Looking Hot<\/p><\/div>\n

Why? Look Left.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

No, but for real, I’ve had a weird obsession with Twilight<\/em> for some time. I’ve read all four books, I own the first three movies, I used to write about the series for my old job (I did plenty of other things too, don’t worry). And the whole time I am totally aware that Bella is a worthless female character, Edward is creepy, and Stephenie Meyer is a weird Mormon who relishes in abstinence and suffering. The books aren’t written well and I cannot honestly describe to you why you<\/em>\u00a0should like them. But I do.<\/p>\n

Those that know me can tell you right away why I like them. I know why I <\/em>like them. I’m a hopeless romantic. I’ll argue with you for hours about whether or not “love at first sight” exists. Have I ever experience this “love at first sight” phenomenon or do I know someone who has? No. Irrelevant! It exists. Period. True love, “the one,” etc – ALL of that. I straight up believe it all.<\/p>\n

And, at the core of it, that’s really what Twilight<\/em> is about (if you take out the Mormon core first, that is). Edward and Bella forever and shit. I love it all.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What’s weird about this obsession is that I’m not crazy obsessed with the characters or their love. It’s called “shipping” characters. The relationship is the “ship” that you love and champion. I don’t ship Edward and Bella or anyone in the Twilight series. So, it’s like I love it all for the idea but not much more.<\/p>\n

Breaking Dawn<\/em> is by far the worst of them all. Not only is there some domestic violence where Edward hella bruises Bella during their first sexual encounter, but there is also a vampire Caesarean section. I could keep going because there are a lot<\/em>\u00a0of problems with Breaking Dawn<\/em>. It’s terrible. Absolutely positively terrible and I have a high<\/strong>\u00a0tolerance for this nonsense. (side note: \u00a0I guess this might prove that the audience stops caring about the romance as soon as it’s determined that the main characters are together for good. This is a point I will probably argue for and against in later blog posts.)<\/p>\n

But give me Kristen Stewart in a bikini and I’m there. My old obsession with Twilight won’t let me not\u00a0<\/em>go.<\/p>\n
