My Twilight Saga Mystery List: Questions Without Edward's POV
As I dive back into the Twilight series, I'm finding that without Edward's perspective, a lot of things just don't add up. I'll be adding to this list as I continue rereading the series, so stay tuned for more mysteries to solve!
Why is Edward so obsessed with math?
Did Edward vomit back the piece of pizza he pretended to eat with Bella?
(*Midnight Sun* did answer many unanswered questions fans have had for years, but these two still remain a mystery!)
The Perfect Summer: What made Bella and Edward’s summer together “perfect”? What were they up to during those sunny days in Forks?
Jasper’s Distance: Why does Jasper keep his distance from Bella after the birthday incident, especially after spending time with her in close quarters during the trip to Phoenix?
The Three-Day Wait: After the party incident, why does Edward stay three more days, basically ignoring Bella? Was he waiting for a sign to leave or hoping she’d break up with him if he ghosted her?
ESPN with Charlie: Why does Edward spend time watching ESPN with Charlie when he’s about to leave Bella? What was going through his mind?
The Woods Breakup: Why does Edward choose to break up with Bella in the woods? What’s the significance of the setting?
Bella’s 38th Birthday… Red Flags & Sparkles Edition 🎂🚩✨
So it’s officially Bella Swan-Cullen’s 38th birthday (yeah, feeling ancient now 🙃). Instead of something sweet and wholesome, I ended up making two short, very not-celebration-y edits because the songs just hit me while I was working on bigger tributes. Back when Twilight first dropped, none of us cared — we were too busy swooning over the sparkly vampire. ✨ But looking back now? Yeah… Edward was basically a walking pile of red flags 🚩😂. Still, I’ll always be Team Edward, red flags and all — because early-20s me didn’t care, and adult me just has to laugh at it (plus, let’s be honest, he’s loaded and I wouldn’t mind marrying for the money).
✨ Bella Swan-Cullen // …but I’m not crazy, I’m just a little unwell!
This one dives into Bella’s Breaking Dawn pregnancy arc, when Edward completely shuts her out. Set to Taylor Acorn’s haunting cover of “Unwell” (original by Matchbox Twenty), the lyrics echo her isolation perfectly — she’s not crazy, just fighting for her choice and for the love she refuses to give up.

✨ Edward Cullen // …and now I’m crawling back to you!
From heartbreak to redemption. Edward’s desperate apology in New Moon through to Bella finally saying yes to his proposal in Eclipse. Set to “Crawling Back to You” by the Backstreet Boys, it captures his pride spilling on the floor and his months of pleading until she finally agrees to forever.

And if you want a full-on tribute/celebration vibe, check out the one I posted last month:
Edward & Bella // Chase you like a boy… and love you like a man!
👉 https://youtu.be/pIb5bH4tYds
More full tributes are coming soon 👀 so stay tuned.
💐 Happy 38th, Bella — to the girl who saw every red flag, still chose the sparkly rich boy, and never looked back.
💔 Edward chased her like a boy… but in Breaking Dawn, he loved her like a man.
I made an Edward & Bella tribute video set to “Like a Man” by Dallas Smith, and I can’t get over how perfectly the lyrics line up with their arc.
Edward spends so much of the saga chasing Bella with reckless, obsessive energy—always torn between passion and fear. But in Breaking Dawn, he finally steps into the role of a partner, a husband, and a father. He chooses her in every way. That’s when he stops chasing her like a boy and starts loving her like a man.
I know some fans may not agree—they see Edward as toxic or controlling—but this tribute is for those of us who were Team Edward at heart and fell in love with him as teenagers. It’s about the feeling he gave us back then: protective, intense, all-consuming love. Maybe flawed, maybe messy—but unforgettable.
The video goes from Twilight to Breaking Dawn, tracing that transformation—infatuation to forever. Would love your thoughts 💬
🌟🐺 Welcome back to “Keeping Up with the Cullens (and Apparently the Wolves Too)”—and oh boy, things have taken a turn. Mono? Seriously, Billy? That’s the best excuse you could come up with for why Jake disappeared? 🙄 I mean, I get it, parenting is hard, but come on! I think we can all agree that Bella deserves a better best friend at this point. First, Edward breaks her heart, and now Jake’s pulling the same vanishing act? It’s like Forks is just a black hole of ghosting. 😤💔
Let’s break this down: Jake promises Bella that he won’t hurt her—PROMISES. So naturally, he goes ahead and hurts her by completely ignoring her and pulling a full Edward. 🏃♂️💨 Like, what gives? Where’s the BFF manual that says “Step 1: When your friend is heartbroken, disappear for weeks without explanation”? Spoiler alert: it doesn’t exist! I’m seriously questioning Jake’s “good friend” credentials here. What happened to being her emotional support wolf? 🐺💔
And Billy… oh, Billy. Mono was the cover story? 🤦♀️ Like, really? Not only did you drop the ball with that one, but then you had the audacity to blame Bella for Jake’s issues. What?! Bella’s already dealing with enough: Edward ditching her, hallucinations of said vampire ex, and now her best friend is ghosting her too. At least Charlie, awkward dad as he may be, chews Billy out and stands up for Bella. 🙌 Go, Charlie! Finally! One Dad Point awarded. You can tell Charlie’s as done with the cryptic behavior in Forks as we are. 🍽️ Even if he still left Bella alone when she was sick (still bitter about that one, Charlie, but I digress 😒), at least he’s stepping up now. 👏
And then, when Bella finally confronts Jake? Oh, the drama! Jake finally shows his face after weeks of radio silence, and instead of apologizing like a decent human—err, wolf—he goes full jerk mode. 😡 It’s like Billy’s jerkiness rubbed off on him or something. Bella’s standing there like, “Hello? I thought we were friends, why are you ghosting me?” And Jake? He just brushes her off, giving lame excuses, leaving her standing in the rain (of course). 🌧️ For someone who was all about protecting Bella, Jake sure has a funny way of showing it. 🙄 Bella deserved better from Jake in that moment, but no, he’s too busy sulking about his transformation, which, let’s be real, doesn’t give him a free pass to be a jerk. I get that being part of a wolf pack is stressful, but you don’t treat your best friend like that! 🐺
Speaking of treating Bella poorly, let’s talk about Sam and his pack. How is ordering the wolves to stay quiet about their “big furry secret” supposed to help anything? Like, Bella already knows about the supernatural world! 🧛♂️ Vampires, werewolves, what’s next, mermen? At this point, she could write a book on it. What harm could telling her the truth do? It’s not like she’s going to freak out—she literally dated a vampire! 🐺 But nooo, Sam has to go all secretive, making everything ten times more complicated than it needs to be. I’m just saying, if someone sat Bella down and gave her the Werewolves 101 talk, a lot of this drama could be avoided. But drama’s what we’re here for, right? 😂
Oh, and how did Bella not figure out that Jacob was a werewolf during their encounter in the meadow? 🌳 When she looks into the reddish-brown wolf’s eyes, she literally thinks of Jacob, and yet it doesn’t click? Like, how, Bella? You figured out that Edward was a vampire in 3.5 seconds but can’t connect the dots when Jake basically gives you puppy-dog eyes while in wolf form? 🐶 Come on! It’s the most obvious thing ever! Maybe her brain was just tired from all the motorcycle crashes. 🏍️
