chilling with your best friend drinking hot chocolate and have never felt more loved and safe, that is 100% true and you can and should trust

My heart goes out to those, who have lost so many family members that they will dine on a holiday meal with a table full of ghosts. Please be kind during this season of joy. Not everyone is happy during the holidays.

Please return us to a world where Notp and squick are used for a ship you don’t like instead of just making up a load of bullshit about how immoral it is or w/e lol

The Crow Beneath the Ancient Arch

Hey I should probably actually post here more, huh??

[ohgodanothertwilightblog]

“this wasn’t a choice between you and jacob. it was a choice between who I should be and who I am”

oH SHIT. oh shit!!!! can we… can we fucking TALK about this???

can we TALK about the fact, that, right before this scene in eclipse was a scene in which jacob says “i’m perfect for you bella, being with me would be as easy as breathing” and bella responds by telling him she loves him but it doesn’t change anything???

like we make fun of bella for being a monsterfucker, a stereotype, a damsel in distress… but this right here? this is real. 

so many people go through life focusing on what they’re supposed to do and who they’re supposed to be. they pursue careers they’ve been told are safe, they make friends with the “right” people, they marry their long term s/o because that’s what they’re supposed to do

people don’t have midlife crises because they took the time to make mistakes and figure out who they are and what they want, they have midlife crises because they’ve always followed the path that was laid out for them and it’s not until they’re in their 40s that they realize how unfulfilling and empty their lives are. 

especially when you’re young, there’s so much emphasis on fitting in, making the “right” choices, not shaking things up. there’s a lot of pressure to follow an assigned path. 

but bella!! bella rejects this entirely. at 18, bella knows what most people don’t learn until their 40s or later; that looking like you have a happy, successful life on paper is not nearly as important as actually living a happy, fulfilling life, regardless of how unconventional it looks. you can see this illustrated in the difference between jessica and bella: jessica is valedictorian, captain of the volleyball team, popular, successful, and, despite all of this, deeply unhappy and insecure. mealwhile bella likes learning for the sake of learning, spends her time doing things she enjoys like reading, keeps to herself because she prefers her own company even if it makes her unpopular, and, oh yeah, decides to join a vampire coven despite the constant danger. none of these are the “right” choices, but they’re the choices that are right for her. and as a result, she ends up confident, empowered, happy and fulfilled. 

what bella is doing in this speech at the end of eclipse is actively choosing to set aside other people’s expectations of what her life is supposed to look like and instead choosing a life that works for her. 

could bella live a normal human life, go to a good college, stay out of danger, probably end up in a safe career in publishing? she could, easily. but that’s not what she wants. and she knows that even if she’d be safe and successful, she’d never be fulfilled. jacob says “being with me would be as easy as breathing” but bella doesn’t want something easy, she wants to be challenged!! she wants to forge her own path!! navigating life or death situations might be scary, but they also make her feel strong, capable, like she’s doing something significant. bella isn’t looking for comfortable, she’s not looking for safe. she’s looking for happiness and fulfillment, no matter what that looks like from the outside. 

forging your own path is scary. not living up to the expectations of your friends and family and actively making decisions they disapprove of is hard. moving forwards towards an uncertain and challenging future is terrifying. and yet bella chooses, over and over again, to do what’s best for herself instead of giving in to what other people want from and for her. 

charlie says “you have to learn to love what’s good for you”. edward says becoming a vampire means choosing damnation. rosalie tells her she’s throwing away her mortality. jacob says being a vampire is immoral and monstrous. her friends think she’s crazy and irresponsible for getting married at 18. 

and yet!! she does it all anyway. 

bella standing her ground and pursuing what she wants despite other’s opinions is a feminist act. bella not giving in to expectations about who she should be and how she should behave is a feminist act. bella rejecting safety and security in favor of happiness and actively refusing to allow the men in her life to make her decisions for her is a feminist act. 

in addition to all this, do you know who else chooses an unconventional life of happiness over an unfulfilling life of convention, comfort, and acceptance? queer people. recognizing and accepting your own queer identity is a process of rejecting social expectations and embracing your truest self even when doing so is uncertain, scary, and actively dissaproved of. 

in conclusion… bella is a queer feminist icon and the end scene of eclipse proves it.

people will cry about how twilight “ruined vampires” for forever, but holy shit did the werewolves get done so much dirtier. even if you somehow set aside some of the most terrible racial coding i’ve ever read, they’re still stuck with imprinting, that weird thing where edward randomly reveals that they’re actually not Real Werewolves^TM at the end of breaking dawn, the leah clearwater situation… kinda shocked that people don’t seem to bring that up very often
