Discussion of Edward wanting to murder his class: 54:10—end
[00:03:56] Damn Shannon I don’t recall burning YOUR crops poisoning your well razing your house to the ground and salting the earth
[00:06:16]
[00:06:20] Read Lexie’s fic here!
[00:07:28] Lexie’s social media handles: AO3, fanfiction.net, tumblr
[00:08:06] Ashley Greene’s NFT. (Ashley Greene is the actor who played Alice in the Twilight movies, for anyone not in the know. Also note that we recorded this episode in April, shortly before the great NFT crash)
[00:11:16] Transcript of Shannon’s Life and Death summary:
Beaufort Swan “Beau” moves from Phoenix, Arizona to a small town called Forks, Washington to live with his father, Charlie, after his mother, Renee, gets remarried. He is decidedly not fucking happy about it and is loathe to be in Forks despite taking it upon himself to lie to absolutely anybody who asks him about it (ever the martyr.) While there, he struggles with the inadequate experience of what we know is called “being a goddamn teenager.” He crosses paths with a mysterious and not-cognito family, and when he quote-unquote “meets” his new Biology partner, he suddenly has more questions about Edythe and her strange but sudden hatred of him.
[00:13:30] The top Kristen Stewart’s Bella is wearing in the very first scene of Twilight:
[00:15:09] Wikipedia’s basic breakdown of economic info on the real-world Forks, WA
[00:18:59] Bella on her reading list in Twilight:
It was fairly basic: Bronte, Shakespeare, Chaucer, Faulkner.
[00:20:36] The “canonical” heights for Jasper and Emmett, respectively: 6’3”/190.5 cm and 6’5”/195.6 cm
[00:30:10] Scroll to the bottom of this old blog post to see Stephenie Meyer’s original fancasts for Twilight characters (She had Jackson Rathbone as an Edward possibility?? oh my god)
[00:30:41] Some old, pre-movie era edits of Emily Browning as Bella:

[00:31:02] Shannon is metaphorically on crack here. Gerard Way was actually who the fans wanted to play Edward, though Stephenie Meyer is an MCR fan and says their music inspired her when writing Jacob’s character (source.)
[00:31:21] Henry Cavill in gold contacts, looking about as unlike Edward Cullen as a white dude can look:
[00:34:18] Anyone else notice that Shannon says “Rosalie” super weird? She also says “pillow” weird. Ask her to say it sometime.
[00:39:36] The SPLC’s timeline on skinheads (cw: racism, xenophobia, antisemitism, injury, murder)
[00:42:27] A blog post on the Tiffany Problem
[00:48:44] Advice for Edward:
[00:52:13] Fanlore’s definition of “fanon”
[00:54:24] Fanlore’s article on AUs
[00:54:34] The filmmakers even shot this as a deleted scene! And you are not prepared for the sheer brilliance of this 2009 Youtube DVD rip set to an A+ song choice (sound ON and pay particular attention to the background actors)
[00:56:19] In this most iconic scene from the first Twilight movie, Bella walks into the forest with Edward (without being asked) to confront him about his vampirism
[00:56:28] Renesmee, for anyone not in the know.
[00:58:27] Alice walking into the Bio classroom after Edward’s finished snacking
[00:58:47] G references the Trolley Problem from philosophy/ethics
...and that’s all we’ve got for Episode 1 show notes! We hope you enjoyed this Happy Birthday Edward edition of 3B1P!

— ( minka kelly, female, she/her) i’m certain i just spotted calliope leons out in town. the twenty-six year old human has lived in forks for one year and currently works as a bartender. they’ve been known to be very friendly and understanding, but also happen to be quite basic and clumsy. and currently they are not aware of supernatural creatures.
Full Name: Calliope Leons
Species: Human
Orientation: Pansexual, Panromantic
Current Location: Forks WA
Birthplace: London, England
Birthday: June 3rd
Calliope moved from London to New York when she was twenty years old chasing a career opportunity. She had dual citizenship, with family in both countries.
Callie first arrived in Forks a year ago and at the time it was a big deal. She was a bartender who was quick to make waves with local barflies, but was rather mysterious.
She came fleeing her abusive fiance, who she had been with for half a decade. He was close to beat her to death one night, and so she ran like hell.
After settling in Forks, she filed a restraining order against her ex and put down roots in Forks. She hasn’t heard back from him, thankfully.
Before her relationship with Gerard she had an exciting and fiery personality she was proud of, with a strong aesthetic of confidence. He chipped her down, but Forks has been a place to be reborn.
She doesn’t know anything about vampires or the supernatural world but she doesn’t mind the view. Pretty people are pretty people.
There isn’t too much secret depth to Callie. She enjoys socializing, she enjoys smiling, she enjoys making people happy. That’s all.
Well there is at least a secret; Gerard is in the freezer in the basement. One night, he came to her place. All her money had been poured into the bar, so she slept in the basement. She was forced to kill him. Now, he’s wrapped in trash bags and she has no idea what to do about it.

Hello
I decided to start a blog, so that anyone who is interested can stay up to date as to what is happening in my life, as well as perhaps finding other people who have similar interests.
Here are some facts about me:
I am 23 years old, I go by many names on the internet but you can call me "g"
Last year I graduated with a degree in computer science but I don't really like tech at all anymore
I currently work in computer security consulting but I kind of hate it and will probably quit soon
My favorite bands are My Chemical Romance and pre-hiatus Fall Out Boy. I also love Taking Back Sunday, Hawthorne Heights, early The Used (the first two albums are my favorite), and the solo work of Frank Iero and Gerard Way.
I am learning guitar. After much effort, I somehow managed to procure a Epiphone Phantomatic (Frank Iero's signature model). I also own a Pete Wentz signature bass but right now I am focusing on guitar.
I live in Seattle, I have a room in an apartment there but I don't really like having a roommate that I do not know well so I crash at my family's house a lot.
I think this is going to be an interesting and eventful year. I am planning to attend the MCR reunion tour. I have a ticket for Riot Fest and also a pit ticket for Tacoma, WA which I probably paid too much for.
I also want to quit my job soon and find a place to live that I would feel more comfortable in. It would be nice to finally have my own car as well. I hope to improve at guitar and start or join a post hardcore or pop punk band that writes original songs. I think it would also be cool to learn how to do dirty (screaming) vocals. Realistically, I probably won't do most of those things but I suppose it is good to set goals.
I would be down to chat with other people who enjoy the same music and bands. Also, feel free to ask me anything.