Now let’s dive into Bella’s double standards. She trusted Edward, a literal vampire who drinks blood, but the second she finds out about the wolves, she’s convinced they’re out hunting people. 🩸 Bella, make it make sense! You’ve got more faith in a guy who could literally drain you dry in seconds than in the wolves who are out here trying to protect you from other vampires. It’s like, “Oh, Edward, you won’t hurt me even though you thirst for my blood,” but the wolves? Immediate suspicion. Bella, girl, be consistent! 🙃
And speaking of sketchy supernatural beings… What even happened with Laurent? 🧛♂️ One minute he’s living his best vegetarian vampire life in Alaska, and the next he’s back with Victoria, plotting Bella’s demise. Honestly, dude, Alaska seemed like a sweet gig. But apparently, Laurent couldn’t resist the allure of teaming up with a vampire out for revenge. So now we’re stuck with more drama, just in case Bella wasn’t dealing with enough already. 🙄
So yeah, this whole mess? It’s got me rolling my eyes more than Bella at a Forks High pep rally. Jake’s ghosting, Billy’s lame excuses, and Bella being totally oblivious—there’s just too much drama for one girl to handle. Bella seriously needs a therapist at this point. 🛋️ 🧠
🌟🎬 Welcome back to “Keeping Up with the Cullens”! Or more accurately, “Keeping Up with Bella’s Most Awkward Movie Date Ever.” 🎥🙄 Today, we’re diving into the cringiest third-wheel adventure known to humankind—featuring Bella, Jake, and Mike. It’s an uncomfortable love triangle, complete with awkward hand placements, a puking incident, and, of course, the infamous flu. 😂💀
So here’s the setup: Bella, bless her heart, is just trying to enjoy a “friendly” movie night, but we all know what’s *really* going on. Jake is full-on (and painfully) trying to win her heart, while poor Mike doesn’t stand a chance but gives it his best shot anyway. 💔 Mike’s all in, despite the fact that he’s basically the third wheel, and Bella is doing everything in her power to *firmly* place Jake in the friend zone. 🛑 But Jake? He’s having none of it. 😂
The rest of the group, of course, bails on the movie, leaving Bella smack in the middle of Jake and Mike. Naturally, both of them have their hands on the armrests, palms open, practically begging for her to hold them. 🖐️🖐️ It’s like an unspoken competition for Bella’s affection, and she’s just trying to focus on the screen, pretending not to notice the passive-aggressive hand positioning happening on either side of her. 🙄🍿
Then, the real chaos begins. Mike, clearly not built for horror movies—or maybe just the love triangle tension—gets *really* sick. 🤢 Bella’s already trying to manage the awkwardness of the situation, and now she’s got a barfing Mike to deal with. They have to leave the theater *mid-movie* because Mike is about to explode! 💀
As Mike is hunched over the theater restroom toilet, Jake, sensing his big moment, decides it’s the perfect time to have a heart-to-heart with Bella. 💬 He basically tells her that he’s not giving up, and that he’ll keep trying to win her heart. And Bella’s thinking, “Really, Jake? Now? This is what we’re doing while Mike’s puking his guts out?” Talk about timing! 😂💀
Thankfully, Jake is quick on his feet and, smart guy that he is, grabs a popcorn bucket for the ride home to spare his freshly fixed rabbit from Mike’s barf. 🍿🤢 And it's a good thing, too, because Mike was definitely not done. 🛠️✨ Crisis averted—sort of. After dropping off Mike, Jake starts feeling sick too, and they assume it’s that flu that’s been making the rounds. 🤧 Bella’s thinking, “Great, now it’s my turn to feel like death,” and she’s not wrong because, that night, she catches the infamous flu as well. 🤒💤
Now here’s the part that really gets me—where the heck is Edward? 😤 This is prime boyfriend material. Your girl is passed out, feverish, and in desperate need of some TLC, and you’re just missing in action? 👀 I’m actually *pissed* about this. Edward, my guy, this is your moment! Wouldn’t Alice *see* Bella’s suffering and give you a heads-up? And you just... let her deal with the flu all alone? Not cool. Meanwhile, Ben is over here being the best boyfriend, taking care of Angela while *she’s* sick. Take notes, Edward. 😠
And don’t even get me started on Charlie. Bella said he probably went to work just to have a “free bathroom.” 🚽 Really, Charlie? Your daughter’s passed out on the bathroom floor with a fever, and all you do is leave her a glass of water before you head off to work? Sure, you put her to bed that night, but come on! If she had passed out from her fever, you’d be a strong contender for Worst Dad of the Year. 😒
A couple of days later, Bella starts feeling better and naturally, she starts calling Jake’s house to see how he’s doing. She’s been trying to get in touch with him, but he’s completely MIA. 📞 When she finally gets a hold of him, Jake drops a bombshell: “I don’t think I have the flu…” He’s all confused, not knowing exactly what’s happening to him yet. Meanwhile, Bella’s still thinking it’s just the flu, while we, the audience, are sitting here like, “Oh sweetie, if only you knew…” 😬🐺
But here’s the kicker: Edward would *totally* have lost his mind if he knew about this awkward movie date. You *know* how jealous Edward gets over Mike of all people. The fact that Bella was caught in a third-wheel situation with Mike? Edward would’ve been mentally planning how to “accidentally” leave Mike in the woods for the wolves. 😤 It still kills me how much Edward was jealous of Mike at this point. Poor Mike doesn’t stand a chance, and yet, here’s Edward, low-key (or high-key) wanting to murder him. 😂
In the end, this whole thing was a *complete* mess. Bella’s awkward love triangle movie date turned into a flu-ridden disaster. Mike’s puking, Jake’s confessing his undying love while holding a popcorn bucket, and Bella’s trying to piece it all together while dealing with the flu. And where was Edward? MIA, as usual, during the one moment where Bella actually needed him to be there. 😒
🌟🏍️ Welcome back to "Keeping Up with the Cullens," or as it’s currently known, "Keeping Up with Bella’s Adrenaline Addiction!" 😂 Today, we're diving into the wild and completely unhinged world of Bella Swan, who’s now figured out the secret recipe for her Edward hallucinations. Yep, it’s a three-ingredient combo: Adrenaline + Danger + Stupidity. And, folks, she’s whipping it up like Gordon Ramsay in a Hell’s Kitchen meltdown. 🍳🔥
So, where did we leave off? Oh, right—Bella, fresh off watching "Sam’s cult" (aka, the not-so-secret wolf squad) cliff diving like it’s no big deal, is now on her way to an abandoned road with Jake to ride motorcycles. Because why make good life choices when you can do the complete opposite? 🙄
Jake’s doing his best to be the responsible one, giving Bella clear instructions like, “Don’t let go of the clutch too fast,” “Keep your feet on the ground until you’re moving,” and the most important one: “Only use the brake on the handlebar, not the one by your feet!” 🚵♀️💨 But is Bella listening? Of course not! She’s too busy freaking out about falling to actually hear him. Instead, she’s driving like she’s in her old truck, which, let’s be honest, is about as graceful as a rhinoceros on roller skates. Watching her attempt to ride is like watching a train wreck in slow motion—you know it’s going to be bad, but you just can’t look away. 🛵😅
And let’s talk about her first day on the bike. Spoiler alert: it’s a disaster. She doesn’t just fall once—oh no, Bella goes for the full experience and wipes out twice, earning herself seven stitches! 💉😱 And because Bella’s got to keep up appearances, she heads home to change clothes before going to the hospital. Why? Because moss stains would be too much to explain to Charlie. Her genius cover story? She tripped over a hammer in Jake’s garage. Sure, Bella. Totally believable. 🙄 You might want to workshop that one next time.
