I was a heavy heart to carry, but he never let me down.
Top 5 scenes in Eclipse. My favourite JB scenes, or, the ones long enough for a picspam. The quality is sucky, sorry. Will not launch into a rant, but the J/B in the movies makes me both happy and sad. Happy cuz, its undeniable that Jacob was better for Bella, and it comes across very clearly in the movies. And sad, cuz, equally undeniable is the fact that Bella didnt deserve Jacob.
Anyway, they are still the best, and real thing in these poorly written books. And this is where it ends for me. For us. With Eclipse.
You would do anything - be anything. For her.
"It's like, when you see her... everything changes. Suddenly, its not gravity holding you to the planet anymore. It's her.
Nothing else matters. You would do anything, be anything. For her.
It sounds like you know the feeling. Have you.. imprinted on someone?
You'd know if I had. I just have a direct line to Sam's thoughts.
So for now, you're still you.
And you're still you.
What I liked:
- The intensity. He was SO talking about how he felt for her, how he'd do anything, be anything, for her.
- The You're still you... bits. At least they know that after Bella turns into the vampire, and Jake imprints, they wont be the same people anymore, they wont be Jake and Bells. :(
- Angry!Jake UNF!
What I didnt:
- Jacob's apology at the end. WTF why!
- Taylor's overacting and over-pronunciation. Might be the only scene where I felt he went overboard.
- Zombie!Bella. Really, KStew!
- "Edward was right, I shouldnt have come!" Ugh.
What I missed:
- “But I’ll never see anyone else, Bella. I only see you. Even when I close my eyes and try to see something else." ♥
- “To Washington’s little Taj Mahal.” Seriously, in these movies, a montage is ALL we got of happy JB?
I'm gonna fight for you. Until your heart stops beating.
"I just wanted to do this differently. Smoother. But now I'm out of time.
Do what?
You need to hear the truth, Bella, understand all your options. And you need to know that I'm in love with you. And I want you to choose me instead of him.
I thought you understood. I dont feel that way about you.
I dont buy it.
What dont you buy? That's how I feel.
You feel something else for me You just wont admit it. So I'm not giving up. I'm gonna fight for you. Until your heart stops beating.
Then you're not gonna have to fight long...
...you're rushing into it because you're afraid you'll change your mind!
No, I'm not, I know what I want.
You wouldnt have to change for me, Bella. Or say goodbye to anybody. I can give you more than him. I mean, he probably cant even kiss you without hurting you.
Feel that? Flesh and blood and warmth...
What I liked:
- How it was done. The kiss in the books made me nervous, its very easy to misunderstand Jake then, but in the movie, his motivations are pretty clear.
- Jake's dreamy face after he kisses her. And that hint of a smirk.
What I didnt:
- KStew's inability to act and sound like she's in pain. Her fake scream made me LOL.
- Cold!Bella. I know, in the movie, they've tried to give her a backbone and made her sassy and shit, but honestly, she comes across as hardheaded and heartless.
What I missed:
- “You love me, too,” he reminded me. He held up his hand when I started to protest. “Not the same way, I know. But he’s not your whole life, either. Not anymore. Maybe he was once, but he left. And now he’s just going to have to deal with the consequence of that choice - me.” But of course this couldnt be there. How could they dare insinuate that Edward wasnt Bella's whole life.
- “I hate you, Jacob Black.”
“That’s good. Hate is a passionate emotion.”
“I’ll give you passionate,” I muttered under my breath. “Murder, the ultimate crime of passion.”
“Oh, c’mon,” he said, all cheery and looking like he was about to start whistling again. “That had to be better than kissing a rock.” WHERE WAS THIS COCKY JACOB?!!
I can sense how I make you feel. Physically. I make you nervous.
"...But every choice has consequences. Some more than others.
Dont start. Everybody makes choices. You're gonna have to accpet mine.
You can love more than one person at a time. I've seen it, with Sam, Emily and Leah...
I'm not a wolf, I cant imprint...
It's got nothing to with imprinting. I got to do with feeling something for somebody. And I know you feel something for me. I can sense how I make you feel.Physically. I make you nervous.
....Jake.
Dont worry, I promised I wouldnt kiss you again till you asked.
You're gonna be keeping that promise for a while, Chief.
What I liked:
- Taylor. There are instances where he is so completelyJacob, my heart soars.
- A light-hearted JB moment. Kinda. Finally.
- Bella sounding impressed and proud of Jacob, calling him "Chief Jacob".
- A little thing, but the way he says "Or dont you care about my safety?" when he asks if Bella was going to ask him to sit out of the fight too.
What I didnt:
- There wasnt enough of Bella worrying about Jake, in the books, she angsts about it A LOT.
- Again, too much talk about the wolfpack, imprinting, Sam/Emily/Leah, not enough about them.
What I missed:
- Flirting. Jake was having a lot of fun, making Bella uncomfortable in this scene. They made everything too SRS BSNS. The bit where he asks her to "play the field" a little, and tells her that she could kiss him, cuz he wouldnt mind if she used him, to experiment. LOL.
