In Conversation With A Himbo

[cozycullens]

excuse me but i think its a crime that smeyer gave us Edward “you need to have every human experience” Cullen and yet we never got a single wholesome holiday without impending doom???

[cozycullens]

like?? i know we as a fandom have filled in a lot of these blanks but

please go into detail about charlie’s annual 4th of July BBQ, where charlie and billy insist on taking carlisle fishing and they almost tip the boat

i want to read rosalie’s yearly reaction to having hundreds of anonymous valentines from admirers who are too scared to confess in person

give me emmett, jasper, and alice planning the sickest halloween party, inviting other supernatural friends to scare the shit out of their human guests 

tell me about the huge vampire gathering the cullens host every christmas and how the gift exchange is as unique and extravagant as you would expect it to be

you know that mothers day would be planned weeks in advance to give esme the love and admiration she deserves

and i can imagine edward and bella travelling to the city and kissing lovingly in a large crowd as the count down to new years begins, 10…9…8…

today i saw a guy wearing a shirt that says "i support cishet rights" and i felt very comforted and gave him $50 but then he walked past me and on the back it says "cishet rights to shut up" and he wont give me back my money which makes it fraud and it is not funny

tumblr already had a memories function like facebook and you can activate it by pissing off a 13 yr old enough for them to go through your blog and find something problematic you posted from 4 years ago

I had to make this Bc I hate all the other ones.... give it a listen 🥰🌲🦌🦇

[jasperwhitcock]

bella throughout the series: ugh i don’t understand why the cullens can’t just be nice to the wolves

me:

Give me my AU where Bella and Edward go to Dartmouth and decorate their house together and Bella struggles to drive that insane Mercedes and Edward stays up all night checking over her homework and they roam the streets on the weekends and Alice and Jasper visit all the time and they go on double dates and they achieve happiness without a child I’m so

jensen ackles being contractually forced to sit quietly for five minutes pretending to have an emotion

[emil]

my roommates keep bullying my cat by calling his name repeatedly to get his attention and then going “bababooie” every time he looks at them

[emil]

they also laugh and go “get bababooied” and he always looks so lost

the face of a man scandalized

[renegadepack]

do you ever sit down and think about how much better a book eclipse would have been if the romantic subplot had been edward and bella reconnecting after they both tried to kill themselves for each other, instead of a forced love triangle that destroyed a perfectly good character?

Have yet to figure out the head injury Stephenie Meyer is suffering from … the one that led her to think Bella needed a child

I agree 100 percent with those tags lmao

Hey guys, I’ve been seeing a few posts being circulated (not by any of my mutuals) about some problematic headcannons involving the Quileute tribe and the pack.

The posts mostly involve taking stereotypical “native American practices” and applying them to the Quileute. Like spirit animals/spirit guides and dream catchers and other things like that.

And I just wanted to remind all y’all fic writers and headcannoners that these are very specific practices and beliefs that are sacred to specific tribes/nations.

If you do not know for sure about the explicit cultural practices of a tribe, then please don’t bastardize them simply for your entertainment. Because our cultures and histories and beliefs are sacred and they deserve respect from outsiders. Also; side note: we aren’t even allowed to share the intricacies of our cultures with outsiders anyways so...

I also wanted to address the fact that there are things that are common across many nations over the United States. Such as hair being sacred, our relationships with the land, respect for our elders and ancestors, and (now) the medicine wheel. Now, that doesn’t mean that every single tribe practices these beliefs, just that they are very common.

However, beliefs such as spirit animals and dream catchers are NOT so please stop twisting and combining our sacred beliefs just because you think it sounds cool.

Sorry for the rant but this has been on my mind for quite some time.

Kaqinaš (thank you) 💫

emmett: remember that time you dared me to lick the swing set

edward: no, I said "emmett don't lick the swing set" and then you said "don't tell me what to do, virgin" and then you licked the swing set

I'm just going to say it, Meyer trying to add science to a fantasy book was a horrible decision. No one questioned vampires because magic. But trying to show how "compatible" Jacob and Resume are (blarg) through bad impossible science or trying to justify Bella getting pregnant at all with the same just made the series worse. NO ONE NEEDS A BACKSTORY FOR VAMPIRES. THEY'RE VAMPIRES. MAGIC. JUST USE MAGIC.

i actually would’ve loved a backstory for vampires, but i totally agree. make that shit magical. you think i’m reading twilight for the ill-informed scientific explanations? no. give me a fanatical backstory informed by mysticism where a transylvanian king so consumed by earthly glutton that he starves his subjects and subsequently pisses of a witch who curses him to an eternity without those things or something equally bonkers and corny and on the nose
