Aro admitting that he'll never convince Carlisle to stay in the Vampire Vatican and he's eternally stuck with Caius and Marcus instead
Emmett: People tell me I have a unique way of lighting up a room!
Alice: its called Arson and those people are called witnesses
Bella concerned: has Edward always had a habit of running headlong into certain death?
Alice: Naw, sometimes he walks. Occasionally, he shuffles. Periodically, he ambles.
Rosalie: One time I saw him trip into certain death
when bella didn't want to get married at 18 because she saw how her parents' marriage crumbled and she was opposed to the patriarchal nature of the whole institution, and is bitter about it until the moment she is walking down the aisle, but as soon as she's married she realizes that being mrs. cullen is actually the best thing to ever happen to her and she's immediately ecstatic to have a baby with her husband. the way jacob says "you don't even belong to yourself anymore" about imprinting and is repulsed by the very idea, but then when he imprints he realizes it's actually what he was born to do & nothing could make him happier & he leaves everything behind to live with his mate's family. man once you become aware of the mormon agenda present within the twilight saga it is ALL you're aware of lol
Also unrelated but it's almost like that when the Cullens fought the volturi it was basically a small group following a new way of life and tenets of religion (not!mormons) against an old world upholding the traditions of ancient religion (not!catholics)
The fact that neither group won indicates to me that moral superiority between either group is immaterial in the face of upholding a status quo where both groups can enjoy social and economic dominance in their respective geographic and political spheres
Promises from the older group to uphold an impartial and fair standard of morality melts away in efforts to uphold power and perceptions of benevolence
And promises from the new ftoup to overthrow existing structures and hold the older orders accountable for their actions becomes moot when they are given an opportunity to uphold their current dominance without loss
Idk man it's kinda weird once you see the layers
i've said it before but it will forever and always make me insane that jacob's ending is to join the cullens for the sake of bella not having to give anything up. they find out jake will be immortal & tied to renesmee forever, so bella gets to smile & say "my family is finally complete! ^-^" but jake already HAS a family. he has a father and 2 sisters. quil, embry, seth and sam are like his brothers. jacob and leah were planning to run away together. he's always been welcome in emily's home, sue has been a family friend since before his birth. bella abandons her mortality by choice because she feels no connection to the people around her, but jacob has really strong bonds. it's clear that every character we meet in la push is like family to him, he's an active member of the community. jake would've graduated high school and been a mechanic, would've grown into a young man. a good friend, a fun uncle, a present son. he's set up to have such a rich life. and he's just magically compelled to give that up. beyond his control, he loses sight of everything, because his high school crush's baby is now the singular most important thing to him. he's perpetually 18 with his perpetually 18 year old girlfriend, running around vancouver or alaska or wherever with the girl who friendzoned him at 16 & her in-laws (who were antagonistic to him for months). and i'm just supposed to say omg yay now he doesn't have to let go of bella! everyone is happy! it's complete madness

Bella: the school has a strict no pets policy, unfortunately.
Edward: this rule does not include Rosalie's high horse. Which makes regular appearances.
Carlisle: I've left instructions for all of you while your mother and I go on our trip.
Emmett: mine just says 'Emmett no"
Carlisle: I want you to apply it to every situation possible
Bella, walking through the house with a camcorder: this is Alice. She has supported my dreams and stood by me no matter what. I love her very much
Bella, goes into the garage: this is Rosalie. We don't always see eye to eye but I think she's trying. And our bond has deepened over the years.
'Rosalie waves a wrench and keeps fixing her car'
Bella, pointing the camera at Emmet. Holding up the car for his wife: this is Emmett. He has rabies.
[Skipping stones on a lake]
Rosalie: what a beautiful evening
Emmett: 'chucks stone' take THAT you fuckin lake
Emmett, currently the subject of a nation wide manhunt for wrestling a bear at the zoo: Sometimes its nice to be wanted
Bella: Not by the fucking law it's not
Emmett ‘trying to explain how Alice got thrown through three cement walls and Jacob had to crawl out of a burning car’: So, we made a few small mistakes.
Edward: you said the words ‘Vampire demolition derby’ and didn’t think how there might be dangers associated
Emmett: Fine then, Lord Perfect. We made some medium sized mistakes
I feel like a lot of people think Carlisle is this boring old dad or whatever and it's like, sure in the context of humans. In the context of vampires though, he's super weird. He's the eccentric hippie living out on a commune or something, his lifestyle is just so out of the vampire mainstream and he's stuck with it even after hanging out with vampire royalty for two decades.
Dude has a house, and a job, and a wife (rather than just a mate), and kids, and uses his last name, doesn't drink human blood, and it all must just be so weird to all the other vampires, but to us it looks boring.
And I'm sure to SM it was normal and suburban and domestic and lovely but I'm reading it like "this is SO WEIRD!!" in an actually fascinating way because I had taken her 'most vampires are actually pretty feral' stuff literally (until we got to Breaking Dawn and met a bunch of them and they were all nice enough and knew how to drive and use computers as they hung out at the Cullen house), so I took the Cullens to be the absolute weirdos of the vampire world and it started with Carlisle.
Love to just imagine Alice explaining her visions of Carlisle/the Cullens to Jasper, who comes from the opposite vampire lifestyle and him just being like "that can't be right" and then they show up and it's just like she said and the Cullens are standing in their house in their nice clothes, Carlisle with his tie and doctor's bag, all looking at Jasper like he's the outlier and he's like "no you guys are the weird ones."
And Jasper's right.
Emmett on the phone: Hey dad can I borrow 5,000 bucks?
Carlisle, slightly curious: certainly! May I ask what for?
Emmett: an escape room
Edward, listening from across the room: What kind of escape room costs five thousand dollars?
Emmett: Jail
Emmett, addressing the camera like he’s in a documentary: Carlisle Cullen, noted doctor and vampire, has 51 distinct hugs. And I’ve taken the time to learn the subtle meaning and usage behind each one.
*camera zooms in on Carlisle giving Edward a hug*
Carlisle: You’ve done well son!
Emmett, without hesitation: Ah, number 33. The quick and soothing hug. With added encouragement to counterbalance moody tendencies. A true classic!
Jacob: In your educated opinion, how will I die?
Alice: Murder by an angry god. We never find the body. It is incinerated when you are smote by hellfire.
Jacob, nodding solemnly: That's a shame.
Seth, excitedly: What about me?
Alice You crave toast while taking a bath.
Seth, under his breath: I do love bath snacks.
Edward: Before you start hanging out with him, you should know that Emmett has no survival instincts. And his competitive streak will one day get him killed. Bella: That can’t be true. Edward: Watch this. Edward: Hey, Em! Race you downstairs! Emmett: *jumps out of the third story window* Bella: But that wont kill him Edward: Hey Em! Bet you cant juggle burning logs!? Emmett: *Already pulling out a lighter*
