rosalie’s news + my tears ricochet

Of course I could not go back. What was my pain, after all, in comparison to her happiness? She should be able to smile, free from fear and danger. Free from a longing for a soulless future. She deserved better than that. She deserved better than me. When she left this world, she would go to a place that was forever barred to me, no matter how I conducted myself here. The idea of that final separation was so much more intense than the pain I already had. My body shook with it. When Bella went to the place where she belonged and I never could, I would not linger here behind. There must be oblivion. There must be relief. That was my hope, but there were no guarantees. To sleep, perchance to dream. Ay, there’s the rub, I quoted to myself. Even when I was ash, would I somehow still feel the torture of her loss? I shuddered again. And, damn it, I’d promised. I’d promised her that I wouldn’t haunt her life again, bring my black demons into it. I wasn’t going back on my word. Couldn’t I do anything right by her? Anything at all? The idea of returning to the cloudy little town that would always be my true home on this planet snaked through my thoughts again. Just to check. Just to see that she’s well and safe and happy. Not to interfere. She would never know I was there… No. Damn it, no.

“You weren’t going to let go. I could see that. I didn’t want to do it - it felt like it would kill me to do it - but I knew that if I couldn’t convince you that I didn’t love you anymore, it would just take you that much longer to get on with your life. I hoped that, if you thought I’d moved on, so would you.” - Edward Cullen, New Moon, chapter 23, pg. 509

He’s quite pretty. I wonder where Carlisle found him.

How charming. She let her hand drop, smiling widely at me. So pretty. I wonder what his gift might be, and why it appealed to Carlisle?

Twilight Survey Results

First off, thank you so much for your patience, I know it took a while to get these results out so I’m sorry about that. Also thank you for taking the survey and being excited to see these results. I loved reading your responses and I really appreciate that you took the time to care about this fun little project of mine, so thank you! 

Below the cut you’ll find graphs that summarize the results.

But while I’ve got you here, I’d like to help do some good in the world.

Here is a link to a masterlist of resources, petitions, and funds we can support to help the Black Lives Matter movement accomplish its goals. 

This is a playlist of videos that will be donating their revenue to BLM

Here’s a link to the Quileute tribe’s mission to move to a higher ground. Please read and donate if you can.

One last note: I tried my best to quantify as much of the data as I could, and in attempting to do so, I’m sorry if you feel like your response was oversimplified, I did my best to capture the essence of the responses. I hope one of the takeaways is that we should critically engage with the media we consume. We can love something and still discuss its faults, it doesn’t make us “negative”, it makes us informed consumers. Likewise, our criticism of a piece of media isn’t well informed if we’re not seeing the whole picture, which requires acknowledging merits as well as faults.

Graphs below the cut!

In exchange, everyone who reblogs this post will later see me in their notes reblogging content you’ve created for twilight (fanart, memes, text posts, gifsets, graphics, etc.)

BASICALLY; take my survey, reblog this post, and I’ll fill up my queue with your stuff

“I love him. Not because he’s beautiful or because he’s rich! I’d much rather he weren’t either one. It would even out the gap between us just a little bit — because he’d still be the most loving and unselfish and brilliant and decent person I’ve ever met. Of course I love him.”

Happy Birthday, Edward Anthony Masen Cullen! (June 20, 1901)

All I really saw was Edward’s face; it filled my vision and overwhelmed my mind. His eyes were a buttery, burning gold; his perfect face was almost severe with the depth of his emotion. And then, as he met my awed gaze, he broke into a breathtaking smile of exultation.

“I can’t believe how quick it was. I didn’t feel a thing - they’re very good.” he mused, closing his eyes and pressing his lips against my hair. His voice was like honey and velvet.
