Hear me out:

Twisted Alice with a S/o who was reincarnated into a version of Alice Angel from the ink but they changed their appearance to look more like themselves but still kinda look like Alice (like they cut their hair, maybe changed their outfit, maybe more-)

This one was interesting to do! Anything can be changed in imagination. Thank you for requesting this! Twisted Alice really doesn't get enough love.))

(Again you can change anything you want in ur mind , i.e gender, hair style, clothing, etc)

Twisted Alice x GN!Incarnate Reader

Alice as most know, is not one for "love", she despises the concept of love, even thinking about it alone makes her want to rip searchers to shreds. Ever since she was double crossed by Joey back in the 30's and sacrificed to the Machine, she swore off on loving anyone as her trust in new people was greatly diminished. She wouldn't even begin to think that anyone would love her, because of her face. One eye gouged out and part of her mouth ripped open like Mark Hoffman from Saw. That's why she has a conquest to be "beautiful".

But, something changed inside Alice when she first saw you.

At first she wanted to gut you for your insides to heal her face, as you were an incarnation of her, but that never happened. She was more than surprised when you gave her one thing that she has not experienced in a long time... that thing is kindness.

She questions you when you show her kindness, saying "Why, are you being so nice to me? I wanted to harvest your insides not even thirty seconds ago!" And you simply replied with,

"Even the most damned beings, deserve compassion and kindness."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Alice was ready to breakdown into tears, crying was something she was not acquainted with so she held it back the best she could. She did try, but when she felt two arms encircle her in an embrace, the waterworks flowed from her eye and ripped sobs from her throat.

Sinking down to the ground, the fallen angel weeped in your arms as you held her tight, not willing to let any monster attack her as she was vulnerable. And so from then on, a relationship blossomed, Alice; the twisted angel, and an Alice incarnate by the name of F/N.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~ Alice does her best to make sure you are comfortable being with her in a relationship, as her murderous habits still stick with her, she can't help that though.

~She cherishes you like you are a piece of fragile ruby, not letting you out of her sight and likes to he near you

~the poor woman is touch starved after not having much interaction for over the past 30-40+ years, so she likes to do anything to touch you. Whether that be holding your hand, brushing your leg with hers, bear hugging, etc.

~if the Ink Demon is to attempt to lay a finger on you, she chases him down with an axe, screaming to get away from her darlin'

~she loves it when you have your attention on her, it just makes her feel whole.

~when you are focusing on another task and haven't payed attention to Alice in awhile, she will rip you away from whatever you are doing, and will sit on your bed with you until you pay attention to her

~Alice loves sleeping next to you

~you keep her nightmares away at night, as all she can dream about next to you is pleasant dreams of you and her

(A mix of headcanons/the backstory how you met?? I could've done better but limited time because of school. Ciao for now! Hope you liked it!)

Ten o’clock on the dot, as promised, a knock on the front door draws me from my reverie. I’d spent the last 30 minutes after getting ready, lost in my head on the couch. Surely today’s talk with Jasper won’t end badly, god I hope not.

Swinging the door open, my eyes snap to his and a smile takes over my face on instinct. “Hey.”

“Good morning, darlin’.” The way his accent wraps around that familiar term of endearment will always make me weak in the knees.

He almost completely blocks my view but bright yellow behind him just barely snags my vision-is that?

“Did you-?”

“Borrow my sister’s apology gift? Yes, it’s a little bit too wet for a bike ride, sweetheart.” Turning to look at Alice’s car, he misses the blush heating my cheeks at the memory of the last time I was on his motorcycle, holding him close.

“Fair enough.” I turn to snag my coat from the hook near the door before closing and locking it.

His outstretched hand helps be down the front stairs before leading me to the passenger side of the beautiful Porsche. Beautiful is an understatement for this piece of machinery, I hate to even ruin the floor mats with my wet shoes.

“Alice chose her gift wisely, Edward did good.” Jasper chuckles slightly at my comment as I lower myself into the seat and he shuts the door gently, cocooning me in silence momentarily until his door opens.

“What she did for him - to save him, this was the least he could do.” Watching him start the car, I realize it’s a manual transmission.

