Antarctica All the way….would be my usual answer.
But since rereading the books, and realising how much I actually dislike Jacob in Eclipse, and alot of New Moon, I think I’m actually gravitating towards Team Edward :O
[…] the original post on Twilight Series Theories Share and Enjoy: These icons link to social bookmarking sites where readers can share and […]
To the end Team EDWARD!!!!!!!!!!! I still like Jacob but I think edward and bella have a greater love between them but my mom (who has never read the books!) thinks that Bella is going to pick Jacob because its always the one who gets under your skin. I’m still rooting for Edward. 🙂
TEAM EDWARD most definately. but seriously, why is this debate going on? Bella’s kind of already made her choice and its so obvious her and Edward are made for each other. Jacob may be in love with Bella too, but most normal people fall in love more than once in their life and are often happier that they didn’t choose the first person they fell in love with.
then again, Bella’s no ‘normal people’ so keep debating if you wish 🙂
whoops i mean Jacob’s no ‘normal people 😛
TEAM JACOB!!!! I also agree that Edward and Bella are purrrfect for eachother and have a great love connection, but c’mon… Jacob is really sweet and it’s not his fault his temper is hard to control-He’s a werewolf! (That is also not his fault.) Jacob is also incredibly nice, and sometimes he’s misapprehended by Bella and he her (when he kissed her) I love Edward and everything but Jacob is soooo amazing! HE”S A FREAKIN WOLF!!! name 1 thing (bsides vampires) that is cooler that that! LOLZ
TEAM JACOB!!!!
Edward is stupid….he is super controlling, overprotectice, and has NO PERSONALITY AT ALL!
Jacob is funny, strong, cool, HOT!, and he let’s bella live her life and have a good time.
Jacob+Bella=LOVE
Edward+Bella=OBSESSION
GET IT STRAIGHT
……sorry if i sound mean….i don’t mean to!
TEAM JACOB!
listen to raven! shes right.
haha
edward doesnt have a personality. i mean sure hes all perfect and stuff, but who doesnt agree that perfect gets boring really fast. Its good to have your imperfections.
Jacob is funny, sarcastic, funny, nice, adorible, grows out his hair super long just because he knows bella likes it more that way, and just plain better
and youd think that edward would put up a fight for bella, but nope. he just said that hed let her do whatever she wants to do. to pick him or jacob. it may be that hes “being the better person” but i dont think thats the case.
and id prefer my guy with a pulse thank you very much. haha.
=]
TEAM uhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Edward? Jacob? theyre both rly rly sweet and i think even tho edward is over protective and not as interesting (cough cough raven and lisa) but hes still rly rly sweet and if uve read twilight then u kno wat i mean…
but jacobs rly nice and he loves bella and hes a bit more fun than edward (no offense but)
sooo, im not rly sure…..
TEAM EDWARD!!!!He is so much better than Jacob..
Jacob just saved her from depression..Edward loves and cares about Bella..Edward protects Bella from everthing and would never let anything happen to her…Edward left so she would not get hurt from any other vampires or himself..Jacob has done nothing but get her out of depression…There is no reason to go on team Jacob because he did nothing… Dure
it’s hard to decide. i keep going back and forth. they both have very endearing qualities. and i can’t tell if in the end she will wind up with edward, or do the more human think and wind up with jacob…perhaps she’ll be turned into a vampire and then end up with jacob the werewolf. who knows. can’t wait for the new book though.
GO TEAM EDWARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DOWN WITH TEAM JACOB
Edward- hot ,caring ,sweet, protective ,loving, and loves bella more than anything and would never try to hurt her, and selfless
Jacob-ugly mean rude selfish not caring
All of youwho luv jacob and bella toether better get a reality check becuz jake would never pick bella over his pack so that just makes him a loser unlike edward who would give up anything even his life for bella.
Edward+Bella=true conpastion, love for each other
Jake+Bella= disaster, love that will never be
DEFINITELY TEAM EDWARD!
i would be SO mad, if she picked jacob. i was like fuming when she liked jacob kissing her! edward’s so much betterrrr. and i mean sure it’s alright to be human and have kids or whatever but he’s also a werewolf and there’s also a chance he’ll do what sam did to emily? i think. i always saw jacob as her best friend sure but i think he should just squash the whole love of his life thing. and i will be SO MAD! if stephanie meyer tries to “imprint” bella for jacob. GAH! i’d probably throw a tantrum.
edward is too good. he’s unexplainable. and sorry for the bluntness of what i’m about to say but CANNOT WAIT UNTIL THEY GET DOWN, if ya know what i’m sayin’. (:
TEAM EDWARD!!!!!!!!!!
ugh, Bella loves Edward so much more! I mean, yeah, Jacob helbed her and is a good friend and everything, but he has a crush on her (maybe more than that) but who cares. gaa. Obviously part of the theme in these books is ledgends being true and stuff (including the imprinting)…so my point is that Jacob DIDD’NT imprint on Bella. How Unfair would it be if Bella left edward and then Jake ended up leaving her when he saw some other girl. I mean c’mon, Stephinie Meyer (i hope) wouldnt do that, its just (grr) sickining lol.
