Bella and Edward Are (Barely) Two Different People
Fresh from my Midnight Sun rereading, the parallels and similarities between these two just. stood out like a sore thumb. So without further ado, here are the receipts:
Bella being afraid of seeing Edward and Edward being afraid of seeing Bella for an entirely different reason
Edward being disgruntled about Forks and high school and high key thinks he is better than this. Bella being disgruntled about Forks and high school and high key thinks she is better than this.
Both are meh about anyone human. Except Angela. Angela is cool and kind and honest. Ben is too. They’re nice
Rosalie: *exists* Bella and Edward: 😬 🤢 😡 and eventually 🤝
Bella wants to pair Mike and Jessica, tries, and succeeds. Edward wants to pair Angela and Ben, tries, and succeeds. They should open a matchmaking agency methinks
Bella winks. Edward winks. Wink wink
Bella calls Edward her Romeo like the dramatic classic lit nerd she is. Edward calls Bella his Persephone like the dramatic classic lit nerd he is
Edward loves speed, Bella quickly develops a liking for Edward running, motorcycles speed
Tanya and Mike: *exist* Bella and Edward: 😡😭😡😩😡🥺😡
Both go from Debussy to…this? (Linkin Park)
Edward’s favorite color quickly changing to brown and Bella’s quickly changing to topaz. Eye color is clearly a big deal
Bella is mother in a depressingly parentified way. Edward is mother in a Latina mom-coded way
They’re okay-looking at best and ugly at worst…except that most everyone gawks and wants to date them and thinks dirty thoughts about them. But that means nothing, that’s because they’re new to town/an alluring vampire. It’s probably not because people think they’re genuinely hot, lol
Speaking of which, what does Bella see in Edward and Edward see in Bella?! Can they believe that their love would really want to be with them? Isn’t that just amazing? Isn’t that some inscrutable and unfathomable miracle of the universe?!!!
Edward thinks he’s a monster for being a vampire (understandable). Bella thinks she’s a monster for briefly cheating on Edward with Jacob (also understandable). Both should fucking chill
Bella “I’m Switzerland” 🤝 Edward “An obsessed vampire stalker”
Bella has her useful mind shield and Edward his mind reading. It’s like mirrors except the inverse
Bella forgives Edward for everything leaving her dead inside with a figurative gaping hole in her chest. Edward forgives Bella for everything cheating on him with Jacob and just loving Jacob in general. Very forgiving people
Edward is in her books, Bella is in the stars of the night sky. Bella is the girl and Edward is him. If they are together, it is heaven. This is to say, both cannot and do not chill
Edward: “Soft perfection” 🤝 Bella: “Perfect”
Bella cannot function without Edward. Edward cannot function without Bella. Romeo and Juliet quietly prepare a lawsuit. There can be room for only one epic literary het couple fucked over by love and this cursed heteropatriarchal Christofascist life. And it ain’t the vampire and his favorite blood bag

sometimes i genuinely feel like i’m insane when it comes to online media analysis because like. i’ll come out of like the barbie movie or the newest scott pilgrim like “woof, that completely failed at what it was trying to do there, huh” and then i’ll come back on here to people celebrating it as this feminist masterpiece and i’m just left thinking. did we even watch the same thing???

PLOTTING CALL. although this time with more focus on talking about dynamics / maybe setting up some pre-established relationships than actual plotlines .. i feel like plotting for me always tends to revolve around this at first anyway and usually those are the connections with people that end up sticking and not , like , quietly slipping away fkfjfh so here’s me being self indulgent. open to new mutuals and anyone who wants to kick me for forgetting to answer dm’s lmao

Every time I see that picture of Barbie holding Ken’s hand, bringing him to life, and they’re both wearing their very first original beach outfits with the blue watercolor backdrop? I have to take ten minutes to stare at them both and then I get emotional about it bc they mean so much to me and there’s just something about the way Barbie looks at Ken and the way they’re holding hands and the way Ken looks at her. and it's even better in the imax clip when Ken’s breath hitches in his throat and he notices that the person who is his girlfriend is this gorgeous, highly accomplished woman who can do anything and be everything... I always laugh when he does a fist pump and whispers breathlessly yes!
And I can’t help but always picture myself in the middle, both of them holding my hand and each kissing my cheek

You know I try not to think about it too much because honestly I kinda expected that even when he’s the same guy who tried to manage his timeline to reunite and promote with his members… but what makes me angry is that no mention of his members in his letter…

I can’t even imagine living without anxiety. Like. How. What?
#I mean if I woke up tomorrow with a normal amount of anxiety it would be a shocking difference to my daily life. and I am medicated!!! like.#what? am I missing something here?#my mom tells me that meds can only do so much and that they’re really just meant to make it so you can get out of bed every day#but now I’m wondering like is that true or is that my mom is on the wrong dose herself and something could be done to help us both#gahhhhh idk I just feel helpless bc I’m scared of making big changes and the big changes have to make are scary and large and I need a#bulleted list made of things I can do (and break down into very small steps) to actually progress in a positive way in my life instead of#being SO afraid and SO stagnant. it’s been six months since (ptsd diagnosis causing thing) and I don’t feel like I’ve made any progress even#with a therapist. I’m working towards a more intensive program but I feel like it’s almost making me feel more alienated bc I’d have to like#go be surrounded by other mentally ill people and medical people which brings dad dying trauma and like I know I’m running from it bc I’m#afraid to face the changes I need to make and the feelings that are going to come up but fuck man can’t I get some fucking meds that make#this easier to deal with!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! grief and ptsd and long term isolation and anxiety and chronic pain like fuck it’s#so exhausting!!!! I feel like I’m fucking fighting thru life and then from the outside it’s like I’m doing nothing cause I stay in my room#and get stoned and play animal crossing and watch tv and cry and over eat and sometimes I drive around in circles so I can scream sing until#my throat burns and I get a headache and everything finally quiets down in my head for a second. I know I look like I’m doing nothing and#that’s because I am doing nothing but waiting for the next time a mental health professional will talk to me for an hour like it’s so sad#anyways. you ever take a big dab and then start crying and type all of this like it’s an epiphany even tho it’s things you already know.#honestly crying in front of the air conditioner is so slay slight breeze over my face cooling the tears the white noise calming me down

