Guest Blogger: Don't Feed The Beast

 This was sent to me... from a friend (of a friend)

I liked it.

So here you go.

Dear Rose Readers,

I do not follow your "fandom" that much. I think the word fandom is cute. You seem to have developed a few words that are cute such as Robsten. So cute to smoosh their names together that way. Brilliant really.

I do read Rose's blog because I like how she writes and how her brain works. It makes me smile. In so doing, I keep up with some of the drama surrounding Robert and Kristen. For a long time I've wanted to say some things but have held back. This is Rose's blog with her thoughts and who am I, a non-fandom person, to interfere. However, this recent bit of drivel regarding "poor Rob drinking wine alone" well, it wasn't so different from the usual drivel but it set off something. Maybe other things in my life did that also but here we go.  Come along for a ride on the reality train with me. 

Point Number One

Do we really need to review that Kristen and Rob are a couple? Really? I know we do because there are still Nonstens or Ninnies or Hyenas or Nonnies who want to believe they are not together. I have a few issues with these people.  If you are a Nonsten (or that type) read the next few lines v-e-r-y  s-l-o-w-l-y  

ROBERT PATTINSON IS NEVER EVER EVER GOING TO MARRY YOU.  HE IS NEVER GOING TO LOVE YOU.  YOU DO NOT KNOW HIM PERSONALLY. YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW HE THINKS. YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT HE WANTS. YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS BEST FOR HIM.

Are you still a Nonsten?  Go read it again until you realize those lines are the absolute truth.

I'm leaving his love for Kristen out of this part purposely because even if (stress the IF) he were not with Kristen (and he is, quite) ROBERT PATTINSON WOULD NEVER BE WITH YOU.  

How do I know this? Because for a couple years now I have had the unfortunate experience of seeing candy ass kisses and dolphin and the rest of you on twitter and elsewhere. I have seen the nonstens attack people and make fun of them. I've seen them make pornographic manipulations of Rob and his friends. I've seen them threaten to kill or wish death on people who disagree with them and on Kristen.  I've seen them take an Edward Cullen doll on a trip to England to stalk Robert.  I've seen them manipulate pictures to zoom in on Rob's crotch.  I've seen them lie and be discredited and lie some more.  

It is because of these actions that I can assure you, that I would stake my life on the fact that ROBERT PATTINSON IS NOT ONLY DISGUSTED BY YOU BUT WOULD CERTAINLY NEVER, NOT IN A MILLION YEARS, NOT IF YOU WERE THE LAST PERSON ON EARTH, NOT EVER WOULD HE WANT TO SPEND A MINUTE OF HIS TIME WITH YOU. EVER.  You Nonstens are not only annoying and delusional but also very much filled with hate and bitterness. Nothing about Robert is attracted to that. He is attracted to happiness, friendship, respect, intelligence, sweetness, and love.  You Nonstens lack those qualities.  

Point Number Two

Rob and Kristen are very much a couple.  At this point I'm so amazed that some people still doubt it. Now Rose is better at listing the proof but I think anyone who doesn't realize it now is blind or delusional (in which case go back and re-read point one).  The people they work with all know it, their families know it, their friends know it and are sometimes a bit nauseated by how much it is true (but that's for another time-ha).  When you have directors and producers and other actors talking about how they are a couple, how can people still wonder or deny it?  When you have them vacationing together and spending holidays with each other's families, how can you deny it?  When you know they live together, how can you deny it?  The truth is that it is truly undeniable. Look at them. Look at how he looks at her. Look at how he adores her. Look at how she looks at him. Look at how she adores him.  While both are talented, neither is capable of faking that type of love. Its rare and treasured by them both.  If you have a heart and eyes, you see it. Appreciate it because it doesn't happen that often in this world.  Normal people would feel happy just to see two people so in love.  Be normal and enjoy it. 

