I read the end of Twilight.

Nothing could save it.

Nothing.

That good, eh? Perhaps it makes nice kindling.

[kippurbird.livejournal.com]

But then it would ruin the marshmallows.

We can't have that.

*pats shoulder in comforting fashion* There, there. We'll kill it with fire, don't worry.

[kippurbird.livejournal.com]

It'll take more than fire! It'll take atomic bombs!

The more I think and hear about the book, the more I wonder why I actually liked it in the first place. (Granted, I thought it was an okay book that I didn't have to spend a lot of thought on while reading.)

The friend who currently has my copy actually liked it for about the same reason, but while she spends a good deal of time on the internet, she's oblivious to the fangirls and to the reactions of everybody else. (Months ago, I promised her I'd take her to see the movie. I'm seriously beginning to regret that decision. Partly because I'm afraid of the fangirls. And partly because I'm afraid I'll laugh and snark during inappropriate moments. Or start talking about how True Blood is so much better.)

That's probably why. It's a cotton candy romance book. You're not supposed to think about those.

I think the fan girls would be lulz.

*ponders bribing/blackmailing/hypnotizing roommate into going for the lulz*

What about rocks falling, everyone dying? A kick-ass soundtrack? Dionysus speech? Cat macros? Surprise!crossdress? Cullen orgy?

And then Stephanie woke up, and it was all just a dream?

THIS!

Gives you tea and cookies.

There, there. Just read some Bujold and life will seem a lot better.

(BTW Thanks so much for the rec on Friday! I got at least seven comments from it!)

How about the "Normal Again" ending from Buffy?

The last scene shows Bella in Cullen-Forks Psychiatric Hospital in Utah. Her parents go to visit her, but there's no response. Later, they have a talk with her psychiatrist (Dr. Carlisle, naturally). The three of them talk about Bella's worsening mental health (she not only wants to die but believes that she can become a vampire) and a young orderly who has been arrested for stalking Bella. Bella has misinterpreted this obsessive stalking as true love, despite the fact that Eddie made numerous threats to and attempts against her life. Now that he's been arrested for stalking, attempted murder and cannibalism, Bella has sunk into a state of hopeless despression.

Her mother protests that stalking isn't love. Dr. Carlisle agrees. "Unfortunately," he says with a sigh, "there isn't much we can do for someone so determined to reject reality."

And the curtain falls.

Having read the end of Breaking Dawn, that would have been a better ending.

[kippurbird.livejournal.com]

ANYthing would be a better ending than that of Breaking Dawn

[kippurbird.livejournal.com]

I loved that episode. That and the DS9 Episodes with Sisko as the science fiction magazine writer. They're such interesting looks at what is reality etc.

That would have been a great ending.

You know, I was wondering. Would you consider taking the Mortal Instruments after Brisingr? I think that would be pretty interesting (and very likelyto cause a world of wank, but still).

[kippurbird.livejournal.com]

Never heard of the book?

[berseker.livejournal.com]

Ever heard of Cassie Clare? She was this huge BNF in the Harry Potter fandom. Mortal Instruments is the series she published in the last few years. The main character was reported in Canon_Sues three times (it´s a trilogy, after all).

*drops to knees* SPORK IT. Plot holes crop up every few pages, characters make Bella and Edward look sweet and well-adjusted, author has a fetish for snide psychopaths... all the stuff you love [to spork] in books! :D (I tried. Sanity failure set in around the time the main character, having come back to her and her mother's apartment to find her mother's missing and the place has been broken into, hears a loud noise while she's searching the bedroom - specifically described as if someone was banging around - and stands up and turns around slooooooooowly and DOESN'T BOTHER TO SLAM THE [open!] BEDROOM DOOR IMMEDIATELY. *facepalm* She deserved the ensuring monster attack, she really did.)

Well, Mortal Instruments (first book at least, that's all I've read) has something over Twilight at least. A sizable bit of plot, and it's actually darned enjoyable as long as you leave your brain at the door.

Though some bits made even my incredibly literate-tolerant self go WTF. XD

[shmeiliarockie.livejournal.com]

Which part was the worst for you? I like how her parents bought that she "fell down two flights of stairs" and "out a window". Also, that Edward's kiss literally stopped her heart. Oh, and he called her a prize he won. And then made the nurse give her pain meds event though Bella didn't want them, once again calling her difficult. That last chapter is, like, so totally romantic!

And then of course, there's the epilogue... OH GOD, MAKE THE MISOGYNY STOP. It really pisses me off that a woman thinks this shit up.

[the-norseman.livejournal.com]

Noez! She has to read Robert Stanek! I've already bought her one of the books way back when :-D Used of course.
