Natalie is a woman of her word. 10 months ago she ended her video with “Harry Potter is dead to me, I’m switching to Twilight, ” and here we are. Another masterpiece of a video.

"This book is bad, but it's bad in a way that's legitimately fascinating"
me when reading Plato's _Republic_

Putting a note on screen that says “I am not saying this I am quoting” is honestly so smart

[adamxbates]

I admire Natalie’s restraint in not making any jokes about filling her holes, very tasteful, very ladylike. Lacan says something similar.

When I told my aunt that she shouldn’t spend money on the lottery she said “I know I’ll never win, but for just 6 bucks a week I can dream about what I’d do with the money if I did” and that made a lot of sense to me.

Did Natalie just use Twilight as a trojan horse to deconstruct sexuality and kink in the world at large? Respect

I want this video to be a college class. I want a reading list, a syllabus. I want to take notes on the lectures and write weekly reaction essays and take a midterm and write a final paper. I think that would fix me.

There were no less than 5 times through out this video that i completely forgot i was watching a twilight video until it was mentioned again. At least twice I was really confused as to why it was even brought up

My grandfather was THE biggest twilight fan I've ever known. He found the Twilight series just after my grandmother passed away, and the books helped to fill a void in his life. He loved the books and he loved the movies. He loved the books so much, he installed a stereo system around his entire property so he could listen to the audio books wherever he was at, inside or out. And be listened to those books every waking hour. I was a young boy at the time, so I felt an obligatory disdain for the gushy love story, but my grandfather explained it to me, and I decided it was acceptable. He had a signed copy of each book, and when he passed, he left each of his children one of those books. RIP grandpa Eddie.

The REAL reason why Twilight is problematic is because Edward didn’t put his seatbelt on, so if they were to crash, his body would become a PROJECTILE that is a danger to EVERYONE. Strap in before you strap on. Buckle up EVERY TIME. You may be an immortal vampire, but your hot human girlfriend is not.

41:42 as someone who studied violin for 12 years, i agree that "musical edging" is the best way to describe the beauty of the trill lmao

[babyxblue]

"French philosopher and pervert" applies to literally so many of them 😭

[beebot]

Haven't read the books. Haven't watched the films. Have watched the full 3hr Contrapoints analysis in a single uninterrupted, unblinking sitting.

[HaleyJeanASMR]

“learn to think psychologically instead of literally” 👏👏👏👏 nailed it

[lorynw]

Anyone else get a little wave of appreciative warmth at Stephanie Meyer saying she doesn't need the world to know her every thought?

[friskybitzboi]

Not Natalie psychoanalyzing my AO3 history-

“Pride and Prejudice didn’t end with Darcy hunting down Wickham in a high-speed carriage chase” MAYBE IT SHOULD HAVE

A friend once told me this and i’ve never forgotten so i’m sticking it here:

Twilight is an average harem anime. Every weird and fetishistic thing that got it noticed is at or below average levels of weirdness/fetish for a harem anime. Dark, loner protagonist (somehow friendless despite being conventionally attractive) gets noticed by a cool vampire chick, who falls for them for sketchy reasons. A buff werewolf girl falls for them too, because reasons. They get involved in some weird vampire politics stuff and faff about with their love interests for probably too long before settling down and picking a waifu. Animate it, genderswap it, give it a japanese dub and no one would’ve noticed it existed outside its target market.
