Eden's apple

The way people demonize Jacob and do everything they can to diminish his complexity or any of his redeeming qualities in hopes of explaining why Edward is better (the "right choice) or just how Jacob is shitty and you shouldn't like him... Im used to people online missing nuance or just ignoring it when its come to certain characters...but most of the criticism revolving Jacobs character is just so fucking stupid.

The imprinting - Stated multiple times not a fucking choice, Jacob States how much he hates it. The idea of losing control or at least just autonomy, I was genuinely baffled when people online managed to shit on him for something he literally can't fucking control. His disdain for imprinting is a lot more prevalent in the books or at least just explained. A lot of his fights with Bella about Edward are about her potentially losing herself to become a vampire. and The sacrifices of which she will be making if she turns into a vampire. His immaturity in comparison to pasty white disco ball - Is he immature yes, but he is also 16 years old and that pasty tampon is 107 I think....It makes more sense for Jacob to struggle to be as mature because he isn't an adult, he is a minor. I know that Edward is supposed to be mentally stuck at 17 but wtf does that mean like really explain...maturity is something learnt through experience, cognitive development etc. The werewolf transformation is also insinuated to not just affect them physically but mentally. Its more than just the ability to shape shift. It changes the nature of which they fucking function. Regardless of whether you ship Edward an Bella or just like Edward there is a prevalent power imbalance...He is controlling and overbearing..he isn't young or youthful he has "lived", he acts like An adult and treats his peers and especially Bella as if she is younger. There relationship isn't equal.

Is such a line and one hell of an introduction of a character!!!

She’s never spoken to him directly but that already name has more much weight to it.

Katniss’s reaction to Peeta’s reaping sets up the perpetual heartache of the rest of the series.

“Don’t go yet. Not until I fall asleep,” I say.

Peeta sits on the side of the bed, warming my hand in both of his. “Almost thought you’d change your mind today. When you were late for dinner.”

I’m foggy but I can guess what he means. With the fence going on and me showing up late and the Peacekeepers waiting he thought I’d made a run for it, maybe with Gale.

“No, I’d have told you,” I say. I pull his hand up and lean my cheek against the back of it, taking in the faint scent of cinnamon and dill from the breads he must have baked today. I want to tell him about Twill and Bonnie and the uprising and the fantasy of District 13, but it’s not safe to and I can feel myself slipping away, so I just get out one more sentence. “Stay with me.””
