I think it’s time we talked about how in twilight & new moon, Jessica is a really good friend to Bella, & then smeyer spent eclipse going back on that & making her into the mean popular girl stereotype, and then in midnight sun it’s revealed that Jess was never a genuine friend and she’s always just super fake and self centred. because popular Girly Girls are incapable of genuine kindness. so Bella’s only true female friend is Angela, who’s equally shy and bookish and reserved. like it’s so clear that that wasn’t the intention when Jess was first written and stephanie just backpedaled later
#like in midnight sun she’s all ugh bella is trying to SABOTAGE my dance with MIKE and. that’s not what she’s like in twilight!!#jess is definitely jealous of the attention bella’s getting but she also knows that bella doesn’t care for it#and jess asks her to go prom dress shopping just bc she wants her company! like there’s no ulterior motive there!#so it definitely seems to me like stephanie was just like oh i have to make her the mean girl#to emphasize how bella’s not like other girls#and it’s so. icky!! it sucks to read !!#it sucks to have bella be hated by every girl other than alice and angela#let bella have girl friends. gal pals.#twilight#the twilight saga#jessica stanley#midnight sun#bella swan#stephanie meyer#twilight renaissance#mine
