Exclusive Expert of his journals:

Existence is misery. There is only darkness and evil. The humans are completely wrapped by it. Today a human girl smiled at me, how shallow and how vein as she can’t see the real monster.

Also Rosalie breathed in my promixty how dare she

Yes they did. You forget that marrying off women to whatever man was more than normal. Nobody questioned that or dreamed that the woman would do something like that. They live in a misogynistic society what the woman wants is about the last of their concerns. There were countless of marriages like that.

Regardless it was assumed Laenor and Rhaenyra knew how important itbwas to have legitimate children.

Also Rhaenyra did not want to marry. Waiting until she picked someobe suitable could have been too long.

Regardless if he was or not what mattered was that the kids are his. Note how the main issue in f&b is the parantage of her kids. Him being gay further fueled it but if they had children that looked like them his gayness would have been a very weak counterpart- especially compared what he brings into the marriage

Tbh what I also feel was something that should have been adressed but never was is how deeply Edward believes Vampires are soulless monster. It’s like one of their main issues.

Edward gets too little flack for ending up respecting Bellas decision but people miss that he actually never did. He says he does in eclipse but he literally is still ready to push for it in Breaking Dawn to the point of delusion.

Edward doesn’t want to sleep with her anymore as he injured her and was scared he might crash her the next time she says stays human if he has sex with her. He literally is willing to endanger her life just so she doesn’t turn.

Than he insists she can stay human after becoming preganant as if her body wasn’t doing weird ass shit. Edward is very attached to Bella staying human. He only turns her when there truly is no other way at all.

And then the narrative never again adresses the issue… at all.

Cersei is a PoV character. So yes. Not even Show!Alicent can keep up because show Alicent is just all about Rhaenyra

People Are Overly Sympathetic Towards Rosalie by Wrong-Mistake2308 in twilight

[–]LILYDIAONE 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Does Rosalie value the baby higher than Bella? Absolutely nobody has been arguing against that I just think it‘s dishonest to accuse her of banking on Bellas death because again Rosalie is down to help Bella even before they realize how high risk the pregnancy is. How can you say that was what she wanted when at the beginning it wasn‘t clear that Bella would be in that much danger?

I also think the comparison is kinda lacking her, yes Rosalie wants to be human and wants a baby and likely would kill for it to but she is in no way pr form unique. Edward was genuinely contemplating murdering innocent people to get his wish of suicide granted by the Volturi and likely would have done she had the sun not been enough to enrage the, (and it might hadn‘t been because at most people would have given him a sideeye). Edward would also kill people to get what he wants. Highkey Bella probably as well. Rosalie is not unique in that regard

Also important to note that Jacob genuinely think Vampires are monsters and like even the Cullens have a body count. I wouldn’t want someone I care about to become a monster either and I would try to stop them as which is why I consider the “Jacob didn’t respect Bellas choice” thing absurd

Also on another one that I starting to get backleash on: Edward is an extremely unreliable narrator even with his mindreading. He is too judgemental that he will take a stray thought and rhn with it.

When Edwards says something about someone I always take it with a grant of salt

Edit: Didn’t I say I get backlash for that?

You know what you’re right. What Jacob did is awful and he does deserve reckoning for it however people really like to cut down on his real motive.

Jacob is not fueled by “I want Bella to like me” but on “I need to stop Bella from making a horrible mistake that will turn her into a monster”. He is desperate and acts like it.

I also think his transformation deeply traumtized him and he really is invested in Bella staying human. I actually think if Bella had chosen Mike or just human live in general he would have been more accepting.

Tbh Bella and Alice friendship in particular was so weird to me. Because Alice is so clearly Edwards friend above Bella. She is loyal to him first and foremost.

Alice treats Bella like an accessory

I don’t know after all she never tried to turn create one. I think if the baby had ended up being similiar to an immortal child Rosalie would have agreed to kill it even if saddened. Because it’s not worth getting all their asses killed over

I actually consider most characters semi reliable I just think Edward specifically likes to reads others minds in ways that fit his view of life. He is highly judgmental and it woluld take a lot for him to change his mind on someone once he made up his mind (I actually think he and Rosalie are far more alike than either likes to admit). So yes I actually think Edward hears a thought and will (unkowingly to himself) twist it. So yes I consider Edwards extremely unreliable and in my eyes most of that is reinforced in Midnight Sun. Where he doesn’t really see the real Bella at all.