Point Number Three

Twitter is fucked up.  I just read a tweet that Robert was at a wine bar last night, sitting alone in LA and being sad.  Alrighty, let's think about this because these types of tweets happen daily or maybe hourly.  The problem is you in the fandom believe it and get all worked up about it.  Let's put on our thinking caps please.  Rob is in LA-Hollywood to be precise and he is at a bar that is open to the public on a Thursday night during a holiday week. Lots of people out and about I imagine. This was not Soho House so there's no club mentality where people respect his privacy.  He was sitting there for a long time and was noticed by only one person?  And NOBODY else who was there saw him?  And NOBODY else IN LOS FUCKING ANGELES took his picture?  REALLY?

It doesn't cross your mind when you read this tweet that "hmmmm, that's kind of hard to believe isn't it?"  I mean, the guy is on billboards, newspapers, magazines, and everywhere else his mug can be plastered.  Los Angeles is obsessed with celebrity and yet, one of the most famous faces in the world sits in a bar in Hollywood and nobody takes a picture.  Everyone has a camera phone these days so what happened?  I'll tell you what happened...whoever wrote the tweet either was honestly mistaken or lied.  Not getting into why someone would lie but those are the only possibilities because there is NO FUCKING WAY IN LOS FUCKING ANGELES THAT ROBERT FUCKING PATTINSON WOULD GO TO A FUCKING BAR BY HIMSELF AND NOT BE PHOTOGRAPHED.  

 Point Number Four

Apply this same logic to all the other "sightings" of Rob with models or Kristen with random men.  Its not just a matter of "pics or it didn't happen" but use some common sense.

And apply it to all the models/sluts/strippers that Rob has supposedly been fucking for the last 4 years. He's painted by some of the Nonstens or whatever they are as this manwhore but let's think this one over.  The tabloids would pay HUGE money for a story like this. They paid for Tiger Woods and Ashton and all the other celebs who cheat.  Sleep with the celebrity, tell your tale and you make some serious cash.  So, we are to believe that Robert has and continues to run around London, Hollywood, or wherever else he is, sleeping with hundreds or maybe thousands of women and yet, NOT ONE of these morally-lacking bimbos will sell him out.  WOW Robert must have some magical ability to sniff out the very women who will not only immediately sleep with him but will also never mention it to anyone, ever.  Shit he should stop acting and start teaching this to other celebrities because he could make a fucking fortune.  Oh wait, I know, Robert is actually a serial killer and after he sleeps with them he kills them.  Wonder where he hides the bodies.  Again, that is more likely than believing he has whored his way around for the last four years yet NOT ONE OF HIS CONQUESTS has come forward to earn some quick bucks.  

Point Number Five

Robert and Kristen are only together to promote Twilight.  Ah yes, my favourite excuse is the PR lie.  Rose has discussed this at length but if Rob and Kris were together only to promote a movie does it dawn on you who claim this that they would then be more open about their "fake" relationship?  Seriously, wouldn't they be going out of their way to be all Eddy and Bella-ish?  That would be the logical thing.  Instead they keep it private and guard it fiercely.  Sometimes it leaks out a bit around the edges...he gazes at her too lovingly, she spills over unknowingly in front of a then-unknown reporter about her "English boyfriend" but in general they keep what is private, private.  When, in the history of film has a couple that is actually not together, continued a fauxmance for years and years.  Even when the studios "owned" the actors, they might arrange some publicity dates but living together, family holidays, and NO links with anyone else for years? Really? The PR excuse is lame.  Stop using it.  If you are going to lie at least come up with something that makes sense. This one is beneath even you Nonstens.

