every time I’m forced to concede that, no, Edward Cullen in Twilight does not just do high school over and over again- he and his “siblings” actually do ALL their schooling from high school through PhDs over and over again,because they were all under age 21 when turned and now will never pass for any age after like 30, and Bella just happened to catch them at the beginning of the cycle -it physically pains me
like
I hate admitting that the Ur-example of “vampire stupidly decides to constantly be in high school forever” is not actually that
and yet. it’s not.
I hate that I know the canon response to this
I didn’t pull the thing about them doing entire degree cycles out of thin air. That’s in the book. Their multiple college and grad school diplomas are framed on the wall of the house, and Edward talks to Bella when she first visits about how they do it this way so that they can stay in one place as long as possible.
As for their ages, I actually did look this up before writing the post – the oldest of the family when turned was Esme, at 26. Edward was the youngest at 17, Rosalie was 18, Emmett was 20, and Alice and Jasper were both 19. Carlisle was 23, and of course Bella was 18-almost-19
Gods help me
How the fuck is a 23 year old accepted as the dad to a bunch of teens? That’s like batman logic but worse
A man and a woman platonically raising a child together and not falling in love has to be the biggest plotwist in the Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves movie AND my favorite part
(@leupagus tags) And they’re both sexy people! And are shown to be sexually attracted to the opposite sex! Just not each other. They have a whole child together and live in the same home, and the movie makes it very clear that Edgin values her opinion above all others, and you never see that in media without the assumption of sex/romance.
Man in an office is holding a stunt safe foam rubber cinder block: This is a prop foam rubber cinder block, that way we can smack an actor with it, and it won’t kill him. [man throws the prop at his coworker’s head]. But if it DID kill him, I’d still get off scot-free
Coworker [off-screen]: How would you do that, Scott?
Scott: Because there’d be no concrete evidence.
Coworker: [throws foam rubber cinder-block at Scott’s head]
please note that for both impacts someone did foley work to make the foam brick go ‘bang!’
I was about to just reblog because it was already cool. The foley work is top notch though.
