"You are my life now."

Edward Cullen, Twilight by Stephenie Meyer

// there was something hauntingly beautiful about the way Edward loved Bella. It wasn’t safe or simple: it was intense, overwhelming, and inevitable. He loved her like she was the only thing anchoring him to the world, like choosing her meant choosing life itself...

Jacob isn’t a bad character, he was just put in the hands of the wrong author.

[coozygirl]

bella was so right for taking leah's side and defending her from edward cause what do you mean she doesn’t deserve sympathy??!!?

[clowsvillesuckz]

Ok. look Tbh i’m a jacob #Hater but i don’t WANT to be…

after rewatching new moon it makes me Sad that jacob is the way he is because throughout twilight + first half of new moon he’s a really nice person!! and honesty would have been team jacob if he continued to act that way. and it sucks bcs obvs a lot of his behavioural change is akin to him going through wolf puberty n shit which he rlly didn’t want? obvs he didn’t KNOW that’s what was happening to his friends but he didn’t want to start acting the way they were and he didn’t have a choice….

n then he just like breaks all his promises disregards bella and her opinions and literally just does everything edward does… like im not defending edward’s actions bcs a lot of what he does (esp in eclipse) is like Fucked but he actively makes the effort to change when he realises how he’s impacting and hurting bella. he does all that shit because he thinks it’s the best way to protect her (which it’s NOT it’s only alienating her, making her feel uncared for and ignored) when he realises this he actively makes the effort to unlearn these things and do whatever he can to make bella happy and comfortable even if it’s at the expense of his own happiness. jacob however… Doesn’t. he just assaults bella, manipulates her and actively antagonises edward CONSTANTLY.

i completely get he is a 16 year old boy who is in a crazy shitty situation in love w his best friend and has recently become a werewolf like he is going through it and i empathise with that. but still man. it doesn’t excuse him just being super shitty and then refusing to better himself in anyway?

in BD edward invites jacob to the wedding because he knows it will make bella happy to have him there even after EVERYTHING and jacob apologises for everything (GOOD) but then immediately starts shitting on bella having a honeymoon saying there’s no point bcs they can’t have sex (which ??? you can still go on a honeymoon without that??? who doesn’t want a holiday?) and then when bella’s like Ok well not that it’s ANY of your business but we Will be doing that Thanks and then jacob like grabs her and hurts her and then runs off. i understand he’s concerned for her wellbeing but still that is really out of his jurisdiction!!

also i understand that this is the point. Like he is complicated and he can’t just be the happy go lucky guy he once was and it changes everything but like he never ACTUALLY gets the chance to redeem and better himself? Except for with renesmee which is. I do Not Care For it. Actually quite frankly i Hate It!!!!!!!!!! so it really doesn’t count…

[shefoundhiminjanuary]

a lot of this is great , it's got a lot of fair support of Edward and fair knocking on Jacob !! (also all in good fun this is for the love of the chat the love of being insane about Twilight the love of the back and forth)

ok here is the part I'll be annoying in!! gotta defend my man ok

BUT SAYING EDWARD DID. THE RIGHT THING GOING DIRECTLY AGAINST BELLAS WISHES TO INVITE JACOB TO WEDDING "because he knows it will make her happy" WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT. Bella didn't invite him because she knew in the long term it would make both of them sad which is exactly what happened. and Jacob of course immediately clocks that this is not the wedding she wanted and Alice and Edward bullied her into it. insane to see Jake hate about antagonizing in opposition to Edward because like oml Edward calls Jacob racial slurs , I think that's pretty antagonizing !!!

and no Bella shouldn't have sex with the vampire tbh I'm sorry Edward was a little bit right about that like she wakes up covered in feathers the entire room is destroyed and you know it's not because Edward is pushing her against walls he would NEVER. he had to run around the room and break things while they were banging 😭😭 sorry that's not a big criticism, it's what Bella wanted I just think it's funny LMAOOO

and then I think him running off was the good mature decision!! it was a mistake to have inviting him and trying to fix the way he just acted about Bella's life would have just made things worse!! because you're right it is super out of his jurisdiction and unfair of him to put Bella in that position, but it's unfair of abyone to have invited him!!

i just think when Jacob becomes like Edward as you mentioned, he has the excuse of 1) racist writing 2) being SIXTEEN. Edward is a geriatric old man who hates the 70s! he has a hundred years of experience!

imo the defining moment for Jacob and Edward for me is when Edward of course wants to forcibly abort Bella's demon pregnancy against her wishes. and was going to hold her down and do it with Carlisle. if not for Rosalie. and then he goes to Jacob and was like "if you help convince her to abort you can give her puppies" which is so horrifying to me because it's so clear in that moment that he doesn't understand Bella or what she wants at all. Jacob even says "don't you know her at all?"

and she suggests imprinting to Jacob like GIRL HE DOESN'T WANT TO BE ENSLAVED, DON'T YOU KNOW HIM AT ALL?