He smoothly shifts it into reverse to exit my driveway before shifting again to leave the neighborhood. My brain stutters a little as I watch him maneuver the car, god - is everything this man does going to be ridiculously attractive?

“Where are we going?” I manage to drag my gaze from his hand and I’m caught, he smirks like he fucking knows.

“Since everyone is home, we’re going somewhere with privacy.” A shiver trickles over my skin quickly even though I’m wearing a coat, somewhere with privacy.

Excitement begins to bubble up in my chest and I opt to watch the trees as the pass by quickly outside my window, trying and probably failing to hide my own smirk.

Jasper

Easing the car to a stop, I watch as the realization of where we are dawns on her.

“Our spot!” A breathtaking smile overtakes her face as she turns to me quickly and I’m stunned, it’s like I’m staring at an angel incarnate, gorgeous.

I chuckle and exit the vehicle, excitement and pure joy flow from her unmitigated and I smile to myself, letting her emotion wash over me like waves gently lapping at the shore.

I barely graze the door handle with my fingers before her impatience at my lack of speed flings the door open. The moment I met her quickly flashing through my mind before I catch the door, stopping it from snapping back closed in her face. “Darlin’-” I tease her, but I’m not the object of her focus.

“This view really is unfair.” Her voice is gentle as she brushes past me and closes in on the railing at the edge, protectiveness flaring in my chest at her proximity to danger.

Sporadic, gloomy clouds dot the ridge line, but the scenery is bathed in a wetness from the rain that highlights the deep tones of the forest. The air is crisp and humid, clean but also heavy with the scent of drenched wood.

“It is.” But I’m not talking about what’s beyond, I’m looking at her.

She turns at my comment and realizes my words since my eyes never leave hers, a warm blush floods her face and I quickly remove the distance between us, my finger under her chin to stop her from hiding bashfully.

“No hiding from me, not this beautiful face.” I whisper as my eyes dance along the planes and contours of her. Her joy increases tenfold and I swear it gives me a new life, she gives me new life.

I kiss her quickly even though it goes against every fiber of my being not to take my time with her mouth, but we’re here for a purpose. For a conversation long overdue.

Jasper

Taking a deep breath and a step backwards to keep my head on straight, I dig down to my very core - somewhere no one else has been, and begin.

“To know me is to hate me - to hate me like I hate myself. I hate what I am at a cellular level. I can’t be a normal guy in love with a normal girl. I can’t allow myself to be caught up in you, your scent, your touch. I have to keep myself in check, I can’t let my thoughts or feelings run away from myself with you near. I can’t seduce you in ways I wish I could without the fear of hurting you.” A deep breath in and out, my throat is raw for the first time in a very long time, like the words bubbling up are burning. “And because I hate what I am, I hate who I am. I’m a monster that killed without complaint or a second thought for so long. It withered away at my soul, at my very core. It changed me entirely, I can’t rewind and get that version of myself back.” I swallow hard. My fingers run furrows through my hair, my skin is fucking crawling. “So how am I supposed to let you love someone like myself? How do I tether an angel like you, to a demon like me? How do I ask you to compromise yourself to fit into my world? Because you have to bend to me, you have to keep my secrets and give up so much of a normal life just to be mine. How do I ask that of the person I hold in highest regard? In the chance you choose this life, choose to change - you’re giving up on moving forward, having children, grandchildren, growing old with someone you love, staying in the lives of your loved ones, the list goes on and on and on. You could potentially come to resent me and darlin’, I wouldn’t survive that.” I pause, letting the words ruminate.

I feel slightly human again, breathing like I’ve run for miles. And I have, I’ve been outrunning this horrible inner monologue for one-hundred and forty-three years. Alone.

Until now. Until her.

Reader

I-I’m stunned. He can’t possibly think all of these things about himself, not this absolute gentleman, this tender and kind man?

“To get to know me-to love me, is a death sentence. I’m a walking liability, I’m not safe. With everything I’ve done, I’m a monster.”

“You are no such thing-” he opens his mouth to interrupt, but I’m quick to stop him. Giving him an encouraging smile I ask, “Let me get this out?”

His eyes are desperate and hanging on for dear life waiting for what I have to say.

