The real AU we deserve is "Charlie Swan: Vampire Hunter"
YES PLS
Ok is this a fanfic because if not I need to write it
YES
Twilight meets Supernatural
@KingWanhua "Wait, you... you SPARKLE? Wtf?"
God, I mean, this is a fanfic trope... so I guess it's an author written fanfic
I'd hate to mention this,but I heard somewhere that (I think) Neil gaiman sometimes does that,though..
Spottedleaf's Heart (yuck) honestly proves that such things exist.
@@Keznen
Yep. They should have left that story in the drafts.
Jk Rowling writes her own fanfiction all the time guys lol
Wattpad fanfic
You can't expect the person who came up with Renesmee to leave the spelling of Edith alone.
Renes what? 👁️👄👁️
@@extratao50 She spells the name Edith like Edythe in the book.
@@Xehanort10 I don't think that was the question. That was literally stated in the beginning of the video you're commenting on.
Mormons are known for making up weird names
@@Ollie7707 that is very true!
I really like that she was like "Bella isn't just a flawed girl, she's a flawed person and I'm gonna prove that by making her a dude"
yeah
You can't be flawed if you just don',t have a personality, she is like the playable character in pokemon games, you can even choose the gender.
@@nessyness5447 Stating in Crystal, not before.
Lol. I think it’s a valid idea
I would like it if she had flaws! Literally anything. But she doesn’t even have that. She’s just not even a person.
"Is there gender-switched Edward but not Bella fanfiction?"
Dude, it's the internet. Always assume there's gay fanfiction.
Rule 34: Fanfiction Addition
"That's way better." - same, half the time
Archive of our own....i have read some great harry and malfoy fanfiction omg
There is actually a lot of good Beau x Edward and even some where Jacob totally replaces Bella's role in Jacob x Edward.
Keznen That rule has destroyed transformers😳
Twilight: Boring teenage girl in a “tag a war” with stalking Vampires and Werewolves.
Twilight Gender Bent: Shy anime like boy feeling uncomfortable with tsundere/Yandere bad boy women wanting him.
Like Reggie (in the video) said: Objectively Better
@Rpatz Fan She's comparing them because 50 Shades was originally a Twilight fanfiction. So EL James published Grey (50 Shades of Grey from the male character's perspective) when Stephenie Meyer was planning to publish Midnight Sun (the equivalent for Twilight).
I'M WHEEZING. I also thought Edythe was a yandere :'D
@Rpatz Fan I actually thought the books were decent but Kristen Stewart is a very bad actress.
Accurate lol
"Isabella becomes Beaufort"
Okay, look me _dead in the eyes_ and tell me Stephanie Meyers wasn't thinking about Phineas and Ferb when she pulled that move. You can't.
This is genius. Why didn't I think of that?
Yes.
Well that was Buford so different dudw
I thought his name would be Ben
I spit my grape at Beaufort
i’m still waiting for the cat version.
‘New Meow’
‘Breaking Claw’
I would actually read that
Twilight: Warrior Cats AU
Genius!
Y e s. Blood-sucking cats with shape-shifting dogs.
Heck yeah I would read that.
I dunno why she’d do a genderbent version for the 10th anniversary when she could’ve done a “where are they now” kinda thing, just a short story exploring the mundanely sweet aspects of married life for Bella and Edward, and maybe following up on Jacob’s baby obsession and seeing what the hell happens with that.
For the 20th anniversary maybe?
@@ChloeMercadal Yeah, when the baby can legally sue Jacob for child grooming her since THE DAY SHE WAS BORN
Nati Whatever
Even before.
@@JustNatax3 even better if renesme (yes I forgot how to spell it) just decided to say f*** the stupid imprint and go date whoever she wants
Yep. After hearing this, I'm *pretty sure* your idea would've hurt her reputation as an author wayy less. This sounds pretty bad.
So we have:
The original book
The graphic novel
The gender swap book
Now the switched perspective
How many times can you tell the same story?!
Well, Rocky was also basically the same story every time.
Have you heard of the Undertale fanfics? The main ones are various combinations of: Under, Fell, Swap and Tale, just assemble those by pairs in any order and you get a different perspective! (Oh and there's more from where those came from)
Two topics:
Archetypes and the hero’s journey
Dhorannis stephanie has gotta milk that cow dry, apparently!
Next is from Taylor's lautners view
I personally think that it's hysterical that Beau turning into a vampire at the end of the first book implies that the only reason all the books after the original Twilight even exist is because Stephanie just really, really wanted Bella to get pregnant lol
I've got the feeling that Kristin Stewart would have preferred Edyth over Edward...especially if she was played by Kiera Knightly, who would have been perfect for the part.
yes lesbian twilight
Nah Keira Knightley is too classy for Twilight
Of course Edward's pov is better than Bella's. Somehow the vampire is the one with a pulse.
ooohhh daammnnnn
oh shit, tru that
We're all waiting for twilight from Charlie's pov
Well shit 😂
HonestlyTho1503
That actually make sense ...
