rachaelwsz "Imprinting was inspired by two different sources: ducklings and dragons. Imprinting actually exists in nature, but usually between parents and their offspring. I saw a nature documentary about ducklings imprinting on their moms and it always stuck with me. The other inspiration is Anne McCaffrey's dragon books (which, if you haven't read them, do so now! Start with Dragonflight). In her mythology, humans and dragons bond so tightly that if one of them dies, the other either suicides or goes mad. They love each other with an absolute and unreasoning love that never falters or changes. I was always captivated by this concept, and I wanted to explore that kind of life-changing and compulsory relationship." Bah. Compulsory relationship? ;_;

Myf_1992 Erm ok, I'm still creeped out by it.

katiecain Never should the words compulsory and relationship be put together.

Plenilunio I read that one at Frozen Apples, but I didn't know where the quote came from. What's funny is that her examples of imprinting provide yet one more reason why that creepy Jacob/Renesmee "love story" is not plausible: The Westermarck Effect (the link's to a Wikipedia article, it's better explained there)

Cinders My favorite part is when she uses "suicide" as a verb.

Plenilunio ^ Well, she coined the pseudo-word 'chagrined'... *rolls eyes*

MadamOcta13 "I was always captivated by this concept, and I wanted to explore that kind of life-changing and compulsory relationship." Oh, you mean like pedophilia?

14 Ways to Annoy Obessive Twilight Haters (there are some)

posted by sapherequeen

*I'm sorry if I offended anyone on this spot, I just did this to be funny, not mean..same with my Twilight fangirl article*

1) If u know a girl who despises Twilight and is crazy about hating it, send them a box with a poster of Edward with the words "My Dream Guy" on the poster
2) Tell a Twilight hater that Ron Weasley is Emmett's b***h
3) Tell them that REAL men sparkle
4) When a group of Twilight haters are surrounding you, stand in the middle of the group and shout out "I'M A CULLEN, EVERYONE!" then sing "I am a vampire" door Antsy Pantsy

10 Reasons Why the World Needs Twilight

posted by Mysteriamoon

Yeah, I know all the uber-fans are saying "Well, why didn't u see it sooner?" and all the antis are saying "The world DOESN'T need Twilight!"But I ask that u listen to what I have to say, anyway.

As strange as it seems, the world actually needs Twilight. It does some good things for us. I am mostly an anti, so it took all my prainpower to come up with these reasons, but here they are, and the meer I think on it, the meer I realize they're true.

Being a Twifan at the CAT spot can be tough.

posted by rachaelwsz

If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. (Romans 12:18~ New Testament of the Bible)

I felt like writing this artikel after reading a fellow ex-CAT member's artikel on Twilight haters. I also had a 'talk' with another ex-CAT member.

"4) Twi-haters, this isn’t a hater of anti spot. Don’t abuse it. Do not make personal attacks against Stephenie Meyer of her fans, and don’t throw nasty of immature insults at Twilight. This is supposed to be “Critical Analysis of Twilight”, not “Mindless Bashing of Twilight”."

MY opinion of Bella mary sue zwaan-, zwaan

posted by kayleebabee

In my opinion Bella cannot do anything but whinge I have got here a direct quote from SM's Eclipse,
"Whenever I talked about jacob, His tawny eyes seemed to get a little bit darker my voice turned pleading in response."
Translation: Pleading = whiny
When Edward Leaves in new moon she goes into a "deep depression" I.e is so hung up on Edward that when he leaves she practically goes insane, and yet she still does not place the blame firmly where it belongs at Jasper Hales gaddamned door and he was all like hallo are we cool?

Jessica; A Rant

posted by renrae

We have a discussion on the forums here about noteworthy things in twilight. I picked Angela, and now I realize that Jessica is noteworthy, too.

We'll start with Jessica!Hate. Besides Lauren, Jessica is probably the most hated human friend that Bella has. Reasons Twilighters give for this are 'Jessica is a brat', 'she ignores her in book two', 'she's too hyper', and 'i just don't like her'. Some of those are just ridiculous. 'Jessica is a brat'. How? How is Jessica a brat? Answer: She isn't. 'she ignores bella in book two' I'll elaborate on this one later, because it's pretty big. 'shes...

