Rosalie:

- arguably the most deeply flawed individual of the whole movie

- probably suffers from PTSD, much like Jasper also probably does

- she can’t get away from hers like he can

- nobody can tell me that rose didn't try to kill herself in those early years, not in the dramatic volturi way obvs but in human ways like jumping from cliffs etc

- has been treated like a possession for her mortal and her eternal life pre-Emmett

- emmett is great but isn't really a prize for all the emotional and mental trauma i'm sure she still has lol so

Jasper:

- is constantly feeling the emotions of every single person within the same room as him, how do you keep those emotions separate from your own? i.e. if someone is feeling deep self-hatred and despair, how does he keep himself from feeling, and perhaps acting, on those same emotions?

Carlisle:

- the face and patriarch of the family is arguably the worst person of the whole movie

- is incredibly dehumanising in the pursuit of knowledge or whatever

- He made Rose an eternal being with her last memories being her brutal r*pe and murder by her fiance and his friends and she is doomed! To forever!! PERFECTLY remember that!!!!! 

- and it wasn’t even to save her life, or to provide her with the support and healing required for moving on from, or even living with something like that (you also can’t make that decision for someone), it was just to give his firstborn a mate! HOW DARE YOU. 

- SHE IS NOT A POSSESSION, SHE IS A PERSON. HOW DARE YOU BE MAD AT HER FOR NOT WANTING HIM.

- does not learn from this. He also does it with Bella. He is the only one who Edward will ever listen to and he never tells him to leave bella alone. whose bright idea was it to have him "test himself", a whole ass predator, with her scent? Carlisle’s. they shoulda just left from the get go. 

Edward:

- his gift has messed him so much he's forgotten how abnormal it is. like how you gon' be mad that you can't read someone's thoughts or that people have learned tricks to keep you out of their head

- he doesn't even try to tune them out morewhile, he just passively listens in to everybody's thoughts. it's the most invasive gift of that clan, and it went to the most emotionally immature one. i'm mad about it

- he is physically 17 but emotionally, i would think he’s like 12 or something 

- was changed in 1918, and his ideas, morals and values reflect it, he doesn't and hasn't really tried to evolve them

- i attribute some of the blame for his stunted emotional growth to Carlisle leaving all of the decisions to him regarding the Cullen clan, due to his gift being useful for sensing danger and discovery by the humans

- is probably an insufferable being. Bella was literally the only person in the whole movie that could stand him. he has not one single goddamn friend, NOT ONE. his siblings don't count bc either a, they don't like him or b, they have to interact with him bc he lives there

- WHY WAS HE WATCHING HER WHILE SHE SLEPT

- bella and edward are not a good couple

- his attraction to her stems from the fact that she's a shield, he was unattracted to her before he realised that. Also her blood but yeah. Her attraction to him is bc he's attractive (vampire quality), mysterious (bc he's a vampire), and so very different from the dreary town of Forks and the boring, stale people that live there (which,, is because,,, he's a vampire).
