For tarnishing the listicle art form with her dark, jaded outlook on life.

Buzzfeed

There is no person on the planet who could dislike anything about a listicle about Twilight. Every single human loves listicles and every single human is a Twilight fangirl, former or current (or future, for those yet unborn). I have never in my life met anyone who you couldn’t perfectly file under both of these descriptions, and there’s no way I ever will.

My mom’s favorite listicle on the internet. She gave it two thumbs up, and said it was “so funny.” My mom is super nice so you can take her word for it.
