The way I screamed at this!

Anakin Skywalker! That is not helpful! Why would you say that?!?!?

🌹 for the cheating au maybe?

ok so a couple of thoughts on this: this year i want to a) give yall the climax of the cheating au, 7-9k of obikin suffering the consequences of their actions in high res

and b) put some amalgam of the cheating au ficlets up on ao3 like a story in the form of a long one shot---idea is being workshopped on how that would look (i think it'd be cool to do it in flashbacks with the present being padme finding out and the aftermath but im not sure)

but this is all to say that basically i have about 4 google docs open as i try to mix and mash shit together for the best combination of cheating au for ao3. until then, here's a lil bit of the much awaited for climax:

“And the children? What about the twins?”

Padmé looks carved from marble, dramatic lines of her make-up freezing her face into place. Only her eyes are alive, burning with all the feelings she has yet to vocalize. Betrayal, pain, fury, scorn, heartbreak, love. Love still, despite it all. “Now you think of the twins?” she asks, voice wavering and tone bitingly brutal.

Anakin swallows and shakes his head. He has half the mind to tell her that that isn’t fair, but he knows that won’t go over well. He knows she could probably say anything in the entire galaxy, accuse him of anything, and her sins would pale in the face of his own.

Yet there is something incredibly and surprisingly freeing about this, about sitting across their dining room table and facing the very thing he’s feared for the past five years. He’d been running from this confrontation for far too long, and now that there’s nothing to do but face it and watch the love in his wife’s eyes burn itself into disgust, he feels…strangely free.

The truth of the matter is that Padmé knows. She knows.

And even though it won’t help anything or anyone to pull the curtain back from her eyes completely, he can’t stop himself from opening his mouth. From saying, “When I first asked  Obi-Wan Kenobi to kiss me, there were no twins to think about.”

#obikin #anakin skywalker #padme anidala #obi wan kenobi #cheating au #cw: infidelity #this whole au is insane but this might be the most unhinged thing anakin could have said #Like I was cheating on you before you were pregnant so #Anakin!! #I will probably have to answer about how much I enjoy this au one day but for now I will continue to enjoy

it makes me mad that smeyer gave the cullens (and all vampires in general) the ability to do pretty much anything with their great memory and precision, etc.

like, carlisle is a surgeon and he’s the only one doing ANYTHING worthwhile.

i need writer!bella with a new pseudonym every century, writing about her life and experiences, about what she’s been through, about her world views, and donating books to school libraries.

i need fashiondesigner!alice creating new fashion companies every century and donating nice clothes to people in poverty.

i need musician!edward that doesn’t do concerts, but releases his pieces under new names all the time, and sets up a scholarship foundation for low income students wanting to get a music/arts degree.

i need feminist!rosalie supporting planned parenthood by making silent donations of a million dollars every year and creating her own organization to help r*pe survivors.

i need activist!esme spending so much time spreading awareness to domestic violence, creating blogs and a foundation, and raising money to support women who have lost children.

i need animalrights!emmett starting up conservation sites (mostly for bears but also for other animals like wolves and cougars).

i need the cullens to use their immortality, financial success, and vampire skills to do good in the world, doing things they enjoy.

try not to think about esme. esme, the innocent bystander in all the drama.

esme, who had to see the love of her adoptive son’s life cling onto humanity with every breath she took in their presence. esme, who had to put up with a traumatized confederate soldier, a depressed ww1 soldier wannabe, a hectic girl who had weight on her tiny shoulders to be an oracle to ensure their safety, the bitter, the energetic. and that they weren’t simply adoptive children for the pretense, or the convenience. but, dammit, just how broken they were. children. her children.  this woman had to deal with rejection and death and the crushing reality of the pain of their mourning and suffering. frozen as teens, hundreds of years old… the weakest cullen is somehow the most determined and selfless. don’t imagine esme cullen religiously reading cooking books and watching cooking programs to feed the wolves and bella. failed attempts of meals and the smell of burning and her being skittish of the cooker and its flames due to an “incident” with a pack of jiffy pop. desperately attempting to give all that she could give to prove that despite her… condition, that she loved, unconditionally, and cared. don’t imagine the hurt she masked with her understanding at the rejection of her kindness. don’t imagine her taking it in her stride and growing even more determined to fight and love. don’t imagine carlisle, the only man who really saw her as her own individual, consoling a weeping esme at the depravity of it all. robbed of her title, robbed of her individualism. esme cullen is not merely the trophy wife that carlisle took as a companion. she is a mother. she is a fighter. and if you think for a second that she wouldn’t give her life to save someone else, someone she barely knew, or one of her children? you’re dead wrong. because she may be the physically weakest; but this woman lost her son, committed suicide, and learned to love again. was steadfast and loving to those who entered her home, or even spoke to her. has the least detail out of any cullen. this woman is the ROCK of the cullens, because she did not make it a coven, she made it a family.

Honestly, I feel like Edward and Jacob aren't the only one to blame in this whole mess.

Like there should be blame on them (especially Jacob in Eclipse) but like Bella is a mess. And she has always been a mess.

