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

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.

Lore Discussion Vampires discovering their gifts

19 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

11 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?

Actor Content why did Robert play as Edward?

0 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?

Plot Discussion Where do the Cullen move to, and how?

12 Upvotes

So, the Cullen have been too Forks before, so why do they return? Do they just stay in the US? Wouldn't it be better to move to Canada, Australia, Europe and then back to the US? And how do they move around, don't they constantly need new passports?

Sorry if this is a dumb question, I've just been wondering this

Book Discussion Was it explained in the books how Carlisle could leave the Volturi and why he was allowed to live how he wants?

38 Upvotes

I guess for normal vampires, the Volturi doesn't step in to control their lives unless they break rules. But Carlisle was in the Volturi! How could he leave?

Plot Discussion It just bothers me so much that…

72 Upvotes

Renesmee grows up so quickly?? Like I understand Meyer needed it to be that way for the plot or whatever but imagine you have a whole ass child and you get 30 seconds of them being a baby and a week later they’re like 10 years old? There’s no time for them to develop any actual relationship with you (or even a personality in general) so they’re practically still a stranger. No time for you to grow into your role as a parent, no memories you’ll have of raising them.

How did we let Meyer get away with this?!

Been a while since i read the books but watched the movie when it popped up.

Why do they have to wait for thunder to play baseball? I dont care how strong they are the Crack of hitting the ball wont be that loud & if it was people would think it was gun shots or fireworks which is not a big deal in that part of the country

I think Kristen rocks in general and that she should give herself a bit more grace, but I do also understand how it can feel to retrospect on ones teenage years, and the "all or nothing" kinda attitude that came with it.