“To know you is to love you, Jasper. You are so many things, but a death sentence - a liability, isn’t any of them. Nobody is safe in this world and I’m certainly safest when I’m with you.” Happy tears prick at my eyes as I dredge all of these feelings up, words he should’ve heard a lifetime ago. “And above it all, you. Are. Not. A. Monster. In any shape or form, Jasper Hale. You had a master manipulator as a creator, and she twisted you until you couldn’t take it anymore - until you had to run away. Monsters don’t feel remorse, regret, or empathy. This right here - what you’re feeling when you look inwards, is proof enough that you are not this terrible horrible thing incapable of giving or receiving love.” I smile up at him, so relieved to get this off my chest, “And if the last six months is anything, it’s proof that I don’t want this life if you aren’t in it. It’s insanity to even suggest that I could love anyone else a fraction of the amount that I love you, even more so to insinuate I’d ever build a life with anyone other than you. So no, I don’t care about any of those things, not if I can’t have you.”

I can see the racing thoughts behind the storm in his eyes, the war my words have waged on the inner monologue he’s had for most of his life. I don’t expect to change his way of thinking instantly, but all I’m looking for is just a ripple, a slight shift in the tide, something to work with and build over time because I’m not fucking going anywhere.

This man deserves someone to fight for him and I was meant to dawn this armor.

Jasper

“You have to know that you have an out, you don’t have to do this.” She’s stepping forward to cup my face and the depth of her eyes has me in a trance.

“I’m already all in, I’ve been in since the moment I met you. Stop offering outs, no amount of harsh truths are going to scare me away. It’s me and you.” She says it with such conviction my breath stutters.

“Me and you?” Unreal, this anchor holding me to earth, this angel willing to brave this life with me.

“Always.” She confirms my fate - our fate, like a simple fact. Short and sweet, just like her

A/N: My first short fic! And I am proud of this one (: Hope you enjoy it!

+ dedicating this to my new beautiful moots (: @syzrina @f4ll-for-you @aemondsdaemons

based on “The Summer I Turned Pretty”!

It was a tradition; every summer, your mother’s best friend, Alicent and her family, the Targaryens, would join yours for a summer at a province amidst the sea. You always enjoyed the company; it was something to look forward to, a respite from the clamoring hallways at school and irrepressible drama with your girlfriends. Plus, having an extra family in the house made for more laughter and affection, as you only saw them once a year for about two months. 

However, you noticed Aemond and Aegon becoming more comely yet antisocial the last two summers. They contrasted to their brother Daeron, who with every year shouted louder while racing around the house, never a word leaving his lips that wasn’t filled with comedy. 

Aemond spent most of his time diving into books he would find in the library, avoiding eye contact whenever you perched yourself down on the sofa beside him and asked if you could read too. You assumed he started to dislike the appearance of the affliction he suffered as a child, losing an eye in a brawl and being judged more heavily as a result. While on the other hand, Aegon was always on the phone with a new girl, telling each one how he was going to be “so sweet,” with them when he got back home, whatever that meant. You also found him sneaking out in the middle of the night to the nearby town, only coming back in the morning restless and filled with the pungent smell of rum or vodka. 

Losing Aegon’s company hurt the most, primarily because he used to take you out to get ice cream and laugh, wiping the residue of the milky substance off your lips when it started to melt. Not to mention, he would take you to shops and watch you dance around in circles with the dress he picked out—telling you that you looked beautiful over and over again. 

You wondered if he still thought you looked beautiful…

When you arrived at the house, you dashed through the door, looking for Helaena, sweet Helaena. She was always such a blissful addition to your days, and her company never got tiring. After all, how could you not love a walking re-incarnation of an angel? 

Your mother walked closely behind you, you had no siblings and your dad was out of the picture, but you wouldn’t have it any other way. Alicent and her friendship was made better for it, for both of them had husbands that didn’t deserve their time, and leaving them was the most terrific choice. 

Helaena hugged you, then leaned back, holding out a caterpillar in her hand, “Look, Y/N!” She squealed, knowing that you shared a liking for bugs too. You could have sworn the caterpillar was rare as you have never seen one with strips that prominent, a prospect!

