I see #MidnightSun trending on Twitter, and as a recovering Twilight fan myself, I just want to urge fans to consider making a donation to support the Quileute Tribe’s Move to Higher Ground Project: a project dedicated to moving the community from a tsunami disaster zone at the edge of the Pacific Ocean to a safer, better and higher ground. –and also to support other causes that directly benefit Native people such as the Navajo Hopi Covid Relief Fund. https://www.gofundme.com/f/NHFC19Relief As we speak, the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe is fighting against disestablishment by the Trump administration- you can learn more about how to help on their website and this great article in Teen Vogue: Native Tribe’s Rights to Permanent Homelands Are at Risk. As someone who LOVED the Twilight series, read fanfic, made fanart, and will most definitely have a raucous, drunken read-aloud party of Edward’s inner monologue if Midnight Sun does actually drop… I think it is so important to never erase that Twilight perpetuates racist and othering ideas about Indigenous people, and the series’ success did not benefit the Quileute Tribe monetarily while SMeyer and the franchise rocketed to mega-success, fame, and wealth. There’s a lot of talk about the series’ misogyny, which is important, but I think that in 2020, anybody who’s White and who’s still participating in the fandom should centralize critiques of the series’ racism, learn about the issues, and more than that, should back that up with funds and material support.
damn we all are whores for this shit
EDWARD SAID FUCK
“I stared into her eyes, wide under the thick fringe of lashes, and yearned for sleep. Not for oblivion, as I had before, not to escape boredom, but because I wanted to dream. Maybe, if I could be unconscious, if I could dream, I could live for a few hours in a world where she and I could be together. She dreamed of me. I wanted to dream of her.” -Edward Cullen, Midnight Sun
My life was an unending, unchanging midnight. It must, by necessity, always be midnight for me. So how was it possible that the sun was rising now, in the middle of my midnight?
one of my favorite things about twilight is how in midnight sun edward is telling emmett about bella when they first meet and how she just smells so delicious and alluring and he can’t control himself etc
and emmett’s like oh man that happened to me once. i remember, she was out hanging her laundry and she just smelled so great… so i killed her and drank her blood for sustenance. well, good luck with all this
i’ve decided that from now on i’m gonna do my midnight sun shitposting to smeyer HERSELF directly i don’t need yall!!!!
day 2!
Edward to Bella during the entirety of Midnight Sun
one reason I lov midnight sun is bc it proves that just bc one can read minds and see life through a million different perspectives does NOT mean they have any clue whatsoever on what to do in any situation ever
I could see how easy it would be to fall into loving Bella. It would be exactly like falling: effortless. Not letting myself love her was the opposite of falling—it was pulling myself up a cliff-face, hand over hand, the task as grueling as if I had no more than mortal strength.

Emmett waited for me outside the door of our Spanish class. He read my wild expression for a moment. How did it go? he wondered warily. “Nobody died,” I mumbled. I guess that’s something.
Those Denali sisters were legit black widows up in Alaska, fucking and killing all those hoards of men chasing after them.
“Stop it, Mom, you’re making me blush.”
