Going back to my roots (reading Twilight fanfic)

I can never take this scene seriously like at all.

Bella Swan? Nah, thats Biker Dawn, contender on a lesbian dating show.

LIKE SHE LOOKS SO DIFFERENT AND OUT OF CHARACTER HERE HELLO?

if smeyer thought abt it thoroughly for even a second, twilight could’ve been such a phenomenal series

instead I’m picking up the crumbs that work for me and making bread w it

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.

I hate it when people trashtalk Twilight and they clearly don't know anything about what they're saying. Learn the lore and THEN trashtalk it properly

I hate the cullens so much why would they have all these vampires meet at their house in forks when they KNOW it’s making more kids phase into wolves even kids as young as 12 years old they could have gathered ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD and not only that but carlisle says THEY’LL KEEP MOVING BACK TO FORKS

I would have grinned and bore the whole pregnancy plotline in Breaking Dawn if Emmett would have turned to Edward and said, “You’ve sat through sex ed how many times and you didn’t think to use a condom? Our ‘dad’ is a doctor. You’re a doctor.”

I’m mostly obsessed with Twilight cause the potential haunts the fuck out of me

[fuckmeyer]

tbh i think Bella & Edward's marriage is only happy and romantic for young people who don't know yet what a happy marriage looks like? which sounds kinda harsh since they're not unhappy, but...

there's an element of friendship that's missing. a deepening intimacy that comes with being newlyweds. constantly having sex is a stereotype & a fraction of what married life entails! i wish they had come back from their honeymoon with inside jokes and funny stories. i wish we'd seen them bickering over their idiosyncrasies as they adjust to living together. like. if you're going to write Twilight as a cozy paranormal romance, why cut out the coziest part of marriage?

beneath it all, what bothers me is that we never really get this emotional payoff. Edward & Bella struggle with their attraction, struggle to stay together despite the danger, struggle through their own insecurities and physical relationship... but there's no real reward for the reader after Bella becomes a vampire. we go right from the wedding to Bella getting pregnant, a possible war with the wolves, demon baby, then a confrontation with the Volturi.

when do we see them really be comfortable with each other as partners? the few lines we get of them reading together or discussing the plot don't feel enough for a series that uniquely prioritizes the "slice of life" aesthetic. why don't we see them take up new hobbies? or having discussions that would have been impossible for their unmarried virgin selves? when marriage goes symbolically hand-in-hand with flawless immortality, how come we don't get to learn what it means to to be married to your best friend forever?

[nobodysprobablysimplethoughts]

as often I think Twilight is one of those works where the potential is bigger than the actual story. It’s flawed in this particular way where it is good enough to engage with, enjoy the characters, the story etc but also bad enough that you want to build upon it, improve it, change it. I think this precise balance is exactly what makes a fandom live for so long.

Forget Woodz, Doyoung and Sungkyu when?

Infinite took a 5 year break to go through the enlistment period, but they have regained their sales numbers. All members left Woolim and joined the company opened by Sungkyu for the group's activities (they do solos separately, in other companies). Hm, a case to study.
