What We Do Know: Part 46

Haven’t you noticed yet, Bella, that Edward is just the teeniest bit prone to overreaction?
-Alice

It's prone to overreaction. So. Watch out.

Let’s Talk for a Minute about Carlisle’s Wardrobe

Is there a rule that Carlisle has to wear a cardigan and/or some sort of neck ornament if he isn't wearing his lab coat?


Is that supposed to make him look old enough to have teenage foster kids? Because it just makes him look like a douchebag.

And he dresses this way when he is at home alone with his family! I can understand misguided attempts to fool the humans into thinking he's old--creating the illusion of a middle aged fatherly type. But at home?


Again, I have to ask. Alice? Hellooooo? Are you the one responsible for Carlisle's wardrobe? What are you thinking?

Sidebar: Why bother casting really hot Cullen men if you are just going to douse them with powdered sugar and lipstick (omg that's so hot) and awful unnatural hair colors or wigs? Are you trying to make them less attractive than Edward? Because I would kind of be ok with it if they were all equally attractive.

Sidebar #2: Could someone please hurry up and cast this man in a Jane Austen movie? He doesn't even have to learn a British accent. He doesn't have to speak at all. He can just alternate between an eye twinkle and general smoldering. Maybe even in a more natural hair color.

It's Rhetorical: Do Vampires Have Scent Glands?

Possibly.

But they evidently don't need them in order to mark their territory, before their territory goes off to play with her werewolf friend:

[Edward] smiled, and then a sly look came into his eye. He pulled me close, burying his face in my hair. I could feel his cool breath saturate the strands as he exhaled; it raised goose bumps on my neck. "I'll be right back," he said, and then he laughed aloud as if I'd just told a good joke.

"Mine! (chuckle chuckle)"

Oh Edward, you sneaky possessive-compulsive little thing! I mean really. Who is the dog and who is the vampire?

The New Moon Vision Alice Shows Aro

Oh, COME ON Alice! For the love of Edward!

Why do we get latter-day virgin as Bella's first romp as a vampire? Why?

Why this?

And not this?

This is clearly two fashion-forward vamps in a dark, soulless meadow. Just add sparkle!

Isn't Alice supposed to be on the cutting edge? More Paris runway than Little House on the Prairie? More leather and stiletto than khaki and virginal white?

Oh, Alice.

"You’re intoxicated by my very presence."


It's intoxicating.

What We Do Know: Part 44

"Edward in the sunlight was shocking. I couldn’t get used to it, though I’d been staring at him all afternoon"It's shocking!

That is What She Said and That is What He Said

"It's so pretty, " I murmured to myself, surprised.

"Do you like it?"
"It's beautiful." I shrugged, feigning a lack of interest. "What's not to like."
He chuckled. "See if it fits."
