headcanon: the boring perfect self control vampire bella thinks she has is a LIE and at one point she caught human scent mid-hunt and snapped. it made her so wild she had to be restrained to the point where things got ugly
i know edward would never dare to do it and meyer would never dare write it and in canon newborn vamp bella would be far stronger than him...
actually. you know who would be stronger than one young vampire? two old vampires. and who would act practical in a critical situation? emmett
imagine edward and bella heading out for a hunt and emmett being like "do you guys mind if i tag along? i feel like snacking". bella's a little mad at the prospect of suddenly having a third wheel (homegirl wasn't planning on just. hunting) but alice gets a weird hunch and goes "no, no, em should go with you" ok nostradamus. he's going.
fast forward they're in the mountain. bella finds having emmett third-wheeling is not half bad. in emmett's head, lowkey it's bella who's the third wheel after so many decades of him hunting together with edward. but nevertheless, it's so fun with her around. all is good until they catch the scent of an entire group of friends hiking just a couple of miles from here, away from all civilization. emmett and edward stop in their tracks, ready to turn around. bella, her guard down, loses it and stars running towards the group, so they have no choice but to charge at her. while strugging to keep her in place, they try to talk her down but she doesn't listen. she doesn't care, she's strong enough to fight them off, and she fights and claws and hisses and breaks bones of whoever gets in her way because there are so many pulses just a few minutes' run away from her and their scent is so sweet and burning and calling, calling, calling to her
while struggling to restrain her, emmett grunts "we have to disarm her". edward catches the image in his head and shouts "no! you can't literally disarm bella!". well, how the hell do you expect us to stop her from massacring all those hikers? we'll just put her back together afterwards. duh!, emmett thinks, and knows he has to act fast so he goes in while bella's busy yanking away from edward's grip and tears off a limb. or two. all 3 of them may or may not be screaming.
a few moments later edward's pinning bella to the ground, holding her face between his palms, forcing her to look at him. her thrashing is not so effective with limited body parts. part of him wants to yell at emmett but that's kind of low priority. he's holding on to the last of his composure while he looks down at bella's feral expression and chants 'baby. i'm so sorry but i'll give you your leg back after you calm down a bit. i won't be able to outrun you if you go chasing after those people now. please calm down. i love you. hold your breath'
just then she listens, stops breathing and her vision refocuses. for the first time she realizes she was on her way to slaughter a bunch of strangers and she broke the arm of the man she loves at least three times when he tried to stop her. she wants to open her mouth and apologize but that will require her to breathe and possibly go crazy with thirst again. so she stares back at edward's panicked eyes and nods at him, her own red eyes just as full of terror.
then she looks over his shoulder and sees emmett waving her severed leg in the air like it's a baseball bat. "hey, did you know that rose wears the same shoe size?"

Ketchup Bottle
Pairing: Charlie Swan x agegap!Reader
Word count: 4.8k
Notes: Bruh where tf did this come from??? Like?? What do EYE mean Charlie Swan x Reader??
P.S this title is so funny
Tumblr media
1
Charlie stares at the menu in front of him, his fingers pursing his lips. If he’s gonna be stood up, he might as well treat himself. 
Bella had been nagging him to “get back out there” recently.
“Mom is happy… I am… I just want you to be too.” 
She knew he didn’t really need anything, but she wasn’t stupid, she knew that he was definitely not doing great on his own. So she set him up on a blind date, one of Alice’s friends that Alice promised was exactly what Charlie needed.
He should have known better than to trust her…. Alright, that wasn’t nice, if he was going to trust any Cullen it was her. 
And maybe like, Emmett. 
He orders himself a nice steak and is just about to hand over the menu when a girl walks in absolutely drenched from head to toe. She looks like she’d fallen into the freaking ocean. He’s about to stand up and figure out what’s going on when the hostess starts walking toward him. 
“I can handle it from here” He sighs, getting up now and putting his hands on his hips. 
“You wanna talk in back? Maybe get you into something dry?” 
“T-that would be nice” 
He leads her back to where they busy to find her something warm. A chair is brought over next to the giant ovens and she sits gingerly on it, trying not to lean too close to them, the owner promises to come back with something dry. 
“You wanna tell me your name? And maybe about what happened?” He’s in cop mode as he puts his coat around her shoulders and she snuggles down into it. He removes a little leaf from her hair and flicks it away. 
She’s pretty, he notices. A young thing compared to him, dressed nicely, must have had a date.
“I’m Y/N” Your teeth chatter with each word and he has you scoot a little closer to the oven while rubbing your arms. He crouches down to get a good look at you, you’re not in too bad of shape… a few bruises here and there, little scrapes but you seem to be intact. 
“Alright Y/N, you able to tell me what happened?” 
“Nothing that would involve the Sheriff” you sigh “It was just an accident” 
“That would be something to involve a Sheriff with” He raises an eyebrow and you shift uneasily. He reaches out, taking your hand a bit awkwardly, and rubs the back of it, trying to warm you up, and hopefully soften you a bit in the process.
“My phone died” You mumble and he nods understandingly. 
“Alright, I got a phone you can borrow… and?” 
“I got rear-ended-“ you tug at the roots of your hair nervously and he holds your hand tighter, trying to calm you down “And- and they literally sped off?? It wouldn’t start after that and I had to leave my car on the side of the road and start walking and then it freakin’ started raining-“
“Were you able to get a plate number?” He asks it calmly, hoping to soothe you a bit and it seems to work as you sigh and let your head fall back 
“Man you bet I did… and I had a date tonight!! He probably thinks I stood him up!!!” 
He reaches into his pocket for his phone and unlocks it before handing it over. “How late are you? Maybe I can get you a police escort��
You giggle a little at his joke and start dialing the number you’d learned by heart from the little piece of paper your friend had given you. 
“We were supposed to meet here at around 7? And it’s literally 8:30 now… I’m sure he’s gone.” The number goes straight to busy and you pout.
“Do you know what he looks like?” 
“No…blind date. I’m not from around here” You try dialing again, but it goes right to busy. “But I know his name!” 
“What is it? Maybe I can help ya find him.” 
“Charlie Swan?” 
Tumblr media
Charlie stares at the floor as you change into some clean pajama pants and pull a shirt over your head. He didn’t say anything about the fact that you were his date apparently… he just took you home with him because honestly he didn’t really know where else to take you. He bought you dinner there, had it boxed up so you could leave together-
Seriously? You?
He couldn’t deny you were pretty, your hair was so soft and bouncy now that it was somewhat dry, and you so weren’t lying when you said you weren’t from around here, your skin was too sun-kissed to have been from around here. 
Still… 
What the hell were those two thinking? And okay a better question, one he wasn’t even sure he wanted the answer to. 
You were friends with Alice? 
Did that mean…? 
“Thanks again” You sigh as you come out of the bedroom, Bella’s old room, while using a towel to scrunch your hair. He’d all but shoved you into the bathroom for a hot shower while he picked out a few things of Bella’s for you to wear. He called her to make sure it was cool and he heard Emmett screaming some less than great ideas for clothing. 
“Yeah it’s no problem…kinda my job” He watches you plop down at the kitchen table and rub your hands together while laughing evilly before opening the takeout container in front of you. He smirks a little at that while grabbing a couple beers from the fridge.
“Figure maybe we can get your car tomorrow? Tow it in… I know a guy who can fix it for ya” 
He sits next to you, watching you eat. You’re eating human food, but didn’t he hear that they did that anyway? To fit in? 
“Penny for your thoughts?” You pop a fry in your mouth and he shrugs, slouching in his chair a little and tilting his head back.
“It’s nothin'” He shrugs and sits up again, grabbing the mail from the table and perusing distractedly. “What about you huh? You doin any better?” 
“Yeah” You shrug back “I guess” 
“You guess?” He sets the paper down and waits for you to chew your burger before grabbing your beer
“It’s stupid”
“Oh, I doubt that” he crosses his arms over his chest, giving you his full attention and you look down at your box for a second.
“He didn’t call… to see if I was okay” you smile a little sadly “I know I accidentally stood him up… but he never asked if everything was okay” 
Charlie is… definitely starting to grow a bit of a soft spot for you. He sighs and melts into his chair miserably before slapping his hands over his face. 
“He knows you’re fine” 
“And just how does he know? The jerk never checked in. Can you believe that?? He never even asked where I was! What if I was in a ditch!!” 
“Were you?” He interrupts and you huff
“Luckily no…”
He snorts and you roll your eyes “He could have called”
“He knows you’re fine” he repeats himself and now you cross your arms over your chest.
“That’s not helpful” 
“Have you tried calling him again?”
“Why? It all goes straight to busy… I think- I think he blocked my number.” 
He can hear the sadness in your voice and it just about breaks his heart. He reaches over and gently moves a curl from your face.
“I didn’t-“ he has to take a breath before he continues “I didn’t block your number, Y/N. We’ve been so go-go-go I didn’t really get the chance to introduce myself, you just sort of fell in my lap”
You narrow your eyes and purse your lips “Hmmmm yeah you know I’m startin’ to realize “Mr. Sheriff guy” isn’t exactly a name…” 
“You literally went home with me” He runs his hands through his hair
“You’re a sheriff-“
“Chief”
“Now you wanna correct me? And anyway, everyone you know… seemed to let it happen!! so!!”
“Is- is this really how you live??” 
“Says the guy who never told me his name.” You scoff and cross your arms and it’s his time to narrow his eyes at you. 
Maybe you were friends with Emmett. 
“Okay. First, you never asked. Second, again you know it’s been kind of a busy night and-“
“Shouldn’t the first thing you do be to introduce yourself?” 
“Okay we- we are not turning this around on me-“
“You brought a stranger home!!!”
“Did you want to stay in the jail??” 
“I’m a stranger! What if I murder you!!” 
“How did we get here?” Charlie looks at his hands as his phone starts ringing, he pinches the bridge of his nose and gives you a sassy look before answering it.
“Hey… yeah she’s here, I’ve got her” 
“Oh, so you are gonna murder me!” You point accusatorially and his mouth drops. 
“I’m not gonna murder you!! Jesus- here just, just take the damn thing.” He hands over the phone and gets up to give you some privacy.  
How in the hell Bella ever thought this was a good idea is completely lost on him. 
Tumblr media
You creep into the living room, your head down as you shyly pass him his phone back. 
“Some first date huh?” 
Alice had… a good laugh at your expense when she realized you didn’t know who Charlie was or where you were. You wanted to slam your head into the table over and over when she slowly walked you through the entire thing.
You’d been hanging out with Emmett entirely too much. 
“I’ll say” He pats the couch and you sit next to him, leaning back into the cushions.
“I didn’t stand you up” You mumble and he grins, putting his arm over the back of the seat.
“Yeah, I know” 
“I wanted to be on time, I- I took so long to get ready” You sigh, letting your head fall against his arm and he looks at you.
“For a drowned rat, I think you looked pretty nice for what it’s worth.” 
You swat his chest and roll your eyes playfully as he chuckles. He runs his hand over your hair, before pulling you a little closer to him.
Is he… really putting the moves on you? And why does it feel natural? You lean into him easily, coming closer to him. He can’t tell if it’s because you want to be next to him, or because you’re cold. He grabs the throw blanket from the back of the couch and tosses it over you. He lets out a surprised grunt when you pull your legs up on the couch and snuggle into his side, putting some of the blanket over him too. 
“So what are we watching?” 
He hands you the remote and you put on some reruns of Murder She Wrote.
“Gonna have it all figured out before she does? Chief Swan”
He knows you’re messing around and he thinks it’s funny, but it’s the way you said his name like that, the title that literally everyone calls him that just feels… different coming from you. He shifts a little but flicks your arm as a distraction.
“Shut up” 
You both start to nod off after a while, his head falls on yours and he swears his dreams get sweeter, his body feels lighter, and the usual anxious ache in his shoulders is gone… it’s kind of odd, but welcoming.
You wake up a bit, and readjust yourself, prodding at him lightly to lay down. He finds himself easily doing whatever you want, as he puts his legs up on the couch and you nuzzle into him, your body slotting in between him and the couch. He’s never been the cuddling type, but when your head lays on his chest he can’t help but wrap his arms around you and softly rub your side, soothing you back to sleep. 
The next morning is…Awkward. His eyes flutter open and you’re still there, sleeping soundly on his chest. You’ve got his shirt gripped tightly in your fingers, your thigh over his torso. He’s not sure how he’s going to get out from under you without waking you but he needs to do it, and he needs to do it fast. He knows the second you wake up you’ll feel it… and he’s not sure whether it just happened or if it had something to do with you but god has he never hated being a man more than in this moment.
You shift a little with his movements and he freezes, taking time to make sure you settle back in before moving your arm off him, he sits up a bit and starts to slide out from under you when you startle and push away from him some.
“Charlie?” You mutter and he freezes again 
“Uh…yeah?” 
“Where are you going?” Your voice is so small and feminine, and there’s that sleepy little rasp and it’s- it’s been too long since he heard that specific sound. He gulps and stays where he is, hovering in a weird position. 
“Just… just to the bathroom?” 
“Oh… come back fast okay?” You turn away and curl up under the blanket and he sighs in relief before rushing off to the bathroom. 
“So I thought after breakfast we could go out to where you left your car… you remember where that is?” 
He looks down at the steaming cup of coffee in his hands, you’d insisted on making breakfast as a thank you and after much protest, you shoved him down into a chair and he let you do what you wanted. 
He’d nearly choked on said coffee when you came into the kitchen, wearing one of his t-shirts. The band logo stretched across your chest and it hugged your curves better than anything he’d ever seen. 
“Sorry I kinda went through your laundry, your daughter’s clothes are nice! Honestly!! They’re just…. A bit small?” You gesture awkwardly to your chest. He hadn’t even noticed that you might be having a problem with the clothes, you were both so tired. 
He nodded dumbly as you set the cup down in front of him with a little wink and turned toward the fridge to find the eggs. He kept his cup to his mouth suspiciously long as you bent down to grab a few from the carton on the bottom shelf. 
“I think I remember, sure works for me” 
“Alright, we just gotta pick up a friend on the way” 
Tumblr media
Charlie grips the wheel tightly as he drives down the road you’d directed him to. Billy had spent the last 20 minutes cheerfully learning all about you, the second he got in the car, Charlie knew this was the biggest mistake he’d ever made. 
“So what happened to your hot date last night” Billy snickers as Charlie helps him into the car.
“Hot date huh?” You pop out from between the seats and Billy smiles, shaking your hand as you introduce yourself. 
“Yeah, big man over here finally got himself a date. Between you and me, I’ve been telling him he needed to get la-“ 
“Okay! Okay, this was fun! But you know Y/N why don’t you just buckle up okay? Thank you.” 
“He’s just being shy” Billy completely ignores Charlie trying to signal him to shut the fuck up and continues. “I bet she went home with a smile on her face and a wobble in her step” 
You burst out laughing and Charlie steps out of the car, he legitimately pulls over and steps out for a minute. You and Billy cackle at his blush, pointing and laughing when he smacks his head against the cool metal of the hood of the truck. 
“I apologize for the… vulgarity” He chuckles, wiping his tears. “Nothin’ gives me more joy than harassing him” 
“Oh trust me, this was great” 
Charlie gets back into the truck, flexing his fingers on the steering wheel as you and Billy giggle to yourselves. He’s silent as he pulls up alongside your car and you hop out. Billy lets out a low whistle and Charlie sets his forehead on the steering wheel. 
“Is that one of your shirts?”
“Yes.” 
“Did she find that herself or did you give it to her”
“She found it.” He takes off his seatbelt and reaches for the door handle.
“What did you tell your date? Did she see you with her?” 
“She was my date.” 
Charlie leaves Billy in the car to stew as he comes over to yours, he opens the passenger side and gets in, watching you rifle through some papers. 
“Is he dying inside” 
“Oh yeah definitely” He shuts the door and you look at him, grinning. 
“Yeah I thought you’d really like your sweet revenge when it came”
“You wanna point at him now and laugh” 
“Oh a hundred percent” 
He watches you gather up a few things before you sigh, your travel makeup box in your lap. 
“What’s wrong?” 
“I’m just… disappointed my hard work went to waste” You smile sadly and he reaches over, his hand cupping your face.
“I already told you, you looked pretty.” 
“You really think so?” You lean into his hand “I mean Alice told me all about how cool and impressive you were” 
He’d have to thank her for that.
“I just… kinda wanted to impress you too you know? I had on my best heels and everything!” You reach in back and pull them upfront. 
He shifts a little, his jeans tightening. They are nice shoes, they’re black and shiny, he’s sure he could see his reflection in them. 
“I had to change my shoes to start walking” You frown and he takes one from you, looking it over.
“Would you have asked for a second date?” 
You look over at him, he’s got a lopsided smile and you can’t help but smile back at him. 
“Would you like? A second date… I’ll admit this wasn’t much of a first” 
“I dunno” he shrugs “I had a nice time with you, breakfast was good” you giggle and lean your head against the headrest. He likes you, he realizes and that’s kind of weird for him, a grown-ass man having a crush. But here he is, feeling like kicking his feet every time you smile at him like that smile is meant just for him maybe.
“Let me make dinner for you tonight” 
He’s inviting you on a second date, ever since Bella had moved away she constantly told him he nodded a hobby, and in an effort to get his nagging loving daughter off his back, he decided to enroll in a cooking class. 
“Okay, I’d like that. And Charlie?” 
You open the car door and then lean over the center console, kissing him softly. It’s such a surprise it takes him a second before he kisses you back, his finger hooks under your chin and he holds you in place, knowing you want to run away from him. 
He’s… well versed you realize, as you melt under his warmth. And truly he doesn’t want to admit.. it’s been a while since he’d done something like this, you make him feel like a teenager again as he cups your cheek, pulling you closer to him. You’re just reaching to put your arms around his neck when suddenly the truck horn blows and you scream. Charlie groans and reaches into his pocket for his phone that’s ringing. 
“What. Do you want?!” 
“If you guys are gonna have sex can you like… turn me in the opposite direction” 
Billy has apparently recovered from making an accidental ass out of himself as you climb into the front seat of the truck while Charlie handles the tow truck and paperwork.
“You like him?” Billy asks as you watch Charlie, his hands on his hips.
“A lot, he’s really nice, kinda sarcastic, kinda funny, and he smells- soooooo good” 
“Okay. Didn’t need to know that part” 
“Are you gonna tell me I’m wrong??” 
“I don’t smell my best friend? Like. Ever?” 
“Inhale”
“What no I’m not gon-“
“In. Hale!!!” 
Billy is a full-grown man. He’s been through more than anyone ever should in their lifetime. 
And he inhales when this little girl tells him to.
He inhales slowly while you’re nodding your head up and down.
“Oh yeahhhh”
“….. Well shit” 
Charlie opens the door as you’re shaking Billy by the lapels of his shirt and you’re both screaming about how good he smells.
“Uhhhh do you guys want me to go?” He points backward and you smooth out Billy’s shirt and hop from the truck. Charlie opens the back door for you and you give him a little salute as you climb back in. 
“We’re cool… we’re good, we’re cool” 
“We’re normal” Billy shrugs. 
Once you’re back at his place, you decide to go take a little nap. You leave him and Billy downstairs chattering away like they did in high school and slip into his room. To be honest you’re not all together sure it’s okay that you’re in there… but the large neatly made bed is calling your name. 
You remove the ill fitting pants you’d borrowed from Bella and crawl under the covers, curling up into his pillow and inhaling slowly. Yup, still smelled delicious. 
“She’s really into you” 
Billy stares at the TV while Charlie grabs a couple beers. He rolls his eyes and hands him one before plopping down on the couch. He sighs as he leans back, resting his head along the back.
“Is this what we’ve come to? Gossiping about my love life?” 
“Sarah would be eating it up and you know it” 
Charlie grins a little at the memory of her and nods. 
“S’pose so” 
“So… what about you?”
“I barely know the girl… she’s, nice. She’s fun… but I barely know her” 
“Are you actually going to take the time to get to know her? Or are you going to let her walk away? She’s a real catch, Charlie”
“You’ve spent an hour with her!” 
“And that’s all it took for me to see that… maybe Bella was right, I think she is good for you, I think she’s what you need to brighten this place up. The sun has finally come back to Forks.” 
You wander out of the bedroom around 3 and head back downstairs, you rub at your eyes sleepily as you stumble down the stairs.
“Hey sleepy head, how was your-“
You stand in front of him, doing a little stretching. The shirt rides up around your hips and he blinks slowly, taking in the soft buttery skin of your thighs. He can just see a hint of your pink panties before putting your arms back down. 
“You okay?” You move to stand between his legs and he looks up at you, slightly in awe
“Yeah” 
“You sure?”
He takes a breath before taking your hand and pulling you closer. You straddle his lap and he takes a second to smooth his hands over your thighs, feeling them in his grip. He seemed so into the softness of your body, your plush curves. 
“I’m sure”
“What’s this all about huh?” You giggle quietly and wrap your arms around his neck, he leans you closer into him and you feel his hands grip your ass. Your mouth falls open and he smirks. 
“I think it’s time I finally start thinkin’ about myself again.” 
So maybe he’s going a little overboard with Billy’s advice right now, to just relax and have fun with you. But he can’t find it in him to care when you nuzzle your nose against his. Is he going way too fast with this? Yes. Had he just met you? Also yes. 
But he’d be damned if he didn’t get at least a little sun while it was shining. 
“Sounds like a plan to me” You smile against his lips  and he rubs your sides slowly, feeling you up. You blush and scoot closer, settling down in his lap, and he can’t help but think about how the only thing separating him from feeling you is a pair of jeans and a thin pair of panties.
His hands slide up under your shirt, feeling your bare skin against his fingertips and you tilt your head, deepening the kiss with him at the same time your hips move forward a bit more. His hands freeze in place as you start to roll your hips against his clothed cock, they stutter slightly as you feel just how large he is.
“O-oh my god” You whisper and he pulls away to look at you
“What��s wrong?”
“Y-your really um-“ You pause for a moment, completely flustered when the front door suddenly opens.
“Charlie? dad thinks he left his-“
Charlie practically launches you off his lap as Jacob comes through the front door. You fall to the floor with a squeak and he stands up quickly, throwing the blanket over your bare legs while you’re still floundering to get up.
“He-uh he left his what??” His voice is high-pitched as he tries to step in front of you but it does little to stop Jacob from staring.
“Is she okay?”
“She’s fine”
“I think I broke my spleen”
“So your dad left something??” Charlie clears his throat and Jacob looks up at him
“Uhhh yeah… he thinks he might have left his meds in the couch or maybe the truck or something… do you uh-“ He’s trying not to snicker “You want me to check the truck first?”
Charlie pats his pants pockets and fishes out his keys, tossing them over to him.
“That would be nice, thank you.”
“I’m Jacob by the way” He tells the bundle of blanket on the floor and your little hand sticks out, waving in the wrong direction
“Y/N”
“She’s cute” Jacob mouths with a double thumbs up and Charlie has to refrain from going to grab his shotgun.
As soon as the front door closes again he turns to you, pushing the blanket back. You’re glaring up at him, your arms crossed.
“Are you ashamed of me?”
“Of course I’m not” He pulls you up from the floor and you flop down on the couch, sniffling a little.
“You shoved me off of you”
“You’re barely wearing any clothes”
“And?!” You huff and he rolls his eyes
“And… that’s Billy’s son”
You think about it for a moment, still pouting and looking away from him and he sighs, pinching the bridge of his nose before looking at you again
“Will a kiss make you feel better?”
Your head turns so fast he thinks you’ve got whiplash from it, he himself can’t even believe he said it.
“Maybe…”
He holds your chin in his fingers before kissing you again, it sends a jolt of electricity down your spine when you feel his other hand on your torso, pushing you down onto the couch again.
“I’m so sorry honeybee’” He whispers, his hand sliding between your thighs, your heart flutters as he rubs higher and higher, you can feel his hand brush against the front of your panties when there’s a loud knock at the front door again.
“Is it safe??” Jacob cracks the door and Charlie closes his eyes, letting out a long sigh before getting up and tossing the blanket back over you.
“Yeah, it’s safe”
You snicker as he comes in, shaking the bottle of meds and tossing Charlie back his key.
“Got em, thanks”
You sit up, swinging your legs off the couch and getting up, the blanket falls from your form and Jacob’s eyes widen.
“I’m feeling kind of cold… I’m gonna go take a shower okay?” You lay your hand on his chest, purposely putting your body against his and his cheeks redden.
“Uh…okay sure. Yeah”
Your hand slides down his torso and you let it settle on his hip.
“Come up soon?” You whisper, but there’s no point, because Jacob can hear it anyway
“Okay” He kisses your forehead before you finally pull away, holding his hand until you can’t anymore
“It was nice meeting you Jacob” You give him a little wave and he smiles, tipping his head as you walk up the stairs.
“It was nice to meet you too. Maybe we can have you two over for dinner soon.”
As soon as he’s sure you’re out of earshot he comes over to Charlie, holding his hand up for a high five
“My man” He laughs and Charlie slaps his hands over his face and falls onto the couch.
What was he going to do with you?

