In Kristen Stewart's defense, nobody could have done a good job with a script that calls for somebody 17 years old to enter a relationship with someone aged 104. I don't care what Edward looks like physically, that's essentially pedophilia. That was the main thing that turned me Team Jacob.
Not this again.....but the issue i tried to read twilight(like tried to read Highschool D X D), why ever she feel in love with jacobs? i knew this a teen series but still feels mumbling, again the series is just bad.
The writing of Twilight is beautiful, Stephanie Meyer she's is a master of adjectives. Also, one of the great skills of an author is capturing a person's life -- and I can say, from personal experience, that Stephanie Meyer captured perfectly how it feels to be hopelessly in love with someone out of your league when you are seventeen.
However, all this skill is devoted to characters who are absolutely pathetic. The only time in the series when Bella really takes initiative, in book 2, is when she abuses Charlie's and Jacob's trust to get her motorcycle. Edward himself is hopelessly needy and self-punishing at the same time. It's as if Michelangelo had used the finest marble to sculpt a garbage can.
And yes, I'm an adult male who read Twilight. And I am not ashamed!

Twilight came to Stephenie Meyer in a dream, so that's probably butterflied away.
Actually, I got an interesting idea for what I might do with her in the TL. Stay tuned for it.
Eoin Colfer still writes the Artemis Fowl series.
Twilight came to her in a dream, and it made her a millionaire.
I dream of having dreams like that!

Jacob got kinda stalker-y in the later books though, and that "imprinting" thing he had on Bella's daughter is even worse than the romance between Bella and Edward - Bella's almost an adult, her daughter on the other hand is a literal baby. Twilight in general is peppered with unfortunate implications and pushes a very conservative, Mormon-y outlook on relationships, something that's not surprising since Meyer's a Mormon herself.
However, Twilight feels more like a wasted opportunity than anything else, because it does have some redeeming features that could've been used by a better author to craft the best vampire saga since The Vampire Chronicles: the backstory of the members of the Cullen family is intriguing, for example, and the presence of different factions of vampires often at odds with each other is very reminiscent of Vampire: the Masquerade, just like the fact that vampires in Twilight are a hidden part of human society.
Alice Cullen, too. She's one hell of a redeeming feature.
Wait… If Twilight is gone, then that means no 50 Shades of Grey. Cool. Yusss.
One more thing. Will MatPat still create the Game Theorists? I know that's still a long way off, but this is a gaming timeline, and I feel that it may not be complete without him.

I know this is a question on Ry or Nivek can definitively answer, but I believe one of my Commander Keen entries mentioned Jirard "The Completionist" Khalil so I think the odds of MatPat creating the Game Theorists should be pretty good IMO.
I'm going to tell you a harsh truth. Unhealthy relationships, and bad writing, exist in all timelines. Someone else will write a different bad book that will be unsettlingly popular.
Let's hope it doesn't jump the shark as quickly as it did OTL (second book, when he started being a conventional hero).
It could actually work in a similar fashion to BOTW; Link could use pistols or Blunderblusses, but they'd be very innacurate. A key mechanic could also be sneaking up on enemies with Blunderblusses to get them with your sword. Basically, me lee would be better against groups while guns would be better for single combat; it could work.
True. On the other hand... Bear in mind, I know little to nothing about this stuff, but a couple of friends have told me that 50 Shades of Grey is universally loathed and condemned among people who IRL are into stuff like that because IRL, it's all consensual and sane, whereas in 50 Shades it's an abusive relationship.
So...maybe ITTL, instead of 50 Shades, someone will write a book about a relationship like that that's healthy rather than...well, the romanticised abuse-fest it apparently was OTL.
If anyone on this site works for Nintendo, I hope they're taking notes...
Dear God no. I refuse to believe that the "Player Two Start" / "Massively Mutiplayer" is one that has Game Theory existing,.
Game Theory is decent. The channels has a lot of drawbacks but is also slightly charming (for me at least). Its not the best, but... its not the worst.
Though a lot of MatPat's (including Game Theory and Film Theory) theories are pretty... eh (For example, Sans = Ness, Mario is Communist, Link is Dead, both the Wall-E and Cars theories, etc.), though when he gets into scientific theories he does them pretty well (for example, his recent Fallout one).

I think those are the clickbait articles but i will not confirm or denied anything for now.
