The term “effervescent” describes something that shimmers in the manner of light reflecting off of bubbles in water – or, more simply, something that sparkles.
Edward Cullen, a well-known sparkly vampire, employing a term that means “sparkly” as a general purpose superlative is basically equivalent to how Smurfs describe anything good as “Smurfy”.
Hi, this is a bit random but do you know what happened to @gayvampiretown ? I love all the ruff bois stuff, but can't find them anymore, and I saw you've reblogged from them. Do you know where they went?
I haven’t been very active in the fandom lately (not since Midnight Sun came out and kind just...decimated my interest in Twilight for a minute) but I haven’t heard from them, sorry. :( I wish I could be more of a help but I haven’t been keeping tags on many Twilight blogs unless they have the word ‘Emmett’ or ‘chevy’ in the url.
I have complicated feelings about Rosalie, but I feel it is important to remember she was turned in the middle of the greatest trauma point in her life. She is frozen in that position of helplessness. Keeping in mind the situations when the Cullens were turned helps explain some of their behavior IMO (IE Esme’s nesting, Emmetts obsession with competition, Edwards abandonment issues)
The concept extends to the rest of the vamps as we know them - Hell, Jane and Alec’s powers are directly tied to their method of death (Jane wanting others to feel the pain of burning alive, Alec wanting to take the pain away). And Alice, the best adjusted of the Cullens from the outset, is the only one not saddled by the circumstances of her turning, because she has no subconscious memory of it to be solidified like the rest of the family.
It feels intentionally obtuse to not understand Rosalie’s desperation for control and stability as manifestation of that trauma. That doesn’t make her choices right, but it certainly gives her purpose, rather than the “meaningless bitchy blonde” some in the fandom paint her.