Don't Watch the films First

posted by Mephadowfangirl

Well, I'm a Twilight fan, but I like to be critical of the series anyways. But recently, I discovered that a lot of the Twi-hater fanbase (or hatebase?) has been consisted of mostly people who have only seen the movies, and I instantly saw how there were so many Twi-haters.

Let me just start off door saying that the movie sucks a**, and I'm being NICE! The acting is terrible, they cut out about half the book and completely interpreted the book in all the wrong ways, the script sounded like it had been written door a five jaar old, and the actors portrayed the characters so poorly, I almost became...

If u have ever doubted the insanity of the C.A.T. Kittens, this will cease your doubts. I think it got long enough to be put into artikel forum thread. This makes absolutely no sense, does have swearwords, includes lots exremely odd things, and is kind of innapropriate. You've been warned.

What were Edward's Reasons for Leaving Bella in New Moon?

posted by mandapanda

I geplaatst this a couple other spots, but I would really like to know anti-twilight/neutral fans opinions. I sort of ranted on the subject, but I think my intent is pretty clear. I'd love to read commentaren if u have any, of u can just skip this artikel :)

This is sort of an informal rant/observation.

We all know that New Moon is about tragedy and the loss of love and the aftermath. Edward left Bella. But why did he leave her?

Since New Moon is being adapted into a feature length film, I've been seeing alot of vragen and accusations reguarding Edward's absense.

Examples:

Twilight in Short. How many trees could SM have saved?

posted by huddysmacked

Hey ya kittens! I was wondering in how many words could I write Twilight giving the same character development as Meyer and saying obviously the main plot so don’t bash…I had a lot of fun doing it XDD It’s not to offend anyone but think about it trees could have been saved if Meyer had stuck with this version.

Rules and Guidelines (Updated!)

posted by Dearheart

1) Bring a good sense of humor. Don’t ever take things personally, and try not to be too sensitive. Otherwise you’ll be miserable. Just let loose, have fun, and be willing to laugh.

2) If someone offends you, don’t blow up. Respond in a polite, mature way, point out what offended u and why u find it offensive. If it’s something serious of happens to be one of the things forbidden in Rule 5, chances are people will back u up and the problem will work out. If it isn’t, reread Rule 1.

3) Twi-hards, this isn’t a place to drool over Edward of gush about how amazing the Twilight...

Lauren: A Mini-Rant

posted by renrae

Lauren, Lauren, Lauren, Lauren. She's the blond girl in twilight. The one tricked door a modeling scam, the one that hates Bella. We first meet Lauren in the cafeteria, I believe. Almost all Twilight fans do not like her. I mean no disrespect to the ones on this spot of any others, but I do not think she has a reason to be hated. Reasons people give for hating Lauren are similar to the reasons for hating Jessica. "She's rude", "She's mean to bella and stupid", even "she's blond." That last one made no sense to me. The reason Lauren "hates" Bella is because her crush, Tyler, is infatuated with...

My view;

posted by AliceHaleCullen

I'm so glad to have found a spot that isn't full of people gushing over how hot Robert Pattinson is. Since the movie came out, the original idea of the series has deteriorated.

I used to feel proud to call myself a 'Twilight' fan. I first read it in 2005, and to be quite honest I loved how nobody had read it, it seemed really special. So called 'Fans' who now go around using the word 'Twilighter' just because they have seen the film have ruined it for everyone else.

Fair enough, it's nobodies fault it has been made into an overated hyped movie, but if they really understood what it meant before...

The Success Of Twilight Versus The Failure of The Subtle mes

posted by Cinders

Despite whatever impressions u may have garnered from the titel of this article, this is not about glorifying Twilight over His Dark Materials. It's about scolding the movie industry for giving New moon the green light while simultaneously giving The Subtle Knife the red light.

I know that Hollywood is a business, just as book selling is a buisness, above all else. The only time films are made for the sake of making films anymore is if they're independent. I admit that the occasional brilliantly artistic film makes it into the mainstream, and when it does, it's often recognized and lauded....
