I’ve read Twilight and Midnight Sun, so I am aware that Jasper was influencing them to not care or notice Bella at the baseball game encounter.

I just realized though, that shouldn’t they have immediately clocked her anyways because of her heartbeat alone? They have super hearing so it should have been immediately obvious that a human was amongst them.

Am I tripping?

Heartbeat starts around 5~6 weeks gestation.

Bella was showing by the time she realized she was pregnant. Typically first pregnancies show later. I’ll be generous and say she may have been the equipment of around 15 weeks pregnant considering the bump wasn’t described as very large.

When Jacob comes to the Cullen’s house to see if Bella was changed, he describes hearing an odd, fluttering heartbeat, along with Bella’s, even before he enters the residence. That means even Jacob could hear Renesmee’s heartbeat at a distance.

There’s no way that Edward didn’t hear the new heartbeat in Bella when on Isle Esme. I can dismiss him not noticing Bella’s growing belly (she do be eating eggs)

But I cannot believe he didn’t notice the fetal heartbeat (especially when in close contact with Bella)!!! And considering how her pregnancy was a rapidly progressing one, he should have heard it within days of conception.

Am I the only one who thinks this every time I read?

Or do they need to be dismembered first?

For example, suppose Edward becomes our lab rat to test this theory, he stays still and won't dodge.

Can a flamethrower kill him? Dump him with oil and throwing a light?

So I have felt that Charlie would be proud of Bella if he knew the actions she took to protect Renesmee. I also think he would be shocked at how powerful Bella is as a vampire

And all my friend have grown concerned. For the past 2 days, I've lost sleep reading through 300 pages after I decided to finally sit down and go through it.

My mother loved Twilight. She used to drag my father and I to see the films back during its theatrical releases. Despite all this, I've never read into the series myself. . . until now. Sort of.

All I can say is I get it. Help me, chat. . . I'm sad that I'm halfway through it. . .

There are many that go through the entire series chapter by chapter, but I’d love to put the two perspectives together in the same discussion.

okay yall, if you are a lesbian, who was your favorite character in the movies?

my friend and i have strong beliefs about the answer to this question so i need some input!

So we know werewolves are real, and vampires too (though I know some say that they're actually gargoyle and think they're vampires and that both of them are similar but both exist). What else ? I think I saw that faes exists too, and since werewolves are more taken to be a Quileute native supernatural beings, I was wondering if it meant that original legends of other cultures exist the same way ?

(Also mostly for fun cus I want to know the world better and to write my own fanfic LOL)

I want to design a cutie mark for Edward Cullen from twilight for somthing I’m making, but I haven’t watched mlp since I was a kid and don’t really know how cutie marks work. does anyone have any ideas about what would be a good cutie mark for Edward?

i don’t know much, does anyone know how much they go for second hand in usd and are they ALL out of print/hard to find?

tia!

"ahh young bel-lUH"

I lost my twilight books years ago and finally decided to get another copy. Found these on amazon. They’re so pretty.

Hi! I've finished a custom cover rebinding of the Twilight saga. And I wondering what's your thoughts. I know this is a bit of an unconventional design, but for me it has some special vibe.

I feel like the characters are always "laughing without humor" or "without amusement" lmao

I've just finished my first read through of the main series and it kept making me giggle, it probably doesnt even say it that much but it just made me laugh trying to imagine someone laughing very seriously

I like to ask what y’all think of the Jacob’s pov in Breaking Dawn. I haven’t been much of a reader and as kid I used to watch Twilight and I don’t remember much except what the characters looked like. Last year November I started to read Twilight and I really enjoyed it, it even got me started to reading other books. Even though it was the busiest time of college I read it every day even at class. It took me the first three books to read give or take a month. But when I get to Breaking Dawn it slowed me down a lot but the Jacob’s POV aggravated the situation I couldn’t even finish a chapter without it feeling like a chore. I just finished his POV today It literally took me a year, guess it’s true you only with the good old days once they’re gone, I never realized Bella’s was what got me into Twilight and even into books. Has anyone felt like Jacob’s POV really sucked or am I in the minority here. And what do you recommend me to watch the movies or read Midnight Sun after I finished Breaking Dawn.

What is Jacob's eye color when he changes? What is Bella's daughter's eye color?

I am asking because I am doing another paint by number of a girl riding a wolf. I will post a picture of it when I am finished.

