I saw your tags on the other post and pls rant about Jessica Stanley being the main character. Kthankbye ✌🏻

I was trying to find a post on my blog that imagined Jessica as the Main character Twilight.

But frankly it all boils down to Smeyer using Bella as a self insert. Now a lot of people hate that criticism, but it’s not a criticism rather than a statement of fact. Her crime isn’t basing a character on herself (or a young version of herself) it’s refusing to kill her darlings. Bella’s book description is the same description of Stephenie Meyer. (See @panlight or @fuckmeyer for more information)

As for Jessica, it’s hard to figure out what Bellas (and Stephenies) beef with Jessica as a character. I would argue because we don’t get an inkling of how Bella’s friend group was in Arizona (or if she had many friends) that Jessica is another character foil how girls shouldn’t (I will link that post here) act. Of course this is a subconscious point that the narrative makes.

Jessica is this determined high schooler who likes boys (as far as we know) who is focused on her grades but is a bit of a gossip. At least from Bella’s prespective. Also, Bella is an unreliable narrator although the narrative and the author don’t treat her as such.

I think Jessica Stanley makes more sense as the main character mostly because she has more to lose than Bella, a character who doesn’t want to make connections and is only in town because of her self sacrificing mindset. (I will not go into Bella’s mother mostly because my interpretation is that she (her mother) only got worse because the narrative needed her to and then it didn’t really matter because she got to keep her family around anyway). (Also mini rant- It’s strange that a girl who was born in that town and spent summers there until she was 13 Doesn’t know any other teenagers before moving back there especially being the Chief’s daughter. I would assume she would know everyone since she wouldn’t have been left home alone. Whatever Steph)

Jessica has a family. She’s grown up in the town. She has worked so hard for her grades. It would be interesting to see all of that come crashing down because of her involvement with vampires.

@humans4vampires just made a post pointing out the adrenaline caused by Edward’s presence and its masking via Bella’s attraction to Edward. Who’s to say that couldn’t happen to Jessica in their initial meeting.

The narrative would be the Cullens moving to Forks. Jessica gets rejected by Edward. Yes, she’s heartbroken by it, but that’s the new boys problem she’s on a mission to get all A’s. Her tight knit friend group keeps her distracted. Then one day, she’s walking around in the woods taking a break from her studies or just for some quiet time and comes across Edward hunting and covered in blood.

Edward, of course, hearing her thoughts, panics. They just moved to Forks. He can’t just let her get away, but she’s well known in the town. It’s small. He can’t kill her. So (like a dingus), he runs off.

Jessica having seen something so frightening rushes home to calm down, and she plays sick for the next week.

Anyway, I just think Jessica has more to lose, and it will be real push and pull of narrative as she is not only protecting this secret from the rest of her friends. She has to get through high school without dying until she realizes that she won’t be able to live her dreams because she will be a vampire or be killed.

#twilight renaissance #twilight saga #twilight #jessica stanley #pretty much tl:dr: the narrative tension and the threat of being a vampire and sacrifice and even the Romeo and Juliet aspects #make more sense with there's tension and both parties have to lose something #Jessica has to fight to give up her old life and what she knows and loves #Edward will have to read beyond people's surface thoughts to actually make connections #Bella on the other hand doesn't sacrifice anything physically emotionally or mentally #I guess you can argue her agency and development but that's because of weird lore not something she is actively willing to give or keep #everything is a reward for bella #Jessica would have to actually make connections with Cullens and excuse her new erratic behavior to protect the cullens secret #I could even see Edward threatening her at first and afterward growing close to where she does want to protect him despite being in danger #Also Jessica ruining her perfect attendance record is so heartbreaking for her

Jessica Stanley and Twilight

Okay, so I recently made a post about lol what if Mike Newton and Bella randomly got together during Twilight wouldn't that be funny and now I suddenly can't stop thinking about the reverse.

Like, what if Edward for, seemingly no reason, fell in love with JESSICA. Right in the middle. I know he can't stand her, I haven't read Midnight Sun but from what I hear he's not terribly complimentary to her general vibe, and I know she's supposed to be a mean girl or something but idk I just think it's funny.

Picture it: the whole plot happens, Bella comes to school, Edward is shaking and spitting bc of how crazy it is that a teenager goes to high school, Bella even falls in love with him, but then Edward inexplicably falls for JESSICA. They've been bonding while he's been attempting to avoid Bella (and his family bc they're pissed he wants to turn her into a human piñata) and they just keep growing on each other? They keep running into each other during class and stuff. He can't stand her/her thoughts but they get to talking anyway bc circumstance. He mentions a book he likes and he's surprised to see she actually reads it. She calls him out on his weirdness with an Jessica-like, boldly tactless quality Edward's charmed by. He calls her out on her meaner tendencies with an Edward-like quiet weirdness she's receptive towards. She's arrogant enough to ask him out and he, for some reason, accepts? They like, go bowling and Ed actually has a good time for some reason. Jessica benefits from being around someone so unlike her, Ed benefits from being around someone so unlike him, they get along bc they're both awful, dramatic weirdos, but it's still JESSICA.

the whole plot still happens but it's JESSICA in the spotlight instead of our favorite wet rag Bella. Edward is trying to tell Jessica he's a vamp and she's like "bullshit! ugh, no way." Finally figures it out and is like "no way, shut up!" She's still the valedictorian and shops and hangs out with her friends except now they have to accept that never-blinks Edward is There Too. Bella just kinda wanders around Forks and hangs out with her dad. Edward's weird insistence on maybe killing the new girl is never brought up again. Everyone forgets. Evil tracker vampire gets pepper sprayed bc Jessica carries it in her purse. They're the most annoying couple you'll ever meet. Alice is REELING.

#twilight renaissance #twilight #honestly they'd be that high school couple that's always fighting lol #edward cullen #twilight headcanon #Ed carries her and her friends purses when they go prom dress shopping. #this might be a terrible idea but i thought it was funny #jessica stanley

Why didn’t Bella have any of her human friends as bridesmaids?

They were never that close. Jessica for a time thought they were, but to Bella they were never more than acquaintances you may eat lunch with but not much more than that. It speaks volumes that Bella liked Angela best because Angela could be trusted not to start asking personal questions such as "How are you?" (or even talk to Bella at all)

"That's Edward. He's gorgeous of course, but don't waste your time. He doesn't date. Apparently none of the girls here are good -looking enough for him."

This is what Jessica was doing in school and that’s why Edward was a hater. He can’t handle that many dicks at once. Weak

If I said Jessica Stanley and Mike Newton weren’t that bad, y’all gonna be mad?👀

Let’s really talk about this though. Edward and Bella judge these two so harshly for being normal teenagers. Jessica likes to gossip, she likes fashion, she thinks Edward is cute, she doesn’t forgive Bella when she bounces and I feel like all of that is valid. Mike thinks Bella is cute and Edward is a weirdo and that’s also valid, but the two of them act like they’re terrible sinners and it’s so odd to me. How do you read my mind then get mad when it’s a bunch of static noise? Bella wants to be not like other girls and Edward is old as shit, OF COURSE you won’t think like them. Their only crime is acting and thinking like teenagers and it’s weird Stephanie got so much beef with Jess and we’re expected to hate her too.
