Everything I know about Twilight I have learned from my flist, and I know that I will never, ever read the books. I never intended to waste any words on them, either, but I would like some confirmation that what I've now read is true

I just watched the newest House promo and was depressed from the awfulness.

Then I read this entry and was happy from the lol.

That is all.

*mems post as anti-awful talisman*

Apologies for the incoherence. Am tired. Seriously though, thank you so much for posting this - it made me laugh very, very much and gave me this wonderful sense of gratification that I am *not* the only person who is left feeling bemused at f-list 'Twilight'-related squee. :)

[donnaimmaculata]

I am... seriously baffled. I used to think that the Twilight wank has been the result of normal fannish hysteria and that the novels themselves are so not worth all the excitement. And so when I read the details of the birth giving scene, I thought it was a Twilight basher doing some OTT bashing. But to think that this is supposed to be the climax, as it were, of the Bella/Edmund relationship? Craaazy!

*is very, very bewildered* *and scared*

a) yes
b) yes
c) yes

Seriously.

The film makers are currently shitting themselves.

I am trying to think of it a s a huge joke on the Mommies who let their Little Darlings read it, because there was no swearing or drinking or sex before marriage...

[donnaimmaculata]

Hah! I didn't even think of the film! Frankly, when I stumbled upon this piece of information on fandom_wank, of all places, I thought it was just wankers being sarcastic. And then, slowly, realisation dawned that this is the real Twilight canon and the conclusion of long-year high-school courting and vampire UST.

Well, thank God there was no sex before marriage. Phew!

I hope it will make it in the film. That would be so brilliant. Sparkly, even.

The first one is vaguely filmable - UST, sparkles, she's kidnapped by a naughty vampire and he rescues her.

You can see why they'd make it, to entertain the tweenagers.

Then this"Get her breathing! I've got to get him out before

[donnaimmaculata]

Okay, I honestly can't tell whether it's an excerpt from the Real Thing or you being sarcastic.

Regardless, it does sound amazing.

...

No words. Just... no words.

[donnaimmaculata]

I know! I thought it was just wankers being sarcastic!

Perhaps SMeyer really, really didn't enjoy giving birth to her kids?

[fluffyllama]

Haha, yes. If I was going to post that's pretty much what I'd say. I'm kind of baffled by all the goings-on, but it's terribly entertaining!

[donnaimmaculata]

You know, being the reasonable person that I am, I always vaguely assumed that my information - gained via my mostly anti-Twilight flist and fandom_wank - was inaccurate and that Twilight wasn't really that bad. I mean, if your knowledge of Harry Potter derived solely from anti-HP posts and fandom_wank, you'd think that the entire HP canon and fandom were completely mental.

But in their case the madness is right there!

[sistermagpie]

It's like somebody just peeled back something in this woman's mind and there's...some weird shit going on in there.

That she is sharing with the world!!!

[donnaimmaculata]

Perhaps the births of her children were particularly traumatic?

Spending most of my life on the Internet, I am no stranger to weird shit. But this time it's coming from a very unexpected direction. It's not like she was writing about a furry fetish* - she's supposed to write a teenage fantasy romance!

*not quite the same, but close enough, I'd say
