Also: Brote, Shakespeare, Chaucer, and Faulkner. Basic? Next you’ll be calling Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle morons. And I think we all remember what happened to the last guy who said that.
Great, now everytime I see New Moon I’ll be incapable of not imagining Bella going “DDEEEERRR” as she throws herself off the cliff. Seriously, that’s such win.
Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful! cheers, applauds, hands out medals to all involved The problem with telling rather than showing is that it trips you up so often…
Thank you!!! You condensed into two panels what I have always said: Bella is a Genius!Sue, like Gabriella from HSM: we are told she is smart, but we don’t see the smartness unless it is used to reaffirm how much smarter she is than everyone else.
Faulkner? Basic? Lolwhut??? As I Lay Dying is like… some sort of psychadelic drug trip… except during the Dust Bowl… sort of. I mean, who can really tell?
So Bella can barely put one foot in front of the other without suffering a balance fail, but yet classifies Faulkner as “basic.” dies
The Sound and the Fury was another trip and certainly not basic.
Curse you Bella Swan for being so infuriatingly ridiculous!
And thank you Kitty for the marvelous work.
Simple, to the point, and f-ing hilarious! Anytime I hear someone mention Twilight from now on, all that I’m going to be able to think about is, “DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER!”
Teehee. Kitty, you kinda need some sorta reward for this. Possibly including riches Bill Gates would envy and all the free candy you want.
…DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER!
@Amelie: I’m a total spaz, and I am, in truth, smart. Of course, I’m that special subset of genius that has “terminally dumb” as a side effect. Ah, ADHD. How I love/hate you.
The only thing I can say that I’m happy with in Twilight is that they don’t use ‘Hamlet’ as a metaphor. Thank God the Prince of Denmark doesn’t have to be associated with those books like an unfortunate Montague (actually, I never liked Romeo, so this doesn’t bother me) Oh well. Thanks for the laughs Kitty.

Steph the Phantasmagorical on 22 May 2009, 06:36 said:
WIN!!!
@ Apep: As I told you, it is absolutely, totally, and in all other ways inconceivable that Bella isn’t a genius! Despite what the facts say!

And for even more pretentiousness- Edward says that she could go to Dartmouth for college, no problem!
Even the Cullens don’t have enough money to bribe a dumbass in there…

Bella reads Chaucer?
She obviously didn’t read it well enough to be doing stuff like jumping off cliffs
Puppet on 22 May 2009, 17:27 said:
She probably got her suicide thoughts from watching Romeo and Juliet.
“Oh noes, Edward is gone, how can I live without him?”
Apep on 22 May 2009, 20:01 said:
Yeah, and apparently she (like most people) completely missed the point of the story.
Snow White Queen on 22 May 2009, 21:51 said:
We’re going to start reading it, fun fun. Never liked the general story much (who doesn’t know the ending?)…oh well.
But Kitty, your genius doesn’t seem to be going anywhere. Keep it up, please!

Basic rule of Good Fiction Writing: If you say your character is smart, don’t have her jump off a cliff.