“Have you named them yet?” You asked, squeezing your cheeks with a smile so tightly you could have burst. 

“Not yet, but I am thinking Y/N!” 

You giggled and then saw the boys come out from the corner of the staircase. They looked so different although you knew it hadn’t been that long. Even Daeron got a little taller.

Aemond let his hair grow long below his shoulders, but it fit him nonetheless, and he didn’t bother to give a smile, only a tiny grunt of acknowledgment that you were present. A black eyepatch covered his eye; you always wondered what was underneath and why he neglected to show it. After all, he was still just as handsome with or without it.

Then, you turned your eyes to Aegon, who already had a light smirk painted across his lips. He also let his hair grow out, but only down to behind his ears, and his features were sadder, almost worn down, but he was beautiful, still. 

“Y/N,” Aegon said, having opened his arms for you to come to fall into his hug. As you walked forwards, you saw Alicent look away from the two of you in distaste. 

Why would she do that? 

As you fell into his grasp, you noticed how much more muscular his arms had become and the way he grew a little taller so that you could fit ideally below his chin. His touch was soothing, almost soft enough to where you could fall into a deep slumber right then and there and not realize any time had passed.

Aegon leaned his head down and ran a hand through the back of your hair, “You missed me, didn’t you?”

“Shut up,” you muttered quickly, pulling out of his hug to give him exactly what he didn’t want, a loss of womanly affection. 

He groaned jokingly, but kept his eyes pressed against you for the remainder of the meet and greet. You were his prize, something he had seen and been with for so long but never tamed. 

And although he deemed every girl he slept with special, you were extraordinary, someone he wanted to treat with care, or at least try to. After all, your giggles rang in his ear like the sound of wine being poured in his cup. It was a necessity, and though wine was easily accessible, you on the contrary, were not. 

He made you slightly nervous though, although you had an extensive history with one another. You couldn’t explain it. It was as if something grew in your stomach with his touch. An inexplainable feeling that you wanted to explore further but, at the same time, were too shy to at the moment. 

As time passed and you moved all your things in, you waited for Helaena to come to get you as she always did, taking you outside, and walking around together, inspecting the ground and the creatures that lie amongst the dirt, but she didn’t. So you decided to go and find her instead. 

You slipped on a swim cover-up and dug your feet into a pair of sandals, excited for the first day in the sun—how you couldn’t wait to feel the rays of light pressed up against your skin.

When you walked out of your room, you found Aegon standing outside the door, and his eyes fluttered to yours, refusing to break the eye contact he had created.

His eyes were of lilacs, and his gaze impenetrable, “I was just going to come to look for you,” he smiled crossing one foot over the other and leaning leisurely into the wall. 

“Me?” You asked crossing your arms over your chest in disbelief; he had practically ignored you the past two summers, and now he was looking for you? It seemed stupid. 

“Yes, you! Swim with me tonight. I know how much you always liked night swims,” 

You then leaned back into the wall and raised your hands, annoyed, but his position changed and his arms caught you between them, pinning you so you couldn’t move. He bit his lip, and you felt your eyes grow wide in confusion.

But it angered you; why would he want to see you now? 

“No, Aegon!” You shouted, uncaring about who heard the conversation.

“Why not?”

Your mouth dropped open, you couldn’t believe he was asking why, “You practically ignored me the past two summers, and now you want to hang out with me? Not happening!” 

But you had to admit that being so close to him, with your noses about to graze the other, it made your heart beat faster than usual. Too fast. 

Aegon then moved his lips closer to your ear, touching your skin ever so delicately. “That was then, though. I want to see you now. I will be waiting for you tonight. You know where to find me.” 

With that, he tore himself backward and winked as he walked away into the distance. 

What just happened?

As the day drew into the night, you felt yourself thinking about Aegon’s offer. He was so condescending with you, but you did really miss being around him—too much.

It wasn’t as if he would do anything bad, right? After all, your families were practically connected at the hip. So, it wouldn’t be such a bad idea to go.  

You laid in bed trying to forget about everything, not even wanting to check your phone to see if anyone had called or texted. But thoughts of his lips connecting with your ear made you restless. It was imperative that you made it happen again, and explore the feeling he gave you. 