I would respect this, if Bella and Edward were the only gender bent characters giving us the bisexual love triangle that we deserved.
I need to read this right now
same
I have a subtle bisexual love triangle in my book tbh, the main character does not end up with any of her possible partners and travels the world with all her friends (alongside the two she was in a triangle with) in the epilogue.
I think that Julie Black is not even a candidate for Beaufort's affection in this one.
You know, given how Bella knew from the beggining that Edward has Vampire Bae and that Jacob only developed feelings for her in New Moon, the story would have been wildly different if we were to include the love triangle in this one.
Yas
7:55 I literally said out loud "Why not have him smell like Axe? Every dude smelled like Axe in high school."
Seriously, adults writing kids is *so bad*
If he did smell like Axe the stank face would be totally justified
Me still waiting for Rosalie's story...I want the story of her going on her absolute murderous rampage
YES, I REQUIRE
Isn’t her backstory explained in the illustrated guide of twilight?
@@simpforladydimitrescu8318 it's explained, but like I want the details since it sounds more interesting than what they ended up putting out
yess also i want alice's backstory
I’m sorry but Beaufort made me laugh so hard. That’s is the least attractive name I have ever heard.
She really should have gone with Beauregard.
Fun fact: my grandparents are from the french Alps, and beaufort is the name of a local cheese.
@@wildoneizzy LMAOOOO
Well beau means beautiful as the same as Bella meaning beautiful.
Danielle Martinez should’ve just used Beau then.
This woman took a saga and made even more money off of it without creating anything new. Smart woman.
She wrote her own fanfiction and monetized it
@@Sputterbugz This comment is even more funny when you remember E.L. James _literally did_ monetize Twilight fanfic with 50 Shades. I flippin love the internet.
@@olivebranch7769 and then also made a 50 shades from Christians perspective after Stephanie announced doing the same thing for twlilight
@@roelin360
Sounds like James loves to copy off Stephanie.
@@roelin360 omg I love your book! I hope Draco Malfoy came around and took you back
I honestly respect her just a bit for managing to literally get her fanbase to buy the exact same book with minor changes. We support a money making queen.
Twice.
"Isabella Swan's name is now Beaufort."
*pauses video to go and vomit*
Sounds like a rich kid name.
The name is fine. The only problem is that it doesn’t fit Bella’s character at ALL
In french it's litteraly... beautiful strong. His name is beautiful strong. And it's the name of a cheese :')
@@hervaina966 Yep I couldn't stop thinking about it. It's a really good cheese but it's really strange to have someone named after it ^^
It makes sense to me because he hates his full name “Beaufort” and even comments how old and outdated it is bc it was his grandfather’s name or smth like that.
Honestly prefer the concept of Life and Death over the concept of Twilight. Give me a petite goth vampire gal who dates a self-conscious nerdy awkward boy. Yes.
It helps that the vampire girl is not as...insane as Edward.
Basically the plot of what happens in many harem anime. Cute nerdy guy. Every monster girl wants him, he what's the most normal looking one who is in fact a vampire.
@Stacy Verre Agreed. The manga was actually pretty decent, but the anime butchered the source material. I still don't know why, too
Give me a year, I’m already writing a book
@@velvetsparrow owo
Hear me out! In this gender bended version there is:
- No stupid love triangle
- No teenage pregnancy
- No marriage at 18
- No strange magical baby
- No Bella whining for 3 books to make her a vampire
- No ideal ending without consequences for main character
So yeah, it's not great, but Life and Death is hundred times better than the whole Twilight series in my opinion.
So, no Julie falling in love with a fucking newborn? Sold!
@@randomcomment1286 I don't think anything could out jump that shark 🤣
Well since Beau is male there couldn't be any half vampire babies in a Breaking Dawn Reimagined unless as a vampire he found some human girl he liked (unlikely) or she raped him (also unlikely) so ending Life and Death with Beau being a vampire is actually the best decision and way to say, "No more books in this series".
This last half of the story could have been a second book like Amanda said. It would deal with the fallout of being a vampire and how Beau had to manage his human relations--things that Breaking Dawn had to cover. And more wolves! Do we see the tribes and the wolf pack in this story? (I haven't read it so I have no idea.)
- Funny names
- Rushed ending
- No wolve-vampire-alliance
- No revelation why Edythe can't read Beau's mind
- Not a book about Alice, Jasper, Rosalie, Emmett, Carlisle or Esme
That'll make it even.
the same would be true if she had stopped after the first book
Twilight: “who are you?”
Fifty Shades of Grey: “I’m you, but kinkier”
Considering the sterotypical child of Karen names like "Mckayliegh" started with Mormons, I'm not suprised Meyer is bad with naming.
