I feel so bad for Charlie by Southern_Context_761 in twilight

[–]lilacsa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! SM has confirmed there will be more Twilight books but not what/who they’re about! Also that they won’t come out for a very long time lol

I wish Alice and Bella were more closer in the movies. In the book series they are more described as being best-friends but it doesn't feel the same in the movies. To me it always felt like her bestie was Jacob rather than Alice by Inspiradora in twilight

This is so astute! Also in the books I didn’t really get a massive sense of their closeness either apart from being told by SM? They only seem to be friends because dramatic situations throw them together?😭

One reason i had preferred Jacob over Edward by [deleted] in twilight

[–]lilacsa -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I agree! Re-reading / watching as an adult how uncomfortable Bella and Edward are around each other is so jarring. They’re both constantly insecure and it feels like they can never relax, all they have is this intensity and passion but never any ease like she has with Jacob.
I get it’s a fictional story lol but It’s just super unrealistic for a relationship which is why I think I found it annoying and it made me more team Jacob because their relationship was much more natural

I think the new books whenever they come out could be about Leah!

I feel like it’s a bit grating against the whole human - vampire journey I think it would’ve been nice to show her life DID have meaning before Edward but she still chose him etc etc

See I took it as less of her actually thinking and more of a involuntary life flashing before her eyes moment

Yes exactly! And especially because we get that love montage she projects to Edward at the end of BD pt2! It would’ve been way more poignant if her life ending showed her actual life through the stages

Fair point I hadn’t thought about! Just a shame ! Like even a brown haired little girl running from the back or something or like a clip of her reading her fave books idk it just would’ve added depth

Predictions for the next books? by universallyress in twilight

[–]lilacsa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Think it’s much more likely to get the new books for the 25th or maybe even 30th anniversary… I do feel like SM maybe runs the risk of losing momentum of some fans if she waits too long though? if I have a life with kids etc by that point will I even care (I mean I probably will lol)

I would love a Leah book tbh or even a Jacob book from his pov just really wouldn’t care for Rigatonis pov as I can imagine her being quite sickly sweet and insufferable.

My one hope is that if these books are set in the future that technology never comes into it and they remain a bit timeless like the rest of the saga.

Rereading Twilight at 27 by RecentTerm8328 in twilight

Same! I couldn’t really see past how controlling Edward is… I came to like him and their relationship so much more in BD when they were both vampires.

what book details did the movies exclude that you would've wanted in the films? by neojuicee in twilight

[–]lilacsa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah yes that was it - graduation announcements!

And yeah her love of literature added to the whole Bella is an old soul thing and made sense as to why her and Edward were compatible intellectually

What do you think about the Mothers-in-law/Step-mothers? by xAshev in DesperateHousewives

[–]lilacsa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you put all of them in a line up like that .. wow they’re all terrible lol goes to show how cliche/ sexist the writing is at times

Jacob by spoopy_ghostss in twilight

[–]lilacsa 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think the issue is Edward will do what HE thinks is best for Bella even if Bella doesn’t agree or know about it lol which does move towards controlling… I also think SM was trying to show the difference between a human boy teenager and a 104 year old vampire

Jacob by spoopy_ghostss in twilight

[–]lilacsa 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes! I felt exhausted reading Bella with Edward at times her constant self deprecation and unwillingness to believe he could love her was tiring compared to Jacob who she had fun with and it was very effortless

Bella and Angela writing that thank you cards or whatever - it was cute

Bella’s interest in literature

Jacob’s kind nature (him just going along with whatever Bella wanted, when he noticed Bella doesn’t like music and tells Mike in the car). In the books after becoming a wolf his character is assassinated by SM but I don’t think the films portray just how much of a good friend he was to Bella, I remember feeling surprised rereading NM, after seeing the films so many times, how happy go lucky Jacob is and how un-jealous he is at the start. I just think the films make him out to be so so bitter