He was right, night swims were your favorite, for the glistening of the stars in the dark water strangely brought peace. And maybe things with Aegon could be amended…if there was anything to amend. 

You slipped on a swimsuit and peered into the mirror to see if it was too revealing; after all, in the past year, your body became fuller. But it was fine. 

After all, he was a friend, right?

The walk to the sea was about ten minutes, as it had a secluded pathway to get there. And as you peeked around the miles of sand, you didn’t see him. 

But then, a boy emerged out of the water in the distance, and as he got closer, you saw his signature smirk…and the way his body had changed.

His swim trunks laid low on his hips, too low, and the way his muscles were outlined was hard not to notice. It was clear he matured, and it started to fluster you.

As he ran up to you, he grabbed your hand and jolted you towards the water he had just come from, “I knew you’d come. You look great,” he laughed. 

You look great. 

You offered a smile that called for a peace offering and focused on flying yourself head first into the water, letting sea engulf you whole. 

The first taste of summer water! You had waited all year for this. In the light waves you bobbled your head above the surface and grinned from ear to ear, before leaning back into the water to look up at the clear sky, full of stars. The Big Dipper even made itself visible tonight.

Suddenly, you felt arms grapple around your waist, pulling you playfully backwards into the salty sea and then in circles. 

You screamed and let out a couple of giggles at the continual touch, and Aegon only offered you a crack of a smile as he took you in all for himself, forcing you to look at him after he stopped the spinning. 

His hands decided not to leave your abdomen, and you grew stiff, unknowing how to respond.

His face was sculpted by the moonlight, and his silver hair was accented. You felt yourself looking down at the curve of his lips, but you realized you had been looking for too long, and you blushed, hoping it wasn’t noticeable in the dim light. 

“Aegon-“ you started, nervously pulling your face away from his and to the rippling of the waves, but he took a hand off of your waist to turn your face back to his, so he could stare at the lustrous glint of your eyes once more. 

He bit down on his lip, “I like when you get nervous around me,” 

“I am not!” 

Quickly, you tried to look away again, but his hand caught your face same as before, proving his point. Nerves were imprinted on your skin and body language, and an escape seemed unlikely.

You needed to think of a comeback, anything to stop the intensity of his stare, but his eyes traveled to your lips as yours once did to him, and you lost your train of thought. 

Any and all words you wanted to say died, and any and all movements you wished to take gone as well. 

But you heard him on the phone in the past, the way he would whisper to girls, the desires he would state. It wasn’t your wish to be another one of his playthings. 

“You do this with every girl you meet,” you said in a whispered laugh, hoping that he would just let you go and choose to stop making your insides twirl. 

He dipped his head low so as to touch your noses together. It was too intimate; you could feel as his breath traveled into your mouth, “So, now I am seducing you?” He cooed.

“No, I’m sorry, I don’t know-“

Before you could finish, he pushed his head even closer to yours, tightening his grip on your waist. His hands drilled holes in your sides, like he never dreamed of letting you go as long as you’d let him keep you.

Your lips were centimeters apart, and your breathing became heavy; he opened his mouth slightly, “Would you like me to Y/N? Seduce you?” 

Your mind wished to find a rational answer, to go back inside and hide under your covers, but you couldn’t ignore the desire that grew so heavily inside, a craving that needed to be satisfied. 

A wave came heavier, and you couldn’t help but fall into him, but he caught you and pulled you tightly into him, “Is that a yes?” 

“Yes,” you said hesitantly. 

Then with haste, Aegon crashed his lips into yours. The softness and sweetness poured themselves into your mouth. It was like electricity, a sensation unlike no other, shaking your body to its core. And he refused to stop, not allowing for much breath between kisses. 

He wanted this just as badly as you did.

Eventually, he slid his tongue into your mouth, connecting you to him. 

You felt as his hands crossed your waist to your breasts, cupping them in his hands.

Without warning, a slight moan escaped from your lips, and he smiled into his kisses and squeezed tighter, “This is what I have wanted,” he whispered as he moved to your neck to kiss it up and down, watching as your mouth moved in appreciation. 