Oh boy... i hate that you are right
You forgot the capital K
oh no as a Mormon I'm just realizing that you're not wrong even though none of my siblings or I have obnoxious name spellings. Although my older sister has a slightly unusual name.
The irony that Mike's mom is named Karen adds a whole new ring to this kfldjsalkf
MecKell!
As a french fella I must add that " Beaufort " is the name of a cheese. That's all I have to say
'What's your name?'
'Cheese.'
'Kay have a nice day.'
Lucie Le Fur
“Beaufort Swan, this is Camembert Cullen.”
“Nice to meet you...Camembert.”
“Oh, please, call me Bert.”
“...K.”
Maybe that's why it's so cheesy
I love cheese...... That is not good
As another french folk, I did think the name reminded me of something....
Who else is waiting for the black version of Twilight?!?! And the gay version, the ancient egyptian version, the caveman version, the alien version and the cosmic horror version?
Edit: this comment got more attention than I did for most of my life lol
Project Naiad I wouldn’t complain about a gay version tbh
I mean there probably has a fanfiction like that somewhere
I'm going to write the cosmic horror.
The furry version! Oh wait...
@@mq1538 PLEASE do
I had a thought: what if she does life and death from Edythes perspective lmaoooooo
I wish Meyer did. a whole series on life and death
It starts getting complicated 😂
@@LeoTheDarkAngel 😂😂
Wow so she'd dedicate her entire life making fanfics of her own original saga
“Midday Moon”
Up until 10:30 I imagined Edythe as this tall, muscular just absolutely yolked gal and Beau as like lanky and awkward and ...I think I like my version better
Yeah
Like give us shy anime looking boy and tall and super cool vampire gal
reality is often disappointing
@@sm91411 everu anime harem be like:
Just admit what you really want is vampire snu snu
I grew up in the Mormon Belt of Southern Idaho. Names like “Jessamine” , “Beaufort” and “Edyth” would have barely raised an eyebrow.
Edyth isn’t even that weird of a name. I know an Edith.
"Jessamine" is a terrible name for a Civil War era Texan - it's a mainly English variation of the name "Jasmine".
I'm pretty sure Meyer only picked the name because she read Cassandra Clare's Infernal Devices trilogy and lifted the name of one of the supporting characters because she thought it was pretty. Infernal Devices is set in Victorian London btw.
@@lasttoparty7570 It sounds like trying to say Jasmine in a bad Japanese accent
I think Edith is a beautiful name
a rusty dildo ikr
Harry Potter fans: We want a book on Marauders! Dumbledore! The Hogwarts Founding members!
JKR: Here's a movie about Newt Scamander
Hunger Games fans: We want a book about other HG victors! Haymitch! Finnick! Mags! Annie!
SC: Here's a book on President Snow origin story.

Twilight fans:
SM: Here's another Twilight. But Edward's POV.
U need more likes
Honestly we want Jake and Ness story
Though the marauders one is highly wanted too
@z.o.o yes Jake X Nessie
I want a Clearwater or Rosalie story...
But... Newt Scamander is the perfect man out there 🥺 fantastic beasts is my life
Okay so fun fact about the Twilight title because you mentioned the French title. In German, it's Twilight - Bis(s) zum Morgengrauen. So it theoretically translates to "Twilight - Until Dawn" (confusing, I know) because "bis (zum)" translates to "until". BUT!!! "Biss" translates to "bite" (cause it's about vampires, get it?) and I just love this wordplay because then it translates to "Twilight - bite at dawn". German titles are always so extra because whoever is translating them always tries to make a play on words based on the story.
German is such a fucking cool language if you can get around der, die and das lmao
I love our German titles to be honest.
@@FallenKuroTaiyo I love them too but I do question those that leave the English title and then add some German words as well. But in my language, they translated "Iron Man" to "Man of Steel" so I ain't one to judge.
Love that
I’ve been wanting to learn German for the longest time- this just might be the reason I’ll be learning soon!
"Why can't it be Charlize and Renault."
Because Meyer wants money, not a french cease and desist-letter.
Your suffering is entertaining.
Elza I agree
That sounds like the tagline of a edgy young adult dystopian novel.
I agree twilight is not that great
😆
@@kevmine4749 it'll be the new "may the odds ever be in your favor" just give me 6 months
"Jessamine seems like something a musician would write a song about when they are trying to personify their addiction to ketamine into a lover." Well, I laughed out LOUD.
Hahahahahaha yessssss
That is oddly specific. Yet plausible.
@@Mecharnie_Dobbs look up logic's song called 'nikki' about nicotine, haha.
Sounds like a stripper name.
I'm new to this channel. Recommeded by TH-cam. Actually there is another author who named her character "Jessamine Lovelace", a book by Cassandra Clare called Clockwork Angel.
It would actually quiet funny if Teenage Boy-Bella would think something like "Damn, I should've shower this morning and not just use my Deo..."
