let Bella have facial expressions

I watched the movies to pass time but I started my Twilight phase instead

i can’t stop thinking about that post saying milk is just filtered blood so i researched it and it’s actually true?? milk has all the nutrients but less iron so I’m just wondering if the vampires need the iron levels found in blood or just the nutrients, because if they only need the nutrients then they can definitely live off of milk

Me: [pacing] But Bella kissing Jacob back in Eclipse fascinates me because, paradoxically enough, it shows me just how Bella/Jacob would never work out in the long run. For one thing, she doesn’t respond to Jacob’s kiss until she senses his unbridled joy at his (mistaken) belief that she is kissing him back. And to me, that illustrates the difference between her love for Jacob versus her love for Edward. Bella still loves Edward, even when she 100% believes he no longer loves her or wants to be with her. Her love for him is not solely based on what Edward wants or desires (although those do greatly matter to her, of course). With Jacob, though, his needs and desires do matter, because to Bella Jacob is family first and a lover second. This means Bella subconsciously treats him as she does her parents: Taking care of him emotionally and putting his needs before her own. It’s Cinderbella all over again. But unlike them, Jacob is more capable and even has cool shifter powers that can defend her from any threats. Unlike Bella’s friends, Jacob notices things about her and cares about her. That is a massive upgrade from Bella’s current situation. Jacob also has the advantage over Edward in terms of being near contemporaries with Bella, of roughly the same social status. But it’s not enough. A human life with Jacob is still a human life: Cooking, cleaning, and eventually childrearing. That will worsen Bella’s parentification and I think deep down she knows it. I don’t know, does that make sense?

Therapist: Why can’t you just be normal?

Bella x Edward text posts

[hanneliza]

so excited for the animated midnight sun series that was announced today!! had to doodle bella and edward, can’t believe i’ve never drawn them before!

[rotteneldritchhorror]

never getting over my headcanon that vampires' sparkles can look like other gemstones or crystals other than crushed diamonds

Alice's skin in sunlight looks like sunlight reflecting off of peridot with fractals of green and golden light

Jasper's looks like amber and like he's encrusted with gold, so he almost looks like he's his own sun

Edward's of course is pure diamond and his skin reflects rainbows

Rosalie's looks like diamond and rose quartz, which almost gives her the look of twinkling flushed cheeks in sunlight

Emmett's looks like emerald and diamond and Rosalie likes to say he looks like an forest in the spring

Esme's looks like purple garnet

Carlisle's looks like moonstone and diamond

Bella's (once she turns) looks like sapphire

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.

Renesmee (the name) is the gift that keeps on giving because it gave us the time-honored tradition of calling Remember anything we want as long as it starts with an R. Do you think we would still have that if Bella had Edward Jacob???

big news for people who are me

[brontes]

rip to all the other stories with vampires in them but twilight’s vampires are the most thematically rich and compelling version out there send tweet

[brontes]

Okay so to elaborate, twilight’s vampires are the most interesting because they are the most human. They do not lose their reason, they are not given an inhuman rage, they still look passably human. The only things that change are the enhanced abilities, the immortality, and the blood thirst.

Given those circumstances, the chilling thing is that Carlisle was the only (known) vampire to attempt to live without killing humans. It poses the question of just how close is each of us to being a monstrosity? How easily can we justify evil in the face of the things we want?

Beyond that, in the reading, one almost forgets that the Cullens are vampires. They contrast between them and the other vampires Bella meets with is startling. It asks us if what makes the monster is not monstrous actions (most of the Cullens have made errors) but the lack of resistance to temptation? Is the monster osu temptation enough to taint the soul (as Edward thinks) or does the effort to overcome such an obstacle count as heroic (as Bella argues)?

It even asks us what it means to be human. Are the Cullens (though being not physically human) human in soul? Are the other vampires that prey on innocents? Are they to be held accountable for their actions, or give grace for circumstances beyond their control? What makes us deserving of grace?

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…

[its-the-fluorescentsss]

What if instead of showing Edward a mix of all their moments together at the end Bella said “I want to show you something” and Edward goes “what?” And it’s just Edward saying “it’s the fluorescents” HOW FUNNY WOULD THAT’VE BEEN EDWARD WOULD’VE BEEN SO EMBARRASSED
