      @@user-jy9rq8nj7q it's not a misconception, since they state it'll be friendly and brotherly until the Imprintee is of age, then it'll turn into romantic.
      So that's basically grooming someone into becoming your partner when it's no longer 'technically illegal', which is absolutely immoral and definitely has pedophilic implications if that's the sole reason for 'waiting'

    I'd actually say that's why he has more difficulty then everyone else, vampires are always feeling bloodlust around humans, even if they are ignoring it, so in school and such Jasper is not only feeling his own but also his 'siblings' bloodlust too.

    Okay, okay, lemme make a chart here.
    Alice:
    --Is always supportive of Bella
    --Does her best to make her feel welcome.
    --Makes sure she's up to speed with vampire stuff
    --Was worried enough about her to come back to Forks and check on her.
    --Is generally just a nice, warm person.
    Edward:
    --Constantly makes Bella doubt herself.
    --Tries to push her away for the sake of "protecting" her, which only causes her to need him more to the point where she falls into a suicidal depression.
    --Always hides things things from Bella or flat out lies to her.
    --Couldn't give a shit about how she's doing until he finds out she's dead, at which point he ops to kill himself, making the situation 1000 times more damaging for her.
    --Is generally cold, emotionally distant, and creepily overprotective.
    Jacob:
    --Um...... he takes his shirt off sometimes?
    One of these is a healthy relationship that would have made for a fun romance. Guess which one it is.

    Something I like about the book is that Bella wasn't just depressed bc she misses Edward, she has lost the people who truly new her. Bella has such high anxiety she struggles to let people in and the only people she let in have just left. To a teenager with already existing anxiety, depression and probably has PTSD from James it'll be really hard. But a lot of this was heavily dramatized.

      I think to a degree this was his natural character arc.
      The book hammers the point that young werewolves are immature and volatile because they have trouble keeping their anger in check. So you can't entire fault the books for portraying Jacob, a young werewolf, as immature and volatile because he has trouble keeping his anger in check.

      To be fair, among those who are heteros, the strongest same sex relationships often would end up being the ones that turn romantic, IF they batted for the other team. The ones that know each other intimately, without you know, the intimacy. But for those who don't quite fit that bill, they can still get close enough in a relationship, to the point where many people tend to want them to hook up if they like them, or imagine them being attracted to one another. I've tended to see this sort of thing from watching the opinions on certain IRL people's lives. And it's dumb to me. People seem to want people to be X, and people on both sides of that divide seem to do it without realizing it, by projecting feelings.

An alleged modeling agent approached Lauren in a mall in Victoria, B.C., and told her she was a natural model. Lauren ate it up. The agent told her that if she did something edgy with her hair, and took some high quality head shots, her future was assured. Lauren followed the instructions-dropping fifteen grand on the pictures taken by the agent’s partner-and waited for her career to begin. She’s still waiting."

    I NEED a 30 min long video of you just losing over Alice/Bella, and give us all the fic recs. 🤩 this was so funny, and same.
    Oh, and I remember my exact reaction to the time passing scene (in the book). I was already quietly crying and pissed off at Edward, but then the month page came and I kept flipping the pages and my desperation kept growing. I started *bawling*. Oh, yes, I was also in the train, and people looked at me kinda worried. Yes, sometimes I'm very dramatic, but I was fully immersed in the story, ok?????

      @eveelima1 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Those pages crushed me so badly I couldn't believe the time skip cause I couldn't believe Edward was going to stay away for that long. I had to go through the rest of the book to find out if he was coming back soon, I couldn't help myself.
      And then was even more crushed when I realized he was gone for most of the book, I felt a lot like Bella did and God if that wasn't the most inserted I've ever felt while reading a book.
      Up until this day I like new moon the less just because it was ACTUALLY painful to read through that, I felt it all!

    We Know now from Midnight Sun that Edward knew from Alice's visions (the church scene while bella's sleeping in the hospital after the James attack) that Bella would Not Be Okay if Edward left. And he decided that he would anyway! He'd decided this without telling her anything or taking her opinions into account ever since James and even before prom. Like. Edward sucks dude. He knew what would happen and ignored it, like an ass

    I think it's always glossed over that Bella turns 18 in this book and Jacob is SIXTEEN! Not to mention that once he phases into a werewolf, he stops aging, or ages super slowly (can't fully remember). Why is this not brought up more considering the other weird and concerning romantic dynamics happening??

    • @jessicadangerfield1539
      @jessicadangerfield1539 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      This! Like, he rapidly ages to roughly 25 physically but mentally is still technically 16?! And she’s 18…. Then at 17ish he imprints on her newborn. This weird age dynamic absolutely needs more analysis than it gets, because physically he’s too old for Bella while mentally and legally too young then is too old in both departments for her daughter even though when she’s legally/chronologically seven she’ll be mentally and physically about 18… and if Jake is mentally frozen at 16 like is subtly hinted at we get this weird twist all over again.
      What Stephenie was thinking I’ll never know, because nearly none of the age dynamics are healthy but at least with the way she writes her vampires the vampire ones make some sense.

      Sometimes it takes time... I didn't have a serious boyfriend until I was in my 20s. I wasn't even ready for it then and we broke up(although I had wanted a relationship since I was like...12). Now, 10 years later, we found each other again and have been together for a few years now. Sometimes it's a long strange path, but if it's what you want is usually worth the wait.(I see you aromantics! I've been so jealous of y'all sometimes, you have no idea!)
      And yeah, although it turned out okay, that first break up could have ruined any possible future because I just wasn't as ready as I thought I was.
      My best advice? Make really great friends. Not only is it good for you and you'll have fun and emotional support on your journey... But hey, sometimes they might end up being more OR they might know someone who knows someone's hot single cousin or something. Either way, it's win/win!
      (Also, covid has sucked the fun out of dating, period. You're either torn away from your SO due to covid or you're cramped together TOO much and start to get sick of each other. So yeah, pretty much everything sucks for everybody.....and that's supposed to make you feel better, I think? I dunno... I've lost myself in this rambling...)
