I know I keep complaining about this but it doesn’t even make sense for Bella’s character to have super self-control as a Bonus Vampire Power. This is the girl that cut her arm open with a rock because she thought it was the only way to help in a vampire battle. This is the girl that constantly tried to seduce her vampire boyfriend with insane bloodlust and Superman-level strength knowing damn well she could die. When they had their first kiss she instantly lost control of her body and tried to climb him like a tree despite agreeing to “hold very still” 0.5 seconds prior. This is the girl that punched not one, but two werewolves in the face. She went cliff-diving on a whim when a storm was rolling in! Impulse control was never her strong suit.
We, as readers, were robbed of her feral newborn phase. Bella should’ve gone a little apeshit, as a treat
It is BANANAS that after over two and a half books of build-up to her gaining this super strength and speed, the culmination is like… 8 chapters fawning over her ability to not abuse these new powers.
Let her get carried away knocking trees down! Make her injure Emmett (just a little) getting a little overzealous with the arm wrestling! Let’s read her instincts taking over and taking a snap at her former best friend the first time she encounters him in wolf form!
Even if she doesn’t explicitly crave it I feel getting a little unhinged, however temporary, would be cathartic for her.
Hell, give Edward the gift of fussing over his feral wife— what the hell is he supposed to do in canon with all this surplus worried energy with which he’s armed himself? As it’s written, he’d be the first vampire in history to get an ulcer because he wasn’t gradually weaned off of his constant fretting. He can’t quit that shit cold turkey
