The wolf pack: hey carlisle, remember how you were alive and a citizen of this nation when they stole our lands and you did nothing to stop them? Remember how you were around for the trail of tears and just let it happen? Remember how not only are you a british American who actually materially benefitted from our colonization, but you’re also a vampire whose instincts tell you to murder people, and whose presence literally caused many members of our tribe to go through painful physical transformations without their consent? Yeah, well, we’re going to be the most understanding people in existence and allow you to live near us peacefully, but you have to follow the treaty you made with us and not murder anyone or come on our land

The whole cullen family:

I don’t know if you were aware but the Twilight but Okayer comic blog is selling “effervescent snail” pins

i was NOT aware but i’m also not surprised and i can’t legally do anything about it but acknowledge that that’s just kind of a bummer

you know what i put this in the tags but i’m putting it here too: if you’re going to take my post and use it to make profit then you better fucking donate all that money to the quileute nation or other worthy causes like from this list on blacklivesmatters.carrd.co

Who else was a weird inbetween Twilight fan growing up?

Like, would not be caught DEAD in twilight merch, but might begrudgingly admit to reading them if asked and would just sort of shrug and change the subject.

But also was OBSESSED and would read the books over and over and watched the movies to fall asleep every night etc.

And you could never bring yourself to diss it but were too shameful to defend it so you'd just be like "lol yeah" when people were making jokes about how dumb it was.

Twilight was literally everywhere but you also felt like it was your own dirty little secret at the same time?

What a TIME that was

I've been absolotely loving these comics, but they've also lead me to finding out about Midnight Sun. I know it's like 'twilight now Edwards our main character' but my brains first thought was 'the cullens are human and now bella is the vampire' and none i spend a lot of time thinking about that and i just wanted you to know that

Anon I just want you to know you unleashed my inner monster

Concept: Bella is a new born under mysterious circumstances and the cullens are an adopted family of magic users. I’m kind of obsessed with it

Mormons actually very specifically reference native Americans in the Book of Mormon, as basically Semitic people cursed with darker complexions for their ungodliness. In the intro to the series guide, Meyer talks about her lifelong “fascination” with Native American people and history so I would hazard a guess that this is where her so-called fascination stems from, as well as the over all totally sordid and shoddy depiction of a very real Native American tribe and their beliefs.

I'm honestly super confused as to why Smeyer felt the need to include an actual native tribe in her story. Like, what on EARTH was the thought process behind that?

She could have pulled werewolves out of ANYTHING, and she chose to utilize a real tribe and twist their stories around to suite this romanticized werewolf v vampires story. It's not like the town of Forks was known for its vampire lore, she by no means had to make it all location specific. They could have just been regular characters from the town. Or, if she was desprate for that "rural insular community" vibe she could have made up a place like Hot Shot from the True Blood books.

I know we all agree that it was a bad idea, but honestly how was it an idea to begin with? Has anyone asked what her motivation was in choosing something like that? Theories welcome.

I need a "Emmett hasn't enjoyed a single football game since Alice pranced into town" moodboard

Edward: my dear beloved family. I must ask you all a favor. Would you stop screaming in your heads every hour of the day and night? I am slowly being driven insane. Sincerely, Edward Anthony Masen Cullen.

Rosalie: no

Emmett: no

Alice: no

Jasper: no

I’ve been thinking a lot about how Alice and probably Rosalie have a completely separate manner of dressing themselves when they’re in public versus in private and I don’t mean that it the way a normal person has a different manner of dressing for home vs public.

Alice and Rosalie have to really tone down and assimilate as normal teens/college students in public, not drawing too much attention to themselves despite he fact that they definitely have the most outrageously beautiful and meticulously archived collection of garments that they’ve collected over the past 70-80 years.

They can get away with wearing a few of their more subtle pieces - alice in some comme des garçon stripy T-shirt’s and helmet Lang sweaters. Just a hint of something experimental, well designed and prohibitively expensive. Rosalie can get away with a snug cashmere cardigan that she’s kept preserved since the 40s, houndstooth cigarette pants, a silk scarf bought in Paris in the 60s tied in her hair or around her neck if she’s feeling spicy.

But when they’re at home they don’t have to pretend they’re anything but immortal teens with an eye for fashion and all things vanity.

Catch Rosalie in this get up .5 seconds after she gets in the door, like it’s the comfiest coziest sweater you can finally throw on at the end of a long day:

Or one of these:

(Also Veronica lake is literally Rosalie like literally)

A

Meanwhile Alice zips around the house like this:

Or like this:

And imagine the possibilities when they inevitably borrow from each other’s closets.

Interestingly I don’t really imagine the same complex as much for the rest of the Cullens. I think Carlisle probably has some breeches or something he wears like just for Esme and Esme might have a few nice tailored shirt dresses but she doesn’t really care to wear them anymore, preferring pants anyway. Jasper and Emmett of course also have some clothing from the past decades but Emmett just doesn’t have the same angst Rosalie has about time passing so he wears a leisure suit or whatever when the mood strikes. jasper, while angsty, expresses that by probably getting rid of his few pre-Alice belongings, including clothing. He probably does love a good pair of suede chaps though lbr (“sorry, the chaps stay ON during sex, babe”)

Edward also has a complex but I think it would mean he’s totally minimalist about his clothing, and never feeling nostalgic about past fashions bc he hates himself or whatever.