I don't get why people say that the Rosa Parks episode is necessarily bad. I feel there's a lot of nuance to it that people tend to overlook.
Tumblr media
Right off the bat, we get this parallel: how the Doctor and the fam are from out of town like Emmett Till was. It's a warning to tread carefully. Yes, we would all like to go around punching racist bigots, but this is not the time or place.
Tumblr media
And then we have this white supremacist recently released from Stormcage (missed opportunity to name-drop River to be honest—though season 11 was a soft reboot for new viewers, so I understand why they would hesitate to mention Doctor's wife being held in the same prison as this man, imagine the outrageous misunderstandings it would cause?). He probably got arrested by a Black officer (speculation) and now has it out for Rosa Parks, the spark that led to the Civil Rights Movement.
Tumblr media
As Yaz says here.
Tumblr media
Now, coming to the most controversial part of the episode, you have to consider that maybe this was the only logical next step.
Tumblr media
Remember, this was Krasko's plan. He couldn't kill Rosa because of the neuro restrictor in his brain (the Doctor being so smug about that while he had her in literal chokehold is a scene that lives rent-free in my head). But he nudged history enough by cheap little tactics (changing the bus drivers, smashing up the bus, etc.) that by the time The Doctor and the fam got things back on track there weren't enough passengers for a full bus without them. If they got up now, Krasko would get what he wanted.
Tumblr media
In this case, not helping is helping. Helping to preserve history and Rosa's legacy, even it's means being the jerk who recreates the circumstances of her arrest.
Tumblr media
This is Rosa's moment. The Doctor and the fam are just spectators to it, and that, I feel, is so much more powerful than if they stepped in or stepped out of the bus. Rosa doesn't need saving. What she needs is to stand up for herself—or should I say sit down for her rights. No matter how hard it might be to watch and do nothing, this is a moment no one gets to take away from her.

I wrote a jasper story the other day and I DID NOT like it. So here's a new one.
Tumblr media
Jasper Hale x fem reader
I love you, forever
"I bet I could beat Jasper." You jokingly whisper to Emmett. He crosses his arms and laughs at you. "Yeah, right. You definitely can't even try."
Rosalie and Jasper finish their training together. "This newborn army think they stand a chance." Rosalie smirks, walking up to Emmett. "Well, y/n thinks she can fight a vampire." Emmett laughs. Rosalie rolls her eyes in disgust.
"Being a vampire isn't fun, and it's not a joke. God, you're just as bad as Bella." She looks over at Bella. "Rose." Jasper glares at her.
"See what she can do." Carlisle jokes.
Jasper looks at like the gif as you stand in front of him. You jump on top of him, and he falls on the ground with you on top. He laughs and looks up at you. "I had to make myself fall, weak human." He winks.
After the training, you go home with the Cullens. "Jas." You whisper to him. He sits on the couch and pats the spot next to him. "Yes ma'am?" He asks. You sit and lean your shoulder on him. "The volturi. Me and Bella eventually have to change." You spoke. He sighs and looks over at you. "I'm not Edward. I'll do it whenever you're ready, my love." He kisses your cheek. "Now." You lift your head up, your face inches from his. He lifts a hand to your cheek and stares in your eyes. "Are you sure?"
"I already live here. I don't go around my family. They're literally out of state. What's stopping us?" You lean in and press your lips on his. He kisses back and tangles his hand in your hair.
You pull back and look at him. You are scared. Petrified. It's going to hurt, and everything will change. But, to be Jasper's forever, this is what you need to do.
Running footsteps are heard, and Alice pops in. "Y/n! You are changing?" She gasps with a smile. You giggle and nod your head. "I HAVE to tell Remi." She runs away.
(Remi is Alice's mate. His face is Timothee chalamet. I will keep him in every Jasper story of mine.)
"Let's go get Carlisle. I'll need his help." Jasper stands up and grabs your hand. You guys walk to the main room where everyone is talking. "Carlisle. May we change y/n tonight?" He smirks at you.
"Finally." Emmett mutters. "I figured it'd be soon." Carlisle smiles. Esme brings you into a hug. She then moves back and smiles with her hands clasped together. Rosalie looks at you with an unreadable expression. "Welcome to hell.'' She says. "I could hear her thoughts the whole time we were training." Edward smiles. Bella turns to look at Edward. He shakes his head and frowns. "Not yet." Bella storms upstairs, and Edward follows.
Carlisle takes you guys to his medical room. He lays you down on the metal bed. Your heart is beating fast. But, the excitement is overbearing. "I love you, forever." You look at Jasper. He smiles and leans down next to you.
"Jasper, control." Carlisle put a hand on his shoulder. "Don't worry. This is going to be easy because I love her."
His lips make a few small kisses on your neck. You hold your breath and close your eyes tightly.
Pain.

