josephintheworld: Scholars, Mormons, and TWILIGHT!
For the first time in my life I’m tempted to read Twilight, but just so I can write a paper on Mormon intertextuality in the Twilight series …
josephintheworld, that is SUPER NERDY!
BEST POTENTIAL PAPER EVER!!!!! :D
Today I totally brought my copy of GOSPEL PRINCIPLES to class and shared a part that I thought was relevant, only I felt like a dweeb ‘cause nobody was like, “OMG THAT IS SO GROOVY!” in response; they were just very silent. But the professor was interested (she’d read tons about Mormon/religious themes in TWILIGHT—and learned almost everything about Steph Meyer), which made me feel not as emo!
Anyway, if ever you do read the saga, you could totally even read the German translation!
Love,
Bananena

OK guys, these screencaps from ECLIPSE = Chapter 13 of TWILIGHT, i.e. Erotic Meadow Scene
(I compare this to THE HUNGER GAMES’ Erotic Cave Scene)
They even have a NCMO! ‘Cause Edward’s like, “There’s something I want to try” while they’re all experimentally touching each other’s faces, arms, etc.
He says he doesn’t think that they can ever get married
but we all know that Edward always changes his mind, so NBD!

“Or, if you don’t believe that all this world could have just happened on its own, which is hard for me to accept myself, is it so hard to believe that the same force that created the delicate angelfish with the shark, the baby seal with the killer whale, could create both our kinds together?”
Edward does a lot of philosophizing in this chapter, and the first thing that came to my mind when I read this was
For it must needs be, that there is an opposition in all things. If not so, my first-born in the wilderness, righteousness could not be brought to pass, neither wickedness, neither holiness nor misery, neither good nor bad. Wherefore, all things must needs be a compound in one; wherefore, if it should be one body it must needs remain as dead, having no life neither death, nor corruption nor incorruption, happiness nor misery, neither sense nor insensibility.
— BOOK OF MORMON (2 NEPHI 2:11)
“But you see, just because we’ve been…dealt a certain hand…it doesn’t mean that we can’t choose to rise above—to conquer the boundaries of a destiny that none of us wanted. To try to retain whatever essential humanity we can.”
OMG THIS IS EDWARD’S INSPIRATIONAL MESSAGE TO SOCIOPATHS EVERYWHERE!!

“His skin was as icy as ever, but the trail his fingers left on my skin was alarmingly warm—like I’d been burned, but didn’t feel the pain of it yet.”
Haters gonna hate, but this is a perfect Gothic line from TWILIGHT: the unexpected heat from the ICE-COLD VAMPIRE. It’s super dramatic and also beautiful as a real sensation that readers can imagine using their own experiences of being burned or of being in extreme temperatures.
Shakitology: Nothing works in this dorm!
Deep soapy water? I once find my clothes in deep black water in that laundry machine. There’s only one building for girls’ dorm here, so same building but different floor.
x_x OH, THE HORROR!!
Definitely time to be a woman from ancient times. Listen to Shakira while you handwash those clothes and it will make everything better!
4 - Shakitology: Nothing works in this dorm!
Ever since I got in this university and moved to the dormitory on the campus. I’ve lost count of how many times the laundry machine has been broken, and I have to take my heavy load of clothes all the way to another floor. Not to mention the days I have to secretly cook in my room, worrying that…
AAAAAAH, this sucks so freaking bad!! Pobre hermana! I totally know these feelings! Our apartment building’s washing machines are the same; I’ve been avoiding doing laundry because I’m afraid I’ll come back and see my clothes floating around in deep soapy water again, so I’ll be handwashing them soon too. :(
Will you be living in a different dorm building next year? Hope it’s better!! :(
