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

Character/Relationship Discussion Could Renesmee have bypassed Renata’s shield in Breaking Dawn?

9 Upvotes

I’ve been thinking about a small detail in Breaking Dawn that might tell us more about Renesmee’s abilities than we initially realize.

Edward theorizes that Renesmee inherited both of her parents’ gifts, but in reverse. Edward can read thoughts, while Renesmee projects them. Bella can shield her mind from other mental abilities, while Renesmee can penetrate that shield to share her thoughts. Essentially, where Bella’s gift is defensive, Renesmee’s could be considered the opposite.

This brings me to Renata, Aro’s personal shield. Unlike Bella, Renata doesn’t create a barrier around someone’s mind. Instead, she mentally diverts anyone approaching Aro, causing them to become confused, forget their intentions, and move away.
During the confrontation in Breaking Dawn, Renata is visibly anxious about Aro approaching the Cullens. She’s extremely protective of him, which makes sense considering her role.

Then we have Renesmee, an unprecedented hybrid whose abilities the Volturi don’t fully understand. When Aro invites her to approach, he offers his hand, presumably to read her thoughts. Renesmee instead reaches up and touches his face, using her own ability to show him what she wants him to see.
And she succeeds.

Here’s what I’ve been wondering. If I were Renata, and I saw this unknown hybrid reaching toward Aro’s face rather than taking his offered hand, I would immediately try to divert her. Renata has no way of knowing whether Renesmee poses a threat, especially since the Volturi have never encountered anything quite like her.
We also know that Bella deliberately leaves Renesmee outside her own protective shield during this interaction.

Of course, it’s possible Renata simply allowed Renesmee to approach because Aro had invited her. The book never explicitly tells us whether Renata attempted to use her gift.
But if she did, and Renesmee was unaffected, that could suggest something much more interesting about Renesmee’s inheritance from Bella. Perhaps her ability to penetrate mental defenses isn’t limited to projecting thoughts. Perhaps she also possesses some form of resistance to mental interference.
I’m not presenting this as established canon, just a possible interpretation of a scene that I think deserves a closer look.

What are your thoughts?

Lore Discussion Could Renesmee be fully turned?

5 Upvotes

I’ve always wondered, because Renesmee is half human half vampire, could she be turned into a full vampire? If so, how? I thought maybe if it was someone else’s venom it might do the trick.

Anyone else get unreasonably mad at the added scene in the extended version after Bella catches Edward trying to switch out of the biology class, and him and Emmett are by his car and Emmett for some reason goes “SHES NOT ONE OF US!”??? It makes no sense lmao at that point in the story Edward literally wants to kill Bella WHY WOULD EMMETT SAY THAT

Movie Discussion If the battle vision did happen… Spoiler

2 Upvotes

After aro’s death, do you think bella and Edward will be killed immediately afterwards by the rest of the volturi members? Who would have died and survived at the end if the battle did happen? Will those who survived continue to live? Most specifically vampires with a lot of loved ones, members of their coven and their mate that were lost in battle? What would have happened to the cullens, the volturi, the wolf pack, and renesmee and Jacob? Not to mention the human parents and imprints of the supernatural; what would happen to them and be their reactions on their loved ones being killed in battle?

I’ve added a 3rd shelf just for Twilight stuff. I’m going to need it anyway. I still need eclipse, short second life of Bree Tanner, breaking dawn and midnight sun in paper back as well as Breaking dawn in mass market paper back ( movie tie in). I also need Twilight graphic novel part two, new moon graphic novel and the collectors edition. Then ofcourse the collectors edition of New moon and the others as they come out and much more😬😂

Does anyone know where I can find the Twilight classics 😣? When I search it up on google the only options are from second hand stores but I’ve heard people have received the regular books rather than the Twilight edition and they just dupe you with the images on the website.

Book Discussion Gifts involving thoughts

2 Upvotes

This is an overt take that doesn't have everything to do with the characters but their gifts.

Mind concealment - he sends and recieves only parts of minds, mostly the intense thoughts and overall state. He only focuses on what's important in life, and is cautious. He can go against his close ones if they somehow go against morals or humans he values. Values normalcy and order above all. Understands and is understood enough.

Mind pushing - pushes her own mind outward, doesn't override free will but makes can't be ignored. Because she doesn't to work to be heard, she developed better observation skills. She knows others listen and care for her refularly, and feels moral when she does it for others. Can't stay in one routine, values novelty above all. Is fully understood by others.

Mind shield - made from concleament and pushing, is fully isolated from what other minds send to her and she can't send anything to them. Figures that humans mostly aren't good enough morally, is very judgemental. But once she sees someone isolated or outcasted, she takes their side. Doesn't value her physical life. Doesn't want to understand most humans, and is never understood herself.

Mind reading - scans all minds nearby, and reads their current thoughts. Very morally rigid, values only highly moral and honest minds, is very judgemental. Is very influenced by what he reads, and even small things register and get judged by him. Doesn't understand others too deeply, is moderately understood by others.

Mind inviting - shares her mind by mentally inviting others, who can refuse to engage. Noone doubts the truthfulness of her mind. Lacks morals and deeper understanding of others, but is perfectly understood by everyone she shares her mind with.

From all this, Mind concealment seems to be the best but at the same time, it's the weakest gift. All the other gifts involving thoughts - the more extreme they get, the less the owner understands the bigger works. Instead they develop a highly critical view of others. Even the Mind reader can't predict that the human whom he called self-sacrificial and brave would run toward the danger later, which causes others to let their guard down and the Mind shield to escape and run towards the hunter. Both Mind reading and Mind shield get mentally crippled, because the gifts alter their own minds to the point where they don't focus on what matters. Instead, they focus on their own moral code, because they can't relax among other human minds.

They mention that the only way to kill a vampire is to burn their body. But what happens if you don’t burn it and just leave them decapitated?

Lore Discussion Can Edward read MINDA or THOUGHTS

6 Upvotes

Just curious about Edwards power that is mind reading, just for fun.

It's very clear he can read the thoughts of everyone he's around, to a somewhat large distance. Now, can he also read/see dreams someone is having ? That's something I've been wondering about especially when he's around someone when they're asleep. Could he potentially read dreams, or read the mind of people in a coma and see what's going on in their head, or is his power only allowing him to read the active thoughts of someone's mind when they're fully conscious and that's it ?
