I just learned that, much like Loch Ness, there is another lesser known lake in Scotland called Loch Lochy that contains a monster called Lizzie, said to look similar to Nessie, and the fact that they'll never meet and will always believe that they're the only one of their species makes me so sad

Which Cullen finally let it slip to Bella that they'd once had a family meeting re: whether or not to murder her?
Oh, this was totally Emmett. He was like "Woah, things would be so different if we had decided to kill Bella in that meeting." and Bella's like "Y'all had a meeting about possibly killing me?!" and gets all "YOU NICKNAMED MY DAUGHTER AFTER THE LOCH NESS MONSTER" angry. Alice eventually calms her down and is like "Btw, I voted against killing you."

You know it’s so funny, I hate Twilight with a passion, but you wouldn’t know it with how hyped I am to hear that it’s ANIMATED. “Monkey’s paw this, monkey’s paw that”, Girlies, do you even REALIZE the entertainment value we’re about to get? This is like when Supernatural was made into an anime! I’m gonna REVEL in this! I now get to see “YOU NICKNAMED MY DAUGHTER AFTER THE LOCH NESS MONSTER?!” in animated format! This is gonna be amazing. They just need to bring back Rob as Edward and we’re kino
I NEED to see vampire-baseball animated.
I NEED IT!
But, no, while I will never watch any of the original Twilight adaptations again, I will be all over watching the animated adaptation with a glass of...
Oh, wait, I can't drink.
...
With a glass of Martinelli's in hand, baybeeeee..!

Jamie and Roy name their kid ‘Joy’ because they want her to have nothing but happiness in her life and also her name is a constant reminder of how her parents feel about her: which is pride and joy at her experience.
Except then Colin just says one day: “oh, like a mix of both your names? Roy and Jamie? To make ‘Joy’?”
Jan Maas: “yes, like twilight.”
Roy and Jamie: “what? No, that’s not—it’s—wait….oh my god. Oh no. Oh NO. We ‘Renesme’d our child?! how could we do this???”
Beard just calls her ‘Nessie’ in reference to this moment from then on and they never live it down. Ted beams every time Beard calls her that just to ask in mock horror, “You nicknamed their daughter after the Loch Ness monster?!”
It’s a horrible in-joke that they will never live down but it does bring a lot of amusement and, dare I say, a lot of Joy. 😈
jamie is also 100% aware that they renesmee'd their baby btw 🙏🏼 he grew up in prime twilight time his year 10 girlfriend made him watch all of them. he gets it. he's one of the twilight girlies. he's like roy be honest do you watch me sleep. are you obsessed with me. would you make rebecca kill you for football crimes if you thought i died.

same anon as before…
i love twilight!!! i grew up in the same era but i’m a fan of “reading the books first” so when i finally decided it was time to finally give it a try, i did that. the plot twist when i finally watched the movies gagged me cause that was 100% not in the books!! i knew it was coming but still…
i mean i know twilight has its…more interesting parts (😝bella where the hell have you been loca😝) (👹YOU NICKNAMED MY DAUGHTER AFTER THE LOCH NESS MONSTER👹) but i just think of those as funny little quirks😭
i usually try to read the books first but i was so convinced that i wasn't gonna enjoy twilight and i had so little reading time in the first place that i didn't wanna use it for that </3 maybe someday i will read the books though! and yes omg gagged indeed

Robbie Coltrane, the Scottish actor and comedian would have been 73 today.
When the people you have grown up admiring and laughing at pass away it makes you think about your own mortality, ut also leaves a hole in life, Robbie for me was a tremendous man, going from stand up comic, to respected actor during his life, he was a very funny and genuine guy.
Born as Anthony Robert McMillan on March 30th, 1950 in Rutherglen, Robbie was educated at Glenalmond College, an independent school in Perthshire, from which he was nearly expelled after hanging the prefects’ gowns from the school clocktower. Though he later described his experiences there as deeply unhappy, he played for the rugby First XV, was head of the school’s debating society he also won prizes for his art.
From Glenalmond, Coltrane went on to Glasgow School of Art, where he was ridiculed for “having an accent like Prince Charles” (of which he quickly disposed, though not before gaining the nickname “Lord Fauntleroy”), and thereafter the Moray House College of Education (part of the University of Edinburgh) in Edinburgh.
In the early 70’s Robbie took the name Coltrane, due to his love of jazz musician John Coltrane, and began a career of a stand-up comedian at night clubs, at the Edinburgh Festival, as well as an actor with Edinburgh’s renowned Traverse Theatre.
After picking up a few bit parts in films and TV series I first remember Robbie appearing in the BBC Scotland comedy sketch series A kick up the Eighties, as seen in the clips below
Robbie then went to appear in The Comic Strip Presents films during the 80’s The Supergrass and The Pope Must Die being the most successful. At that time Coltrane had a drinking problem, downing as much as a bottle of whisky a day. In 1986 he flew to a clinic in Mexico and was treated for obesity. In 1987 his partner for 15 years, Robin Paine, left him for good. A year later he met Rhona Gemmell in a pub. They married and had a son, Spencer, and a daughter, Alice. His career took off during the early 1990s with the leading role as Dr. Eddie “Fitz” Fitzgerald, a forensic psychologist, in the popular TV series Cracker.
Coltrane is one of only a few to have played “baddies” in two Bond films, playing Russian mafia man Valentin Dmitrovich Zukovsky in GoldenEye and The World Is Not Enough. He went on to play Rubeus Hagrid in seven Harry Potter films.
Robbie has also featured in factual TV series, Coltrane’s Planes and Automobiles, as well as a host of other TV series, none of which, surprisingly are Taggart! He was voted No. 11 in ITV’s TV’s 50 Greatest Stars and sixth in a poll of 2000 adults across the UK to find the ‘most famous Scot’, behind the Loch Ness Monster, Robert Burns, Sean Connery, Robert the Bruce and William Wallace.
Robbie picked his appearances carefully after he had undergone surgery on a replacement knee after suffering from chronic pain for years. He lost over 7 stone after in 2016 after doctors warned him not slimming down could leave him a “cripple”. Robbie spent his final years in “constant pain” after his knee cartilage disintegrated. He told the Daily Express in one of his last interviews in 2020:
“I was fighting pain 24 hours a day when I was in ‘National Treasure’ and ‘Great Expectations I had no cartilage in my knee. It was bone on bone.”, he found some relief after receiving joint surgery in America.
n 2020: “I was fighting pain 24 hours a day when I was in ‘National Treasure’ and ‘Great Expectations’. He added at the time: “It was just horrible. The relief from that pain since the operation and being able to sleep has changed my life.” Going on to say he wouldn’t wish such pain "on [his] worst enemy,"
Robbie passed away on October 14th 2022, he had become a virtual recluse, living a a rented converted barn near Stirling, living off takeaways from a local Chinese. Coltrane was cremated and his family spread his ashes around several of his favourite places around Manhattan, New York.
His death certificate shows that the actor died from a string of conditions including multiple organ failure, the causes of death given were sepsis, where an infection triggers an extreme reaction throughout the body, lower respiratory tract infection and heart block.
