Today seems like a GREAT day to read up on Quileute history and all the misconceptions Twilight spread, and if you can, donate to the Move to the Higher Ground project!

Not only do we have new blogs that could benefit from these links, but as active fans it is our duty to exert the same energy into educating ourselves about social injustices around us, especially considering what our ~fave~ series did to the Quileute tribe.))

everything you see on tumblr is biased towards the perspectives of the types of people who post a lot on tumblr. this is essential to remember

charlie swan i don’t want to have to kill you with my mind but what do you mean that 17 year old bella gets home from school every day, cooks elaborate dinners, DOES THE DISHES ON HER OWN, and THEN does her homework all while you drink a beer and watch tv? and on the weekend she cleans the house by herself? i’m shooting you with lasers and dark magic spells

it's really gross how you can be self aware enough to know what's going on in your head but you can't actually stop it from happening. i need to grab it like a pigeon that got stuck in a house and throw it out the window. be free

tbh i think Bella & Edward's marriage is only happy and romantic for young people who don't know yet what a happy marriage looks like? which sounds kinda harsh since they're not unhappy, but...

there's an element of friendship that's missing. a deepening intimacy that comes with being newlyweds. constantly having sex is a stereotype & a fraction of what married life entails! i wish they had come back from their honeymoon with inside jokes and funny stories. i wish we'd seen them bickering over their idiosyncrasies as they adjust to living together. like. if you're going to write Twilight as a cozy paranormal romance, why cut out the coziest part of marriage?

beneath it all, what bothers me is that we never really get this emotional payoff. Edward & Bella struggle with their attraction, struggle to stay together despite the danger, struggle through their own insecurities and physical relationship... but there's no real reward for the reader after Bella becomes a vampire. we go right from the wedding to Bella getting pregnant, a possible war with the wolves, demon baby, then a confrontation with the Volturi.

when do we see them really be comfortable with each other as partners? the few lines we get of them reading together or discussing the plot don't feel enough for a series that uniquely prioritizes the "slice of life" aesthetic. why don't we see them take up new hobbies? or having discussions that would have been impossible for their unmarried virgin selves? when marriage goes symbolically hand-in-hand with flawless immortality, how come we don't get to learn what it means to to be married to your best friend forever?
