@ Lalitha: Wow, that was so beautifully expressed. :)iAnd I agree, she really butchered love. They weren't 'in love', they were creepy. lol. And then the whole Jacob imprinting on Bella's daughter? Even creepier. Especially considering the fact that Jacob was in love with Bella, then all of a sudden her daughter's his soulmate? Seriously? Ew.

@ Hannah: Our inner feminists should rebel at her portrayal of such a weak character, go ahead and rant! lol. :)

@ Shabzie: no comment. and now I want chocolate. Thanks Shabz.

Love,
Radz

Lalitha- I am speechless, that so true what you said. I was thinking the same thing. The only thing Twilight has going for it is the "love" story and even that is butchered beyond any repair. Kudos to your post (: chhilt (i'm sorry I still haven't catched your name😳) - I was going over Mer/Matt interactions and I with you now, I want them now! Shall we call them MaMer? (hahahahaha :D)

^^ Yay! Matt/Meredith FTW :P MaMer is nice ;) Doesn't this work out well? We can just ditch Alaric (never liked him for some reason) and Stefan/Elena, Damon/Bonnie and Matt/Meredith all live happily ever after ;) LOL

Thanks a lot Anhdara!😃
Oh def, the whole Jacob imprinting on Bella was sooooo creepy.😕 Even though many Twilight fans tried to explain the 'purity' of that concept, I couldn't get it!🤪

Thank you so much xobabiicakesz!😳 Yeah, even though Twilight's genre is romance, the romance in it is so creepy sometimes and it's a totally wrong message.

Why Twilight sucks:
1. A 5th grader can write better.
2. Vampires do not sparkle in the sunlight.
3. The above concept makes them sound like one of those sparkling barbie dolls.
4. Bella is annoying.
5. Bella is annoying.
6. Bella is annoying.
7. She's useless, whiny and thinks she doesn't deserve love. I agree with her.
8. She's a mary-sue. Need I say more ?
9. Edward's a creepy stalker. For the record, watching someone sleep is CREEPY.
10. Twilight is nothing but a book full of rosy adjectives for Edward.
11. Because of these two characters, Meyer made every other potentially good character seem bad. Eg: Jake.
12. Jake turns out to be a pedophile. WTF ?!
13. Um, How can Vampires make someone pregnant ?
14. Can Vampires technically be 'Vegetarians' ?
15. Twilight ruined the Vampire genre. Vampires were appealing because of their dark, shady, mysterious and dangerous aura. They were like monsters (with fangs) lurking behind shadows to pounce upon their enemy. Now, they're delicate barbie dolls hopping about from one tree to the other in their pretty and glossy sparkling skin.
16. It has no original plotline. Edward could have might aswell been human. Du-uh.
17. There's no love! It's obsession and infatuation.
18. Have I mentioned this before ? Bella is annoying.
19. TWILIGHT'S FANDOM IS CRAZY. STAY AWAY FROM TWITARDS. THEY'LL KILL YOU.
20. Meyer sucks.

Neeta, wow, you sure have a lot of pent-up hatred no? lol. I agree that Bella's a Mary-Sue. That, that annoyed me so much. All the side characters were so much more interesting than her, but Meyer didn't flesh them out enough. Seriously. And then what they went and did with Jake's storyline? Gross much? *shudder*

Edward was creepy. I agree. And vampires - they have fangs people! Fangs! They do not have venom. They are not reptilian. God, seriously. I was so pissed off with her screwing up the vampire genre. I almost gave up on it. Thank LJ Smith for TVD. I would have been so against anything with vampires otherwise.

Love,
Radz

hehehe cool topic Anhdara and I totally agree with you (BTW amazing essay as well...lol I bet your admission people must have enjoyed your essay)
I used to be a *crazy* Twihard...this was when the hype started with the movie and all...and yes I got swept up into the paranoia..anyways but now I'm come to the dark side and say that I cannot for the love of God stand Edward and Bella!...I used to love Edward but then after the great Dan Bergstein from sparklife (you guys HAVE to check his blogs out😛) taught me how wrong I was... I completely loathe Edweirdo(not Rob though...Rob's cute)...Jacob is amazing but I hate his story as well....my favorites were always Emmett,Rosalie,Charlie,Leah and Jacob...everyone else was just suckish...
coming to the whole vampire/horror genre..I hate scary movies..and stay away from those types of literature and movies but I do agree with the ridiculous "vamps sparkle in the sun" that just ruined vampires for me (I was always scared of Dracula ever since I saw a play in 9th grade about him)...and I do agree that TVD is much more interesting mostly because of Damon😍(I'm only on the 2nd one so dont know much about the story of the books...but I LOVE the show)
I agree that TVD is a much better book of the exact same genre because of the characters and the way the plot goes about....but I dunno I feel as if LJ Smith isn't that big of an improvement over Meyer🤔....maybe I'm saying this because I'm biased towards the show because I watched the show before I read the books and compared to the books the show is a million times better IMO.....I mean I'm just glad LJS didn't write TVD in 1st person...I HATE 1st person pt of view(except in Kite Runner)....I would hate to be stuck in Elena's head all the time🤢
I also agree with someone before me who said that its not the Twilight books but its the fandom that is unbearable...I cannot stand those ditzy teenagers who scream and shout every time something about Twilight is mentioned...It gets so obnoxious and I HATE i repeat HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE idiots who compare it to Harry Potter and say that Twilight is better😡 JKR is a billion times better than SM AND Stephen King (sorry I hate that guy...I hate anyone who says something bad about HP or JKR😛..I'm a crazy delusional HP fan)....I seriously would punch and kick and claw some one's eye out if they said that in front of me!
and basically I agree with everything that _LalithaJanaki_ said😊
so sorry for my irrelevant blabbering BUT... guys check out this blong! it will be worth your time😆😆
a couple of quotes from him

Argh! I hate you, Bella Swan! I hate you. I hate you. I hate you.

I hate your stupid mood swings. I hate that you think Edward is neat. I hate that you can't see how rad Jacob is. I hate that one moment you're the smartest girl in all the land, and the next moment you can't remember what month it is. I hate that you're mature enough to take care of your parents, but so immature that you think it's flipping awesome when someone kidnaps you.

I hate that you want to throw away your education, your future, your entire life just for the sake of some good-looking smelly monster. I hate your thoughts. I hate your dependence on others. I hate that you never scream and yell at Edward for treating you like a hamster. I hate that you left the Volturi Victims to die, and have never mentioned them or lost sleep over it since. I hate your shoes, because they're probably stupid. I hate the way you probably add an extra syllable to the word "theater." I hate you so much it hurts my hair. Agh!

And now, after saying something negative, most therapists agree it's important to say something positive. So Bella, I like your truck very much. And I bet your lasagna doesn't taste bad. We cool?

this one's from another blog
Bella landed the hottest guy on the planet, has a super hot werewolf yearning for her, and she still has the world's lowest self-esteem. I've said it before, but she will never be happy. Even if she won the lottery, became a vampire, won the lottery again, married Edward, got a perfect bowling score, and saved the life of a wish-granting leprechaun, she would still be miserable
and this one's from the Eclipse blog
The Cullens were waiting for Alice to see what will happen with this newborn vampire, before they head to the city. But the psychic Alice, the one who is responsible for keeping Bella safe, is having trouble seeing visions of Seattle. How bloody convenient. I hate Alice. She is as reliable as an indoor sundial. She is the fool who sees nothing. She is the worthless secondary character who only exists to shove the story forward. She is Alice "The Plot Device" Cullen!
😆I love this guy😆
