another thing about twilight. why is it that bella never ever seems to care that the cullens — imo carlisle especially — only care about her literally because they love edward? like of course that is majority of in-law situations in life, like i know that. but bella is like “this is my family! this is where i belong and who i belong with!” and then they all just up and leave her the moment edward tells them to. carlisle especially only seems to care about her imo (beyond the fact that he cares for all human lives) because he cares about edward. idk i would feel some kind of way about the cullens if they literally took me in and then dropped me like a hot potato based off whatever edward felt on any given day.
in a way alice is better and in a way she’s worse on this front. like okay, she and bella are best friends, that much is true. one of the things i will give stephenie meyers (because she’s nowhere near as bad as people claim. stephen king has no business criticizing her when his stories are some of the worst i’ve ever encountered) is she does create and develop actual believable friendships and relationships. bella and alice are very close and lovey dovey. but that makes it worse imo when alice abandons her alongside edward. because her friendship with bella is literally contingent on edward.
but at the same time she does have an actual relationship with bella and you get that she wanted what edward thought was best for bella’s life and she loves her and her heart is in the right place and all that good stuff. but idk. for me, if i were in that situation, i wouldn’t have taken the cullens in as warmly again in eclipse. like bella is all like “my family! we’re all together again!” when in reality i, and i think anyone with enough self-esteem, would be much colder to them. more distant and less open. because even if she’s taken edward back — because really his side of the leaving fiasco is actually more understandable than the entire family’s ditching her and then wanting to act like nothing ever happened seven months later — his family still proved that she’s merely an extension of edward to them. they’re a family, they’ve been a family for around 75-100 years. they’ve been together, functioning as a family unit town to town since before her grandparents were born. like she’s just a modern teenage girl who the one unmarried brother fell in love with and brought along for the ride. like they all abandoned her and had the whole thing with edward/alice/cliff diving/volturi not occurred then the entire family would have just never contacted her again in her life. idk. i get the impression more so from carlisle than any of the others but bella’s whole open heart, open arms thing is sadly pathetic. because she’s clinging to a family that could take or leave her at a moment’s notice.
and honestly some lots may disagree but i do highkey appreciate the fact that stephenie meyers tried to rectify a lot of people’s criticisms with bella, in midnight sun. like she tried to retroactively make it seem like a lot of the “bella is a parentified child and she’s so mature because she doesn’t mind it at all” “bella takes care of her parents because she’s old for her age” was just a first person character blindness on bella’s part and it was actually really messed up in edward’s eyes the way her parents treated her and how it shaped her personality. but personally i wish SM would have included edward realizing bella has a really low self-esteem and that’s why she takes whatever kind of love people offer her without complaint and resentment even after they’ve done her dirty, not because “the cullens are so amazing” and “i’m so lucky to belong with them!”

Pressing a finger to his lips he beckoned you into silence, tugging himself through the window of your bedroom. A silent squeal left your lips, eyes bright and a wide, happy smile plastered upon your lips as you bounded over to him. You wrapped your arms around his waist, bouncing on your feet as he chuckled at your obvious excitement.
“Hello, darling.”
“Hi!!” You momentarily forgot his warning, covering your mouth in embarrassment and squaring your shoulders for a moment when he hissed at you. Your body was tense as you watched your mate listening for any sound of movement from your sleeping family. When he heard none, his eyes moved back to you, sending a scolding look.
Demetri sighed at the lopsided smile you gave him, unable to be mad at you for more than a second whilst he wrapped you in his hold, humming proudly as you curled into him and allowed him to brush his hand up and down the back of your head affectionately.
“What am I going to do with you, you little brat?” Face flushing at his words you looked to the floor, and he smiled. “Oh? You like when I call you that? My bratty girl.”
He watched your face flush a deeper crimson, attempting to bury your face in his chest to seek some sort of protection from his smug grin. He didn’t allow you to, pulling you away to brush a leather clad finger down the side of your face. As you felt the material glide across your heated skin you whined, glaring at the leather that restricted you from the feel of your mate and Demetri laughed again. Leaning down, he gave you a look of faux disappointment.
“What have I told you about those little whiny noises you make…?”
Not allowing you to answer he pressed a deep kiss to your lips, tongue instantly prodding at your closed lips. Parting then at his desire, he deepened the kiss a little more until you were whining once again. His hand - still covered but the cool leather of his glove - now brushed the hair back which had fallen over your shoulder, now draped over your collarbone. You huffed in annoyance and pulled away to make quick work of tugging the glove off. You grabbed his hand, making a move to pull at the material before he was growling at you menacingly. You pouted up at him.
“Uh-uh, sweet girl.” Confusion washed over you until the vampire lifted his hand to your mouth, eyes prompting you to tug it off with your teeth. “Go ahead, baby.”
You kept your eyes on his as you leaned forward, teeth stroking against the material before you bit down on it gently. As sensually as you could, you slowly tugged it off, eyes remaining on his the entire time. He watched you carefully, arousal instantly washing over him at feel of your lips, and he feverishly tugged the other off himself and threw it to the side, taking the other from your hands to give it the same treatment. Grabbing your hips and slamming his lips onto yours, he kissed you as if you might disappear from his arms.
With a whimper you kissed back, tongue brushing against his own. It wasn’t long before he was kissing down your neck, kneeling in front you to kiss the entire way down your body before leaning back up to kiss your lips again.
“Fuck-“ He whined against your lips, pressing another desperate peck against them before sucking your bottom lip into his mouth. Fleetingly pulling away, he admired you for a moment, pressing another soft kiss to your thigh. “You’re so beautiful - my beautiful girl.”
You looked down at him, a soft, loving look that could’ve brought him to his knees instantly if he wasn’t already kneeling in front of you. You sighed with a content smile.
“I love you, Demi…”
He smirked.
“I love you so much more, my darling. Though…perhaps you can show me just how much you love me, hm..?”
Oh…