But the real kicker? During her first attempt at riding, Bella cracks the code for those sweet, sweet Edward hallucinations. The moment she feels that adrenaline rush, Edward’s voice pops into her head like a ghostly DJ playing all her least favorite tracks. 🎧👻 Instead of thinking, “Maybe I should stop,” Bella’s like, “YES, this is exactly what I needed!” Because who wouldn’t want to hear their ex-boyfriend’s voice yelling at them to stop while they’re actively trying to ignore him? 🤷♀️
And what’s Edward saying? The usual: “Stop, don’t, you promised me,” “Bella, this is dangerous,” “You’re going to get yourself killed,” “Why are you doing this to yourself?” and the ever-classic, “You know this isn’t what I wanted for you.” It’s like having a disapproving parent in your head, except this parent sparkles and drinks animal blood. But does Bella listen? Absolutely not! She’s too busy getting her adrenaline fix to care. She’s actually *happy* she’s breaking her promise to Edward. That’s healthy, right? 🥴 This girl needs a therapist, not a motorcycle. 🛋️
After all the crashes, more stitches, and even more lies, Charlie’s starting to get suspicious again. And can you blame him? Bella suddenly taking up hiking is about as believable as a vampire enjoying a garlic bread buffet. 🧄😂 But of course, she can’t tell him about the motorcycles, so she’s sticking to her story. You’d think she’d come up with a better lie by now. I mean, really, Bella? Hiking? 🤦♀️ Even the ER staff is starting to look at her sideways after seeing her again in less than a week. If the real Edward knew what was going on, he’d probably have a heart attack—if vampires could have those. 😳🏥
And speaking of hiking, Bella and Jake decide to take a week off from riding motorcycles and instead take up hiking. The irony here is just *chef’s kiss*. Now, they’re out in the woods, trying to find this "beautiful meadow" Bella once saw—aka Edward’s meadow. 🌸🧠 Jake is so demented to find it, thinking it’s just a cool spot she wants to show him. Poor Jake, he’s all excited about a nice nature hike, thinking they’re just going to enjoy the great outdoors. Little does he know, Bella’s not after fresh air—she’s after ghost Edward. 🙄🌲
Jake is still being her emotional support wolf through all of this, bless his heart. 🐺💔 At least with the hiking, there’s less chance of Bella smashing into trees… for now. But if only Jake knew the real reason Bella’s so eager to find that meadow. Meanwhile, where’s Edward when Charlie and Jake could really use his help with Bella’s increasingly reckless behavior? Oh, that’s right—he’s off brooding somewhere, probably writing sad poetry in a dark corner. 📝🧛♂️
And there you have it—Bella Swan, queen of reckless behavior, is officially off the rails. The girl’s got a recipe for danger and she’s not afraid to use it. Now she’s roped Jake into her wild schemes, and honestly, I’m here for the drama. Stay tuned to see what other wild and questionable decisions Bella makes next! 🚀😅
🌟🐺 Welcome back to "Keeping Up with the Cullens," or should I say, "Keeping Up with Bella and Her Emotional Support Wolf"! 😂🐺 Yep, you read that right. Today, we’re diving into the wild, somewhat questionable choices of Bella Swan as she navigates life post-Edward. And by "navigates," I mean she's pretty much using poor Jacob Black as her personal emotional support wolf. The twist? Jake doesn’t even know he’s a shapeshifter yet! Talk about a surprise coming-of-age moment. 🐺😅
So here’s the tea: Bella, still reeling from the "OMG my vampire boyfriend dumped me" blues, somehow convinces herself that hanging out with a 16-year-old kid is the solution to all her problems. Never mind the fact that she's 18 and technically supposed to be the "responsible" one. 🙄 Instead, Bella’s like, "Hey, Jake! Wanna fix these death traps—oops, I mean, motorcycles—with me?" 😏 And Jacob, being the sweet, puppy-eyed guy he is, is all in, thinking he’s just helping his crush out with a cool project. 🚲💥 It’s like Bella’s version of therapy, except instead of a licensed professional, she’s got a lovestruck teenager with a toolbox. 🧰❤️
Now, let’s pause for a second. What would Charlie (or Edward, if he wasn’t off in vampire brooding land) think about Bella suddenly getting into motorcycles? 🚔😱 They’d freak out! But Bella? She doesn’t care. She’s like, "Rules? Who needs them?" And there she goes, dragging poor Jake into her rebellion. It's almost like she’s using Jake as a stand-in for her lost thrill-seeking with Edward. I mean, nothing screams "I’m okay, really" like convincing a kid to fix motorcycles you know your dad would lose his mind over. 😂🤦♀️
As soon as Bella starts hanging out with Jake, it’s like magic—she unzombifies! 🧟♀️✨ Suddenly, she’s reacting to life again, as if the fog has lifted and she remembers how to smile. It’s like she’s got her own personal mood ring, and Jake is permanently stuck on "happy." 😄 Charlie’s delighted to see Bella living life again, but if he knew what was actually going on… yikes! 😬 Meanwhile, Mike and Angela are all like, "OMG, Bella’s back!" 😃🎉 But Jessica and Lauren? They’re just annoyed, probably thinking, "Great, now we have to deal with this again." 🙄 Seriously, it’s like watching someone who’s been in a coma wake up and immediately decide to run a marathon. 🏃♀️
But here’s where it gets even more ridiculous. Bella’s not just hanging with Jake for the company. Oh no, she’s using him as a human (or should I say wolf?) bandaid for her shattered heart. 💔🐺 Poor Jake doesn’t even realize he’s being friend-zoned harder than anyone in the history of crushes. 😩💔 He’s just trying to be a good friend, and Bella’s like, "Yeah, yeah, that’s nice. Now, fix this motorcycle so I can break my promise to him." 🚲💨 At least they decide to do homework together twice a week—of course, because they still have to pretend to be normal teens, right? 😂📚 Nothing says "teenage rebellion" like calculus homework after a day of fixing motorcycles. 📝🏍️
And just when you think Bella might be turning a corner—BOOM! 💥 She sees "Sam’s cult" jumping off cliffs and immediately thinks, "OMG, someone call an ambulance!" 🚑 But Jake’s all chill, explaining that it’s just cliff diving for fun. And Bella? Of course, she wants to try it! Because why not? What could go wrong with adding "potentially fatal leaps off cliffs" to her growing list of questionable life choices? 😂🤦♀️ Honestly, this girl definitely needs professional help. 🛋️ Maybe she’s got a bucket list we don’t know about that just says "Give Charlie a heart attack" in bold letters. 😂📋
Even though Jacob’s magically helping her reconnect with life, Bella’s still having nightmares. 🌙😱 She wakes up screaming almost every night, missing her sleep bodyguard. Maybe she should ask Jake to sleep over since Edward isn’t around to protect her dreams. I mean, what could be more comforting than having your emotional support wolf on standby? 🐺😴 But honestly, can you imagine Jake’s face if Bella did ask him to sleep over? He’d probably turn into a wolf just out of sheer awkwardness! 😂
Jake, bless his heart, has no idea what he’s in for. He’s just trying to help his friend, but little does he know, he’s being used as a one-stop-shop for all of Bella’s mental health needs. 😳 And the worst part? He’s not even aware that he’s about to become a literal wolf, which is a whole other can of supernatural drama that’s just waiting to explode. 🐺💥 It’s like he signed up to be in a buddy comedy and accidentally walked into a horror movie instead. 🎬😱
It’s like Bella’s got her own personal therapy wolf, except she’s not exactly paying him in kibble or belly rubs. Instead, she’s paying him in emotional whiplash and unintentional manipulation. Seriously, Bella, maybe a shrink would have been a better idea? 🛋️😅
So, what’s next for Bella? More reckless behavior? More using Jake for his fixing skills and emotional support? Probably. Let’s just hope she doesn’t drag him into something even crazier—though with Bella, that’s almost a guarantee. Stay tuned for more wild antics from Forks’ most melodramatic human! 😂🌲
🌟🍟 Welcome back to “Keeping Up with the Cullens,” where today we’re diving into one of the most unhinged moments in Bella Swan’s post-Edward-breakup life. Picture this: it’s been a few months since Edward Cullen ghosted out of Bella’s life (literally), and our girl is just trying to survive in Forks, living life on cruise control. You know, the usual post-vampire-breakup blues. 💔😩
But things take a wild turn during what should have been a totally normal trip to Port Angeles with Jessica. They’re just out for a girl’s night, planning to grab some McDonald’s fries and chat about anything but sparkly vampires. 🍔🍟 As they’re walking, Bella spots some guys outside of a bar, and suddenly, she hears Edward’s voice in her head. Yes, you read that right—Edward’s voice, the same guy who ditched her in the woods, is now haunting her like some sort of ghostly boyfriend hallucination. 👻🧛♂️
Now, instead of being rational and heading to McDonald’s for a Big Mac therapy session, Bella decides to approach these sketchy dudes. Edward’s voice (or her imagination, honestly, who knows at this point?) is all, “Bella, don’t do it,” like he’s some kind of moral GPS. 🚫🔊 And what does Bella do? She walks right up to them, like, “Let’s see where this goes.” Because nothing says “I’m fine” like ignoring your ghost-ex’s advice and heading straight into trouble! 🙃💀
