Thick fog was all I could see out my window in the morning, and I could feel the claustrophobia creeping up on me. You could never see the sky here; it was like a cage.
- Bella Swan
Get behind me, fandom-maligned female character, I will defend you from the mischaracterization and media illiteracy with my life
idk man, every time I see a post about how jacob was better for bella, how he accepted and understood her exactly how she was, how he could have made her so happy... i don't know how to say "yes! this is totally correct! but also missing the whole point."
the fact that bella had another option for happiness (where she wouldn't have to sacrifice anything or change herself at all) but STILL CHOSE EDWARD ANYWAY is meant to lend more significance to her decision, not to demonstrate that she somehow chose incorrectly. bella knows she has the potential to become something greater than what she is by becoming a vampire. she also knows that SHE can't make JACOB happy because she will never stop thinking about what could have been with edward. and i think this was what stephenie was trying to say with the HEA in breaking dawn.
it's not that team jacob is wrong, it's that the whole jacob/bella relationship was designed specifically to be a tragedy. stories have themes – it's not just about rewarding whichever character is the least problematic. i agree that stephenie communicated this theme really poorly, but this is how i've always personally interpreted eclipse. jacob deserved better than what he got, but he also deserved better than being bella's second choice.

Love both with all heart! So true OP. I will protect Bella till my last breath 😌
people who complain that bella swan isn't girly enough, or extroverted enough, or tough enough, or that she should have wanted to live a normal life and go to college, or that she should've realized her relationship with edward wasn't good for her, or that she should've been more upset that so much of her life was ruined by vampires....... have you seen buffy the vampire slayer? because you're describing buffy the vampire slayer
