Anytime a girl is all about a guy and loses herself in the process, it's a mistake. Anytime writers lean into that, it's a problem.

thinking about the twilight au where instead of forcing those old ass vamps to go to high school forever they all just pretend to be recently graduated and get jobs. jasper has to seek jobs where he's not in direct contact with many humans, like projection booth of a movie theater. edward sometimes gets a hospital job with carlisle. rosalie works with cars, and emmett goes for something like construction and easily bonds with the other guys. but alice likes the variety and has tried anything from clothing stores, flower shops to hair salons, and is usually the one who'll be charismatic enough to get a few promotions in the short time they're in that city for. when she suggested fortune telling at the local carnival no one in the family was amused

If Edward and Bella had a son instead of Renesmee, I'm opting to ignore the "Edward if it's a boy" line in favor of keeping the horrors alive and well with the equally questionable vampire-human hellchild Charlisle Cullen-Swan

#I just think it'd be funny #Edward Cullen #Bella Swan #and sweet horrific baby Charlisle #(not charlie x carlisle but adjacent) #Twilight #(I wasn't planning on Twilightposting but little Charlisle hit me like a bus)

People say twilight is anti-feminist but Edward is THE feminist ally like he killed and ate rapists and is pro-abortion like what else could you want

I hate the whole Renesmee thing as much as anybody, but honestly I wouldn’t mind Bella and Edward having a baby if it was written properly. No super-fast aging, no imprinting, no CGI infant. 

It doesn’t really make much sense for Bella to have a child, true, but I kind of understand the deeper meaning behind that part of the storyline. 

Like, obviously part of why Stephenie Meyer wrote it was because she’s a Mormon, but also I think it kind of ties in with Edward and Rosalie’s hatred of vampirism. Rosalie says that she hates her “life” because “we'll always be this... Frozen... Never moving forward.” Vampires are stuck in time, forever the age they were turned at, and in the case of the Cullen kids, literally in high school for eternity. They don’t have the ability to create life, only to end it. Edward believes he has no soul and that nothing good can ever come from him. So for Bella and Edward to have a child is kind of special, not just because it’s rare for a vampire and a human to have a kid but also because it gives them a future that isn’t just doing the same stuff every day. It breaks them from their cycle. 

But of course, Renesmee’s rapid aging ruins this, because Edward and Bella miss out on all the parenting bullshit that normal humans have to deal with. Smeyer was so determined to get Jake a girlfriend that she completely forgot why she gave Bellward a kid in the first place.

thinking about how in the five years between me finishing high school and me finishing university, our entire knowledge of the tree of life changed? Like, we didn't have domains when I was learning about it, and now we have the macroclades? And there's way more elements on the periodic table since I got out of chem 2!!

And my point is, if you're an immortal vampire and suddenly the human genome is sequenced and science/tech progresses so fast that the entire curriculum rearranges every decade... And someone will just teach it to you in digestible chunks... it's a mild justification for why the cullens would spend a hundred years redoing high school

thinking abt how edward was so bitchless for the past 100 years that he thought the key to a girl's heart was fucking leaving her

[what-do-1000-swords-look-like]

So this is random but one of the things I love about Bill Condon as one of the Twilight directors is I feel like he upped everybody's game when he came onto the project. Not only did we get better performances out of the actors but we also got some things that weren't shown earlier or were but weren't really focused on too much (or not in the right way).

Case in point, the scene where Rosalie and Emmett go to find Garrett. Usually when we see the Cullens it's from Bella's pov or related to her in some way. They're seen as the good guys. Or if they're facing insurmountable odds like in New Moon with the Volturi and the innocent people being led to their deaths, they can't be expected to do anything. Here, Rosalie and Emmett aren't facing those odds but they don't do anything except look away when Garrett continues killing his victim. You also see the difference in Rosalie's and Emmett's reactions. Rosalie is not a fan as she shouldn't be and Emmett looks semi-amused even if he really isn't.

This is immediately followed up by the scene where Jacob and Bella stare around the Cullens house at the newcomers with red eyes. We get Bella's voiceover talking about how Renesmee is winning over every one of them and who is there. But we not only have Rosalie holding onto Renesmee while she's using her power with Garrett (which is very telling about how much Rosalie doesn't trust him I think) but we also see Jacob scanning the room and Bella taking notice. Bella remarks that their thirst for human blood makes the situation complicated and then says "The nomads Rosalie and Emmett sent were even more unpredictable."

Then: "A lot of red eyes around here." Bella: "They promised they wouldn't hunt in the area." Jacob: "But they'll feed somewhere."

And then it goes into the scene where another young Quileute boy turns into a werewolf and Bella's voiceover is saying it's happening more and more now due to the large vampire presence.

And this is just brilliant I think because it's multi-layered. The Cullens are set apart from the red-eyes vampires but it's not giving them a pass either besides their different lifestyles. It's also showing how selfish all of this really is. Like yes, we want the protagonist Bella and her family to be safe, but ultimately this is all happening because of her and the choices she made.

They even go so far as to show the difference in Carlisle and Esme's interaction with Benjamin and his coven compared to Rosalie and Emmett's with Garrett. Carlisle and Esme ask Maggie and her coven, though we don't see this convo but in the house they're separate from the Nomads. And then they have a similar setup for the scene of Garrett's acquiring compared to what happens when Aro and company catch up to Toshiro that Carlisle had been trying to ask to join them and what happens to him.

Not to mention Jacob was the first to stand to join the fight when Edward asks. You can say that's due to his imprint on Renesmee, but it's also to show yet again who are the real good guys when it comes to the vampires. Once he does, only then do others stand up and join as well (after Bella does to show the Cullens and the Packs are together).

The vampires aren't the good guys. Even the veggie ones. And that was absolutely driven home here in this sequence. And that to me is just absolutely fascinating.

Not saying Stephenie Meyer didn't cover some of this in the book (I haven't read it in a long time so I don't really remember). Not taking away credit from Melissa Rosenberg who wrote the screenplay but she wrote all five films and this is the first time I've seen a director really able to show what's really underneath Bella's choices in a way that you can't ignore it or sweep it under the epic romance rug. So that's why I'm saying Bill Condon was brilliant and I'm glad he was the one to steer the Saga into its close.

And I love it when directors are able to accomplish shit like that.

I apologize in advance for twilightposting but like. So much of the bad faith criticism of the plot can be shut down by reminding yourself bella is a mentally ill teenager. 'Why's she dating a weird old man?' have you never met an insecure 17 year old? 'why's she doing all this stupid shit?' have you never met... a 17 year old?' Not that the plot deals with this especially well but like. there's no denying that this is a mentally unwell teenager and so she is going to make mentally unwell choices.

#also fuck should i know how well the plot deals with it my knowledge of twilight is limited to the first movie. a manga adaptation i got as #a very missed 9th bday present. and bits and pieces of the later movies and first book. #mine. #twilight