This made me realise
How tf did Charlie not get custody of Bella?
He was so much more involved( in a healthy way) in Bellas life and he actively acted like a parent instead of Bellas best friend.
Well, i guess Myers went with the realism here..
Fathers who fight for custody are more likely to get it than mothers. That's just fact. Most parents mutually agree on the mom having more custody, but if they don't agree and it goes to the courts, dad is more likely to win. Which should be no surprise.
@@inapickle806 that’s…. Just not even true.
Seriously, how did Charlie not get custody? Renee was downright negligent. Ran off to go tour the country in a van or whatever with her new husband, THREW AWAY HER CELL PHONE so her daughter has zero way to contact her, leaves her with a father she hasn’t seen in YEARS, and doesn’t even bring her there physically to get her settled in?!
we don't actually know how involved he was when Bella was a child
@@valereebraz198 it actually is, the same statistic that says moms get more custody literally say within the same study that fathers will get it more if they fight more. literally show up to court and you will get custody. answer basic questions like what school they go to, how the grades are, you'll get it.
Every time I hear the name Beaufort, I am reminded of the bully character from the cartoon Phineas and Ferb who had the same name.
Beaufort B. Justic from Smokey and the Bandit is all I think about
same for me and with Jessamine I was thinking of the infernal devices
Same 😂😂
Wasn't he spelled as Bufort tho?
I just realized I've been pronouncing it wrong 😂😂
She should have turned Jasper into Jade, it makes so much sense!!
Underrated comment 👏🏻
Oh yeah...
Or at least James to Jade. Wtf kind of name is Joss.
@@harnessmadeofhopes *Joss Weiden would like to know your location*
No
I actually think Edythe is better than Edward as a character and more like, "laid back" around intimacy because Stephanie actually is no longer a Mormon. She had conflicts with her own faith at the time when she was writing the original series.
How you know she isn't Mormon anymore ? Because people are still pointing out how she's Mormon. 😂
Wait whaat
Eh, I doubt that's all it is. The whole genderbending trope is *very* often criticised as transphobic, & a good reason for it is that genderbent characters are often more sexual than their canon counterparts. So I'm not at all surprised to see sex mentioned here
I don't know if it's because of her beliefs or whatever, but I do think both Edyth and Beau were a bit more chill than their counterparts. They were slightly less over the top.
@@BooksandBuns Seems like a massive stretch to attach it to transphobia and not just gender stereotypes as a whole. Frankly, I would still find it ridiculous to take offense at these for gender stereotyping, but at least it would have actual basis. Like, if the male variant of a female original is more sexual, that seems more like a stereotype of men, as well as an attempt to differentiate the genderbent dynamics from the originals. And if it's the other way around, then it's more of a byproduct of the female variant acting out behaviors of the male original (who was most likely already sexually forward in the original).
Now I admit the male-to-female route can typically go two ways... either A) they're going for a sex-positive liberated feminist angle to go along with her forward nature that already existed for the male original, or B) the "worst case scenario"... it's being written by some poor sap who wants a woman to step on them. And yet there is one overriding similarity between the two of these... neither of them are transphobic.
"JESAMINE SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING A MUSICIAN WOULD WRITE WHEN THEYRE TRYING TO PERSONIFY THEIR ADDICTION TO KETAMINE"
What is it with Romantic books and Apples????? What's wrong with oranges???!!! Get your vitamin C people!!!
But what if I am a vitamin C people?
Or mushrooms for that Vitamin D
Pears? Cherries? ....bananas? ;)
Forbidden knowledge, yo!
I think it's for symbolism reasons/purposes-Y'know,the Apple? T-the whole _Forbiddon fruit-related aspect of it all_
I feel like an opportunity was missed when Stephanie made her diamond sparkle monsters vampires. They could have been dark fae out of Celtic mythology, and not only would everything have made more sense, but she could have gotten points for creativity.
oh my god i never knew i needed this
Yeah but then she'd be promoting things that don't exist under Mormonism and can't have that!
That would have been too close to Artemis Fowl...
PosthumanHeresy as if vampires and werewolves exist? lol
Lux Borealis
true, but aren't they normal fae and then sub-species of fae?
TH-cam algorithm: Here! “I read genderbent Twilight so you didn’t have to!”
Me:... I wasn’t planning on it but okay *click*
I don’t regret it 😂😂😂
What we really want is a book about Jasper. And a book about Alice. And a book about Carlisle. And a book about Esme. Honestly, the background characters are so interesting, but we get to experience Edward and Bella. 😂😂
this is so real😂
Yeah, the side characters are more fun and interesting than the main two characters! 😂
To be honest, I find it cute that Stephenie Meyer took the time to research the genderbent scenarios to the point that she realized she couldn't make Beaufort's parents divorce something realistic. You know, in a novel about teenage vampire love.
