Has anyone figured out the Twilight movieverse timeline? It's way more confusing than it has any right to be.
For starters, Twilight (2008) starts around two months later than when the book begins. (Which is January) And is presumably set in the same year as it's release.
According to the official wiki, James is killed in Spring 2008 (in movie).
Okay, I'm with it so far. First movie takes place in 2008. And the rest follow the timeline of the books, but in 2008/9 instead of 2005/6. Right?... Right?
Bella's 18th birthday will be Sept. 13 2008 instead. But that's on a Saturday. And Bella went to school on her birthday and on the day after.
Wait, doesn't Edward say his age in New Moon? He does!
And we know what year he was turned and how old he was when he became a vampire.
Some quick math. 1918-17=1901. 1901+109=2010.
Wait, does the start of New Moon happen in 2010? Did Twilight happen in 2010?
Let's check Bella's birthday again. September 13 falls on a Monday in the year 2010. So she'd be at school on her birthday and the next day.
Riley's wanted poster in Eclipse (2010) also gives a clue.
Riley's birthday was changed from October 8, 1986 to April 10, 1990 for the movie. According to his missing person poster, Riley was last seen on Friday, May 21, 2010. And Charlie and Riley's parents have been searching for him for over a year. So, Riley must've been turned in to a vampire in 2009? And in the book timeline, Victoria changed Riley around a month after James's death. Is that the same for the movie? That would mean the Twilight movie, and the beginning of New Moon, takes place in 2009. But that math doesn't math with Edward's age. And doesn't fit Bella's birthday.
If the date that Riley was last scene coincides with the date Victoria bit him, then that works with the idea of Twilight happening in 2010. Riley would have been turned in May 2010 and James would've been killed in April. Bella's 18th birthday would fall on Monday, September 13, 2010. Then most of the rest of New Moon would happen in 2011. As would Eclipse and the Breaking Dawn movies. Which works out with the date printed on the wedding invitations.
Saturday, August 13, 2011.
But back it up to Eclipse for a minute. Rosalie's newspaper, the one she reads as Carlisle wraps Bella's hand/wrist. It's Friday, June 18, 2010.
This newspaper sets Eclipse in 2010. So the wedding invitations should have been dated 2010. Or the newspaper should be dated Saturday, June 18, 2011.
The movieverse timeline is pretty unclear, but I think there's enough to support that they mainly take place in 2010 and 2011.

New Moon AU where Alice reactivates her email account, gets all the emails Bella was sending her in one big lump and rushes back to Forks before the cliff jump happens to berate the shit out of Bella like "Girl, what the FUCK. IM HAVING YOU COMMITTED."

Under His Control
Tw: Blood, Manipulation, Not Proof Read
The red in his eyes shone like rubies
The twain in his voice thick,
deeper than the sea.
His teeth gleamed white,
sharp enough to cut.
Blood painted my hands,
drip, drip, dripping-
onto the once alabaster sand.
The burning claws my throat,
waiting,
wanting,
all consuming.
His voice a stern whisper,
the command undeniably clear.
The fight is short, painful.
I give in and rejoice in the relief.
The euphoric waves bury me,
before it all fades into nothingness.
I'm empty once again.

as someone who has moved to a smaller city (30K people in total) for grad school, i would like to say twilight is wrong. the smaller the population the more people know you. i went to a cafe twice and they already know my order. 1000% everyone in forks knows the cullens are vampires and are just too entertained by how bad they are at acting normal to break it to them

what makes me actually boil with rage is the way it’s framed as though jacob & the cullens have an even rivalry and like, he hates them just as much as they hate him, but like… jacob is a lower class kid who lives on the rez, the cullens live in a plantation home on private property. jacob calling alice a leech is an insult, but alice calling him a mongrel calls into power and privilege, ya know. like am i supposed to honestly think jake making blonde jokes to rosalie (which is certainly sexist and uncalled for) is on the same level as her serving him food in a dog dish? him seeing the cullens as bloodsuckers and murderers is just like, incorrect and unfair, but them seeing him as uncivilized and over-aggressive has implications deeply rooted in the oppression of his people

When Bella went to the Cullen house but couldn't even make it past the front steps or to a window to look in side. Because she was afraid of what she might see. Because she didn't know what would be worse. Empty rooms. Void of furniture and any sign that the family she loved once dwelled there. Or the furniture covered up, collecting dust. Left behind. Abandoned. Just like her.
