Vague pang of pride and nostalgia and affectionate amusement. Do we have a word for that? We really ought to, we’re British for pete’s sake!
Oh. That IS the word, isn’t it.

Yes, it’s about sparkly vampires and werewolves fighting over a girl. Yes, normal vampires don’t sparkle..I get it. As a Twilight fan, I’ve heard it all.
Why do Harry Potter fans and Hunger Games fans, etc, bash on it so much? It’s a different genre, so it’s not like it’s competing with HP. That would be a bit different.
It’s the haters of the saga that make Twilight fans embarassed to be Twilight fans. And the books are so much better than the movies. And give it a chance before you hate and call it gay. It’s not gay.
We all have different intrests, deal with it and accept me for who I am instead of judging me for what I like.
Oh, and for the record, I am a Hunger Games fan too.

You’re right… it’s not gay… it’s paedophilia.
People wouldn’t hate it so much if it wasn’t so problematic against women’s rights and the whole pedophilia issue.
Don’t forget the abusive relationship part.
Yes, OP has rather missed the point. Sparkly vampires are inherently silly, sure, but that’s not the problem. I like a lot of silly things myself! You want to read about a sparkly vampire love story, I won’t stop you.
My problem with Twilight, and why I (and a whole lot of other people) ‘hate on it’ is the sexism, racism, glorification of abusive relationships, thinly veiled religious propaganda, highly questionable morality on the part of the protagonists, constant undermining of women’s rights, worrying subtext on vital and complex issues such as rape and abortion, and the fact that all this shit is aimed at pre-teen girls.
The fact that there might be young people growing up today who think that removing your girlfriend’s car engine so that she can’t visit her friend is a romantic gesture, scares me.
The fact that a guy falls in love with a baby and then grooms her throughout infancy to love him, even giving her a ‘promise ring’ when she is still a child and this is seen as a healthy relationship, scares me.
The fact that at one point two of the male ‘heroes’ have a conversation about forcibly knocking a girl out with drugs and aborting her baby without her consent, scares me.
The fact that this series of books is so popular really fucking scares me. As someone who has read all of them, I have nothing but anger and contempt for the series. So no, I won’t ‘judge you for what you like’. I will however, continue judging the shit out of these books, and I will not stop openly speaking out about how terrible and damaging they are.

ONE YEAR OF FAMOUS FACES | Alyson Hannigan & Seth Green in My Stepmother Is An Alien
Before they fell in love as Oz and Willow on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Alyson Hannigan (American Pie, How I Met Your Mother) and Seth Green (Austin Powers, Robot Chicken) starred together in My Stepmother Is An Alien back in 1988.
I was, and am, SO invested in Willow and Oz.

This book was basically the aquatic version of Elmer the Elephant and I LOVED IT.

Anonymous please.
ugh FINALLY
FUCKING FUCK YES
I GET SO MUCH SHIT FOR BEING SKINNY
I totally agree with this, because I think I see larger girls give skinner girls crap more than it happening the other way around. But I think the only thing that really matters is as long as people are healthy.
Finally.
I hate when i get glares for being skinny (sometimes from a teacher), being called anorexic, i gave up going to the bathroom at lunch time, just so i would have rumours saying i was bulemic. When they told me to gain weight I told them that i tried, many times, and that it’s physically impossible for me to gain weight at the moment. I don’t even tell them to lose weight because they are beautiful just the way they are.
So yes, I’m proud of my tall, long limbed skinny body, proud of my weight because it’s healthy, it’s MY natural body weight, it’s in the family and i was born this way. Even when there was a time when i was very insecure about it, because of the glares and the hate they sent my way. I got over it, because they shouldn’t hate someone for something as trivial as weight, as physical beauty, there are more important things in life.
/rant
SO TRUE. If you’re happy and healthy, more power to you! I’m coming to terms with my bulges and wobbly bits, and I wouldn’t dream of stopping anyone from being about their bony knees and skinny thighs. I might be jealous, sometimes, but that’s my problem.