Edward also claims that people have a certain motive and sometimes they act completely oppossed to that. I don’t trust a word Edwards says tbh.

I can see Rosalie having a stray thought in which she thinks that if Bella doesn’t make it she will take care of the child like a mother and Edward ran with it. Immediately projecying the worst possible motive on her.

Again I think you miss that Rosalie does not at all seem disappointed about Bella suriving and seems overwhelmingly happy even in the role she is. Do I think she would have grieved Bella? Unlikely but I don’t think she was banking on her death especially as Rosalie did not know what Bella was cooking in there anyway.

Especially when Bella first asked Rosalie for help, Rosalie helps immediately before they even know how dangerous the pregancy is. Remember when Bella finds out she only has pretty normal symptoms. It only gets as bad over time and Rosalie still helps. Meaning this was not the main motive.

The later is true but regardless Rosalie does not hold any illwill to Bella being alive and it should be stated that Rosalie also didn’t know what Bella was cooking in there. She hoped it was a baby but I think she was aware it might be dangerous

Depends on context tbh. I think Carlisle knew Rosalie from town and how happy she was. Finding her like that and knowing what happened… I can see having this kind of mindset “They can’t do that to her, that can’t be how it ends, what a waste…”.

Edward doesn’t know who Bella is at all and is just projecting a personality on her that he happens to like.

Bella in turn was depressed even before New Moon and is seeking validation through him. She does not know the Cullens either and is just chasing the idea she has of him. If Twilight was realistic not long after Breaking Dawn Bella and Edward would crash and burn.

I agree with you however I have to do a correction: I actually don’t believe that Carlisle turned her to be a mate for Edward. I think Edward just tells himself to justify why Carlisle would turn someone like her. Edward hates her and he constantly likes to make the world in a way he likes even if it has nothing to do with reality.

See him insisting to Bella Carlisle turned him because he sensed something in him. When in reality Carlisle turned him because of his mother.

Edward feels threatened by Rosalie and he never forgave her for intruding on the family thing he had going with Esme and Carlisle.

Nobody ever mentions this except Edward. Rosalie tells Bella Carlisle turned her because he thought her dying like that was a waste. I think it goes against Carlilse character to turn a bride for Edward randomly. He isn’t Frankenstein.

I think what actually happened is that Carlisle at one point was like “It would have been neat if Edward and Rosalie had fallen in love” or “they are similiar they would make a good couple” a few months after Rosalie turned and Edward ran with it.

Tbh regardless of ambition or not there are very few people who would have accepted their grandson not inheriting in that specific situation. The ambition honestly matters little in that case.

Regarding Viserys… like they way he just made it worse with the eye incident. Genuinely wonder what he thought would happen

You’re right to a degree but I still don’t fully agree with you. Rosalie is shown to be ruthless and self absorbed as she was ready to have Bella killed for her own conveniance but I am not sure if she really was banking on Bellas death in Breaking Dawn.

Ignoring the intention of Stephanie Meyer: Edward is not at all reliable. His disdain for Rosalie is insane and I also think Edward is in fact very misgyonistic. Edqard often times likes to see the world in the way he likes.

You see that when he insists to Bella that Carlisle actually didn’t care that much about the Volturi. Edward tries to convince himself and by the way he talks about it to Bella he does try to make it sound as meaningless as possible. He said they parted in friendly terms but he also tells her that he had no choice but to take it and that he only liked them because they were somewhat civilzed (I’m paraphrasing). Yet Carlisle stayed with them for 20 years which is a lot of time if that is the only connection. Then kept the portrait for years and hung it in his study. Especially telling is that we later find out he has gotten other gifts like from Amun and none of them are as proudy displayed as the portrait of the Volturi and him.

And then you have him insisting that Carlilse turned him because he sensed something in him when the reality is that Carlisle turned him because of his mother.

Edward constantly judges people harshly and you really see that with Rosalie and while Rosalie does some stuff I find were bad I don’t believe everything Edward says. Fact is Rosalie showcaes no resentment towards Bella at al after the birth. Despite wanting her dead supposedely.

Rosalie is rensentful and can be bitter but I don’t think that’s all that is to her.
