After Alice and Jasper lose Bella at the airport:

I have complicated feelings about Rosalie, but I feel it is important to remember she was turned in the middle of the greatest trauma point in her life. She is frozen in that position of helplessness. Keeping in mind the situations when the Cullens were turned helps explain some of their behavior IMO (IE Esme’s nesting, Emmetts obsession with competition, Edwards abandonment issues)

The concept extends to the rest of the vamps as we know them - Hell, Jane and Alec’s powers are directly tied to their method of death (Jane wanting others to feel the pain of burning alive, Alec wanting to take the pain away). And Alice, the best adjusted of the Cullens from the outset, is the only one not saddled by the circumstances of her turning, because she has no subconscious memory of it to be solidified like the rest of the family.

It feels intentionally obtuse to not understand Rosalie’s desperation for control and stability as manifestation of that trauma. That doesn’t make her choices right, but it certainly gives her purpose, rather than the “meaningless bitchy blonde” some in the fandom paint her.

Edward, in biology class, plotting 647 different murder scenarios:

Alice, in English class, watching that horror movie of possibilities:

I love how we as a species circled back to adoring Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, and for better reasons.

In honor of Midnight Sun, I've decided to make some extremely specific memes about my teenage twilight experience, please feel free to add your own! lmao

intheicyairofnight

the funniest parts of midnight sun

with spoilers obviously

when Edward first smells Bella it takes him two pages of inner monologue before he thinks of holding his breath

apparently vampires can run so fast they don’t leave footprints in snow just like LotR elves and this is physics nonsense

Edward listening to a CD of “violent music”

“a word I’d never said before in the presence of a lady” ajlskdflj

Alice to Jasper: “I know you love me. Thanks.”

“And then my conscience smote me.”

“She was offended by my teasing. I must have done it wrong again.”

the “dazzling” moments from the original book are Edward fruitlessly trying to frighten people by baring his teeth I can’t deal

when Bella points this out he thinks “I’m losing my edge”

Edward worries about whether Bella thinks he’s pretty

Bella wears a shirt “cut low enough to reveal her collarbones”

Edward literally thinks the sparkling will horrify and disgust her

“I avoided the word ‘sex’ because she did” OH GROW UP

“It was enlightening and alluring to watch her in her element” IS THE INTRODUCTION TO A PARAGRAPH OF HER MAKING CHEERIOS

the book. includes. a car chase.

during the car chase they knock off the side mirrors and EMMETT AND JASPER LOOK OUT THE WINDOWS SO EDWARD CAN READ THEIR MINDS AS REPLACEMENT SIDE MIRRORS this isn’t stated in the book but I like to imagine they stuck their heads all the way out like happy dogs

us collectively reading our illegal copies of midnight sun cause fuck sm*yer

hayley williams got ripped to shreds over one misogynistic song to the point where she’s had to publicly personally apologize multiple times and has retired the song live and yet every male pop punk band is sitting on albums worth of songs that are misogynistic and violent towards women and they’re all just chillin…….. curious………. i wonder what the difference is…..
