Give Bella a puppy

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.

I've been looking for such archives, thanks

current fan creation landscape is kinda like if you went to a party with a homemade cake and everyone takes a slice and silently thumbs up at you with no attempt to start a conversation except for occasionally some guy sits in the corner with a tape recorder critiquing the cake as though he was a restaurant critic and another guy is handing the cake to an uber driver like "yeah i need you to find a restaurant that makes cake like this so i can have more of it" and the only person that's talked to you in 30 minutes is a very sweet little guy who was like "hey i liked your cake" and then ran away apologizing for bothering you the moment you said thank you.

someone brought a cake analysis robot to feed the cake into to determine the exact ingredients and supposedly it can spit out the exact same cake. and if you're like dude. what. then they're like well if it bothers you you should have made more cake. i'm hungry and i deserve cake. and you're like dude we're at a party.

Three months later you find out that fifty people locked themselves in a room to discuss how much they loved your cake and how they wished you made more. None of them ever told you.

so for the love of god. please tell people you liked their cake and don’t feel embarrassed about it. because then they will make more cake.

edward likes taking bella to the meadow because she gets eaten up by mosquitos who then become flying little snackies that edward doubles back for. edward leaps about the meadow snatching them up like a bass jumping from a lake

Excellent resource if you're new to sewing and want to start doing some clothing repair!

It's so wild. I realized as a teenager, "oh, I shouldn't buy books if I am not going to read them more than once because my money is finite. I should get them from the library instead."

NOTICE: As more and more fanfic writers are using generative AI for their works (you uncreative dweebs), I hereby swear on everything I hold dear that I have not and will NEVER use generative AI in ANY of my written work. Everything I post will be organically and creatively my own.

Why would I use AI to do something I enjoy???

The Twilight Renaissance came and went. Welcome to the Twilight Baroque period. Bring on the shadows. Let’s get dark and intricate (bring on the angst)
