i...hate leaving books and series unfinished, that's why i continued reading the series to the end(i was also hoping that it would redeem itself at some point but alas, it did not.). And i tend to retain relatively useless information, perhaps my subconcious hopes i can randomly interject it into a conversation someday...
You can't really hate something without reading it, but it's kinda hard to get past the sparkling vampires for some people... lD
Well some (or maybe all) sharks can smell blood from a mile or two, possibly more, away but i don't think they'd really like to stalk a girl on her period. XD; But hey i could be wrong about that, although i'm pretty sure that shark attacks are pretty rare. *watched too many shark attack shows*
Nah, I wasn't being sarcastic : 3
I really did like how you explained your whole views on the series...in detail.
You actually backed up all you reasons. I liked that too ~
I know of some people who tell me they hate twilight haven't read it and can't give me a single reason to why they hate it. Sort of hate-bandwagoners who hate to like anything popular : /
Anywho...
...About sharks...
IDk I'll have to check that. I always thought different of it.
xD Tommorrows gonna be a strange day in oceanography
D: aw aw go work on your homework and stuff!
BUT THEY CAN AND THEY WILL
AND WE WILL DIE A LITTLE INSIDE pfff just wait until it's out on DVD, it won't take too long. XD;
Yeah but if Meyers can't even stay consistent with her own story then...just ugh.
The sparkly-poo vampires is really what pisses people off the most, nearly all the traditional ideas of a vampire were ignored. As far as i know, everyone is kinda flexible on the whole 'no going out in daylight' thing so changing it to 'becomes weak from prolonged exposure' seems to be acceptable but sparkling was...no, just no.
I think it's kinda an unspoken rule for girls to not go swimming on their period...well at least i don't. Besides sharks probably wouldn't be that close to shore, and a shark attack would be rare anyways, no matter how far from the shore you are.
Yeah so um, Twilight doesn't really count as a romance novel either, Bella and Edward's relationship is based solely on physical attraction, they're always saying how beautiful and dazzling the other is and not 'You're so smart/funny/whatever.' We never really get a good insight on their personalities. Nearly all of the relationships were 'predestined/fated' or the couple was already together. The Werewolves/Shapeshifters had imprinting, which is really creepy and also inconsistent. Meyers said that the reason Jacob was in love with Bella in the series was because 'he could sense the egg(that would later become Renesme) in Bella.' Which is inconsistent with another example of the imprinting when one of Jacob's friends(can't remember his name) imprinted on a girl 'who he had never looked at before'(as in never payed attention to her) in his class, to stay consistent he should've been drawn to her from the start, perhaps simply as a friend and then more so after imprinting. Not to mention that, technically speaking, Edward is an abusive boyfriend (taking the engine out of Bella's car to keep her away from Jacob, and having Alice kidnap her at one point i believe.) and a stalker at first. >>'
Not saying you're stupid, but those books have kinda brainwashed people.
I hatehatehate when you lose your train of thought on important things like that.
Pisses me off.
Like my inability to concentrate with this damn computer in the room.
I'm gonna pull an all-nighter weeeeeeee
UGHUGH
NO
THEY CAN'T MILK IT ANYMORE
OR I'LL PUKE ALL OVER THE GROUND /sob Still gonna see New Moon to lmfao at all the stupidity. OTL
I admit, i liked the series at first but was miffed at the end of the book, hardly any real conflict at all, it was just Edward and Bella gushing over eachother.
Second one ticked me off even more, Bella goes into near vegetative state because Edward left her, yet manages to maintain perfect grades and no one even seems to try and help her get over it, then she starts hearing a fake Edward in her head, nearly gets her and her friend in a horrible situation because of it, manipulates Jacob to build/fix a motocycle so she can go be an idiot and nearly kill herself just so she can hear the fake Edward, then promptly JUMPS OFF A CLIFF, and for some reason through all of this all of her friends from the first book ARE STILL HER FRIENDS. She abandoned them for the Cullens, rejected all of the boys who asked her to the dance, and again nearly gets what's-her-face and her raped or whatever.
Third book was just Bella trying to shove Edward down her pants.
Fourth book was horrid, creepy humanvamp pregnancy, and suddenly Bella and Rosalie are BFFS! Jacob becomes a pedo, and Bella is strongest vampire EVAR and a total bitch. And again lack of actual conflict.
btw Renesme's power technically shouldn't work on Bella since her power is a mental shield, thereby keeping invasive mental powers out, at no point in the series does Meyers say why Renesme's power is able to penetrate Bella's shield, but it is.
Not to mention that Meyers has ADMITTED to never doing research on vampires for her book(aside from when Bella did in the first book, though she didn't actually read it), it was based on her dream in which she came to the conclusion that a sparkling young man was a vampire.
Second, vampires staying in highschool for decades is stupid. It's highschool, full of drama and girls on their periods. It has been mentioned numerous times that Jasper is very weak at resisting blood(he went psycho after Bella got a papercut), therefore he would go crazy in a highschool full of girls on their menstrual cycles.
Nothing in Twilight actually makes sense or stays consistent throughout the series.

since 8th grade....12th grade now so like 4 year fan?
*gets shot*
But really. People are starting to be real douches about the whole thing. You say you like twilight and they chew your butt out.
It's a real hard fandom to b part of : /
*steps off soap box*
But I have to admit..I hated the book breaking dawn.
I haaaaaaaaaate it~!
UGGH, I've always hated Twilight, I wonder how REALLY messed-up things will turn out whenever there will be a movie for Breaking Dawn(I don't know what's worse...Twilight, or The Gingerdead Man(it's some old-ish movie, it's a very CHEESY and BAD movie, especially with the effects))
Once my English teacher had us write about the best/worst book we've ever read, and I said Twilight was a bad book 8D
And one girl got all upset and just called me a twilight-hater, but hey, not my fault the book is so boring, yes, no, yes? 8D

I like how you just wrote out the whole series ; 3
Not staying constant, following her own made rules or the fact that the vampires were completely made up really didn't bother me.
I'm not exactly the most picky person in th world xD
I have to admit the whole Bella thing in book 2 drove me crazy.
And book 2....hell Bella in general.
And you just put down my reasons for hating book 4.
But....about Jasper,
Does that mean when you go to the beach on your period sharks follow you too? I've always wanted to know that .... ; 3
And dude. Being stuck in middle school would be worse. Remember that~! T_____T
*Bad memories*
Anywho, regardless...I still liiiike
romance novelstwilight.At least the first book.lolAnd I have no problem with others not liking it.
I just don't like getting treated like I'm the stupidest thing on earth for saying I do : /

Did you know that they make Twilight Band-Aids? I saw them in Hot Topic. Made me go "WHAT THE FRENCH TOAST?"
It's ridiculous.