Jessica, meanwhile, is losing her mind, probably wondering if Bella has completely lost it—or if she’s about to get them both killed. Honestly, Jessica’s patience deserves a medal at this point. 🏅 Bella, however, is living for the adrenaline rush, the only thing that seems to make her feel anything these days. She’s basically like, “Edward ditched me? Fine. I’m gonna go find some danger and see if his voice will pop up again!” And it does, because why not? 😅👀
So, let’s fast forward to the next day. Bella, who’s now apparently decided that reckless behavior is the new therapy, goes out and buys some motorcycles. 🏍️ Yes, you heard me—motorcycles. The girl who can barely stay on her feet without tripping over thin air is now a proud owner of not one, but two motorcycles. And why? Because Edward broke his promise to stay forever, so naturally, she’s going to break her promise not to do anything reckless. 🙄🛵
Is this payback or just plain insanity? Let’s be real—it’s probably a mix of both. 🌀💥 Bella’s reasoning is like, “If Edward’s gonna ditch me, I’m gonna go full daredevil and see how he likes that!” Honestly, it’s like she’s trying to out-crazy his vampire melodrama with her own brand of human recklessness. 🤪💣
But let’s take a moment to consider Charlie, Bella’s poor dad, who’s just trying to keep his daughter from losing it completely. He’s already suggested she see a shrink because, I mean, who wouldn’t after the whole woods breakdown? But can you imagine if he knew about the Edward hallucinations? 😱 He’d probably drive her to therapy himself, no questions asked! “Bella, honey, we need to talk about these ‘voices’ you’re hearing…” 🛋️👨⚕️
So, here we are—Bella’s hearing voices, buying motorcycles, and spiraling into what can only be described as post-breakup madness. And all because her sparkly ex ditched her for her “own good.” Is this girl in need of help, or is she just finding the most creative way to deal with heartbreak ever? Honestly, it’s probably a bit of both. 🥴💔
Stay tuned for more of Bella’s wild ride through heartbreak and healing—who knows what she’ll do next! 🤷♀️🚀
🌟🎬 Welcome back to the season premiere of *Keeping Up with the Cullens*! Grab your popcorn, folks, because we’re diving headfirst into the most dramatic vampire breakup saga of all time! 🧛♂️💔 If you thought last season was intense, just wait until you see what we’ve got in store for you this time around. Seriously, why does Edward Cullen make everything ten times more dramatic than it needs to be? I’m talking Oscar-worthy levels of angst and brooding. 🎭🌧️
So, let’s rewind a bit to that so-called “perfect summer” that Bella casually mentions. 🌞 Apparently, she and Edward had the most flawless summer together, but of course, she doesn’t give us any details. Typical, right? 🙄 What does “perfect” even mean when you’re dating a sparkly vampire? Did they go for strolls through the mall holding hands, stop by McDonald’s for some fries (though Edward probably just watched Bella eat), or spend their days trying out human couple things like cooking? 🍟👩🍳 Can you imagine Edward learning how to cook by using math and vampire precision, measuring out every ingredient to perfection, only to stand there awkwardly as Bella devours the meal? Or maybe they just hung out in her room, where Bella did all the talking while Edward stared at her like she was the most fascinating creature on Earth—which, to be fair, she is to him. Meanwhile, Edward’s POV would have given us every drop of angst, guilt, love, and torment. Come on, Bella, spill the tea! ☕ We need the juicy details!
And just when you thought things couldn’t get any sweeter, there’s that moment earlier in the day when Edward and Bella are cuddling on the couch, watching the classic 1968 version of *Romeo and Juliet*. 🎥💕 Edward, ever the romantic, whispers Romeo’s lines to Bella, delivering the kind of cheesy, swoon-worthy moment you’d expect from a vampire who’s had centuries to perfect his game. But let’s be real—this moment is all kinds of bittersweet because we know what’s coming next. 😢 It’s like the calm before the emotional storm that’s about to tear Bella’s world apart. 🌩️💔
Now, fast forward to *that* birthday party incident. You know, the one where Jasper nearly turns Bella into a midnight snack. 🍴😱 Seriously, Jazz, what gives? You just spent an entire trip to Phoenix in close quarters with her, chilling in a hotel room like it’s no big deal, but now you’re all, “Better keep away from Bella, she smells too much like human.” Come on, Jazz, what’s the deal? 🙄
After the party disaster, Edward does stay the night with Bella on her birthday, and I have to admit, it’s one of the sweetest moments in *New Moon* (so far). 🥺 He probably didn’t want to ruin her birthday even more, and honestly, it’s a considerate move for someone about to drop a breakup bomb. Imagine, “Happy Birthday, Bella! Oh, by the way, I’m about to break your heart.” Not exactly the best birthday gift, right? 🎁💔 He stays, holding her close, whispering sweet nothings to make sure she drifts off to sleep in peace. It’s a brief moment of tenderness before everything goes south, and it’s moments like these that make you understand why Bella’s so obsessed with him. He stays by her side, making sure her birthday night is as perfect as possible despite everything that went down earlier. It’s heartbreaking to think about him knowing what he’s about to do, yet still trying to give Bella this one last happy memory. 😢
But then, why does he stick around for three whole days after the party, basically giving Bella the cold shoulder? Like, Edward, if you’re planning to ghost her (literally), why are you hanging around, watching ESPN with Charlie? 🏈📺 I get that Edward is waiting for a sign to leave, but three days of awkward silence? What kind of sign was he waiting for—an ESPN ticker reading, "Hey Edward, time to peace out"? 🕒💤 Or was he hoping Bella would break up with him if he ignored her enough? I mean, Bella already knows something’s off, so why drag it out? It’s like he’s torturing himself with the idea of leaving, and honestly, it’s kind of frustrating to watch. I mean, if you’re going to leave, just rip off the Band-Aid, Edward! 😩
And for the love of all things sparkly, why does he choose to break up with her in the woods? 🌲😭 Really, Edward? The woods? It’s like he Googled, “Most depressing breakup locations,” and the woods popped up as #1. Sure, he left her on the path by her house, but still, it’s the woods! What’s next, breaking up with her during a thunderstorm while sad piano music plays in the background? 🎹⛈️ Oh wait, that actually happened… 😅
Honestly, there’s something so obvious missing here that it’s driving me crazy, and I just can’t put my finger on it. Why the woods? It’s right there, but I can’t quite figure it out. If anyone knows what I’m missing, please enlighten me because there’s a piece of this melodramatic puzzle that I’m just not seeing. 🔍🧩
So, as we kick off this new season of *Keeping Up with the Cullens*, we’ve got a lot of questions and not enough answers. Edward’s dramatic exit, Jasper’s sudden distance, and that perfect summer that apparently wasn’t detailed enough to warrant more than a passing mention—this is going to be one wild ride! 🎢 I’m excited (and a little nervous) to dive into the rest of *New Moon* now that I’ve had my fill of Edward’s drama. 🌒💥
🌟🚗 Welcome back to “Keeping Up with the Cullens”! Today, we’re diving into one of the wildest, most unhinged moments from Edward Cullen’s Vampire Road Rage Extravaganza. I know I talked about this before, but seriously, it’s so out-of-control that it deserves its own post. If you thought your morning commute was stressful, just wait until you hear about the Cullen family’s high-speed race through Phoenix, where everything that could go wrong does—and then some. 🏎️💨
Here’s the basics: Edward’s in full-on panic mode, driving like he’s in the final lap of the Daytona 500 because Bella’s life is hanging by a thread. 🧛♂️💔 Alice is in the passenger seat, casually dropping visions about all the ways this could go horribly wrong, but don’t worry, she’s cool as a cucumber. Meanwhile, Jasper is trying his best to calm Edward’s nerves with his mood-manipulating powers, but it’s like trying to soothe a tornado. 🌪️😱
In the backseat, we’ve got Emmett and Jasper acting as rearview mirrors because Edward decided to rip the actual mirrors off the car in a fit of vampire frustration. They’re ready to pounce on anything that gets in their way—or just keep an eye out for the inevitable pile-up they’re about to cause. 🚗💥 Carlisle, usually the calm and collected doctor, is in on the chaos too. He ends up “drugging” a woman on the road because, surprise, they have to steal yet another car—this time hers. 🩺💉
Oh, and let’s not forget the 10-car pileup they cause along the way, but don’t worry, Alice assures everyone that there are no fatalities, so it’s all good! Just your average day in the life of a vampire family on a mission, right? 🚨😅
I’ve seen people on YouTube trying to describe this madness, but no one can quite capture just how chaotic and over-the-top it really is. If you want to truly experience the intensity and absurdity of it all, you’ve got to listen to the audiobook. Jake Abel, who narrates Midnight Sun, absolutely nails Edward’s freak-out. You’ll feel like you’re in the car with them, holding on for dear life. 🎧😂
I’m sad, but I’m also excited to re-read New Moon now that I know how much Edward hates lying to Bella and how hard it was for him to leave. Seriously, the whole thing makes me want to cry just thinking about these hospital scenes. 😭💔 So watch out for my first post on New Moon—there’s so much more to dive into!
