Happy pride to those 5 seconds where Charlie Swan thought Jacob was coming out to him in the most insane way possible

edward and bella's relationship is so normie but also forbidden, and it's toxic but at the same time it's healthy, it's going against your nature but finding where you were meant to be, it's about finding a love that brings you peace but that doesn't stop it from being unhinged, it's an embodiment of purity while still being horny, and y'all expect me to hate it???

We sense it now, we feel the threat in our blood. Something terrible is coming. And we must all be ready. All of us.

every woman I know has a story about a guy friend whose started acting weird after she rejected him romantically and/or started dating some other guy, but nooooooo with jacob black the only explanation is that the author MADE him act that way to make edward look like the better option

[edwardsvirtue]

also. why are we talking about stephenie meyer like she’s some sort of evil genius and not just the author of a fictional story.

charlie swan i don’t want to have to kill you with my mind but what do you mean that 17 year old bella gets home from school every day, cooks elaborate dinners, DOES THE DISHES ON HER OWN, and THEN does her homework all while you drink a beer and watch tv? and on the weekend she cleans the house by herself? i’m shooting you with lasers and dark magic spells

Support my school fundraiser at Barnes & Noble

Give yourself the excuse to buy new books!

Shop on Barnes and Noble's website between April 10-19 and put in the code 12945036 when you check out. Or if you are in the area stop in the Woodbury, MN location between April 10-14. Some things like gift cards, video games, and ebooks don't apply to the fundraiser. But then 5-10% of what is sold comes back to my lovely school.

This fundraiser is so important this year because of the ICE Surge in the Twin Cities our original fundraiser ideas fell through because my school transitioned to online classes for like, 6 weeks. Anyway, I'll be eternally grateful for your support. 💕

[Obligatory “smeyer sucks but she made some fun decisions” disclaimer] but it would have been super easy for smeyer to go “lol yeah the Cullens are behind with tech because they’re Old and their minds are frozen” but instead she went “You know what? These rich pricks never sleep and they have unlimited funds. They are ahead of the curve when it comes to technology and modern amenities”. That took chutzpah

Meanwhile, Actual Millennial Bella Swan is content with a computer that’s been wheezing its last since 1995, and expresses zero desire for a cell phone. And it fits her character just fine. Love to see a good trope subversion

Jacob: feel that? Flesh and blood and warmth

Bella: that is the exact opposite of all my kinks

Something I think about a lot is how carefully SM tried to make it so that Bella couldn't really be 'blamed' for anything. I'm not sure I'm articulating that right. But it came up the other day with the ask about the top five things that don't make sense and the tent scene.

It seems to me that SM found herself surprisingly interested in the Jacob/Bella dynamic. That was never part of her original plan; remember, she wrote Twilight and then Forever Dawn (which was basically had all the same plot points as Breaking Dawn eventually did). She had already written E/B's wedding, birth of Renesmee, Bella being a vampire. Jacob was just a family friend with a minor crush. But it's pretty clear he took on a life of his own in the middle books that SM had not originally planned for and my theory has always been that SM liked the idea of Jacob/Bella but not as much as the Edward/Bella endgame she had literally already written. So what to do? She wants them to kiss, so she makes Jacob force himself on Bella so that Bella is blameless. She wants them to snuggle, so she puts them in a cold tent where Bella literally needs Jacob's body heat so Bella is blameless. She wants them to kiss again, so Jacob threatens getting himself killed, so Bella is blameless.

And none of the Cullens seem at all bothered by whatever is going on with her and Jacob, and they don't have the details because Alice can't see him. It would be natural for some of them to be like, "uhhhhh, what? Is she cheating on Edward?" but no! She is innocent and blameless and they all (except Rosalie) adore her! Part of the family already! Don't even worry about it! Alice even says something like "wow it must be hard to have two good options" like she is a neutral observer and one of the options isn't her brother. They aren't even bothered by her making Edward, the only mind-reader and the only one who can communicate with the wolves when they are in wolf form, sit out the fight to the death that their relationship caused. They're cool with it. Because no one can resent Bella for anything, and if they do, they're bad.

And then we have Breaking Dawn. Bella's been begging for vampirism for awhile now, but maybe wanting immortality and power and beauty might be selfish? Can't have that. She's dying in childbirth. Now it's not just an emergency transformation to save her life, she's sacrificing herself for someone else. She's absolved, and so is Edward.

Even with silly stuff, like the clothes and parities. It might be selfish of Bella to want those things, so she doesn't, but Alice just gives them to her anyway.

It's okay for your protagonist to be selfish sometimes! It's okay for them to be blamed for stuff! Let Bella be messy and take the blame! It's okay.
