“vampirism is too romanticized these days” damn that’s crazy. I’m romanticizing it even more now though because you’re whining like this

Hello tumblr, have a Rosalie in casual clothing
emmett is fat AND strong and rosalie is fat AND beautiful. amen
Surely, if you got a pet as a baby, they’d grow up to be used to vampires. SURELY. Emmett and Rose have a pack of dogs that they absolutely spoil and cherish.
Okie I read this post and IMMEDIATELY had to draw it
They get the old dogs that need homes from the pound 🥹🥹🥹
And the pups don’t fully understand their cold cold parents, but they try to keep them both warm on stormy nights 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹
blood as a fashion statement u either get it or u don’t
feel free to add commentary!!
Okay so like, this is hard because they're both SUCH people of their time but I honestly think no, but it would have a different likeliness depending on whether Edward was a teen in 2005 or Bella was a teen in 1918.
If Edward was a teen in 2005, he'd be gay, and I really don't think I'm being brave for this. I think he falls a little short of 100% Into Men but I really honestly think that if he'd had the opportunity to develop his own sense of self, he would have chosen to express himself as a demi- romantic gay man rather than the almost completely asexual hetero that he is in cannon. So no. Bella wouldn't be on the table. And honestly, I don't even think they would be friends. They have no overlapping interests and Edward is inherently smug and stubborn. Human!Edward is a mean girl, for sure.
If Bella was in 1918, I still think no, but the odds are evened up again. Compulsory heterosexuality is back on the table and in full swing. They're of a ~similar-ish~ tax bracket so marriage would be okay, maybe Bella would be marrying up a bit, but, anyway--
This would hinge on a few things: if Edward was obsessed with war still, it would be difficult. I think his self sacrificing nature means that he wouldn't want to fall in love with a woman and leave her behind. So if he met Bella before deployment and he liked her enough, he'd let her go, for sure.
If we aren't talking about the war, then it depends on how good of a woman Bella has learned to be. Because from her time in 2005 we get conflicting reports. On the one hand, she's a supreme carer to the point of neuroticism. She can cook, clean, nurse back to health, suffer in silence, etc. on the other hand, she's not great at Performing Womanhood. The little social graces illude her. Maybe she would be kind of a weird little recluse. Edward, on the other hand, would always be pretty popular in my estimation. And he would have no need to chase Bella because the blood and mind reading things aren't on the table.
tldr: no, probably not. In 2005 they might actively dislike each other. In 1918 I don't even think they're acquainted.

When millennials work in government
Hello. I'm not new to the Twilight fandom, but I only know one joke about a vampire having sex with his food. It was said by someone from the series What We Do in the Shadows. I've read a lot of fanfiction, but no one has ever pointed out that it's weird for a vampire to sleep with his dinner. Do you have any thoughts about this?
It comes up from time to time. It's somewhat standard for the vampire genre, though, so the jokes are in every fandom I'd imagine. "Don't play with your food" etc. The one from WWDITS, if I recall, was in a discussion of why they prefer virgin blood and one of the vampires crudely described it as you're enjoy a sandwich more if you knew no one had had sex with it.
With Twilight they are never so straightforward about it, but in the movies Bella does joke about how she might 'become the meal' so it's sort of acknowledged. I think part of it with Twilight is that it is SO sexually repressed (until marriage! whereupon she immediately gets pregnant!) that it doesn't come up in the context of sex so much as just, why are you hanging out with your food, why are you in love with your food, why do you want to marry your food? But even so, the Cullens do try to see humans as people and not just prey so it's more the other vampires seeing it this way (the "you brought a snack?" at the baseball game, for example).
What seems MORE strange to me, personally, is that it's CANON LORE that male vampires CANNOT reproduce with female vampires, but CAN with THEIR FOOD. It's even canon that the MORE DELICIOUS A WOMAN SMELLS TO A SPECIFIC (MALE) VAMPIRE, the higher the chance of conceiving. So not only can they have babies with their food, the chances of Baby are higher the MORE DELICIOUS the food is. Like why . . . why would biology work that way. Why would one half of the species retain fertility while the other didn't? Why can they reproduce with their intended prey? Why does the deliciousness of the specific prey make it easier to conceive?? That makes it a million times more likely the human dies and the pregnancy doesn't proceed. It feels so specifically designed just so Edward and Bella can have a kid; like the entire universe, in-world science and lore bent to their needs.
Edward had sex with the most delicious sandwich ever and had a half-sandwich child with it. What.
There’s also that scene in eclipse where jake and bella watch an eagle catch a fish, jacob says something like “look, the fish wasn’t trying to kiss the eagle,” and bella says “maybe it was trying to” which feels like them absolutely pointing out how weird it is for a vampire to sleep with his dinner
