THERE'S TWO NOW! THEY'RE SO CUTE. And so convenient, since I was just wondering what other 'B' word I could use to finish off the title ( Read more... )

But there's no sex. At all. There are chapters and chapters of "He's so preeettyyyy but I think he haaates meee and he's a vaaaampiiiire but he's so preeettyyyyyy" from her and "OMG SHE SMELLS OF FREESIAS THAT'S SO HOT" from him before they even KISS.

The big thing about them is they promote abstinence. I believe the circular argument goes:

"I wanna have sex with you, Edward!"
"But darling, I might end up biting you because you're just so amazing and beautiful and you smell of freesias."
"So turn me into a vampire! They seem awesome!"
"I can only turn you if we get married, sugardumpling."
"EW! I don't want to get MARRIED! I want independence and my own life and stuff!"
"... as an undead creature?"
"But you're my TWU WUV and I want SEX."

*facepalm*

I think it could provide much pain at Loinfire. But that would involve getting hold of a copy and, horrors, possibly having to pay for it.

OH CHRIST. I've always been a Twilight fan, but CHRIST. Do people have to be psychos about it? Point A. Robert Pattinson was hardly ANYONE'S first pick for Edward. Point B. HE'S A HUMAN BEING. TREAT HIM LIKE ONE. I mean, Christ! On my own personal time, I think about Zachary Quinto more than is entirely sane, but when I met him, I contained myself, because that's just human decency!! Robert's not a fucking piece of meat. LEAVE THE BOY ALONE!

Yes, they're campy, yes, they're pro-abstinence, but they feed my inner sap. *shrug*

It is crazy, right? Even I wasn't like that with the Heroes people. Sure, my head was exploding all the time I was with them, but I didn't grab them inappropriately or tell them how sexy they were. It was totally David Anders who initiated the 'naked' conversation.

I have no problem with people enjoying the books. I mean, I'm sure when I read them I'll be slightly taken in by the saccharin goo like everyone else. I'm really happy vampires are cool again. I just... don't like the way some girls take the books, and think Stephanie Meyer could have taken steps to avoid it.

I mean, in reality, it's not even decent vampire literature, since they're all sparkly and can go out in the sun and stuff, and yes, they're sappy, but it appeals to that inner wish we've all had that we could have our very own gorgeous, psychotically possessive vampire. Or maybe that's just me.

One of my friends wrote a really insightful thing about just why Edward is so popular. It comes down to basically he is the most perfect sparkly Bad Boy imaginable - and Bad Boys are always better, because when they're nice to you you know it's because they must REALLY like you - and deep down all girls want to be so loved by someone they change for you, and to feel special in having been chosen and standing out from all the other girls and all that.

There's a reason there's so much Sylar Mary-Sue fic out there. And why Adam is so damn hot.
