i heard that stephanie never intended to make jacob a love interest. he was actually not supposed to appear as a minor character who had a crush on bella. she intended him as a background character to further the plot of bella finding out about vampires.
but her publishers liked the idea of a love triangle and hated how she originally wrote Breaking Dawn to directly follow after Twilight.
So basically, we had to suffer through Eclipse!Jacob because Stephanie Meyer can’t make reasonable relationship timelines or write smut for shit.
I love how they tried so hard to get us to fight over Team Jacob vs Team Edward
Bella was never gonna choose Jacob. She was OBSESSED with Edward lmao
Like I'm a Jacob lover and I never ever thought it would be him. Miss Bella was insane for the dead guy.
