i always think i have a very normal level of twilight knowledge until i encounter people who run TWILIGHT FAN ACCOUNTS who don't seem to know what i consider to be very basic twilight lore. i mean i know not everyone has read eclipse more than 15 times, but i mean—

[IMAGE DESCRIPTION]

Twilight version of the Domino Effect meme with 10 black dominoes from 2009's "World record for the largest domino toppled in a chain". On the lower right is a hunched over male about to tip over the smallest domino (1st domino). On the upper left is the largest domino (10th domino), which is 8.8 times taller than the smallest. Starting from the male and ending with the largest domino are individual sentences indicating specific moments in what is essentially Twilight history.

Male: “a group of “friends” get together at a villa (1816)” 1st domino: “Lord Byron proposes the “Ghost Story Challenge” (1816)” 2nd domino: “Polidori steals Byron’s idea (1819)” 3rd domino: “Stephanie Meyer wakes up “from a very vivid dream” (2003)” 4th domino: “Twilight gets published (2005)” 5th domino: “E.L. James writes a dangerously inaccurate BDSM fanfic (2009)” 6th domino: “Master of the Universe is published as Fifty Shades of Grey (2011)” 7th domino: “Dakota Johnson becomes famous (2015)” 8th domino: “Dakota calls Ellen DeGeneres out on her own show (2019)” 9th domino: “Ellen’s treatment of guests and employees finally gets noticed” 10th domino: “Ellen ends The Ellen DeGeneres Show after 19 years (2022)” 10th domino image: On the 10th domino stands an image with 6.9% opacity of Kelly Clarkson from The Kelly Clarkson Show.

"I wish that people who are inclined to crusade against "dangerous books" or "abusive ships" would try to think about fantasy in a way that's less literal and more psychological.

Like do furries and omegaverse fic writers "normalize bestiality"?

No, the fantasy of human animality is not about literal animals, it's about unleashing what is symbolically "animalistic" in us, the drives and urges that human taboos and decency forbid.

Are people who are into "Daddy doms" or diapers or whatever "literally normalizing pediatrics?"

Well no, it's not usually about that at all. Ageplay is usually about fantasy regression to the social position of someone who has no responsibilities and needs to be taken care of.

The fantasy, or the roleplay scenario, gives you permission to be taken care of.

Edward Cullen's notorious "I like to watch you sleep" feels creepy to a lot of people. And fair enough. "Creepy-ness" is subjective.

But I feel like you can find Edward creepy and still understand that for Stephenie Meyer, "Twilight" is not the expression of a literal desire to be stalked by creatures of the night.

The fantasy is of a protector watching over you. A witness. A guardian angel.

Like when you're a kid and you want your mom to stay in your room with you until you fall asleep. (…)

When I watch "Fifty Shades", I don't feel like I'm watching a seasoned predator. I feel like I'm watching a woman's fantasy. Because I am.

And if people like Gail Dines are too obtuse to notice the difference, that's kind of their problem.

I've been holding this in for 10 years, and I'm gonna say it.

I am begging these people to learn to think psychologically instead of literally, so that they're not constantly baffled and traumatized upon encountering literally the most common type of sexual fantasy that people have."

Okay but why don't the Cullens just wear full face makeup to go out in the sun? Eddie boy could just get a Ulta membership and not worry about it ╮⁠(⁠.⁠ ⁠❛⁠ ⁠ᴗ⁠ ⁠❛⁠.⁠)⁠╭

see and that seems so realistic, right?! but I remember that stephenie meyer once said that the cullens can't wear makeup because their skin??? isn't good for makeup to stick to?? or something?? idk man I looked for like an hour on the twilight lexicon site to try and find the receipts for this but unless g can find the source I've got no proof for you 😔—shannon

I can't find a source for smeyer saying this—I suspect it's a widely-adopted @panlight headcanon doing its best to explain stephenie's millionth plothole (or perhaps smeyer was simply too mormon to apply Whore's Paint to her virtuous khaki-wearing characters. never mind that alice apparently has a counter full of products—those are just for Hag Bella, obviously.) it's ok though. edward may not have worn makeup, but they sure caked it onto rpattz from head to abs —G

