I know that Edward is the golden boy, the favorite, yada yada yada.... whatever BUT I firmly believe - with every fiber of my being- that Esme and Carlisle were heartbroken to leave Bella. ESPECIALLY Esme. I think she would understand what Bella would go through???
Esme first met Carlisle when she was 16 and fell in love with him. Ten years later, she'd never forgotten him and she'd never stopped loving him. She must have felt his absence every day. A phantom feeling of a hole in her heart. Now imagine Esme putting herself in Bella's situation. Not only had Bella been in love with Edward, she'd loved the other Cullens too. She formed bonds and attachments to them (not all obviously). Bella had meaningful (to her) relationships with like 4 vampires. (Edward, Alice, Esme, and Carlisle). Esme must have understood the emptiness and gasping pain that comes with loving a vampire then being left behind.
I have to know…. I can’t be the only one who pretends that eclipse and breaking dawn never happened and just embraces absolute sweetheart new moon jacob, right?
"I look at my . . . son. His strength, his goodness, the brightness that shines out of him--and it only fuels that hope more than ever."
I will never stop wondering what Crack Carlisle smokes that allows him to see Edward in this way.
WHAT BRIGHTNESS? The boy is a perpetual raincloud?
I like to imagine a smash-cut to Edward hiding in a shadow brooding over his plans for the imminent, self-imposed destruction of his own happiness right as Carlisle says this.
Could you answer #22 from the "3 things" ask game please?
Absolutely!
22. 3 movies/books/tv shows that made you cry
Oof okay ill go with one of each I guess. I didn't used to cry much over anything in media, but I tend to a lot more frequently these days.
The book that made me cry most recently was actually New Moon. Not in my last read of it, which I just finished, but last year when I read it I cried over Harry Clearwater dying. Probably because my mom had just passed away suddenly and I suddenly realised that could understand what it was like for Leah and Seth. It just hit different.
Movie... this is tough I can't think of many off the top of my head actually. I know there's one movie that gets me every time, but I can't think of what it is right now actually 😅 if I do I'll will reblog with it
TV show? I know there have been some episodes of Star Trek DS9 that got me but I can't say off-hand which ones.
as someone who has moved to a smaller city (30K people in total) for grad school, i would like to say twilight is wrong. the smaller the population the more people know you. i went to a cafe twice and they already know my order. 1000% everyone in forks knows the cullens are vampires and are just too entertained by how bad they are at acting normal to break it to them
what makes me actually boil with rage is the way it’s framed as though jacob & the cullens have an even rivalry and like, he hates them just as much as they hate him, but like… jacob is a lower class kid who lives on the rez, the cullens live in a plantation home on private property. jacob calling alice a leech is an insult, but alice calling him a mongrel calls into power and privilege, ya know. like am i supposed to honestly think jake making blonde jokes to rosalie (which is certainly sexist and uncalled for) is on the same level as her serving him food in a dog dish? him seeing the cullens as bloodsuckers and murderers is just like, incorrect and unfair, but them seeing him as uncivilized and over-aggressive has implications deeply rooted in the oppression of his people