Slowly, you mustered the words, “You’ve wanted me?”

“For so long. I have always wanted to know how you would react with my touch.”

Then, without caution, he bit down on your collarbone, and you let out a cry as it only aroused you further. It was animalistic, yet captured your wishes fully.

Aegon then removed his lips with a slick pop and looked up, taking in the sight of you and your wet hair. He loved nothing more than you in your natural state, ravaged and needy for him. Wet and tampered with by the earth. 

“What is it-“ you began, but he cut you off.

“Come,”

He grabbed your hand as he did when he pulled you first into the sea with him and swam with you to the shore, pushing you deep into the sand on your back. 

The tide pooled around you, sinking you further under him as he lifted himself over you. 

Slowly, he wrapped your legs around his waist and began kissing your neck once more, but this time more aggressively, biting deeply after each kiss. 

You then moved your hands around, only finding solace when they became entangled in his pearly damp hair. Then, his pants slowly became stiffer and stiffer. The length of him pressing so firmly against your sweet spot. Hardening as he fulfilled his desires of not only kissing you but feeling that you wanted him.

“Kiss me again,” you breathed, trying to catch your breath, but you didn’t need it anyway. And obediently, Aegon urged his mouth and tongue into yours once more, but instead of reaching for your waist to dig his hands into, he clawed at your bikini bottoms, slipping his hands in and looking for the spot that cried for him as he pressed himself against you.

The touch forced your head back, and he enjoyed the prospect, lying his free hand on your throat as he continued brushing his lips with yours. 

It felt so good, the sensitivity kept growing, and you couldn’t stop it. He created circles right where you needed them and then stuck one of his fingers into your slit.

You blushed and moaned loudly into his ear. You hadn’t realized how wet you were until now when his finger slid seamlessly into you, so much so that he added another, “This is all for me, isn’t it?”

When you didn’t respond, he commanded, “Tell me it is, Y/N. Tell me it is for me.”

“It’s for you,” you forced out as his fingers crooked themselves the same way you crooked them when you were all alone at night. 

He chuckled, “Good because it should only be for me,” 

Aegon fucked you with haste, his fingers not stopping, and you felt the climax coming, “Aegon,” you moaned as your legs began to shake, and a tightness held his fingers until you could release them, falling back into the wet sand. 

When you went to reach for him, to please him, he pushed your hand away and smiled, “I don’t want you to,”

“What?”

And then, Aegon stood up, leaving you alone as you laid with the tide slowly consuming you. You turned and looked for him, wondering if he was serious. But he was gone.

You groaned and rolled your eyes.

That was Aegon, leaving when things seemed good; you should have expected it.

secret love

"Oop! Alice, sweetie, is that you? Goodness, hand that over to me and stay put while we put the rest of the Civic Center's order in the carriage!"

Before the melodic voice of the florist can reach Alice's ears, it's her hands that register the angelic presence first - as Seth takes the large vase from her, her hands cover hers ever so gently... of course, this is all to ensure the safety of the contains of the vase - many, many white roses, so many, that they'd blocked Alice's vision completely as she attempted to walk out of the shop just now, thus putting her in her current situation where she was a mere second away from bumping into the florist.

Working at the Civic Center, Alice is used to the chaos that comes with the annual banquet, especially now that she's put in charge of decorating the large hall where it takes place. The order for fresh flowers alone is a heavy task, one for which she was provided with help from five red army soldiers who are currently rushing to upload the heavier flowerpots in the carriage waiting outside. But it's the inevitable meeting with the beautiful clerk at Canis Major that sends Alice's heart for a sprint.

Now that the vase, as well as all that remains of the lingering warmth, is taken from Alice's hands, she spends a short moment collecting herself with upwards-turned palms still hanging in the air...

She always remembers Seth like this; holding onto dozens of pretty flowers and easily outshining each and every single one of them.

Her tall frame, her long lashes; the neat ponytail holding her Cornflower Blue hair, everything down to the French tip of her neatly trimmed nails is grace incarnated; the way she puts the vase in the carriage with utter delicateness only to nextly wrap her hands around the wheelbarrow's handles and push so effortlessly where a soldier previously left it at rest to pause for a breather... Uploading the heavy pots into the same carriage a second later without the need for assistance, not letting a single drop of sweat roll down to ruin her perfect image. Something so utterly androgynous and divine about Seth; breathtaking and unable to be put into words. Alice helplessly stares.