Fun facts about the art book:

Some of the worksheets and print outs you see in the book are things from Sunday school that my mom saved in her study Bible from her time in the Mormon church in the 1990s, before I was even a thought

The book used was a copy of Divergent by Veronica Roth. I considered using a copy of Twilight (Stephenie Meyer) instead, but couldn’t source a second hand soft-back copy in my area

I made this book while listening to almost exclusively Preacher’s Daughter (Ethel Cain), as well as hymns and Christmas music

The Catholic imagery you see in the book comes from Mormonism’s history of being compared and conflated with Catholicism in history; especially in Victorian era Britain. It also reflects my interest and deep love for both Mormonism and Catholicism.

A lot of the things in here reflect my own personal history, and the poem written by Callum (my partner) is possibly the biggest example of that

My blood being in the book was originally an accident, but I sealed it up with mod podge and called it a day

Also, I made sure every page was in order!

List of Mythic Creatures

Q: WHAT IS THIS??!

A: This is an alphabetically sorted list of all mythic creatures I could find on Wikipedia. The names are (mostly) identical to the name that will bring up the wiki page.*

Q: All mythic creatures on wikipedia???

A: There are a few omissions: I found there were too many lake monsters so those I didn't exhaustively include. Wikipedia has a lot more information about Greek individual figures than individual figures from other cultures (like Achilles or Glauce or Dioxippe or Ajax) and when those figures are members of a mythic group (amazons, nymphs, etc.) I included them in this list, but the list may skew in favour of Greek mythic women with fewer male figures. Also I have included some gods, goddesses and non-binary deities but just like with the lake monsters, did not include most of the Wiki pages on godheads of the world. But the list should be fairly exhaustive when it comes to heavenly beings (elves of alfheim, gandharvas, horae and so on) who serve the gods in their divine abodes.

Q: Why are hobbits on the list? Tolkien made those up, right?

A: Well technically there are lists of creatures from folklore and one of those lists, which Tolkien came across, lists hobbits. It doesn't explain what hobbits are and they aren't documented anywhere else, but that may be the origin of the word hobbit.

Q: Why are some of these not actual creatures?

A: folktales that make mention of unique mythic creatures have been included. For example "The Red Ettin" is a English folktale that features herds of two-headed bulls and cows. In other cases, Wikipedia has pages like "Aboriginal Australian Creatures" or "Abenaki & Mi'kmaq beings" which are worth looking at because they provide more mythic creatures that don't have individual pages.

Q: Why are some entries styled "Savanello - Salvanello" or "Dwarf - Dwarves"

A: one of the terms is the singular and the other the plural. The list is a bit peculiar, sorry.

Q: How would you recommend this list is used?

A: You can use it any way you like, just keep in mind that some beings on this list are sacred and ideally try to be culturally sensitive about that. For example, some Ojibwe people are not exactly happy that one of their unnameable spirits has been publicly named, misspelled, attached to anti-Native stereotypes (see also here) and then completely misrepresented and trivialized as a horror monster in pop culture and so the "wendigo" comes with all that baggage, as do many other creatures on this list.

Usually if a creature is from a Neolithic / Bronze Age / Iron Age culture like Egypt or North & South Mesopotamia (Akkadian, Assyrian & Sumerian, Babylonian) there is no one who is going to raise valid ethical concerns around the use of your creature.

Similarly, if something is a generic fantasyland creature (elf, dwarf, dragon, ghost, giant, mermaid etc.) or from Greek and Roman sources (sirens, minotaurs, catoblepas) or medieval bestiaries (hydrus, iaculus) you can flesh those out with more research, but I don't think you will run into ethical problems.

But with a lot of other creatures, outreach to that community has value, because otherwise its not just a fantasy work being authored, but also some serious inter-cultural tensions. Stephenie Meyer, who decided to add Qileute shapeshifters into Twilight but never consulted Qileute and doesn't support their community in any way, is a example. There is no need to follow it.

