“Who can prevent all this from happening? The people. Public figures, journalists, musicians, actors, athletes, scientists, doctors, bloggers, stand-ups, Tiktokers, and more. Ordinary people.

They need to know the truth.”
you just know that after edward became a vampire and he was trying to grapple with the fact that he was a “monster” that he would go outside at night, see a mosquito or some shit, chuckle to himself and then say out loud “you know, you and i aren’t so different, pal” and then like fucking sob
we deserved a scene where bella, high as shit on painkillers in the hospital from her most recent injury, doesn’t realize she’s talking to one of the cullens and adamantly sticks with the cover story and they all just start messing with her as she very loopily struggles to explain away everything they ask about
i don't think the first response to anything along the lines of "i don't want sex/romance/marriage/kids/etc." should be "you'll change your mind someday"
it sets up an idea that in the end, everyone wants those things, which is not true. also it just completely disregards the person's statement by saying that yes, someday they will want those things.
there are a lot of people (not necessarily aspec) that don't want marriage or kids or sex or romance. there should be acknowledgement of those who don't want that.
