[ DEMET ÖZDEMIR, CIS FEMALE, SHE/HER. ]    hey, isn’t that ESME CULLEN ? just the other day i saw them roaming around forks ! i know they look like a normal 28 / 125 year old, but i heard a rumor that they’re actually a VAMPIRE & are always hanging around with THE OLYMPIC COVEN. weird, right ? i wonder if they know anything about all the deaths that have been going on. anyways, i knew it was them ‘cause they reminded me of the feeling of coming home, you will never find anyone as trusting or as kind, the soothing scratch of charcoal against paper & endless stacks of books.

hello !! i’m mari and my twilight obsession is eternal !! exactly, i read midnight sun and my feels for the cullen fam returned with vengeance, that’s why i am here. this time i’m bringing you two characters, the best vampire mom ever ( esme cullen ) and ancient sad vampire ( marcus ). this is esme’s intro, marcus’ will follow shortly. i am truly excited to get to writing with all of you, so please hit that heart button and i’ll come bother you !! 

tw: relationship abuse, death, suicide

esme anne platt was born in 1895 in columbus, ohio. her parents had desperately wanted a son, a someone to take over the farm after her father would grow old, but instead they had to settle with a daughter. she never had a warm relationship with her father, mostly due to that disappointment, and her mother didn’t understand her, either. she was a lively child, always exploring and eager to play.

she spent most of her childhood outdoors, creating her own worlds and searching for anything exciting and new. school was alright but staying in one place was sometimes far too tedious. she didn’t quite fit into the mold of a proper daughter – she was too mischievous and imaginative.

one day, when she was 18 years old, there was a thunderstorm outside. she wanted to see it closer, so she climbed a tree to see it better. when the lightning struck, it startled her badly enough for her to fall from the tree and subsequently break her leg.

the pain has faded from her memories but she never really forgot the kind doctor who healed her leg. he treated her with respect and seemed to actually listen to what she had to say. men like that were rare and she was truly impressed. sadly he soon moved out of town, but the memory of him stayed with her.

she wanted to become a teacher, but her parents wouldn’t allow it. instead she was pressured by her parents to marry. she didn’t particularly want that, especially not with the man they had chosen to her, but in attempt to please her parents, she went ahead with their plan.

her marriage to charles evenson was far from a successful one – he was abusive and didn’t like his wife’s antics. the marriage quickly transformed esme from a cheerful young woman into a miserable, dispassionate wreck.

when he was drafted, esme’s life momentarily improved. but when he returned, despite all her prayers, she realized nothing good would come from staying. soon after his return, she found out that she was pregnant. that solidified her decision to leave.

she took most of his savings and fled columbus, ending up in ashville. it was easy enough to claim that she was a war widow trying to start a new life for herself and her unborn child. she even began working as a teacher, fulfilling her childhood dream.

she quickly started to love her unborn child more than anything else, so when he died only two days after his birth, it destroyed her entire world.

she had nothing to live for, not after her son was no longer alive. in her desperation, she attempted suicide by jumping off a cliff.

she was brought straight to the morgue, deemed a lost cause. yet she was still barely alive. she knew death wasn’t far, so when she saw carlisle in her final moments of consciousness, she simply thought he was an angel. it made perfect sense at the time.

though in the middle of her transformation, so much like she imagined hell to be, he might as well been a demon.

she woke up for the last time, confused and in pain. it was strange and the first months were intensely difficult. yet she was content with her new life – she quickly started to consider carlisle and edward as her family.

it wasn’t at all surprising when she found herself falling in love with carlisle. when the feelings were reciprocated, it felt like all her dreams were finally coming true.

as their family has grown, so has esme’s happiness. sometimes she can be a bit overbearing to her adoptive children, but she truly loves them and only wants them to be safe. if they’re happy, she’s happy.

after that rant of an intro, here’s some trivia that i somehow didn’t include in the rant part:

unlike in the books, my version of esme actually leaves the house? regularly attends whitney’s mom’s garden parties, volunteers at the kindergarten and brings the best cakes to the bake sales.

edward is her favorite, though she would never say it out loud. these days bella is her favorite simply by existing.

lowkey obsessed with anything art-related, has a couple of degrees in that field (architecture, interior design, art history...), though prefers painting.

kind-hearted and believes in people. loves easily and with her whole heart. the og mom vampire