Hello, I read your recent post about plagiarism, and it’s sparkled my curiosity about an article I read some time ago discussing Hanihaki Disease, copyright, and plagiarism.

I'm familiar with Hanihaki Disease as a fanfiction trope. I've never read the manga by Hanahaki Otome, The Girl Who Spit Flowers, or the Korean webtoon by Bboong, Spring in the Heart, so I cannot attest for how similar they were and whether there was plagiarism or not. But I did read the fanlore page, which claims that the concept of a disease where the person vomits flowers because of unrequited love predates Hanahaki Otome's work, and its origin is actually unknown.

So, I'd like to hear your take on a concept as Hanihaki Disease being able to be copyrighted or not. And if a person would be able to publish an original work with a similar concept without actually having to acknowledge, ask permission, or pay royalties to Hanihaki Otome.

Thank you for your time, I really appreciate your blog so much.

Cliche That May Be Protected by Trademark

[oximora added: Oops! I mixed the name of the manga author Naoko Matsuda with the original title, Hanahaki Otome.]

I'm not a copyright expert (so my advice has no legal merit), but here's what I can tell you: concepts and names aren't copyrightable. However, when a concept or name is strongly associated with a particular source material, it can fall under copyright protection. And that's where the problem usually comes in. As an example, author Stephenie Meyer created a fictional group of ancient vampires called the Volturi for her Twilight series. She can't copyright an ancient group of vampires called the Volturi, but since she created the Volturi for her story and they are strongly associated with the Twilight series, the Volturi fall under trademark protection. You couldn't write about an ancient group of vampires called the Volturi without running afoul of trademark laws.

But, you could create a similar group of ancient vampires and call them something different. Like, maybe they live in Cortona and they're called Quelli Vecchi (the Old Ones, according to Google.) Or, maybe they're from a different European country all together.

As for the flower barfing thing, if you want to publish an original work, you probably don't want to do something as cliche as someone vomiting flowers due to unrequited love anyway. So this is a good opportunity for you to do some brainstorming and come up with something similar but different... something that's original and your own and doesn't make eyes roll because people have seen it a million times before. :)

Do you recall if we have canon confirmation of Fred's fate? He obviously split off before the newborn battle, good job Fred, to linger in a nearby city in case Bree came to accompany him (which naturally doesn't happen) so wasn't present at the offending battle but since Bree at least was when the Volturi- and Demetri- arrived he's on the index of findable vampires (hey also met Riley and Victoria beforehand too of course). Bree obviously has her pipe dream hopes before her death he'll meet the Cullens, which doesn't happen, but is it known if he was executed for daring to be turned or if Fred yet lives as a wandering nomad?

Stephenie Meyer makes mistakes sometimes, so rumor has it Fred is very much alive and may even appear in future instalments. (By rumor I mean "I recall reading Meyer said this but can't find the source right now".)

What is The Twilight Saga about?

Summary (first movie only): "High-school student Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart), always a bit of a misfit, doesn't expect life to change much when she moves from sunny Arizona to rainy Washington state. Then she meets Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), a handsome but mysterious teen whose eyes seem to peer directly into her soul. Edward is a vampire whose family does not drink blood, and Bella, far from being frightened, enters into a dangerous romance with her immortal soulmate." Source: Rotten Tomatoes

Meyer attributes one of her desires to create her books to 2000s band My Chemical Romance (other bands and media also inspired her, but MCR is much more well-known for being one) and even attempted to get them to make a song for the movies. The band's response was that they wouldn't and would later they would create a song in response/as a reaction to this offer (Vampire Money from Danger Days).

Video description: Videoclip depiciting the game show "Um, Actually" discussing Anne Rice and her works on moody vampires interspersed with clips from the AMC+ TV show "Interview with the Vampire" with the characters (in order of appearance):  Claudia (@Bailey Bass ), Armand (Assad Zaman), Daniel Malloy (Luke Brandon Field and Eric Bogosian), Louis (Jacob Anderson), Lestat (Sam Reid).

