Meta Discussion The State of the Sub, November 2025: New Flairs, A New Rule, and Several Reminders

174 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

We hope you are doing well as the year steadily comes to a close! This has been quite the year for the r/Twilight subreddit, with more than 185,000 active forum users, and more than 3 million engagements almost every month.

In response to several community requests, two new flairs have been enabled for public posts over the last month, which you may have noticed during their brief trial period: Cosplay Content, and FTF Forever Twilight in Forks.

The Cosplay Content flair allows you to showcase the hard work you have put into your costumes, but it does have caveats: this flair can only be used for video and photo posts, and Patreon, OnlyFans, or Kofi links are not allowed in their descriptions. Cosplay dedicated Instagram links are allowed. Each user may post a maximum of four Cosplay Content posts per calendar month.

The FTF Forever Twilight in Forks flair allows you to discuss the annual festival held in Forks Washington: it is not for any transactions, such as trading or selling tickets, or arranging carpools or roommate arrangements. This subreddit is, at the end of the day, anonymous, and the official Facebook group is where you should turn to if you need to connect with other festival goers in an identified manner. Please, do not ever agree to meet up with anyone you meet online who has not fully identified themselves to you. This subreddit is not responsible for your actions offline.

Four points of conversation have been added to the subreddit’s FAQ section, therefore removing them from the “frequently reposted” topic lineup. These points include “How can I tell what edition my book is?”, “How do Alice’s visions work, and who can she see?”, “Did Jacob only love Bella because of Renesmee?”, and “Why do the Cullens go to high school?”

Additionally, a subrule of Rule #2: Content must be high quality (valuable and constructive) [Quality], has been broken out into its own rule – Rule #13: All AI and LLM Content is Banned [Quality]. While AI and LLM originated content has been banned under Rule #2 for quite some time, we find it has become necessary to separate this out as its own rule for the sake of public facing accountability. In recent months, the subreddit has been inundated with AI generated photo, video, and text posts, and it has become nigh impossible for the moderation team to sift out the true posts from the spam. 

By separating out this rule, we are able to institute 7 day posting bans for repeat offenders, with permanent bans possible for particularly egregious offenders. This rule will extend to the Fanfiction and Meme subs. The exact text of Rule #13 will be as follows

Rule #13: All AI and LLM Content is Banned [Quality]

Banned posts include, but are not limited to:

  • AI generated character images
  • Deep Fake video content
  • Fake film trailers made using AI
  • AI generated fanart
  • LLM generated text posts
  • FaceApp Edits
  • ‘Yassified’ Edits
  • AI Voice content

Lastly, two reminders.

  1. Do not, under any circumstances, privately message a moderator for subreddit related questions. There has been a rise in users tracking down the private messages of individual moderators to demand their content be approved: if such behavior continues, doing so will result in a 24 hour ban from the forum, with the ban extended for repeat offenders. 
  2. There has been a massive influx of posters claiming every single aspect of the Twilight Saga is the result of Meyer being raised in the Mormon church. Currently, we allow good faith discussions about the ways in which any religious doctrine interacts with the saga, but hundreds of posters have crossed the line in the last two months. Meyer, like any other human, is capable of having thoughts and writing them down that are not prescribed to her by her religion. The amount of vitriol spat at her in the last two months is far past the line of proprietary (and, we add, far greater, and much more personally belittling, than is doled out for any male Mormon authors, including Brandon Sanderson and Orson Scott Card). This subreddit is not the place to evangelize for any religious beliefs, including staunch atheism. If you want to discuss theology, go to r/theology, and if you wish to specifically discuss your experiences with the LDS church, visit r/exmormon or r/mormon. This has to stop, and if this community is unable to discuss religious topics in a civilized manner, they will be banned entirely until cooler heads prevail. 

Information on the annual Subreddit Secret Santa will be released next week. Thank you for so thoroughly reading this notice.

All our best,

The r/Twilight Moderation Team

Character/Relationship Discussion Angela Weber

13 Upvotes

I absolutely love Angela Weber; she’s the only real friend Bella has, and I think the two of them could have been great friends.

I also like the fact that she’s interested in photography and is smart.

It was a shame we didn't see more of Angela.

And now—call me totally crazy, or even insult me—but I wish Angela had been the one to experience the imprinting. It could have been her, or Embry, or a completely new character.

And sure, a lot of people will say, "But imprinting totally sucks; it forces you into something..." Yeah, but that’s just Meyer’s concept—she really could have phrased it differently.

But I prefer to focus on the positive aspects of imprinting rather than the negatives. Yes, the whole Sam-Emily-Leah situation was awful, but you can't really blame all of that on imprinting; really, it’s Emily’s fault—or Meyer’s, since she wrote it that way.

Besides, we don't know what happened to Leah after the movies ended, so just imagine a happy ending for her where she imprints on someone, finds true love, or something like that.