- I loved their conversation in this scene in the books, there is so much the left out. But this was one of my favourite bits, sweet, emotional and then, poignant.
"...But the whole time you’re gone, I’ll be sick with worry, Jake. Crazy with it.”
“Why?” he asked gruffly. “Why does it matter to you if something happens to me?”
“Don’t say that. You know how much you mean to me. I’m sorry it’s not in the way you want, but that’s just how it is. You’re my best friend. At least, you used to be. And still sometimes are... when you let your guard down.”
He smiled the old smile that I loved. “I’m always that,” he promised. “Even when I don’t... behave as well as I should. Underneath, I’m always in here.”
“I know. Why else would I put up with all of your crap?”
He laughed with me, and then his eyes were sad. “When are you finally going to figure out that you’re in love with me, too?” (brb bawling!)
Jacob! Kiss me.
OMFGASDFGHJKLOMFG!!!
" No! - Jake, just stay.
Why? Give me one good reason.
Because I dont wanna lose you.
Not good enough.
Because you are too important.
Still not good enough.
Jacob! Kiss me. Im asking you... to kiss me.
~One minute of pure love and heat and perfection. The one minute we all watched the movie for~
That should have been our first kiss.
What I liked:
- Some emotion from KStew. Finally.
- ASDFGHJKL TEH KISS OMG.
- The second soft kiss. The way he cups her face, the tenderness, ugh, slayed me!
- Hair-grabbing, fuck. Both of them breathless, after.
What I didnt:
- PFTTTT.
What I missed:
- THE VISION! How does this movie make any sense without it? They cant stop talking about "teh choice", and yet leave out something so integral to Bella's conflict? If not for JB, then they shouldve included it for EB, cuz didnt SMeyer say that thats what made EB ~epic, cuz Bella gave up so much for Edward... they never showed us just what! But yeah, had they included it, Bella's phony little retarded speech at the end, wouldnt have made any sense,(not that it did anyway) cuz Bella wanted to live, she wanted to grow old, she wanted a family, but all with Jacob! And where is SMeyer when they are messing her books up?! Showing up to perv and watch Taylor and Kris, kiss, is not enough!
- Strangely, the manipulation. I kinda liked how Jake played her there. Yeah, Im twisted.
- That distinct moment when Bella stops resisting, and gives in, and kisses him back.
- More tongue. Im sorry, the kiss is scorching in my head, there was more action in the books.
It would be, as easy as breathing, with me.
" Bella, he's not as perfect as you think.
I know who he is.... Can we not talk about this.
I'd rather get all the re-breaking done at once. Well, at least I know I did everything I could. Wasn't easy getting you to admit your feelings for me.
I only fought them 'cause I knew they wouldnt change anything.
I'm exactly right for you, Bella. It would be as easy as breathing, with me.
You know I love you.
You know how much I wish it was enough. (Brb bawling forever)
Should I come back?
I.. need some time. But I'll always be waiting.
Until my heart stops beating.
Maybe even then.
What I liked:
- Taylor. Fuck. Im not kidding, if its possible to ship JB in the movies, its cuz of this boy. KStew gives nothing, its ALL him.
- ~east as breathing~ We got something!
- That one tear escaping from the corner of Jake's eye. Yeah, thats when I cried.
- Did I mention Taylor?
What I didnt:
- NO TEARS! SRSLY, SOME EMOTION, KRISTEN! PLEASE! She has killed all my love for Bella. Watching her all stoic and blank, killed me!
- They butchered this scene. This chapter made me BAWL when I read it. I hated how short and unmoving it was, in the movies. FU Rosenberg.
What I missed:
- Where do I start! All the epic lines, GONE! My favourite one - "How can we be friends, when we love each other like this?”
- The drug/sun comparison, the bit where Bella likens her non-choice to Sam/Emily.
- Bella describing the life she saw with him. "I saw the whole thing - our whole life. And I want it bad, Jake, I want it all. I want to stay right here and never move. I want to love you and make you happy. And I can’t, and it’s killing me."
- Bella lying down on the bed with Jake. Jake kissing her head. Bella kissing his face. Basically, the touching. Its a very significant part of the JB dynamic.
- Tears. God. Bella was a fucking mess. Almost the entire last half of the book, and most of it was cuz of Jacob. Where was Bella sobbing in her car, craving for ~a different set of arms~ when Edward held her. Where was the remorse, the pain, the anguish?
Stopping before this turns into a rant. I hated the movie. Kris let me down. Taylor made everyone else look pathetic. I liked New Moon better. For the first time, Im sad to be a JB shipper, cuz Bella SO doesnt deserve Jacob. And this is coming from someone who's always been more of a JB shipper, than a Jacob fan, who tolerated Bella only cuz Jake loved her. Now if only I could wipe off the movies from my head. Will cling to canon forever! And we thought we got cheated in the books!
