edward sucks because he's so ineffectual and he never does anything. i read wuthering heights for the first time last year and heathcliff owns because he's completely loving mad and just on a constant crusade to destroy the lives of literally everyone around him except the one person he can tolerate, who's also completely loving mad. all the other characters would be having nice normal lives if he weren't there, he drives the whole plot with nothing but pure irrational spite and an inability to let things go, ever, until everybody who's ever wronged him in any way is dead. it's great. meanwhile edward just mopes and occasionally runs really fast. it makes the hosed-up stuff like sabotaging bella's car all the more jarring because those are like the only times he ever really shows any agency or personality, when he's being a lovely controlling boyfriend. whereas heathcliff is a nutcase from beginning to end so by the time you get to the eleventh or twelfth awful thing he does you're just like lol that's our boy

Also while I’ve read little of EL James’ stuff, something many people have noted is that the writing by Meyer is far more competent outside the rape.
i'm quite liking the actual style of the excerpts, the content is another matter but meyer is not bad at setting a scene

thank you for doing this, i never got around to reading those drat books so it's enlightening!

Robert Pattinson was threatened with firing for playing Edward as too sullen and angry, so they sent him a copy of the book with every case of Edward smiling highlighted. He sent the book back with every case of him scowling highlighted. Power move.
this is hilarious
