hot take? but the Twilight fandom needs to stop citing Mormonism for everything that happens in this hell series.

the characters aren't Mormon. the plot isn't Mormon. the wardrobe isn't Mormon. this series was WRITTEN BY a Mormon woman whose religious indoctrination influenced her work. there are themes, plot points, characterizations, etc, that are related to or in line with LDS teachings. saying the book/characters are Mormon is not the same.

the more you label everything in text as Mormon, the less likely you'll be able to identify the actual religious influences

and if you think you are somehow immune to the influence of something you cannot correctly identify, think again

#red thread corkboard squad needs to come back #besties wya :( #we were really on one when we were talking about theology in a critical way #now the fandom has genuinely adopted this insane notion that everything is or can be explained by Mormonism #and honestly guys not to be a hater but regurgitating meta & crit lit theory you learned via osmosis does not mean you Get It #considering the fact that the whole reason i started fuckmeyer 1.0 was to generate more crit lit discussion on twilight #you have no idea how much it pains me to say this #bc i WANT more crit lit discussion of this saga. analyzing literature is fun as hell!!!!! #but....... seeing people hop on shitposts & headcanons to 'prove' how much they 'know' the inner mechanisms of twilight #genuinely makes me sad. like the Point of analyzing lit is not to reaffirm your intelligence or show others how smart & woke you are.......

popular (ya) media is so overrun with teen wolf, sjm-esque supernatural creatures. rn it's fae, ten years ago it was vampires and werewolves, but they're always the same: basically human with just a little extra oomf. sexy white men with six pack abs but they have ~fangs~ ;) and they're ~super strong~ ;)

coward behavior. love interests or not, give me the monsters. give me a shifter who's less and less human every time they shift. give me a vampire whose wounds never heal bc they're not alive enough. give me a werewolf whose cheeks and lips are scarred because their canid teeth are too big and sharp for their human mouth.

give me a real celtic fae, a creature like the old legends, a selki who's always dripping water and smelling of the sea, even in human form. a banshee whose gaze is always fixed towards the next to die, whether she can see them or not.

Something something Van Helsing slowly introducing everyone in Dracula to vampires without actually telling them vs Edward Cullen telling Bella to “say it out loud” without actually telling her

#there’s something here ! ! ! ! #I just can’t quite grasp it yet #dracula #Dracula daily #twilight #van helsing #pls read this random musing from a year ago when I first read dracula and somehow saved this in my drafts #the time has come… have my ridiculous conclusions #lit

Every teenage girl has:

a) a society telling her constantly that the only thing she should be interested in is love and BOYSSSS!

b) a frustrated lust for violence

And the societal role of YA fantasy/sci-fi fiction is to act like it's just conforming to the former, while in reality appealing pretty transparently to the latter.

#ya lit #hot take #feminism #this isn't JUST about hunger games #or holly black's 'various girls with swords' series #or the new film where the female mc straight up eats people #like this is a *thing* #i mean everyone talks about twilight like it was just playing into the fantasy of having two hot guys fight over you #but even in twilight bella's MAIN GOAL throughout the series is actually to become an unkillable vampire with super strength #to the extent that edward even worries at one point that she might just be using him for his immortality #every popular ya fantasy/sci fi series has a core of deep violence #also warrior cats is the junior version of this phenomenon btw

I think I had a breakthrough as to why the tiresome fan theory that Meyer was racist towards Jacob to the point of “destroying” her own character to elevate Team Edward is so popular. And I think it has to do with racism.

Almost from the very beginning Jacob has been framed as the socially appropriate and even conventional choice of suitor for Bella. His dad and Bella’s have been friends for years and Bella had known and played with Jacob’s sisters. When they meet again after many years Bella remarks how easy it is for her to talk to Jacob. During New Moon Charlie approves of Bella’s friendship with Jacob and is firmly Team Jacob in Eclipse. When Jacob says that he and Bella together as a couple would be as “easy as breathing” and that Bella wouldn’t have to give up anything of her human life with him, it not only rings true but is affirmed by Bella’s narrative, re: her vision of two kids running into the forest. And he’s a Native American character.

Edward, on the other hand, the inappropriate star-crossed lover—forbidden in a particularly visceral way—the one for whom it would be downright dangerous to Bella’s health to be with, the one who is most attracted to her blood, the one that haunts Bella’s dreams and fills her with aching passion, lust, and fascination, the one whom she goes the distance (literally) for to save and be with, the one who incurs Charlie’s wrath and disapproval and Renée’s concern…is the fantasy equivalent of a rich white guy.

Socially and economically, Bella is not supposed to be with Edward. Her true “social math” match as a girl from a working class white family is with Jacob.

In framing these love interests the way she has, Meyer subverts the common love triangle framing of dark/light, forbidden/conventional, even in classic romances (Linton as the conventional rich white guy and Heathcliff as the racially ambiguous forbidden lover in Wuthering Heights, the rich white Fleur-de-Lys and the poor but exotically beautiful Esmeralda in Notre Dame de Paris). In doing so Meyer elevates class as the most potent obstacle for the romance instead of race.

I’m not sure why Meyer did this—most likely her Austen influence reared its genteel bonneted head, as Brit Lit is notoriously class-obsessed. But for a series written for an American audience and is otherwise very American (the car culture especially, ho boy), this inevitably inspired backlash. Americans are notoriously very precious about race and Meyer’s blatant disregard for it in the romance definitely struck a racist (and classist) chord.

To say that a low-income Native American love interest would have been a perfectly acceptable if conventional choice for the white heroine than the rich white male love interest is something few people with racial prejudice (or who see everything through race and disregard class entirely) would accept. Meyer did not toe the race line—which means, of course, that she is racist herself, either in not making race the exclusive factor or in making the white lead as the superior and more intense love. Is she truly, though—or is that mere fan projection in being triggered by antiracist choices in the narrative?
