Critical Analysis of Twilight 问题

Has Twilight Ever Gotten In The Way Of Your Friendships?

Does it?

It has to me. All my 老友记 have read the Twilight 或者 seen the films, so have I, for that matter, but I, unlike them, hate it. I feel alot like a gooseberry around them now. They're always going on about Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner (ESPECIALLY Taylor Lautner) and such. When it first started,I didn't mind so much, they raved for a bit, but then that was it. But ever since New Moon came out, they've turned into violent
-really violent- fangirls.

They started tattoing Taylor Lautner's name up and down their arms, wrists and hands, often decorated with little stars and hearts, I, making a joke, tattooed Rupert Grint's name on the side of my wrists and they attacked me. Now, my friend, Josie has started 写作 a book, it's EXREMELY like Meyer's 写作 and her main character is an obvious Mary-Sue in a 爱情 三角形, 三角 with two boys (Sound familiar?) I was really kind with my critism, but she didn't take me seriously. So it got worse, I tried to be a little 更多 blunt and she completely freaked out.

She 说 that she didn't care what I said, that she was her own person, so I 说 that she was her own person, but whats the point in asking my opinion if 你 don't want to be critised. Then she 说 my opinion didn't matter. I then got a little annoyed and that and said, very sarcastically, that she was going to be a GREAT 作者 if her book didn't get published straight away. And she pretended she didn't sense my sarcasm and 说 yeah,she was, even better than me.

That struck me hard. 写作 and 图书 are my life, and I've always wanted to be a writer. I got upset and (I know this is mean, but I was IRATE) I 说 'At least my 写作 has a voice, yours just sounds like Meyer's, and anyways WHO'S poem got published in a proper book?!'

Now, effectivley, I am a loner at school. My only friend who agrees with me, Rudy, doesn't go to my school, so I'm all on my lonesome.

I just wanted to hear your stories, kittehs, see if you've gone through wha

Critical Analysis of Twilight 答案

zelo said:
OHHHH poor you!!! Don't worry 你 will be a fantastic author! I have met Twi-hards who I never knew come up and call me a 婊子, 子 for loving Harry Potter and my cousin also is overly obsessed. Twilight has interfered with my friendships as well.
My best friend, Heather loves Twilight and at first I was often having to put up with everything about Twilight. I was, often finding myself in a hard postition, should I break a friendship with a girl who I've known since I was seven 或者 put up with Twilight. Heather, obviously, died down and she didn't attack me for hating something she loved. But it didn't always work out that way. My friend, Ellie loves Twilight and she got a proper tatoo down of of the Twilight 苹果 on her back. She made me come when she got it down (personally it looked like the most painful experience ever.) She also got gor Taylor Laughtner's signature on her tatooed on her arm. She did that herself, because she already bought his signature from something and did some printing on her skin.
This former friend of mine, Charlotte, attacked me when I 说 I disliked Twilight. I didn't even critisize it, but she still attacked me. Like she jumped on me, and one) she's so much taller than me and 2) I'm super petite and she's a lot 更多 muscular, so I broke my arm (no joke!) That's when our friendship ended. (Though, I'm still 老友记 with Ellie, because she's fine when she isn't a Twilight fanatic, but it can get to be a pain!)
My other best friend Lucy and I are the only HP 粉丝 at the school, which is kind of sad. Twilight has played a pain in the neck part in my friendships with many people. My other 老友记 don't mind Twilight, but luckily they are not such fanatics....
Sometimes I feel like I want to pull my hair out at times... and I have tried, but I didn't actually pulled my hair out.
Twilight has also come as a blow to me. My 老友记 have often unknowingly insulted me directly, particularly Ellie, for hating Twilight. Heather has always been kind and supportive about it, but that mainly has to do with the fact that I'm her best friend and that she's mine. Sooo... yeah Twilight has gotten in the way of my friendship several times, and it still does!!!! So I know how 你 feel.

