still in my twilight phase, sorry

I’m not saying it’s just the danger of being hunted by James that was adrenaline pumping for Bella. From what we know of the basic “biology” of vampires, we know that they are basically killing machines in a very attractive and alluring visage. Midnight Sun really fills in the blanks here, but he also explained this to Bella many times that humans naturally are drawn to them because of the attractive facade, but they also are very apprehensive of them instinctually. I think there is even mention that the humans’ instincts are telling them the truth when their minds are rationalizing the fear; the innate fear that they have as prey in the presence of a predator. 

Now, I know; you’re going to come at me with the logic that Edward also often says that Bella just doesn’t seem to have this instinct that everyone else has, but I have to counter this by saying... uh, no. That’s just false. She did initially have that fear. Day one in Biology, helllooooo?!? She even sensed something was up with them in the cafeteria and she wasn’t even that close to them. Bella obviously rationalized her fear, she quelled it with her love for Edward. And that’s totally okay. That’s scientifically sound; you can certainly overcome natural instincts! People overcome fears if they’re motivated enough. And excuse me, a godlike, perfect, immortal vampire boyfriend would be incentive enough for me. [This is also a reminder to any potential vampire suitors that yes, hi, I’d be game]

But “getting over” that fear doesn’t mean that your body doesn’t chemically still react to stimuli that cause you to be fearful in the first place. That rush of butterflies you feel when you’re nervous? That jolt of energy you get before you do something gnarly? Yeah, that’s adrenaline. And in some extreme cases, it’s enough to kick in your fight or flight response. And I’d wager that constantly hanging out with something as inherently dangerous as Edward nearly 24/7 would be pumping Bella’s body full of adrenaline. That might even be a great reason that girl can never get a good night’s rest! Get out of her room, Edward. Let a girl relax!!!

That’s why danger is so intoxicating to people; why vampires are sexy. [that needed to be bold, because they are]

Now, I won’t go into the whole “soldiers coming home from war” bit here, but if you followed along to this point, you should understand. When Edward left Bella in New Moon, I could not even imagine the low she would be feeling after riding a high of adrenaline for months. Not only did she lose the love of her life (and being young and thinking it’s the end of the world), but she also was severely lacking the drug her body was producing off of his presence. 

When Edward said that she was like a drug to him, he had it all wrong.

"Honestly- I've seen corpses with better color. I was concerned that I might have to avenge your murder."

"You never even say hi to me." "Hi"

This means that her cycle is 28 days exactly (16+17-5) and that her last period began on July 28th 2006. That was also her last period EVER btw because then she got pregnant and then was immediately changed.

So I counted backwards to every single one of Bella’s periods, from her last one before she changed, to the first one after she moved to Forks. The results:

To elaborate, Bella was on her period:

When she first met Edward at biology class (January 18th 2005)

At the meadow (March 12th) and baseball game (March 13th)

The first time she heard Edward’s voice in NM (January 16th 2006)

When she bought the bikes and she started repairing them with Jake (January 17-18th)

When she and Jacob did homework together and she invited him to the movies (February 14th)

The day she realized Jacob is a werewolf (March 11th)

Quite possibly when she jumped off the cliff, depending on how long it lasts for her (March 16th)

When  Jacob confronted Edward and Bella about the treaty and gave Bella back her motorcycle (April 7th)

When Edward caught Riley’s scent at Bella’s house (June 2nd)

At the Quileute bonfire (June 3rd)

When Jacob went missing in BD (Late June/Early July)

Am I the only one weirded out by the fact that Feyre wore the same dress to two functions? I am talking about the starfall dress that was reused in the high lords meeting. Like girly you are rich as fuck now. Why would you rewear it? Especially in such a close period of time.