The island was safe. You kept repeating in your head, and you couldn't help but flinch as everyone spoke out loud or did something a little too noisy. You just sat and waited for the horrid creatures to get them but they never came because they couldn't swim. Emmett easily talked aloud, it was strange, this was the first time you had really heard him talk so loud. Of course, you'd speak louder than a whisper but never this openly. His voice made you feel all woozy and shy in such a pathetic way.
"I reckon we're gonna head to bed now..." Emmett murmured to the group around the fire, he looked at you, seeing your nervousness. This was only your second night on the island, you still hadn't quite adjusted yet to a comfortable bed and clean clothes... and working showers. "It was lovely talking to you all, goodnight." Emmett patted a few guys on the back, waving politely before sauntering to you.
Emmett picked you up and threw you over his shoulder, you gasped at this, looking at the people giggling at you two. They had a small empty house for the two of you to live in, it was nice enough. Nicer than anything you'd find back out on the mainland.
"So quiet," Emmett hummed as he sat you down on the foot of your bed. A look of hunger was evident on his face. "You're such a good girl, Y/N." He knelt down in front of you, torso in between your legs as he peppered kisses along your neck and collarbone.
"Emmett..." You whispered.
"No need to whisper here, sweet girl," He grinned at you. "You can be as loud as you want."
You leaned in, kissing him desperately, the way he pawed at you made you feel weak. Hands slipping underneath your cotton sweater and pulling it over your head, breaking the kiss. "No bra?" Emmett smirked before teeth sank into the top of your left breast, sucking in and creating a plum-colored bruise. He was trying to elicit a reaction out of you, trying to get you to moan, trying to get you to be loud.
"God... Em..." You said through shaky breaths, a little louder this time. He kept marking you until your entire chest was littered with love bites with teeth marks indented around it like some sort of peculiar pattern of rosettes. "Markin' you as mine," He grunted before latching a mouth onto your erect nipple. "Everyone's gonna see ya love, gonna see how you belong to me, and you're my girl" Emmett pulled away from you, pulling off his clean white shirt, revealing his chest hair and the snail trail that tucked itself away under his trousers.
"Emmett... we haven't... had sex in so long..." You bit your lip, thinking about how you had been so stressed and so busy trying to survive that you never really had time to do anything. You thought about how last night you two had separate showers. You had a long hot shower, the first in a long time. Of course, you bathed in creeks but it wasn't the same. You had been given a fresh clean razor when you first arrived on the island as well. Emmett chose to neatly trim his beard but he still kept it long. He knew how you loved his beard.
"I know, need you so fucking bad, feel..." He grabbed your wrist and placed it over his clothed cock, letting you feel how rock-hard he was. You reached up and eagerly tugged down his pants, the ones that fit him so nicely, they were slightly high-waisted and they weren't caked in dirt or old blood. You wondered what Emmett was like before this all started, you wondered how you two would've gotten along, though you quickly remembered that he had a wife before all of this. "Gonna suck my cock? Must be a special occasion, go on, baby, suck me off."
You give a timid lick to the weeping head of his cock, sighing happily at the taste of his precum on the tip of your tongue. "Don't tease." He said firmly. Emmett held you by your hair which was pulled up into a makeshift ponytail. You looked up at him as you slowly wrapped your lips around the tip, sucking harshly and feeling pleased as you see his eyes flutter shut, sinking even further down on his shaft.
Emmett's hips bucked into your mouth involuntarily, you gagged and he moaned at the sight of you. Spit dribbling out of your mouth, lips stretched around his thick cock and eyes all watery for him. One of your fingers slipped underneath your shorts, slowly rubbing at your clit and moaning around his dick as he began fucking in and out of your mouth, letting tears slip down your face.
"I love your little mouth," He grunted deliriously, hands on either side of your head as he fucked it harshly, using you like a fleshlight. "I wanna cum down your throat... fuck... but I need to be inside you." He slowly pulled his wet cock from your dribbling mouth. You gasped in for air, massaging your aching jaw as he stroked himself slowly.
"I want you to cum inside of me... please..." You whispered. He had never done that before, the last thing you two needed was for you to get pregnant during a time like this. But things were different now, you were on the island, and maybe you could raise a baby together finally. "Please... Emmett..." Your glossy eyes looked up at him, pleading silently with him.
Emmett's eyes glazed over, he looked like was high as you slipped your shorts and underwear off, revealing your freshly shaved cunt to him. His jaw fell open as he whimpered, "Fuck, look at that," Emmett let go of himself and approached you slowly, pushing you down and spreading your legs open to look down at this new look for you. "What a pretty little thing... can't believe you did this for me."
"All for you, daddy." You hummed quietly, no louder than you would when you'd fuck in the bunker. He grunted at the nickname as he fell down on top of you, holding himself up with one arm and the other helped guide his throbbing hard-on to your gushing pussy. "Are you gonna cum in me?" "So desperate for it, 'course I'm gonna fuckin' cum in ya," He remarked, pushing into you slowly. "How could I deny you of that? Especially 'cause you asked so nicely."
You arched your back, slapping a hand over your mouth to cover your moans like you always did for him as his cock was now fully sheathed within you. The stretch ached deliciously, pussy clenching around him, begging him to move.
"Fuck..." You whined, eyes rolling to the back of your head, nails digging into Emmett's strong shoulders. "Emmett..." You whispered. You were trying your best to stay quiet as he began grinding into you.
"Speak up for me," Emmett groaned, rolling his hips right into where you needed him. "Need to hear you scream for me, baby... I know you've got it in you."
You shook your head, whimpering as he fucked you like a pornstar, panting above you, mouth agape and eyes clearly displeased with your disobedient reaction. One of his nimble fingers slipped down your stomach and onto your pulsing clit, you were painfully aroused, every stroke of his dick brushing perfectly against your g-spot. Your mind goes completely blank, legs squeezing and shaking around him, nails leaving claw marks on Emmett's biceps. You couldn't help but start to scream, he was fucking you so passionately you couldn't hold it in.
"That's it," He breathily said. "That's my girl, tell me how good I'm fucking you." "So good!" You moaned, sounding like you were being railed within an inch of your life. His balls slapped against your ass and Emmett's hands now were gripping onto your hips, holding you tightly, manhandling you into the bed and using you to chase his own pleasure. You were a mess, an extremely loud mess, on the brink of tears at how good he fucked you. "God.... daddy! Oh... fuck... wanna have your babies!"
A sick grin spread across his blissed-out face, high on the feeling of your tight cunt all stretched out around him. "Then I'll give you my babies if that's what you want, gonna cream in you, gonna fill you with my cum every fuckin' night til..." He gasped out, stuttering on his words, you were squeezing him tighter than ever, his raspy tone of voice bringing you closer to cumming your brains out. "...Gonna fill you with my cum every night til... I see you walkin' round all pregnant and glowing with my kid in you."
You nodded your head desperately and cried like a slut, Emmett leaned down and intimately pressed his forehead against your own, thrusts sloppy as you felt the orgasm unleash itself upon you. The pleasure is hot and white and consuming, words incoherent as you scream out. His own seed fills you like an endless fountain, the vibrations of his own moaning in your neck send you further down that spiral of pleasure.
"Oh, daddy..." You're gasping out for air, your hands cupping your own tits as he still rutted into you, almost a bit pathetically, his cum spilling out of you as his seed just kept on coming. "So... so full..."
His eyes are squeezed shut, the veins in his forehead prominent as he slowly begins to come down. He didn't say a word as he collapsed on top of you, catching his breath, sweaty skin pressed against you. "My love... took me so well..."
"I think I was too loud..." You bit your lip, feeling incredibly flustered and embarrassed at how you knew the rest of the island probably heard your late night shenanigans.
"No such thing," Emmett pressed wet kisses along your jaw, trailing them until he reached your lips. "Prettiest thing I've ever heard." He whispered, speaking right into your mouth. "I'm gonna make you scream until your throat is raw, I'm addicted to your sounds."
You could feel him grow hard again and his hungry lips took yours in his again and the screaming began again, this time concealed within a kiss.

A Closer Encounter
Here it is, Part 2 of Close Encounter. Emmett has been spotted. Does she run? Does she stay? Smut MINORS DNI tags: dirty talk, daddy kink, p in v sex, unprotected sex 1.5k words
Tumblr media
She smiled. All the air in Emmett’s lungs disappeared. He tried his damdest to keep eye contact and not wander downwards. His mouth suddenly dry as her hand reached up to touch his beard. Time stood still between the two as she ran her hand through the soft hairs. He wanted to close his eyes at the sudden touch but didn’t, in fear it was all a dream. She didn’t know why she did that, before all this, touching him would’ve been the farthest from her mind. She literally just caught him watching her bathe with his pants down, he didn’t deserve her touch, yet she did anyways. She noticed his strong shoulders, and how easily he could pick her up and move her as he pleased. It wasn’t the worst idea in the world. “Stop it, you`re just as bad as this pervert.” she thought to herself. “What are you doing, get your hand away from him. Over here petting him like a stray dog.”  
As her hand starts to move away from his face, Emmett panics and grabs her wrist. “Please don’t,” he pleads. His voice rough and hoarse from hardly being used, “It’s been a long time since another human touched me, I had almost forgotten what it feels like.” In a moment of recklessness, he pulls her towards his chest, lips almost touching. She can feel his heart beating one hundred miles an hour under his shirt. His rough hand still holding her wrist, the other he had placed on her hip. He wasn’t hurting her; his grip was hard enough to just keep her from running away. “I won’t hurt you,” Emmett rasped, “Just please don’t go.” blinking, she replied, “You do realize I could kill you on the spot for watching me? The world might have gone to hell, but that doesn’t mean common courtesy has to!” She tries to turn away from the gaze of his crystal blue eyes, and that’s when Emmett takes ahold of both her hips. “I’m sorry, I wasn’t aiming to you know...” a slight flush takes up space on his cheeks. “I don’t know what came over me, I just lost control for a minute. I was originally hanging around to keep watch in case something bad happened and you needed help. Besides, you started watching me too!”  
She rolls her eyes at this remark and tries to shove him away. “Oh please. You`re just upset because you got caught. I bet you was a real peeping tom before the world ended.” Emmett’s nostrils flare in frustration at where this conversation is headed. “Peeping tom, huh? Says the naked woman with her thighs crossed tight, like she didn’t enjoy what she saw! Yeah, that’s right, I noticed! Getting all worked up, are we? Should I check you and see if I'm right?” Before there’s even a chance at a rebuttal, Emmett grabs her face and roughly plants his lips on hers. She wants to slap him then and there for the intrusion, but part of her is relishing the attention. There is a fight for dominance during the kiss, but after a while Emmett calms down and his kisses turn sensual. His arms wrapped around her body holding her to him. “Damn him,” she thinks to herself, “Why does he have to be such a good kisser?” Her hands return to his beard, and he moans in her mouth. “Well, if handsome stranger here wants to play, let’s play.” With the realization that she isn’t fighting him anymore, his hands move back to hold on to the ass he spent an afternoon watching.  
Things heat up between the two, teeth and tongues clashing. Trying desperately to stay quiet, Emmett’s shirt comes off. She tries to speak in between kisses, but Emmett holds his hand to her mouth. “Hush now, we must stay quiet, don’t we? Just follow my lead, I'd hate for the creatures to eat you up before I can.” he purrs in her ear backing her up against the nearest tree. To muffle her mews, she busies herself by leaving marks on his neck, and then it’s her turn to hush him. Emmett uses his knee to separate her thighs for him. “Let’s see if I was right, shall we?” he mumbles as his large hand makes its way to feel in between her legs. Knowing what he’ll find, she turns away in embarrassment. An evil smirk appears on his face, as he grabs her chin to make her look at him. “Well, well, I was right, wasn’t I? Why are you so wet right now? Did someone enjoy the little show?” he immediately finds her clit and makes small circles around it. “Just as horny as I am huh? Poor baby, at least I'll admit it.” She clenches her fist at his verbal bashing, ready to hit him. But her pussy also clenches as his thick finger enters her and she hesitates. “Shut the fuck up,” she hisses in his ear, “There is no need to belittle me while having me up against a tree while naked.” She feels Emmett chuckle against her neck. “Poor little thing, so worked up and nowhere to go. Don’t worry, Emmett’s got you Babygirl.” Breathing heavy, her body betrays her as her thighs tremble to keep her upright. The speed and movements of Emmett’s fingers are delicious. He notices her struggling, “Lean on me, I got you. You take my fingers so well. No screaming like a whore now, okay? Be a good girl for me.” 
The pleasure is too much for her as she leans on Emmett. He holds her head into his neck to silence her as she falls apart. As his fingers are being squeezed to death, Emmett mutters curses under his breath. She's not even listening to what he’s saying, as she clamps down on his shoulder. Nails digging into his back, he lets her ride it out. “Well, look at you, that was awful quick.” She looks up at him to glare, but her eyes are all big and glazed over with pleasure and need instead. Emmett wastes no time as he pulls himself out and lines himself up at her entrance. She looks down and finally notices the size of him. He's bigger than she imagined. Biting her bottom lip, she thinks to herself, “This is either going to be really good or really bad.” As if Emmett heard her thoughts he moaned in her ear, “I’m going to make you feel so good baby girl, I worked on you, so it won’t hurt as bad. Don’t let me hurt you too much, keep your eyes on me. I want to see when I hit that spot you like.” With one swift motion he enters her, and her body lets him in.  
Her eyes bulge at the sensation of her walls being stretched by Emmett. It's not unpleasant, but she can tell it’s been a while. His beautiful blue eyes darken as he feels her swallowing him up, her little pussy so small but compliant for him. “You feel so good,” he growls, “I’m so glad I found you so I can give you what I know you need.” All her thoughts go blank as he finds a good pace. She can’t even form words; all she can focus on is Emmett and how good he’s making her feel. She doesn’t even realize her voice is working until his hand goes over her mouth. “I know it feels good, but I'm not trying to share you with the creatures right now. Any other time I'd expect you to scream for me, maybe I'll take you back with me and really wear you out. Be my own personal slut, would you like that? Have nothing to do but take me all day and night. I'll take care of you I promise, daddy just wants to take care of you baby.” At this point her muscles are gone and it’s Emmett that’s holding her upright against the tree. Her arms cling to him for dear life, softly pleading for the release that’s on the horizon.  
Sweat is pouring from them both as he swallows her moans and pleads. Emmett knows she’s close and has a feral need to get her there. He grabs her neck as his other hand goes back down to her clit. “Come on now, I can feel how close you are. Can daddy have it? Can daddy have you come? That's it, just let it go, let it all go.” at his words her orgasm hits her like a freight train. Her eyesight turns hazy, back arching into him. She's too tired to even cry his name out as her mouth opens silently. Emmett is still moving, taking her through it. With one final growl he fills her up, his legs now shaking as well. She feels the warmth that is his cum inside her, making her softly squeeze him with pleasure. He kisses her softly as he moves them down on to the ground. Emmett’s legs have given out finally. Silently, she climbs into his lap, gently kissing his face and neck in thanks. Emmett rubs her back and massages her aching thighs. “Take me back with you.” she tiredly mumbles, “Please Emmett.”  
He looks at her satisfied face with a small smile. “Of course, never thought you’d ask.” kissing her forehead.

