I like to think about Camp Half Blood and how its probably full of old hidden kid structures
It's an ancient sacred valley, that has trained and housed children for thousands of years, many of those kids coming from artisan backgrounds and gods. Kids build things, kids make forts and rope swings and tree houses. Kids need hidy holes and pretend play boxes and secrets.
I like to think about walking in the CHB woods, off the trail in a place you think dryads have only ever been to. And then you come to this tree with wooden planks nailed to it. You look up into this old oak and above you is a few more boards, just enough to make good seating hidden in the branches. There are initials carved in the bark, no one you recognize, and doodles on the boards. You don't know who built it or when, was it put up last year or fifty years ago, but someone dragged 2x4s miles and miles through the trees and made a place just for them. Your reminded that this place has always been here, that so many half-bloods have come and gone, but all throughout the valley there are still echoes of them
âI was hereâ says the little jerry-rigged bridge over the creek, âI matteredâ says the rope swing into the lake, âEven if I'm forgottenâ says the crumbling fort in the woods, âI left something behindâ says the initials in the tree
i think about this picture every day

Do any of the Cullens actually care about Bella? Short answer: no. But itâs a little more complicated than that, and it varies by each of them. They donât care about her in the way weâre led to believe, or even the way Bella believes they do. Instead, they care about her only insofar as she serves their interests. From the moment Bella enters their orbit, sheâs a demonstration of how little the Cullens actually value human life.
The text makes this clear, and Midnight Sun outright spells it out: the Cullens are inherently selfish. Human life is disposable to them. The difference between them and other vampires is that they cosplay as humans, pretending to care while masking their predatory nature. Weâre supposed to think theyâre âbetterâ than regular vampires, but theyâre not. And honestly? Thatâs what makes them creepy. None of them cared about Bella as a person. Most of them were fine with her being killed if it came to that.
Edward sums this up perfectly in Midnight Sun when he considers what everyone would think if he drained Bella. Rosalie and Jasper wouldnât careâif anything, theyâd feel smug for being right about Edwardâs inability to resist. Esmeâs concern would be for Edwardâs well-being, not Bellaâs life. Carlisle would be disappointed but ultimately forgiving. Emmett? Heâd shrug it off. Alice might be upset about losing a potential friend, but even thatâs questionable. None of them cared enough to oppose the idea strongly; they were just going along with what suited them.
Rosalie, in particular, gets villainized for not liking Bella, but sheâs not any worse than the others. The difference is that Rosalie doesnât lie about her indifference. She doesnât play mind games or pretend to care. She wasnât plotting against Bella she just didnât want Edwardâs fixation to endanger the family. Jasper and Emmett, on the other hand, were fine with Edward killing Bella. Rosalie only got involved when Edward started implicating them in his reckless behavior. Even then, she relented when Carlisle insisted they play nice.
Esme, meanwhile, cared more about Edwardâs happiness than Bellaâs life. If killing Bella made Edward happy, Esme wouldâve supported it. If dating her and dooming her to vampirism made Edward happy, Esme welcomed her. Alice? Alice was less concerned about Bella as a person and more about the idea of her as a new âfriendâ and human Barbie doll. She orchestrated the relationship, fully aware of the danger Bella faced, because she wanted Bella close. She doesnât care about Bellaâs safety; she cares about her own desires.
Jasper? He doesnât care about Bella as a person. To him, sheâs a tantalizing temptation a challenge to overcome and a new ear to hear his Civil War stories. Emmett? Heâs just along for the ride. He didnât think twice about Bella until the family decided to include her. Then she became âEdwardâs human,â and that was that. Carlisle? He cared about Bella in the abstract as an innocent girl who didnât âdeserveâ to die but his actions show his selfishness. He made vampires without their consent, knowing theyâd kill humans, and let Edward pursue Bella, fully aware of the danger. Carlisleâs priority has always been maintaining his moral high ground while indulging his familyâs selfish desires.
Ultimately, none of the Cullens cared about Bella beyond what she represented to them: Edwardâs pet project, Aliceâs new toy, or Carlisleâs opportunity to preach about self-control. They proved this when they abandoned her without a second thought, leaving her unprotected from the supernatural chaos they brought into her life just because Edward said so.
Theyâre selfish, manipulative predators who pretend to be human for their own twisted reasons. They donât care about humans, and Bella was no exception. The outrage over Rosalieâs indifference feels hypocritical when none of the Cullens actually cared about Bella either. At least Rosalie was honest about it. She didnât have a vendetta against Bella she was just upfront about her priorities. Compared to the others, Rosalieâs selfishness is almost refreshing.
Which brings us to the next natural question: does Edward care about Bella? Spoiler: no. He thinks he does, and weâre supposed to believe he does, but thatâs a whole other can of worms. In conclusion, no, the Cullens donât care about Bella not as a person. She was never more than a convenient object of their desires, and thatâs the unsettling truth at the heart of their âfamily dynamic.â
