Twilight is one of those films that changed the trajectory of my life. Not because of the killer soundtracks or brooding scenes dimly lit in dreary Washington State. But casting a pale, 5’11” Robert Pattison as the blood sucking (yes daddy, I see you) Edward Cullen… pre-teen Jak was swooning. I remember the first time I watched Twilight and got the everfeared wave of guilt as I fell deeply in love with the polarising flick. I wanted to be a vampire and that had everything to do with Edward and his fine ass. Whether or not you were on Team Jacob or Team Edward shouldn’t disparage you as a person, but if you’re the former than you’re into bestiality. There’s no arguments there. You’re into dogs. Sure there’s definitely a like-minded argument of fucking a corpse but hey, at least they’re still human.

The Twilight Saga provides a hell of a love triangle as well as supernatural creatures, battles, teenage angst, and so on. The love triangle between Bella, Edward, and Jacob was certainly one of the biggest draws in the series. So, how do you choose between an immortal teenage vampire who will never age past seventeen whose stalker tendencies are mistaken for romantic gestures and a muscley motorcycle-riding werewolf who will keep you warm in the middle of a snowstorm but could rip off your face because he’s so full of passionate anger? Easy - you pick Jacob, the muscly, fun-loving werewolf. Side note: Picking Edward over Jacob is the equivalent of picking cats over dogs. It’s just not fuckin’ right.

I get that he abandoned Bella in New Moon, the spinning shot of her sinking depression is anecdotal evidence, but he came back. It’s a piss poor argument. My psych would probably equate my willingness to forgive abandonment as a direct result of daddy issues, but it doesn’t diminish any of my allure towards that cold, chiseled man of stone. I like to think that Edward was helping Bella form boundaries and grow. Like come on homegirl, ever heard of co-indepence? This is for Edward directly. My love language ain’t quality time, physical touch or acts of service papi.

I’m not falling for Edward‘s wimpy, sad-eyed immortality. Edward is a 100-plus-year-old man hooking-up with a high school junior and he has this shitty habit of showing up all the time. Edward’s control over Bella extends to every facet of her life. Um, major red flag! Plus, he decides how far they go physically, because if she pushes him too far he could “lose control” and “hurt her”. Or in simpler terms, he could ‘sex her to death’. Certainly not the worst way to go out. Edward even strong-arms Bella into marrying him before they have sex and turning her into a vampire. Oh hell no.

On that note, Jacob is the epitome of “clingy boyfriend who is kinda, lowkey abusive”. Not to mention that he gaslights Bella with the sole intention of winning her over. My pale papi would never. Edward’s goal was always, and will always be, keep Bella safe. Jacob’s? Lemme pipe. And Edward’s dick game is bomb for sure. Brother fully plowed her through the wall. Sheesh.

Moreover, Jacob is everything Bella needs. He makes her laugh and even supports her through a major depressive episode. You know, the one when Edward fully ghosts her and leaves her to completely unwind and sleep in a forest for a bit. Jacob is loyal, passionate and did I mention he’s alive? He’s got that actually-a-human-being thing going for him, and he wants what’s best for Bella. That is, keeping her alive - not letting her spend a “perfect” eternity with her undead crush.

Ultimately there’s positives and negatives to both sides. Jacob may very well be a tanned, ethinic king. But Edward can give me something that Jacob can’t. Personal space. Jacob also fell in love with an infant… eek. Okay Jeffrey Epstein.

And how could you turn down the line, “Bella where the hell have you been, loca?”