there’s so much i wanna do this week/month/etc but i’m just too sick, i have no energy, i can’t sleep, i’m constantly nauseous and headachey and on the verge of a migraine, i’m stressed and irritable and impatient and panicky…….how tf did i survive nearly 5 years of high school untreated if i can’t even manage this when i don’t have any major obligations rn
#at least i finally got my meds so hopefully i feel a little better soon#although i’m now on 20 pills per day which is Just Great#whenever i’m in remission it’s nice to just. forget sometimes that this can happen at any time#kinda wish i had the typical kinda chronic illness that people talk about with ‘flares’#or at least triggers that i can plan around#the other times have all had an easily identifiable stressor tho tbf. idk what caused this one#the first time was whooping cough and the next few were all very major life stressors like my cat dying right after i started uni#and i think also towards the end of my honours thesis?#but this…….there’s no major stress right now. nothing wildly beyond normal#i’m a little concerned about my joints tho. they’ve been so much worse than normal the last few months#so i’m kinda worried i’m developing rheumatoid arthritis (also an autoimmune disease and it runs in the family specifically)#so if that’s happening then it could set my thyroid off? probably should get to the doctor at some point#obv i’m seeing my endo for thyroid stuff. but i should see my gp and get her to run all the autoimmune blood tests again#i’ve done that before but it’s been a few years and my ankles and knees are so painful i can’t even walk properly a lot of the time#BUT I JUST WANNA DO THINGS I ENJOY AND I CANT AND I WILL CONTINUE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT IT#‘oh you’re so lucky you don’t have as many obligations because you’re chronically ill’ ha ha ha please swap lives with me immediately#personal#but seriously. i wasn’t diagnosed until i was nearly 17 and we can trace it back to whooping cough when i was 12#so it was the last half of year 6 and then all of years 7-10 and the start of year 11 of just being. uh. ‘very lazy and complaining a lot’#and TEACHERS joking about me and my sister (who was dealing with an arguably more severe undiagnosed disease) missing so many classes#wow so funny pdhpe teacher who’s supposed to be teaching is about health#and the thing with being a mentally ill teenager is that hyperthyroidism can just look like a very severe anxiety disorder#so i didn’t go to the dr until i was too sick to go to school at all. and luckily had a good dr who did a blood test#i’m just rambling now because i can’t sleep and i don’t wanna lie here doing nothing#might go play pvz or something. that’s been keeping me entertained

the whole csm discourse on twitter is so dumbbbbb oh my god😭
#like fujimoto writes interesting women … why is that so controversial HXKXHDJDN#i feel like ppl are so used to hating male shounen writers that they can’t stand when a good writer gets complimented 😭#he’s not the father of girlhood or whatever like that’s a p dumb title anyways but the way he writes asa’s character and depicts her#specific girlhood is so cool !! that should be celebrated if anything smh#tbh i kinda wish there would stop being a war between whether shoujo or shounen is better or male or female writers are better#bec both are dynamic and have great and terrible characters + writing#shoujo has a lot of flaws as do female authors but they are different to flaws of shounen and male authors#not to mention men can write for shoujo and women can write for shounen too#shoujo struggles w misogyny too !!!!!#i think it’s more of a societal problem imo#this is a v interesting topic of debate tho i’m sure im missing a lot of nuances but#in the end i think fujimoto is doing a great job and we shouldn’t discredit his successes by saying it’s the bare minimum?#there’s not a linear scale for writing women where 0 is bad and 5 is minimum and 10 is amazing#fujimoto depicts varied women (some written well some not) and his cast of women is so dynamic and interesting and so human !!! i think that#this is something we should see more of! it’s not the bare minimum for me because his characters like quanxi and kobeni and power are so#fulfilling to me#anyone can write amazing and terrible stories regardless of their gender#like their gender definitely influences the type of character they write but i think authors should be seen as a collective instead of#judged upon depending on what gender they are?#many thoughts lol

Not to sound all like “I don’t actually like the canon character” however clone wars Obi-Wan is mmmmm not what I expected. I certainly like him, but he doesn’t capture something that movie obi-wan does.
It could just be the uncanny valley-ness of his design and voice, however sometimes I feel like he’s too sassy. His sass is important but I really do think he’s missing those small moments of gentleness and compassion that made Ewan’s Obi-Wan stick out to me so much.
I like how clone wars digs into how Obi-Wan isn’t always a great person, how he’s loyal to the Jedi to a fault, and is actively aware Something Is Wrong with Anakin but can never bring himself to acknowledge it, as well as his fear that he’s loosing grip of Anakin and doesn’t know how to guide him anymore. 
all of that is so good and true to Obi-Wan, but I feel like his calm Jedi composure isn’t there anymore. This could just be a result of the fact that it’s an animated show and the characters are more animated, but I do miss the way he was just always vibing and the calm cadence he spoke in. he really felt like someone you would call a Jedi master, and while Anakin gets all of his recklessness and smack talk from Obi-Wan, those parts of him are just cranked up to 11.
And like idk. I’m torn. I like a lot of what clone wars does with Obi-Wan, the layers it adds to his character, but sometimes when I watch him I’m like “you’re my boy, but also you’re not”