It speaks a lot about her approach to writing: not always the best choices, for she is not the greatest author ever, but even when the story's many flaws come forward you know she still cared for it. And Twilight happened because she had a dream one night and kept it in her heart.
Is like if Cinderella won a publishing deal instead of a prince. Makes me hate E.L. James so much more.
I'd say James cares, she just worse then meiyer.
Ten outta ten, she made a strong effort.
Kata Nina who told you that? a fever you can’t sweat out came out on september 27, 2005. the first twilight book came out on october 5, 2005. i find it highly unlikely that stephenie meyer managed to write a novel-length self-insert fanfiction about brendon urie and publish it a week after his debut album.
E L James is one of the evil step sisters in this one
“...approach to writing: not always the best choices, for she is not the greatest author ever, but even when the story’s many flaws come forward you know she still cares for it.”
That’s my approach to writing, too 😂 certainly not the best, questionable choices here and there-but goddamn if I don’t love it with my entire heart!
These genderbend photoshops are the reason why I can't sleep at night
@@ramu-silly Every time Archie pops up I'm so confused I don't remember what I'm watching for a moment xd
I’ve never read the books but from watching the movies or from what I’ve seen in the movies, Rosalie was my favorite character. She had reasons for being how she was, she wanted to be loved and she got her human life ripped away from her. Plus the fact that she got her revenge! I just enjoyed her more than the others..
okay... but it's a better author written fanfic than the cursed child.
yes. 100%
I'd even go as far as to say Cursed Child is better then Midnight Sun.
I worked at Barnes and Noble when this was released. They sent us 200 copies. Months later, we still had 189 copies in our back room.
I work in a bookshop. We still have a fuckton of copies left of the third book. Hardcover, stored away, gathering dust.
That sucks. I honestly enjoyed the book alot and I Re-dead it every year(Life and Death)
Aw, I got mine off a barnes and noble
And now Midnight Sun is selling out lol
I love twilight and I didn't even know this existed
2:22 Imagine not getting a new Twilight book because the author of the only love story not better than Twilight did it first. Smh
To be fair, while EL James GOT there first, Stephanie Meyer had already been working on Midnight Sun and EL James probably wouldn’t have written Grey if she hadn’t known about Midnight Sun
She stopped writing the book because she had given a friend a copy to look over and edit and they leaked what they had to the public. She felt betrayed which yeah.
@@teddy-1965 Well when for some reason I read that Grey book and it was terrible, I hope Stephanie does a better job because Grey was quite the dissapointment and it really felt like she just wrote a summery of all the 50shades books without actually new information about the male lead character. (It's been years since I read that book, so could be I remember it more negative because of the dissapointment lol)
@@blaah9999 EVERYONE BETRAY ME! I'M FED UP WITH THIS BOOK! Huh, now I'm wondering which of them I consider the actually worse romance writer, and I'm not certain. I mean The Room is _bad_ sure, but is it really worse than Twilight?
I don't know, I'd be bummed if my copycat kept getting away with things. Especially if I still had to write the thing and summon the willpower, all while wondering if it'd be too similar... creatives are weird. I can understand that frame of mind. And then I'd go cry on my pillow made of dollars, I guess.
*finds the lesbian twilight fanfic*
OH THAT’S MUCH BETTER
where is it? i haven't found it yet 🙇🏻♀️😅😂
Source pls
link or name pls
To everyone asking for the lesbian twilight in this comments replies. Install Wattpad.
@@user-ie6ei5rh2e I have wattpad but havent seem any lesbian twilight fic
0:40 So, apparently (wikipedia), the whole saga have first been published under the name "Saga du désir interdit" (Saga of Forbidden Desire). The 4 books were titled "Fascination", "Tentation", "Hésitation" and "Révélation" (I don't think I have to translate as those words are almost the same in English). All this sounds very much like the titles of some erotic books from the 70s. :D
8:02 - "She's making a face like I stink but all I can smell is my Axe Body Spray--oh no, that actually checks out"
To be honest, back then I didn’t mind the Axe body spray. It’s the combination with sweat after a hot day for me. 🤢🤢Also when it would be sprayed on too much. I haven’t smelled Axe Body Spray in years though.
When I was 14, I met my axe-coated future husband. Now every time I smell it I smile.
But this comment honestly killed me 😂
"I'd always said it would have gone exactly the same way if the roles were reversed."
*The book literally ends in the exact opposite way of the original twilight story.*
I imagine that the ending was different because the other main complaint (aside from Bella being a helpless klutz) was that all the drama would have been avoided if the Cullens had just changed her like she begged them to. This was Meyer's chance to write it as a one-book (s)he's a vampire now(!) ending.
She also changed other things.
If y’all wanna read a good Twilight fanfic i recommend Brokeback Twilight, which is a retelling of Eclipse with the twist that Jacob imprints on Edward and they have to figure out the love triangle from there.
