I don’t miss being in a relationship, I just miss forcing straight men to watch the extended additions of Twilight with me.

I think part of what attracted me to Twilight in the first place was it seemed so intimate and mundane despite the fantastical ridiculous high stakes elements. Bella is just… thinking of grocery lists and cooking dinner and reading her worn out copies of classics and looking at her purple bedspread with fondness and exasperation and sending emails to her mother and wishing she could just feel like she fits in which is such a common feeling. She deals with trying to befriend people and getting asked out not because she’s any better but because she’s new and high school boys get bored and seeing her dad put chains on her tires for the ice and having all these people who remember her as a child but don’t know her, not really. She is every girl and no girl.
Even when Edward is revealed to be a vampire, she wants to go on a date and meet his family and see their house and spend time together of course she describes infatuated as addicted and sees this relationship as the center of her world. She smells the air and describes the weather and thinks about things that are just so small and unimportant that it makes the book feel like a slice of life sometimes. Even with the horrible characterization and plot inconsistencies and endless Morman influences, there is just a simple and boring richness behind Bella’s day to day life that is missing in her backstory and most of the characters idk I’m giving SM too much credit but there’s love there and I can’t help it

In Midnight Sun, Edward lists Milwaukee, Chicago, Philadelphia and more places in which he “rebelled” then states he avoided going too far East to avoid Carlisle but Philly is super far East, like he only avoided New Jersey which mood but like it doesn’t make sense. Pittsburgh would make sense since it’s s so close to Ohio. Idk Smeyer needs to look at a map.

one of the overlooked horror aspects of Twilight unrelated to Bella & Edward's romance is 200-year-old Carlisle Cullen changing 17-year-old Edward Masen, a boy so sick he couldn't even consent to becoming a vamp.
Edward says Carlisle was lonely and wanted a companion. but what kind of "companionship" can a man get from a child? Carlisle was desperate, sure, but he could have picked anyone dying during the influenza pandemic to be his companion. why Edward?
imo, Carlisle didn't want a companion in the sense that he wanted an equal partner. Carlisle wanted someone he could care for forever without having to worry about them dying. he wants to play the role of caretaker because—up until this point—it's the role he knows best and the only role he's comfortable with. because the influenza pandemic put this image of himself in jeopardy (as he has to watch countless die of a novel disease he cannot treat), Carlisle looked to someone who could reaffirm his role. Carlisle doesn't want a relationship between equals—he wants validation that he'll always be needed in this world. what better way to do that than to change a young boy who will never mentally progress beyond 17?
the argument here is, "oh, well Carlisle treated Edward's mom who made him promise to save her son." it begs the question why THIS plea is the one that gets to him. was this the first time a 200-year-old doctor got pleas from his patients to save them? i highly doubt no one on their deathbed ever thought to appeal to the Mysteriously Perfect Hot Doctor to save their life by any means necessary.
which leads me to believe Edward being turned is not just the result of a) Carlisle being lonely, b) a "noble" man making a promise, or c) the pandemic creating ripe conditions for someone to disappear, but also, e) an implicit desire to reaffirm his role as caretaker in a moment of self-doubt; plus bonus, d) a worse fifth thing