TEAM EDWARD!!!!
another point for all the Team Jacobs out there is that Edward cant help that hes perfect, der. and Bella looks past all that anyways.
So Jake can just run off and find someone else, hmph. hehe =]
OMG. TEAM JACOB!
I’m getting so sick of all you team edward people bashing all of us team jacob fans. We all know at Bella chooses Edward. So stop freaking out at us for loving Jacob.
We understand that the choice has been made, we’re not retarded. We just know we would choose differently despite some of the problems that may arise from that choice. We see where you are coming from, so try to see where we are coming from. You know, I wasn’t always a team Jacob. I wasn’t. I was team edward. but when he gave bella the bracelet and said, “Well, I figured that maybe it would make you remember me once in a while. You know how it is, out of sight, out of mind.” When I read that, I felt so bad for him. Because at that point, despite him having told her how much he loves her, he know he wouldn’t win the fight. He knew!!! He knew all along that no matter what he did, he would never win her over. Jacob fans are sad about that fact but, come on, give us a break. We’re allowed to pick and choose characters to feel for. I feel bad for Jacob because no one should have to feel the pain of a broken heart.
I know ALL of us were shocked at the Jacob/Bella kiss. But that was another reason I choose Jake over Edward. Bella saw her life if she were to pick Jacob. She would grow old with him and have children; and she wanted that so much. She even admitted it when she said;
“The worst part is that 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 its killing me.Its like Sam and Emily, Jake- I never had a choice. I always kn.ew nothing would change. Maybe that’s why I was fighting against you so hard.”
Through that, Jacob fans know that they won’t win. But some part in Bella still longs for Jake. If you’ve read the first chapter of breaking dawn that came in the SE eclipse, you know what I’m talking about….Us Jacob fans just what what’s best. We want Bella to be happy. And if that means being with Edward, that’s fine. But Jacob is still in her heart. No matter what…
I’m still Team Jacob….
I want her to write an alternate ending because I agree with shelby, its highly doubtful Bella will go back to Jacob (even though he is 8768654 times better for her)
Bella and Edward just feel wrong – its obssession not love on bellas part – honestly i think it makes her seem pathetic – because if she would quit being a drama queen for 2 seconds she would realize that yes … it IS physically possible to continue living without edward. she was already starting to recover the last time and then he just HAD to come back and ruin everything, ugh.
also, i think the reason we havent really seen a personality from edward is because he and bella have very little in common – hes almost 100! say what you want about staying young forever but ive never met a 90 something year old that i honestly can relate to
Jacob is her age, they grew up in the same generation and they fit together perfectly and naturally
Bella and Edward spend more time fighting each other and the sircumstances surrounding thier relationship then they do actually having one!
besides, on a cold night, who would honestly rather cuddle up to an ice cube than a space heater???
Oh! and i think the reason Bella is so obssessed has to do with the way vampires are attractive to their prey (humans!)
Edward is genetically engeneered to appeal to her on some strange level – thats not love
its creepy vampire science … poor jacob 🙁
I have definately gone back and forth on this issue. And yes I know that (as of now) Bella has chosen Edward. I still think that I would have to go with Jacob.
Stephenie has even confirmed that the wedding takes place in Breaking Dawn… so Team Edward, you have made your point very clear. I still think that Jacob is the healthier life choice overall.
Jacob is fun-loving, has a cute boyish charm, would never dream of leaving her (even if that was for her own protection), is still good looking, and would allow her to remain human. I would definately call that a perk.
No matter what all you Tean Edward fans say, I think that Breaking Dawn is going to the dogs!!!!!! GO TEAM JACOB!
Obviously, Team Jacob.
I understand the Team Edwards. I was a Team Edward before I was aware that there were teams. But then, that was before I read New Moon.
Okay, who doesn’t love a vampire? Really, when I think of who I like better: Vampires or Werewolves? I usually think about how I would rather die. But this isn’t the case. It’s about love.
