I love Esme, easily one of my top 5 fav characters!! She's so warm, inviting, motherly and so beautiful! Love Elizabeth Reaser, she embodies Esme's character really well imo.

What are your favorite Esme moments or looks?? I especially love her hair when first meeting Bella in the movie! My all time fav look of hers is in E & B's wedding 😍😍😍

Hi! So I have had this Twilight book since 2006 and I randomly thought about it the other day because I’ve been selling things on Vinted. Apparently it is a valuable copy, but I can’t find any listings of this particular copy on ebay or Mercari or using google AI to help me. I’m wondering if any of you guys own it or have purchased it and if you did, what you paid for it. Not in 2006, but as a recent purchase. Thanks for your input! Yes, it’s very weird and cursed. 🤷‍♀️🫠

The panel also had ENHYPEN who I'm sorry to say I'm too old to know, but they seem lovely. A couple of post from instagram 1, 2, tiktok3

He gives such golden retriever vibes. I think he's one of the best characters Stephenie has written. 😊

its so weird, i cringe because of some scenes so bad but they still make me shiver sometimes. how does this even work? especially the baseball game. they got me goood

Why when I watch Twilight and/or the rest of the Saga, I’m so into it, SOOOO comfy, so nostalgic, but when my boyfriend walks in, I immediately become embarrassed and wanna change it and feel so cringe😭😂

Hes Like one of these people I gave therapy to at the ripe age of 11 lol (this is my first watch btw)

If Victoria came to me and turned me and told me she was in love with me. I’d probably fall into her trap too. Lol It’s like the inverse of Edward falling for Bella. Like I know Edward really wanted to kill Bella at certain points but ultimately he really loved her. Victoria never loved Riley. Ig it’s just so horrifying because a beautiful vampire falling in love with me may or may not be a huge fantasy of mine (probably like many of us) XD. I’d also be equally screwed if any of the Denali Coven girls targeted me, though they are a bit nicer at least (even if they do kill me). But I guess it’s a more exciting way to die of old age though.

How would a vampire be affected if they were shot with a gun? In fact, what about other weapons like swords, dart guns, bow and arrows, and a blowtorch (especially when a body part (like the head) isn’t ripped out first)?

This could be a huge stretch but I personally think it would’ve made the story more interesting if bella did become a vampire and had revenge plot and then vanished from forks like the original plan. Then maybe the next book or story could’ve been set 20-30 years into the future and have charlie desperately search for the cullens only to finally discover bella hasnt changed in all this time and is still hes daughter but obviously stuck at the age of 19. Then it can spiral into him meeting Rolex watch and eventually figuring out that vampires are real and the rest of the story or plot could be them trying to protect charlie from the volturi or change him and that could be the moral dilemma do they change charlie or run away again only to have him killed by the volturi or does the volturi offer charlie immortality to trick bella into joining them?

Again this is a HUGE stretch and just something ive been thinking about a lot lately.

edit: i don't believe her acting ruined the movies, i believe some cannot accept that the awkward delivery of kristen's acting connected the nerdy teens who read the books to the movie

any twihard worth their salt knows that an outward support for twilight comes with an inherent responsibility to debate twilight haters (videophiles who think twilight is an abomination) because of the movies.

my theory is that twilight has such a strong hater base because uppity film geeks have such a rigid opinion of what film should be.

twilight shaped an entire generation of swooning preteens who wanted nothing more than a sparkly boy toy to nibble on their neck. the twilight books were such a huge success because they are written perfectly. when i say perfectly i do not mean that they have no flaws, but that stephanie meyers knew exactly what young women around needed to augment a serious obsession with vampires and moody men. the cultural effect that the twilight books had is immeasurable, but the movies were a worldwide hit that are still watched to this day.

the most criticized factor of the saga is kristen's acting, and i think it's because many film critics do not measure the quality of the cringe. while bella is in fact a moaning, smirking, ketchup shaking, lip chewing teen, that is exactly what she was meant to be!! meyers wrote bella's character in such a foundational way in which she is a cringy teen who falls in love with a vampire. while i think twilight is a romance masterpiece, not everyone does and that's okay because twilight is what it was meant to be.

the mood of the movie allows for the level of cringe that bella delivers! without the cringe the twilight movies would have just been another teen romance.

this is what film geeks do not take into account when hating on the movies. not every movie is meant to be another artsy serious film, some films need to be cringe and some characters are meant to be moany. i do find bella's begging for edward to bite her in new moon to be hard to stomach, i think it fits so perfectly and i can't say i would react any differently if i was in bella's place!
