#like they. like it for itself? because its been so anathemized and torn to shreds

[bookwyrminspiration]

kay so i work at a theatre (the weirdest one in the world imo) and tonight! we have a twilight themed burlesque performance that i knew you, the twilight mutual in my phone, had to know about. i can hear staying alive playing from the theatre as i write this. i feel like everything about this is perfect

the plot of twilight is edward desperately singing stayin alive at bella meanwhile she throws herself in the middle of every disastrous situation in a 100 mile radius and asks him to kill her

It always catches me off guard when I remember twilight was/is like. a whole phenomenon. and not just the weird book series I read like seven times over at age 13. I see other people say they've read it or see a reference in pop culture and my brain has to reboot because it simply does not make sense

you're right I had to know about this so ty for sharing; I hope everyone in the performance and audience had fun :)

#the twilight saga #quil's queries #lgbtqforeverything #catches me even more off guard when people bring up twilight and like. i don't know how to word this #like they. like it for itself? because its been so anathemized and torn to shreds #so 95% of what I hear about it is people who haven't read it making the same haha sparkles dumb jokes #or making fun of it. which like. sure you do you #so when I hear someone on the other side of it like yeah I like it :) #it also doesn't compute but in like a legendary collector's edition way #like the same but leveled up #because to me twilight is like. watching a car crash #you can't look away #so anything else is like woah I forgot it's not just me turning this disaster that has attached itself to my brain #and that other people can and do actually know about it #anyway #i don't think I explained that well at ALL but oh well