“It’s crooked.” Emmett frowned from the couch.
“Okay, that’s like the fourth time you’ve said that.” Travis turned around. “If you think I’ve done such a bad job of it, you hang the damn mirror.”
Vic let out a loud, barking laugh from where she was assembling the dining chairs. “Dude, he literally can’t.” She called over.
“He makes tea!” Travis shouted back, completely ignoring the ghost on the couch.
Emmett cleared his throat. “He is right here and he finds it easier to move some things than others.”
“And yet you can draw.” Travis muttered, rolling his eyes and turning back to face the mirror. He paused for a moment and adjusted it, tilting it to the left.
“Okay, you just made that way worse.” Emmett disappeared from the couch, only to reappear right beside him a split second later. “You need to move this side down at least two inches.”
Travis obliged, following directions as Emmett called them out.
“Oh hey, looks good.” Vic walked through the living room as they finished, carrying an armful of trash to the designated pile by the front door. “You guys think I’ve got time for a shower before heading down to the woods?”
“Yes, but why?” Travis asked as she sorted the trash into what could and couldn’t be recycled. “You’re just going to change and then spend all night rolling in the dirt.”
She paused for a moment. “Fair point. In that case I’m going to the store and buying a ton of raw meat. Do we still have the cat cage for me to stuff it in?” She said standing up.
“Nope, you destroyed it last full moon.” Travis told her, turning his head to follow her as she walked back to the dining room. “Do you want me to go and get a new one?”
“Please, the woman at the pet store keeps giving me weird looks.” She stuck her head back out of the kitchen a moment later. “Are you good for feeds?”
“Considering you had a slow day yesterday, he’s going to need another couple of blood bags. Or he’ll be unbearable.” Emmett answered for him. “I should be able to steal some from the hospital now you’ve shown me where they are. It’s not like I’m going to be seen on security cameras.”
“Great.” Vic said, carrying another armful of stuff to the pile. “Sounds like we’ve got a plan.”
“Do you want me to check on Hot Doctor while I’m there? See if he flirts with the other paramedics when you’re not around?” He teased, putting on a bad impersonation. “Oh, I’m sorry, I’m tall and blonde and perfect and I only like girls who act uninterested then tell me they can’t have a relationship because they’re sick after I fix their dislocated shoulder.” Travis tried and failed to contain his laughter as she shot them both a glare.
It was a poor imitation of the man Vic had been on a handful of dates with, but she let it slide because the boys didn’t mean anything by it. Neither of her roommates really knew him, as he’d only been to the house twice and both times she had made it very clear that there were to be no supernatural gate crashers, especially not the sort he couldn’t see. He’d met Travis a little at the hospital and Emmett had definitely spied on him a few times, but they didn’t really know much about him.
“I still can’t believe he bought that lie.” Travis chuckled as he put the hammer and unused spirit level away and closed the toolbox with a loud click. “He’s a doctor, and he just believed you when you said you had a non specific medical condition that caused you to black out every full moon?”
“I didn’t phrase it like that.” She groaned loudly. “I might’ve been less specific about the frequency and implied it was due to the trauma of being attacked a few years back? I think he thinks it’s some weird kind of PTSD.”
“He’s going to realise your ‘episodes’ line up with the full moon eventually.”
“Uh, no, he isn’t, because moon cycles are not something most non supernaturally inclined people pay attention to. And I highly doubt he could tell the difference between the full moon and the night before or after.” She stopped in between where the two of them were stood looking at the mirror it had taken all afternoon to put up, resting her elbow on Travis’ shoulder and looking at the reflection.
“Damn.” She said after a moment. “We look good.”
Both of the boys tried to brush off the compliment, clearly flattered, before they realised that neither of them could actually be seen in the mirror.
They both started talking over each other, getting progressively louder as she got further away, the noise of their complaining about what a bad joke and how unfair it had been as a comment echoing after her as she ran up the stairs to get changed.

Twilight Clown Takes—Part 10
Featuring “Twilight is badly written,” “Meyer did not intend to write X thing she definitely wrote,” “The series is über Mormon,” and other chestnuts. Fortunately, I do love nuts of all kinds, so om nom nom
Tumblr media
The writing was so gibberish it was a bestselling phenomenon on par with Harry Potter.
The only thing bad about the writing in Twilight is that Meyer got a very bad editor. There are stray typos and errors in my original copies. Sadly, book editing has gotten worse since then, and I have found many modern books with similar errors.
Tumblr media
Bella is not like other girls, all right. So much so that she constantly claims she is. Like here:
“Well, look at me,” I said, unnecessarily, because he was looking at me. “I’m completely ordinary.”
Tumblr media
IF the dialogue in the books is like the movie dialogue…IF
Tumblr media
“This main character is such a main character!!1!1” 😡 “Also big words make my wee lil brain hurt!!1!1”
Tumblr media
Bella is literally so expressive around Edward and the Cullens, to the point where Alics mentions sourly she had “forgotten how exuberant” she was. Emmett and Jasper have a bet over how many people Bella could kill in her first year just on her temper alone. And re: Edward, Bella has no problem arguing and pleading and crying and ranting to him.
Also, Jacob is a different, much more immature character than Bella, so of course his POV would be different.
Tumblr media
“Deeply desperate for sexuality” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣And these clowns claim Meyer is a bad writer. Don’t go throwing stones with your glass house, hon.
Anyhoo, Edward is the one who pushes for marriage, not Bella. Rosalie and Emmett get married every decade or so, but that’s only because Rosalie loves weddings—as in, being the center of attention. Do Alice and Jasper even have a wedding ceremony??? I don’t even think they got married in the traditional sense even once. No doubt they did, but they aren’t portrayed as a conventional married couple at all.
Other vampires that are not the Cullens do not marry at all—they are mated, which is an actually a greater and more permanent commitment than marriage in the Twilight world.
Also. The Twilight series, fearing sexuality? The Denali sisters literally went vegetarian because they loved fucking human men too much. And they are considered not only good vampires, but the Cullens’ extended family. And Renesmee nor Claire are child brides.
Twilight isn’t explicit about sex purely because Meyer realized her first book would be targeted to a YA crowd. But it is a romance through and through.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ho boy, where to begin?
“Edward is supposed to be creepy, he is a vampire after all—” Would you like a cookie for this very obvious reading, Clown OP? That is some elementary school-level reading comprehension there.
“Failed to write an arc where the character recognize the problems, learn, and then overcome them—” Edward literally went from “She is my prey” to “I have her blood on my lips, and I am laughing at a joke she just made” in the first book alone. In New Moon, Edward made the disastrous decision to leave Bella, ramifications of which he was still dealing with in Eclipse (and he explicitly said it was the worst mistake he ever made). In Eclipse, Edward finally learns to trust Bella, fight for her love, and even decides to give her what she wants (i.e., sex) because he felt that he had been fucking it up the whole time. By Breaking Dawn, we have an Edward who finally accepts himself for who he is and learns to be happy in his vampire life.
As for Bella, she went from an introverted parentified teen so neglected she felt she had to cook and clean for her parents in order to feel less of a burden…to the powerful member of a coven who loves and supports her, saving the lives of said coven and mate from the Volturi. By the end Bella finally learns that what she wants is important and to fight for it. She learns to accept gifts and attention. She even finally describes herself as beautiful…as a human. That’s so big! That is an arc.
It is glaringly obvious, that I must question whether Clown OP has read the series or not. Most clowns do not, of course.
“The story never digs deep enough into him being a real danger to Bella—” Bitch, that’s all of the story. It’s literally 80% of Edward’s personality right there! He is too bad for Bella, it would be better if he weren’t in Bella’s life, it’s literally never-ending. A whole chunk of Bella’s motivation for becoming a vampire is because his world is too dangerous for her as a human. The whole plot of each book is Bella being hunted by a vampire, who are consistently the villains and described as monsters.
“Trying to turn Stephenie into the new J.K. Rowling—” When I picked up Twilight in ‘06 it was labeled as “Romantic Suspense.” The whole series was explicitly marketed as a paranormal teen romance, which was and is a subgenre of fantasy, with the whole Team Edward and Team Jacob thing riding strong. Twilight never tried to be something it wasn’t, and Meyer has never tried to make it out to seem like some epic fantasy. On the contrary, it was the anti fans that preferred the lore to the actual romance.
Nowadays the series is shelved under YA Fantasy, but that was after the series was completed. Breaking Dawn was perhaps the deciding factor.
Tumblr media
Sure, Meyer was not aware of something she absolutely 100% wrote.
Bella’s parentification was canon before Midnight Sun was a twinkle in Meyer’s eye. And sure enough, when that landed, Bella’s neglect became downright glaring. But go on espousing sexist biases about female writers “not intending” certain things, Clown OP. It’s not like that isn’t a page taken from the Suppressing Women Writers handbook. When you know, you know.

Its one of my favorite movi-ITS JUSTIN!! why is Justin here? Poor Bria- FOR A CHANGE? Fuck you Justin, that’s rude. See?! That comment even hurt Brian’s feelings. Why did he feel like he has to say he’s alone? HMMM. Why Brian? Why did you have to make it clear that no one else is here but you two? CANT ACCEPT WH- FUCK ME SIDEWAYS AND CALL IT PARKOUR BRIAN PAID HIS TUITION! HE STILL PAID FOR IT?! FOR A NEW SCHOOL YEAR? EVEN THO THEY BROKE UP AND HE CHEATED! HE STILL PAID THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS? I wouldn’t give him a penny. WAIT LET ME CALM DOWN…okay, I’m calm. doesn’t Justin still owe him for stealing his credit card? This dude is in more debt by 20 than every other American. A DEAL IS A DEAL. He cares about him even now. He wants his to do good! He wants hi-HE HAS RAGE, HE PACKED HIS COMPUTER?! That he paid for?! I AM SO NOT CHILL! FUCK BEING CHILL! CHILL IS IN MY REARVIEW MIRROR so let me get this hetero *turns to paused Brian on tv* once again, sorry, so 1) he paid for his tuition ahead of time just cause he knew he cant afford it 2) he packed his computer that he bought cause he knows he needs it and 3) he mentioned rage.. and all those little shits swear he doesn’t care, i mean sure he hides it but can you blame him? He was raised in a house that was on fire with parents that purposely threw gasoline on it. So obviously he would hide the glass of water that would keep him alive (i swear i didnt move a single muscle while he talked) dont give me that look! Everything makes sense in here *points several times to his head and accidentally pokes himself in the eye* ow..you didn’t see that.’ ‘I am still confused about Emmett and Ted. I really like them as friends and i don’t want this to ruin it but if they stay cool like they were before, i will love it. But please stop the lover thing’ ‘OH OH OH PLEASE TELL ME THAT THE CELLO FUCKER FINDS OUT BRIAN IS STILL PAYING!!! Please make me happ- Oh justin and Mike, is it weird that i kind of like Michael this episode..I can’t remember if he pissed me off or not, so i guess he’s cool right now, oh he’s here for the money. Get that money!….why is JT playing a trumpet? wait I focused on the wrong thing, he listened to Brian! Brian said ONE thing and Justin went “yup. On it boss” A DEAL IS A DEAL THATS WHAT BRIAN SAID! HE LISTENED! oh brian looks bad. He literally looks like he’s going to overdose. Is he gonna drop on the ground? He looks bad. And people look at this *waves to brian* and say he’s fine? I swear the only reason they thinks so is cause they have never actually seen this man be fine. So they think THAT is his fine. I need to go get some air, i am very upset about this’ He then proceeded to go outside and dragged a chair in the middle of the yard where he then ended up falling asleep. I would call it progress but at this point I know better.
I love the First Wives Club “I have feelings…I’m an actress, I have all of them!”
FUCK ME SIDEWAYS AND CALL IN PARKOUR - I’m going to propose to your brother before this is done.
A DEAL IS A DEAL - so fucking romantic. Sorry Mr. “I don’t Do Romance” Kinney.
“He was raised in a house that was on fire with parents that purposefully threw gasoline on it. So obviously he would hide the glass of water that would keep him alive.”
“He was raised in a house that was on fire with parents that purposefully threw gasoline on it. So obviously he would hide the glass of water that would keep him alive.”
Guys, gals, non-binary pals - standing ovation for Brother Anon. HE GETS IT. He gets our beloved Brian. Our trauma onion. He honestly gets him better than the writer who penned the email explaining the shit show that was S5 gets him ( @sophsun1 linked to it ) HE IS ONE OF US.
Wait I focused on the wrong thing - a deal is a deal that’s what Brian said! He listened! Brian is not done raising this kid.
“And people look at this *waves to Brian* and say he’s fine? I swear the only reason they think so is cause they have never actually seen this man be fine. So they think THAT is his fine.”
I am once again saying that your brother gets him better than the writers of the fucking show.

i haven’t done a what i’m playing/watching post in awhile so let’s do that (no spoilers)
(thanks for finally fucking adding a read more button in mobile, jeez)
been watching nge with phil for a bit, we’re quite near the end and would be done by now if i hadn’t had to press pause cause my mental health unexpectedly got real bad 😔 thank u bestie for your patience with me 🙏 i’ve been promising to do this with her since forever and i feel pretty shitty bringing it to a halt like this lmao.
last night bella and i started watching channel zero on a whim, we’re nearly through the first season aka teeth child the child made of teeth. i don’t know how intentional some of the humor in this has been but i’ve actually guffawed out loud at some points. i feel like it is somewhat meant to be a bit cheeky and dark since it’s kris straub-derived, you know in that way when something fucked up happens and somebody smiles and says “everything’s fine” as if you didn’t see the fucked-up thing with your own two eyeballs. that kind of funny. (“these are tortillas.” you know what i mean.)
we also binged good omens season 2 in one afternoon. uhh i really enjoyed it. i liked how it decided to tell a smaller story this time. you know how so often in shows and things the stakes have to keep escalating. and good omens started with the literal end of the world so they were like hm. let’s just scale it back and tell a love story or two. all on this one little street. like… it feels like fun supplementary material to the first season. like a tie-in novel kind of thing if that makes sense. i dunno it just feels kinda like… the right move. it makes it more, dare i say, human and personal, which kind of dovetails well with the themes of the first season. like a little complement. and ofc. the casting and acting are just so exemplary. i have a crush on every boy.
we’ve also watched some movies. i’m not sure i remember them all but here are the most recent ones:
i watched the heathers musical (a proshot is free with adds on roku). here’s a confession: i’ve never seen the movie and didn’t fully know the plot other than murder? so i was like hm maybe the teen suicide satire was not the best choice for a bad mental health episode. but anyway i watched all of it. the performances are really good, especially heather chandler who just ate every scene and knew it. the songs were pretty good too, dead girl walking and i say no were probably the best ones. ohhhh and i loved the actress who played martha, she was flawless. it was pretty fun(?) but weirdly like… sincerely uplifting for being a dark satire. more has been written by people who know much better than me about the “musicals for teens” trend so i won’t go into it but it feels like this is an extension of that.
i also watched legally blonde the musical (uploaded probably not legally to youtube from when it aired on mtv in 2007 so the quality isn’t amazing but it’s perfectly watchable). it is a lot of fun. a couple of weird added-in race things? but again, it’s from 2007. oh but i hated paulette’s intro song and i just don’t understand why they decided to do… that with her character. just a baffling choice. the actress was really good though. we also did some dissecting about how they gave elle less agency in her own empowerment in favor of emmett doing it which wasn’t a great choice!!!! anyway definitely not as good as the movie but very fun as a supplement to it. and dogs!!!!
i saw the autopsy of jane doe for the first time. it was a pretty good time! some really good spookenings and lots of little fucked-up things happening, which is what i like in a horror movie. i’ll definitely watch it again.
we watched infinity pool and i just don’t know exactly how i feel about it! i prrrrobably won’t watch it again actually, but not because it was bad, just because it was like, ah well that was an experience, but not one that needs to be repeated. the themes and ideas were good and executed in an interesting way, i think ultimately it’s just not exactly For Me. however mia goth as always is perfection. remember when i saw emma period and i said harriet stole the show. i was ahead of my time.
we also watched influencer which might kind of be a new favorite! such good acting especially by the lead. just loved all the choices it made, most of which i was not expecting. a good fucking time tbh. also absolutely gorgeous scenery, every frame a painting truly.
a little while back i watched gone in the night with winona ryder. i need to stress that i watched this in two halves a couple days apart cause that really drove home how fucking off the rails this movie gets in the latter half. the first half is a pretty standard intriguing mystery and then the second is just like let’s answer all these questions in the most out-there way possible short of bringing anything supernatural or aliens into the mix. not a good movie i’ll be honest!!
i really want to see talk to me, which will maybe be on streaming next month but probably only for renting/“owning” blah. also red white and royal blue drops next friday! i think that’s gonna be a fun time with the girlies.
i haven’t really read anything lately, i started a book a few weeks ago but haven’t really had the mental fortitude to focus on it.
as for the games i’ve been spending some time with my switch lately. i’ve messed around quite a bit in zelda, did my third divine beast. i have to admit, guys. i just really fucking hate the weapon degradation system. combat in general in this game just isn’t a thing i enjoy at all. it’s very hard for me to get stuck in which is why it’s taking so long to finish it. i have to spend so much time breaking and changing weapons and i just really really don’t like that. and then hitting with the weapons isn’t fun and then they break again. which is a shame cause i like so many other things about it. exploration is like my favorite thing to do in games. if it wasn’t so bogged down by the stupid weapon system i’d be having a lot more fun. idk why this choice was made. it wasn’t a good one. at the very least they could have made things not be SO brittle so that it’s not SO VERY MUCH of the gameplay. but anyway. I like collecting all my little items and making little gear upgrades and throwing things in a pot and seeing what comes out, especially when it makes that little noise that means you did real good.
i also have finally got back to hadesgame. I remember why i stopped!!!!! because i feel like i’m hitting my head against a wall and not actually getting any better!!!!! but i have done lots of little side things, upgrades and relationships and prophecies and things. plus it’s just a really good time sink, which i’ve kind of needed lately. i could switch on god mode at any time, but i know i can succeed without it, i just… don’t know how. cause i am constantly not succeeding. blaaaaaaaah.
(playing it has made me need to listen to hadestown several more times tho. as an aside.)
i also started kentucky route zero. i like it a lot so far, but it’s like reading in that it’s not an instant gratification colors and noises game, it’s something i gotta focus on, so it’s been a bit slow. still, definitely my shit and i’m looking forward to seeing where it goes. might have slightly spoiled myself trying to find out if the dog dies but. whatever. the journey not the destination.
i’ve probably watched more stuff but i don’t really remember it. that’s probably the bulk of things from the last couple months anyway. happy august ig.

