basically scream typed at least two pages of that essay to a friend about exactly how HORRIBLE the final corner of that love triangle’s kiss was like. THIS IS WHY I BOTHERED READING. i wanted to know FOR ME that bella NEVER LOVED that whiny bitchass FREAKASS MANIPULATOR WOLF BOY and the entirety of eclipse was literally just him GUILTTRIPPING HER!! and i was FUCKING RIGHT!!!! not even like??? narrative decisions to obscure how much she actually cared: SHE ONLY WANTED HIM TO BE HER FRIEND!!! the ONLY real ass friend she’s made in this town (bc, after new moon, ofc nobody’s gonna fw this chick she’s off the rails let her be) and all he wanted past his transformation was HER ASSSSSS. like i get the mormon underscore of like, he isn’t actually being sexually pushy. but HE HAS HIS HANDS ON HER. ALL THE FUCKING TIME. i mean basically everyone does but HES THE WORST. and even past the point of accepting he wont steal her heart, he goes onto to guilt and pull her towards him out of HISSSSSS SELFISHNESSSSS. i don’t CAREEEE IF ONE PERSON CAN LOVE TWO PEOPLE!!!! THAT MALE POSSESSIVENESS!!!!!

first, edward was a vampire

second, there was a part of him that thirsted for my blood

And there are no limits to what he can give her, to where he can take her or what kind of good time he can show her. He could bring her to the top of Mount Everest and read her love poems or carve a picture of her face into the side of a tree with his bare hands.

And his vampire mind is far more expansive than the feeble human one. Anything she ever mentions liking, he can remember. She once made a positive comment about a type of fabric? Boom! A commissioned dress made by her favourite designer in that fabric, because conveniently money is no obstacle. His dad (and technically her dad but don't get into that now) is like the third richest man in all of fiction. Did she nod approvingly at a statue in a museum (perhaps on a separate date)? Emmett has the capability to learn how to sculpt Rosalie in the same media. Art takes a long time to practice, so thank god Emmett has a long time to get it right.

This is such an important part about who Rosalie and Emmett are as a couple, because from the books it is clear that Rosalie is this refined, elegant, sometimes vicious but always classy woman, and Emmett is this fun-loving, joking goofball, and it's clear that they are so in love with each other. Their dynamic is that each gets to be themselves when they're with each other, and at the same time be what the other needs. I think that when Bella The Intruder and Edward The Bastard With A Stick Up His Ass aren't around, Rose probably gets a little silly. Maybe Emmett gets a little serious. I know from Breaking Dawn that they clearly both get romantic.
