Saw the original caption earlier. Thought I would put my own spin on it.
The Goblet of Fire is a shit movie… but Robert Pattinson should still be more proud of it than he is of Twilight.
Pretty sure he is.
i wrote a paper as a senior in high school about this and when tracking the unhealthy relationship symptoms i found this out too. fucking a.
THIS is a legitimate reason to think Twilight is problematic. Not “oooh, but it’s girly literature cause the vampires sparkle and all the teen girls are into Edward”. As funny as some of the sparkly vampires jokes are - and they really sometimes are - Twilight’s very unique take on vampires is the least of the series’ problems, yet this criticism gets heard a lot more than the criticism of people who have noticed that something isn’t quite right in the relationship between Edward and Bella.
I brought this up every chance I had when I was working with the youth theatre girls this summer. There was one in particular who was way gaga over Edward and how she wanted a boyfriend just like him, so I told her “Oh, you’d be ok with a guy who followed you everywhere, invaded your privacy, ignored your feelings, sabotaged your friendships, and isolated you from everyone you’ve ever loved? And nearly killed you on several occasions?”
And I literally watched the switch flip in her head.
my mom is dying laughing right now
yeah, that’s upsetting, but not surprising at all.
once i did a video breaking down how bella & edward’s relationship is abusive
then twilight fangirls sent me a ton of hate mail
:|
If only the actor wasn’t so cool about hating Twilight, it would be so much easier for me to hate him because of all the jokes I get about looking like Edward Cullen.
Dude. Forget Edward Cullen. Put on some Hufflepuff Robes and BAM!! Cedric Diggory! Chicks love the honeybadger!
Heheh…
A story: Back when I was in high school, my bro Sabrina along with a lot of other females were rather smitten with the Twilight series. Now a given, Sabrina was a fairly smart girl and I knew her to know better than to consider it actually good writing. She understood the level of cheese in the novels, but still loved the books. I teased her about it a lot. One field trip we took for art class was to the International Food Festival (the best thing mankind has ever invented omg) so while perusing over one of the tables when she was busy getting some food, I decided to buy her a little vial of blue glitter with a chain for a necklace. I promptly gave it to her the next day at school, saying it was her birthday present. When she asked what it was, I said, with a straight face, it was Edward Cullen’s sparkle jizz.
She has never gotten over it. None of our friends ever saw glitter in a bottle the same way ever again. xD
That is win!