Twilight (2008)
Tumblr media
Popcorn Rating: 4/5 —
Half a point for the baseball scene.
A full point for Charlie.
Another full point for the “you’re impossibly fast” monologue that lives rent-free in my brain.
Half a point for the vibes.
Another full point for everyone hot in the Cullen house not named Edward.
⚠️ Spoilers ahead! Click to keep reading (at your own risk) ⚠️
“I’d never given much thought to how I would die…” And yet here we are, fifteen years later, still willingly rewatching Twilight—the film that launched a thousand debates, memes, and the inexplicable popularity of cargo jackets.
Let’s call it what it is: Twilight is the cinematic equivalent of a Hot Topic fever dream, and somehow? Still iconic. Kristen Stewart perfected the art of lip-biting, Robert Pattinson looked like he wanted to be anywhere else (relatable), and the soundtrack? Still slaps. (Decode by Paramore deserves an award, actually.)
Nostalgia hits hardest when Bella arrives in Forks looking like she’s allergic to eye contact, and Edward covers his face in biology like she just crop-dusted the lab. Sparks. Fly.
But let’s talk about the real MVPs:
Charlie Swan, the mustachioed, flannel-wrapped king of dad jokes and quiet concern. We didn’t appreciate him enough back then. We do now.
Carlisle Cullen, vampire doctor extraordinaire with the moral compass of a saint and the bone structure of a Greek god. Literal dad goals.
Also, I had (and still have) a crush on every member of the Cullen clan except Edward. Emmett? Charming chaos. Jasper? Brooding cowboy chic. Alice? Fashion icon with murder energy. Rosalie? Walked in like a goddess and has never once looked bad. Even Esme? Elegant and could absolutely ground me for my tone and I’d say “thank you.”
Edward, though? Let’s talk. The man was lurking in Bella’s room while she slept before they even had a proper relationship. In 2008, some swooned. In 2025? We’re sending that red flag straight to the FBI. It’s giving “creepy Victorian ghost boyfriend” energy, but with better cheekbones.
Watching Twilight now is like rediscovering a deeply embarrassing yet comforting journal entry from your teen years—cringey, dramatic, but kind of iconic. The pacing is weird, the dialogue is stilted, and yet… it has charm. It’s awkward and hormonal and weirdly tender. Like your first crush. But undead.
So go ahead. Pop some popcorn, pull out your "Team Charlie" shirt (you know you want one), and give Twilight the chaotic love it deserves.

Wreckless - Going home
Tumblr media
*Warning Adult Content*
Emmett
I've had blood taken twice, an IV put in for no reason and done a lot of waiting.
Then I got a CT scan and got checked over by a neurologist who, thank God for years of schooling, thinks I have a concussion.
No shit.
Now I'm waiting, again.
I have no idea what I'm still doing here.
"Hey Emmett. How are you?"
Finnegan.
He shouldn't be here.
He should be working but I'm too tired to argue.
"Tired. Want some ibuprofen and to go home."
"Let me see what I can do about that. I'm gonna tell the doctor we're brothers."
Damn it, laughing hurts.
He's gone so I lie back and close my eyes again.
"The nurse will be here within ten minutes. You have to sign some things and then we can go."
That sounds familiar.
"They said that an hour ago."
"Relax, I'll handle it, bro."
Bro?
"Don't make me laugh."
"Sorry," he whispers.
"Rest."
Can do.
A few minutes later a nurse actually arrives and I get print-outs and have to tell them my birthday yet again.
I let Finnegan do most of the talking and before long he's pushing me towards the elevator in a wheelchair.
"I can walk."
"And I can push."
I think it but don't say it so of course he does.
"As proven at the beach. Seriously, bad things never happen there, we should go back."
That's actually sounding really good right now but I'd rather be in bed.
He holds the chair and hovers while I climb into his SUV.
"Glad it's higher, easier."
Seriously, I'm falling in love with this car.
"Can we get McDonalds?"
What can I say?
It's comfort food.
I want a whole carton of piping hot fries.
And a big mac.
And an apple pie.
So I tell him so.
"Whatever you want today, sweetheart."
Sweetheart? He's sweet.
"I'm not sweet."
"You are literally the kindest, sweetest guy I've ever met. Granted, you're a bit grumpy right now but you have a good reason to be. Okay hold on, food imminent."
I close my eyes while he orders and pays and don't open them again until he puts a steaming bag on my lap.
"Thank you."
"Anytime. Home?"
"Yeah."
When we get home he makes me wait while he brings down a sheet and bed pillows for the couch.
He drapes the sheet over the seat and back, helps me out of my clothes and then installs me on the extra snuggly couch.
I get a blanket, my McDonalds, a bottle of water, Tylenol and the remote.
I doubt I'll watch but it's a nice thought.
"Thanks darling."
"Anything else you need? I wanna read these discharge papers."
"You don't need to read those, I just have a concussion and a stupid gash on my head. You should go back to work if you need to."
"I figured Tylenol would be better because of the head wound.  I'm not going back to work, Emmett. I'll check in later and do some work from home tomorrow but right now I'm all yours."
"I'm just going to eat and then rest until the pills kick in. Wake me up in two hours or I won't be able to sleep later. If you can't wake me up or I start vomiting all over the place, call the hospital."
There, now he doesn't need to read the papers.
********
"Emmett? Emmett?"
Huh? Oh.
My head. Ow.
Finnegan.
"Hey darling."
"Thank God, I was sort of scared to try to wake you up because if I couldn't... but you're fine. Need anything?"
"To piss."
He helps me off the couch as if I'm an invalid and shadows me to the bathroom.
"Gonna hold my cock, too?"
"Somehow I doubt that would help you pee. God, I hope it wouldn't."
"No, no darling it wouldn't. You holding me is not exactly relaxing. Go, I'm fine."
"I'll wait right outside."
Fine.
I haven't been mothered like this since, well, it's been a long time.
I would complain except that I doubt it would do any good and I don't want to.
It's kind of nice, actually.
I make sure to wash my hands really well since he's listening.
I need him to cut off this stupid bracelet.
He'll be glad to help.
He puts me back on the couch and brings me a book and then he does something that means a lot. 
He puts his box of toys on the coffee table. 
"You can play with them if you want."

I really didn't wanna get slapped, so here's more.
Rick's bar was a dive.
It was a small hole in the wall on an unassuming street in Port Angeles, with a giant glossy wood bar taking up the majority of the space. The bar was nicked and chipped in enough places that I was sure if I went to order a coke I'd get a splinter and maybe tetanus. There was a smallish floor interspersed with tables and booths on the wall opposite the bar. And a stage.
A tiny one, really. Miniscule. I'd practically be on top of Tara and Ben while I played.
But I'd be playing.
Rick himself was behind the bar, pouring drinks and arguing with the regulars. He glanced up when we entered from the back door, lugging equipment. "Hey, kids," he groused. "Go ahead and set up, but I'm not letting in the under-agers until seven."
Ben nodded, clearly used to his gruffness. "Thanks, Rick."
Rick flagrantly ignored him and went back to his vehement defense of the Seahawks defensive line to a guy who looked like he and the stool beneath him had fused into a single unit.
"Wow," I said.
Tara coughed out a laugh. "Yeah," she droned, "he's definitely someone's mean uncle."
"But he lets us play," Ben called from the stage, where he was currently unloading his kick drum. "So he could literally slap me across the face and I'd say 'thank you'."
I couldn't help but agree. There was a humming in my veins that I hadn't felt in months. I was going to play music with my friends.
In the two weeks between my audition and this gig, we'd been practicing so much that we'd sort of become inseparable. We discussed the set list over lunch. I was so used to seeing Lauren on Tyler's lap that I usually forgot that she was glaring at me so intensely. Tara and I had smoked in the woods twice already, and I seriously needed to pay her back for her weed. And Ben... Well, clearly Ben had it bad for Angela, and by the grace of being her friend, I knew she did too.
It was... fun. Being involved in things was fun.
Even when the miraculous prodigal ginger returned to school last week, it didn't phase me.
Well, that's not strictly true, but I was sure he couldn't tell I'd been phased. He'd said nothing to me, and I returned the favor with vigor.
He certainly didn't know I'd had a panic attack over it in the women's room after bio and skipped English.
But I was better now, and it didn't matter. I was going to play music with my friends.
When my amp was plugged in and my bass was tuned, I unstrapped it and set it down in the stand. "I'm gonna get a soda," I said, choosing to test my yearly flu shot, "anybody want something?"
"Coke," Tara said, and I was pretty sure she meant the soda.
"World peace," Ben intoned from behind the kit, adjusting cymbal height.
"Sex on the Beach," Tyler said, flashing me yet another of his lascivious smirks.
"Done, done, and in your dreams," I tossed back over a shoulder as I made my way to the bar. The place was starting to fill up, and we had fifteen minutes until Rick started letting in the kids from school. Angela was coming, and Lauren obviously, and Jessica. Jess was bringing Mike, and I heard that Eric Yorkie was bringing the Mathletes.
I ordered four Cokes, as I doubted that Rick's ancient soda gun had Dr. Pepper, and watched the windows while I waited. I spotted our friends in the line, and a few other people from classes that I'd never spoken to. I gave a quick wave, then juggled glasses back over to the stage, passing them around and then chugging my own. I needed the sugar high. I was nervous.
I fiddled with my bass instead of looking up when the doors opened for our classmates. The air became stifling. It was crowded in here.
I took in a few deep breaths. I glanced up and almost puked. It was standing room only.
"Go Bella!" Mike shouted from his booth, and Jessica smacked him on the arm.
And tucked in the back corner, at a tiny table, was Alice Cullen and Rosalie Cullen. Emmett was winding back from the bar with four drinks. There was someone sitting out of sight on the far end.
I hoped it was Jasper, but somehow I knew it wasn't.
He doesn't get to win, I said to myself. He doesn't get to win, he doesn't get to have music, he doesn't get to have your friends, he doesn't get to win.
Tyler, his guitar slung low across his hips, grabbed the mic.
"Hey, we're Closing Time," he said, and I swear to God I heard Lauren giggle somewhere.
Ben's sticks began slapping together, counting us in.
One.
Two.
I had four counts to make my peace.
One.
Deep breath.
Two.
Straight spine.
Three.
Adjust stance.
Four.
I jumped into the song, weaving the bass line into the melody. I sang the harmonies with Tyler. I glanced back at Tara, who beamed at me with unrestrained glee.
"This is the dawning of the rest of our lives," Tyler and I were belting now, voices blending across the bar. We were back to back, leaning against each other and using the same mic.
Pretty dramatic for a dive gig, but I was feeling the moment.
The bass in my bones.
The drums in my ribcage.
The show continued and we played and I felt it then, the way I always used to. Like his eyes were a physical touch along my skin. He was watching me. I refused to do the same.
I started to itch, as though the act of not returning his gaze was festering in my blood. I ignored it.
The last song came, and I was the vocalist on it.
I stepped up and Mike started hollering and Angela gave a whistle that pierced my ears. Some kids from my Trig class whooped. The song started, and I let myself go. I wasn't anyone. I wasn't Bella, the chief's daughter, or Bella the abandoned, or Bella the klutz, or Bella at all.
I was a voice in a room, hands on a bass, and lips on a mic.
"I'll write you just to let you know that I'm alright. Can't say I'm sad to see you go, cause I'm not."
I glanced up.
He was watching me, a look of devastation so plain on his angelic features that it winded me for a second.
But just a second.
I smirked, copying Tyler as best I could, and stepped back into Tara's space for the instrumental section of the song. She and I leaned into each other, foreheads together, beaming at each other. I made a kissy face at her and she rolled her eyes, prompting me to laugh before heading back to the microphone.
The song ended.
"Thanks, we're Closing Time," I said over the cheering.
By the time my bass was in its stand and I made my way into the bar to thank people for coming, the Cullens were gone.
do it. write it. do it
Say. Less. 
*
There’s never anyone actually interesting in these chats. 
There’s me, who actually wants to discuss music, the way it feels, the lyrics’ poetic meanings, the way the drums crash like they’re my own heartbeat. And then there’s guys who might want to discuss that, but are probably here for the other occupants of the forum: girls obsessed with band members. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t have anything against them, and I fully understand geeking out over Pete Wentz (although I’ve always been more of a Stump girl) or Gerard Way or even Chester Bennington. I just keep having to switch to new forums when it’s clear that no one else wants to talk about the music, but instead have guys who claim to look like Adam Lazarra scam the email addresses and photos off those girls. 
Which brings me here, to another new forum chat, scrolling through older posts about who drums harder: Travis Barker or Mike Kinsella, as the chat scrolls by on the right side of the screen. I was mindlessly scrolling, mentally agreeing or disparaging the opinions of other posters, too scared to comment. This site was pretty neat, and the account I’d had to create to post comments and chat had spaces for a list of my favorites, which I’d happily included. It also had a little bio, which I’d filled in with my name and age, as well as one of my favorite lyrics.
I kept one eye on the chat as it went, keeping up with the current discussion of how best to cut your bangs. I typed up a quick note that the best way to cut your bangs was to see a local hairdresser so you didn’t end up with Buffy season three bangs instead of the side-sweep you wanted. 
Emo-ward: But is it really, truly in the spirit of punk rock if you don’t cut them yourself?
HellsBells: I think to be a real punk, you’d probably need to like different bands. To be alt, you can visit a salon or resign yourself to botched hair. 
Emo-ward: Seems like the majority is going to choose the second option.
HellsBells: Well, sometimes we must suffer for the cause. 
Emo-Ward wants to send you a private message. Accept. Decline. 
I was stunned. No one ever requested me. My cursor hovered over “Accept”, my finger twitching. My mother, as scattered as she was, had always warned me about being too open online. What if this was like, a forty-five year old man who preyed on kids in chat rooms? What if it was a serial killer? What if it was someone from school trying to humiliate me? What if it was a kid from school who wanted to humiliate me and also did a little serial killing on the side? 
Okay, I was being ridiculous. I knew nothing about this person. Hell, I hadn’t even looked at their profile. So I right-clicked the name in the chat and opened another window to his profile. Like mine, the profile had no picture, and instead had a graphic. It was Gerard Way but his hair had been edited to be bright green. I snorted, remembering my own, which was Britney Spears edited with a scene girl haircut that this chick in my Western Civ class had emailed to me as a joke after seeing the Ataris CD in my portable player. The name listed was Edward, the age as 16, and he had a lyric on his profile too. 
“Watching from the floor.”
I recognized it, small as it was. It was from “Dear Maria, Count Me In”. I was a little surprised. Great song choice. 
It seemed he wasn’t too sketchy. 
I went back to the original page, steeled my nerves and hit “Accept.” 
Emo-ward: Do you really have time in your veins? 
My tongue pressed to the inside of my cheek. If this really was a sixteen-year-old boy, I was in trouble. He had just referenced the lyric in my bio, (from “Understanding In A Car Crash”: “It starts and stops and starts and stops again.”) and made it a joke. I had to one-up him. 
HellsBells: Yes. I am also a pen.
Emo-ward: Where are you from, girl with time in her veins who is somehow also a pen?
I smiled at my screen. I couldn’t help it. He was kind of funny. 
HellsBells: Forgive me, sir, if I’m not very specific. I’m from the Southwest. You?
Emo-ward: Well, miss, I will follow suit. I’m from the Northwest. 
There was something about the way he wrote that made me want to trust him. Maybe it was that we had similar chat styles. Although… My mother had always said I talked like I was sixty. What if he was sixty?! Edward is an old man's name. 
HellsBells: You kind of talk like an old guy, you know that, right?
Emo-ward: That’s because I’m 104. 
HellsBells: Wow. You use the internet pretty well for a senior citizen.
Emo-ward: They had us take a class. So, what’s your favorite album right now?
I smiled. Funny, and hopefully not an old guy. 
HellsBells: Will you stop talking to me if I say Take This to Your Grave?
Emo-ward: Only if you stop talking to me for saying mine is Meteora. 
HellsBells: Only if you tell me your favorite song off the album is Numb. That’s where I draw the line. 
Emo-ward: While that song isn’t my favorite, it’s pretty good. Anyway, the actual favorite is Somewhere I Belong. 
I thought about that for a minute. I liked that song, but I hadn’t listened to it a lot. I’d have to give it another go. I had Meteora around here somewhere. I found the album in my bookshelf, put it in my portable player, and put the headphones on. I skipped to the right track, and let it play while I answered. 
HellsBells: Not that you asked, but mine is Patron Saint of Liars and Fakes.
Emo-ward: Aggressive. I like it. 
I burst out laughing. Out loud. In my house. On a school night. At eleven. 
“Bella?” my mom called from across the hall. “Are you on the computer?” 
Shit. “Uh… no?”
I heard Mom start giggling. “Go to bed, kid!” 
“Okay!” I grimaced at the screen. No way I was ever going to hear from this guy again. But… I had to try, right? He was funny, and he had great taste in music. 
HellsBells: Well, grandpa, if you can get the orderlies at the nursing home to let you use the computer on Friday, I’ll be here. Until then, I’m not an adult and have to deal with things like school nights. 
Emo-ward: I’m sorry about that. I never sleep, so my school nights are exactly like regular nights. I’ll be here. 
I shook my head at that, holding in a giant smile. You know what, fuck it, I let the smile loose. It wasn’t like he could see me. And I let “Somewhere I Belong” play on repeat until I fell asleep.

