I wasn’t born a compassionless shrew. I used to be sort of nice, you know.

I know it’s over but the Wolfpack’s favorite Halloween movies

I had my bestie @jacobyouidiotihadit help me with this bc she’s the biggest film hoe I know ✨ this was so fun!

leah loves a good horror-comedy — she fucks with scream, cabin and the woods, ready or not, and the cult bisexual classic jennifer’s body. she also thinks it follows is genius 😌

seth doesn’t like scary shit but still wants to enjoy the spirit of halloween so every year he watches the nightmare before christmas, hocus pocus, and the addams family with his mom and leah 🧡

quil has a thing for creepy movies with even more unsettling animation so he LOVES monster house, scary godmother, and coraline. he also enjoy found footage movies, and someday he wants to make his own. the ending of the blair witch project fucked him up when he first watched it when he was like 12 because he thought it was real 😳😳

embry is the pack film hoe so he makes sure to put everybody on to the Must WatchTM movies ✨ — the shining and the thing (even though everybody except sam complains and paul falls asleep during both movies), candyman, and the current C L A S S I C S: ari aster’s hereditary and midsommar, along with jordan peele’s us and get out (the latter of which he uses as a cautionary tale to jacob, the white woman’s whore)

paul fucks with the classic slashers: friday the 13th, halloween, child’s play, nightmare on elm street, and he LOVES the original IT (the tim curry one) because he is the pack clown. paul’s the type to yell “LOOK BEHIND YOU” at the tv even during movies he’s seen before. every now and then when he likes to lighten the mood, he’ll put on scary movie with the wayans brothers 🤪

jacob doesn’t even like horror movies like that, but he’ll watch them with his friends. he “laughs at the gore that makes weaker men vomit”, even if the gore is super unrealistic and fucking stupid. he’d really rather just watch an action movie tho 😐

jared unironically loves gore. he’s seen all the saw movies and doesn’t understand why nobody wants to watch them with him. he also thinks the final destination movies are really fun — the 3D one is his favorite 😌

sam stays up to date on the latest creepy ghost/possession movies. he’ll watch any paranormal activity movie, and the conjuring freaked him out but he’s seen all the spin-offs and sequels too. he also likes oculus, mirrors, and insidious 👻

my favourite part of new moon is when edward is bagging on romeo for being dumb as shit and then is like “ohhh but actually i’m lowkey rlly jealous of him” and bella just naturally assumes he means bcs romeo is in love with the beautiful juliett and edward’s like “what? ew no i just wish i could kill myself”

unironically LOVE when fanfic writers have Charlie Swan watching football even when it's not football season. my man's so dedicated to Sports™ he's just sitting around watching reruns instead of being a father to his daughter. blown away by the dedication. #1 dad award

not sure if you’ve touched on this before hint i’ve been curious lately: does edward actually like alice and bella or does he just appreciate their gifts? i’m not quite sure how to explain it but the more i think about it, the less alice seems like the kind of person edward would like. she seems to be more self-interested and cunning than the saint-like characters edward typically reveres. i’ve been wondering if their bond is less about a genuine like for each other and more about an understanding of each other's gifts.

i know edward's attraction to bella as a person vs her silent mind has been discussed before. do you think edward would've fallen for bella if she were more like characters like rosalie and jessica? for instance, assuming her mind were still closed off to him, would edward still have found bella fascinating if he perceived her to be vain and materialistic?

This is part of why I'm less interested in the gifts stuff that a lot of other people. I think it does muddy the waters with things like this. Like, are Edward and Alice actually compatible as siblings/friends or is it just like "you're the only one who understands because our author gave us these specific gifts?" And at the end of the day maybe it doesn't super matter; they DO have those gifts and it DOES help them understand one another so what it would be like without them only really matters if you're writing some All Human AU that removes the supernatural. In their world, compatibility with gifts is a thing, and probably just as valid as other kinds of compatibility and sympathy.

It is interesting that Edward thinks Rose is selfish and vain but loves Alice, when you know if it were Rosalie spending all this money on clothes they only wear once and throwing parties he would see it as another sign of her poor moral character. But part of it may be that Alice and Edward are different enough that they don't annoy each other in the same way Rose and Edward do. Both of them are more melancholy, more negative, more judgmental. Alice is more fun and happy and extroverted so Edward probably doesn't see his own flaws in her the same way he does in Rose (although they can be similar, too, in their sort of manipulative "I know best" dealings).

With Bella I think the gifts thing is even more of a factor. I mean if he could hear Bella's thoughts he'd be getting a lot of "Edward is SO hot" because that's what her narration is in the book, and I don't know that he's find that any different than how Jessica or whoever thinks about him. But because he can't read her mind, he's able to project on her, and also interpret her choices and actions in flattering ways rather than negative ways as he does with most people. And like I get it. I certainly think things I wouldn't say or do. I'm very patient and helpful at my job at the library, for example, but in my head when I see certain people coming and asking for help I'm like "ugggggh not THIS person" and "why can't you do this yourself?!?!" so if Edward were reading my mind he might be like "oh she's not as nice as she seems, she's two-faced, what a scoundrel!" when it's really just . . . being human?

If Bella's behavior was more like Rose and Jessica but Edward couldn't read her mind, that would be interesting. I guess if she also still smelled delicious he might fall for her, and then make up flattering explanations or excuses for the behaviors he doesn't like in others. "She just moved here/she's lonely/she misses her mother/she will grow out of it/whatever" when he's not willing/able to extend that same grace to Jessica because he can read her mind and judges her on her thoughts.

And this isn't me badmouthing Edward; I'm sure it WOULD be genuinely hard NOT to judge people when you're hearing what they are thinking all the time. That's going to flavor your perceptions of people in a major way. But I do think it's not really a fair or accurate view of a person, because what we DO and SAY matters more than what we think. We can have bad thoughts and re-direct them. We can think something mean and choose not to say it. We can internally grumble but do the Right Thing anyway.

I also think having the first two people he spent any time with being the uncommonly "good" Carlisle (super compassion!) and Esme (unconditional love) probably didn't help Edward get a realistic picture of what most people's thoughts are like. Judging a teenager's developing brain against a centuries-old compassion-motivated vampire doctor isn't gonna be a fair comparison. "Carlisle would never think like that" sure but he's also been actively choosing to fight baser instincts for hundreds of years, and Jessica's a 17-year-old navigating social cliques and history exams. They are not the same.

*I personally don't consider Bella a Cullen kid; she married in and still has at least one human parent actively in her life. But I know others see it differently so here you go.

Cure to vampirism is discovered pre-Breaking Dawn. How does Bella react?

Overjoyed! Edward longs to be human and now they can be human together!

Happy for Edward, but a little sad for herself. Still mostly happy.

Conflicted, unsure, ambivalent. She wanted Edward AND vampirism.

Lowkey disappointed. Now she's gotta like . . . age. Ew.

Utterly devastated. All her dreams of a perfect forever, gone!

Tells Edward if he loves her he'll stay a vampire and turn her as agreed.

Tells Edward he can do whatever and she'll just get Alice to change her.

Bella has an adorable klutz moment and 'accidentally' destroys the cure.

Edward Cullen, Olde Worlde Gentleman & romance extroardinaire, really thought to himself, "i'll take my new girlfriend of 1 (one) day to a secluded field in the woods to meet my vampire family & have her sit in the rain & watch us play a sport she hates. surely a good time will be had by all"
