TikTok has some good takes, great takes even, but you can tell when someone hasn’t read the absolute dumpsterfire that is the twilight saga when they try to argue over something that SMeyer unfortunately has told us too much about
Like some girl was arguing oh we don’t know how old Ribosome will be when she matures! Uh we kinda do SMeyer said around 7 she’ll look 17. It’s in the book and the guide… or lol they can’t kiss with tongue. Like they do it’s in eclipse(?) or breaking dawn pre-wedding. Even steph was like a sprinkle of spice (as spicy as mormons can get anyways). Or someone was arguing edward’s salvia should have turned Bella when she swallows it? Like -! Or Jacob x Rhinoceros was CUTE with romantic edits and all like! Someone was romanticizing Rosalie, Emily, Leah, and Esme’s traumatic experiences saying it built them to become strong women like?? No babes shut it.
Twilight has so many flaws and problematic material. Let’s focus on those. If you’re going to criticize it let’s criticize it don’t just get on the bandwagon on hating it for giggles. Some amazing creators on here talk about Native representation, SA/PTSD/narcissism/depression, folklore used, plot holes, Mormonism - be critical and petty. Not just petty.
(Please no hate. I genuinely do think some TikTok creators are great but 1) read critically and 2) read what you criticize before going off of what people say. 3) I’m open for opinions on this! Just let’s keep it respectful!)
What do you think about this? I’ve seen that the cullen’s and co should’ve been fairies thrown around a lot but this is the first time I’ve seen angels.
Reader, wiggling furry wolfie’s face while giggling: “You have a smoothhh brain! No ridges or lumps or valley or bumps. All Ideas slide right off, like a water slide! Smoooothh brain, smooothhh”
Cut to Time, Four and Wild desperately trying not to burst out laughing while the wolf stares up at reader, very displeased.