Pride: Favourite Scar - Andrew ‘Pope’ Cody x Reader (Animal Kingdom)
Okay, as my Virtues/Sin’s are all Mendos. This one is specific to Movie!Andrew.  That doesn’t mean however, that you can’t read it as Show!Andrew. (Just... edit the colour of his eyes and the place as appropriate...)
Tumblr media
Author’s Note: Thank you for your request @mandy23b - This one is all yours 💜
I really like the take on Pride = Proud Actually I kinda mixed together the three premises you send me a little so I hope you enjoy 😘 Disclaimer: Animal Kingdom and all characters/ideas by the wonderful David Michod 💙 / Lyrics not mine Premise As Requested:  I have this idea in my head that Smurf doesn’t like you. It’s clear she has an unhealthy attachment to her children and here you are, turning all of his attention from her to you. And I get the feeling Andrew doesn’t care for her attention, like it annoys him to have her dote on him so he’s happy to give his attention to you. So she’s cruel and mean to you. And maybe you’re not the first she’s done this to but you’re the one who stands her ground and doesn’t let Smurf push you around. And he’s so proud? Proud to call you his and proud to call himself yours? Or just moments of pride like that. Like working a job and you’re not scared to get dirty and take control and boss the other boys around and he doesn’t show it but he adores you? I don’t know… he’s my softie and I just want him and I want him to have someone he can love and trust, even if he’s extremely stoic in his affections Words: 4492 Warnings: Swearing / If you squint there’s Pre-Amble. 
_________
What you wanna talk about? Wanna stay up all night? Wanna scream and shout, sign me up then Ain’t nothing to worry about, I can take it all, that’s right, I’m your number one, don’t forget that. Every word, every scar, Messed up thing that we are, I’ll take it all, boy, better turn up your radio. I never felt like this, you shot me through my heart, Pain never felt so good, boy, you’re my favourite scar I never felt like this, you shot me through my heart, All eyes on me in the middle of the street screaming out your name And it sounds like... you shot me through the heart, You are my favourite scar. What you wanna know about ? Want me to tell you all of my sins, yeah, you first. One shot and you got me and this scar everybody sees on me, Baby, it says that I’m with you.
--- Maybe it's you and your sick need to give love then take it away And you'll add my name to your long list of traitors who don't understand...   You are an expert at sorry, And keeping the lines blurry Never impressed by me acing your tests All the girls that you've run dry Have tired, lifeless eyes 'Cause you burned them out But I took your matches before fire could catch me, So don't look now, I'm shining like fireworks over your sad, empty town --- noun
A feeling or deep pleasure or satisfaction derived from one's own achievements, the achievements of those with whom one is closely associated, or from qualities or possessions that are widely admired.
Driving a jeep up the coastline in the blazing hot summer sunshine, full of girls in sunshades blasting music, attracted about as much attention as you expected it to. Cruising around and looking for all the right trouble in all the wrong places.   At more than one point you had to tell the two in the back to quiet down, as their cat-calling to the array of men strolling down the promenade, minding their own damn business, got a little too raunchy.  You had one arm out of the window, tapping your painted nails against your car’s own paintwork. Sometimes you wondered if they only listened to you because you were the assigned leader of the group – but as long as they were still listening. Eventually they got bored of picking on men and decided you, being in the car, were the easier target. “Hey! Y/N! Aren't you dating a Cody!?” That instantly made you smirk. Here we go! The Cody’s – not necessarily a rival crew, but similar work. None of you were related, but you were all very good friends – the Cody’s on the other hand were family. You’d always thought breaking into that might be hard, but not necessarily. “Why do you spend do much time with their crew now!?” You gave a shrug, taking another turn off to take a costal road out of the city; time for a bit more scenery and peace and quiet, you felt; “Cuz he’s hotter than all of you! And yeah I am!” you laughed “What is it to any of you anyway?!” “Well you know that we’re your crew right-!? Anyway, they already have a female member.” “I’m not necessarily sure Smurf counts as a member… But she does tell ‘em what to do – what’s your point?” There was sudden silence, like you’d dare say it; “Well… We just… we’ve heard things…” You sighed; okay, you had to admit you were happy that they worried about you – but honestly who did they think you were? It wasn’t like you didn’t know the life – you were living it yourself. Still, you humoured their concern; “What things?” “Well. She certainly doesn’t like other woman around them.” You quirked an eyebrow; “And?” but you knew exactly what they were implying. “We just want you to be careful!” You scoffed, pushing your shades further up your nose; “You guys worry too much!” *** You dropped off the girls at each of their respective houses; most of them lived together... For your own reasons you lived in a little flat alone. Because sometimes you just preferred your own company. Caleigh, your right-hand girl, refused to exit your car. "What?" you huffed, clearly impatient "You're going to go see him again, aren't you!?" "Yeah, I am. Get on with it...!" you waved at the door handle “Y/N! I just think-!" "You should let me make a mistake? There's nothing wrong with Andrew, go on!" "For once I'm not worried about the man! I'm worried about his mother-!" "Well, I'm also thinking that might be why he likes me so much." You noticed she hopped down from the car but didn't quite close the door. "Why?" "I'm easy going... I don't smother him... Whatever he wants to do I'm down. And affection is his to give and want, when he's really." "Wait, are you dating the psycho one?" "Cal!!!" Now that was just uncalled for-! "The oldest-! F**K! She'll never let him go, Y/N she won't!" "Well that's her problem, and I'm dealing with it... Can you please let me drive, now?" "I don't understand, girls even do it better - what are you getting out of him!?" You quirked an eyebrow and gave her a smirk; "Hell, I know that... But the point is it’s not easy to tell what I get. And for once, I like that mystery..." She gave you a look that let you know she still thought you were insane. "Caleigh, please, I'll be fine! It'll be worse if I don't get there because he’ll worry, then he’ll get antsy and agitated, then they have to deal with it - which will be my fault. Which certainly will make her hate me!!" Your friend reluctantly slammed the door shut, but thankfully didn't cause you to roll your eyes by telling you to be careful, so you were able to wend your way quickly through the Melbourne streets... **
It was barely 4 seconds between your knock and the door opening. Andrew looked a little less than impressed, but he had a face for it so you weren't sure if that was necessarily a true reflection of his feelings. "Hey..." he took a step back, "I thought you might be late..." "Why? You heard about town shenanigans?" If you could count the sound out of his mouth as a laugh you would, "No. But I can imagine..." he walked you through the house "How you been?" "Good... And you?" "Been better." "Oh?" you frowned; you didn't like hearing things like that from him, "Why’s that?" "How's your electrics?" "... Not bad... Why?" "-Fixing-" he added quickly "Electrics." "Not bad, why?"  you repeated and he stopped his tour in the kitchen, indicating to the kettle. "It's busted." "And you can't fix it." "No." "Buy a new one then!" That sounded like an obvious answer, but he gave you a look that plainly said Smurf wouldn't accept that. You sighed and sat on the counter; "Alright maestro, show me what you're doing wrong." He gave you a look that told you to shut up, and you couldn’t help your teasing grin. "Drink?" "Water will do, thank you Darling." Andrew rolled his eyes at you, with a gentle shove at your sarcastic cute nickname. "Water? Little light for you..." although he obliged, pouring you a glass. "Well it's not like you can make me coffee." "Shut it!" "Make me." "You're gonna wish I did..." To be honest when he was looking at you like that you did wish he would. Those beautifully haunting blue eyes belonged to a man who needed to be kissed. And often. You watched closely as Andrew tried to explain to you what he’d done. And you tried not to start smirking until he’d finished, it didn’t matter much, your amusement was present in your voice; “Good at killing, stealing and all that illegal crime shit, but not much else, huh?” And he looked up at you, clearly not amused. You burst out laughing at the look on his face; “Coulda just told me that when I started.” “Naw, why do that when I can listen to you do everything wrong in detail!” That was the wrong thing to say as Smurf strolled into the kitchen. She fixed you with a look you were getting used to. But you didn’t lie to your friends, you could handle it. “How are you doing sweetie?” You noticed the voice she put on immediately, and that flicker of almost annoyance in his eyes. When you did it to be sarcastic he pushed you with a little smile, and told you to shut up. When she did it, in seriousness, he was much more like to shy away from it. Especially if he was with you. “Eh....” he gave a shrug “It don’t work Ma...” You kicked his thigh, which didn’t help things but you could help but act like this with him; “I told you, you’re doing it wrong!!” “Well, you do it then!!” He dropped everything, fixing you with a look that told you you’d probably get rewarded if you managed it. So you bit your lip through your smirk, and hopped off the counter; “Fine I will...” Smurf huffed from the corner of the kitchen in a way that let you know she wasn’t impressed with you, nor the way you’d just talked to her son. “...Sweetie, would you like me to make you anything.” “No... I’m okay...” his voice was quiet, and he turned back to her. She’s just gonna hover Andrew, you and I both know it... And so she did, for a little. See, Smurf you found more dangerous than any of them. Because Andrew showed his emotions, and his hand, before he snapped. You knew when it was coming and how it was gonna run its course. He wasn’t predicable, you would sooner die than think that - be he had a mind that worked a certain way; so once he started it was pretty easy to tell the direction. You and Baz had become quick experts in this, and both of you had different methods to curb it. Both of you extremely grateful you had each other to do so. Who the hell else would stand up to Andrew?
But Smurf, Smurf was sweet as sugar and controlled everything... if she had a breaking point she never showed it, and didn’t seem any different over that line to normal. Unless she was always snapped. Which, also wouldn’t surprise you as the matriarch to 4 nigh-on-uncontrollable criminals. Oh, and that was before you even mentioned you were from a rival all girl gang. She thought you were gonna put her darling boys out of business. That or run around with all of them, breaking their hearts one by one. Which made you scoff at the notion; if she thought that then she didn’t understand your relationship with Andrew at all. Eventually she left the room, but you knew she’d be listening in as he watched you fix it. He ran his fingers close to yours as his body enveloped you; that was intimate enough. You turned - but he wasn’t looking at you, he was looking in the direction she’d gone. You stood; just shy of your back against his chest but his arm brushed yours and that was once again contact enough; you saw that twice across his face, and you’d damn well count that positively. “You know she hates me right...” He shook his head, maybe in denial. “She’s like that with everyone...” “Yeah, but she hates me.” “Yet you’re still here.” You tapped him with a screwdriver to turn those blue eyes of his back on you, where you wanted them. Where you could watch them grow brighter as some semblance of adoration crossed his face. “I’m here for you. Not her.” His gentle touch to your face was unexpected, and made you flinch. Andrew stilled, and you blinked; “I’m sorry...” “No it’s...” He tucked your hair behind your ear “You’re always holding your own. I’m proud of you. You better be proud of yourself.” “Proud of me? For being someone your mum hates?” “Eh... comes with the territory...” Andrew gave a shrug, his lips brushed the top of your ear gently - whether a kiss on purpose or not it had you smiling. “...Rather that than sit and take it…” “F**k that.” “Thought you might say that.” You nudged him again with your shoulder; “Let me fix your mistake Andrew Cody, before your mum starts trying to fix one she thinks you made.” “She’s afraid of you, you know.” His statement was so matter-of-fact that you weren’t even sure he was hearing himself right. “What?!” He pulled away from you, leaning on the counter the way you had been; “You’re stealing me away.” “Stealing you, huh?” “Oh, I guess not...” Andrew pressed his lips into a thin line “Afterall, you’d think stealing could mean something or someone wouldn’t come willingly...” Your eyebrow raised significantly ,and you knew now was the perfect time to tease him; “This better not be the big elope speech.” He rolled his eyes “F**k off, Y/N, and fix the thing!” You drew yourself to height “Problem there, Mr.Cody...” “Oh yeah?” “Yeah...” You breathed gently, in touching distance of his lips once more “What’s that?” He folded his arms; defiant to give you the kiss you currently craved “I don’t wanna f**k off... but I might wanna f**k you...”
***
"Oh, what the f**k is she doing here." Andrew's eyes narrowed but it was Baz that cracked Craig over the head; "OW!" "Shut the f**k up!!” "No, but seriously...!" Baz placed his hands on his hips, and took a step that made Craig concede one at the thought of being hit again; "She brought us the job you idiot! You didn't complain last time." Craig grumbled a little bit to himself again as you walked up the steps into the little warehouse you'd decided to gather in; "You all ready for this one?" "This better be good!" For some ridiculous reason, as the closest in age to you, Craig had decided you might take his spot in the team. And for some other reason only acted like this on jobs. Otherwise he was pretty nice to you. You'd figure it out, one way or another. “It isn’t bad. I’ll put it that way.” You narrowed your eyes slightly in defiance "What, this job to hard for a bunch of girls?!" He was probably getting this attitude from his mother. You still remembered the way she'd looked you up and down, and told you that you'd be better staying at home and waiting for them to get back from a job. And that jobs were no places for women. You were just as quick to point out that she was often the brains behind what they did and simply made them do the dirty work for her. Leaving the younger two gobsmacked with mouths hanging open, Baz trying desperately hard not to laugh, and Andrew looking at you like all his dreams had just come true. There had been others, you guessed, all of them unable to put up with her... And certainly unable to stand up to her. But he had you now, and you didn't dare back down. Andrew was your boyfriend; she wasn't about to take him away from you and there was no way in hell you were about to let her degrade your work just because it was a “mans” job. "A little. Maybe I just like you guys." "That or you want us to get arrested." Your eyes flicked to Andrew; "And have my life be mundane again, Craig? I don't think so..." Andrew gave you a gentle nod. And you knew at least 3 of them were confident in your abilities to tell them what to do, and handle this. Even if you were happy with the two eldest sweeping in to help control things. And so the job went as well as planned, and maybe a little better than expected. You gave everyone an even split meaning collectively they earned more than your group, but that was the point, they’d done the hard graft. And doing jobs with you meant Smurf wasn’t taking cuts from them – all around you thought this was a win-win. Probably another reason she hates me! As you drove them back to the warehouse to each get in your own cars back home, it was Craig and not Andrew who held back. One fleeting kiss and Andrew was walking back to the car with Baz (didn’t mean he didn’t fix Craig with a threatening look… of course). You folded your arms, staring at him expectedly “…Yes?” He nudged your arm; “Guess that went pretty well.” “Yeah. Thanks for the help.” Then you added sarcastically; “Guess I could never have done that without some big strong men around!” At least his laugh sounded appropriately embarrassed; “You’re… you’re alright, you know that?” You gave a smile, if that was as good as compliments got; “…Thanks Craig! You’re not so bad yourself!” You waved them all off as they called their goodbyes back to you and you couldn’t help laughing. You loved all of them; and whether Smurf wanted you there or not, you were happy to be an extended part of this family. *** Andrew always wanted affection on his terms. You were quite willing to sit in the same room as him for nearly 24 straight hours in silence, just for those glorious 10 seconds he would cross the room and sit close enough to touch you. That’s how he asked, he never said it. He never just took you in his arms. And you were pretty sure he’d never ever heard the term public display of affection... but you knew when he sat like that, with that look on his face and in his eyes, he was begging for something from you. And Smurf could never fulfil that even when she thought she could. What’s worse, is you’d seen her give love to Andrew in a way that stifled him, that made him push back - that near enough made him angry.  But she took it away too. Because sometimes, Andrew needed her to be his mother. Not his keeper. And that’s when she was at her cruellest. Andrew was a lost cause. Andrew wasn’t someone she could control. He’d been in prison, he’d done drugs, armed robbery, D&Ds and DUIs... theft, murder... you name it. Deran was the baby and a sweetheart and you liked him a lot, but he was securely under her thumb and hardly in trouble. And too timid to stand up to her or his siblings. Born into the wrong family, in your opinion. He didn’t have the nature for this... Craig, in the middle, wasn’t stable enough to break free. And as far as you could tell didn’t want to. You’d always thought his relationship with Smurf to be a little twisted and tried not to uncomfortably stare when kisses seemed to be more than just familial... When Baz would kick you under the table and give you a look. Baz was Andrew’s best friend, and his stability. And you’d often breathe and tell him you thought he was the only sane one. And he would laugh gently, and give you his best smile ‘Aw, Andrew doesn’t do too bad now he has you...’
But Andrew... On his medication was a mess you didn’t like to deal with. They dulled his personality. If you thought he didn’t feel normally, then this was worse. And you knew what they were for. But you didn’t think they were any good for him. But what could he do? Sometimes he would give you the bottle and ask you to hide them, and that scared you. But you supposed that wouldn’t have Smurf forcing him to take them. But off his medication.... oh, he was anxious, and paranoid, and angry, and reckless... any idea was a good idea and he’d damn well do anything he wanted. But in the aftermath of that... when Andrew calmed down. That was when he needed someone. And he didn’t have to look for any real affection, just to know someone was there.
And you’d seen him at that point. At the point Smurf should love him the most; regardless of whether he deserved it or not. Because she was his MOTHER.
Andrew Cody should never have to beg to be loved…
But that’s what she made him do. And you’d had enough of that. So that led to you slamming your hands on the table, and standing so fast the chair hit the floor, as you fixed her with a stare so hard it was beyond if looks could kill. “Stop it.” She tried that sweet act, but you could see her face fall already “Stop what, sweetie?” “Stop f**king what?! Stop Making him BEG for this!” Your hands hit the table again “Andrew deserves better than this family - and he deserves a better f**king mother than you!” You weren’t sure you meant that about his brothers – but hell, at that moment you didn’t really care anymore. Suddenly Andrew was no longer looking at her for anything, and was trying to manoeuvre you from the kitchen. To very little avail, other than you weren’t sure what would happen if you stayed and had a full-on screaming match with her. “You don’t deserve him!” Was as good a spit as she got at you, that had you turning in his arms as he tried to drag you out the door. And by God did he have to keep a strong grip; “No! You don’t f**king deserve him!!! You don’t F**KING DESERVE any of them!!!” There was a silence. And you knew you’d full on blown it now.
Andrew froze, because whatever either of you said next, one of you had to be the bigger woman and walk away. You took a deep breath and your voice was shaking, with anger you were desperately trying to control again. “...They are your children... they are grown men... and you should love all of them unconditionally... You shouldn’t get to choose when you give them love! And they shouldn’t have to prove they are worth it...” you stepped out of Andrew’s arms “... what you do to him... is possibly one of the cruellest things I’ve ever seen.” And hell, in your line of work, by now you’d probably seen nearly all of it. “And if that’s why he needs me... then I will fight for that. And I will give him what he needs. And maybe I’m not good enough for him. Hell, maybe I never will be... but I am what he needs, right now… and I’m gonna damn well make sure he knows he deserves to be loved like anyone else does.” You walked, because you were in tears. And they were hot, angry, bitter tears that she had pushed you to. And you almost hated yourself that you’d fallen for that push. “ANDREW DONT YOU DARE WALK AWAY FROM ME-!!” Was about the last thing you heard before you whipped around and were swept from the floor. “What the f**k are you-!?” You just about managed as you were carried, shocked, to his car. “Don’t speak. Just listen.” To what? He dumped you in the passenger seat and the next thing you knew you were driving to the middle of nowhere.  And you realised that was the point. To nothing. To his actions. Hell, you should know yourself by now, they were always louder than his words. There was a smile on his face. Something you weren’t even sure he was aware he was doing. You’re doing it again Andrew... You wondered again what it was; but you thought you already knew... *** It had been a few months since that argument, and as far as you were aware the cat fight was still on. And now you only stuck around the house if she wasn’t there. Sometimes she’d come back before you left, and there would be a five second stand-off where the boys sat in silence and the tension could be cut with a knife. Luckily, none of them were taking sides… But there was a new kind of amity between the group of you. You guessed it might have been a certain kind of respect… Which let you to doing a bunch more jobs with them – and more than enough times your gang of girls got in on this too. What was more, you got to watch from afar with Andrew as they all started warming to each other. And you got to give each other that same look; try to see Smurf break this up. But, then and there, jobs didn’t always go perfectly…! Even when Andrew had your back.
"Could have gone a little better for you, huh?" "Any time you can get me back, you will..." You winced, looking at the state of your arm. Arguably not your best idea ever, even if necessary. Andrew chided you for it again. Now in your apartment, you knew that Smurf would go ballistic at him for not returning home with the rest. "Yeah. Because I care about ya." "Come off the noble act, Andrew, you just wanna tell me I told you so." "I do..." He admitted with a smile "but I want to fix up this arm first..." He pulled you to him gently, arm straight across both your leg and his. “…You really shouldn’t be so stupid sometimes.” He knew that would raise a laugh; “It’s not stupid if it works…!” “Works?” You caught that smirk and raised eyebrow as he gathered the medical equipment closer to him; “If that’s what you call it…” You raised an eyebrow and couldn’t help that tease; "What’s mummy dearest gonna say? Shouldn’t you be running back home?" He shook his head "F**k her." Your eyes widened: "Wh- OWWWW---!" you cried out as he poured saline over the gash. You were 99% sure he also wasn’t supposed to be that liberal... His eyes met yours; see. "What did you just---!! If she heard you-" Those blue hardened significantly; "I said f**k her." Andrew breathed, "I have you now... You've seen what she does... You can't possibly imagine.... How much freedom having you in my life gives me... You stand up for me, you stand up for the boys, you stand up for yourself. I've never seen that." He looked back to your arm, drying and cleaning it, he bandaged you up; " You don't realise how proud I am of ya... And I’m aware I don't really say it, but I feel it." He sat up taking your free hand in his; "Y/N you are one hell of a f**king woman."
You gave a gentle smile; "I'm proud of you for admitting that." "Oh, really?" "Mmm..." You closed that gap with a delicate thank you kiss. It was a first step. Andrew’s affection was stoic but he was learning, he would figure it out. He'd tell you, in his own way, exactly how much he loved you. And you knew discovering the how was the best part of this relationship. He pulled you to him, it was a subtle, sensitive ask. If you want, I want. And you slid forward and across onto his lap, running your hands through his hair.  "Injured?" you asked with a cheeky wink. "Oh, well, I bandaged you, you’ll be fine." "Magic, huh?" "Not quite..." he tipped his head "But you know what they say..." "And what do they say..." He gave a shrug, voice soft, pulling you to him again; "I haven't quite figured it out yet..."
Andrew ran his arms under your legs and hoisted you from the couch. He stood still for a minute to make sure that he had you supported correctly, but you were quick to move on your decision. Your fingers were already at the buttons of his blue shirt as you kissed him. He placed his forehead gently to yours as he carried you to your room, his lips grazing yours. You knew even when it was silent, when Andrew Cody looked at you like that it was the closest he would get to saying 'I love you'.

