Do you ever think about how, because mirrors weren’t commonplace until the industrial revolution, Jasper and Carlisle don’t remember what they look like? That Jasper doesn’t know he had scars before? From the time his mule kicked him in the shin, and when he fell out of a tree rescuing his sister, and twice getting shanked by a bayonet. That he preferred wearing his hair shorter, but the war didn’t afford time for barbers?

That Carlisle doesn’t remember that a guy knocked him out at a bar and his nose healed out of joint? That he assumes his teeth were crooked but they weren’t, and that people used to say he had his mother’s smile?

That in the faintest edges of their minds, they recall others commenting how soulful their eyes were, and that’s the only reason at all they know their color?

But it’s just words, “brown”, “blue”…

…and that in the end, they don’t remember?

“It was not going to be the end of the world. Just the end of the Cullens. The end of Edward, the end of me. I preferred it that way…”

I was a quick-wit boy, diving too deep for coins, all of your street light eyes wide on my plastic toys. Then when the cops closed the fair, I cut my long baby hair, stole me a dog-eared map and called for you everywhere. Have I found you? Flightless bird, jealous, weeping or lost you, american mouth, big pill looming.

i hate you romantically involved characters who talk to each other like they’re in a couples counseling session, i hate you watering down of the word toxic, i hate you plot twists where the male love interest is actually a villain because see, silly girl? in the REAL world guys like that are DANGEROUS, i hate you relationship therapist breaks down movie couple’s relationship videos, i hate you “romeo and juliet were just stupid horny teenagers” “belle had stockholm syndrome” “wuthering heights isn’t romantic” hot takes, i hate you sanitization of romance in fiction

critical media analysis is good and important but i think it’s also good and important to enjoy the stupidest shittiest piece of media ever

“Is it wrong to like a token of me that you show everyone?”

“This isn’t the token I’d like to carry around.” His hands were moving the blankets from around her until one settled under her knees, the other at the small of her back. He slowly lifted her as Bella tried to argue.

“Your true nature isn’t one that scares me, Jasper. I accepted what you were a long time ago. Every time I see the red in your eyes—I see myself.”
