funky little vampire freak

I see #MidnightSun trending on Twitter, and as a recovering Twilight fan myself, I just want to urge fans to consider making a donation to support the Quileute Tribe’s Move to Higher Ground Project:  a project dedicated to moving the community from a tsunami disaster zone at the edge of the Pacific Ocean to a safer, better and higher ground. –and also to support other causes that directly benefit Native people such as the Navajo Hopi Covid Relief Fund. https://www.gofundme.com/f/NHFC19Relief As we speak, the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe is fighting against disestablishment by the Trump administration- you can learn more about how to help on their website and this great article in Teen Vogue: Native Tribe’s Rights to Permanent Homelands Are at Risk. As someone who LOVED the Twilight series, read fanfic, made fanart, and will most definitely have a raucous, drunken read-aloud party of Edward’s inner monologue if Midnight Sun does actually drop…  I think it is so important to never erase that Twilight perpetuates racist and othering ideas about Indigenous people, and the series’ success did not benefit the Quileute Tribe monetarily while SMeyer and the franchise rocketed to mega-success, fame, and wealth.  There’s a lot of talk about the series’ misogyny, which is important, but I think that in 2020, anybody who’s White and who’s still participating in the fandom should centralize critiques of the series’ racism, learn about the issues, and more than that, should back that up with funds and material support.

Me *leaves a pile of assorted jorts in the woods*: for the werewolves

we can all say WHATEVER we want about how bad twilight is in terms of writing but there is NOTHING funnier than finally understanding how absolutely perfectly edward and bella are written as two teenagers in their first relationship. fuckin. idc if edwards a hundred and fifty or not hes still seventeen, embarrassed at how strongly his parents react to him bringing a girl home for the first time, practically dying of embarrassment at alice his gay sister trying to steal his girlfriend out from under him, showing bella his room and being shy about his music taste because he KNOWS hes fucking weird and bella awkwardly trying to relieve that shyness by Almost relating to it. "edward doesnt live . . . in town" to hide the fact that she was specifically Not talking abt her new bf to her dad. it's entirely fucking stupid and its fantastic.

"its very common, you can google it" that is LITERALLY something a 17 yr old boy trying to impress/specifically sound disinterested in a girl would say

twilight au where Edward doesn’t save Bella from the car but she survives anyway bc she has an adrenaline rush it’s very common you can google it

vampires be like: she took the soil of my birthplace in the divorce

no cause like I cant stop thinking about like. vampire lovers with a double coffin and they like. instead of exchanging rings or surnames or weird shit they just mix in their soil when they’re married to signify the joining of their lives and family lines. but like. the divorce would be messy. like literally. what are you gonna do when your ex-wife is still sleeping on your soil and you gotta trudge yourself back up to the peak of the rockies cause your mom popped you out in a cabin in the woods that doesnt have an address.

there’s a line in twilight that goes “there was nothing more beautiful than Edward in his khakis and pale beige pullover” and i think about that every day of my life

like stephanie meyer really did go “hmm. what’s the absolute sexiest garment i can think of. the most gorgeous clothes imaginable. how do i communicate how absolutely fucking fine edward looks at all times” and then 0.5 seconds later she went “oh, of course. khakis”

this reminds me of her emphasis on the cullens car that she constantly described with such awe and admiration and it always had me WEAK bc she tells you it’s a volvo s40 but then Describes it as if Edwards ass was pulling into the high school parking lot in a lamborghini or something and not literally a regular grey sedan