First of all: yes, it abso-fucking-lutely does. Eddie keeps making fun of Steve for being a jock but not being able to keep up when literal superhuman beings are playing bc he is a little shit.
The first time Steve was invited to a match he somehow managed to convince everyone that he is totally able to play with them. Until a thankfully relatively weak ball flew right against his temple. Now he sits in the sidelines and keeps vibrating like a Chihuahua
Second of all:
Tumblr media
Okay, so you'll have to trust me on that one, okay? Put all the pre-established twilight character dynamics on the back burner for a sec because I promise that I have a vision
(rest under the cut bc it became longer than expected 😅)
a) The Cullens in this Universe are actually the Wheelers. Why, you may ask? Because I find the thought of the most normalest family actually being just vampires who are extremely good at being undercover kind of funny. Like in twilight, the Wheelers are all very old. Unlike twilight, they do not have romantic relationships with their kinda pseudo adopted siblings:
-> Ted Wheeler is Esme Cullen, because both are equally unimportant and I would also be uncooperative and bitter if my only superpower was "having self-control". Except that Ted was also the one who turned basically everyone else, which is why in his mind he already did his part and can just leave everything to Karen. It is also why Karen feels kinda indebted towards him and never leaves him even if she really wants to.
-> Karen Wheeler is Carlisle Cullen. She has basically the same powers as her husband except an even better version, which is another reason why Ted is low-key bitter
-> Holly Wheeler is Jasper Hale. She was obviously not a soldier herself since she was so young when she got turned. Maria chose to turn her because of her age: nobody would suspect an innocent little kid to brutally murder you and turn you into an undead being to join a murderous army of newborn Vampires. Like Jasper she can feel and manipulate other's emotions, which considering how her brain is far from being fully developed is hell for everyone involved. After a while she managed to escape and got adopted by Karen and Ted
-> Mike Wheeler is Emmett Cullen, except that he got mauled by a Demogorgon instead of a bear. This is also a huge part of the reason why he is so insistent on finding Will and protecting El (both also having had bad experiences with the upside down in a forest just like him)
- Will actually dies in the S2 finale and Mike turns him into a vampire to save him. Gay panic ensues, which also explains his s3 behavior
- also Will and El grow much closer as a consequence bc their sibling dynamic is everything. El shows Will how to control his vampire side, and Will shows El how to behave like a human
-> Nancy Wheeler is Edward Cullen. And yes, Steve is still Bella. Remember how I said to trust me? Here we go:
- Nancy barely has any friends bc others find her superhuman beauty intimidating, which is also why she isn't bullied even though she would technically make a great target
- Nancy willingly keeps going to high school because she finds it fascinating to see how the curriculum and the culture among the youngsters keeps shifting (+ she loves learning)
- Like Edward her power is to read minds, and like in twilight she is intrigued with Steve bc he is the only one whose mind she can't read (though he is still the one who first approached her)
- Also like Edward she is a bit more old-fashioned, and the only reason why she sleeps with Steve before marriage is because she is a true romantic and thinks that the fact that she can't read his mind means they are soulmates. (dw, no weird renesmee stuff)
- yes, the van scene still happens. Steve's type will always be ppl who can absolutely kick his ass
- another huge factor on why their relationship doesn't work out in the end is because she is unused to not being able to read his mind. Plus she still kind of believes that they are soulmates for a while, and thus thought that everything would work itself out on its own sooner or later
b) Robin Buckley is Jacob Black. Except she isn't a nice guy who keeps being an asshole when Bella doesn't choose him. In fact, she isn't into Steve at all (for obvious reasons). The Edward vs Jacob triangle is entirely in Steve's mind bc he is also a romantic AND a dramatic lil bitch
-> all werewolves are in band for some reason. There are only like two band members who are entirely human and completely unaware of the supernatural
-> Robin still meets Steve in Scoops Ahoy and helps him get over Nancy
-> They still are platonic soulmates which means that Robin basically adopts him into the pack
c) The moment we have all been waiting for. Steddie. They don't really have twilight counterparts I think but I've got an entire fucking backstory for Eddie and Wayne so buckle up:
-> Eddie's Father and Wayne were created by Vecna (kinda Victoria?)
- shortly before he was turned Eddie's dad had Eddie and then disappeared with Vecna
- Wayne stayed behind to take care of Eddie because his nephew is his only family (besides his brother) and Eddie's mom isn't in a stable enough place to properly take care of a child
- Wayne never wanted to turn Eddie into a vampire since like Edward he believes that vampires have no soul and belong in hell (he was raised in a pretty Catholic environment in the south, which explains his accent)
- One day Vecna and Eddie's dad return and hunt Eddie and his mom. It is too late for the mother, but Wayne manages to save Eddie by turning him into a vampire
- Eddie is actually not very old bc that one post about Eddie being a young vamp is hilarious (I'll link it if I can find it)
- Wayne and Eddie live in a trailer so they never stay in one place for too long because Wayne is paranoid that his brother will return and finish the job
- Wayne always does more physical labour like working in a construction site or a factory because:
-he never finished highschool
-his power is superstrength
-they never look too closely at his VC
-its easier to stay anonymous
- Eddie's power is to manipulate sound waves (so he can make something appear louder or quieter than it actually is or do that thing where you only can hear the sound through one ear except irl), which is part of the reason why he is so obsessed with music and such a good storyteller
- Eddie thinks that Steve is a werewolf (see point b) and has a huge character arc where he realizes that he is wrongly prejudiced against them, only to finally ask Steve out and discover that he was human all along actually
- Eddie does have genuine difficulties in school, but he also sometimes bombs tests on purpose so that they can stay in Hawkins for a bit longer (the deal is that the Munsons will move again as soon as he graduates)
- Eddie's dream has always been to become a famous rockstar, but he knows that he can never allow that to become reality because of his status as undead non-human immortal being. (Tho if the crowd is very good and he is really in the zone he will sometimes use a bit of his powers on accident. Or on purpose. But he's always subtle so it's fine)
- The Munsons and the Wheelers play vamp baseball together :) stobin keeps judging them in the sidelines (half of Robin's job is to stop Steve from running in and joining the game)
ik that like half the st cast is missing so feel free to add on more (or maybe I'll do a part 2 if I get any ideas)
I'm probably not going to write anything in this au tbh so if anyone wants to take this idea and do sth out of it I only ask of you to tag me so I can see it ^^
wait wait wait steddie twilight au with Steve as Bella (except with flavor) and Eddie as the vamp (except less conveniently attractive and more pathetic) who keeps repeating his senior year because he's just vibing with corroded coffin and hellfire club so why tf not