Point Number Six

This is for those of you that believe Robert is not good enough for Kristen OR Kristen is not good enough for Robert.  Where to start?  The first issue I have with this type of argument is that it assumes the speaker knows something about Rob and Kristen.  Unless you actually do, in fact, know them, realize that the slice you might see during an interview or public appearance is not enough for you to claim to know what is best for them.  Do you know they send actors to classes to learn how to be interviewed?  Tis true.  So while both are honest (sometimes to a fault where Rob is concerned) they are not the same on Jay Leno as they are when they are off duty and just being themselves.  The second issue is that I find it insulting on behalf of Kris and Rob that you who argue this way seem to think they are too thick to know what they want.  These two are quite intelligent and well-read. They are young but they have both led very adult lives for some time now. They know what they want and they want each other.  Neither is a doormat nor so desperate for the other that they would put up with being treated poorly.  You do not know what is best for them so stop assuming that you do.  They love each other. They treat each other well. They are happy.  Be happy for them or ignore them but don't pretend to play God and send messages about how bad one is for the other. If one were bad for the other, they would end. They have a rare mutual respect and both would not take even the smallest chance of hurting the other.  Are they perfect? No-they have fights but the base of their relationship is respect and love. When they want your input they will ask for it but I wouldn't hold your breath on that request coming in this lifetime. 

Point Number Seven

Obsessing over them and their whereabouts.  Now I understand that there are fans who love the idea of them being together and that is great. Who doesn't love to see two people in love and especially when they are attractive, intelligent people. Only here's the thing...they aren't Bella and Edward. You did not buy a movie ticket that entitles you to know every detail of every minute of their lives.  If you are their fans, stop feeding the paparazzi and tabloids who pay photographers to stalk and chase them.  Don't frequent the sites of these sharks.  I realize you want to see them holding hands walking Bear or having dinner out or whatever activity they are doing but, could you possibly deny your desire so that they could have a shot at a more normal life.  It doesn't mean you would NEVER see them but, here's a newsflash, the tabloids and websites know your fandom is a bit wacko.  They KNOW you people will FLOOD their websites or buy their rags if they can snap a picture.  Your fandom is different than others for that fact. The mere hysteria that occurs if one of them is caught buying a guitar is unprecedented.  Please, tone it down.  If you have an inkling of true respect for them, if there is a tiny bit of your soul that actually cares about them and the quality of their lives, back off and stop feeding the very beast that makes them hide.  Does it really matter that much if you get a picture of them eating in a restaurant being videotaped unknowingly by some creature at another table? Was that really necessary or just creepy and sad? What about the pap who took pictures of them inside their flat through a window?  Is that really so important to you that you endorse and support them being stalked?   The constant airport pictures are the same thing.  Do you like the idea of Kristen having to fight through a pack of grown men who shout things at her to get her attention that are lewd and obscene?  Is THAT worth it to YOU?  Last time she went through an airport the photographer was asking "do you like sucking Rob's cock" and "do you swallow?"  Do you think that is something you would enjoy or, if you have children, would you like someone screaming that at your child?  I doubt it and yet, you feed the beast.  You go to the websites and fuel it by looking. They get a million hits and send out 10 more photographers next time who employ even seedier methods.  Stop it, if you care at all about them AT ALL, stop going to the sites and stop feeding the beast.

Point Number Eight

Stop talking about the Golden Child.  Its weird. She's 21 and in the middle of a busy career. Maybe they will have kids someday. Maybe they won't.  For those of you over the age of 14, did you ever date someone and have parents or friends ask when you would marry or whatever. Its awkward.  Cut it out.  

Point Number Nine

The true freaks of this fandom need to stop getting ANY attention.   I understand that at one time there was a little war between those who believed there was a relationship and those who did not. The war is over and the believers won. If you are a believer, congratulations and STOP FIGHTING.  You don't need to go to the tumblers and tweets of those lunatics who carry the Edward dolls and make the horrible manipulations and threaten their lives. Just IGNORE THEM as it will do two good things. First, it will drive the lunatics batshit crazy. Truly they will go mental when they realize how ignored they have become.  Second, your life will be better.  Don't give any of your thoughts, time or energy to anything that depraved and negative.  Ignore them please and be happy in your own lives.  Don't argue and be petty with them. Its over. You won.  Now go live a lovely life.