"Here, you can take this instead!"

As usual, the flowers blur to uninteresting colorful splotches when Seth holds them, so Alice is left to blush with embarrassment the way she needs to look down to see what exactly is Seth giving her.

"Huh? I don't think this was in the order— Hold on, the list is on me somewhere, let me check—"

"Tut-tut, silly girl! You won't find it on the list. These are for you!"

A flower pot with gardenias.

The book on flower language that Alice bought impulsively last week and totally not while thinking of someone will come in handy. If she reaches home without fainting once, that's it.

3. Daniel K. Eng: My Favorite Bible Passage about Christmas isn't in the Gospels

“Around this time of year, we read and hear Scripture passages about the birth of Christ. It’s a great time for us to consider what Christmas means. Because of this, my favorite passage about Jesus’ birth is not found in the Gospels. It’s actually from Galatians.”

4. Harold Kim: Sweet Surrender: A Christmas Devotion

“In the Bible, naming demonstrates authority, ownership, manageable control. This explains why Jesus was not named but given the name that means ‘God saves.’ From the moment of His conception to birth, Jesus has never been under our control.”

5. TGIF: Roundup for December 20, 2019

In case you missed it, here are some headlines from last week: He Made Them Male and Female - Sex, Gender, and the Image of God, Common Trials Are Still Trials, and The Forgotten Figure in the Nativity Scene.

Now that I read it, ngl I like "Life And Death" way better than "Twilight". Spoilers ahead.

CONS:

I have one really big issue and that’s that the execution for disproving that Twilight wasn’t sexist fell so flat. Bella experienced sexist treatment at the hands of Edward (her boyfriend), Charlie (her father), and Jacob (her best friend). While I can see what SM was getting at about Edward and Bella’s relationship specifically being uneven not because of gender, but because of power dynamics, Bella experienced sexism from her other important male relationships. Charlie and Edward had the whole “Take care of my girl” exchange in front of Bella like she wasn’t even there when he came to pick her up for baseball and it irritated her. Beau had his dad being awestruck that his son scored someone so hot in the equivalent scene and Beau was like “ikr?”. In NM (granted L&D didn’t get this far and went a different plot route in the end), Jacob sexually assaults Bella and because she can’t physically stop him, she just has to wait it out. Beau, like Bella, gets a harem to choose from, but unlike Bella, has (imo) more control at rearranging these dynamics.

There were also the societal adjustments made to suit Beau’s gender…like the assault in Port Angeles….what? Boys can’t be victims of random almost gang rapes? Or Beau’s fave book. The neuroscientist in me is like “well, there is a 2% genetic difference in males and females that accounts for mechanistic changes in brain functioning” while the sociologist in me is like “bullshit, his preference change is because of gender conformity and expectations”. So I’m torn.

Also the entire book is basically a fan fiction and a ploy for the author to make some more money (Yes I got suckered in, but still bro….you didn’t change much. I’d rather have something rewritten than revised).

Also, as much as I like the queer Twilight ideas, Bella would be just as “abused” in her relationship with Edythe and Beau would be “abused” in his relationship with Edward (I quote this because abused is the word used by fandom critics - I, like SM, always saw it as a power dynamic issue, not abuse, but that’s another thing all together) because both narrators just seem so damn susceptible to brainwashing and both versions of their love interest are incredibly forcible in their assertions and wills. The dynamics of their relationship don’t actually change much in the narrative, which was SM’s point - many people only called it abusive bc Edward was a male and Bella was a female, when in actuality it should be considered that way no matter what the gender or sexuality dynamics. Just saying. Stay consistent because, for all her faults, SM did. Edward/Edythe almost always got their way while Bella/Beau was often frustrated because they had to be the compliant one. When B does exert their will, it has to be through trickery rather than talking it out like adults bc they know E will be an obstacle. That is not an equivalent relationship and no amount of gender/sexuality changes will change that.

