You did Jasper and Alice swap bodies

What if they swapped gift?

Anon's referring to this post.

Now we're talking.

Oh man, are we talking.

Alice, Jasper, and Their Gifts

The thing about Alice and Jasper is that who they are is highly dependent on their gifts, especially Alice.

Alice has no memories of being human, she woke up one day as a vampire, and it was her visions and the hope that she would one day join the Cullens, have a mate, and a wonderful family that kept her going.

Not only that, but she cannot remember a time without them. Alice's every decision, every thought, every action she takes is informed by the visions she sees. We see her in canon (both in Twilight and Midnight Sun) move about her life in an oddly impersonal manner as her every action is reactionary to what others will do in response. As a result, this dehumanizes those around her, even her beloved family, as she starts interacting with them in ways to get her what she wants rather than seeing them as sentient beings in charge of their own choices.

Alice relies on her gift for big things, such as the Eclipse debacle, to little things such as planning Jasper's birthday gifts or seeing what he'll get her. When she can't use her gift, around the wolves and Renesmee, she's actively distressed (granted for good reason as those were high stakes times) but shows how much she relies on it.

Jasper isn't quite as dependent on his but it is a fundamental reason of why he at least initially pursued the diet (Edward argues Jasper does the diet primarily for Alice but we see it as him having had initially no choice). Jasper's gift effectively dog collared him and forced him onto this path that, per his history, he otherwise never would have taken. We also do see him make occasional, casual, use of it to defuse arguments, strip Carlisle of his morals apparently to make the man steal a car and knock out a woman, and knock Bella out. It's nothing close to Alice, though, the gift doesn't define him and for a while he didn't even realize he had it, not until he left Maria.

All this to say, their gifts are important.

They Swap

Alice is now blind all the time. This is much worse than the shifters and Renesmee, where she knows its temporary. Her gift is actively gone. I imagine Alice panics and suspects foul play, the Volturi must have somehow stripped her of her gift. When it becomes clear Jasper now has it, she assumes they guinea pigged on the Cullens and... uh... messed up and gave her very useful gift to Jasper who is also a Cullen instead of to Caius or something.

So, Alice is panicking, Edward's also sounding the alarm, and the Cullen houeshold is a hive of anxiety. However, you also have Alice trying to get by in her daily life and getting increasingly frustrated and terrified that she can't see anything.

She no longer knows who might slip, when strangers will pop in, or even small things like if someone will really like the gift she bought them. Alice will be shocked to discover that she doesn't actually know these people that well, without being able to sift through their future decisions, she has to guess what they'll do and I imagine her guesses are often wrong for the same reason that Edward seems to be terrible at reading people: she's too reliant on her gift.

Alice feels like a stranger to her own family as a result and Jasper's gift making her feel everyone's emotions is not helping her stress levels. Alice ends up unintentionally making everyone angry and terrified as her emotions leak to them.

Jasper, on the other hand, is now witness to all the horrible things the Cullens (looking at you, Edward) think of doing but don't actually do. Jasper is now playing the role of the voyeur he never wanted to in a way he may have suspected at times but never suspected the full brunt of. Jasper has to try to navigate who everyone around him really is, are they only the choices they actually end up making, or also these other futures of choices they consider but don't take.

Add onto this Edward loathing being spied on by Jasper and you've got a hot, hot, awful mess that makes everybody miserable.

I imagine Jasper, feeling like the root of most of the drama, ends up taking a vacation and promising to call if he sees them being confronted by the Volturi. Alice is torn between going with him and staying and terrified something might happen to the family without her knowing if she leaves (and same to Jasper if he leaves and she doesn't follow).

it’s so interesting that Twilight as a narrative is so intent on making Bella insistently desire sex, and then also so intent on coralling (they have to be married first), limiting (they only have sex a few times?, rather than the years Bella wanted to spend in college having fun recreational non-procreative sex), and punishing (demon baby that causes her great physical harm) that same desire. Buffy-ass plotline

it's time.

"Bella not understanding adulthood" is very funny to me. Cause she's literally been dealing with the stressful and mundane parts of adulthood since she was six. From paying the bills to doing the grocery shopping. Is there a lack of reading comprehension or are we just ignoring the parentification and trauma of Bella's childhood?

[mariokart8enjoyer]

it’s raining outside so I have to watch all twilights back to back I do NOT make the rules guys I just follow em

[mariokart8enjoyer]

wtf 😭😭

[mariokart8enjoyer]

Do you think Bella plays baseball as a vampire?

Oh but of course.

The Cullens play baseball, and Bella is now a Cullen. Of course she must play baseball.

Whether she actually enjoys it is another matter, but I think she would convince herself she loves sports now that she's not a hazard to her surroundings anymore.

I was Bella from Twilight and they were making another movie so I had to work with Robert Pattinson and I fell in love with him but he got really upset with me about it because secretly he was a he/him lesbian.