I associate vampires with bats. Childish, eh? But what would you rather snuggling up to you? A vampire bat? Or a furry horse-like wolf. Hah. Bat? Or dog? Vampires want blood. Dogs want company. I don’t trust Edward to sucessfully turn Bella to a vampire. As he said before “I have human instincts, they are just buried” (something along those lines). Saying this, it is obvious his vampire instincts are stronger than his human ones. The only reason he hasn’t killed her yet is because he is constantly in check with himself. But with Jacob, his human intincts are much more distinct. He’s 16. And he hasn’t been a werewolf for that long. He is half-human also. He has much better control. He won’t kill Bella if they do it. Lol, unless she insults him. pfft. *ahem* He has much more personality than Edward. The only trait about Edward that could count as personality is that he acts like a sadist. Also, he calls himself a masochist. To me, he is swiss cheese.
Maybe love is supposed to be subtle at first. Nothing like an obsession. Jacob is sweet and charming. He’s lovable, and silly. And he is protective, of course not to the extent of Edward. Because who could beat that obsessed vampire with safety concerns? Jacob is much better for Bella than Edward is. Bella feels extreme lust for Edward. I know that she told Edward that love and lust are in the same company for her. But I don’t feel that that is the case. She doesn’t act like she really has a mental attachment to Edward at all. Edward is like her safety blanket. But with Jacob, she could grow. They could grow together. But still she insists on staying a teenager and having her life a complete safety blanket. She’s just afraid of growing. Mentally and phisically. She’s afraid of the fact that with Jacob it could all come to an end some day. With Edward there is an instant a-ok for her never having to die and be with someone forever. Because we have seen that she doesn’t do well with seperation.
And, Team Jacob still has a chance. So what if Bella and Edward marry? Ever heard of a little thing called divorce? It happens. So I don’t plan on dashing my hopes just because of some cerimony that temporary binds a couple who are in love for now. It’s silly.
Perfection is boring.
Team Jacob.
I just started to read the twilight series and well, i haven’t even read eclipse, I’m buying it today. but last night I finnished new moon. I really like jacob. i know that bella and edward are getting married, but i really like jacob. He just seems more fun then edward. i really believe that its more of an obsession then love with edward. bella says how jacob is her best friend, and how nice he is, how he ccomforts her. and how she owes him so much. but i know it was really hard for bella without edward. but she was doing alright. i feel like after time she would have given jacob a chance and maybe something would have happend.
i like what Taylor said, a lot.
This is such a classic debate. Bella has a superficial love with Edward. She thinks he’s beautiful and mysterious. Their relationship has no depth. There are moments where it seems that Edward doesn’t even know Bella. I get tickled at some of the descriptions that are used to describe Edward (he sparkles.) Edward represents “first” love. Any woman who has lost and loved understands how strong “first” love can be. It’s EXACTLY how Bella felt. The shallow relationship between Edward and Bella could not even survive a human life, much less an eternal one. They are both so involved with one another they neglected EVERYTHING else in their lives. This isn’t healthy.
Jacob is Bella’s true love. They have something stronger than attraction. They can read each other and make each other stronger. GO TEAM JACOB!
Team Edward all the way.
You know, the only way to truely describe Jacob is like the sex you carelessly have with your best friend when your boyfriend leaves you. He was there for her when Bella needed a heart to attach herself to, but the love there is… moderate and overcomable at best. I won’t be stupid; I won’t deny their bond, but… it holds nothing on the magnetic pull that Edward has on her. Even when they WERE together, she put herself at risk up to the end purely to hear Edward’s voice. Even with him there, Jacob was a makeshift patch. She still felt the holes undernear, and you people know this. She CLEARLY explains it an overcopious amount of times. I’ll admit, Jacob stopped the bleeding, but he couldn’t mend under her skin. Even in the heat of the moment, she fled Jacob in an instant if it ment to get her Edward back. Jacob is a pig-headed, callous wolf, even if he can have his moments that say, “love me”. Edward just wants what’s best for her, gives her her freedom, asks little and doesn’t claim a lot. Could he fight, it’d be nice, but he knows he can’t win a battle that he can’t touch.
Edward knows what he’s doing, but Jacob effing assults Bella for her attention… As said, Jacob is just the “post-relationship angst”. Now that the fight is over, he’s a part of her, sure… But not the part she’s destined to stick with.
TEAM EDWARD!
