I think it should be classified as horror. A horror to literature... a horror to film...
This is all my personal opinion based on my expiriance with Twilight. The Books, The Movies, The Fans, and The Ever Present Twi-Tards.
Let's start WAYYY back. When I was in grammar school, I read a lot of books. I had ZERO friends. That's not an overstatement either. NONE. Book characters were my friends. They shaped my life and who I am. I have obsessions, like Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings. I understand loving a book/movie so much that it hurts. I understand having a crush on a fictional character. I, in no way, deny that I still have these obsessions and would not trade them for anything. I also know that even LotR and HP have Die-Tard fans who make me quote "You make me sick, and I want to kick you" (( Brentalfloss <3 )). But This... is far more annoying and maddening than any Potter-Tard I've run into.
Again, we go back. Right after I had finished reading HP PoA, and I was waiting for GoF to come out, I picked up The Lord of the Rings. My school told me that it was "too advanced" for me. I knocked the Trilogy out in three weeks. This kick-started my want for adult fiction, fantasy, and sci-fi. The next author I found was the lovely Anne Rice <3 and I fell in love with The Vampire Lestat.
Now, everyone at school... or most people anyway, made fun of me for everything I did. Even my love for Harry Potter, even though they all read it too. I liked the Marauders and "they're old!" and I loved Snape and Draco so I became the "dark girl" who liked "Evil things"
Lestat made that even more true. I liked VAMPIRES! Oh god did they have a field day! And I, as a young child, wanted to be a vampire. Be scary and immortal... beautiful forever... things no one else could have. I dreamed of it. ((Along with my acceptance letter to Hogwarts, which I would get first. Then, after 7 years there, I would become a vampire and the world would be a better place.)) Ah the dreams of a young girl.
So I loved vampires, I wanted to be one.
So how can I hate Twilight? How can I bash the Twi-Fags when I was a Vampire Lover too? And still am for that matter ((Tag-Team Alucard and Lestat for the win!))
I can because I was in third or fourth grade at the time! A time when indoor recess meant being left out of the Cat Club ((where the girls all pretended to be cats)). SO yeah, I'm not ashamed.
But now! I got made fun of for YEARS for liking Vampires, and now some sparkly douche who sucks at being a boyfriend and a person in general, who can walk in the sun and SOMEHOW pass his vampiric powers onto his CAR comes along, and I'm made fun of because I DON'T like the shitty Fairies-pretending-to-be-vampires.
I read all the books. I saw the first movie. That's more Twilight then I feel I need in my life. I do have an educated opinion.
I just can't stand when a senior in high school informs her bf that she won't go to prom unless they both dress as Edward and Bella... there's a problem.
Like, don't get me wrong, If you both WANT to do that thats... well... up to them. I won't judge. Hell, I would have gone to prom in Hermione's dress if I could have.
It's the "I HAVE to" and the SHOVING TWILIGHT DOWN PEOPLE'S THROAT that I can't stand.
I cannot BELIEVE some things people do/say when it comes to Twilight... They are selling the wedding/engagement/whatever ring and the wedding dress from Twilight which is cool for fans, but there are so many people out there who are like "I'm only going to marry a guy if he proposes with the Twilight Ring" or "I will only wear bella's dress!" and I'm serious about this. It's so stupid. I commend you as a fan if you own the ring or whatever, but don't be so obsessive that you won't let your guy pick out a ring he likes for you. The Twilight franchise just wants money and **some** of the fans ((not ALL)) are fucking stupid... >.>
And guys... don't get her the Twilight ring if you can avoid it ok? I mean, part of love is originality in your relationship. You don't want to BE Edward and Bella. You want to BE you and your sig. other... you know?!
Urgh... that's it for now. I could rant for days.
((To the twi-fans, who just love it for what it is... I am not in anyway trying to insult you or your opinion))