🌟🚗 Welcome back to “Keeping Up with the Cullens”! Today, I’m hitting rewind on the story to focus on one of the most intense parts of the saga: when Bella and Edward have to lead James away from Charlie. But I’m not just talking about the plot—I’m here to praise the *Midnight Sun* audiobook and compare it to both *Twilight* and the *Twilight* audiobook, especially when it comes to those gut-wrenching “Goodbyes” chapters. Trust me, if you haven’t listened to these audiobooks yet, you’re missing out on some serious emotional roller coasters! 🎧🧛♂️
As you know, I loved *Twilight* years ago. 🥰 Honestly, now I’m into books like *Outlander* (Jamie Fraser, anyone? 😏), but I thought revisiting the *Twilight Saga* as an adult would be fun—making fun of my old crush, Edward, from my early 20s. 😂 But here I am, deep-diving into *Midnight Sun* and the audiobooks, and I can’t believe how much I’m analyzing (and still making fun of) this series! Who knew sparkly vampires could still capture my attention? 🧛♂️✨
Let’s talk about that “Goodbyes” chapter in *Twilight*. You’d think a scene where Bella is forced to lie to Charlie, leave him behind, and run for her life would be dripping with emotion, right? Well, not so much in the audiobook. 😬 Don’t get me wrong—no offense to the narrator, Ilyana Kadushin, but her reading of that chapter left me feeling a little... underwhelmed. 😐 It was like listening to someone reading a grocery list rather than a life-or-death situation. Maybe it was the director's choice, but either way, the emotion just wasn’t there. I mean, Bella is supposed to be terrified, desperate, and heartbroken, but the delivery was flat. You need to feel the tension, the fear, the urgency—and, unfortunately, it didn’t quite hit the mark for me. 😕📖 It’s like Bella was reading her breakup lines off a cue card. You’d expect more drama from someone who’s about to fake-break her dad’s heart and then flee from a murderous vampire! 🥀
But OMG, let me tell you—*Midnight Sun*’s audiobook is a game-changer. 🙌 Jake Abel, who narrates *Midnight Sun*, absolutely nails it. He reads Bella’s part with so much emotion that it’s like you’re hearing her cry and yell in real-time. And honestly, that chapter needed it! 😭 The way he brings Bella’s terror and heartbreak to life is so intense that it’s impossible not to feel it. The difference is night and day. While *Twilight*’s audiobook felt like a distant memory, *Midnight Sun* pulled me right back into the chaos and desperation of that moment. It’s the perfect example of how a great narrator can completely change the experience of a book. 🎧💥 Jake Abel made me feel like I was in the room with Bella, crying and panicking, and it was everything I didn’t know I needed! 😅
But it doesn’t stop there. Throughout the entire *Midnight Sun* audiobook, Jake Abel is fantastic at switching tones and voices for the different characters. His Edward is spot-on—full of angst, confusion, and that deep, obsessive love that we all secretly swooned over back in the day. 💔 He really brought Book Edward to life in a way that makes you understand his internal struggles on a whole new level. It’s like hearing Edward’s voice in your head, and suddenly, all those dramatic monologues make perfect sense. Jake’s performance is so good that it might just make you fall for Edward all over again. 😅❤️ It’s like he’s channeling Edward’s inner drama queen with every word—seriously, I had flashbacks to all the times I swooned over this sparkly vampire back in the day! 😂✨
I mean, let’s be real—Rob Pattinson is the perfect Movie Edward, no doubt. 🖤 But when it comes to the book version of Edward, Jake Abel takes the crown. 👑 His narration is everything I didn’t know I needed from *Midnight Sun*. He captures Edward’s torment, his love for Bella, and his struggle with his vampire nature in such a compelling way that it’s hard not to get swept up in it all over again. Rob and Jake together would be like the ultimate Edward dream team! 😍 Imagine Rob’s smoldering looks paired with Jake’s emotional voice acting—my heart wouldn’t survive! 😵💖
So, if you’re looking for a way to experience *Midnight Sun* on a whole new level, I highly recommend the audiobook. 🎧 And if you’ve already read *Twilight* and felt like something was missing, give *Midnight Sun* a listen—you might just find that the story hits a little harder when you can hear Edward’s pain, fear, and love in every word. 🔥 Trust me, it’s worth the emotional rollercoaster—stock up on tissues and get ready to feel all the feels! 😭🎢
I might write one more post about *Midnight Sun*—specifically that insane car chase—before I move on to *New Moon*. 🚗💨 Seriously, the way Edward steals a car like he’s auditioning for *Fast & Furious*—it’s almost too much! It’s just so over-the-top dramatic that I can’t not talk about it. There’s just so much more to discuss! 📚 Until then, keep your eyes peeled for more deep dives into the world of sparkly vampires, teenage drama, and all the things that made us fall in love with this saga in the first place. 💫✨
🌟🚗 Welcome back to “Keeping Up with the Cullens”! I never thought I’d say this, but Midnight Sun actually got… good? Yes, you read that right! After trudging through Edward’s endless brooding and inner turmoil, the book finally delivered moments so intense and relatable that I had to pause and really take them in. These chapters are a must-discuss because they shed new light on Edward’s character, and trust me, it’s a perspective I haven’t seen explored enough! 🧛♂️💋 Honestly, I love it because it shows that even sparkly vampires can have teenage meltdowns. 😂✨
Let’s kick things off with the most ridiculous, over-the-top car chase in vampire history. Edward, in full-blown panic mode, doesn’t just drive fast—he goes full-on action hero by stealing a flashy car to speed across town and save Bella from James! 🚗💥 I mean, who knew Edward had a secret need for speed? It’s like he’s suddenly in a vampire version of Fast & Furious, but with a lot more angst and existential dread. You can almost hear him muttering, “Outta the way, mere mortals!” as he zooms through traffic like a bat out of hell. 😂 Seriously, this whole scene is so over-the-top that you can’t help but laugh and cheer him on. Edward’s driving is described as borderline suicidal—he’s pushing the car to its limits, and you can feel his sheer desperation with every reckless turn. He’s absolutely terrified he won’t reach Bella in time, and it’s honestly like watching someone try to beat their own high score in a racing game, except the stakes are a million times higher. 🏎️💨
But after the car chase, the story takes a much more gut-wrenching turn when Edward arrives at the hospital. For once, Edward is acting like a normal, concerned boyfriend, and it’s both shocking and refreshing. Charlie’s not there to help with Renée—he’s stuck dealing with a court appearance, which totally sucks but also makes sense. So, Edward steps up, making sure Renée has everything she needs and is comfortable, just like any boyfriend would. It’s kind of surreal to see him in this role, especially after all the dramatic vampire stuff. He’s navigating Renée’s thoughts, which are practically screaming at him, but he still manages to keep it together. Renée, of course, is immediately suspicious of this perfect, polished young man who seems too good to be true. Edward can barely keep his anxiety in check as he tries to maintain a calm exterior while internally, he’s a wreck. 😅💖
