“Time went on for everybody else, she won’t know it. Breakups happen every day, you don’t have to lose it.”
edward and bella + right where you left me by taylor swift
“And then he saw the three of us—and realized for the first time that just because he is half immortal, it doesn’t mean he is inherently evil. He looks at me and sees… what his father should have been.” “You are fairly ideal in every way,” I agreed. He snorted and then was serious again. “He looks at you and sees the life his mother should have had.” “Poor Nahuel,” I murmured, and then sighed because I knew I would never be able to think badly of him after this, no matter how uncomfortable his stare made me. “Don’t be sad for him. He’s happy now. Today, he’s finally begun to forgive himself.” — Breaking Dawn, Chapter 39: Happily Ever After
“And I fell from the pedestal right down the rabbit hole. Long story short, it was a bad time. // Rare as the glimmer of a comet in the sky and he feels like home. Long story short, I survived.”
Rosalie + happiness
my secret santa gift for dina, @itsgettingsoold / @edwardsmidnight 💕
i hope you like it!! rosalie’s your fav so i thought i’d make a rosalie edit but like, specifically HAPPY rosalie bc we don’t get enough tbh. i love you and happy holidays! 💖
i just saw a text post talking abt how this user often forgets they have 8th graders and freshmen following them and uh idk if i have any young teens in my followers but just
speaking as someone who was already in this fandom when i was also a young teen i dont know if i can accurately describe how much the landscape has changed.... but i can tell you that it felt like a safe space to escape into and enjoy the story and the characters of twilight, especially bc when outside of that space, we were mocked and ridiculed and turned into a joke. to this day i hesitate mentioning twilight unless i’m certain that it won’t be received with disdain bc yknow. the lowkey trauma!
and i don’t want to give any specific examples but it feels like that safe space has changed, bc the fandom itself has pivoted into a place of mockery and contempt that frankly makes me doubt whether some ppl actually derive joy from consuming this content?? and idk yeah it’s just confusing!!!!
i guess what i’m trying to say is... if you are a young person who enjoys twilight who has ever been made to feel guilty or “”cringe”” for liking it, i would like to tell you that you are awesome and you should keep enjoying what you enjoy. i’m not saying ignore the valid criticisms against the established canon world bc you absolutely shouldnt, but if you still enjoy canon, that’s fine too!!!!!!! just be aware of it, and then reject those ideas and try to educate others going forward. no piece of media you find will ever be completely unproblematic and uncringe anyway. so whether youre a cullen fan or a wolf pack fan or you have the hots for the volturi.... or the nomads or the other covens or even the humans...you are valid!!!!! go forth and spread love, my darlings
I realized with a bit of embarrassment that my great accomplishment, my solo expedition, had merely been a ruse. And then I was glad again to think that Carlisle trusted my control so much that he’d been willing to send me off on a sham trial in order to surprise me this way.

The Twilight Saga + Forever
Stay always, stay forever.
Midnight Sun + Eclipse
Midnight Sun
“Someday she’ll want more than I can give her.” There was so much I couldn’t give her. “You would have wanted more, wouldn’t you? If you were in her position, and Emmett in mine?”
Eclipse
“You’re more important than everyone else. And you’ve given me you. That’s already more than I deserve, and anything else you give me just throws us more out of balance.”
He processed that for a moment, and then rolled his eyes. “The way you regard me is ludicrous.”
Edward, you’ve got a big storm coming.
Midnight Sun + New Moon
I couldn’t fully form the picture in my head. Leaving her. How would I survive? Alice had shown me Bella’s anguish in my absence, but what would she see of me in that version of the future, if she looked? I couldn’t believe I would be anything more than a broken shadow, useless, crumpled, empty.
“Maybe, if my attempt was doomed to failure anyway, I should stop torturing myself and just go back… the idea was so powerful, so healing - like the words contained a strong anesthetic, washing away the mountain of pane I was buried under - that it made me gasp, made me dizzy. I could leave now, I could go back. (…) She deserved better than that. She deserved better than me.“
New Moon outtake, Rosalie’s News - Stephenie Meyer
“The whole world was meaningless. I wondered how much longer I would be able to stand this. (…) Bella’s face, always behind the lids of my eyes, smiled at me. When she left this world, she would go to a place that was forever barred to me. The idea of that final separation was so much more intense than the pain I already had. (…) When Bella went on to the place where she belonged and I never could, I would not linger here behind. There must be oblivion.“ - New Moon outtake, Rosalie’s News // Stephenie Meyer