PROS:

So many things I loved. I adored Bella and Beau is just as lovable. He is so tol and so awkward and so adoring of this girl and it was refreshing to read a YA romance (esp a supernatural/fantasy one) about an ordinary boy falling in love with an extraordinary girl. I also like the fact that he’s more straight-forward in his descriptions of things that aren’t Edythe than Bella is. Bella goes on and on about how green and wet and cold it is and how she hates Forks bc it’s not Phoenix. That never appealed to me. Beau’s straight-forwardness and briefness about these details, to me, emphasizes the suddenly flowery, dramatic language he adopts when basking in Edythe’s glory. It was cute.

The genderbent versions of the characters seemed so much more…well-rounded and developed compared to their original incarnations. Which is weird because the book is essentially a copy-n-paste except for a few key moments and changes. Perhaps the author was just more comfortable writing them this time around.

Edythe Cullen is so much cooler than Edward. I didn’t like Edward much but I understand Beau’s obsession more than Bella’s. Fr dude I get it. Like the ECs essentially have the same rotten personality but it’s the little details that draw you in. Edythe’s details make her more awesome than Edward, sorry not sorry. She’s also like, smol and graceful and possibly more sarcastic than any version of all the characters which contrasts Beau’s slightly overwhelmed baby giraffe status so adorably. She reminds me of those evil-but-elegant looking Maine Coon cats.

A bevy of awesome female characters. Because so many of the key supernaturals were male in Twilight, it is fucking amazing that this whole new world seems so female driven. The new Volturi? Yes. The matriarch wolf pack? Double yes.

Archie fucking Cullen. I didn’t think it was possible for me to love a Twilight character more than Alice and Rosalie, but Archie man. Omg. (Royal not so much -his name omg I’m dead - because he seems to have Rosalie’s chip but his reasons for it are so ugh compared to hers. Both lost their families and statuses, yes, but Rosalie enduring horrific sexual assault before dying and losing all this on top of that seems more striking than Royal getting jumped. Idk, both are PTSD-inducing moments, but it once again portrays that SM failed to full stop the sexism she’s accused of utilizing. Also Royal was so vague about the details so SM wouldn’t have to think about developing why Royal is such a prick - like he could just be an asshole who thinks Beau is an idiot. That’s fine. I thought Bella was an idiot and sided with Rosalie, bc yeah girl, you want to die for a boy, a terrible, terrible boy at that. Rosalie was right in her logic and gets unfairly shat on for being a bitch. Whatever. I digress.) But Archie is also a double yes. I loved Archie, I want one in my life.

The ending. That was the ending I wanted for Twilight when I first read the saga. Tbh, the way Breaking Dawn ended was too perfect, kinda creepy on many accounts, retconish (Renesme or however the fuck it’s spelled shouldn’t exist, fight me), and frankly, incredibly boring. Too many things worked out for Bella and Edward and while they did have obstacles, their relationship was too happily ever after for my tastes and not really earned because a lot of their obstacles arose from their own stupidity/stubbornness.

The follow up for this new ending could potentially be soooo good and complex because there would be so many new obstacles and stakes to explore with Beau as a (spoiler) vampire in a relationship with a girl he’s madly in love with, but slowly realising exactly what it is he ended up losing to be with her. That is good relationship strife. Plus seeing Beau have a nemesis in Victor (Victoria) would make up for us being deprived of Bella having a single enemy that she went toe-to-toe with rather than her being the target of Edward’s nemesis because that would hurt Edward. Bella was very much side-lined in her own story and didn’t get to grow much in Edward’s presence (she had development just fine when he wasn’t around) until she got pregnant. Beau, with his ending, would not have that. I also want to see more fiercely protective Edythe - I want to see a couple protect each other, not one more powerful partner seclude the other away from the world “for their own good”. The new ending is a good way to provide growth for Edythe’s character as well and completely overturn that “abusive” dynamic. While I’m sad Bella didn’t get Beau’s awesome ending, the author seems satisfied and so were a lot of less critical readers so… *shrugs* Whatever.

Anyway td;lr - Life and Death, while not perfect, is a better story than Twilight with the foundation for a really interesting follow up if the time and thought were put into it.
