eliza | 22 | back on my twilight bullshit let's go

[haletwinsstan]

2021 bingo cards but make it twilight renaissance. here’s to a great year!

[edwardbottoms]

HELLOO????

[leech-lover]

Psst. Edward orders a hot chai latte (soy)

Esme prefers a caffe latte with extra EXTRA caramel sauce (iced or hot depends on the day) She is partial to a peppermint mocha in the wintertime

Carlisle would order a regular drip coffee with nonfat milk

Alice is a Frappuccino slut. Literally ANY Frappuccino she will drink

Emmett loves Frappuccinos too! He loved the Santa Frapp this year

Jasper prefers an iced green tea lemonade. If Alice orders a pink drink, he will sometimes steal a sip, and then secretly be glad when she just gives him the entire thing (she totally ordered it for him anyways)

Rosalie likes iced caramel macchiatos with extra extra caramel sauce and almond milk (human Rosalie is lactose intolerant, but only cares when it comes to her coffee. She eats so much cheese. In fact, she orders a cheese Danish with this!)

Bella gets a doubleshot on ice with 2% and cinnamon dolce

[haletwinsstan]

Not start something but Jasper strikes me as the kind of guy who believes anything other than black coffee (no milk no sugar) is heresy

[leech-lover]

Oh yeah, when he HAS to drink coffee, he goes for plain black coffee. Confederate soldier and all, he prob didn’t have sugar and all that.

But let’s be honest here, he doesn’t REALLY like coffee and won’t drink it unless absolutely necessary.

His choice caffeinated drink is sugar free red bull

[littlealicecullen]

Okay but... Please Google cowboy coffee. Please. As a barista, I need other people to share my horror.

I know it's not a Starbucks order. But tell me you can't see Jasper drinking that both as our resident ye ye boy, and just because can you imagine him looking someone dead in their horrified eyes as he drinks it? The chaotic energy it has.

And also Alice's absolutely ridiculous laughter when he smiles at her and he's got coffee grounds all over his fucking teeth. Good shit.

qlsjfqkdhdba @lemonadebottlecap why would you hide this in the tags

[biophonies]

ah, i’m so bad at posting here. acknowledging this Day of Mourning from the lands of Kiikaapoi, Peoria, Potawatomi, Myaamia & Ochethi Sakowin people, aka Chicago, derived from a native word for garlic (mmm…) which is really suitable for me because I live here now 🌱🧄✨

whose.land are you on? talk about it over dinner this weekend with your fam & what it means to give the #landback. considering everything, listening & learning from indigenous people is the least you can do.

[emmettsleftnut]

I can just imagine Bella waking up during the night with some sort of vampire question, driving over to the Cullens place and walking into the door before yelling “Hey! Does a persons blood type make them taste different?!” She hears Jasper yell “Yeah” from the lounge and immediately says “Aight sick thanks” and drives back home to Charlie’s before going back to sleep, this happens often

[twilight-mademegay]

Bella at 2 am: Can you what someone's blood type is based in how they taste? Do all Type Os taste the same?

Jasper somewhere in the house distantly: Depends on their iron levels.

Bella: Do anemics taste like the diet version of blood like sodas?

Emmett on the other end of the house: Yeah!

Edward right next to Bella on his knees begging: Please go to sleep Bella we have school tomorrow.

[haletwinsstan]

Esme from the garden: for god’s sake guys just add the girl to the group chat

[the104yearoldvirgin]

Edward being weird at school: 👀

Bella "my Dad gave me pepper spray but I could definitely handle your twink ass without it" Swan:

This is why I stopped selling on Etsy. I got really sick and tired of all that nonsense.

Please support Native people!!!! In any way!!! Even if its spreading this good message around!!!!

If you already purchase body products online, switching to purchase buying soaps, body oils, lotions, etc from Native elders who have been making natural body products for generations is really easy. I usually hop on Beyond Buckskin when I want to buy a gift for someone or myself, they have a Buy Native List directory here. I just bought three of my close friends (who all have just had a birthday or are having a birthday soon) soaps from here and here 

[weavemama]

ya’ll this cool new site lets you know if a certain movie or TV show has any affiliation with anyone who was accused of sexual assault. this is important for those of us who are passionate about not supporting work that associates itself with sexual abusers, for the sake of the victims.

[volturialice]

Alice is manipulative?

boy is she ever! to be fair, I think anyone who could see the future would be. 

she can see where everyone’s decisions will lead, so she’s constantly manipulating events, and occasionally people, to get the outcomes she wants—whether by guilt-tripping bella into letting her plan a wedding, tricking charlie into letting bella stay over, hoodwinking her family into thinking she’s ditched them, or throwing a snowball at emmett at just the right moment so that the cullens will look Maximum Cute when bella looks over, etc etc. 

the word “manipulative” has negative connotations of like. complete sociopathic jokeresque toxic mind games, but I don’t think it’s always that serious in alice’s case. a lot of her manipulations are in there to drive the plot or fulfill smeyer’s aesthetic self-insert makeover needs. she often uses her gift for selfish reasons, but other times she really does know what’s best for people (the ethics of letting them make and learn from their own mistakes notwithstanding.)

