I am a HUGE Twilight fan. I've read all of the books, including Midnight Sun. I've watched all of the movies countless of times and I've read the first book of the series more times than I can count. Out of curiosity, what are some strong opinions you guys have about Twilight?

 I'll go first. Bella is heavily misunderstood by any "non-average" Twilight fan. A lot of things I've noticed people say about Bella (specifically in the movies) is that "she's dry, shows no emotion" etc. Which for one could be blamed on Kristen Stewart's performance. However, I feel like people either forget or don't realize, that Bella quite literally struggles with depression. Also, she is just a relatively quiet person. Based on how she grew up, (which is mentioned throughout the books) she had to grow up faster due to her mother. And when she moves in with Charlie, she literally cries herself to sleep on the first couple of nights. 

But all in all, how do you feel about Bella? Are there any hot takes you have about Twilight? I would love to hear it. :)

Hiiiii~~~!!!! 


I really enjoyed reading the books. They were a lot of fun and had more in depth details about everyone, which was something the movies never captured or failed to. I loved reading Alice and Jasper's story and the rest of the Cullens. I remember reading an interview that the author wrote Bella as a clean slate so that the reader, which would be a teenage girl, can imagine herself as the main character. It made sense to me that she was probably an awkward teen with depression. But also reserved and kept to herself cause she was still upset cause of her parents and having to move to different places. I mean who wouldn't be?! Also idk why but I always got the impression that Edward was completely different than movie Edward. I felt like book Edward was more cautious and immature at times?? I think he had more to say and showed more personality traits that were relatable. Like him getting annoyed at times or him reacting with shock. But I remember when the hype began back in 2010 and I refused to watch it until months later and I decided to try it out and watched the first film. OMG I was obsessed! At the time I was team Jacob but now that I look back I would really be team Jasper, he's so courteous ✨✨
