Talk:Twilight (novel)

Credit to Dana and Zeldaqueen for providing much of the material (and scans of the graphic novel from which to yoink images); I've never actually read any of these books, so their blog things proved quite illuminating. 1234 ~ 22:33, 5 January 2012

There's one thing I've always been wondering about. Why is there an apple on the book cover? —Sir Socky (talk) (stalk) GUN SotM UotM PMotM UotY PotM WotM 22:43, 9 January 2012

Because apples are hard. 1234 ~ 23:06, 9 January 2012

If you leave them lying around for long enough, they can become soft, however. —Sir Socky (talk) (stalk) GUN SotM UotM PMotM UotY PotM WotM 10:48, 10 January 2012

As with most things, really. Except maybe ideas. And metaphors. And bad writing. 1234 ~ 16:16, 10 January 2012

Oh, Christian symbolism. I should've guessed. —Sir Socky (talk) (stalk) GUN SotM UotM PMotM UotY PotM WotM 21:29, 10 January 2012

That sort of thing probably should have had some place in the article, but I know nothing of religious symbolism. >.< 1234 ~ 23:43, 10 January 2012

Twilight is about a girl's choice between bestiality and necrophilia

I'm shocked there's no reference to this description in the article. It would probably fit in easily. EGarrett (talk) 11:23, April 5, 2012 (UTC)

I can't speak on behalf of the original author of the article, but for myself I've heard that joke a significant number of times. The problem there is a major element of humour is surprise (and in this case status change). Using an overused joke robs it of a lot of its humour. (Even though that is a good joke.)

The people who've heard will read right past it, the people who haven't will laugh. It could even be stated in a way that acknowledges its status, "As is well-known, Twilight is about an autistic girl's choice between bestiality and necrophilia," then go into further description or extend the humor. That would get the new people and set-up more for the ones who've heard it, without suggesting that it's a new line. It'd be a decent way to fill-in some of the dead-space lines in the article, since even an older joke is better than no joke at all. I'm not going to forcefully put it in or anything, unless a fully-formed line comes to me that extends the joke comes to me. EGarrett (talk) 12:08, April 5, 2012 (UTC)

This was a featured image, btw

Yeah... Re-reading the article then suggests that the joke would be out of place with the concept and narrative flow. As would the image on the right here. Funny, definitely, but suited, I don't think so. Nominally Humane! 12:49 05 Apr
