RPattz/KStew Relationship Timeline
an appetizer
are we running behind? clearly. but should you cut us some slack? did Kelsey have a dream last night in which she leapt into Robert Pattinson’s arms and almost started making out with him? (the answer to the last two questions should be obvious and is the same.) anyway, for the time being please enjoy this project from what critics are calling “the fevered mind of Kelsey Widman”
March 2008: Twilight filming begins
On a bed in Catherine Hardwicke's house is where Pattinson kissed Stewart for the first time for the Twilight screen test. "That bed made Pattinson who he is right now," says Reed. [Wikipedia]
Excuse me, WHAT??????

how I personally feel about that fact!!!
November 2008: Twilight comes out
March 2009: New Moon filming begins
The use of film, rather than digital, cameras added to the "old-fashioned" nature of the production. [Wikipedia]
I mean……..sure??????

I love the cinema!!!!
Mid-2009: KStew + RPattz start dating

the STORY this tells!
August 2009: Eclipse filming begins
jesus they really did not cut these kids a break, huh
November 2009: New Moon comes out; Kelsey mysteriously becomes allowed to take in Twilight content, for the main reason that she was invited to see the movie with Friends, a rarity at the time in question
December 2009: Kelsey listens to “Possibility” by Lykke Li from the Twilight: New Moon soundtrack for about 4 hours on repeat on a family road trip. Obviously this is not relevant to the relationship timeline, but it is a fun (?) fact about Kelsey.
November 2010: Eclipse comes out
November 2010 - April 2011: Breaking Dawn pts. 1 & 2 filming
On the subject of the final day and her final moment as Bella, Stewart stated, "After that scene, my true final scene, I felt like I could shoot up into the night sky and every pore of my body would shoot light. I felt lighter than I've ever felt in my life." - KStew on filming the final scene [Wikipedia]
Early fall 2011: Snow White and the Huntsman filming
November 2011: Breaking Dawn Pt. 1 comes out
image: Bella and Edward lying in bed together mostly undressed
bella crying of horniness in the movie breaking dawn, pt 1, an experience I can honestly relate to quite a bit
April 2012: Breaking Dawn Pt. 2 reshoots
May 2012: Snow White and the Huntsman comes out
gif: Kristen Stewart in Snow White and the Huntsman wearing armor and riding a horse
absolutely awful movie that I did see in theaters, but put KStew in armor, which was objectively Good
July 2012: KStew + Huntsman director AFFAIR comes out, KStew & RPattz break up. I will not share the paparazzi photos here because they had kind of a disrespectful vibe but just know they are SEARED into my brain!!
gif: Taylor Lautner crying in Breaking Dawn and rubbing his arm
Twi-dom during this troubled time
October 2012: KStew + RPattz back together
November 2012: Breaking Dawn, Pt. 2 comes out
May 2013: KStew + RPattz break up again
Intervening years: seems like some healing happens for both of them, KStew makes a couple statements about her sexuality, including in this SNL monologue.
May 2018: KStew looks at Cate Blanchett like this; the world changes forever:

For more supplemental reading: this highly chaotic RPattz interview, in which he talks about the upcoming (?) RBattz movie. Read it, reread it, tell Kelsey whether you think she could realistically date RPattz.
See you soon!