anyway. i feel that sometimes Edward tries to give Bella the illusion of agency, but he only willingly gives her one thing she wants and that's himself. both himself as a person and in honeymoon stuff. which puts her in a position when she always feels like she is in debt to him for just existing around her and giving her stuff that she doesn't really want (expensive gifts etc) . he even took it away from her (new moon) and it ended up making her feel like she owes him even more for just loving her! get her a first edition book damn u got the money.

i wish he got the chance to get better but tbh I think his redemption or whatever would have happened off screen. the Cullens (including Bella) are so toxic and in a generally toxic situation that he cannot get better with them around.

also I can't get past the slurs like idc if he stopped I stopped being friends with my best friend because she didn't break up with her boyfriend after he unapologetically said a slur one time and it wasn't even directed at someone. if I was Bella, Alice would have been out on her ass the moment she talked about how horrible and dangerous it was to be hanging out with werewolves after she already knew they had saved my life after the cliff dive. girl, you have killed people with your mouth. you don't get to tell me who is dangerous.

i think that the werewolves, who evolved solely to protect from cold ones and are actively having their lives ruined by the Cullens who moved back to the one place they knew they weren't wanted, have a right to be antagonistic to the Cullens where the vampires just don't . the Quilutes have actual reason to hate vampires. the Cullens don't have any reason to hate people who literally always shared their goals.

also Jacob did try to better himself , he was like "I'm in a really shitty situation and because of that I have to change my boundaries with you Bella" and he removed himself from the bad situation like my man is doing his very best.

and now he's shackled to them for eternity with renesmee gonna kms!! FREE MY MAN OML that plot sucks ass

The Twilight Saga: New Moon

Honestly it’s so funny that Edward turned out to be absolute shite at tracking. I love it.

He’s got a great many talents but when it came down to the very important task of tracking down the biggest threat to the love of his life he just. Fumbled. So hard. He blew it. And just gave up and curled up into a ball in Rio about it. Had no idea whatsoever that Victoria was actively stalking and plotting against Bella.

Like. smeyer is notorious for her plot holes. But she bothered to fill this one, and the filling was “yeah he tried. he just sucks”

[shefoundhiminjanuary]

am I crazy okay I thought

i thought it was canon that Victoria's power is that she's good at evading tracking. that's how she and James met, they challenged each other and her power engaged less and less as she started to enjoy the chase and and him so she inadvertently let him find her.

i thought canonically Edward just thought he was bad because he didn't know her power but really he's just average vampire in tracking

anyway let me know if there's no source for this I might double check the illustrated guide

[shefoundhiminjanuary]

update I'm not crazy. locked in, actually!!! a few details off though.

"After a few years of endless chasing, James was intrigued. He knew his tracking abilities went beyond just having excellent senses. He had a gift: He could predict his prey’s moves in advance. But this vampire seemed to have a similar ability to know his own plans. He no longer wanted to kill the vampire; he wanted to learn more about her.

Unbeknownst to him, the less he meant her actual harm, the less effective her own skill became. She could feel the shift and eventually allowed him to catch up with her—in a place she’d chosen for its easy escape routes, just in case. She was also curious about this dogged pursuer who could somehow always find her trail again."

"SPECIAL ABILITIES: She was exceptionally good at evading enemies."

didn't go through the summary of victorias pov because I'm lazy, but I think that's got details on avoiding Edward & powers more in depth

much love to ‘i love my blorbo but they did all that’ but there should be a new category of ‘i love my blorbo but they were written by someone with transparent but unspoken biases and you gotta understand that context’

[vault-heck]

We all love the “becoming the very thing you sought to destroy,” trope. but I have a growing fondness for “destroying the very thing you sought to become”

[shefoundhiminjanuary]

"destroying the thing you became after you found you hated it" is not as snappy but I'm giving it to you bella it's all for you

Jacob & Bella's Similarities

People so easily disregarding that both Jacob and Bella were parentified,

Bella forced to care for her mother emotionally ( act like a mother rather than child) & Jacob physically ( responsible for the well being of his father) both given an immense amount of responsibility as kids/minors and forced to mature. As twilight progresses they both make decisions and face situations that are not appropriate for their age.

Bella married at 18 and baby at 19...put into the role of mother and wife way before she is meant to...her education put aside and not considered a priority

Jacob forced in the role of protecter....responsible for protecting not just his pack and tribe, but his entire community/Forks....He then imprints on Rasputin and is now forced into the role of slave/bodyguard/lover/whatever other fucked up thing....at only 17 years old.

Both Bella and Jacob similarly go through journeys that cause them to act older than they are or that are inappropriate for individuals of their age...both are isolated from their communities and families and have responsibilities that they shouldn't and most of these things happen without their consent (specifically Jacob) + also wanna add that the werewolf transformation is shit for all members and gives them the same responsibilities (forcing them to mature)...and not only causes them physical pain but changes the way they function, and has detrimental effects to them mentally, emotionally and just to their overall lives....but I am talking about Jacob here so I wanted to specify

Bella Swan

I’m going through a bit of a twilight phase right now and just had to draw some fanart. I’ve been reading the books so this is my interpretation of what Bella Swan would look like.

My goal was to make her look like just some sad and mysterious teen girl plus some fringe bangs because why the hell not.
