Today's AP lit question was about hierarchy lmaooo. Shoulda written it about Twilight. Bella's inherent inferiority drives her to crave Vampirehood, representing her desire for power, safety, and eternal romance, ultimately suggesting that the desire for immortal Vampirehood is as human as the desire for any abundant source of power and security.
I think the stupidest Gen Z thing I've done is growing up on the cultural gem that is the Percy Jackson series and conciously choosing to stan Twilight instead.
You cannot convince me the cullens wouldn't CREATE. In every sense of the word. That Alice wouldn't have a sculpture of light on her wall, woven from strands of Christmas lights, odd bulbs, strobing colors, living on her wall, breathing with her, as she fades in and out of awareness as time wanders slowly by. That Edward wouldn't have binders full of his own musical compositions, piano arrangements of his favorite symphonies that he arranged just for himself. That Emmet wouldn't build a car up from nothing. That Carlisle wouldn't publish literature. Not novels for entertainment, but true, pure literature. He has so much to say. And you cannot convince me that Esme has never gone out and woven the exact textile she wanted her couch to be made of, because she had a vision, a passion, endless time, endless resources to create what she felt in her heart. That Jasper never sought to make Alice a piece of jewelry instead of buying her one.
It goes on and on, but I only believe that where human people say "I'd love to create that, but it's not worth the time and money," the cullens would say "I'd love to create that, and the cost of buying it, the 40 hours of satisfying occupation I lose, is a hefty price"
Stephenie Meyer likes raisins.
Edward:
Me:
Alright, which of these did he use. ‘Snails? It was ‘snails, wasn’t it.
mrs. stephenie "I hate research" meyer lacks vision and I bet she was just too lazy to even... google this page. But yea it was definitely 'snails.
Friendly reminder that there are 750 Quileute. Seven Hundred and Fifty. Think. For reference- how big was your middle school? (around that, maybe?) I think we tend not to understand how personal their inclusion in Twilight was. Smeyer took advantage of them. She's rich off of them and their culture. She exploited and misrepresented them. Seven hundred and fifty people. She could look each one of them in the eye and apologize in one afternoon and instead, she sits on 125 million dollars as if her hands are tied.
