Jacob: I love to dismiss my horrible decisions by saying "yeah that was a weird time in my life" as if the rest of my existence hasn't been absolute clown shoes.

at a tribal finance conference listening to a quileute tribal council member talk about how companies have bought every house in forks, wa because it’s a tourist destination so they can’t hire people to work for the tribe

anyway fuck stephenie meyer for profiting so intensely off of racist stereotypes of quilteutes and all native people while never contributing a dime to help them solve the problems she caused!

the volturi in new moon: how DARE you, a VAMPYR, show yourself to the HUMANS!? we must keep our kind SECRET!

also the volturi: *eats an entire group of tourists in one day, thus murdering like 20 people and likely causing a huge spike in missing persons cases*

So I get the feeling that a lot of fandom agrees that Bella immediately being the most perfect vampire is just… not very compelling writing, yeah?

Smeyer tried to ramp up conflict with external factors (Bella worrying she’ll want to mail her own daughter, Charlie visiting right away, coming across the hiker’s scent) but they all dissolve into non-issues so quickly that it turns into more fawning over how exceptional she is. Good for her, boring for readers

I don’t actually hate the “I was born to be a vampire” sentiment, I think it had potential, but having it manifest as “I was born to be an extremely human-friendly vampire” is a little odd. I feel like it would be just as rewarding to have her be an excellent vampire— powerful gift, strong and fast even for a newborn, even great control over the bloodlust, ymmv— but provide also a little narrative balance by having too much of a good thing.

This could mean she has a new, equal-but-opposite “clumsiness”: Clumsiness comes from a lack of control/awareness/stability in the limbs, right? Her proprioception and reflexes were off as a human. So as a vampire, why not have the pendulum swing in the other direction? Make her have a hard time dialing down the uncanny inhuman demeanor. She has a harder time at playing human than most vampires. She’s always forgetting to visibly breathe, sigh, fidget, etc. Her movements are a little too fast, a little too lithe. She’s always crushing stuff in her hands.

Idk. Just. Something to make her a little monstrous, even if it’s not the typical struggle of the bloodlust (though that’s not a bad option!). “She got everything she ever wanted with no repercussions or drawbacks” wasn’t remotely satisfying or interesting

I feel like it’d be perfectly in-character for Angela Weber to have noticed a lot of the same things about the Cullens that Bella has— the eye colors changing, not eating, etc.— but unlike Bella she is perfectly capable of thinking “that’s not of my business” and just leaving it alone

fanfic writers are so fucking awesome man. they write novel length fics that are sometimes even better than some published bestselling books written by professional writers. like fanfic writers are professional writers to me and they gift us their masterpieces for free. they give us something we can look forward to after a long day. something from which we can seek comfort when life is hard. something that can be our own little getaway. in a world of capitalism, despite everything, they give us all of these for free. like holy fuck. shout out to every fanfic writer. I wish all fanfic writers a very ‘I love you with all my heart and soul. I thank you from the bottom of my heart’

anyone else think it’s weird how edward is constantly referring to jacob and even bella’s classmates/friends as “child” or calling them immature……… sir how old do you think bella is