Commission Info For Love Letters Here!
A/N: This has some NSFW themes, so if you’re under 18 don’t interact. 
Also the Tag list is closed, I think this is about how many people can add for this. An alternative is to follow and turn on post notifications. 
Um.. I guess this will be going on hiatus for a few weeks. I’m just busy at work, and I’m kind of out of ideas, also low engagement in the last few parts has made me feel a little discouraged.
That being said- if you order a letter with a twilight character, I’ll probably end up giving a hint for some things that will happen in the series. So if you are on the fence about getting a letter- or you just really can’t stand to wait, there’s always that option haha. 
 Anyway hope you like it ~
* “(Y/N).... what are you doing?”
* Muffled noise escapes you as you dig yourself deeper , drowning in his scent
* “(Y/N)”
* Your name leaves in a whisper and a smile curls onto his mouth
* “I mean how can you even see the television from that angle” he mumbles
* You sigh, your breath fanning across the lilac shirt he wore, you’re head firmly nestled in his back
* You’re in his room, lying beside him on his bed, essentially spooning him. The movie flickers on in front of you, you’re only half way through the first Harry Potter movie right now
* Honestly you’ve wanted to snuggle into Edward’s back for a while now, ever since you did it right before you both kissed for the first time
* It just feels so warm and safe here
* “I can hear it just fine” you mumble back. You feel the muscles in his back ripple as he shifts, your arm slinging over his chest.
* His hand covers your own. His hands so big it almost entirely envelops your own. And you can’t help but imagine what that hand would feel like in other places
* Tangled in your hair, trailing up and down your sides, under your shirt, dipping beneath the waist band of your shorts-
* Nope nope nope
* Gotta keep it PG 13
* He wants to go slow after all. Or at least you think he does. But well, you thought he might want to be with Bella
* And that was wrong
* Ugh, you want to pull out your own hair. how easy would it be if he could just read your mind and let you know-
* No it doesn’t work like that
* You sigh
* You have to put the work in if you want to make this work
* You have to communicate
* You stir besides him, wiggling you hand out of his and tapping the hard muscle of his abs
* Ugh, of course he’s chiseled like a statue
* Wait you’re a vampire, you tap your own stomach. It feels like a hard slab
* Well damn
* “Hm?”
* “We need to talk”
* “About what?” He asks absentmindedly, eyes never straying from the television.
* He must really like Harry Potter.
* “About sex.”
* He shoots right up. The remote falling to the ground with a clatter
* “Ah sorry, let me get that” he mumbles, climbing out of the bed to pick up the remote and put the movie on pause
* He clears his throat, sitting on the edge of the bed, a whole 5 feet away from you
* “So what did you want to talk about, again?”
* He seems so awkward, maybe you were right, maybe he does want to go slow
* But then what was with that “I’m not waiting for marriage” crap?”
* “I want to be physically intimate with you” you say bluntly
* Why did you say it like that? Like you’re some kind of scientist or something?
* *internal cringe*
* Not that he seems to care
* Edward’s grinning
* “Are you seducing me right now?”
* You’re not sure why but that smile annoys you
* You scoff
* “I’m trying to find out where you’re at, sexually speaking”
* He looks at the ground for several long seconds before finally meeting your eyes
* “So I um-“
* Okay you’re finally getting somewhere
* “I guess I have this kink where I like being called-“
* “No Edward not that!”
* You’re a little annoyed,
* But also a little turned on
* You’ll have to put a pin in that,
* oh boy, Edward with a kink.
* It’s probably something super vanilla like a praise kink
* or something cheesy like a daddy kink
* Like what are you, sixteen-
* Well, he technically is but-
* You’re getting off track
* “Do you-“
* how do you say this?
* “Do you want to have sex with me?”
* And it would sound like your propositioning him if you hadn’t emphasized the ‘want’
* You know he’s on the asexuality spectrum, maybe he just doesn’t feel like that for you
* You know he loves you a lot
* And wether or not he wants to have sex won’t change the way you feel about him,
* But knowing will help you manage your expectations
* “Why...why would you think that I don’t?”
* He looks almost hurt as he says it
* “We’ve been dating for two months and you haven’t made a move”
* Not after he said that thing about ‘Not waiting for Marriage’™
* You feel his hand cover your own, he’s still a heathy distance away from you
* But even just the touch of his hand on yours sends a shiver down your spine
* “How could you ever think I don’t-“ he cuts himself off
* His free hand moves to cradle your face, brushing hair away in that way he’s always done
* You sigh leaning into his touch
* “You’re so beautiful...so lovely.. of course I want to be closer to you in whatever way I can” his words leave breathlessly, and you can see he wants you just as bad as you want him
* “Then why-“
* “You live in my house,” he stresses. “You’re surrounded by my family, who haven’t been very subtle with how pleased they would be for you to join the family. We are literally never away from each other”
* “Do you want me to move back to Denali?” You joke and he laughs, amber eyes warm as he looks into yours.
* “I just don’t want to make you feel uncomfortable... or suffocated.” He squeezes your hand
* “I don’t want to make you feel like you have to do anything you don’t want to, for me.. or anyone else.”
* So he’s been trying to be considerate of you
* And of the living situation
* Isn’t that just so like him?
* You feel a small smile stretch across your lips, your hand threading into his hair
* “I don’t ever feel uncomfortable, not around you.”
* And it’s true, you trust him completely.
* You know he’ll never hurt you, never
* You foreheads are pressed together, and it’s only a small shift to catch his lips in your own
* Your hand escapes from his and trails to his face, your hands tipping his head back to get a better angle
* He feels so good like this
* He would feel so good underneath you, begging you to go just a little further
* “Now I’m propositioning you” you feel a small breathless chuckle escape him
* “There’s ... another reason I haven’t brought it up” he mumbles
* You hold your breath- he doesn’t have that bubbling desire does he?
* You were right, he-
* “If we did it in the house everyone would know”
* Huh?
* Noticing your confused expression he clarifies
* “Everyone would hear it happen, and everyone would know”
* Oh
* So all this times you’ve kissed-
* And that time in the car -
* Everyone knew?
* You groan covering your face in your hands, how will you ever be able to face Carlisle again?
* “Emmett would have bought us a cookie cake-“
* You raise an eyebrow and he falters
* “He would have bought me a cookie cake...it would say ‘bye bye virginity’ in pink icing” he whispers
* And you laugh
* “That’s so wasteful”
* No doubt Edward would be too embarrassed to let their humans friends eat it - which you don’t blame him for
* “Alright I’ll try to keep my dirty fantasies to a minimum” you laugh when he tugs you into his lap
* “Oh what kind of fantasies?” There’s that teasing boyish grin again
* “Please enlighten me”
* Well, it’s only right to tease him a little after all those hours you’ve spent mulling over what ‘I’m not waiting for marriage’ could mean
* “Well they all start off with a kiss, a good kiss, the kind that makes you feel like you’re just going to melt-“
* You rest your head against his shoulder, whispering into his ear
* “And then when it’s over, one of your hands is under my shirt,”
* you gently trace up his back and he shivers
* “and both of mine are under yours”
* “And then?” His voice is low, but he doesn’t dare to look at you
* You really shouldn’t tease him this much...
* but it’s so fun
* “We kiss again, my hands tracing over every inch of you, and when we stop I unbutton your shirt, trailing kisses down your neck”
* You trail a cold finger down the side of his neck
* He lets out a low sound, akin to a whine
* “And then I’ll suck here” your finger presses lightly into the hollow of his neck before repeating the process on his collarbone “and here”
* “You look so pretty with your neck marked up with hickeys, like poppy’s blooming in snow”
* You can tell he likes it by the shiver and whine
* So he likes that sensual shit huh
* You wonder what else he likes
* “And you look so pretty Edward, breathless, with that hungry needy look in your eyes just for me”
* Your hand trails down to his chest, and he trembles as your hand moves across his stomach. Resting on his lower abdomen
* His breath hitches, teeth digging into hi plush pink lip. He’s so needy, your finger trails in absentminded circles, and you swear he whimpers
* Aw so cute
* “And that’s about it” you say bluntly patting his stomach twice before moving to get off of him
* His eyes shoot open, a frown arching onto his mouth
* You hold back a laugh
* before you can fully get off of his lap he tugs you back to him
* “I see what you’re doing” he tried to pretend to be stern but you a smile twitching at the end of his lips
* “I don’t know what you mean. That’s just where the fantasy ends” you say as innocently as possible which only makes him grin
* “I’m sorry, I know I’ve been teasing you too much”
* “Hmm have you been?” You mock confusion and he laughs again, kissing the spot where your neck and shoulder meet
* “I’m sorry I got your hopes up”
* You scoff
* “My hopes weren’t up-“ Edward tilts your head towards him and you avert your eyes
* Okay they were a little high
* He pulls you into another kiss, soft and gentle
* “I promise I’ll make all your fantasies come true soon.”
* He already has, how many dreams that you never thought you would be able to have has he made come true?
* God, you adore this boy
* “But until then you’re going to have to leave”
* Scratch that
* “W-what?!”
* What did you do something to turn him off in the last .05 seconds?
* “It’s nothing personal-“
* You’re taking this very personally
* “I just need some time alone, and maybe a cold shower”
* Oh
* O H
* “R-right, well I’ll leave you to that” you mumble, clearing your throat as you move away from him, only briefly stopping on your way out
* “I’m going to take a few of these okay?” You say grabbing the other two Harry Potter movies
* You don’t wait for him to respond, leaving the room and heading to your own
* You run into Emmett who sends you a mischievous grin
* “Hey (Y/N), what were you-“
* “Nothing you would need to a buy a cookie cake for” you say, sliding into your room
* You look down at the DVD’s
* Why did you take these? You don’t even have a TV in your room
* Meanwhile Emmett’s still in the hallway
* “How did they know I was going to get him a cookie cake?”
* .
* ..
* ...
* You’re not sure where you are at first
* It’s foggy burst of green and brown
* And then you see him
* It’s Edward
* You breathe a sigh of relief moving towards him, as long as he’s here you’re okay
* “I’m sorry-“ you stop in your tracks
* there’s someone else there, clinging to his side
* “You were right- I do love her” He says and you’re confused
* The most faded and its Bella her wide brown eyes narrowed into a glare
* “Did you think you could just steal my future away from me?” She spats at you like her words are venom
* No- of course you never meant to take her place
* But you always hoped to- didn’t you?
* The intrusive voice causes a shiver to erupt down your spine
* You walk back, feet tangling into one another
* No that’s not right, Edward loves you- this isn’t right
* That’s when you bump into something hard- immovable
* You turn to see someone else entirely
* They’re wearing a black and red cloak
* Someone from the Volturi
* You gulp hard.
* So they’ve come for you have they
* The figure moves to remove the hood of their cloak, and you feel a gasp escape you.
* It’s you
* Only your face seems...sharper somehow, even more beautiful. But in an unnatural way, devoid of humanity
* Your eyes are as red as rubies
* You fall back, your foot getting caught in a tree root
* The Volturi-you sighs, crouching down so their impassive eyes can meet yours
* “You’ve really got to get over that whole timeline” their voice is different too, an air of disappointment ringing in every word. They sound bored
* You can’t manage to string together a single thought, let alone any words
* “Well don’t look so scared. I’m here to help you know” but their smile is cruel
* “Unless you can snap out of that lovesick dream of yours and finish what you started, this is the future that’s waiting for you”
* “That’s not true”
* Carlisle saved you, Eleazer took you in, Edward gave you a new future.
* You’re never going back to the Volturi
* But the you clad in the black and red robe’s smile only grows wider
* “It’s not true for now, but how many more years do you think you can handle until you get bored?”
* “Another 20? Let’s say 50 for good measure- then what?”
* You feel like a cold finger runs down your spine, your hair standing on end
* “I think you know exactly what” the cloaked you says, their eyes are serious now as they look at you
* “You need to finish what you started-“
* Finish what? What are they talking about? What did you start?
* Noticing your confusion they sigh
* “You need to stop focusing so much on what happened in the story, and start thinking about what happened after the story”
* After the story?
* Like after Edward and Bella had Their baby?
* “Now wake up”
* The words echo in your head until you fly upright, breathing hard as you take in the space around you
* For a second you’re not sure where you are
* This is your room, at the Cullen’s house in Forks
* You’re fine
* You’re safe
* You try to regulate your breathing, attempting to calm your mind with it
* It was just a nightmare. Not that you ever remember falling asleep to begin with
* “I didn’t think I could fall asleep anymore” you whisper
* You pretend to sleep, because it feels good. But you’ve never lost yourself like that before
* It felt so real
* “Finish what I started? And then after the story-“ You feel the hair on the back of your neck stand on end
* There was something- something you had tried a long, long time ago-
* Back when you still lived in Denali
* An idea you had come across once- after Edward told you how painful it was for him to turn
* But how would you even go about proving something like that?
* And what’s what might have happened after the book series got to do with any of this?
* You sigh, your head in your arms. It was just a dream wasn’t it? A nightmare from your insecurities?
* If you just whispered his name, Edward would be beside you, whispering sweet nothings into your ear, erasing all your worries
* “ Unless you can snap out of that lovesick dream of yours and finish what you started, this is the future that’s waiting for you”
* You gulp
* You don’t need Edward to coddle you through every little nightmare, you decide
* Turning in your bed, closing you eyes and hoping to dream a more pleasant dream this time But you don’t dream at all, tossing and turning until light filters in through the blinds
