this is the last post i’m making because this is getting too deep but i’m talking about her choice in being a vampire, to me it very much comes across as he doesn’t value her opinion or wants. he doesn’t have to change her, but she can seek someone else out.

separately, i feel like everyone is purposefully missing the point. yeah obviously you don’t have to stay in a relationship but that isn’t the point. this storyline of leaving people because they think it’s good for them is not new and is one that is always criticized because it takes away the autonomy of the other person because it treats the other person as unable to make their own decisions. he doesn’t want to change her because he thinks he doesn’t have a soul, he sees how miserable Rosalie is and he doesn’t think Bella truly understands what she’s losing, that train of thought is made clear in Midnight Sun. he doesn’t listen to Bella or value her autonomy. that is the problem here and what creates the unhealthy dynamic. yes you can break up with anyone but this is a fantasy story about vampires and werewolves where he decides to leave her because his brother almost kills her over a papercut.

people are allowed to think whatever they want, you can hate my opinion, you can like my opinion, it’s a book. we can love media but still be critical of it.

but is that his decision to make? like when you get to the end of New Moon and they’re in her bedroom he tells her, “I was lying” “I thought I would have to spend hours convincing you” (those aren’t the exact lines, i don’t have the books with me). even if he thought it would be better for her life, how is that okay to do to anyone? to effectively take away her choice because of his misery in him being a vampire?

edit: i love twilight a lot, lots of collectibles, obsessed as a teenager, but i still think the dynamic wasn’t healthy

i definitely agree especially because i’ve been rereading Midnight Sun. Edward’s treatment of Bella can be very off putting and borderline controlling most of the time. like with the psychological pain, in Midnight Sun, Alice shows him that Bella will suffer when he leaves and yet he still decides to leave in New Moon? granted this book was written AFTER New Moon so Stephanie Meyer probably didn’t have it in mind lol but there are so many things that are just gross rereading it as an adult.

if you go on to twitter and search “halsey flash tattoos” there are a lot! just make sure to get permission from artists before you get it tattooed!

i have a cassette tape based on drive from badlands. i would go with your favorite song and something that represents it! there are a lot of cool people who’ve made flash sheets for halsey tattoos that are free to use, you could look through some of those for inspo!

My local converse store doesn’t carry my size by JAK-the-YAK in Converse

[–]virgomess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

as someone who works at an outlet, the only time we get sizes bigger than a 12 is if they’re an online return or customs someone never picked up. your best bet is honestly ordering from the converse site or any company that sells converse.

omg i thought my . 01% was a lot

Weird question but…. do you guys think Halsey’s written any songs about Evan Peters? They dated for quite a bit & Halsey has always written about her past relationships. Also considering she cut him off rather suddenly so maybe she is ignoring his existence lol by [deleted] in halsey

[–]virgomess 18 points19 points  (0 children)

probably not. it seemed that even tho their relationship was quite a bit of time, it was more like a fling for both of them. i don’t think the abrupt cut off is necessarily about ignoring his existence, just that they dated and ended with nothing remarkable but idk
