#but Smeyer doesn’t know what starcrossed lovers mean and that’s why the Romeo and Juliet thing doesn’t work in Twilight

@fuckmeyer and @effervescent-hoe

I wrote a whole rant and ramble about Twilight and my issues with the Sequel trilogy and it’s failures to its characters and the issues that it shares with the twilight world (the sexism racism and flanderization and intentional mishandling of characters’ to further a specific character and narrative)

Literally rambled for five pages to come to the conclusion that Palpatine is in fact Bella and Rey is Leah but she is also Anakin in the way that Anakin was the chosen one whose journey was in fact noble until Palpatine intervened and interrupted. also spoiler alert (Rey is Palpaltines granddaughter for no reason other than writers shit the bed, in the same way Leah is suddenly Bella’s stepsister)

WAIT WAIT WAIT Leah could also be Padme in The narrative that a woman who has been and should powerful figure in her community and outside of her community and fridges her. Leah should be alpha, her father was a tribal leader, she would have been raised to fill that role as well:

Padme is the leader of her people and Anakin does truly love her. It’s his paranoia and Palpatine’s manipulation that leads to her death.

It’s Bella’s presence and goals that lead to Leah’s proverbial “fridging” and the circumstances surrounding Leah’s life. Hell, Leah could be Anakin
