without the dark

wedding dresses are white specifically so that if the bride goes axe-crazy you can rest assured you will see the blood stains all over her and it'll be sick as fuck

i've said it before but it will forever and always make me insane that jacob's ending is to join the cullens for the sake of bella not having to give anything up. they find out jake will be immortal & tied to renesmee forever, so bella gets to smile & say "my family is finally complete! ^-^" but jake already HAS a family. he has a father and 2 sisters. quil, embry, seth and sam are like his brothers. jacob and leah were planning to run away together. he's always been welcome in emily's home, sue has been a family friend since before his birth. bella abandons her mortality by choice because she feels no connection to the people around her, but jacob has really strong bonds. it's clear that every character we meet in la push is like family to him, he's an active member of the community. jake would've graduated high school and been a mechanic, would've grown into a young man. a good friend, a fun uncle, a present son. he's set up to have such a rich life. and he's just magically compelled to give that up. beyond his control, he loses sight of everything, because his high school crush's baby is now the singular most important thing to him. he's perpetually 18 with his perpetually 18 year old girlfriend, running around vancouver or alaska or wherever with the girl who friendzoned him at 16 & her in-laws (who were antagonistic to him for months). and i'm just supposed to say omg yay now he doesn't have to let go of bella! everyone is happy! it's complete madness

this is my first time in the pacific northwest. we drove through a forest so wet and foggy you couldn’t see the bends in the road ten yards ahead of you and it straight up felt like a horror game until we emerged into a sunny valley with a rainbow over it and then we went to a taco bell and in it there was a guy dressed like a hot dog and a guy dressed like hamburger. is it all like this

say whatever you want about twilight movies but the first movie being nearly completely in cool tones while new moon is completely in warm tones to represent the difference between edward and jacob aka vampire vs werewolf was so peak. the cool tones in twilight grouped bella with the cullens since she was pale and looked kind of dead, but the warm tones in new moon showed the great contrast between how unlike humans cullens were, and how bella, with her little tanned, blushing face, didn't belong to them. Not yet, at least.

Eclipse AU where Victoria turns Charlie instead of Riley. She convinces him to kill the Cullens because look Chief Swan, look how they’ve been preying on your little girl. She is all but being groomed to be a corpse bride. She uses his love for Bella and his unbridled newborn rage all while secretly planning on killing Bella herself when Charlie has cleared the others out.

me opening tumblr to make a post that should be a diary entry: alice. things are bad again.

New Moon but instead of emails it's vent posts on tumblr and only Alice knows the blog exists.

as often I think Twilight is one of those works where the potential is bigger than the actual story. It’s flawed in this particular way where it is good enough to engage with, enjoy the characters, the story etc but also bad enough that you want to build upon it, improve it, change it. I think this precise balance is exactly what makes a fandom live for so long.