Omg where I can find this?
what
She actually hasn’t been working on midnight sun for 12 years. When someone leaked the first few book chapters she didn’t want to work in it because she didn’t feel motivated anymore. But her mother (Candy) convinced her to keep working. 😁
Stephanie Meyer can't write anything else. She'll just keep rewriting Twilight.
Hey now she's done like... two other things
@@AmandaTheJedi haha. I think the idea of her just writing different versions of the same story is funny. Ok, now how about Twilight from the perspective of one of the normal kids at school or Twilight from the perspective of mustache dad.
I think she was aiming to be akin to LJ Smith, but LJ had an *entire* Night World universe, including Vampire Diaries before it became a show. Stephanie could never. She rode this one horse so long, it should be glue by now.
@@matane2465 I misread that last part thinking you meant the POV of her dad's mustache 🤦🏽♀️😂
@@pagingdrbitchcraft Yeah, the only way she could recover would be to make perspectives from lesser known characters and then insert stuff in their POVs that she could build on. She's not gonna do that though. Next book: "okay, so like, it's Twilight again, BUT, what if the Cullens were wErEwOlVeS and Jacob was a vAmPiRe?? Am I wowing you yet...?"
Amanda: if twilight was lesbians it would be better
Me: haha nice
Amanda: *has digimon stuffed animals and a spider-man poster in the bg*
Me: this woman? she's after my own heart???
yes but also consider: Everything stays the same except Bella and Alice are the main couple
Imma be honest, I relate better to Bo than Bella (mainly cuz ima dude). This book is a guilty pleasure of mine and I’ve read it more than once. And I can say i definitely prefer the audio book more. The reading by Michael crouch is a masterpiece.
"...trying to personify their addiction to Ketamine into a lover." That is solid gold and so accurate, nicely done!
when you mentioned liking Edith more than Edward, I was thinking of all that fanficition that must exist of BellaxEdith and I kinda want to read those now
EdYthE* :D
Same
"Is it being beautiful that's made you so cruel?" Is now my favorite line ever, thank you.
she had beau turn into a vampire because she's a coward and didn't want anyone to assume a continuation of the series would end in mpreg
My middle name is Edythe as well as my moms and it was my great grandmothers first name. I think she pointed it out for it to stand out as different. When people find out my middle name and how it’s spelled they’ll usually say something like “oh that’s a unique spelling” or something like that so people usually seem to notice. I’ve never seen the name be spelled the way it is except for myself and my family, up until this book.
That’s pretty funny ngl, because my middle name is Beaufort
Next you're gonna tell me there's a fem/dom version of Fifty Shades of Grey.
Give EL some time she'll get there
that might actually be interesting as long as EL isn't the one who writes it lol
Oh god please no
shh... don’t give her any ideas
@@annas.3527 yes please
Twilight is 12 years old, good god, doesn't feel that long ago.
Twilight the book is 15 years old
Thankfully, _it does_
@@AmandaTheJedi I can feel the external dread coming along, thanks.
Twilight is older than I am
This video made me look for Beau/Edward fanfics and I don't regret it
Now for the next anniversary we either need a lesbian live story between Edyth and Bella or one with Jacob and Edward. Now that’s a story I’d read TALK ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF D R A M A
I haven’t read a single one of these books but it sounds like girl!Edward/Edyth should date Bella. I shall claim this ship despite refusing to learn about the characters
Same lol
*Edythe
I heard a call for gay fanfiction? *pulls up Quotev*
I agree and relate to not knowing jack shit about the characters
Genderfluid vampire!!!!
So basically: Twilight as a harem anime.
@Candii Skulls wouldn't be surprise there is a off the radar twilight hentai manga from japan somewhere we haven't seen yet you know what, let me see if there is such a thing or any rumors of it, i went on incognito and found that there is a graphic novel from the books...huh
It's already reverse harem and Bella has exactly enough personality to rival every boring harem anime ever. So...where is the difference?
Well Edward isn't throwing bella through a wall for looking at another guy.
Vampire Knight is a thing. Not a harem, but there is a 2M1F love triangle of sorts
It wasn't before?
"I read gender bent twilight so you don't have to"
Me: I am honored by your sacrifice! 🙏🙌👍
She mentions Taylor. Me: Who’s Taylor? Who’s Taylor?!
I want to know too
I think Taylor is gender bent Tyler
Tyler
Am I the only one who wondered how Edward got erections on account of having no blood flow?!
His venom
CS F Thank you. In Buffy them vampires are warm blooded and there’s magic(impure demons). In young Dracula the vampire are warm blooded and sorta age and there’s magic. In true blood, etc.. These are hard as stone, venom filled, no magic, no aging, vampires.
Well, if he could walk and talk (which also requires a blood flow, you know) the he could have erections, they are not special.
