Oh Jesus, Twilight.

Sometimes I wonder if I had been brainwashed when I read that series. I distinctly remember liking it, but now... Now I just want to either throw up or laugh myself stupid, especially when I remember Renesmee's birth.

Though, I have to say, not many people hate and ridicule the whole thing more than Robert Pattinson. Which in itself amuses me.

Yeah. My liking for RPatz goes up every time I see him loathing Twilight. Haha.

Though I'll admit the scene in the film where Bella tells us what she'd name her kid depending on gender was the single most funny point in any of the films. Renesmee, seriously? She's obviously a nutter.

I remeber disscussing this in the Twilight thread. And we all seem to agree that Twilight seems good while you're reading it but when you look back you feel ashamed to have even read the books. All this that has lead me to beilieve that there are: SUBLIMINAL MESSAGES IN TWILIGHT! I beileve it has something to do with how many times Stephanie Meyer uses the phrases: "perfect" and "stone cold" that brings out different effects...

My opinions on Twilight. Although, I admit, they are all addictive once you start. Although New Moon was torture at times. And the 6 page kiss in Eclipse. Jeez, why did I put up with it!?

Guilty pleasure I suppose. And the hope that someone might actually die at the end of them?

See, now I want to write a fanfic in which all the main characters die in horribly gory, excruciating, and visceral deaths. Thanks for that, Dilan.

It'd be a comedy... XD

@Dilan: I think that's more or less accurate.

@Peds: That is a great image! Was there actually a 6 page kiss? *throws up in corner*

@Schady: That was my reaction as well but I wouldn't need to make it a comedy. Just them dying would be funny enough.

You misunderstand, Scorpiash. Them dying and the obvious connotations thereof is what would make it a comedy. I wouldn't need to add humour in order for it to be classified as such. It's already funny enough on its own.

I honestly thought something would happen at the end of the series though. I mean it built up, built up, built up and then... I think one of them ended up bruised or something.

@Schady: Ahh, I was wondering if that was what you meant. My bad  grin.
If you do write it please put up a link so I can have the satisfaction of reading it without the effort of writing it.

@Dilan: Yeah I expected the ending to have at least someone die but of course it ended just about as bad as the rest of the books

Haha, that's okay. And you know, I don't know if I can be bothered writing it. Seems like too much effort when I'm trying to forget that the series even exists.

"Bella could barely breathe"

Or mostly, "He watched her while she slept".

Creepiness is only a small thing compared with stalking.

No, the creepiest thing is the fact that HE GREASED HER WINDOW FOR WHEN HE NEXT WANTS TO POP BY AND WATCH HER SLEEP (This is in capitals because it's important). Stalkers don't even do that. Stalkers stalk because they believe they have a deep personal connection. He just though she smelled tasty and decided to torture himself with her.

His face (in the film, though I imagined it much the same in the book) when he first meets her is one of the single most hilarious scenes in any film, ever.

tehehehehe
