The Secret Life of Dolls/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Archive Panic: Just look at the read-through and not get a little overwhelmed. I dare you.
  • Crowning Moment of Funny: frequently, but it's going to be hard to top the picture sequence of Sparklebeard's Wife. Or, "No one not married to an elf was ever so happy..."
    • Rollin,' rollin', rollin', Keep them ponies rollin' Rollin,' rollin', rollin' Vampiiiiiiiiire!

Reader, I confess that I brandished my rake in the darkness, and may have even demanded if they Wanted Some of This. And then I realized I was threatening a squirrel in the middle of the night and began to reevaluate my life choices.

  • Rescued from the Scrappy Heap: Even the most militant anti-Twilight fans can't help loving The Littlest Edward, and even Tonner Edward is likable in his own creepy way. Bella is a bit more work, but she's slowly edging toward this.
    • Tonner Bella seems to have officially made it. Cleolinda stated that The Littlest Bella is a girl on a bad day while Tonner Bella has the exact opposite personality of Bella from the books. She seems to be the character Stephenie Meyer thought she was writing.
  • Straw Man Has a Point: Anna regarding Tonner Edward.
  • Wangst: Tonner Edward, The Littlest Edward, and The Littlest Bella obviously. Mostly it's TLE though, and it's frequently hilarious:

"I told you over and over again, I tried to warn you that I'm dangerous!" he said, his voice quavering. "I'm so weak--I'm such a monster!" And then he began to beat his head against the wall.
"Oh--for God's sake--don't--STOP THAT."
"I'm glad I'm not made of marble." (Thonk, thonk.) "I deserve to feel pain." (Thonk, thonk, thonk.) "I deserve to feel a lot of pain."

    • Surprisingly, this was averted completely with Tonner Bella. She's friendly, cheerful, easy-going - all things that make her the complete opposte of book!Bella.
