I need to rant.
So, I think I'm finally pinpointing what it is that drives me crazy in Twilight fandom today.
You know back in the olden days when it was just a bunch of us goofing around on LJ? We posted our fic and we debated the books and we made graphics with whoever the fuck we wanted, like Gaspard Ulliel and Emily Browning.
And then the last book came out and the movies came along. And then it was suddenly a fandom full of people hating on the books. And people focusing in on the actors in the movies. And that was fine, for a while.
But it's gotten to a point where I'm just...sick of it. I don't want to fuss about whether Rob or Kristen are together even if I really want him to have dumped her ass. I don't care about who they go out with or who their friends are. I still don't know who Marcus Foster is and I don't care. I don't give a shit about Jackson Rathbone and his band or whatever the hell people spend all their time talking about these days.
Mostly, I wish I'd never known a damned thing about the people behind the movies. Maybe then I could still get lost in it. But right now, I watch the Twilight movies and my head is full of all this crap that Robstenners have been flooding my twitter feed with, and it ruins it for me. The knowledge of their relationship is a distraction from what I loved about Twilight.
And I know that I will end up being called a hater for this post and blah blah fucking blah. I just don't give a shit. I would be happy to never say another word about Rob or Kristen or anyone else as long as the people surrounding me would do the same.
I don't know why I'm even going to see Breaking Dawn Part 2. I should just stay home and reread the books.
