IT TOOK ME A MINUTE TO REALISE YOU MEANT RESUME DJIZKAJDPSKA but I loved this so here:

first of all thank you for this sweet message I’m glad you get a laugh out of my stuff but secondly YOU ARE A GENIUS THANK YOU FOR THIS PROMPT IDK HOW I NEVER THOUGHT OF THIS BEFORE

While it does make sense to tell Alice since she doesnt remember being human (although shouldnt she be able to see how certain things would affect Bella, like not giving her water will dry her out like a sponge etc) it makes zero sense considering that Bella isnt a baby. She's 17 years old, she's not comatose and youd think she would tell them if she were hungry or cold or whatever. Even if she were a toddler she would let you know (even as a baby but it's harder to tell if she's hungry or just bored so lets ignore that) but in that case it would probably be a good idea to tell Alice that even if Toddella wants cake thats not good food.

But as i said, she's 17! She will sleep when she's tired, she doesnt need a bedtime. She doesnt need someone to say "hey, it's 12 PM! Time for your veggies!" or put her in a coat bc "it's freezing outside, you can't go out in a tshirt".

However, it is very much in character for Eddie boy to completely disregard the fact that she can think for herself and micromanage her entire life no matter if she even wants that.

You’re absolutely right and you should say it!!! This is legitimately (one of) the most frustrating thing(s) about Midnight Sun and Edward’s narration — the way he sees Bella as so utterly helpless in every single capacity is so patronising and I truly hate it sjoxksjdooddk idk if this makes sense but sometimes when I read parts of the series I can’t believe that the women were...written by a woman??????? Smeyer writes women how many male writers write women imo (see: the description of Siobhán) and it’s difficult to read.
