Sigh. Yes, I'm a Twilighter. But I REFUSE to read Breaking Dawn again, lol.
Let me break it down for you:
Twilight = LOVE.
New Moon = Good, but not great.
Eclipse = Ehhhhhhh.
Breaking Dawn = W.T.F.
That's how it goes. I've read Twilight - Eclipse 3 times now in a little over a year. I've read Breaking Dawn twice. I know I could read it again but there's no point. I find it so retarded..the only part I like is when all of the vampires from across the world come together and you learn about their powers and culture etc.
Most of the arguments for Twilight are so repetitive and annoying. I'll go through them and put my opinion.
1. Vampires don't sparkle. Okay, why is this such a big deal? It's not as if vampires actually exist..so why can't an author take a creature and make it her own? Many different vampires have different elements and personalities in different vampire books. If she wants her vampires to sparkle in the sun then let her and get the fuck over it and stop bitching. Go read Vonnegut since sparkling vampires are so beneath you and hey, maybe you should bitch about something that's worth bitching about next time. ///// This is only directed towards those who take this shit too seriously. If it's a joke, I don't care, I find most jokes about Twilight hilarious even though I like the book. But if people are degrading the book due to sparkling vampires and what not, I mean, what the fuck, it's a fiction story. Yeah. Woo.
2. Girls that like Edward Cullen's character are dumbass fucks and need to realize he cannot exist. REALLY? STONE COLD/HARD AND SUPER STRONG, SPARKLING, VEGETARIAN BEAUTIFUL MALE VAMPIRES DON'T EXIST? OH MY FUCKING GOD. I HAD NO IDEA. THANKS FOR BRINGING MY HEAD OUT OF MY ASS AFTER ALL OF THIS TIME. There's a difference between admiring his character and waiting for it. I agree, if you dump your boyfriend because he doesn't compare to Edward Cullen or if you're sitting at home crying because you can't find an equivalent, then that's pretty pathetic and you really do need to get over yourself. But for the rest of us who just admire his character and choose him over Jacob, why is this so unbelievable? People always say that they're for Jacob because he's human and someone like Edward could never exist and he's too perfect blah blah blah. Now, let me mention this again..IT'S A STORY. FICTION. NOT REAL. So if this FICTIONAL CHARACTER named BELLA has a choice between a PERFECT, BEAUTIFUL, ETC VAMPIRE named EDWARD and a typical immature dickass werewolf named Jacob that shoves his tongue down her throat..why the fuck would she NOT choose Edward IN THE STORY. If Edward exists for her IN THE STORY then why should she say NO to him? It doesn't make sense for her to be like "oh, sorry Edward, I'm going to have to turn you down for Jacob because you don't exist - oh wait" seriously.
NOW, if you genuinely don't like Edward's character - many people don't - then that's fine. If you don't like the over-protectiveness (he loosens up eventually) or his old style mannerisms or his cold skin or whatever other elements of his personality..then fine. It makes perfect sense for you to be like..yeah, I want Jacob. Or if you want neither. Or if you don't give a shit about any characters in Twilight, then yeah, that's fine. But don't be and idiot and get fiction confused with reality. Most of my obsessions involve the characters and nothing related to my own life. Sure, I may have mentioned in the past that I wish a vampire would come find me and love me and obsess over me..but it's not literal seriousness. Kind of like how I desire to have a threesome with the Weasley twins or James+Oliver Phelps, but that will never happen either. Hopefully you get my point.
But I do genuinely love Edward Cullen's character. I love his old fashioned phrases and the way he talks and the way he addresses Bella etc etc. His sarcasm and quiet humour. It's all so very attractive. And he's supposed to be. But it's not for everyone.
3. Stephenie Meyer's writing is horrible and her grammar is even worse. Okay, I may somewhat agree with this, but I'm not going to hate her books because of it. They're still read-able to me. Yes, it isn't written like a classic and it's not supposed to be, I don't think. For me, it's merely entertainment, nothing more, nothing less.
But yeah, I love Twilight (the first book) and I'll probably read it a billion times without it ever getting old.
I can't wait until the final draft of Midnight Sun comes out..I've read the partial draft and it's so amazing. Woooooo.
I've said enough on the subject. I'm sure I could go on and on but I'm too lazy.
KRISTEN.
