Blast Magazine: Top 10 Twilight Series Moments
[SOURCE]
These are some of the greatest moments of Stephenie Meyer’s series. If you have not yet read “Breaking Dawn”, the fourth novel in the series, and do not want to read any spoilers, please do not continue reading this. If not, enjoy!

10 - The end of “Breaking Dawn”

“‘We have plenty of time to work on it,’ I reminded him.

‘Forever and forever and forever,’ he murmured.

‘That sounds exactly right to me.’

And then we continued blissfully into this small but perfect piece of our forever.”

9 - Bella and Edward’s first ever kiss from “Twilight”

“I couldn’t breathe.

He hesitated - not in the normal way, the human way.

Not the way a man might hesitate before he kissed a woman, to gauge her reaction, to see how he would be received. Perhaps he would hesitate to prolong the moment, that ideal moment of anticipation, sometimes better than the kiss itself.

Edward hesitated to test himself, to see if this was safe, to make sure he was still in control of his need.

And then his cold, marble lips pressed very softly against mine.”

8 - Jacob imprints from “Breaking Dawn”

“My jerking came to a stop; heat flooded through me, stronger than before, but it was a new kind of heat - not a burning.

It was a glowing.

Everything inside me came undone as I stared at the tiny porcelain face of the half-vampire, half-human baby. [...] The gravity of the earth no longer tied me to the place where I stood.

It was the baby girl in the blond vampire’s arms that held me here now.”

7 - The cliff jump in “New Moon”

“I smiled and raised my arms straight out, as if I were going to dive, lifting my face into the rain. But it was too ingrained from years of swimming at the public pool - feet first, first time. I leaned forward, crouching to get more spring…

And I flung myself from the cliff.”

6 - Bella first sees Edward in “Twilight”

“It was there, sitting in the lunchroom, trying to make conversation with seven curious strangers, that I first saw them.

They were sitting in the corner of the cafeteria, as far away from where I sat as possible in the long room. There were five of them. [...] The last was lanky, less bulky, with untidy, bronze-colored hair. He was more boyish than the others, who looked like they could be in college, or even teachers here rather than students.

[...]‘That’s Edward. He’s gorgeous, of course, but don’t waste your time. He doesn’t date. Apparently none of the girls here are good-looking enough for him.’ She sniffed, a clear case of sour grapes. I wondered when he’d turned her down.”

5 - The wedding from “Breaking Dawn”

“I didn’t realize I was crying until it was time to say the binding words.

‘I do,’ I managed to choke out in a nearly unintelligible whisper, blinking my eyes clear so I could see his face.

When it was his turn to speak, the words rang clear and victorious.

‘I do,’ he vowed.”

4 - Bella’s first kiss with Edward as a vampire in “Breaking Dawn”

“It was like he’d never kissed me - like this was our first kiss. And in truth, he’d never kissed me this way before.

It almost made me feel guilty. Surely I was in breach of the contract. I couldn’t be allowed to have this, too.”

3 - Bella punches Jacob in “Eclipse”

“Finally, he let go of my face and leaned away.

‘Are you done now?’ I asked in an expressionless voice.

‘Yes,’ he sighed. He started to smile, closing his eyes.

I pulled my arm back and then let it snap forward, punching him in the mouth with as much power as I could force out of my body.

There was a crunching sound.

‘Ow! OW!’ I screamed, frantically hopping up and down in agony while I clutched my hand to my chest. It was broken, I could feel it.

Jacob stared at me in shock. ‘Are you alright?’

‘No, dammit! You broke my hand!‘”

2 - The meadow scene from “Twilight”

“‘Isabella.’ He pronounced my full name carefully, then playfully ruffled my hair with his free hand. A shock ran through my body at his casual touch. ‘Bella, I couldn’t live with myself if I ever hurt you. You don’t know how it’s tortured me.’ [...] He lifted his glorious, agonized eyes to mine. ‘You are the most important thing to me now. The most important thing to me ever.’”

1 - The tent scene from “Eclipse”

“‘Please!’ Edward hissed. ‘Do you mind!’

‘What?’ Jacob whispered back, his tone surprised.

‘Do you think you could attempt to control your thoughts?’ Edward’s low whisper was furious.

‘No one said you had to listen,’ Jacob muttered, defiant, yet still embarrassed. ‘Get out of my head.’

‘I wish I could. You have no idea how loud your little fantasies are. It’s like you’re shouting them at me.’

‘I’ll try to keep it down,’ Jacob whispered sarcastically.”


======================================================

Agree or Disagree?

I find it interesting that they chose the tent scene as #1....
And there are SO MANY OTHER scenes that I THINK should be in this list but aren't:
THE MARRIAGE PROPOSAL SCENE?
PORT ANGELES? THE DATE? HOSPITAL SCENE?
VAMPIRE BASEBALL? ITALY?
ISLE OF ESME?!