And then there’s the chapel scene. Edward, our brooding, angst-filled vampire, actually prays. 🙏 Yep, he’s praying to Bella’s God for the strength to leave her because he’s convinced that staying with her is too dangerous. “I prayed to a God I wasn’t sure existed, to the God of her people, that he might give me the strength to leave her.” This moment is so gut-wrenching because it shows just how much Edward is willing to sacrifice for Bella. He’s not just some cold, immortal being; he’s deeply conflicted and desperate. You can feel his pain as he contemplates a future without Bella, even though it’s the last thing he wants. 😩💔 This prayer scene is significant because it humanizes Edward in a way we haven’t seen before. He’s acknowledging that he’s out of his depth, that he needs help from a higher power to do what he believes is right. It’s a raw, vulnerable moment that makes his internal struggle so much more real. It’s one of those moments where you realize just how deeply he loves her, and it honestly makes the eventual breakup even more heartbreaking. 💔😭
I seriously teared up. 😢 I’m not very religious, and most people would be shocked I even pray when I need strength, but Edward praying and then lying to Bella is my absolute favorite part because it’s the most human thing. After seeing Bella’s anxiety in the hospital, Edward decides that this isn’t the time to leave her. He knows she needs him right now, and he even lies about staying with her forever because he can’t bear to tell her the truth. “I couldn’t tell her that I wouldn’t stay. I couldn’t tell her that I didn’t have forever to give. But I had to let her believe it, because the truth would destroy her right now.” This is gut-wrenching because Edward is trapped in his own emotional turmoil. He absolutely hates lying to her—seriously, I don’t know how he’s doing it. 🤯 The fact that he’s staying while she recovers, knowing he’s going to leave, is just heartbreaking, especially since he’s seen Alice’s vision of Bella being comatose and depressed after he’s gone. I wanna cry just thinking about these hospital scenes. 😭💔💔
Their conversation in the hospital is filled with so much tension and love that it’s almost unbearable. Bella, still weak and in pain, tries to comfort Edward, who is wracked with guilt. “Don’t I taste as good as I smell?” Bella tries to lighten the mood with a joke, but Edward can’t even play along. His love for her is so intense that he can barely contain his emotions. When Bella asks him why he didn’t just let the venom spread, Edward’s response is heartbreaking: “I can’t do it, Bella. I won’t do that to you.” 💔💬 You can feel the struggle in every word he says—he wants to give her everything, but he’s terrified of what that would mean. It’s in these moments that Edward’s true nature shines through; he’s not just a vampire, but a man deeply in love and profoundly conflicted about what that love means for Bella’s future. 😢💔
And let’s not forget the little moments of humor sprinkled in. When Edward is pushing Bella in a wheelchair, he actually growls at people who stare at her too long. “A low, warning growl slipped through my lips when anyone looked too long at her fragile form.” 🦁 It’s such an overprotective boyfriend move, but you can’t help but smile because it shows just how fiercely he cares for her. Edward’s protective instincts are in overdrive, and while he’s usually so controlled, the thought of anyone causing Bella discomfort sends him into a near-animalistic rage. It’s almost like he’s a regular guy, freaking out because his girlfriend is hurt, and he doesn’t want anyone making her feel worse. 😂💪
The prom scene is another bittersweet moment. 💃🕺 Edward takes Bella to prom, not because he’s into it, but because he wants to give her a good memory—something she can hold onto when he’s gone. “I wanted to give her something to remember me by—something she could hold onto when I was gone.” 🥲 This is so sad because Edward is already planning his departure, even as he’s trying to make Bella happy in the moment. It’s that classic vampire dilemma—how do you balance your love for someone with the knowledge that your very existence puts them in danger? The prom, with its lights, music, and human warmth, contrasts sharply with Edward’s cold, calculating decision to leave. He’s trying to give Bella a piece of normalcy, something she can look back on fondly, even though he knows it will only make his departure that much more painful for her. 🥺💃
Finishing Midnight Sun has left me with so many emotions. 😵 Just when the book finally started diving into the parts of the story I was most curious about—Edward’s POV during these critical moments—it ended, leaving me craving more. Meyer did a fantastic job of humanizing Edward in these final chapters, showing us that even a century-old vampire can have teenage meltdowns, moments of doubt, and flashes of humor. 🧛♂️✨ I have so much more to say about these chapters, but I’ll save that for another post… or maybe two. Stay tuned for more deep dives into Edward’s surprisingly human moments and all the drama that comes with being a sparkly vampire in love. 💔✨
🌟🚗 Welcome back to “Keeping Up with the Cullens,” where today we’re diving deep into the infamous make-out session by Emmett’s Jeep, Edward’s epic self-dazzle moment, and his surprisingly human behavior—probably for the first time in a century! Trust me, this is a scene worth talking about that I haven’t seen anyone doing! 🧛♂️💋 Honestly, I love it because it shows that even sparkly vampires can have teenage meltdowns. 😂✨
We’re all used to seeing kisses from Bella’s perspective, but viewing this particular kiss through Edward’s eyes is like watching a teen romance collide with a vampire action flick. 🎥💕 Edward’s inner monologue is hilarious. He’s trying to play it smooth, whispering sweet nothings and kissing Bella’s collarbone like he’s the star of a Nicholas Sparks novel. 📖💞 But when their lips finally meet, it’s a full-blown hormonal teenage frenzy. 🚀 His brain goes from “I must protect her” to “OMG KISS HER MORE” in seconds. It’s like The Bodyguard with vampires, with 100% more sparkling angst. 🎶💔
His past monologues were so packed with vampire angst, but now his monologues are getting more sappy all the time. 💔 This time, though, it’s all about his genuine teenage boy feelings, like wanting skin-to-skin contact and all that jazz. “The craving for more, for skin against skin, was a constant temptation, a reminder of what I could never fully have.” Edward, welcome to the human experience! It’s messy, but hey, at least you’re acting like a regular teenage guy now! 🙃🎥 You might want to start a vlog: “Teen Vampire Diaries: The Struggles of Dating a Fragile Human.” 🙃🎥
Speaking of hormones, it makes me wonder if Carlisle or Esme ever gave him “the birds and bees” talk because he definitely needs one now. 🐦🐝 Oh, wait, he’s probably taken health class 100 times by now, so why is he so surprised by his own hormones? Maybe he skips class to hunt on those particular days. 🏹 But doesn’t he have tons of medical degrees like his dad? Carlisle, please talk to your son before he knocks Bella up… wait… he does just that the following August. Dude, protection! I guess he’s a typical guy leaving that duty up to us girls. Looks like even vampires aren’t immune to the classic teenage pregnancy trope! 🍼😅👶
So, here’s the scoop: Edward decides it’s time to up his game and kiss Bella by Emmett’s Jeep. 🚗💋 But this isn’t just any kiss—it’s a carefully planned move to distract Bella from her reluctance to run with him to the baseball field. As they park by Emmett’s Jeep, Edward plots his dazzling move. ✨ Bella’s all nervous about running, hitting trees, and getting sick, and Edward’s like, “Let me dazzle that fear away!” 🌟 Edward, your strategies might be questionable, but your kissing tactics? Surprisingly on point! 💋👏
