the funniest parts of midnight sun

with spoilers obviously

  • when Edward first smells Bella it takes him two pages of inner monologue before he thinks of holding his breath
  • apparently vampires can run so fast they don’t leave footprints in snow just like LotR elves and this is physics nonsense
  • Edward listening to a CD of “violent music”
  • “a word I’d never said before in the presence of a lady” ajlskdflj
  • Alice to Jasper: “I know you love me. Thanks.”
  • “And then my conscience smote me.”
  • “She was offended by my teasing. I must have done it wrong again.”
  • the “dazzling” moments from the original book are Edward fruitlessly trying to frighten people by baring his teeth I can’t deal
  • when Bella points this out he thinks “I’m losing my edge”
  • Edward worries about whether Bella thinks he’s pretty
  • Bella wears a shirt “cut low enough to reveal her collarbones” 
  • Edward literally thinks the sparkling will horrify and disgust her
  • “I avoided the word ‘sex’ because she did” OH GROW UP
  • “It was enlightening and alluring to watch her in her element” IS THE INTRODUCTION TO A PARAGRAPH OF HER MAKING CHEERIOS
  • the book. includes. a car chase.
  • during the car chase they knock off the side mirrors and EMMETT AND JASPER LOOK OUT THE WINDOWS SO EDWARD CAN READ THEIR MINDS AS REPLACEMENT SIDE MIRRORS this isn’t stated in the book but I like to imagine they stuck their heads all the way out like happy dogs

the unparalleled comedy of bella waking up in the middle of the night, getting a glass of water, coming back to bed and not noticing edward crouched in the corner of her room trying not to be seen 

If Smeyer was so desperate to have Rosalie and Jasper portrayed (to Forks) as Twins, why didn’t she just make them actual twins? You can have mostly the same storylines for both of them with a few minor changes.

Like, for example;;

Rosalie Lillian and Jasper Whitlock* Hale

Twin Son and Daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Hale, born in 1915 in Rochester, New York.

Living during the Great Depression, they’re father’s family managed to stay afloat due to their father’s job at the local bank.

Rosalie Lillian, the beautifully stunning violet-eyed blonde bombshell beauty of the family, remains the self-involved little girl who is in love with the idea of love and manages to find herself a match in Piece-of-Shit Royce King II, the son of the owner of the Bank her father worked at. She is turned by Carlisle Cullen after being assaulted by her shitdick of a Fiancée and his dickwaffle friends. Rosalie took her revenge over the next while of her vampiric life. Later, in 1935, Rosalie found, saved, and fell in love with Emmett McCarty after he was mauled by a bear.

Jasper Whitlock, the stunning blue-eyed honey-blonde badass of the family, was originally drafted into World War II until some very specific strings were pulled and he was sent home after the sudden, horrible loss of his twin sister. He later left Rochester to go to Texas to help his mother’s family during the Great Depression - with work and other things. He suddenly disappeared within two weeks of being in Texas, he was turned by the vampire Maria who required him for her Southern Vampire Army. Later, in 1948, he found and fell for Mary Alice Brandon - more well known as Alice.

Rosalie and Jasper Hale were reunited in 1950 when Alice brought Jasper with her to join the Cullen Family.**

*- Jasper’s middle name comes from their mother’s maiden name

**- In this headcanon, Alice couldn’t foresee Jasper and Rosalie being twins because she was still trying to get ahold on her abilities at the time, all she knew was they would ‘form’ a very close incredibly protective bond.

GODDAMN IT THIS FANDOM IS MADE UP OF GENIUSES 

Ok ok ok but just for a second imagine what their reunion would be like

  • Jasper rolls up to the Cullen house pretty apprehensive about the whole thing bc his past experiences with other vampires weren’t great
  • The Cullens gather outside and Alice starts excitedly greeting them all by name, oblivious to Rosalie locking eyes with Jasper the moment she sees him
  • “Hi Carlisle, hi Esme, hi-” Jasper, absolutely stunned: “RosALIE????”
  • All the others are like ??? as Rose just propels herself into his arms sobbing “Jazz” into his shoulder
  • This would work like so wel with Rosalie’s character in general because she misses her human life, right, so she now has an eternal connection to that life to always keep with her to soften the pain a little, and whenever she’s sad she and Jasper gossip about the people who lived in their town
  • They return to Rochester one day just the two of them and walk around quietly, remembering the life they once had here, pointing at street corners where important events happened and places that housed their favorite stores
  • In conclusion I love this and I’m also crying

reunion energy

bella talks about how she‘s always felt out of place in the world but in new moon there’s a scene that really hits me. quil and embry come in to see jake and they joke around then jake starts wrestling with quil and embry walks over to bella saying “I’ve got five bucks on quil” and she smiles and says “you’re on.” and you can just see how comfortable and relaxed she feels like she fits right in with jake’s friend group and I just

Because they’re actually fucking teenagers like her and they don’t expect her to take complete care of them like her parents and they aren’t massively overpowered in intelligence/money/experience like the Cullens

How the fuck am I just hearing about THIS

?????

And it was released BETWEEN TWILIGHT MOVIES LMAO

"IN THE TWILIGHT OF THEIR YOUTH"

someone tell me where I can watch this please

Ok I just looked it up and it’s on Tubi (which is free!)

Please keep us posted on whether it’s the good or the bad kind of cringe

10/10 one of the best parts of midnight sun is edward being pissed off about renee’s selfishness/tendency to make bella feel like a burden VS edward feeling emo about how deeply charlie worries about/loves bella. FURTHER SUPPORTING MY BELIEF THAT CHARLIE SHOULD HAVE RAISED BELLA; IN THIS ESSAY I WILL-

When edward called Renee a narcissist my heart soared