Aww, your poor thing. Me and my friend, Alice are the ONLY Harry Potter 粉丝 at my school. (We wuvs Dobby) But she's only in my science and technology, so I'm left with my "friends" in thr other classes. Twilight has gone too far. It's tearing up FAMILIES as well as friendships, my sister is a twi-hard and me and my older brother don't speak to her anymore because we don't wanna hear her squeal all the time. It's good to know that other people feel what I feel.

Ohhh, im sorry about your sister. It's the same with me and Lucy being the only HP 粉丝 at school.

For me its not tearing up my family, i mean i talk to my cousin when shes not being stupid, so i feel bad for u!!!

I'm so sorry, GrintCat. :( I had no idea. I can't relate totally, because I think I only have 2-3 good 老友记 at my school (I'm graduating 下一个 month, so I honestly don't give a damn about these people. They're retarded anyway), and they're loyal 老友记 who either think Twilight's okay 或者 really like it but are understanding if others don't. But I don't see them too often. So I could also say I'm a lone 狼 and 爱情 writing. I haven't 迷失 老友记 because of Twilight, but I have 迷失 friends. I'm so sorry for what happened to you.

I'm so sorry to read this. I really feel for you, baby. I know I'm lucky, but Twilight has never been a problem. Some of my 老友记 爱情 it and they know I don't like it, so we don't talk about it. We're friends, we have so many things in common a handful of 图书 and 电影院 mean nothing. It also may be due to the fact that, funnily enough, all my 老友记 who are fangirls have wonderful boyfriends, 老友记 of mine as well. They're all real guys, with real virtues and flaws, not creepy monsters of any kind and they're loved for who they are. I bet none of my 老友记 would dump them if Edward appeared out of the blue and ask them to be with him.

As for the 写作 part, I know how 你 feel and Twilight has nothing to do with it. I used to be a beta reader for a friend and she would go ballistic whenever I corrected her writings. I'm not even talking about plausibility 或者 fanfic characters being actually in character, but about things like "hey, 你 were using past tense, why did 你 change to present, then back to past if it's the same scene?". I stopped being her beta altogether, I couldn't put up with her crap. Being a beta is not saying "you rule, I 爱情 it!" if 你 encounter errors. You're supposed to correct, not to disregard mistakes.

I truly hope things get better and that 你 find new, real friends. If your so-called "friends" turn their back on 你 just because of a fandom, whichever it is, they're not friends, they're just mean, childish people.

Thanks, that helps. I know what 你 mean about the beta reader, when she asked for my opinion -this is her exact words- "Ok, 你 can tell me the things I done well and then one short sentence of critism" <- I couldn't fit it into one short sentence. XD -Sigh- yes, I have got 老友记 now. They're less 流行的 than my old 老友记 but they are MUCH nicer.

*Hugs for you!*

I haven't got a story, as I don't really have any 老友记 anymore, and the handful that I speak to every so often, aren't really interested in Twilight. But I can remember being at school, and the 老友记 I had... they were the kinds of girls that could get passionate about things (we were, at the time, passionate about a band called Busted...) and I can imagine them being like that, I think they did get like that a little over things, but somehow I always managed to stay out of the drama, while others in my group were at war! =/ ...
Do 你 think this will eventually blow over?

Poor you!!

One of my best 老友记 is totally obsessed. She is, like your friend, 写作 a story. She is the main character and is pretty much Bella. The worst thing is, she talks about the stuff that happens in her story like it has actuallyy happened. Its pretty creepy actually! lol.

I just play along with her.now what we do is I write part of her story, always ending up with Edward and her breaking up (usually becasue he turns gay for various people). She writes 更多 so they get back togeather. Maybe 你 should try this with your friend?
She got pretty mad at me at first, but I managed to convince her to laugh it off with me. Our friendship is 更多 important than that.

No, that has not ever happened to me. My 老友记 and I have argued about Twilight, but it hasn'r gotten in the way of our friendship...then again, it wasn't really "friends", it was 更多 like "aquantices", but I'm getting off the point...
And anyway, *hugs 你 again* really sorry!