Would Bella still have joined the Cullens if they'd been a cult instead of being vampires? Bella is still depressed, the Cullens maintain their wealth, home, looks (if we're going off how human they looked in the films), and foster/adopted backstory, except maybe Carlisle believes in some superior being and he's talked his family into following it as well. I've always thought the Cullens were a bit cult-like in that they were closed off not only from the human world, but also most vampires, and book Carlisle had such extreme views compared to other vampires. If Bella and Edward had still struck up a relationship, would Bella have heard cult and gone "yep, that's cool Edward, love ya" as much as she did with everything else in the films?
Bella and Cullenism. What attracts Bella to Edward.
Honestly? No, I don't think so, and it's not because Bella's not any less susceptible than anyone else to being indoctrinated into a cult.
The thing about the movies is they're talking about completely different characters (and it doesn't actually make any sense). In the books, Bella's specifically interested in them because they look so inhuman and beautiful. They're not just beautiful, they're stupid unbelievably beautiful and strange looking. They're far beyond the realm of ordinary.
If they're just Hollywood hot I just don't see that drawing Bella in and would probably be a turn off for her as she'd assume they're conceited rich people. Here the wealth would be a turn off because with the Cullens as vampires, it becomes a weird part of their vampire mystique, but as humans Bella has issues when it comes to money and both a) people having it b) admitting she wants it herself. Note Bella never actively pursues money and tries to reject gifts that are too extravagant before she's turned, it's just that becoming a vampire also means being stupid rich so then it's fine to wear Chanel to a creepy parking garage where you meet Saul Goodman.
Any hint of religion is also a turnoff, as Bella canonically is extremely atheist. She doesn't really give Carlisle beef in the books or films for being a devout Christian, it's sort of a "you do you man" (also helping that Carlisle really doesn't go around flaunting it that much with the odd exception of his giant crucifix decoration), but she also doesn't get it and doesn't want to get it. Weird stupid good looking blonde Hollywood rich people wanting her to believe in giant space aliens would have her very unthrilled with all of them and revert back to "wow, this Edward guy sucks".
Add onto that that she would never be interested in Edward in the first place and vice versa. Edward presumably isn't acting like a beautiful inhuman lunatic around her (crushing cars and teleporting across parking lots) and Bella doesn't smell delicious. Bella probably sticks to her first impression after Biology if he still has a similar meltdown "wow, hot but weird and kind of mean".

as someone who has moved to a smaller city (30K people in total) for grad school, i would like to say twilight is wrong. the smaller the population the more people know you. i went to a cafe twice and they already know my order. 1000% everyone in forks knows the cullens are vampires and are just too entertained by how bad they are at acting normal to break it to them

what makes me actually boil with rage is the way it’s framed as though jacob & the cullens have an even rivalry and like, he hates them just as much as they hate him, but like… jacob is a lower class kid who lives on the rez, the cullens live in a plantation home on private property. jacob calling alice a leech is an insult, but alice calling him a mongrel calls into power and privilege, ya know. like am i supposed to honestly think jake making blonde jokes to rosalie (which is certainly sexist and uncalled for) is on the same level as her serving him food in a dog dish? him seeing the cullens as bloodsuckers and murderers is just like, incorrect and unfair, but them seeing him as uncivilized and over-aggressive has implications deeply rooted in the oppression of his people
