what makes me actually boil with rage is the way it’s framed as though jacob & the cullens have an even rivalry and like, he hates them just as much as they hate him, but like… jacob is a lower class kid who lives on the rez, the cullens live in a plantation home on private property. jacob calling alice a leech is an insult, but alice calling him a mongrel calls into power and privilege, ya know. like am i supposed to honestly think jake making blonde jokes to rosalie (which is certainly sexist and uncalled for) is on the same level as her serving him food in a dog dish? him seeing the cullens as bloodsuckers and murderers is just like, incorrect and unfair, but them seeing him as uncivilized and over-aggressive has implications deeply rooted in the oppression of his people
I’M NOT DONE jake’s whole life is literally turned around BECAUSE OF THEIR PRESENCE. the wolf transformation is triggered by the vampires in forks, their presence stole jacob's teenage years from him. wouldn't you be resentful? AND HE LITERALLY HAS TO STAY AROUND WHITEBOY MCSPARKLE FOR THE REST OF ETERNITY?? he imprints on an immortal which means he’ll be immortal and bella is all “so you can be with us forever jake hooray my family is finally complete ^_^” JACOB ALREADY HAS A FAMILY?? i don’t care that this white girl decided her parents will be fine without her and she doesn’t have a single other living family member or friend to tie her to human life, JACOB HAS A FATHER AND 2 SISTERS THAT HES SUPPOSED TO JUST ?? WHAT, LEAVE BEHIND THE NEXT TIME THE CULLENS DECIDE THEYVE BEEN IN FORKS TOO LONG??? not to mention all his brothers in the pack, and leah who he was planning to run away with, and emily who always extended her home to him, and sue who has been a close family friend since before jake was born, and presumably everyone else in this community that jake has been in all his life. this whole jake being frozen at 16 (later reaching 18) for the rest of time thing is presented as this miraculous solution & happy ending for the white girl protagonist but jake literally lost EVERYTHING because of it, and i’m supposed to just accept that he’s happy to do it because the newborn baby of his high school crush is the most important thing in his life now??????? PLEASE
the cullens literally destroy his life from the ground up and are rude & confrontational throughout it all, I CANT BELIEVE HIS ENDING IS TO JOIN THEM