She has no healthy outlook on her relationship. It probably comes from her relationship with her mother but she only function in wavelenght and it's self-sacrifice. She made forgetting her sense of self her main trait everytime she gets in a relationship. With Charlie, with Edward and with Jacob. In every relationship that she consider meaningful she goes all out and alwaya think of way to satisfy other often at her own expanse.

That is why Eclipse is such a mess. Like with Edward it literally like a pissing contest to see who can sacrifice first. But Jacob... He is malicious and entilted and use that character trait for his own gain. Like most of their interaction left a bad impression on me but it's mainly in the mountain scene that I wanted to vomit at there interaction. Like Bella run. That relationship is so toxic, so manipulative and controling. The nerve of lying and using your friend care for you to force them in a sexual situation is so disgusting. Like it's an awful and unforgiving behavior in a friend let alone a love interest. I hate the way Stephenie framed it.

#twilight renaissance #twilight saga #bella and jacob : please call the police #bella swan #jacob black #it's a no for me #like Edward need to take a chill pill and like 100 years of therapy but he knows what consent is

[opinionatedkindofgirl]

The only and acceptable ship in The Twilight Saga is Bella x therapy.

#twilight renaissance #twilight saga #twilight #bella swan #she needs help #she needs to establish boundaries #she needs to value herself as a person and not a tool for others happiness #she needs to work on her suicidal tendencies #she just needa to be not in a relationship and work on herself

[opinionatedkindofgirl]

I think it is a talent to create a whole series where all the main relationship AND the main characters are awful.

Bella: indecisive, try-hard that hurts everyone in her need to always do more, like madam, take a chill pill and stick to your choices, you are not and should never be responsible for other emotions and reactions, you are living YOUR life, making YOUR choices and you stick to them. It is so irritating to see her berate herself (and annoy me for hundreds of pages) about making everyone happy while always picking the choises that hurt everyone... like are even trying, are you using any braincells

Jacob: Not you are not a good friend, you are barely a decent being, like how can you kiss someone AGAINST their will, laugh as they break their hand in RESPONSE to your assault and be like no this is about love? How can you manipulate, gaslight and use their feelings and care about your to FORCE them to kiss you while in a commited relationship causing them pain and anguish and claim you love them? Like consent issues are never about love and always about control so like check yourself

Edward: Just stop please.

#twilight renaissance #twilight saga #eclipse #bella swan #jacob black #edward cullen #this is mainly about eclipse but like the whole saga has never centered about a healthy relationship #bella and edward... sigh #bella and jacob : please call the police #I am simply baffled and slighly worried about 12 years old me who read this

[opinionatedkindofgirl]

I am reading Eclipse and I want to vomit.

Jacob Black is one of the most disgusting love interest there is and I can't take.

Homeboy decided to be the nice guy(TM), a gaslighter, a wannabe rapist and definitely one of the worse friend there is.

He really said to Bella if you don't kiss me, I will kill myself...

And her reaction is that he wasn't playing fair? Girl, madam, woman... That's called emotional manipulation and if someone in your life do that you run.

About The Inner Circle and Nesta

So I want to make it clear that this post is NOT anti-Nesta. I happen to find her character interesting and complex, and I am hopeful for her journey in ACOFAS. I also want to clarify that I understand that her behaviour is a response to trauma. However, that doesn't mean that the inner circle should simply take it. They are all survivors of abuse. Mor with her family, Cassian with the Illyrians, Azriel with the Illyrians and his own family. Rhysand with the Illyrians and the 50 years of abuse and rape under Amarantha. The inner circle's members are so close to one another because they love and support each other. Feyre made a place within their ranks because she accepted their help and offered support in return. It was all healthy exchanges and positive exchanges. It is the same way with Elain. She is lovely and nice to others. She let them approach, making it easy to like her and offer her the support she needs. On the other hand, Nesta is hurting and using coping mechanisms that are unhealthy and hurtful towards others. Furthermore, she is a brilliant woman who knows what to say to hurt people (throwback to the Sidra Scene). Anyway, my point is that Nesta and the inner circle have no positive interaction and that the inner circle has no incentive to treat her the same way they did with Feyre and Elain. And even if they did, it would be catastrophic because the way they do things clash with where Nesta is right now. We can easily see that with Feyre. She has good intentions, but she is doing more harm than good. Trauma is different for everyone. Healing is different for everyone. And sometimes people can't be there for us on our journey. It doesn't make them bad people. It just makes them people that can't be there for us, people that can give us what we need. I just want to say that you don't have to be anti-anyone. Everyone in the series is flawed and trying their best.  Unfortunately, it's not enough, and it can even do more harm.

Living that procrastination life and finshing The Viscount Who Loved Me mere minutes before Bridgerton hits Netflix.

It was definitely less problematic than the Duke and I and even better. We love a good enemy to lovers with a side of slowburn.

Anyways, if someone is hesitating about the Duke and I, they can skip it. It is really trigerrjnf and since all the books can hold on their own and the cute stuff can't outweight the bad there.

