I came across with this girl on tiktok talking about how the media treated Kristen Stewart when she was only seventeen.

Imagine the pressure she was put into when the twilight movie became a global success. She was a teenager dealing with interviews, paparazzi, and people criticizing every single thing she did. And i LOVE Rob, but it is so crazy to me how Rob “hating” on twilight and his character has always been celebrated and laughed at meanwhile Kristen was been criticized because she didn’t smile enough.

And don’t get me started on the whole cheating scandal. She has been the only one dealing with the consequences of that even to this day, when it was something that happened when she was 20 years old and that man was in his 40s (what was a man in his 40s doing with a 20 y/o).

Despite all that I'm glad Kristen still talks about Bella with such affection and respect; and it makes me so happy to see her happy and confident in herself.

Do any of the Cullens actually care about Bella? Short answer: no. But it’s a little more complicated than that, and it varies by each of them. They don’t care about her in the way we’re led to believe, or even the way Bella believes they do. Instead, they care about her only insofar as she serves their interests. From the moment Bella enters their orbit, she’s a demonstration of how little the Cullens actually value human life.

The text makes this clear, and Midnight Sun outright spells it out: the Cullens are inherently selfish. Human life is disposable to them. The difference between them and other vampires is that they cosplay as humans, pretending to care while masking their predatory nature. We’re supposed to think they’re “better” than regular vampires, but they’re not. And honestly? That’s what makes them creepy. None of them cared about Bella as a person. Most of them were fine with her being killed if it came to that.

Edward sums this up perfectly in Midnight Sun when he considers what everyone would think if he drained Bella. Rosalie and Jasper wouldn’t care—if anything, they’d feel smug for being right about Edward’s inability to resist. Esme’s concern would be for Edward’s well-being, not Bella’s life. Carlisle would be disappointed but ultimately forgiving. Emmett? He’d shrug it off. Alice might be upset about losing a potential friend, but even that’s questionable. None of them cared enough to oppose the idea strongly; they were just going along with what suited them.

Rosalie, in particular, gets villainized for not liking Bella, but she’s not any worse than the others. The difference is that Rosalie doesn’t lie about her indifference. She doesn’t play mind games or pretend to care. She wasn’t plotting against Bella she just didn’t want Edward’s fixation to endanger the family. Jasper and Emmett, on the other hand, were fine with Edward killing Bella. Rosalie only got involved when Edward started implicating them in his reckless behavior. Even then, she relented when Carlisle insisted they play nice.

Esme, meanwhile, cared more about Edward’s happiness than Bella’s life. If killing Bella made Edward happy, Esme would’ve supported it. If dating her and dooming her to vampirism made Edward happy, Esme welcomed her. Alice? Alice was less concerned about Bella as a person and more about the idea of her as a new “friend” and human Barbie doll. She orchestrated the relationship, fully aware of the danger Bella faced, because she wanted Bella close. She doesn’t care about Bella’s safety; she cares about her own desires.

Jasper? He doesn’t care about Bella as a person. To him, she’s a tantalizing temptation a challenge to overcome and a new ear to hear his Civil War stories. Emmett? He’s just along for the ride. He didn’t think twice about Bella until the family decided to include her. Then she became “Edward’s human,” and that was that. Carlisle? He cared about Bella in the abstract as an innocent girl who didn’t “deserve” to die but his actions show his selfishness. He made vampires without their consent, knowing they’d kill humans, and let Edward pursue Bella, fully aware of the danger. Carlisle’s priority has always been maintaining his moral high ground while indulging his family’s selfish desires.

Ultimately, none of the Cullens cared about Bella beyond what she represented to them: Edward’s pet project, Alice’s new toy, or Carlisle’s opportunity to preach about self-control. They proved this when they abandoned her without a second thought, leaving her unprotected from the supernatural chaos they brought into her life just because Edward said so.

They’re selfish, manipulative predators who pretend to be human for their own twisted reasons. They don’t care about humans, and Bella was no exception. The outrage over Rosalie’s indifference feels hypocritical when none of the Cullens actually cared about Bella either. At least Rosalie was honest about it. She didn’t have a vendetta against Bella she was just upfront about her priorities. Compared to the others, Rosalie’s selfishness is almost refreshing.

Which brings us to the next natural question: does Edward care about Bella? Spoiler: no. He thinks he does, and we’re supposed to believe he does, but that’s a whole other can of worms. In conclusion, no, the Cullens don’t care about Bella not as a person. She was never more than a convenient object of their desires, and that’s the unsettling truth at the heart of their “family dynamic.”

yes and also Carlisle and Jasper being one of the first to die because those are two of the biggest ties for Alice to be with the Cullen’s (Edward makes them The Big Three but they’d never kill Edward bc they want him too)

& Emmett killing Alec bc Alec tried to take out Bella for shielding Jasper, the only reason Jane was able to use her powers on Jasper was bc Alec attacked Bella, then after Demetri and Felix execute Jasper OF COURSE Emmett is going to take out Alec

again, I can’t remember if it was TikTok, YouTube, tumblr or Reddit where I heard this that Peter was originally going to be the one to yell “LET HER GO” and then charge after them to try to save Alice (who was never going to die anyways let’s be real), it would’ve been SO CUTE but he wasn’t MC enough so I get why they wanted to change it to Carlisle so he could be the catalyst to the whole fight bc ya - those were all his friends, Aro supposedly included, so OF COURSE that’s what would trigger the battle

it was SO well done 😭 truly a cinematic masterpiece, the only thing I wish was different was we got to see Peter and Charlotte during the battle bc hello they fought alongside Jasper before?! they would’ve been so good, it’s my head canon we don’t see them + Rosalie bc they were too busy committing such heinous war crimes (NOT PG13) against the Volturi & Friends for killing Rosalie’s twinnnnn and her dad 🙂‍↕️

I have to say 🥸☝🏼 the battle in breaking dawn pt2 was so well executed, all deaths make so much sense.

Carlisle dying because he wanted to protect Alice. The battle starting to avenge Carlisle’s death. Alice and Sam killing Jane together to avenge Jasper and Seth. Leah, after watching her brother die, sacrifices herself for Esme, the only vampire who was nice to her. Having Bella and Edward killing Aro was the cherry on top.

I get chills every time i watch it.
