Yeah, women are absolutely incapable of watching their children, especially if they have free will. They might corrupt them to be horrible people with no morals! Where's the father?! Good god, we need menz to fix this catastrophe!

Mariann 05-20-2010 11:51 PM

Quick! Get Edward - he's so obsessive he'll watch people while they sleep! And bring Jacob with him - he'll fall in love with women as babies to make sure they have protection for life!

Rising_Violet 05-20-2010 11:57 PM

Don't forget that Edward is so controlling that there's no way that things will get out of hand, unless he deems himself dangerous and runs away. Or that Jacob is willing to sacrifice himself for the benefit of others by giving them puppies!

Mariann 05-21-2010 12:29 AM

Yes, of course! The kids are important - all women should have lots of kids, so that they're stuck in the kitchen making sammiches instead of *gasp* THINKING! O.O

Rising_Violet 05-21-2010 12:46 AM

Pshea, woman can't think. And then they can, only horrible things happen.

PhoenixIllusion 05-21-2010 04:52 AM

But you have to admit, they look so cute when they think they can control men with their feminine-whatever. But indeed!

Besides, everyone knows that women's roles are to raise plenty of sons for the men so they can protect the wimminz!

Oh, lets get Edward to dazzle the women so their non-existent thought processes can be interrupted!

And afterwards, lets all get a beer and talk about how we beat our wives into submission while playing poker! Jacob can't come tonight, but Edward's free and willing to buy the rounds with his vampire riches!

Mariann 05-21-2010 04:57 AM

Lovely! Hopefully men like Edward and Jacob can teach women their true place - the kitchen, barefoot and pregnant!

PhoenixIllusion 05-21-2010 05:12 AM

Hey, but if they're always in the kitchen, who would clean up the house? MEN sure wouldn't, we're too important and busy being manly to bother with cleaning up after ourselves!

Ah, ain't it great to be a Mormon?

Mariann 05-21-2010 05:14 AM

Oh yes, really. Apparently she's got Mormon propaganda all throughout her books.

PhoenixIllusion 05-21-2010 05:21 AM

Yeah, so I heard.

Is she really a Mormon, though?

Whisper Invictus 05-21-2010 05:51 AM

Eee! So much talking~! Cant concentrate on words...~! :XD hehe.

Rising_Violet 05-21-2010 03:32 PM

I think she's mormon.. that's what the rap is from everyone anyway.. Also Smeyer herself stated that she can't watch rated R movies because of her religion, I don't know. To the research box I go!

----------

OKay! I have two links for you about Smeyer herself. =3 I think they also provide ample discussion topics.

Lmao.
I read all the books.
I loved them.
I must say i did.
...
But!
The movie and fangirls really did ruin it for me.
Honestly now.
Not to mention how stupid Bella is.
...
"Oh hey there.Im Bella and fell in love with a dead guy who sparkles and looks like he jizzed in his pants cause i smell to good to eat"...."Not to mention all the trouble ive gotten into"

PhoenixIllusion 05-22-2010 04:03 AM

....Hallmark cards?

Lol.

Larxene 05-22-2010 11:53 PM

What about Hallmark cards now?
o.o

Whisper Invictus 05-23-2010 12:41 AM

is it in the articles Vio posted? Havent gotten around to reading those yet >:3

Boobical_Ribs 05-23-2010 01:57 AM

I was at the book store with my boyfriend.
And we came across a parody of the series.
Nightlight.
LOL it was funny.

Larxene 05-23-2010 02:00 AM

Nightlight? XD
I must go Google this and see what it's like, lol.

Tae Sheng 05-23-2010 02:53 AM

Heh just saw the earlier post by Wings of Writing when she went over the sun light + Vampire should = ouchie instead of sparklies! Well what if they exploded into a pile of shimmery dust?! But yeah I read them all watched the first one. Also I work in a library so I got to deal with squeeling preteens through squeeling adults. Ugh. Poorly written in my opinion but funny in the right context.

Rising_Violet 05-24-2010 04:18 PM

xD I have a friend that believes that Smeyer should be given a medal. Not because he likes twilight, but because Smeyer is a genius. Just like the person that invented the Pet Rock. To make something so plain and outrageously horrible into such a booming success is quite a work of genius.

I have to admit, that after he got done ranting his tidbit, I agree. xD It is genius in the manner that Smeyer writes so that any female can place herself so utterly into the character that she's obsessed with the book. Smeyer may be a horrible writer, but she's accidentally(?) genius.

o.o; and I dunno about hallmark cards...

Larxene 05-24-2010 04:21 PM

Oh god.
She's created a Mary Sue where another Mary Sue can take its place.
SCARY.

Mariann 05-25-2010 12:53 AM

I'm sorry it took me so long to get back to this!

But yes, Nightlight was hillarious. There's also Twishite, buy Stephen Jenning, which I can't find at all, and New Moan, by Stephordy Mayo, which was really good.

Smeyer isn't much of a success - in fact, almost no one had heard of her books (Twilight was published in 2005) before someone decided to make a movie out of them. People got into the books because they heard the movie was coming out, so Smeyer's success isn't really her own doing.

Larxene 05-25-2010 01:16 AM

I'm going to have to go and look these parody books up. XD

Mariann 05-25-2010 02:17 AM

You should! They're wonderful. There's this one line from New Moan that describes Bella's personality perfectly:

"I grew up in Sunnytown, Nevada. It never rains there. Ever. There's glorious sunshine 365 days of the year. In a somewhat pointed contrast, the town of Spatula in an unidentifiable northern state was the exact opposite; it never did anything but rain. I could understand why my mom had been so keen to leave. When I got to the age of six and realised that the world did in fact revolve around me, I'd made my father visit me in Sunnytown rather than suffer the indignities of a place where the sun didn't shine."

Larxene 05-25-2010 02:39 AM

Oh god, that is awesome. :lol:
