“At LeAsT EdWaRd UnDeRStAnDs CoNsEnT”
You know you guys are talking about a guy who literally planned on murdering her, stalked her before they knew each other, snuck into her bedroom to watch her sleep, stalked her out of town, snooped through her things, made her do things she doesn’t want to do (prom, parties, wedding) disabled her truck, BROKE her truck to get rid of it even tho she loves it, told her she couldn’t see her best friend/true love bc he’s dangerous even tho his entire purpose is to protect humans from vampires and even tho his brother tried to kill her and every single near death experience she’s had is bc of vampires and him. 💀

i love that in the first book, bella’s free time from school & dealing w moody vampires is just. cooking dinner & reading the same book 5 times in a row.
it may seem like a lack of character development- but i too spend most of my time trying to remember the basic necessities i need to not die & hyperfocusing on a single piece of media for 8 months.

I just got an absolutely genius idea (stupidest idea ever). In Good Omens season 3 Jesus should be played by Robert Pattinson, that way he can face off Barth Crouch jr and Aro at the same time

It was there, sitting in the lunchroom, trying to make conversation with seven curious strangers, that I first saw them.
They were sitting in the corner of the cafeteria, as far away from where I sat as possible in the long room. There were five of them. They weren't talking, and they weren't eating, though they each had a tray of untouched food in front of them. [...] But all this is not why I couldn't look away.
I stared because their faces, so different, so similar, were all devastatingly, inhumanly beautiful.

Teenie me in 2012 everytime the Team Edward VS Team Jacob conversation came up

Based on a true story...
For the attraction I felt for Aro I was considered weird by friends and my auntie. Today I know the Michael Sheen charm hitted me!

Wiggins!) the bizarre thing about the vampire men in the cullen family all seem to be at least subconsciously what Smeyer wants Bella to have but can’t seem to get over her initial vision of what she saw in her drafts or whatever. It’s odd that every single one of the Cullen men are like strongly devoted (but mostly devoid of personality because it’s so Bella centric) but when you compare them to Edward they seem interesting in some ways. Like Narratively we’re supposed to have this threat that Edward is constantly holding back from killer her but I don’t feel like we see that. Conversely, Jasper is constantly the one who is suffering about human smells and is the more vampire-like. But he’s also a glorified lap dog. So it’s like ‘oh he’s a monster but he’ll never hurt me” (things Alice has said out loud. Man even psychics slip up. I swear her powers weren’t so accurate until Smeyer needed an excuse for plot reasons)
Emmett feels like when some women say they like waifish guys because they don’t want to seem like they’re vapid for liking “big dudes with muscles” so of course you pair Emmett with the “shallow blonde”
Carlisle, I swear only exists so Edward has someone to model but I would also argue that he’s proto-Edward before whatever reworking she had to do when writing Twilight for a YA audience and brought him back as a different character.
Yeah a rant
hello again bestie Wiglet! (note to self: learn Photoshop so i can shop Jacob's bad wig onto a pic of Piglet)
this is such an interesting take! thanks for sharing. i totally see what you're saying. in all the Cullen men we see both a blend of softness & devotion *and*, interestingly enough, a patchwork of patriarchal ideas of what a man "should" be. & this idea comes to the forefront with the depiction of the love interests
smeyer wants us to see Edward as the chivalric gentlemen from the Days of Yore. we see this in the opening doors, the cutsey little romance taglines ("you are my life now," "look after my heart; i've left it with you," "so the lion fell in love" etc), the knight saving the damsel in distress, the expensive tokens of his affection, etc.
at the same time, in both Edward & Jacob we see the crude traits of the Patriarchy Dreamboat kinda guy. if i had to sum it up, it's like the guy you see in 80s movies. "bad boy." "opposites attract." he's a jerk. he's a hunk. he's domineering. he's allowed to show emotion only & especially if that emotion is anger. he's persistent in his efforts to get the girl, going so far as to kiss her without her consent if it's For a Good Cause (Edward in New Moon post-Volterra, Jacob in Eclipse). he's a cool guy who's In Control 👉😎👉
perhaps that's why the Twilight saga appealed so such a large swath of women & girls. the women, who grew up with the notion that they could have the true love of their dreams so long as they submitted to the patriarchal social contract, saw the contract being fulfilled in Edward. (i.e., "you can be the king if you treat me like a princess.")
on the other hand, the 90s/00s girlies who grew up in the midst of a feminist revolution & who could see the glimmer of a dismantled patriarchy on the horizon were attracted to Edward for the flashes of radical feminist love they saw: the unapologetic expressions of emotion, the honesty of him sharing his vulnerabilities & weaknesses, Bella's ability to override Edward's will when necessary, etc.
sorry, i know this isn't really the crux of the rant you submitted, but it is extremely interesting to see these contradictions playing out in all the male characters of the saga. it's almost like smeyer is having this internal debate with herself without even realizing it...

The Most American Things About Twilight
Native Americans are misrepresented and dehumanized (literally)
being 18 years old forever is seen as a desirable thing and not a living nightmare
there is loads of violence but almost no sex
a fetus's life is prioritized over that of a mother
a mother dies in childbirth
rich, evil vampires survive the series while poor, evil vampires are ripped to shreds and burned
children fight a war
a teenager leaves their parents home to start their own life and plans to never return
the school system is so broken and lazy that it doesn't notice when students are literally (un)dead
the death penalty is Good sometimes
cars are characters
the difference between states/regions is emphasized
a vampire coven is seen as powerful even though 7/8 members are less than 100 years old
Europeans Are Weird and coming to the New World is the only way to Be Free
regularly hunting megafauna without a license
baseball
Christianity = morality
the power of the individual: with all of his infinite wealth and influence, Carlisle decides to help people by... being a small town doctor. which, like, he's not wrong about, doctors definitely help people. but it's kind of the Batman problem, right? is that really where he's most impactful? get involved in some aid groups, man. lobby the government or something

Do you think Bella ever gets the intrusive thought to bite Edward and remembers all her teeth would fall off if she tried?

Edward trying to get himself killed after hearing Bella died is really peak emo behaviour. Is it stupid? Yes. Totally in line with the behaviour of someone stuck mentally at the age 17? Also yes

So we all know Stephenie Meyer has mentioned how My Chem had an influence on the books while writing, and she published “soundtracks” for each book on her blog with:
“i’m not okay (i promise)” in her soundtrack playlist for twilight,
“this is how i disappear” and “sleep” for her soundtrack playlist for eclipse,
“the sharpest lives” in her playlist for breaking dawn
Stephenie Meyer has jokingly said that Gerard would have made a good Edward, and that he was a fan-fave when they were casting the film.
She started writing Twilight in 2003-2004 with the book being published in 2005.
If we had gotten Gerard as Edward, he would have looked like this:

I think everybody should put all of the characters from their favourite fandom into Tomodachi Life so they can see who everybody would end up with and so they can see their favourite characters do weird shit.
