True Twilight fans - Twilighters - Serie Crepúsculo - fanpop

Recently, I read an articulo on here written por a true Twilight fan, where she expressed her anger with the fan-community of this beloved series.
After lectura - a long with lectura some other artículos too - I began to think about what it means to be a true Twilight fan, a Twilighter if tu will.

In my opinion a true fan of anything appreciates every element of whatever that person is a fan of - in this case Twilight.
A true Twilighter looks at this series and doesn't see just a amor story between a vampire and a human, but they see the struggle between good and evil. They see a story with dynamic characters who all have been developed to have depth and personality. They see preguntas of fate and destiny and true love. They find themselves swept away into a world where vampiros can be vegetarian, hombres lobo roam the land, and something evil is always lurking around the corner. They begin to believe that fictional characters are actually real. They amor every character for who they are and amor all of their imperfections - yes, I did say imperfections. : ]

Now another type of fan has emerged in the empire of Twilight. That other type of fan is a Fangirl - o boy if tu like.
What classifies a Fangirl? Well in my opinion, its one of those people who only care about the main characters, which in this case would be Edward and Bella. They only see the amor story side o this epic saga. They overlook the amazing elements brought to the story por people like Jacob Black, because they believe he is just bent on Edward and Bella destruction. They don't see that true amor isn't going to just come with no problems. They only see the perfect side of the characters, and don't believe there could be an imperfection. Then when an imperfection becomes very open, they freak out and begin the horrible thing we know as character bashing.

So when it comes down to it, what kind of fan do tu want to be? Do tu want to be the type of fan that loves the story for everything that it is and loves all the characters for who they are? o do tu want to be the type of fan that only looks at the pretty side of the novel, trying to disregard the actual human elements of the story?
When I think about Stephenie Meyer and how she literally had an amazing dream, wrote it down, and shared it with the world, well she put a lot of work into it. She took time to discover each character, get to know them, and explore every level of their personality. She developed an epic story of love, courage, destiny, fate, fantasy, and the eternal battle between good and evil. When I think about this I can't help but want to be the best fan I can. I want to be a true Twilight fan - a Twilighter.

What about you?

cowgirlfromhell One word - wow! That makes total sense and I'm glad to say that I'm a true fan, a Twilighter =]

kctjohnson I very much agree with everything written here. And really, a TRUE Twilighter - in this case - is a mature reader. We'd like to think that all Twilight readers/fans are mature... sadly, that is not the case as we often see. We see a disturbingly large number of "fangirls" (or fanboys) - those that cannot see past the obvious. Now, that could be attributed to: 1. the age of the fangirl/boy - If the reader is, say, between the ages of 10 and 12 (now do't get me wrong, there are mature 10 year olds too who have deep thoughts), it would be hard to expect them to be mature enough to see the true value of the series. They will likely only see what is written in black & white, i.e. the obvious And god help those who are older than 12 who act like they're tweeners. Kids in this age group "should" know common courtesy, but we all now younger kids can be brutal with their personal opinions. 2. have a disability that hinders their comprehension skills - if a reader has this disability, they can hardly be blamed for not understanding the books completely. Still, a little respect and courtesy should be expected - unless they have Tourette Syndrome, but how can we ever identify which fangirl/boy has such a disability? 3. are just immature and/or challenged in the personality arena (or lack thereof) - these types are simply hopeless. I can't even be bothered to comment much on them. With such a broad age bracket in the Twilight fan population, it might be easy to dismiss the fangirls/boys as being any of the above, but what about the Harry Potter series?? Did we have this many "Haters" there? It didn't seem that way. Maybe the fans of Harry Potter (young or old) are just more mature?? That's the only plausible explanation.

Saul_Mikoliunas This is my new favourite article =D

i_luv_twilight That was awesum and u r TOTALLY rite! i m glad i m not sum crazy fangirl, i m a true twilighter! that is so cool that u were able to clear it up for the girls/boys who r just crazy fans

officefan2010 thank you all for your comments. : ] they are all highly appreciated! cowgirlfromhell - im happy to know you liked it! kctjohnson - i completely agree with everything you said!!! I never read HP, but it would make sense that the readers of that may be a little bit more mature. It seems to me that those books are a harder reading level. Saul_Mikoliunas - That means sooo much to me for someone to say that!! Thanks! i_luv_twilight - thanks! i just really got to thinking about the differences and just decided to write them down. : ]

kitticat2 I agree completely. There are too many fans out there who only see the love story and not all the wonderful elements that make Twilight so interesting. I loved the interaction between Bella and Jacob; they are best friends and he brought a whole new level to the story in New Moon. Alice is that fun-loving sister Bella never had and Jessica is the nosey friend that gossips about everyone. I could go on and on. Every single character had good and bad qualities. You are a true Twilighter if you are able to see this. But like ktcjohnson said, maybe the only true Twilighters are mature readers. Also, unlike Twilight, the focus of Harry Potter was not the love story, but friendship, family and acceptance (not that Twilight isn't about these things). So, there aren't as many crazy fangirls/boys in the HP fandom because those types of people need romantic relationships to obsess over.

