the fact that kristen stewart and robert pattinson both started in twilight and have had similar film trajectories – gotten into small, critically acclaimed indies and received almost identical levels of critical success in that area, before moving back to more mainstream things and having very comparable levels of talent – and yet kristen is still deemed a shitty actress bc of twilight and robert is now held up by film bros who think he’s the second coming…..
“into that world inverted
where left is always right,
where the shadows are really the body,
where we stay awake all night,
where the heavens are shallow as the sea
is now deep, and you love me.”
— Elizabeth Bishop, excerpt of “Insomnia”, in Poems, North and South: A Cold Spring
