Blog update:

This won’t come as a surprise to those of you who’ve followed for a while, but I don’t have the time or the interest in keeping up with this blog anymore. I do have a few drafts that I plan to finish and I’m always happy to answer asks/post submissions, but I don’t plan to create new fashion posts or queue date posts/holiday posts going forward.

Thank you all for your support of this silly blog over the past decade (!!) - it’s been a lot of fun. ❤️

Continuing with yesterday’s family ski trip, it’s now the late afternoon of the first day of 1957. Rosalie, Esme, and Carlisle are a bit uncomfortable being around so many friendly and intoxicated humans, and are glad they’ll soon be heading home.

(Many thanks to @the-stars-descend for sending me the illustration and caption! I really love their body language- the way Carlisle is practically surrounding Esme and how Rosalie has her hands in her pockets like “No way am I taking this drink from you, buddy.” 😀)

Esme and a younger cousin on New Year’s Day in 1911.

Little does she know what a momentous year 1911 will prove to be!

All the Cullens’ red-eyed house guests take their leave, off to murder humans in other parts of the world. Later that day, Bella and Edward escape to the meadow and she manages to let him read her mind:

Okay, so what were the BD2 people thinking?? It is January. Even in the Pacific Northwest’s temperate climate you don’t have a field of spring flowers in January! I suppose the implication is that the meadow is magical, and to be honest I’m all for actual magical elements, except that in canon the meadow is just a meadow. Exceptionally pretty and somewhat otherworldly in its perfection, but that’s all.

Also, making this post has reminded me that the entire saga takes place over a period of less than two years. That’s… kind of mind-boggling, actually.

Rosalie, Edward, and Esme all dressed up for New Year’s Eve in 1934. Carlisle’s going too, but he’s taking the picture. :)

Edward and Rose in 1932 (aka before the Age of Emmett) at one of Carlisle’s New Year parties hosted by his hospital friends. They’re both kind of pissed that they have to spend the whole evening stuck to each other because they don’t know anyone, but hey, they’re siblings and they’re in this for the long ride.

December 27, 2006

On this date, Bella picks up the forged documents from J. Jenks (who is relieved to hear that she isn’t planning to steal Renesmee away from Edward and run off into the sunset with Jacob…and maybe I have a weird sense of humor, but given the love-triangle-debacle that was Eclipse I found Bella’s surprise at his worry to be amusing.) Anyway! Bella heads back to the Cullen’s house and secretly rummages through Alice’s closet for (a huge amount of) cash, finds a black leather backpack small enough for Renesmee to wear, and tries to force a vision onto Alice with a clue of where she’s going to send Jacob and Renesmee. She hides the cash, IDs, the note to go to Rio, and letters for Renesmee, Jacob, Charlie, and Renee in the backpack where Jacob will find them after the battle.

And then there’s nothing to do but wait.