pink_martini2 This article makes me believe there is still some hope yet. PEOPLE: do you see how fed up some of us are? Even now there are still hostile fans who post RIDICULOUS things on here. I propose a mass movement. Report the people/posted items that are offensive (anti-anything). Now don't go report-crazy. Talk to the poster first. Try to settle it before reporting.We don't want to turn into the gestapo. This spans passed fanpop too. Speak out against these people on all sites. Let's be heard. We are sick of the hostility. When the movie gets out, this fandom is going to get bigger. Let's show new members we aren't petty people.

kctjohnson Pink_Martini, thank you for bringing that up! And I agree with you!! Really, this Spot almost needs a few "moderators" to remind fans to be true fans, not crazy fangirl/fanboys.

PaoBella I cant disgree with you... and am really glad you wrote this because is really opening the minds of some of the other fans =D and i am a TWIlIGHTER :)

ashleydec19 i admire your enthusiasm and your broad mind... you are an OFFICIAL twilighter, and so am I. ;o)

ParamoreLuvr224 this is so true, its not just a book...n i am a true twilighter

Michellebob I love the whole series! Not leaving anything out. If any part was changed or a character wasnt there it wouldnt be the same. I totally agree with you! There are some bonkers people on this spot and on other forums. They are hostile and aggressive! God help you if you say the wrong thing to them! "irritable grizzlies are nothing compared to ..." But it's quite easy to distinguish between the twilighters and the fangirls/boys! which makes it easy for everyone i suppose! :)

spezlee That's right! I agree with everyone above! There has been enough hate and hostility. It's ridiculous and immature. I think those who are tired of it need to tell these people that enough is enough and that their actions are offensive. Now, not in a rude way just saying that their remarks were offensive and to please stop would be enough for many people if enough other people on this site said that.

kitticat2 Gosh, if only it were that easy. But I agree with you spezlee, pink_martini2, and kctjohnson, maybe if enough of us tell them they're being aggressive it will work over time. It's worth a shot!

purplesparkle i hear what you all are saying, and i agree that fan girls/boys, are anoying, but you cant ask people not to express how they feel about something, just because you feel offended/anoyed with the comments they are putting up, people are allowed to say and feel what they want, and though you may wish to change that, its about excepting people for who they are, be they charactors in twilight, or people in the real world, i'm sorry to say, that you are all bashing people for liking/loving charactors in a book. though it is an amazing book, let me know if any of this makes any kind of since.

spezlee It kind of makes sense in a way. But, saying that they wish Jacob was dead and bashing people who say they like Jacob is not okay. This is the kind of behavior that is inappropriate. I personally think it's fine if someone doesn't necessarily like him, that's their opinion, but being disrespectful to other opinions and downright insulting should be put to a stop. At least in my opinion....hehe.

Bandgeek_XP Well this is an amazing article!!!! Twilight is a huge fandome, and were bound to have "fan girls" especally with this love story. But were there are real fans, ture fans. and then there are fake fan which even when they have a favorite charater they still can't seem to still get the ture internal conflict of or real emotion of the charater.

cheergeek Wow, I completly adore this article. I love the series, and if you love a series, you love ther series and that's just that. You might not agree with some things... but wth are you going to do? Bashing and hostility is not going to help anyone or change what happens. It's also not very nice to the creator of the story to say that they would burn her books if something does or does not happen. How would you feel if you created a character and loved them and then people HATED him/her. That's not cool people. All the characters are equally awesome. ^^ I've also noticed what someone pointed out earlier- the Harry Potter fandom wasn't this abject. Which is weird, because I assumed they were basically the same fans. But also as someone said, it takes romantic realtionships to build people up.. [haha, fighting over ships]

chels05 i LOVE you lol. This was a really amazing article. You are so right about everything you just wrote. I have nothing more to say, because you said it all =)

pink_martini2 purplesparkle, I quote you: "though you may wish to change that, its about excepting people for who they are, be they charactors in twilight" So why don't anti-jacob people just except Jake for what he is as a character? Then they wouldn't have to flame and bash this fictional character. You're right people are entitled to their opinions. They can choose whether to like Jake or not. But as the saying goes, if you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all. There's a difference between "I don't like Jacob, he annoys me." and "DIE Jacob DIE." And it's a misinterpretation of the fandom. Not everyone is as loud and vulgar as those people. And we feel like it's a crime that outside people see us as such. In every interview that mentions us, the media asks the actors/crew about how crazy/obsessed we are. That's sad!

MoonDevious I adore this article. And I am a true TWILIGHTER!

hellgirl223 I SO agree, I decide I will be a Twilighter! This should put some sense in Jacob haters. Hope they realize how hurtful it is to Jacob fans!

fan11993 I so Agree I'm Twilight girl all the way

ritzzie Amazin..............well im a true twilighter......