@@WhiteScorpio2 Now you are applying real world biology to something biologically impossible. Walking and talking requires being alive, which vampires technically aren't, so they are some kind of impossible magical creature that can work quite different from humans. Besides, there are creatures (like e.g. insects or crabs) that can move without having a blood circulation like mammals.
Horny magic
oOOHHH Jessamine, your pain relief is SO SWEET
I don't know what I'm doing with my life anymore, stick around to the end of the video for a bad surprise
Guys I know 'La Fascination' doesn't translate to Twilight
No it's not either, it's the name of the first book in French Twilight: Fascination, the second one is called Tentation
@@benthekingofking Yeah, I get that
@@AmandaTheJedi Sorry if I sounded like an ass, really a huge fan of your work, you were my break during my finals from home and from hell
@@benthekingofking Aha nah not at all you're good, good luck with finals!
As a Jessamyn (close enough) I particularly appreciated that. Thanks
I haven't touched the Twilight books but watching you explain and comment everything made me feel like I was attending an intensive class on this thing. All that is missing are the participation diplomas.
"Life and Death" is probably going to be turned into an Anime someday.
I would have been more interested in this book, when bella was the vampire and Edward the human. No gender switching but ... vampire-human switches
Sooo would the scenerios be swapped too or just the vampire aspect? Cause I have a feeling if Bella saw human Edward breaking into her room to watch her sleep she would probably just throw him out the window and the book would end.
@@hyperspecificescapism4657 I would imagine that bella is now with the cullens.
Or maybe The cullens are humans, too and charlie not :D
That's actually a pretty interesting concept. It'd be cool to see how a selfless Bella acts when she's a hundred year old blood thirsty vampire alongside how Edward would be - much more innocent and doesn't have to suppress all of his emotions along with the thirst in order to keep himself contained and he'd just let go.
That sounds like a distinction without a difference. Vampire girl falls in love with human boy, how is that not exactly the same thing as Edith & Bowfart or whatever his name is? If Bella were vampire she wouldn't even be Bella and same goes for Edward as a human. What, she'd be a whiny clumsy self-conscious vampire who didn't think anyone could ever love her because she's so unattractive and boring despite being a powerful Flawless vampire? And Edward would be whiny, broody & afraid of hurting his vampire lover because he's so strong and dangerous despite actually being a weak puny squishy human?
I read a fanfiction kind of like this once. Edward and Alice were human twins while Bella and the rest of the Cullens were vampires. It was pretty good. Don't remember the name, though.
Gender bent Twilight is actually a thing, How did we get here?
Hundreds of thousands of years of human history and evolution of our species, and we ended up on this... I sympathize with the Corona virus right about now.
@The Black Baron You know that my comment was also a reference to the 2008 classic, Decode by Paramore, right?
@@ronstoppable5659 I got it.
WHEN I USED TO KNOW YOU SO WEEEELLLLLLLL???? HOW DID WE GET HERE??? WELL, I THINK I KNOOOOOOWWWWWWW
AND THE DAAAYS GO BYYYYYYYYYYY!!!
ONCE IN A LIIIIFETIIIIIIIME!!!!!!!
I just finished the book. I agreed about the 15 pages could be another book -- I'm so mad 😞 just want more of this gender-swap version, it's too short in 1 book!
I haven't read Twilight, but I read Life and Death. It was actually kind of awesome. Silly, yes, but lots of fun.
I really want to read this book now, lol. Had no idea it existed. Some of these names are straight outa of fan fiction, even though they're from the original author. Like they're trying just too hard to make exotic unique names.
Royal was the worst name there's no way someone before 1970 names their kid that
And I thought I was bad xD
yeah making your character name sound unique to make you look smart is pretty stupid why can't we just have charactera like Paul and Phil
@@jazzycat8917or maybe just trying to come up with names in the community when on average Mormons have twice as many kids as everyone else. You can only have so many Porters
The original Twilight is a fan-fiction, so no surprise really.
"I couldn understand why she made such a grimace, all I could smell was my * AXE Straberry Assault *
Favorite line " I knew I must look like a gorilla on a greyhound " LMFAO
4:36 Beaufort litterally translate as Beautifulstrong. And that's also the name of a well known cheese in France. So, not the most romantical name in the world.
Why not do normal names like Billy or Bob??
that's my middle name sooooooo
@@buizeltube6624 Well... keep the "beautiful-strong" and forget about the cheese, I guess? :)
@@bobiboulon yep hahaha
I look forward to the 20th anniversary when she turns them all into dogs and cats.
Furry Twilight doesn't sound too bad, tbh
30th year anniversary she will make them all cave men like far cry primal and they will be fighting against other vampiric cave men tribes and hunt Sabertooth tigers, dinosaurs, and dragons on the side XD!
Why did I laugh so hard at Ernst jumping of the cliff. Probably because it's the most Ernest thing.
Is he Ernst in the City and Jack in the County?
@@hunterlee8383 sure, why not?