During this epic make-out moment, Edward’s internal monologue is pure comedy gold. 😂 He’s having a “self-dazzle” moment—yes, folks, he manages to dazzle himself, if you catch my drift! 😂 It would be like a teenager watching Blue Lagoon for the first time. Here’s the moment: “This new fire—a fire without pain, that ravaged only my ability to think—raged even hotter when her arms wrapped tightly around my neck and her body bowed into mine. Her heat and her pulse were fused against my own form from chest to thigh. I was drowning in sensation.” 🔥💫 His “self-dazzle” moment is like that time Clark Kent discovered his heat vision in health class by staring at his substitute teacher. You know, just a regular day for a teenage superhero trying to control his powers—kind of like Edward navigating the choppy waters of teenage vampire romance. 😳🔥
This kiss is so intense that Mr. I-Have-Ice-In-My-Veins lets his inner teenage boy loose: “The kiss was soft at first, a gentle brush of lips that quickly turned into something more. I wanted her to remember this feeling more than anything else.” Suddenly, Edward realizes, “In that moment, I was more aware of my nature than ever, the fine line I walked between passion and danger.” It’s like watching a vampire having an existential crisis mid-kiss. 😂💎
And just like that, Edward tries to handle this like a cool, collected vampire, leaning in and using his super-vampire powers to make Bella forget how to breathe, only to end up being the one caught off guard! 🤯 It’s as if he forgot for a moment that he’s not just a lovestruck teen but also a supernatural creature with the strength to crush his first girlfriend with a hug. 💪 Yes, they’re officially boyfriend and girlfriend now—they even told Charlie. You can imagine his relief that Edward isn’t just another mystery guy creeping around Bella with a sparkly secret. Right now, Charlie is probably singing “Cleaning This Gun” by Rodney Atkins while polishing his rifle, just a classic dad move to keep the sparkly teenage vampires in line. 😅🔫
Caught up in the kiss, Edward has to remind himself of the supernatural strength he’s using, realizing he must back off before things get too heated, like when someone speeds up during a yellow light and suddenly has to deal with the consequences. 🚦 He pulls away just in time, only to be slapped with a dose of reality: “Damn it, Bella, you’ll be the death of me!” Edward, you might want to ease up on the drama. This isn’t a soap opera—oh wait, it kind of is. 🤦♂️📺
But wait, that’s not the end of Edward coming off as a regular teenager. 🧛♂️ As the two run to the game, Bella, in true Bella fashion, ends up awkwardly sprawled on the ground, getting off Edward’s back. 🏃♀️ Her look of indignation has Edward in stitches, releasing the tension with laughter. 😂 As she tries to brush off the mud, Edward can’t help but laugh harder, snapping out of his own self-doubt and amusement again, just like a normal teenage boyfriend. Seriously, how many times will Bella fall off his back? If this keeps up, Edward might need to get her a helmet. 😆🪖
As they attempt to make their way to the game, Bella confidently marches off like she’s heading off to find Narnia without a map, only to end up facing the wrong direction. “Where are you going, Bella?” he chuckles, catching her by the waist. Pro tip: always let the vampire be your GPS. 🧭 Bella, convinced that Edward was mad earlier, isn’t amused by his laughter. Her eyes narrow into a glare that could melt vampire ice, arms crossed like Lucy ready to deliver one of her famous zingers. ❄️🧊 “Oh, so now it’s funny, huh? You’re the only one who gets to be mad?” she snaps, with all the indignation of someone who’s just discovered their significant other ate the last slice of pizza. 🍕 Edward, still chuckling, tries to explain, “No, no, I wasn’t mad at you, Bella! You just should have seen your face!” Bella rolls her eyes, throwing back his earlier dramatic line, “You’ll be the death of me, I swear.” 😂 It’s a classic I Love Lucy moment, with Bella playing the exasperated Lucy to Edward’s Ricky as they bicker and reconcile with a laugh. ❤️🧛♀️
As Bella regains her composure, Edward pulls her closer for the sitcom-style heartfelt moment. “I love you,” he confesses, “It’s a poor excuse for what I’m doing, but it’s still true.” Their brief, restrained kiss seals the deal, as Bella’s warmth and Edward’s protective instincts shine through the chaos of teenage emotions and vampire instincts. 💏💕
Finally, they head toward the clearing, where Edward tries to focus on the upcoming baseball game and not his body’s recent betrayal. Just another day in the life of a hundred-year-old teenage vampire, right? 🧛♂️⚾ Maybe next time, Edward, try dazzling yourself in your room before you go and make out with Bella. You know, a little practice session like an awkward teenager prepping for prom night, just without the pie. Okay, Edward? 🥧😜✨
This episode of “Keeping Up with the Cullens” is brought to you by Edward’s accidental self-dazzle and the eternal struggle to balance teenage hormones with vampire instincts. Stay tuned for more drama, passion, and hilarious supernatural mishaps! 😅🎬
🌙✨ Welcome to another episode of "Keeping Up with the Cullens," where things are sweet, creepy, and a whole lot of WTF. 🧛♂️
So, Bella meets Edward's family, and honestly, it’s always been the sweetest part of the saga. The Cullens are like a vampire version of *Full House*. 🏡🧛♂️ But let's talk about Bella saying "I love you" in her sleep the night before. You just started officially dating, and you’re dropping the L-bomb already? Girl, are you okay? Bella's skipping straight to the ending of a Nicholas Sparks movie! 🎬💖 This is moving faster than a vampire on Red Bull! 🏃♂️💨
At his house, Edward plays the piano, performing a song he wrote just for her. 🎹🎶 Bella is so moved she tears up, and you’d think Edward would just hold her like a normal boyfriend, right? Nope. He wipes her eyes and then does something bizarre: he swallows her tear. Uh, what? That’s not romantic; that’s just creepy. 😳💧 He says it’ll always be in him—seriously, WTF, Edward? This might be creepier than the whole stalking thing. It’s like *Dracula* meets *Fear Factor*. 🧛♂️😬 What’s next, keeping a scrapbook of her discarded tissues? Edward’s got this "I’m so deep, I even drink her tears" vibe that’s crossing all kinds of lines. 🤨📚
But I’d like to truly praise *Midnight Sun* for the depth and reactions between the Cullens. No matter how much this book is WTF, it does one thing right—it makes them fleshed out. 👨👩👦 I’m finally really getting to know them. Carlisle is especially great because he’s truly a father, not just the head of a coven. 🏡❤️ He’s basically the vampire version of Danny Tanner. 🧛♂️🧹
Meeting the Cullens was fun, but I can’t wait to get back to the WTF moments. Stay tuned for more vampire melodrama and sparkly chaos as we continue this glittery journey. ✨💫 I half expect Edward to start analyzing the salt ratio in her tear like it's CSI: Twilight. 🌟🔍
🎬✨ Welcome back to "Keeping Up with the Cullens," where this week's drama revolves around... a khaki skirt? Seriously, guys, I just found out about this whole debate, and I'm not laughing. I'm fed up! 😡
Bella's gearing up to meet Edward's family, and she chooses an outfit that somehow sparked an entire fan debate. I mean, come on, folks, it's not that deep! Even without knowing Edward's point of view from "Midnight Sun," it was pretty clear to me. In relationships, we often wear things our partners like. I know I do! 👗❤️
