I just closed a tab that was a page on Henry Jenkins' website. My friends suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck. I attempted to wade through that ponderous prose and just gave up and asked for a summary. Yet I kept the tab open...thinking I would read it? Idk.



Seriously, do I need to read the books? I am inclined to read them so I can negotiate the show from the proper perspective, but I hesitate as I was burnt on THAT OTHER VAMPIRE CRAPFEST TEEN SERIES. How bad are they, with Twilight as the gold standard?



Are there coms and junk yet? I just dumped all the ontds off my fl so I have room for new garbage coms I can scroll over.

YOU ARE WRONG AND YOUR OPINION IS WRONG AND YOU ARE A BAD PERSON AND SHOULD FEEL BAD FOR BEING WRONG ON THE INTERNETS. BADLY. AND WE MUST NOW ENGAGE IN INTERNETS FISTICUFFS.

I MEAN. WHAT.

Yeah, true, Sookie is presented as someone who is Always Doing The Right Thing, which is pretty stupid and gross. And there's a lot more of the "justifying bad decisions" going on with her as well.

Look, dammit, my entire point here (OK YES BADLY MADE I ADMIT) is just that I liked reading Twilight better because there was so much more "OMG WTF IDEFK HALP" going on inside my head at the time. Obvsly this is because I enjoy flailing with outrage, trufax. Actually, if ever I were to approve the idea of a mass book-burning, it would be for the collected works of Stephenie Meyer. Now, the Sookie Bookies - they were really just giggly fanfic foolishness, you know? They didn't like, violate my very being with their evil ways, and cause me existential darkness and rage and angst.

THE ALIENS WILL SPARE YOU IF YOU MAKE ME THEM SOME PIE.
