Annnd *scene*

I work at a drug addiction counseling center. A ton of my clients have, at one time or another, sold their food stamps. This is basically exactly what the GOP is afraid of, right? Drug addicts selling their food stamps.

I have learned, now, to ask them WHY they sold their food stamps. Here is an incomplete list of the answers:

- I need tampons, and you can’t buy them with foodstamps

- See above RE: toilet paper

- I was living in a hotel with no kitchen then. I had to buy pre-prepared food

- The homeless shelter won’t let me keep food in my locker or room, so I have to buy pre-prepared food (Yes, really)

- I had to make rent

- My sister had to make rent

- My son had to make rent

- I needed co-pays to get my medication or I’ll die

- I needed co-pays to get my medication or I’ll loose control of my mental health

But the absolute most common form of food stamp fraud I see? Giving away food stamps to other family members who get no food stamps or insufficient food stamps to feed their families. I see that every month. People glassy eyed and hungry because they gave away their food to their adult kids, their grand kids, cousins, siblings etc.

GET YOURS HERE (✪ω✪)

Edward is legitimately concerned for her safety so he leaves her in NM, and then he hides information from her in Eclipse- which causes her to have a panic attack when Jacob tells her anyways which demonstrates he was justified in not telling her. He doesn’t want her going to see Jacob, which is 18% because he’s jealous and 82% because they (the Cullens) literally cannot protect her over the boundary line and once Jacob proves he can Edward’s like bye have fun please be safe call if you need me, and she does. Which brings me to why she calls. She punches him in the face for forcing a kiss on her. And real quick, can we talk about how her dad fucking laughed? He LAUGHED and his DAUGHTER getting sexually assaulted by her friend because he ships them. Fuck him and anyone who’s done that or shipped that- you suck, apologize immediately.

Jacob Black is the epitome of a white boi™️ (though he’s native american): He’s literally a child??? She seems him as a child??? He’s two years younger than her and they’re childhood friends (kind of) and when Ed leaves, he’s left to help pick up her pieces and he does a good job, except encouraging her adrenaline cravings and giving her the dangerous idea to JUMP OFF A CLIFF (I get that wasn’t his intention but,,, she wouldn’t have done it randomly had she not known about cliff diving) and at the end of New Moon when the Cullen’s come back he basically says fuck you to Bella, AND TELLS HER DAD ABOUT THE MOTORCYCLE TO GET HER GROUNDED SO SHE CANT SEE EDWARD. Abusive? I think the fuck so !!! (And sure you can compare that, loosely, to when Ed took the battery out of her car so she couldn’t run off and see Jacob “because it’s too dangerous” but she forgave him immediately, one, and two, it affected her for,,, one night?? not a month+???) And then in Eclipse he sends her these angsty ass responses to her note to make her feel bad, encourages her to come to the res without talking to Ed and, yes, he’s not her father, but they’re living in a really dangerous world?? and he’s literally the love of her life and sworn protector he’s violently uncomfortable with her going somewhere he can’t save her so like,,, she should really be more considerate of his feelings throughout the entire series but 🤷‍♀️ go off I guess. AND THEN this is the part that sparked this rant: After hearing they’re engaged, Jacob tells Bella he’s going to kill himself in battle if she doesn’t prove she loves him so he FORCES her to kiss him, and she hates every second of it and is trying to pull away and he forces himself on her, and after he leaves, she’s crying? And thinks it’s her fault? What the fuck?

So in conclusion, Edward demonstrates good intentions that we, as mortals not living in Bella Swan’s shoes, can barely understand, and Bella- who seriously has a death wish- can barely understand herself which is so fucking evident when they get engaged because he literally won’t have sex until marriage (and i get that that’s tech sexist propaganda but like he’s from the 1910’s) so he’s not using her- he ALWAYS gave her a choice to leave. He always gave her a choice to choose Jacob. He wanted her to be without him even though it would kill him because it’s safer for her. And Jacob, from minute one, has only ever been an abusive piece of shit who thinks he’s entitled to Bella’s body and affections because they’re/were friends. Also, a tangent: Tyler and Mike, the two boys who asked her to the dance in the first book, were A LOT but they backed off. Mike pined after her literally like a puppy, cannonly, and he BEFRIENDS EDWARD. BECAUSE THATS WHO SHE CHOSE. SHE CHOSE EDWARD OVER HIM. THEY BECOME FRIENDS. So, in conclusion: fuck Jacob Black, everything he stands for.

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk, my next one features why imprinting on a young child is NOT creepy (though unconventional) except for Jacob because he’s a terrible person who threw a hissy fit when Bella and Ed got married and planned on having sex, because he believes as long as her hearts still beating, she’s his, and that was literally stated in the books. And he thinks that the production of their love belongs to him because Bella still owes him for not satisfying his pre-pubescent obsession with a girl in love with someone else.