But only TEN moments is so little...there are just way too many great moments in the Twilight series ^^

I do not agree with this mess at all. I'm not sure what my ~top ten~ moments are but everything from Breaking Dawn can be removed, for starters.

The tent scene is a weird one to have at number one (that particular bit especially).

Actually, this entire list is weird.

I know this is kind of weird but I really like the chapter 'The angel' [Twilight] it's always been my favorite moment.

Coming second to that would be 'Phone call' [Twilight]

And then it would be when Alice said '"He's gone to Italy'" [New Moon] I sat up so fast I head my head on the ceiling, and then began reading at 50 million mph =]


Love your icon that you posted with btw =]

I don't agree with most of these, I think.
I love the Cliff Jumping scene, because it's like the only part I ever like to read over and over again in New Moon... but the rest of them kinda threw me off.

Why was the end of Breaking Dawn number 10? It was better than say.. the imprinting scene, in my opinion. Because I just found the imprint kinda weird...

They could have put the "Compromise" chapter up from Eclipse. Replace the "Tent Scene" with that. Geesh.

Very, very strange list.

Oh, I agree. Bella turning in to a vampire should have definitely been there, somewhere.
It's been built up since the beginning. Guh.

Yeah, the list's jumbled up or straight up omitting some good stuff. IA with above poster who mentioned about Bella as a vampire. What the hey? Sure, that tent part was Funny.....but it's certainly not number #1. I'm confused by this list.

[info]mllesinistre

Nope. Sorry, don't agree at all.

FOUR moments from Breaking Dawn! Are you kidding me?

Where the hell is the scene where Bella runs across the square and through the fountain in Volterra? I had no nails left after reading that scene.

And when Edward proposed? Come on!

totally agree with the tent scene as #1

[info]doddyland

Tent scene as #1??? How weird...
Many scenes are missing as far as I'm concerned... Where is Volterra? The first night after Italy? The first night at the cottage? Port Angeles?
Well, I understand this is very subjective...

I agree with some of the breaking dawn moments to be in there.. but cliff diving?! Wth?! Were is all the Bella and Edward magic we love! =D

(Reply to this)


[info]snaprebelx
2008-08-18 09:40 am UTC (link)
But.....what about where Edward finally gets to see into Bella's mind? Shouldnt that be on there SOMEWHERE?

[info]moogledaime

Jacob's imprint scene should not be there at all. It's one of the worst ever. And also the cliff diving? Really!? First supernatural pedophilia and then almost-suicide? o_O Are you serious?

Where's the scene where Edward thinks they're dead and in heaven in Italy?

As creepy as I think Nessie is, Bella and Edward's goodbye scene to her and Jacob was emotional. Edward calling Jacob his son really really weirded me out, but Esme's actions after that was touching and Garrett was amusing.

The Anti-Christ's birth could make the list on gross factor alone.

Jacob's ascension to Alpha.

The marriage proposal and ceremony, however short it was.

That scene in Eclipse where Bella is petting wolf Jacob like a dog ~ very cute.

Alice and Jasper's 'battle' in front of the Cullens and the werewolves.

Bella and Emmett arm wrestling!

Jacob throwing his doggy bowl at Rosalie.

... and those are just the ones I can think of without worrying about grammar or spelling.

So basically everything from BD can gtfo the list rite nao please.

I think that the Tent Scene definitely deserves to be on the list. Maybe not as number 1, but somewhere in the top ten. Because it really shows both of the guys for who they are, and it was just...just a really good scene. <3

But seriously, where the mess is the Port Angeles scene? That was one of my favorites.

I don't think that the tent scene should be #1 but, if it wasn't for this,
I would've forgotten about it anyway. And how Jacob's 'little fantasies' were actually funny. :D

ia. i liked the tent scene, it was one of my favourites in 'eclipse' because, as team switzerland, i was squeeing the whole way through. the tension was just palpable, heaps more dramz than other parts of the book. but def didn't deserve no.1.

Okay, so as far as the tent scene is concerned, I was a lot more amused when Edward tells Jacob how if he had been him the night before, cuddling with Bella to keep her warm, it still wouldn't have been on his list of top ten nights or something to that effect.

And why the HELL is Edward's line about his life being a moonless night without Bella around not on here, because it is the single most romantic thing I have ever read in a piece of YA fiction, damnit!

I am not pleased. And Jacob imprinting should definitely not be on here. And I agree that running across Volterra definitely should (or even trying to get out of Volterra as they ushered in dinner...)

So many things, so many things.

Ugh.
At times it feels like i'm the only person who HATES the tent scene.
It made me cringe, and i felt so completely sorry for Edward.
It was not funny, or amusing, or one of the best moments.
At all.

Yet, people seem to love that scene...
Blah.

WTF.

Where is the Isle of Esme?
The 'sex' scene? (If you can even call it that)

And where the HALE is Volterra?
That is one of my favorite parts ever!
