how to fuck vampires in a God Honoring Way

oof. I gotta say, anon, I personally am a jessamine/alice person, not a jasper/archie person.

which I realize makes me sound kinda like a t*rf and I SWEAR I'M NOT, I PROMISE

for me it's a personal hangup—for whatever reason, I have just never been able to get into an m/m ship. I need at least one lady in there somewhere or I will be immediately bored. (I haven't tested this out with all genders—it's possible I could be into dude/agender person or something, idk.)

it's also that archie as a character doesn't appeal to me in that fannish way at all. a lot of my enjoyment of alice is rooted in the Female Gothic and how she's shaped by patriarchy and chooses to perform femininity and stuff. make her a dude, and I lose interest ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

whereas jessamine still retains all the stuff that appeals to me about jasper's character, if that makes sense.

anyway the tl;dr version I think I used when I was explaining to someone why I think fans find edythe so much more likable than edward is "why would you Boy when you could Girl"

(but again I absolutely do not mean this to sound t*rfy or offensive to trans people in any way, this is specifically about my individual shipping preferences in this one silly little fandom ok. you guys can Boy all day if that's what sparks joy and I will support you 100%)

in conclusion, I very much agree with your larger point—we need more queer twilight fic in this fandom. smeyer literally made it SO EASY for us. as usual, y'all can feel free to send recs my way anytime!

ugh STOP i’m not worthy you;re so effervescent who’s gonna resuscitate me

12. which canon ship is your favorite? why

in case it wasn’t clear from the Everything About Me, the answer is jalice

I could write several dissertations about why and there may come a day when I do (remember when people wrote shipping manifestos? a bitch just might do that)

but for now let me just draw your attention to all the delicious opposites both visual and temperamental…like, guy with horrible toxic evilbad past marries amnesiac girl whose whole thing is ~the future~?? poetic fucking cinema. I love their introvert/extrovert, chill/high energy, chiaroscuro dynamic and yes even the comically extreme height difference

in conclusion I love all the jalices and would die for every possible incarnation of this ship. you wanna give me jasper/archie? jessamine/archie? jessamine/alice? yes. more. all of it. I love it. all the jalices