The only Billy Burke performance that eclipses his run in the twilight series is his Cult Leader character in the hilariously awesome Drive Angry. He's clearly having the time of his f**king life and I love it.
Jessamine just makes me think of The Infernal Devices trilogy by Cassandra Care (and it takes place in the 1800s)
Okay, so... this is actually something I unironically wanted for a very long time. Supernatural romance with the female in the dominant role is like impossible to find, outside of outright fetish fiction, which is not what I'm looking for. To get something like this, from Stephenie Meyer of all people, is absolutely amazing 👀
I've felt this way for so long! Like for example instead of the flirtatious "bad boy" and blushing girl trope it's a flirtatious girl and blushing boy. It's these small things within a fictional relationship dynamic I really wish existed but barely do, and it seriously narrows down my reading lists
i think Fate is the only real supernatural romance with fantastical female
@@pia.r.002 Exactly! It shouldn't be too much to ask to have an assertive girl once in a while in a romance novel, but it just doesn't happen, and I'm so fed up with bad boys who ride the line between cockyness and abuse (and more often than not even cross it).
@@pia.r.002
I KNOW! Bad girlxShy boy is a lot more interesting as a dynamic. When it's your stereotypical cute and shy girl paired with a flirty bad boy it makes my eyes roll sometimes, it really reveals the writers lack of creativity in that department. So cliché!
.
@@rgama1173 That's a shame, really. There's a whole unexplored market out there, I can't be the only person who's into that sort of thing.
I can't believe there is a gender bend Twilight, a Edward version on the way 12 years later and people who like The Host are waiting since 10 years for a second book.
It is probably the way that Edythe was spelt in early 1900’s
Edith was spelt edith.
No. The top 1000 lists of names given in the US all the way back to 1880 can be found online. While I have actually found "Edythe" on some of them, Edith was always more popular and the standard spelling of the name.
The part about teen senses being heightened is so true. As a tween I would always root for the more passionate relationship, the one that fell in love quick and you can’t think straight. But now I root for the one where they have the same interests, they’re nice to each other, they like each other and it can slowly progress to love etc
Spelling a name that doesn’t usually contain “y” with a “y” for the heck of it?
Stephanie Meyers a Karen confirmed
Or an "a" because we're totally not children
Maybe she saw it in GRRM's books and thought it was cool and fantasy-ish haha
One of my neighbors has a teenage son named "Aarynn" with that exact spelling. 😅 They're not mormons just hipsters.
@@jazzycat8917 Joke's on you, Mormonism is an entire religion of Karens.
I mean I feel like I've known since she had them name the baby "Renesmee"
I feel like while with this book, SM wanted to proove that she didn't use steoreotypes in twilight, she just proved that she did and that she also cant help herself but do it again? Like, for a girl vampire its 'easier to handle her sexual urges' nd male bella has to get hurt physically to a point where he pukes (females do dont such disgusting things) 🤔
i would not want a movie scene of either vomiting though vomit bothers me generally but i hate it too like this just makes edward look way worse as a character and I hate it.
The reason the ending is so convoluted and difficult is because there were a lot of fans and haters who claimed the other three books were pointless and that she should have been changed in the first book. Stephanie used this as an excuse to prove her point - that without the other books it would have been rushed.
I'm only halfway through the video and I already love everything in this.

This re-imagined stuff sounds so much more intriguing than a story of a virgin being pressured into hardcore sexual practises by her first boyfriend ever. Just saying.
Excuse me but how many years has it been since you read the series? Bella is just so dam thirsty for Edward, she's barely virginal in everything but the actual act lmao and tbh Edward was deffo an awkward virgin too
@@aimun5255 they're talking about 50 shades of grey
@@aimun5255 Oh oh we got a Twilight fan.
Actually I don’t like twilight but I know Aimun Afaq is right. Bella was thirsty af
@@randomgrmlin No shit Sherlock, it's a video about twilight
What makes me sad is that everyone hates on Meyer for twilight (which I understand) but she wrote The Host which I loved. I wish she would’ve continued it as a book series because it was awesome.
Yessssss
Yyyesss someone who knows. The Host is my favorite book ever.
I love The Host!!
I bought that book years ago and never found the time to read it because so many people said it sucked. Now I have no idea where it is.
oh yeah i loved the host too :)
she also wrote the chemist that's awesome too.
She isn't a bad author just twilight isn't that good and i think she continues it because of the fame it got, she must make lot's of money with twilight more than with any other book
She wrote a fanfic about her own story 😂
As a guy, Life and Death was amazing for me! I always loved Twilight but I connected with Beau in a way I never could with Bella. And Beau’s interactions with Edythe took on a completely different dynamic and tone and I found myself falling in love with her! So I really appreciate Smeyer for writing this! I know her intention was to shut up some haters, but she unintentionally wrote a book for men who want read about a passionate romance too!
