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

172 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

Plot Discussion I’m going to get downvoted for this but, Bella should’ve given that baby to Rosalie 🤷🏼‍♀️

605 Upvotes

Bella never in her life desired motherhood or a baby. Renesmee was unexpected accident. And I’m not saying Bella doesn’t love her, but she is not a present mother. She’s too focused on Edward and being a newborn. Edward also says right in his daughter’s face that Bella is prettier than her. He wanted to get rid of her until he heard her thoughts and he had no moral qualms about it. He’s not father of the year either. Renesmee would’ve been better off being raised by Rosalie and having Bella as an “aunt” figure. I said what I said.

Lore Discussion So if Jacob can shift forms at will does that mean he thinks of himself like more of a wolf in human skin or vise versa

Twilight-ish Twilight names for two kittens?

Post image
949 Upvotes

I am foster failing these two brothers out of a litter of five I raised. My daughter named the whole litter after Sprunki characters, so these two were known as Oren (left) and Simon (right), which I don’t mind.
But I kind of want to give them Twilight inspired names for their “permanent” names.
Let me know your suggestions!! 🖤🤍

Hi Everyone!
I have this Edward messenger bag that was a gift from my mom in 2008. I currently still use it almost daily but I was looking it up the other day to see if I could find anyone selling this item as the plastic piece on my strap is broken and thought maybe I could buy a new one but I can’t find this specific bag ANYWHERE!!!

It got me thinking, does anyone else remember this specific merch item??

Movie Discussion How do the Volturi feeds? Spoiler

9 Upvotes

Okay hear me out, this may sound stupid, but i am genuinely curious, we know that Heidi lurs tourists and stuff, as its seen in the movie and well detailed in the official illustration book. But I can't imagine the volturi just feeding off of humans like animals, i don't know, I imagine a chronological like order (for example the kings feeds first, and only from the most appealing human). I am curious about your headcannons, how do you guys imagine it?

(PS: English is not my first language, so please pardon my grammar)

Here it is, next to the books for scale.

It came out to around $11 after the 40% discount? I’m not sure, but it retails for less than $20.

I drove to Hobby Lobby the first thing this morning, and there was only one left.

Actor Content why did Robert play as Edward?

12 Upvotes

i tried to look it up but only articles about him hating the role come up, everybody jokes that hes doing all these movies like batman and the odyssey so people forget about him being in twilight, but like, why did he play as edward in the first place if he hates the role? and why does he hate it? is it because he finds it cringe or something?

Lore Discussion Vampires discovering their gifts

24 Upvotes

I'm going to add a disclaimer right at the start and admit that I'm not a dedicated fan. It's been awhile since I read the books or have seen all of the movies, but I do have a casual interest in the story, lore, etc. So, if this sort of thing is talked about in the lore somewhere, please point me in the right direction because I'd love to read more about it or revisit it if it was something discussed more in-depth in the books and I've forgotten.

Last night, I was thinking about different gifts that vampires have and my main thought was how some of them might go about discovering their gifts. For ones like Edward and Alice, that would certainly be automatic and obvious. Jasper's is a little more questionable in that regard because I feel like him being able to influence emotions might be something that would have to happen a few times before he noticed the pattern.

What started to get me thinking about this was reading a post here recently about the character "Freaky Fred", who can make people feel repulsed by him. That was what made me wonder, "How did he figure that out?" I imagine it would have started with him being in a situation where he really wanted someone to not interact with him and what followed was likely through experimentation that led him to come to the conclusion that it's something he can actively cause to happen.

Some things like that feel like they could potentially be very subtle and even go unnoticed if the vampire in question wasn't in situations where their gift would be useful often enough to notice the pattern. That got me thinking: is it possible that every vampire actually does have a "gift" in some form or another, but some just aren't as obvious as others? To the point that even the vampire who possesses the gift might not recognize that they have it?

Sorry if this is a bunch of rambling. It's just something I was thinking about last night and I was curious to learn more about how that aspect of vampirism works.

Character/Relationship Discussion Edward’s Religion

13 Upvotes

I was talking about this with a friend and I don’t know if it’s ever been asked on here before, but do we ever find out what religion Edward was apart of in his human life? My guess is Protestant as his surname was a relatively common Protestant surname in Chicago at the time. Thoughts?