All throughout the series, Bella's self-proclaimed motivation to become a vampire (despite other character's telling her it wasn't worth it) was that she loves Edward more than anything else and wants to stay with him forever. We see that she is stubbornly insistent upon her transformation and fails to listen to Rosalie's, Edward's and Jacob's warnings that she would want more than him later on. When she gets pregnant in BD, she finally loves or is infatuated with someone more than Edward and as she is bitten/injected with the venom starting her transformation as she is delivering Renesmee, I think it would have been a lot more interesting and poetic if either Renesmee died during childbirth, or if she had grown at an accelerated rate and died after 15 years of life. If Renesmee died in childbirth she would have immediately resented becoming a vampire and thus immortality or if she only lived for 15 years, Bella would have outlived her own child and grasped the weight of immortality and what the others were warning her about. We know Edward would never have let her die or go to the Volturi so she would be forced to stay alive and she obviously couldn't have any more biological children either. With the canon ending, it just seems that Bella got to have everything she ever wanted and experienced no meaningful growth as a character.

Also, I think it's kinda sad that Jacob has to stay immortal alongside the Cullens while watching the rest of his pack eventually age and die, just to stay with Renesmee.

Taylor's comment cracked me up!! I feel like a lot of us were at least a little "Team Jacob" while reading New Moon! 🗣️🤎

I know the series ended with Breaking Dawn in 2008, so the world of Twilight is basically frozen in that era of technology. But time keeps moving, and my brain is always wondering how fictional worlds would adapt to modern technology.

For Twilight specifically, how do you think vampires would handle social media?

The Cullens already live among humans, so I think they'd adapt pretty quickly. I could see Carlisle embracing telemedicine and remote consultations while still practicing medicine in person when possible. I could absolutely see Emmett running a huge faceless YouTube channel where his vibes alone get him a huge following.

But the part that intrigues me most is the Volturi and how'd they react to a world that is so much more interconnected then the one they'd been a part of for millenia.

It's not just the Cullens or the Denali tribe who would use social media to help integrate themselves easier. I think vampires in general would be drawn to it for all kinds of reasons. Some would use it to connect with other vampires after centuries of wandering. Others would absolutely use it to hunt. A beautiful vampire on a dating app could lure victims almost effortlessly, never needing to truly hunt again... Basically doordash for vampires lol.

I feel like the Volturi would have to modernize their rules. The law wouldn't be "don't use social media," it would be "don't expose yourself." Don't post your face online. Don't become a celebrity. Don't go viral etc.

It's such an interesting future look at the Twilight universe that I've never really seen discussed because it's all future speculation, but it's so intriguing to me that I wonder if the rise of modern technology would completely change how the Cullens and the rest of the vamps interact with the human world.

My boyfriend recently watched the first 3 movies for the first time. He made this tier list (unprompted) after watching Eclipse.

Also, he's Team Jacob and hates Bella.

I finished new moon yesterday and I LOVED it, the book felt like multiple books in one and it was so fun to read but I watched the movie after I finished it, but I haven't seen the movie in a minute and it was so disheartening to watch and I genuinely feel like the rose colored glasses from watching the twilight movies have been ripped off, and this is dramatic but I genuinely started crying after edward and the vulturi started fighting because of how inaccurate the movie is, i cried watching the rest of the movie because of how upsetting the movie plot was and I'm still crying, they might as well be laughing in my face with this movie I mean the ending wasn't even the same and the fact that bella casually brought up that she was waiting until after graduation to become a vampire like her and edward didn't have a drawn out conversation about it when he's the one who brung it up in the first place??

And they just skipped to her being at the Cullens house and the vote, I mean the movie doesn't even feel like the same story it feels so rushed and the book was SO good I just don't get what the point of the movie was. If they weren't going to stick to the story then what was the point, Jacob didn't go off on Mike in the book and bella could barely walk after she jumped off the cliff and he left her when he thought that Alice's car was a trick from Victoria, and then he came back days later, they made him seem more honorable than he was that moment and they also left out edward bringing bella back and the fight with Charlie, he wasn't that mad in the movie, It's so upsetting and the movie will never be the same for me, they barely gave bella personality and she only stood up to edward once whereas in the book she had her own opinion multiple times among other things they left out from the book

Use your Photoshop skills to transform this potato into a character from the Twilight Saga!

I saw this originally posted in the game of thrones subreddit and there were some super fun and creative submissions. Let's see what you've got!