All of this!! I really liked the book until Simon and Daphne got married. It went downhill from there and culminated in that rape scene. And yes, I am adamant that it was rape. It is sad that we have to do this still today but change the role in that scene and everyone would finally see it.

Why don’t you like Daphne

TW: sexual assault / It’s not that I don’t like Daphne. Honestly, all of the four oldest siblings had the potential to all be my faves of the clan because while they are all emotionally dumb as hell for most of their books they’re all snarky and fun and intelligent and charismatic and exactly the kind of characters I love ( i’m biased towards older/oldest siblings mostly because i am one ) . I know this is harped on to death but I loved Daphne, even in her naïveté & her ‘ cool girl ‘ aesthetic, until she decided to sexually assault her husband. I’ve seen a lot of defense of Daphne in that scene that she’s young & she didn’t know much about consent or sex at all, in big part due to Violet’s lack of preparing her daughter for what having sex meant ( The Duke & I is a walking ad for comprehensive sex education tbh ). I’ll even say that Simon was not in the right at all for lying to her about his ability to have kids or what ‘spending’ himself on the sheets meant but that doesn’t mean that he deserved any of what Daphne put him through. There are a few reasons that I wanted to rage quit TD&I over the last two nights, even more so than the first two times I read it in 2006 & 2012. 

One ) I’d argue that Daphne knew damn well about consent because she punches Nigel Berbrooke in the beginning of the book for trying to kiss her after she’d refused him. So - that’s not an excuse . She knew that no meant no for her, why was it ok when it came to Simon? Not only does the book start that scene with a Drunk Simon in bed with Daphne but Daphne waking up and deciding to take advantage of Simon’s drunkenness. “ Daphne felt the strangest most, intoxicating surge of power. He was in her control, she realized. He was asleep and probably still more than a little drunk, and she could do whatever she wanted with him. She could have whatever she wanted. “ The book states multiple times how strong Daphne is, how she’s stronger than other women because she has four brother, because she’s had to help raise the littler ones & JQ makes sure that she uses that to her advantage. ‘ Daphne bore down on him with all her might ... she planted her hands underneath him using all of her strength to hold him against her . she would not lose him this time. She would not lose this chance. ’ 

Two ) I really loved Daphne & Simon’s easy friendship & how believably she fell in love with him & that scene & the last 2/3 of the book ruin any goodwill that friendship turned to relationship has gotten in the first part of the book. Especially when after she had done this Simon goes straight into a panic attack & his stutter is triggered to the point where he could barely talk to her because he felt so violated & tried to tell her that but couldn’t. “He opened his mouth to pour invective over her, to castigate her for betraying him, for taking advantage of him, but his throat tightened, and his tongue swelled, and he couldn’t even begin a word much less finish one.” & it never gets talked about, he never gets to tell her that HE felt wrong about what had just happened. It’s blanketed over because he thinks she’s pregnant & it’s treated like Daphne is the victim. As if some great conspiracy not to give her a child was more important than the fact that she sexually assaulted her husband, not only that but she didn’t care & tried to rationalize it after. ‘She didn’t feel guilty. She knew she should be, but she wasn’t. She hadn’t planned it. She hadn’t looked at him while he was sleeping and thought - he’s probably still drunk. I can make love to him and capture his seed and he’ll never know. It hadn’t happened that way. ‘ Except it had, two pages earlier. Literally.

Three ) I’ll admit that in 2006 when I first binged the series ( I picked up TVWLM first so i was more than excited that it was a series & TVWLM my first romance novel at that ) I didn’t see anything wrong with The Duke & I. I’d met Simon & Daphne already in TVWLM and knew that they were happy and pregnant, but I was also 14. 14 year old me thought that that was fine & that appalls 28 year old me because there are women who STILL think that it’s ok, women who were older than me when they read it the first time & don’t understand that what JQ did to Simon was not ok because she tried to write in such a way that made it seem like Simon actually wanted it, despite being drunk & despite telling daphne multiple times he did not want kids. because if it had been the other way around ( daphne didn’t want kids & Simon ' tricked ‘ her & held her down while she was vulnerable to impregnate her ) it would have STILL been sexual assault). It perpetuates every stereotype that male victims of assault have to deal with. ‘She was strong but he was much stronger than her.’ ‘He was drunk but he got hard in his sleep & went along with it when he woke up.’ & I know that it’s a book, it’s fiction that came out in 2000 which was a different time, when male victims of sexual assault were taken even less seriously but that doesn’t change the fact that it was wrong & I think it’s important that books that are problematic are acknowledged for what perception they’re putting out into the world. Modern romance novels are about empowering women & making it easier to talk about the fact that women were/are sexual beings & the men that love them don’t have to be aggressive with them but see them as their equal. That’s what they’ve always been about for me & it’s disappointing that people STILL make excuses for what this book perpetuates. That being said, I hope that they either remove the scene all together or they make sure that it is handled properly ( not like law and order svu but acknowledge what happened to Simon & make a serious effort to make sure that power imbalance doesn’t happen again ) in the show.
