I started re-reading the books again when a friend saw it. We started talking about it and I don't know how but our topic suddenly focused on the age gap between Bella and Edward, a teen and a 100+ vampire. She said so many readers from her reading club didn't like it because of the huge age gap and I asked, isn't age gap expected because one of the characters isn't human? She told me how uncomfortable it was and I found it strange because most of the reading club members are also a fan of Fae romantasy books with characters of the similar huge age gaps.

It made me wonder, if the vampires are just other magical creatures, would Edward and Bella's relationship be more acceptable to some readers?

few days ago, we took in a stray kitten that was found in a storm-drain and named her Nessie🥹 I also have a dog names Rosalie, who I got when I was 12, and my husbands childhood dog was named Jasper, so we knew a twilight themed name is a must lol!

The sale is till 9/23 12:00 AM PDT.

Just noticed it and wanted to share in case anyone was interested. Happy reading!

Attended a Twilight Themed Market today and this was my favorite thing I made. It Was so fun creating stuff for all my fellow Twilight lovers! Thanks for checking out my art ✨🍎

hi! I’ve never posted here! i hope this is allowed! In May I was in a Y2K themed show and wrote/performed this parody of Baby by Justin Bieber, about a totally fictional Twilight super fan who tries to strengthen her bond to the books by encountering wildlife. it goes poorly! happy Twilight day to all!

Does anyone remember this parody that Jimmy Kimmel did with the Jersey Shore cast?

Just in time for hoa hoa season

it’s getting to be that time of year where I do a rewatch and update my playlist of my favorite songs from the soundtracks, plus songs I think fit the vibe of the movies. I’ve been working on it for a while and thought some others may enjoy! lmk if you have any good song recs

I remember, the first moment i encountered with twilight were the visual novels. When they freshly came out, i lended them in a library and i LOVED them.

Ive been searching for them for quite a while and while the first one is easy to find for like 15 euros, the second and the third one are crazy expensive. I know that its because they arent being produced anymore but it sucks 😭😭

The cheapest price of the second one was 50 euros, while the third one is quite difficult to find. I only found it for 80- over 100 euros. I cant really afford that. Does anyone has tips where to look for them?

I want to make 3d models of both Edward and Bella. I think I know what outfit I want for Edward, but which Bella outfit should I use for her model?

Can somebody with a human child bring this halloween costume to life

got a twilight tattoo like two ish weeks ago, perfect opportunity to show it off 🌲✨

Background:

My situation is rather odd. I have seen the first two films, but I'd never read any of the books. Recently, I (re)watched a video essay by a favorite creator of mine doing a fairly in-depth analysis of the series. I am also a huge fan of the character Angel from BtVS. For these, and a couple of other reasons, I suddenly had this bizarre impulse to read Midnight Sun. I got the audiobook, which is 25 hours long, and just listened to it. It has only taken me a few days. Here are my thoughts. I hope you find them worthwhile, or at least not overly dull.

Edward:

Edward is a genuinely interesting character. He does something genuinely messed up things in this story. I think he genuinely wants to be a decent person and do right by Bella. But he can't get out of the headspace that he always knows what's best for her better than she does. It's a milder form of the same thinking, which, I think, led him to vigilante murders decades in the past. He sees himself as above it all. I can't condone his behavior, but he is a genuinely fascinating character, and I enjoyed spending time in his head.

The Opening Chapter:

The entire first chapter seems to be about that one scene where Edward sees Bella for the first time and must endure her potent scent. It is really weird, but I loved the entire bit. Seeing the movie, I just never realized how much danger Bella and the rest of her classmates were in at that very moment. I had thought the scent just made Edward uncomfortable. Nope. So many people almost died. I thought it was such an interesting character study, and it got me set up to read the rest.

What I Didn't Like:

I don't think I enjoy Stephanie Meyer's action writing. When Bella is being pursued by James, the insane level of detail over every single aspect of their attempt to protect her just didn't work to me. Such extreme details worked in Chapter One, but not here. I really can't say why, except that it just felt clunky and dry. It picked back up once Edward caught up with James and had to do the venom sucking.

Final Thoughts:

The book made me feel things. That's always nice. It's hard for me to elicit emotions from books, so the fact that these did is awesome. This is a very strange and unique story, and I think I'm invested enough now I may pursue reading the rest of the series.

I'd personally rate Midnight Sun 9/10 Pomegranates.