I continued to besar my imprint after Quil and Paul came in yelling 'Soccer' jerks. Hala my Halo was so soft and smooth. Her long black curly hair along her back and almost to her butt. Her small dark chocolate brown skin. She looked sexy and beautiful with her tight black skinny jeans along the 5 inch golden brown heels with her white button up camisa, camiseta and tight small golden brown vest. I remember earlier that she was so upset about telling me that she has no family noting but bringing her to see my family and the Cullen's I saw her sadness turn into happiness...

Alice’s POV
“Promise me we’ll be together forever.” I asked looking in his bright brown eyes that matched my dark brown. I saw the worry behind his eyes.
“Forever.” He replied besar my forehead. We had been dating for a año and he was a permanent fixture in my life. I had a bad feeling that something was about to sever our ties and I didn’t know what. We finally climbed out of my cama around noon and went out to a nearby park.
“What’s up, babe?” Jasper asked.
“Nothing, just thinking.” I said. I was usually good about getting a feeling about what was going to happen before...

Jasper walks briskly around the trees, with Alice hot at his heels. Alice stops to pick a beautiful red rose, avoiding its sharp spikes, and lovingly places it in Jasper's hands. He looks down at it, and wraps a cold arm around Alice's shoulders. They venture on, talking in hushed tones. A shattering scream pierces the forest air around Alice and Jasper. The begin to run, and after ten minutes, Alice calls Jasper and tells hum she has found something. He rushes over to her, and sees what she sees. A bear, circling a young girl, it's muzzle spattered with blood. The girl twitches and cries out...

"Help me please!!" Bella yelled again, "Its no use" a voice said. "They can't hear you, they can't see you." Bella turned around, "who are you?" "My name is Vladimir." Bella walked towards him. "How'd tu get here? I mean why are tu here?" Bella was so scared she could hardly get all of her words out. "I came here to warn the whole vampire nation."

As the two people hurried towards me I could finally tell there was a woman and a man but other than that nothing, it was nearly pitch black down that alley so I couldn’t see much. The people finally reached me and the woman crouched down, she placed one cold hand on my arm and began to speak.
“Oh Honey tu look frozen, are tu ok?” The woman’s voice was beautiful like música her concern was obvious.
“Em, Give me your coat” The woman said, I’m guessing she dicho it to the tall guy behind her as we were the only three people there.

I got up early the siguiente morning. Well, 8, but it's still early for me. Charlie had left around 4 this morning for fishing so I was cleaning and straightening up around the house. Around 10 I went to the store to pick up some much needed groceries. Charlie was prone to eating out at the Lodge everynight so there was no comida in the house. Except cereal and milk. So I grabbed everything needed for this week and dragged it all back home. I stuffed all the boxes and cans where I could put them, and put all the plastic bags in a cuboard.

Renesmee's Lullaby

posted by EmmettOk

Robert Pattinson’s probably never going to put out an album, considering how busy he is, but fans of his musical side appreciate the news that he’s going to be playing Renesmee’s Lullaby in Breaking Dawn.

Instead of faking it like most actors would, Robert Pattinson learned Carter Burwell’s composed lullabyand will perform it during filming. Swoon! Don’t tu amor a man who can tickle the ivories?

“Just wrote ‘Renesmee’s Lullaby’ for Twilight Breaking Dawn,” Burwell tweeted February 5. “Rob Pattinson will play it on camera this week.”

Yay! Carter respects Robert’s musical...

Chapter 8:

As I woke the siguiente morning I had a throbbing headache, my muscles screaming every time I move, and my lungs struggling to catch up with my heart. I don’t remember much from the night before besides the call from Charlie. The phone call with Charlie turned into an argument. He made a threat towards my friends and I reacted which made him even más mad and he threatened me to watch myself. I don’t remember much from last night but what I do remember is something I shouldn’t ignore.
As I walk downstairs nobody is heard o even scene....

We drove for a few minutos not talking. When we arrived at his house I was shocked that it was so big. It was 3 stories tall and white, but mostly made of reflective glass so tu couldn’t see inside. Off of the house was a 3 door garage. Passed there was a wide river with a bridge going over it. On the other side of the river their was acres of green césped, hierba like a meadow. Just passed the meadow there was a forest that had mountains behind it. I was mesmerized por it. I was also kind of jealous por it. I parked the car and looked at Chris he was smiling.

"Right Honey, have tu got everything?" I asked
"Yes, i think...Yes!" she replied. I wished her off and went home. Jake was sitting on the sofa. I jumped on from the back of the sofa, and scared the life out of Jake.
"Baby!God, do NOT scare me!" He laughed. I stroked his cheek and kissed him.
"So," I dicho while sitting up. "Has Amelia shape shifted yet?" I asked. He shaked his head. I looked at him...

I cried what was left on my heart. It was ripped apart at the moment and nothing would feel the void. It started to get chilly outside; and I was too busy crying, to realise I started shivering. All the moments I spent with Edward was a lie. It got más and más colder; because I was knelt on the ground; but suddenly a capa was put on por a pair of soft hands. "Isabella; please let me explain." It was Edward; no surprise there. I don't care. I would never forgive him, even if he'd beg for mercy.