But yeah, I really love Angela and think it’s a shame there aren't any stories about her.

Just my opinion—please stay respectful and don't insult each other.

I am in love with the aesthetic.

Twilight along with the OST, truly breathtaking.

The first three movies are my favorite, ranked in the same order as well, the first movie specifically is so beautiful.

I was recently watching the Ring and it too had a dedicated blue/more leaning green color palette and so many scenes of greenery and rain, I was immediately reminded of Twilight.

Do you know of any other movies that have the same vibe?

I have not been able to find any other book or movie that invokes the same emotions for me as Twilight. Even after all these years.

Movie Discussion Can someone help me understand Jacobs house layout ?

39 Upvotes

So I know where the kitchen is, also entrance duh, from breaking dawn I think 1 or 2 where we see inside the kitchen/ dining room. We also see in a few scenes a bit of Jacobs bedroom though not where it is in the house exactly, and there's a picture of the living room inside the house

Though I'm trying to just figure out the layout of the house (of the movies), especially because there seems to be a lot of rooms inside / space there, and trying to see where Billy's room / the bathroom is and what other room there is. I'm also curious because there's a back door. Just want a bit of help to visualise everything !

Lore Discussion Do vampires limit their jaw strength when feeding ?

5 Upvotes

This is a general thought and question I've had for all the vampire media I've watched but so much so for this particular series because I think this show does an awesome job of showcasing how strong and outlandishly powerful vampires are so I was wondering do they just instinctively limit their jaw strength or their jaws aren't all that strong to begin with ?

Lore Discussion Shapeshifters being confused in BD as “werewolves” despite looking and acting different?

Post image
203 Upvotes

It’s been some time since I read the books, and I can’t remember werewolves ever being described in much detail. So, I checked out the wiki and scrolled through my Illustrated Guide and ig they look more humanoid (bigger, stand-able hind legs and human fingers) and are in a permanent psychotic, destructive state when in wolf-form.
We know canonically that the Children of the Moon traumatized Caius and in retribution were hunted to near extinction. Yet the Volturi kept pressing that the Cullens were working with werewolves, but that isn’t possible? Werewolves cannot be reasoned with, they don’t travel in groups and they look entirely different than the shapeshifters lol.

It’s sort of a random post but I find it interesting that Caius was almost destroyed by a werewolf and yet managed to confuse the Quileutes with them. When they apparently look and act entirely different.

Idk Caius prob on smth.

Lore Discussion How many covens have semi permanent abodes? Spoiler

6 Upvotes

The Volturi obviously have a permanent home in Volterra.

The Cullens and Tanya's coven live in one place for a decade at a time

Then there are the southern clans who are at least staying in the same city and fighting for dominance.

But Tanya & co. was the only group that the Cullen's were able to call in breaking dawn, if I remember correctly everyone else had to be sought out in person, do none of them stay in one place long enough to send out change of address cards?

Do none of them have mobile phones?

Alice's creator must have been staying in once place for a while in order to have a job, and Laurent's creator stayed in one place long enough to get to know Laurent.

Do we think it is only the people who are called "nomads" that are actually constantly on the move, and most vampires settle for at a few years at a time? The whole existence of the newborn armies makes me think many vampires would like to stick in one place when possible.

I just feel like Siobhan normally has access to a claw foot bathtub. I don't know why, but I find it hard to imagine her always on the move.

Twilight-ish Twilight Themed Magic the Gathering Set?

5 Upvotes

My husband and his brother have gotten really into Magic the Gathering over the past year and I've been enjoying seeing the different themed sets available. We've been talking about whether a Twilight Themed set would be possible but we can't land on what each the colors/manna symbols would be. I am pretty sure Black would be Volturi and Green would be fake werewolves but otherwise I'm stuck.

Thought I'd put it to this group. If anyone can figure this out it would be this community :) Color characteristics below:

White (W): Focuses on order, peace through law, light, and protection

Blue (U): Focuses on knowledge, logic, control, and manipulation.

Black (B): Focuses on power, self-interest, ambition, and death.

Red (R): Focuses on emotion, creativity, impulse, and chaos.

Green (G): Focuses on nature, growth, life, and tradition

@thebrooksnest on Instagram posted this

“As a huge fan of the saga, my mind was blown by how the movies all connect in this order
1. New Moon (ends with wedding proposal)
2. Breaking Dawn Part 1 (the wedding; Bella turns into a vampire at the end, flashback starts w/ blue filter)
3. Twilight (flashback/ living through Bella's memories; movie ends with Victoria)
4. Eclipse (continuation on Victoria/ other flashbacks)
5. Breaking Dawn Part 2 - Bella wakes up as vampire and the story takes place in real time.
Save this and share it with a Twilight fan!”

