Rereading Twilight through an adult's perspective is always an interesting experience. Obviously, Edward and Bella have to have the narrative autonomy of adults to a certain extent. For example, Bella being "born middle-aged" and having pretty laid-back parents (compared to some) allows her to move through the plot more easily. Sure she gets grounded every now and then, but she can pretty much come and go as needed. Naturally, Edward and his siblings aren't going to be treated as "children" what with most of them being 80-100 years old.

That being said, there are times throughout the story when I wish Carlisle and Esme were a little more "parental" towards Edward and Bella specifically. It wouldn't even have to be proper parenting- if they showed a little more active concern and offered guidance, that would be enough.

When Bella shows up with a broken wrist and a story about her "best friend" kissing her against her will, it would have been nice if Esme had talked with her. Even "I know you're having relationship problems, and I'm here if you want to talk" would have been good. I think it would have been especially interesting if Carlisle and Esme had looked at Charlie and realized that he couldn't fully guide Bella because he didn't have the full picture of everything she was dealing with, so they stepped in to support her more.

I know having active parents kind of kills the teen drama of it all. These books would never work if Edward and Bella were wise and mature all the time. But there are still times when I wish the parents had seen these teens floundering and stepped in a bit more.

i still can’t believe the twilight movies have people genuinely thinking charlie swan deserves the dad of the year award. book charlie couldn’t handle his only child’s tears to the point that he would avoid her any time she had any emotion at all, including during her catatonic depression, he would disable her truck on the pure suspicion she may be sneaking out (because she went to bed too early in the evening… to spend the night with edward in her room), he left to go on long fishing trips randomly, allowed her to move in with him and immediately do all the cooking, cleaning and laundry for him without helping out at all, when he grounded her at the end of new moon he basically treated her as his live in maid once again, he sided when jacob when he basically sexually assaulted her in eclipse, and most of all, he never fought renee for custody of bella because “renee needed bella to take care of her”. bella was 18 months old when renee took her and left btw.

Bella Swan they could never make me hate you

Apparently there are 5 twilight movies? And I’ve seen them all? No memory. Anyway here’s a commission I did of my bestie’s faves <3

Random headcanon:

Carlisle has a separate photo album with mug shots of his children, taken when they were in trouble. With captions like "Edward, speeding, 1986" or "Jasper, card counting in Las Vegas, 2000"

There are most photos of Emmett.

Twilight needed more casual/comedic body horror.

Edward and Rose ripping limbs off each other over petty sibling snits. Newborn Bella getting overly excited during the arm wrestling match and accidentally putting cracks in Emmett’s hand when she slams it down. Edward getting violently ill after eating Bella’s tear (was it worth it?). Jasper being unable to ever go shirtless around humans for any reason because he has a chunk of his torso missing from his stint in the southern vampire wars (a newborn took a bite out of him and swallowed out of spite, so now he looks like a surfboard after a shark attack). Edward actually backhanding Mike Newton through a wall (he gets away with it; it was flimsy drywall, Mike was drunk as a skunk at the time and doesn’t remember the next day, and no one else saw). Carlisle running experiments on himself and his family at the Cullen house—Bella drops in for a visit and sees Rosalie bored and texting on the dining room table with her stomach flayed open dissection-style. Jake having trouble shifting back into human form after breaking all the bones in Eclipse so he’s stuck as a wolf for a week and mopes around Billy’s house as the biggest saddest most pathetic dog in history. Vampires and their marble/crystalline skin being so heavy they need to be careful about which surfaces they walk on

When I first read twilight I didn't even care about the Team Edward vs Team Jacob drama coz I was so madly in love with Alice

I found book accurate versions of Bella’s engagement ring today.

This was from a vintage sale and they were all estate jewelry, so they were actual vintage rings and might have been from the Victorian/Edwardian era. My first thought when I saw them was, “Those are Bella’s engagement ring!”

Immense gratitude

I think Bella would lose her shit if she knew that Edythe turned Beau at the ballet studio. She would kick and scream and bite because Edythe gave that man everything Bella wanted, and Edward gave her a thousand things she didn't want or need except for the one thing she actually desired

More little bloodymary things:

- Grace vlogging: "We're monitoring the new humanoid alien to see if they wake up...it'll be difficult having to add yet another alien language to the translator but-"

Simon, in the medbay: "FUCK!"

Grace: "...okay nevermind?"

- Simon stumbling around the Mary confused and aggressive with Grace and Rocky chasing after him but then he sees the viewport full of stars and just. Freezes up.

- Grace introducing Simon to the "don't go crazy room" with all the scenes of earth.

Simon: "...do you have...trees on here?"

Grace: "Sure, what kind?"

Simon, shellshocked: "H-how many do you have?"

Cue Grace in teacher mode going through every tree-based biome on earth and Simon just wide-eyed absorbing everything.

- Simon is skeptical that he'll ever get to earth. Grace is reassuring him up until they figure out they have to go back and save Rocky. Simon lets out 1(one) big scream before plopping himself in the cockpit like "Alright, fuck it, point me there."

- Simon stepping onto an actual planet for the first time. And it's not earth but still. A planet. Full of life. With a sun. Wow.

"Grace I can live without ever going to earth if it means i never have to get in a damn spaceship or submarine or whatever ever again."

Emmett McCarthy “when I saw my wife I thought I died and went to heaven cause she’s a fucking angel” Cullen would have NEVER laughed when Jacob threw that dog bowl at Rosalie’s head.

[rosemmett]

I think when Jacob heard what he thought was laughter, he was actually hearing the sound of Emmett Cullen killing him for insulting his wife and the rest of Breaking Dawn was his foggily misinterpreted afterlife

how do u imagine the other cullens weddings

Rosalie x Emmett - They got married multiple times, as stated in the books. They probably tried a lot of different themes and styles. You know, a sunset beach wedding, a traditional church wedding… idk, naked on a cliff. I like to think that after Jalice joins the family, Rosalie, after having a bonding moment with Jasper, asks him to walk her down the aisle.

Esme x Carlisle - Their first wedding was simple and traditional, just the two of them, a priest, and Edward as a witness. One of my headcanons is that at the turn of the '80s and '90s, the Cullens moved to a town in Alaska, but as two separate families (Carlisle and the twins as his half-siblings—the Cullen-Hale family, and Esme and the other three as her cousin's orphaned children—the Platt family) so that Carlisle and Esme could have their own love story. Then they had a second wedding, this time larger, a bit like Bella and Edward's.

Alice x Jasper – Alice probably spent weeks planning this day. She couldn't throw a wedding as big as Bella and Edward's, but she wanted to make it the best she could. She brought in the Denali sisters and even Peter and Charlotte. Everyone knew it was Alice's day. Jasper wasn't a fan, but he simply wanted to make Alice happy, so he agreed to everything. And when the wedding hour arrived… no one could find Alice and Jasper, or Charlotte and Peter. Because Alice knew perfectly well that Jasper wouldn't be happy being the center of attention. So she took him and his friends, and… they got married in Vegas. It wasn't fancy, it wasn't exactly what she'd planned, but it was still their perfect wedding. Quietly, just their style. Because, after all, they're not like Rosalie and Emmett. They don't need loud declarations of affection.