Theres no way she wouldn’t pick Edward! He’s so caring and amazing and he’d do anything for Bella! Jacob is more fitting as her best friend rather than her boyfriend. Edward is her soul mate and she can’t live without him. I hate it when Jacob tries to get in the way of Edward and Bella’s relationship. I wish sometimes that Edward wouldn’t be so calm and would fight for Bella, but he never will because it could hurt her if he hurt Jacob. Which shows that Edward cares about Bella way more than Jacob does. Jacob didn’t even imprint on her- thank god! I liked it better before Jacob was a wolf and only wanted to be her friend, which is the way things should be. Jacobs not her true love. He was just there as a friend to heal her broken heart after Edward had to leave her in New Moon, which was for her own good he thought. Jacob could never heal the broken emptiness Bella felt after Edward left. Even when he was gone when she was with Jacob she was just using him to make her feel happier without her true love. She did the reckless things like riding a motorcycle just so she could hear Edward’s voice, and the only way she could have that was to spend time with Jacob an do stupid things. Jacob will never be enough for her. Her life would be miserable without Edward, and she loves him much more than she does Jacob. I would rather see Bella with Mike than with Jacob! You can plainly see that she’s happiest with Edward. Jacob is awful and he’s always manipulating Bella to kiss him and then she just end’s up getting hurt. Edward would never try to hurt her and is always protecting her and being incredibly selfless. TEAM EDWARD ALL THE WAY!
TEAM JACOB BABAYYY!!!! TEAM EDWARD, GO SUCK SOMEONE ELSE!! BELLA DESERVES JACOB!!
TEAM JACOB BAYBEE!!!
😀
i <3 Jacob!
idk why , edward just seems annoying.
ik wat jacob does in breaking dawd with renesme
is kinda odd but i still like him
better that edward. :]
Actually ,
if there was a team MiKE NEWT0N
then i would vote for that 😀
who doesnt love mike and jacob?
lol
Definitely Team Jacob!!!!!
I understand that Bella choose Edward and they were meant for each other but I still love Jake! Its probably his cute personality combined with that warm affection of a cute puppy dog. Jake can go hay wire sometimes but still he is a lot more realistic than Edward. Don’t get me wrong Edward is great and everything but Jake is more of your every day boys. Plus I get cold a lot and need a space heater. That’s why I love Jake over Edward!!!
Team Jacob most definitely. But before any Edward fans bite my head off, let me explain:
I’m team Jake, not because I want him to be with Bella. I mean, we all know that’s a lost cause. Bells and Edward belong together. I like Jake more as a person (or werewolf?). If I myself had to choose between the two, I’d pick Jacob. So that’s why I’m all team Jake!
TEAM JACOB! <33
I fully support Bella and Edward, but my fave char will always be Jacob! He’s so Sweet and caring and loving! He rules and not even Edward can keep him down! XD
Come on guys, Edward is crazy. Seriously he’s overly dramatic and he’s way to proper. Not to mention he’s too protective/clingy .. ANNOYING
What kind of girl wouldn’t like a guy like Jacob, he’s an adventurer..the type with the motorcycles and whatnot. He has a great sense of humor (unlike Edward..sorry guys but there’s not an ounce of funny in him) So….
TEAM JACOB ALL THE WAY BABY
Okay first of all TEAM EDWARD!
For anyone that’s saying Edward’s overprotectice- heads up. Bella’s just as protective over Edward! And he can’t die!
Bella wouldn’t let him fight Victoria and made him stay with her so that he couldn’t get hurt, and he’s a lot less breakable than Bella.
GO TEAM JACOB!!!!! Edward sucks….BLOOD!!! Sorry to those who have not read breaking dawn but i hatre edward and the book explains why. he is a stupid overbearing over protective blood sucker who doesnt deserve bells. go jacob.
TEAM JAKE!!!!
i just love jacob. but not for bella. i mean, i agree that they would be together if the supernatural world didnt exist, but bella just…is made for edward. and i cant fight that.
but jacob is the most amazing, considerate, kind, caring…EVERYTHING…person in the whole book. hes funny, and smart, and troubled, and loves bella A LOTT, but is still willing to keep her alive, though he knows that he will never get her.
who wouldnt want that?!?!?!?!?!!!!!????
i just love him. hes perfect.
TEAM JACOB:]
i still love Edawrd, but i love Jacob so much more!
Bella seems more comfortable with Jacob and with him she wouldn’t have to give up her human life or her family.
I used to love Edward but when he left her it was so sad! and Jacob kept her happy thats when i started to like Jacob more. Jacob all the wayy, hes perfect.
TEAM EDWARD ALL THE WAY
okay i don’t understand why people like jacob…?
i really don’t
we all know not only is edward hotter and smarter and better he’s the perfect for bella he is not overprotective he’s just trying to keep her alive
why on earth would she wan’t to go with a stinky dog ?
edward saved her life many times
how many times did jacob help her beside that once and edward thought was for own good
bella can’t live without edward and she’s not
sorry all u jacob fans he sucks i really wish edward had just killed him but another good thing about edward he loved bella sooo much he didn’t kill that stinky dog like we all know he can
love edwards fan
sabrina
I feel bad for jacob mostly tho edward is amazing. I think bella still should have gave jacob a little sumthin sumthin for hurting him the way she did but still stayed with Edward.