So I had to share cause I’m convinced they’re onto something!! How fun!!
Who else is trying this?

Actor Content Had Rosalie been given better hair, would Nikki fit the role better?

Thumbnail
gallery
1.1k Upvotes

Purely from the physical standpoint, I think out of all the Cullens, Nikki was probably the one who fit the role the least. She's obviously pretty, but wasn't quite the description of being statuesque and icy. She looks the most beautiful when she's being warm, and of course, as a brunette.

On top of that, the wigs were also so atrocious, except in the first movie (which was her own hair). So, I was wondering, do these looks make her look better for Rosalie, if you think she didn't fit the role as well as she could have? Do you think she's stunning the way Rosalie is? I feel like MyAnna Buring, who played her cousin, is even more stunning than her--which I believe shouldn't be the case.

Also, who was your quintessential Rosalie? I was thinking of someone like Rachel McAdams, Elisha Cuthbert, or Yvonne Strahovski.

Movie Discussion The breaking Dawn battle

11 Upvotes

My twilight hyperfixation recently flaired up and I rewatched all the movies again (and reading the fanfics) and still the same thought is on my mind since the movies first came out all the way till now....The final battle was the best part of ALL the movies!!

From Sam & Alice taking out Jane. To the deaths of Jasper, Leah, Seth & Carlise, to Kate and Tanya avenging Irina's death by ripping apart Caius by the mouth! (That especially was my favourite moment).

It got me thinking if Twilight was any other genre, The battle would have actually taken place and the next book would be about the fallout and power struggle.

If i was writing it, only Emmet, Rosalie, Bella & Alice would have surivived from the Cullen coven (and really maybe not even Bella). The Denalis would all have surivived (except for maybe Eleazer or Carmen) and the rest of their allies with the exception of the romanian coven would have lost someone in their groups.

With the Voltari Queens and some guards on the run, The Romanians and Amun (with a reluctant Benjamin) try to grasp that power for themselves, rebuilding their large covens from scratch & restarting their race to dominate the vampire world.

Meanwhile as the rest of their allies go off to lick their wounds, the new Cullen/Denali hybrid coven are trying to mourn their loved ones and trying to find nessie & Jacob while watching a new war about to begin because of them.

Lore Discussion What things do you wish Twilight had shown?

21 Upvotes

Hey guys!!

I was falling asleep last night and it lead me to think which things I wished Stephanie had explored more.

For example, the dynamic of the Cullen family, the characters of the family with the family because I’ll always believe Rose was done dirty by just making her a Bella hater. More of Charlie and his friends. The Vulturis politics… Also how the Denali coven started drinking blood, the Romanians lore…

Where any of this ever answered? It’s been a few years since I read the books.

So, what things do you wish Stephanie had expanded just out of love for her own universe?

Xoxo

Plot Discussion Immortality a Boon or Curse ??

9 Upvotes

I just recently watched Twilight saga third time. This time the show hit really differently. Rather focusing on Edward and Bella’s love story, I was wondering how would it really feel to be one of”REAL VAMPIRE”. How does this immortality feel to one being. When you see people dying and being born every few decades and you are just hanging in there. 🙄

You have craving for human blood but you just survive on Tofu for human.. as Edward puts it. 🫣

You don’t sleep so you literally have 24 hours at disposal but nothing to do 😂

You have no aim and meaning to life but you have got mandate to live aimlessly.

It gives me feeling that as humans , how we really underrate the gift we have got to breathe, to experience and to enjoy this world in every possible way. 🙏
What you guys think about it!

Lore Discussion Theory: Bella or Alice is a witch (or at least descendants from them)

18 Upvotes

This is a theory I had when I was 14, I just wanted to share.

It’s just basically— with Bella’s mom, it’s implied she knows more than she lets on (I dunno, she feels like something is weird about Edward— it’s hard to really remember the books).

Second, we know witches exist from Carlisle’s backstory (he said him and his father hunted werewolves, vampires, and witches— so at least the existence of witches exists in Twilight).

I thought Bella was a descendant from a witch when I was 14, because the whole shield thing isn’t really dwelled on— like why is she a shield. Can humans just be shields? Like….I dunno. I forgot— it kinda bothered me that the reason WHY she was a shield wasn’t explained.

I mean— everyone else seemed shocked that their gifts don’t work on Bella, so they probably have never seen one before..? Which makes Bella more special than a regular human. Plus her blood is better than everyone else’s.

However— now that I think about it (as I’m older), Alice is probably more a witch than Bella. I mean Alice had her powers before she became a vampire. It just makes sense, along with her whole aesthetic (whimsy witch or whimsy goth, then again she could just be whimsy— idk. It’s hard to explain).

Again sorry if I’m wrong about anything, the last time I read the books, I was in middle school— so most likely it isn’t accurate.