Alice and Rosalie though have very different complicated reasons to use fashion to express themselves and view their physical form as a way to create. Rosalie is vain as a means of creativity, I think, not just in a derogatory sense that is described in canon. She’s reclaimed the attention to her looks by further investing in beauty and self adornment where now it’s like a body of artwork over time, showing times she lived through.

Alice is the opposite - she’s living in the future, with no past to look back on. She’s the least human of the Cullens, with no human memories to lament over. She’s into imagining a reality that doesn’t yet exist, and one way to bring the future into the present is dressing like you’re from the future - which she basically is.

I mean yeah

y’all rip renee to shreds. Renee isn’t an ideal mom but moms don’t have to be martyrs to be worthy of respect and personhood. Every single parent makes mistakes and Renee has done some messed up stuff and parentalized bella at a young age. But she’s also emotional and communicative and Bella and her have an extremely tight bond. Have we ever thought that maybe Bella was able to express herself emotionally and creatively better with Renee than with stoic Charlie?

And most importantly are we really going to take what SMEYER said about her and accept it as truth? Smeyer who said Leah was frigid, Rosalie was vain, and Jess was stupid?? Come on, we as a community need to either accept her words as cannon (death of the author style) or think that she did all the women dirty, not pick and choose which characters she bastardized as we like it

I’m not saying anyone has to totally agree with me, I’m just saying before you yell “Renee was a terrible mother” think of how Smeyers treats women and the lens through which Smeyer views women: how well they fit into old fashioned girlfriend/wife/mother roles. Maybe Renee deserves criticism but not in the black and white way it’s currently being done in the community

bella after finding out her baby is a literal demon:

[vampyrdotjpeg]

AS MUCH AS I WOULD DIE FOR THE MOVIES BELLA SWAN’S PERSONALITY WAS WATERED DOWN AND BELLA AND EDWARD’S ON-SCREEN ROMANCE WAS QUICKENED AND SKIPPED THE WIT AND HUMOR AND BANTER AND THE ACTUAL FALLING IN LOVE AND IT SUCKS BECAUSE IT CREATED THE FIRST IMPRESSION FOR EVERY NON-TWILIGHT READER AND SET THE STAGE FOR EVERYONE TO CRITICIZE !!!! BUT EVERYONE WHO CRITICIZES IT AND HASN’T READ THE BOOKS DOESN’T KNOW BELLA OR HER AND EDWARD’S LOVE LIKE I DO THEY JUST FUCKING DON’T AND THEY’LL NEVER UNDERSTAND HOW WRONG THEY ARE WHY DID THEY DO THIS TO ME

AND I’M SORRY THIS IS ALL CAPS BUT I’M GOING THROUGH SHIT

[vampyrdotjpeg]

Wait so ARE Jacob and Emmet gay and together in thr ruff bois au? Please say yes

There are a bunch of different Ruff Bois universes where the only difference is who’s dating who- sometimes it’s Edward and Jacob, Bella Edward and Jacob, Jacob and Benjamin, Jacob and Emmett- you can pretty much imagine it’s in whatever universe you like the best, BUT in all universes Jacob and Emmett have no homo kissed and they send each other their nudes for feedback

Pothos

Hi! While I have my nerve I’m going to post this- I haven’t written anything for public eye in a long time. 

I’d been thinking for a long time that Bella & Edward’s love story would be so much better if Bella had the chance to mature a little bit. So I wrote this:

When Edward left Bella in New Moon, what if he didn’t come back until he was sure that Bella wasn’t going to live happily ever after. It’s 7 years later and Bella is floating through life as a 25 year old in Los Angeles when he comes back into her life.

Please please please tell me what you think or if this is worth continuing. 

Keep reading

As much as I love Carlisle, while he's very kind, when you think about it he's also kinda...not sadistic but??

Like, he saw Rosalie and he didn't turn her because she needed help, but because he thought she would be a good partner for edward, as well as "such a waste". He saw a beaten and raped woman dying and his thought was "I can't waste this chance for Edward".

He turned edward because he wanted a son and got elisabeths permission to do it.

He turned Esme against her will because he loved her.

He works in a hospital, he's been a doctor for a long time, and maybe he likes saving lives but I think he's also good at the job because death doesn't mean much to him. He doesn't remember what suffering and pain feels like.

He asked his friends and family to die for his close family/coven.

I love Carlisle and I think he's truly good but I also think he's so old he just doesn't fully remember humanity. I think death means so little to him. I think there's a dark streak in him that means he'll act in HIS best interests.

I love the idea of a slightly dark Carlisle, who is so old he's detached from humanity. He's good at being human, but I like the idea that some of it is an act.
