I see a sudden influx in weddings happening in Wonderland 👀
Can I be the cute critter that brings the rings during the ceremonies? Or yeeting flouwer petals everywhere?
I'm not looking to wed someone myself. Just here for the cake.
It is quite the wedding season in Wonderland indeed! One that'll make history in the form of strange statistics and a boom in the jewellery industry. (I hope those diamonds are ethically sourced... Or we might have dimension-hopping rock people on our hands, if you know what I mean...)
I'm sure the wedding organisers will need as much help as they can get and your assistance will be verrry much appreciated! Presenting rings, yeeting flowers and eating some cake. Sounds like a wonderful (heh) experience~!

Okay, now that I think about it, why is the sparkling the thing people are most hung up about regarding Twilight Vampires?
Its actually a pretty cool concept. Their cells being crystalline and thus refracting light is fun and interesting.
Shiny vampires are great!
Everyone saying it isn't "traditional" or "manly" seem ignorant of the fact that vampires are fictional.
(I don't quite understand why they aren't a bit shiny in artificial light as well tho, since a light source is a light source, even if the sun is stronger. They should be at least a little shiny.)
The author, mormonism and all that comes with it aside, came up with some pretty creative ideas.

Hey! @sonyawix
This is an interesting take and I had to consult with the Holder of the Jalice Braincells (@volturialice) to really break this down.
It sounds like the author of that take is kind of more interested in perfect, idealized relationships and might not be a fan of Alice, honestly. Plus SMeyer made a lot of the relationship dynamics in canon a really odd thing - we see all three Cullen relationships as very one-dimensional because of the relationship triptych I've ranted about before.
Because of Alice's backstory and her gift, we know that she's going to be a bit of a weirdo. She's essentially bet everything she has that the pictures in her brain are a path to happiness, that Jasper will make her happy. She has no reference point to interpersonal relationships beyond her visions, she has no memories of humanity; we really aren't shown exactly what level she was functioning at when she woke up. Those 28 missing years would be fascinating in how she built herself into a functional individual, honestly.
She bets everything on Jasper, and I think that shows what an optimistic, determined person she is. She could have gone to the Cullens straight away and probably would have been welcomed warmly - there's nothing in canon indicating that wasn't an option. But for whatever reason, Alice commits to waiting for Jasper. That's loyalty and dedication and love.
Just because their meeting was fated/planned doesn't mean it isn't meaningful.
So Alice seeing Jasper for all those years is not going to necessarily match up with him in real life. It's one thing to know a person has trauma, it's entirely another to meet that traumatized, depressed person. It's one thing to get the greatest hits of the relationship pumped straight into the brain, it's another to have all those small moments, those in-between times.
We know from Jasper's time with Maria that he tends to deify the women he's involved with. He put both Maria and Alice on a pedestal. That's just how he loves and commits - fully and totally. His 'hyperfocus' on Alice is a sign of how much he loves and treasures her. I honestly don't think it would have mattered how or when they met, Jasper would have treated her the same - the most precious thing he has.
We also know that Jasper has spent the best part of one hundred years in a high-stress environment where nothing was guaranteed. He didn't trust Maria at the end. So being introduced to someone who could tell him which path would be safe? Where there was no risk or fighting? I think that would be an incredible support for Jasper. I imagine in the early days, he'd probably ask Alice to check the future more than necessary because of his PTSD. And I can imagine Alice checking every time he asked, and going over all the details with love and patience.
And we know that Jasper does go against her wishes - he disagreed with her decision to return to Forks when Alice thought she had died, and Alice went alone (side note, if Jasper had gone with her, there was an opportunity for a lot of Eclipse set up right there.)
As for dehumanizing all her relationships, Alice is very distinctively trying to help throughout the series. It might be over the top, and it might not go to plan, but all of her visions and guidance are meant to help the people she loves. Alice has never known life without her sixth sense, so of course she uses it like we use our five senses. Does it give her a God-complex? Yes. Do I think it's meant to be more of a nod to Meyer's insistence on calling her a 'pixie' and utilizing fae imagery since fairies in lore are supported to love helping? Absolutely.
I think it's pretty disingenuous to say that people are 'ideas' to Alice when she was changed and abandoned. It's more likely that Alice is more intensely aware of what makes them happy so that they all stay together and she's not left alone again. If she didn't see people as people, but as chess pieces, then she wouldn't have go to see Charlie when she thought Bella was dead; she wouldn't have gone to Volterra to save Edward; she wouldn't have taken Jasper with her to find the hybrid.
So yeah, I disagree pretty strongly with this because it feels more like a way to minimize and dismiss Alice and her relationship with Jasper. But this is just my take on the character, and I'm sure there are dozens of different readings and interpretations out there!

