“It’s like ‘Harry Potter’ plus romance plus good-looking people.” XP

Read the article. Yes. That is what the Kool Aid drinking teenage fans are like. Of the "new Harry Potter." I'm not usually one to knock fandoms, but... come on. Almost every thing I see from the Twilight fandom is EXACTLY like the comments above. At least with Pokemon, I mock some of the more outrageous elements of the fandom on a regular basis. As do most other fans I know of.

And my reaction to this story:




Yarg. Twilight. If you haven't read it... horrible book. Horrible series. Not as good as all the emo/goth kids tell you. Just trust me on this. (And I'm sick of everyone comparing it to Harry Potter, btw. Harry Potter was, you know, enjoyable.)

Find yourself a Libba Bray book if you want a good Goth romance, they're actually EXCITING. Really. Just... yeah.

he is.

Even though we all know he probably does A LOT of it offscreen.

No. As far as I know, there are no Twilight fans here, but then, I know the last thing you want is to be branded a menace AGAIN mistakenly.

Oh, and is it safe to assume your Kuroshi account is strictly business?

I'll explain why I ask this privately.

Yes.

I can imagine him facepalming very often, 'tis truly not easy being the Boss Rocket.

I guess you can consider Kuroshi strictly business if it makes things easier.

Yeah, I am not gunning to be on anymore wanted lists.

If my experience with cats means anything, I'm willing to guess 90% of that comes from strange Persian behavior.