TEAM JACWARD
(jacob+edward)
Team Edward all the way =D
Team Jacob! i hate edward. that is all i have to say on the subject.
tEAM jAcOb!
c’mon edward already has so many fans, so whyy not give out a full support to the third wheel ryt? its pretty obvious that the 1st guy always gets the girl, so i feel so bad for jake. he deserve something much better. and when u think about it the whole saga would be boring if jake’s not around. ^__^ he’s basically the one who brings the reader back to reality (in a way).
Team JACOB
I mean it is not his fault that he a wolf tho i think that soo cool. For those of you who don’t tho it is some what edwards fault (not saying i don’t like edward cuz i do he just isn’t right for bella). I mean the only reason that JACOB is a wolf is because Edward is a vamp i mean if there were no vamps there would be no wolfs and Bella and JACOB would live happily everafter. And when JACOB kissed Bella he was trying to show her that he loved her and that she loved him and that they were soulmates. I mean wouldn’t you do everything you could to let your soulmate know that you were meant to be. Ya Edward is a nice… being but JACOB and Bella are soulmates and I think that Edward should deal with that.
GO TEAM JACOB !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TEAMMMMMMMM JACOBBBBB!!!!!!!!!!!!
HELL YES!
WHO EVER HATES JACOB BETTER DEAL WITH ME!!!!!!
Team Jake! all they way.
Bells is a crabby bitch alot of the time. she doesnt deserve either of them. first of all she makes everything so hard and shes aways complaining and yelling at Edward. he should have left her long ago. and as for jake, hes the only one who gets her inside and out. hes hopelessly in love with her but she wants to be part of edwards family more. its a family i think she wants more than anything and thats what draws her to the Cullens. edward uses what hes got to get what he wants and jake just is 100% real with bella all the time. i want a guy like that.
TEAM JAKE!
i love him. so much. seriously? edward wanted to eat bella, and she somehow..liked…it…i dont know. but jake is fighting for the girl he wants, and he never gives up. he loves her. he does. it not her scent…like edward. i love edward too, cause he is hot (supposed to be before freaking robert pattison ruined it) and nice, and kind, and caring, and mysterious and amazing, but then i re read new moon and eclpise, and i changed my mind. i have officially decided team jacob. i was pissed at him for freaking imprinting on renesme though. i thought that was the most stupid thing in the world, and then he jsut stopped talking to bella. :[ so sad. but i cried when edward and jake got in a fight at the wedding. i love jake.
;]
-Channi
I want a hot, sexy werewolf boyfrienddd!!!! Team jacob!(:
TEAM JACOB!!!!!!! Jake deserves her man! Breaking dawn ruined the whole series New Moon was the best. In their you got to know Jacob for who he really was. Yet suprisingly after he transformed he was pretty much the same just a little racist against vampires and maybe a bit more stubborn. And can’t any1 agree that turning into a wolf is more BA then a vampire.
TEAM JAKE ALL THE WAY!!!
Edward is just tooo perfect. And that is very annoying. And jake is so sexy, and have a passion, and he’s really funny!! Did Bella laughed with Edward??? Ever??? nooooo
I thing I said enough.
I LOVE YOU JAKE
jacob made bella kiss him in the third book and you call him better NO WAY HE SUCK
well edward was in forks first and sooo who cares if they turned into stupid dogs
jacob is in the book to make it more chapters thats what i think
jacob is in no way shape or form better than edward
and just because edward looks perfect doesn’t mean he is he killed people before soo you think thats perfect
and vampires are ten times more better than a wolf who would want to turn into a dog not me that sucks
TEAM EDWARD TEAM VAMPIRES
JACOB BLACK SUCK ALWAYS HAVE ALWAYS WILL
Team Jacob!!!!!
Edward’s just tooo perfect, too overprotective. Honestly, the guy has no personality.He’s just there.And who does he think he is, he’s gone for how long leaves Bella a wreck, Jake picks up the pieces, and when he comes back demands that she doesnt see him. Jake and Bella are soulmates, the thing with Edward is nothing but obsession. And honestly, who wants to cuddle next to a cold vampire as hard as marble? Give me the werewolf anyday.
TEAM JACOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111
WE’RE ALL TEAM JACOB WOOHOOO!
