Rostisserie

considering the fact that if edward had jerked off even once in his hundred years as a vamp we wouldn't have to deal with demon baby (bc apparently he still had the human semen he had at the time of his death and that's why he could get bella pregnant) i think we can make fun of his virginity all we want

the fact that this is the canon explanation really does explain so much about Edward as a person because it's one thing to be a 100 year old virgin it's another thing to be so repressed you go 100 years without yanking your own chain despite being a, reportedly, a regular old straight.

He's like if Kellogg's cereal was a vampire.

That 100 year old baby batter must have been absolutely rancid which in turn explains so much about why Rotisserie turned out as she did.

I shall pass through this world but once, any good thing therefore I can do, or any kindness I can show to any human being, let me do it now, let me not defer it or neglect it for I shall not pass this way again.
