there is no reason the twilight soundtrack needed to hit that hard, like in the year of our lord 2023 i will still blast that shit. the number of artists that worked on it???? insane

anyway back to streaming 'possibility' by lykke li for the 138493th time

Not the song lyrics "you set my soul alight" playing while Rosalie stares down Bella.

That's so sapphic.

The whole rest of the Cullen family when Alice and Bella left to go get Edward in New Moon…

obviously edward writers don't have to stick to this if they don't want to, but i think generally just with writing bella, i'm changing ravioli's name to maria after bella's grandma marie. if maria was a boy, they would've named him masen ( or mason ) for edward's original surname before he changed it. ik main characters naming their kids stupid things was a trend of major franchises in the 2000s/2010s ( cough hp cough ) i just. don't like it. so yea, roundabout's name is gonna be maria.

“i want to tell you. but i don’t want you to see me differently.” (from Brayden West to Bella Swan) // i hope it's okay ♥

"Is it the abs? I mean I noticed that was different about you." She joked, before giving him a soft smile. "Whatever it is you want to tell me, its never going to make me see you differently. I promise."

I wonder what would have happened if Bella had tried shielding Volturi guard members from Chelsea's influence. Say felix and demitri for instance.

I know Chelsea has a cumulative effect but does that apply to a shield like Bella's?

@everythingheard (enzo) continued from x

no, bella supposes not all vampires do have the best manners, her dark hues scrunching up as she peers for anything in reach through the bars, enzo's words finally processing when her gaze comes up empty. she's seen what so called ripper vampires could do. she's seen what vampires who held control and chose not to utilize it could do. and, she's seen what vampires who did have control enough to be a doctor could do. though, perhaps, that vampire did have rather impeccable manners. strangely enough, if bella was going to miss any of that family, she thinks perhaps she misses that vampire most. or in the least, harbors the least upsetting feelings toward him because he had always been kind and even welcoming to her but he had also always been assuredly honest with her when she'd asked him things, even things edward or alice would usually skirt around. she was also pretty sure he wouldn't have approved of the whole leaving her to get lost in the middle of a massive forest thing.

he was edward's father too, in every way that mattered, and she didn't blame the man for following what seemed to be what his son wanted, to leave. and, despite the struggle she imagined befell him every time he went into the hospital, he strove forward to help others. carlisle was a hard man to hate or even feel ill will toward. she'd enjoyed their talks even if she didn't agree with some of his views. she rather thinks what'd happened with jasper was a point in favor of her argument on refraining from human blood (that could be gotten in a safe and unharming manner) wasn't doing anyone favors in relation to maintaining control. then again, she wasn't a vampire so what did she know? in any case, that man's family had been an anomaly and the majority of vampires she came across lately, present company exempted, lacked any form of manners. strange the tangents she allowed her mind to wander onto when her nerves were playing upon her at the notion of what she'd offered a moment prior. she'd never been bitten when she was willing, would it feel different than when it was forced?

enzo's next words bring her mind back in focus, throwing her for a loop. alright then, maybe feeding was off the table, at least until the bullet was out. "that's not surprising. i doubt he'd hit a bullseye on a dartboard." perhaps the comment is unkind toward maxfield, however, she didn't really care and well, if she was going to hate anyone other than victoria, maxfield was a prime candidate. she'd broken a pencil in half that one time he'd been spouting his hate and she'd had to sit there and pretend she agreed with him. she wasn't an inherently violent person under normal circumstances but a part of her had really wanted to shove it into his eye. "that makes sense. i really should have thought about that though, the healing around the bullet thing." a pause and then she speaks again. "i think we are well past the just met stage, after all, i did attempt to jailbreak you and now we're locked in a cell together." an attempt to bring some levity to the situation, if only to calm herself. "ask me again next time you get shot and i'll give it a go." she watches for a moment, seeing him lean against the wall and begin to pick at the wound. that's when she has to look away for even if she has conquered some of her aversion to blood that was too much.

frankly, she'd been more concerned with taking down vampires than how they healed lately. at least in respect to those victoria sent calling upon her and the campus. she turns around a moment later once she's fairly certain the bullet is out, and it was, though his wound seemed to fail to heal causing a frown to cross her features. so she wasn't completely wrong then. he would need to feed. as if he read her mind, his next words reveal as much, her dark hues meeting his and her heartbeat quickening. she had meant what she said, though her earlier ponderings also still apply. she isn't sure what to expect from a bite like this though she does, however much her father would have her head for such reckless faith, believe enzo won't actually harm her in any real way. he just needed to feed to heal. he wouldn't kill her.

"i did-- i do mean it. i want you to heal." bella states, a breath inhaling before she lets it out, allowing her feet to propel her a few steps toward him and giving him her hand. was he going to feed on her arm then and not her neck? was that how this was going to work? "i, um, where are you going to--" suddenly she feels more awkward than nervous, shifting her weight. "is it going to feel different because i'm giving you it willingly?" different than it did when she'd been bitten by james, she wonders and she thinks maybe he can infer from her previous statement. bella can't help her curiosity even if she knows she's going to find out in a few seconds anyway. "i won't change my mind either way. take what you need." and there was that trust again, the implications clear: she trusted he'd take what he needed to heal but not so much that it'd actually harm or hinder her. why did she trust him? bella wasn't sure, but she did trust him all the same.

"Are you sure you're gonna be okay on your own?" - @alyafae (Charlie) sent a MEME

"---- Come on dad. I won't be entirely on my own." She's fairly certain that no one is anticipating this wedding less than she is, until she has a conversation about it with her father. Charlie wasn't exactly thrilled by her choice of groom, or her choice to get married at eighteen. It might make him happy to know she isn't really thrilled by the idea of marriage either, but it would take explaining the whole 'immortal bonds' and 'Edward's from the 1920's and is too old fashioned to wait', among other things, for her to explain it. It's just easier to stick on the same 'I love him' (which is true) and 'I want to be with him forever' (also true) 'so why should we wait to get married' (because it's a huge societal scandal).

"And I'll visit." Eventually, maybe, if she doesn't turn out to be a bloodthirsty savage. "Besides, do you think Esme and Carlisle will let Edward get too far away either? School break will be here before you know it, and we'll come back after the honeymoon." At the undisclosed location. But the wedding is tomorrow, so she's already 'said goodbye' to Edward for the time being (the window is already unlocked, she knows he'll be by tonight), so keeping Charlie's anxieties assuaged is her task until bedtime at least. And her own. "