I think it’s good characterization for a self-described “close enough [to omniscient]” psychic to have a teeeensy bit of a god complex going on. if you had the power to make things go your way all the time, you would use it! I sure as hell would.

this can sometimes result in a callous disregard for other people’s agency, which is a GREAT conflict. love that. if the twilight books were about alice, her character arc would involve a lot of realizing her own potential to screw up, and reexamining herself and her behavior accordingly. in NM she calls herself “far from infallible,” so she seems to be getting there.

but overall, I don’t need her to become some kind of flawlessly kind paragon who always respects others’ boundaries! I like her with that nice machiavellian edge. gives her some Flavor

It’s Mormon conference weekend, which happens twice a year, and is when all the Mormons stay in and listen to new talks given by their leaders all day long on Saturday and Sunday. It’s consequently also a very scary time for the gay community in Utah, and the whole weekend we often send and receive lots of texts checking in, making sure everyone’s okay, asking if they’ve heard the latest awful talk condemning us. There’s real world applications to everything that happens there. Parents are “moved” to disown their children, coworkers and friends and neighbors are reminded to Other us and treat us accordingly. Suicide rates increase significantly. I remember the year after they announced children of gay parents would have to formally disown them before they’d be welcome in the church, and for two weeks afterward a group chat updated the gay community in my area almost every day with a handful of names who were not longer with us. A talk just concluded that said confusing both your gender identity and your gender role is the influence of Satan, which is deeply harmful to young trans kids and to young women. This isn’t a fun or sexy post for your timeline it just sucks and I hate Mormons and I can feel how difficult this next week is going to be as a result.

[trainthief]

I just… I know it’s easy to just joke about Mormons and consider them harmless cause Utah is just one state and who lives there?? But like, I do. And lots of gay and trans people do, as well as poc, and young women who have had their whole lives and concepts of self defined by this bullshit. It’s the popular culture and it’s the state laws and it’s everything it’s not just something people do in Sundays. A friend of mine went on a Mormon mission and realized he was gay after he’d been having psychosomatic seizures. For four months. Because he’d been trained to repress it so well. Like you all KNOW it’s important to me to love and respect all religions but that’s not a fucking religion they’re absolutely evil and making millions of dollars off of this shit and it makes me so mad.

[nultemp]

as someone who lives in the capital of utah and is surrounded and well educated on the mormon church i can say with no hyperbole it is a cult motivated by money, it is terrifying the influence they have on everything from laws to culture in utah and the conference was very anti lgbt focused, be there for your utahn friends

[brunhiddensmusings]

reminder that the mormons have declared war on the united states multiple times, are aggressively recruiting when and wherever they can to the point leaving utah to go as a conversion missionary is considered an inherent part of graduation and often a prerequisite for employment, have a frightening level of indoctrination that includes attacking anyone who leaves like just shy of scientologist ‘i need a lawyer to leave this religion’ levels of what the fuck universities in utah have actual classes for women to learn how to be housewives, that level of dystopia

[siristaci]

Actually, you do need a lawyer to leave. See quitmormon.org.

I just want to remind everyone how affordable buying food from indigenous tribes is. I live in a major city and I was able to purchase and ship (15) pounds of fish from back home to myself for cheaper than I could buy it from a grocery store here in the city. Yeah, shipping has its own environmental factors but I was able to support an indigenous owned business while also getting my groceries at a lesser cost. (Buying in bulk is always a good idea if you’re planning on having something shipped to you)

Some tribal owned grocers that ship:

Bow and Arrow (Ute Mountain)

Native Harvest (White Earth)

Red Lake Fishery (Red Lake)

Wozupi (Mdewakanton Dakota)

Ramona Farms (Gila River)

Tanka Bars (Oglala)

Indian Pueblo Store (Pueblos)

Twisted Cedar Wine (Cedar Paiutes)

Ute Bison (Ute)

Seka Hills Olive Oil and Vinegars (Yocha Dehe Wintun)

She Nah Nam Seafood (Nisqually)

Sakari Botanicals (Inupiaq)

Honor the Earth (?)

Nett Lake Wild Rice (Anishinaabe)

Passamaquoddy maple (Passamaquoddy)

BONUS: coffee :)

Yeego Coffee (Navajo)

Spirit Mountain Roasting (Yuma Quechan)

Birchbark Coffee (Anishinaabe)

Thunder Island Coffee (Shinnecock)

[howlonghaveyoubeenseventeen]

ok but imagine the boys all get together to try to cook something nice for emily bc she’s always making food for them and somehow amidst all the chaos everything turns out great (quil probably knew what he was doing and directed everyone else) and emily happy cries and the boys don’t want her to cry so they do dumb stuff to make her laugh instead