BWAHAHAHAHA another ingo-looking mf for nobori to deal with XD
stolen!ingo is and will be a one-man army if he sees those diamonds are unethically sourced better watch out and check your local jewelers for any possible sentience in those precious rocks!
My condolences to Nobori for needing to deal with not only one, but multiple counterparts.
stolen!Ingo is indeed a force of nature and should not be provoked. There needs to be some kind of warning signal for him... (・ω・;)
Better perform those sentience checks!
"...Everybody smile! Check sentience. Everything's ready! Aim for victory! All aboard!" XDDD

Skyriv + One finds he has curious reactions to hearing the other moan (innocently)
Let’s just say I applied a very loose interpretation to the word ‘innocently’ and that Sky’s eyes here tell us everything we need them to
“So he is able to leave our room,” Riven says flippantly, lips curling into a smirk as Sky approaches his table in the canteen. “Was starting to worry you’d been turning it into the Otherworld’s largest coffin.”
Flipping him off, Sky drops into the seat across from Riven, setting down the apple he’d chosen over Doris’ best efforts to serve him his favorite.
“I’m not,” he mutters, already regretting his decision to leave bed.
Riven closes his eyes to savor his bite of food. Sky had forgotten his favorite is also Riven’s favorite. “Maybe not, but you are going to turn into a corpse if you don’t start eating more than that,” Riven warns, gaze narrowing on the fruit between his hands.
Sky shakes head, watching Riven’s tongue flick to the corner of his lips as he takes another bite. “Not hungry.”
What Doris or Riven don’t know, he thinks as he spins the apple on the table, is that he finds himself starving for only one thing.
And she’s gone.
The peace he felt with her is gone. The purpose he found with her is gone. The warmth and intimacy that kept his chest filled, gone.
The sound of Riven’s satisfied sigh after another bite makes his eyes flick up. “She made our favorite, mate. At least take one bite,” Riven encourages.
Lifting the food to his mouth, a low moan rumbles from Riven’s throat. So quiet that, had they had been here during the dinner rush, Sky would’ve never heard it.
But he does hear it. And suddenly, he regrets not waiting for dinner rush because there’s something about the sound that shoots straight to his core.
It’s the sound of fullness, of satisfaction.
Riven looks up, gaze catching Sky’s as he speaks in a coaxing voice, “C’mon, you know how good it is.”
Sky quickly looks down at his apple, attempting to anchor himself, to swim away from his growing stiffness. Only, all he can seem to remember are those rumors he’d heard last year. The gossips’ whispers of shared bites and breaths through shared apples and—
Sky surges from his seat and speeds out of the canteen, a lone apple left abandoned on the table with a confused Riven.
______________
Loss makes people do things they would otherwise never consider.
Sky tells himself this over and over again, but it doesn’t stop him from listening to the old pipes squelch and scream as Riven showers on the other side of his wall.
He could afford Riven the privacy if he wanted to. Listen to music, leave the room. He’d done it so many times when the walls of their shared room felt like they were shrinking around him.
But that’s the thing about loss: it leaves you empty. Hungry. A gluttonous king turned into a starving beggar. And something in Sky’s chest had been clawing at him to fill the hollowness she’d left there for weeks. Months. To satisfy the craving.
Up until this point, he’d labeled his previous lapses in judgment as an adrenaline-fueled night a few weeks ago. In his mind, their one-time thing is summarized by one bold word, whispered over and over in his own voice: Mistake.
So the occasional knock of something against the shower wall, the echo of panted grunts, and the sound of those familiar low moans sketch pictures in his mind that Sky will never admit to seeing.
But that doesn’t stop him from closing his eyes and remembering.
Greedy, grasping hands. Heated breaths against skin. Synchronized groans and the rasped sound of his own name in his ear.
Any measure of relief to be found has gone from tempting to necessary. As vital as air, water, sustenance.
Besides, only he would know. A victimless crime, he reasons.
His imagination reignites his senses, and there’s no point in lying to himself when he slips his hand under the waistband of his briefs and makes quick work of timing his moans with Riven’s.
