me age 13: OMG!!! TEAM EDWARD!!!!! I LOVE TWILIGHT!!! TEAM EDWARD TEAM EDWARD TEAM EDW

me age 16: i fucking hate twilight i never want to see it again get it away from me what the fuck  was wrong with me

me age 18: omg wtf twilight isn’t so bad but why was i ever team edward he’s so abusive and controlling jacob is clearly the superior choice for bella i’m team jacob forever now

me age 20: Jacob Black is the epitome of the “nice guy” who plays heavily into “friendzone” culture. Bella has, on multiple occasions, told Jacob she has no romantic interest in him yet he continues to peruse her, even forcing himself on her against her will. She punches him after he forces a kiss on her but since he is a werewolf her hand bounces off his face and it’s laughed off as a joke while Jacob faces no real consequences for his actions. While Edward has exhibited abusive and controlling behavior, he stands in contrast to Jacob. Jacob will not stop pushing Bella to admit she has feeling for him while Edward, with the exception of a few minor incidents, takes the high road and doesn’t engage in Jacob’s childish and harmful practices. He does his best to protect Bella from harm and protect her ability to chose a human life or a life with him. What is really interesting is the Team Edward/Team Jacob culture that was perpetuated by this fandom when Bella Swan was the protagonist. Bella was essentially erased from the narrative by fans who wanted her with either Jacob or Edward and her choices were narrowed down to a controlling emo 100 year old vampire or a whiny man child werewolf. I am team Bella Swan and I support her ability to choose the life she wants. (Reference: Meyer, Stephenie. Twilight. , 2005. Print.)

She Broke Records With ‘Twilight.’ Then Hollywood Called Her ‘Difficult.’

Ten years ago, director Catherine Hardwicke grossed more than any woman ever had at the box office. She was thanked with a cupcake—and sexist Hollywood labels that hurt her career.

On the 10 year anniversary of Twilight, director Catherine Hardwicke reflects back on her hit film. With an opening weekend of just over $69 million, the film went on to earn $192 million in the U.S. alone, at the time a record breaking sum for a film directed by a woman. 

Hardwicke’s description of Summit’s reaction to the financial success of the film:

When I went in I saw that there were massive bouquets and balloons and bottles of wine, and crazy gifts sent to them by all the distributors around the world or whoever, all their friends. So I actually had it in my mind, wow, this is a pretty unprecedented success. I had heard these rumors that when a director does something like this they give them a car, they give them a two-picture deal or something like that. They give them an office and ask them what they want to do after this.

And then I got a mini cupcake that day. I was like oh, OK, cool—coming in here, I’m sort of working for free, doing this online stuff, and that was what I was offered: a mini cupcake.

I don't know where else to share this, but around 2010, tired of the 'team edward' v 'team jacob' nonsense, I went online, designed and ordered a 'Team Rosalie' shirt that said 'every rose has its thorns' and 'since 1915'. been a Rose stan since 2007. I wore that shit to SCHOOL. Paved the way for you wonderful rose dykes. There used to be a lot less of you.
