#| ✊😔 we stan some icons

[volturialice]

Kinda insane and iconic for smeyer to make Jasper pretty (pls tell me that I'm not the only person who thinks that) with his long honey-blond hair and his big hands and his tall stature, and everybody draws him really pretty as well, while also covering him in an ungodly amount of scars and making him look haunted behind the eyes and carries an air of violence and stands like he's one second away from snapping your neck.

I don't know. At first glance you look at him and think "oh pretty boy" but then you REALLY look at him and think "DANGER I'M IN DANGER". Also also if you compare him to his other siblings... particularly his 'twin' Rosalie... I am having thoughts.

lollll you're definitely not the only person who thinks that, judging by the amount of jasper x re@der in the tag!! (it's also hilarious to me that jackson rathbone was apparently one of smeyer's fancasts for edward, but I digress)

personally, I don't imagine jasper as any more or less "objectively" (there's no such thing but let's pretend there is) physically attractive than like, all the other vampire characters. it's twilight, it's the wish fulfillment Everyone's Supernaturally Hot series.

perhaps ironically, blond dudes are very much Not My Type irl, so I'm right there with you in thinking jasper's vibes are what make him attractive (just as you described! the haunted air of violence!)

(reformed war criminal experiences constant suffering in contemporary high school. hypercompetent badass forced to sit through algebra II thinks of nothing but murder all day. local wife guy implored to 'dial it back a notch' after casually planning to execute bland arizonian classmate. you get it)

i've also read takes that are like "alice and jasper are the UGLY vampires because um. scars!! short hair!! skinny!! they are so unfuckable and brave ✊😔" to which I'm like. girl what the sam hill are you talking about, every josh chris and mackenzie in this high school is weeping and eating glass @ how hot they are. we are told every 4 sentences that all the cullens are extremely conventionally attractive. they're my faves too but I'm not making a Bold Transgressive Statement by stanning 'ugly' characters here. I have james for that. they're hot people, harold. like what books did you read

so yeah, you're definitely not alone. making some points there!!
