people irl often don’t believe me when i say that edward is a redhead and every single time i get into this argument i have to pull up proof in the form of official illustrations and just the overwhelming abundance of pre-movie fanart of him with orange hair. (i often forget that a lot of people never got exposed to that early fandom, book-centric content that i was neck deep in back during the heyday of the fandom.) stephenie can call it “bronze” all she wants and everyone is free to interpret that as they wish, but when you google “bronze color” this is what comes up:
and if you saw a person with hair that color you would absolutely call them a redhead. this has been a psa
Yes! Thank you! She refers to his hair most often as bronze. She has also called it reddish brown, and auburn and I think that confuses people? And in certain lightings bronze does look brown. But if you compare literal bronze to actual “redhead” hair it’s pretty similar. I put this together a few months ago as a personal reference (sorry, I hope you don’t mind me adding to your post):
Here’s a (not entirely complete) theory: every person imprinted on has had ties to the tribe, Nessie being the only exception (that I know of). There’s something about her that caused Jacob to imprint on her when normally he wouldn’t have? Perhaps the same something that causes nearly everyone else she comes into contact with to become so quickly enamored with her.
@jessicanjpa said: Well, there WAS a Swan in one of those family trees…
wHAt what…. WHAT WHAAAAAT?! where?!
So yeah Molly Swan was Old Quil’s wife. (Son of Quil II, who met the Cullens in 1936)
It may not mean anything other than the idea that the Swans have been in the area for a long time and have always been close to the Quileutes, and Molly might not even have been related to Charlie’s grandparents at all… but this is the Twilight Universe of Amazing Coincidences, soooo… And I always assumed Quil was 100% Quileute which would mean Molly herself was too?
Anyway, this could be the basis for those shifter!Bella fics, but I’m not sure about that.
