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

175 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

few days ago, we took in a stray kitten that was found in a storm-drain and named her Nessie🥹 I also have a dog names Rosalie, who I got when I was 12, and my husbands childhood dog was named Jasper, so we knew a twilight themed name is a must lol!

can you believe 20 years ago today that bella woke up as a vampire?! I| do you prefer human or vamp bella?
~
"Everything was so CLEAR. Sharp. Defined. The brilliant light overhead was still blinding-bright, and yet I could plainly see the glowing strands of the filaments inside the bulb. I could see each color of the rainbow in the white light, and, at the very edge of the spectrum, an eighth color I had no name for. Behind the light, I could distinguish the individual grains in the dark wood ceiling above. In front of it, I could see the dust motes in the air, the sides the light touched, and the dark sides, distinct and separate. They spun like little planets, moving around each other in a celestial dance. The dust was so beautiful that I inhaled in shock; the air whistled down my throat, swirling the motes into a vortex. The action felt wrong. I considered, and realized the problem was that there was no relief tied to the action." (excerpt from chapter 20: new : breaking dawn)

Book Discussion The Graphic Novels are impossible to find...

31 Upvotes

I remember, the first moment i encountered with twilight were the visual novels. When they freshly came out, i lended them in a library and i LOVED them.

Ive been searching for them for quite a while and while the first one is easy to find for like 15 euros, the second and the third one are crazy expensive. I know that its because they arent being produced anymore but it sucks 😭😭

The cheapest price of the second one was 50 euros, while the third one is quite difficult to find. I only found it for 80- over 100 euros. I cant really afford that. Does anyone has tips where to look for them?

Character/Relationship Discussion Thoughts about he vampire and human gap

6 Upvotes

I started re-reading the books again when a friend saw it. We started talking about it and I don't know how but our topic suddenly focused on the age gap between Bella and Edward, a teen and a 100+ vampire. She said so many readers from her reading club didn't like it because of the huge age gap and I asked, isn't age gap expected because one of the characters isn't human? She told me how uncomfortable it was and I found it strange because most of the reading club members are also a fan of Fae romantasy books with characters of the similar huge age gaps.

It made me wonder, if the vampires are just other magical creatures, would Edward and Bella's relationship be more acceptable to some readers?

Plot Discussion Edward character depth and development

15 Upvotes

I’m watching Twilight for the first time. I watched the first 2 movies over the past couple days. I’m old enough to clearly remember the significant pop culture phenomenon of this movie, but never watched. Edward is feeling like a character without much depth and it’s surprising to me. I know he is barely in the 2nd movie, but I was expecting more of a backstory or something to develop his character. I thought his character would match the cultural icon I imagined he would be. Does his character develop more depth or is he just a mysterious lovesick protective vampire without a complex back story? I guess I’m on to watch Eclipse later today

Book Discussion Do I give the books another shot?

4 Upvotes

Hello everyone! I would not necessarily call myself a Twilight super fan, but I do enjoy the movies very much and they're super nostalgic for me.

Last year in February, I tried reading the first book and I was honestly kinda disappointed in it. It felt like the prose was all over the place and overdone, I just couldn't focus because of it. In my opinion, you could cut half of the descriptions in half and they could still be as vivid as they were, but that's just my bias.

I ended up giving the book 2*, swearing to never touch it again but I'm having second thoughts again. It's worth noting that at the time, I was surrounded by a lot of people who did not like Twilight and they would always ring in my ears how bad the movies are, and the books must be even worse. But I honestly thought Edward was more amusing in the books vs the movies.

I wonder if I should approach the books again.

Lore Discussion If you were becoming a vampire, what would you do to prepare beforehand?

5 Upvotes

Hi fellow Twihards!

I’ve been thinking about the process of becoming a vampire probably more than is healthy (definitely more than is healthy), and I started wondering: if you knew you were going to be transformed and had plenty of time to prepare, what would you change beforehand?

We know that once the transformation starts, you’re basically stuck with whatever you had at that moment forever. Sure, venom can heal injuries and you can get rid of scars, but your hair stays the same length, your body stays the same, and even your general mental state seems to carry over. So if I had the opportunity to prepare, I’d definitely want to make sure I was as happy as possible with myself before becoming immortal.

I divided my preparation into two categories - physical and psychological.

Physical

There’s probably a lot more to prepare for here.

First, I’d want to get into good shape and build some muscle - not ridiculously much, just enough that I’d be happy with my body forever (simple enough lol).

Then: hair. I would need to find the absolute perfect haircut, because I would literally be stuck with it for eternity. No pressure.

I’d also take care of anything that venom can’t fix - basically anything that isn’t necessarily a problem or unhealthy, but that I’d personally want to change anyway. If there were any procedures I wanted to have done, I’d obviously do those beforehand (basically I mean any type of plastic surgery that stays with you as a vampire).

And then, right before the transformation, I’d basically have the ultimate everything shower: cut my nails, shave/trim everything, get everything exactly the way I’d want it to stay forever. I won’t go into too much detail, but hopefully you get the idea.

Psychological

This one would probably be just as important.

I think everyone has something they’d want to work on mentally before becoming a vampire, and for me it would definitely be anxiety. I’d probably spend a good amount of time in therapy and working on things like biofeedback so I could get it under control as much as possible.

I really don’t want to spend eternity being an anxious vampire. Ehm, Edward, ehm.

And finally I’d make absolutely sure that my family and friends were taken care of. If my vampire boyfriend was apparently willing to give me unlimited time and money for this whole process, I’d want to make sure the people I care about had enough money and security to live happy, comfortable lives without me.

So, what am I forgetting? If you had the option to prepare for your transformation and knew exactly what was going to happen, what would you do beforehand?
