    I read somewhere that Rosalie thinking about her own beauty was a way to get Edward to stop reading her thoughts. He hears her thinking about herself and mentally rolls his eyes and moves on.

      I was listening to the audio he was listening to but I couldn’t get through actually reading the book without being over it and rolling my eyes. Anyway, omg I kept telling myself he’s such a kid!!! And especially now that I’m an adult it’s even worse/funny to read this book. The whole, she likes me I can’t believe it. I’m good looking? Really? Ughhhhhh he’s a 100 year old vampire with a 17 year old mindset and zero love life experience.

  • @emalinepeeler9946

    It's the way that Edward constantly refers to his classmates as children but doesn't acknowledge that Bella is also a child. The closest we get to him admitting it is when he refers to Bella as a girl.

    "there is no way Edward has double the thoughts that Bella has!"
    He doesn't sleep 😭😅 he definitely does. Plus he has everyone else's thoughts in there 😂😂😂😂
    I haven't read the original trilogy in a long time but reread Midnight Sun recently. Really liked the insights we got on Jasper through Edward's POV and how James didn't notice Bella right away.

    Thank you so much for reading this story and giving us your commentary :) Midnight Sun is so dear to me lol. I adore it with my whole heart, it’s unhinged and hilarious and as an og twilight girlie, it captures for me, better than anything else, that particular flavor of angsty-earnestness that brings me right back to being 14, depressed, and so wholesome.
    Edward Cullen having one long panic attack for the entire 700 pages of this novel, counting bugs in the meadow in order to tame his thirst and let us know once again how god-tier his multitasking skills are, chasing James across the whole of Canada, and crushing the bottle cap as a symbol of his failure to protect Bella, ughhh it’s so emo and fun. I cannot wait for you to read new moon - the plot development is 🤌🏻🤌🏻 thank you so much for doing this!!

    I agree with the hereditary theory about Bella's powers. Women usually get an interesting part of their father's DNA signature because remember the male side of the equation is what decides the gender of the baby. It would make sense that her power is enhanced but still traceable to Charlie.

  • @martinadeluca302
    @martinadeluca302 Місяць тому +45

    The first part of this book was amazing, but after a certain point, Edward's self-hatred and obsession with Bella became a bit repetitive. If this book had been 200 pages shorter, it would have been excellent!

  • @liv97497
    @liv97497 Місяць тому +38

    One thing I need you to know is that this version of Midnight Sun is an "improved" version. The leaked 12 chapters from back in 2008 were... much worse. I distinctly remember that when Edward first goes to watch Bella sleep, he is still considering killing her. It also didn't have everything with the Cullens - it was basically all about Bella. Stephenie Meyer largely rewrote it (to much better results in my opinion) and it makes it this insane, unhinged, hilarious look into Edward's POV.
    Now if you want to REALLY laugh, take a look at Stephenie Meyer's FAQ on her website about all the Twilight lore (I *think* her website still has much of the same content. There's answers to the mechanics of vampirism as she imagined it and some things about the plot and it's so good.

  • @goblinfeet
    @goblinfeet Місяць тому +28

    my absolutely favourite headcanon is that bella and charlie are just autistic so edward can’t read their thoughts LMFAOOOOOO. logistically and for lore purposes it’s not true but i loved it. explains bellas personality a lot too.
    ++ also on edward being dark/creepy. it’s pretty traditional for gothic literature to have taboos like this. he’s a vampire, he’s not going to be taking her out for ice cream, you know? gothic literature has to be weird lmfaoo. ALSO author is a Mormon… so Edward’s protectiveness and like … pushiness of bellas boundaries is likely some … gender stuff from being a Mormon. the Mormon stuff gets uhhhhhhhhhhh MORE prevalent later.

  • @mitkit99
    @mitkit99 Місяць тому +14

    Out of those extra stuff you mentioned at the end, you should probably read the short story The Short Second Life Of Bree Tanner. The main bad guys of the series show up in New Moon and are pretty important for the rest of the series, particularly Breaking Dawn, and Bree Tanner’s short story gives some information on them that makes it worth reading. It take place during the timeline of Eclipse, so I recommend reading it before Breaking Dawn.

  • @gg123abc12

    This is so great for just the look into the Cullens, it's such fun to read (very much in a slight fascination/horror/trainwreck sense) if you ever saw the show YOU, it's very on point to so much of Edwards behaviour and view - yes it's overwhelmingly controlling, obsessive and toxic as fuck. He starts to micromanage every little detail of her life and everything around her.
    For Jasper also consider the fact of his power of empathy...... he has insane control as he also feels all the bloodthirst of his entire family.... (his mindset and appearance make a hell of a lot of sense for that) particularly Edwards for Bella on top of it all (forget Edward not massacring his singer and the classroom and most likely entire school.... it's *jasper* that should have snapped at the moment and killed everyone, and he didn't)
    And to be fair to the length - it is completely in character for Edward.

    I’ve been a fan of twilight since I was 14 years old I am now 30 years old. I’m also a woman and what are the things that I like about twilight is the way we’re as able to go back and critique the series because there’s a lot of different themes and things you can kind of like look into deeper or with new perspectives like when I was younger and very much team Edward, I really like twilight and new moon and didn’t really fuck with the eclipse now eclipse is probably my favourite book in the series. Another thing that you’ll notice is like now that we have midnightsun and when you re-read the rest of the series kind of like can reflect and be like oh I get why it’s written this way Bella 17. She’s an unreliable narrator because she’s a child.

    I'm rereading Midnight Sun. It occurred to me that there is an element of Fated Mates in this series. It's much deeper than infatuation leads instantly to blind, intense devotion and love. You see elements of Fated Mates mostly clearly in the last book. So, it makes Edward and Bella's instant connection and deep bond more plausible. I can also see toches of Romeo and Juliet.

    When you said Edward could date anyone including a supermodel, my brain went crazy and thought of this scenario where vampires only ever date supermodels and turn them and then eventually when humanity goes extinct, the only people left on Earth are vampires and supermodel vampires.
    Anyways, I think this book makes Twilight so much darker, where before it felt a little bit silly. Imagine re-reading the first book and everytime Bella is home living her life Edward is watching from the shadows. That scene where she goes outside to read and he's just lurking at the edge of the forest watching. Shivers down my spine.