Edward has already commented on Bella's blue shirt before, saying he likes it. It’s mentioned right there in the "Twilight" text! In "Midnight Sun," we find out he’s captivated by how the color complements her skin tone. 😍 So, Bella decides to pair it with a skirt because, duh, meeting your boyfriend’s vampire family is a special occasion. 🧛♂️🎉
And yet, some fans have gone off the rails, debating whether Bella's khaki skirt was a nod to Stephenie Meyer’s religious background. 🤯 Seriously? We’re diving into fashion conspiracy theories now? 🤦♀️ Some thought Bella’s fashion choice was influenced by Meyer’s membership in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, where modesty is a value. But really, it’s a skirt, not a manifesto. ✋ Let’s not overthink this. It’s a practical choice, not a religious statement! 🙄
Let’s set the record straight. Bella mentions this is the only skirt she owns, and it’s from thrift shopping. 🛍️ Why? Because our girl Bella is tomboyish, not a fashionista. Her closet is more “comfortable tomboy” than “modest chic.” She’s not making a statement; she’s just meeting the parents! 👖 She probably didn’t care about the style as long as it ticked the “decent” box. Seriously, can we let Bella live? 🙌
Bella probably needed a skirt for a special occasion like this. As a tomboy myself, I only own a few dress-up and professional outfits. Has anyone thought of this... what if she needed it for Renée's wedding to Phil? Renée's not that fancy, but... 🤔
This has nothing to do with Stephenie Meyer’s religion or any hidden messages. Bella doesn’t even specify the skirt’s length, and Stephenie didn’t even realize the skirt caused so much controversy because, for her, it was always about the shirt! 🧥✨ Thank goodness "Midnight Sun" clears this up. 🙏 It's such a non-issue. Sorry for dumping on fans, but let's move on to more pressing debates—like why does Edward need math to learn how to cook? 🤔 Is he solving calculus problems to boil water? 🍲 Come on, people, let's focus on the real mysteries here! 😂📐🥘
🌙✨ Buckle up for another hilarious episode of “Keeping Up with the Cullens.” This time, Edward’s musical choices, stalker tendencies, and math obsession take center stage. 🧛♂️🚗
So, on the drive home, Edward decides to serenade Bella with “Pledging My Love” by Johnny Ace. Seriously, Edward, out of all the songs from the 50s, why that one? Ever heard of rock and roll? 🤷♂️ I had to YouTube it, and I burst out laughing. This is not a song a teenage vampire would listen to. What’s next, Edward? Singing “Macarena” at prom? 🙄🎤
A few minutes later, in the kitchen, Bella isn’t creeped out at all when Edward admits to stalking her every night. Instead, she’s just embarrassed that he heard her saying his name in her sleep. Bella, you have a stalker! 🚨😳 How is this not setting off major red flags? We’ve gone from “Twilight” to “Twilight Zone.” Bella, you need a security system, not a vampire boyfriend. 🚨🔐
Only after realizing that Bella needs to eat food regularly (Duh, Edward, humans get hungry like you get thirsty, and you only realize that now?) Edward decides to use math to learn how to cook. 😂📐 How in the world is he gonna solve the equation for the perfect omelet or what? 🥘🍽️ Maybe he’s calculating pi(e) recipes for Bella. 🥧 Edward, the world already has a Sheldon Cooper, so please stop the math. I don’t want a math lesson. This fact totally ruins my absolute favorite scene from the movies, deleted or not, where he cooks Bella breakfast on their honeymoon. Thanks, Mathward.
That night, they cuddle in her bed. Yup, you heard that right. They went from not being able to hold hands to kissing to sleeping together in a day. Well, Edward doesn’t sleep, but you get the idea. 🛏️💤 Bella has one thing on her mind, but Edward’s all like, “We can’t because I’ll crush you.” Then he adds, “I’m attracted to you because even though I’m not human, I’m still a man.” And then, to top it all off, he sings a lullaby to her to sleep. “Twilight: The Musical,” anyone? 😴🎵 Nothing says romance like, “I might accidentally kill you, but here’s a lullaby to calm your nerves.” It’s like The Notebook meets Dracula with a dash of Disney magic.
All I can say is, WTF with this guy? Like seriously, Edward, pick a lane! 🚗💨 Between the stalking, the 50s serenades, and the impromptu math lessons, this guy’s got more issues than Vogue.
Wish me luck as I dive into the “IDK WTF Anymore” saga. Honestly, I’m scared because what’s next? Omg, if I only realized back then… How did we not see these red flags waving like they were in a parade? 🎏🚩
🌞✨ Just tuned in to another wild episode of “Keeping Up with the Cullens,” and let me tell you, the drama and sparkles have hit a new high! 🧛♂️✨
So, Edward finally takes Bella to a secluded meadow to reveal his true nature. He steps into the sunlight, and BAM—he’s sparkling like a diamond-studded disco ball. Bella’s reaction? Amazement mixed with a bit of “WTF is happening?” 🤩💎
And guess what? They finally freaking hold hands! 🎉👏 Seriously, Edward, it took you long enough. Now they spend 90% of their time holding hands or cuddling. Why was that so hard to do? 👐❤️ It’s like they’re starring in their own rom-com, but with more sparkles and less common sense.
Edward’s perspective is a rollercoaster of internal monologue. He’s all, “I love her, but I also want to snack on her,” comparing his attraction to Bella’s scent to a heroin addict’s temptation. 🍷💉 He’s tearing apart tree branches and running at super-speed, trying to show Bella just how dangerous he can be. It’s like watching a superhero movie where the hero is also the potential villain. “Hey, Bella, check out my super strength—and, by the way, I might accidentally kill you.” 😬🌲 It’s like if the Hulk and Iron Man were the same person—talk about a complex character!
Meanwhile, Bella is completely mesmerized. She’s like, “Ooh, sparkles!” and despite Edward’s warnings, she’s more worried about their separation than the fact he could snap her like a twig. 💔 She touches his cold, marble-like skin and is like, “I’m not afraid of you,” while we’re all screaming, “Girl, you crazy?” 😅 She’s got more guts than the average horror movie protagonist.
They get into some deep confessions, with Edward explaining how every person’s scent is different, and Bella’s is like his own personal brand of heroin. Edward’s thinking, “Stay back, monster!” while Bella’s all, “But I love you!” Talk about a complicated relationship. 🥀 It’s like Beauty and the Beast, but with more glitter and less furniture singing.
And let’s not forget Edward doing mathematics in the meadow to calm down. Who does math to chill out while hanging with their girlfriend? Edward, that’s who. “Hey Bella, you’re so irresistible, but let me just calculate the trajectory of the meadow real quick.” 😂📐 He’s like Sheldon Cooper from The Big Bang Theory but with fangs.
After spending the day in the meadow, Edward gives Bella a piggyback ride back to the truck, moving at a speed that makes her dizzy. 🏃♂️💨 They share a passionate kiss, which Edward is thrilled he can control without, you know, accidentally devouring her. Kissing didn’t take nearly as long as hand-holding. WTF, Edward? 🥴 Bella lets Edward drive her truck because his kiss made her feel “drunk.” This guy is now her alcohol. Ok then. 🍷❤️ She’s practically singing “Drunk on You” by Luke Bryan at this point.
But seriously, why was I so into this guy 15 years ago? Yup, Jamie Fraser is so much better. 🗡️🏴 Outlander wins this round.
Stay tuned for more supernatural shenanigans and melodrama as I navigate through this glittery, tumultuous mess. Wish me luck! 😅✨