@dropoutdottv @umactuallyshow @samreich

Made this while we were still editing our newest episode on a very dysfunctional family (procrastination? Never heard of it 😋) No hate to either show please! We're huge fans of both @Um Actually ☝️ of @Dropout.tv and Interview with the Vampire on @AMC+ But when I saw them mention Anne Rice, I couldn't resist editing this together. They scenes are from both seasons 1 and 2. Hope you like the clip and check out our podcast ❤️ LiliAnna's Preread Mediathek (wherever podcasts are found)

[emojis for Man Vampire: Medium-Dark Skin Tone; Woman Vampire: Medium-Dark Skin Tone; Man Vampire: Light Skin Tone] 

This week we’re sinking our teeth into season 1 of AMC+’s ‘Interview With The Vampire’ 🩸⚰️🐀

[emojis for drop of blood, coffin, rat]

As the nights draw in and Autumn approaches, it’s the perfect time to dissect media’s most romanticised monster. Join us on our monster hunt, as we discuss how the show uses the unreliable narrator as a tool of adaptation, Black vampires and who gets to be ‘monstrous’ but also sympathetic, the power of storytelling from the margins, and of course, arguments for queer vampire divorce.

Come inside, we won’t bite… 🦇

An annoying mistake in Epic Universe

I was watching a Youtube video about Universal's new Epic Universe and there's a shoppe there called "Legends of the Bayou." And there's a thing there about the Rougarou. Much to my annoyance the description said that the Rougarou is not a werewolf "Because the rougarou can change any time he wants instead of just on the full moon." *Sigh.* I hate when misinformation like this is spread. Stephenie Meyer is just as guilty with her "They're not werewolves. They're shapeshifters." And to a lesser extent Underworld with its Lycans are also guilty. First a little history lesson. The oldest known werewolf story is the tale of King Lycaon of Arcadia. According to legend he served human flesh at a feast for Zeus and Zeus was so offended that Zeus turned Lycaon into a wolf. Only his eyes remained human. Over time Lycaon learned how to transform back into a man but when in man-form his eyes were that of a wolf. So he could never be of one world or the other. Over time Lycaon learned how to spread his condition to others so he formed a cult of werewolves. The Underworld word "Lycan" and the older Greek words "Lycanthrope" (meaning werewolf) and "Lycanthropy" (the condition of being or believing one is a werewolf) come from that myth of king Lycaon. These werewolves traditionally were almost entirely immortal where very few things could kill them. And yes, they changed at will. Into the seventeenth century European werewolf lore said that iron could harm them just as it could a faery. But around this time there was a shift in popular culture and in the eighteenth century the first written tales claiming silver is what can harm them. And in eighteenth and nineteenth century Germany the pentacle was believed to ward off evil such as demons. The pentacle (called the Drudenfuss) was hung over doorways to keep out evil entities much the way crosses are used against Dracula in a lot of B movies and in Stoker's novel.

German immigrant, Curt Siodmak, took the vulnerability to silver, the pentacle as a protection ward and warning against evil, and created Universal studio's The Wolf Man.  He popularized the idea that werewolves transform on the full moon. Until The Wolfman, most werewolves were depicted as being able to change whenever they wanted, but were likely to be more animal-like, and losing self-control, during the full moon. Curt Siodmak simplified it. Now fast forward to the American Louisiana Rougarou. The word is an American bastardization of Loup-Garou which is just French for ...werewolf. The irony is the very reason people now claim the Rougarou is "not a werewolf" is because it follows REAL, OLD SCHOOL werewolf folklore! And this is really, really frustrating for me. And Universal studios, the company that MADE The 1941 Wolfman movie written by Curt Siodmak, the man who popularized the idea of werewolves changing on the full moon- they are the ones spreading this misinformation that their werewolf lore is the real "original" werewolf lore and the rougarou... which actually does follow traditional werewolf lore "doesn't count." What the Hell, Universal?!
