Editor's Note: If you have not read the "Twilight" series through the end, and do not want to know any hints about what happens, do not read this article. There are some spoilers throughout, you have been warned!
Is there anybody out there who hasn't at least heard of the bestselling series, "Twilight"? Who doesn't know what a "vegetarian" vampire is? Who hasn't heard of Edward and Bella? Almost everyone I have spoke to in my life so far has at least heard of "Twilight", if they haven't they sure have now! "Twilight" is probably the most popular book series out there right now.
I am a huge fan of "Twilight", if I could become a vampire I probably would. Everyone tells me I am obsessed (but I don't think I am so freakishly obsessed my life revolves completely around "Twilight"). I like to compare my friends to characters from "Twilight" and then tell them who they are most like. I could ramble on about "Twilight" for hours and then wonder why people are acting annoyed as if they want me to shut up. I admit, after I bought the "Twilight" movie guide I would sit in front of the mirror and debate on if I looked most like Bella, Alice, Rosalie, or Victoria (which I never decided in case you were wondering). I adore "Twilight" so I was curious to know other Whyvillians' opinions on this amazing series.
Ax3vmpyr: Who is your favorite character in Twilight and why?
sims2girl: My favorite character is Jacob. He's so . . . realistic. I mean, really, his character is just a kid trying to deal with his problems.
msof57: Emmett Cullen. I love sarcasm and he just seems to fit that description perfectly in my opinion.
Monet1616: Alice and Rosalie tie for that, because Alice is very fashion coordinated and she's caring, sweet, and can see the future. Rosalie because she's as self centered and conceited as I am.
creamipie: Edward because he is so cute and brave. I love how he is so polite to everyone.
101chi: My favorite character is Edward Cullen obviously! He is so sweet and everything to everyone. In your mind when you're reading the book you think he is hot too. In the movie, Jasper is my favorite and I am his wife.
patsynga: My favorite character is Edward because he would be an awesome person to actually talk to and it would be so cool to know him.
Wicked777: I like Jasper because the story behind his character is interesting, and it shaped who he is as a person. He's also quiet and thoughtful. He's okay with silence. His character is also the most "flawed" in some ways, but it makes him seem more realistic.
Ax3vampyr: Which one of the books was your favorite and why?
Sims2girl: "Eclipse". I don't know why; I think the tension between Edward and Jacob is cute, and I really had no idea how it would end.
msof57: "New Moon". I mainly liked it because the dead to honest truth was that Edward wasn't there in 3/4 of the book.
Monet1616: Can't go into details for those who don't want it spoiled, but it's just romantic and I love romance.
creamipie: "Eclipse", because it was so action packed, funny, and romantic. I think it was Stephanie Meyers best writing.
101chi: Probably "Breaking Dawn" because it had a Jacob part and his titles were so good. I loved how he thought too.
patsynga: "Twilight" is my favorite because it's so cool to watch Bella and Edward's relationship grow and I love the story.
Wicked777: I liked "Twilight" because it had the most realistic plot and the focus was much more on the characters than the action. Later in the series, it seemed like a lot of the action was put in there to just to keep the story entertaining.
Ax3vampyr: Have you seen the movie? If so, what did you think of it?
Sims2girl: Yes. I found it a bit embarrassing, but I can't NOT like it, if you know what I mean.
msof57: No, I haven't and I don't plan on it.
Monet1616: I have seen the movie, and it was entirely horrible. The effects were horrible and everything, I do mean everything, was wrong. That and Bella wasn't NEARLY as klutzy as she was in the book.
creamipie: Yes, I have seen the movie. I think it was not at all like the book but it was best movie I've seen in a long time.
101chi: The movie was kind of a disappointment. Edward looked ugly and it was not as exciting as the book. I kinda thought Bella was a bad actor at some parts. They picked out a good Jasper though.
patsynga: I have not seen the movie. I'm going to see it soon though.
Wicked777: No. I was upset when I found out it would be made into a movie, and I couldn't stand the idea of sitting there and watching it. The original is always the best, a movie adaptation almost never lives up to the book.
Ax3vampyr: Which character can you most relate to?
Sims2girl: Jacob. I'm not a wolf or anything . . . But, like, he's the most real of the gang.
msof57: Emmett definitely, but I'm no giant muscle man. I can hardly do five push-ups in gym!
Monet1616: I can most relate to Rosalie because every time I catch a glimpse of my reflection I have to flip out over the slightest cowlick and oo and aww over myself.
creamipie: Bella, ha ha. I am not very sporty, not very tan, and I lived with my mom but she is falling in love with a guy so I decided to go with my dad . . . no lie! My friends do say my mom looks a lot like Bella, but I don't agree.
101chi: I guess maybe Bella because we are both aren't really part of the crowd and we think a lot.
patsynga: I can relate most to Bella. All my friends think so. It's amazing how much we are alike!
Wicked777: I have a bit of each character in me, so I really don't know.
Ax3vampyr: Is there anything you dislike about "Twilight"? If so, what is it?
Sims2girl: I guess I dislike Edward's intensity. I mean, not everything's a matter of life or death. If someone did act like that around me, he'd be on the curb before he could blink.
msof57: Mainly Edward and Bella. They just annoy me so much . . . it's very complicated to explain and if I did I would probably be blackmailed.
Monet1616: I don't dislike anything about "Twilight" but the movie. "Twilight" is more than an obsession to me: It's a fantasy.
creamipie: No, I don't hate anything about it.
101chi: I don't like how the series ended.
patsynga: I don't like the fact that Edward leaves in "New Moon".
Wicked777: I dislike when the series gets too dramatic and when the plots become predictable. I also don't like the fact that Bella's character always seems so helpless. The books annoy me when I can tell a scene was only put in a certain place because it wouldn't fit anywhere else. I don't like how sometimes the story only focuses on the action and not the characters
Ax3vampyr: Who is your least favorite character and why?
Sims2girl: Probably Leah. I don't know why, she's just really annoying.
msof57: Probably Bella Swan. In my opinion, Stephenie tried too hard to make her seem like the average teenager. It certain places, that applied quite well but Bella was too whiney and weak for my tastes. She couldn't go out and slay Victoria on her own?
Monet1616: My least favorite character is Leah because she's rude, annoying, and she kind of harassed Bella who I have grown fond of . . .
creamipie: Hmm . . . I have to say Laurent because he never really says anything really helpful after the first book.
101chi: My least favorite character is Mike because he is annoying but that's how it's supposed to be because a lot of people like Bella, but still.
patsynga: My least favorite character is Laurent because he tried to do away with Bella and the Cullens (and Hales of course).
Wicked777: Bella. She's very melodramatic, very self-sacrificing, and very obvious about her insecurities. It would be nice if the reader got to know her as a person and find out how she would behave if she never knew Edward.
Ax3vampyr: Which team are you on?
Sims2girl: SWITZERLAND BABY!
msof57: Team Harry Potter.
Monet1616: Well, I must admit that Taylor Lautner is hot, but I'm on Team Edward. Vampires just seem to strike my interest more than shape shifters.
creamipie: I'm definitely on Team Edward because he is sooo cute.
101chi: In the book TEAM EDWARD! In the movie TEAM EDWARD . . . I think.
patsynga: I'm with the Cullens.
Wicked777: Excuse me? If I answer that one I'll have a lot of y-mail deal with?
Ax3vampyr: If Twilight was real and you knew what the Cullens were, what do you think your life would be like?
Sims2girl: Probably a lot like Bella's. I'm way too curious not to find out more about "vegetarian" vampires. I mean, how cool is that?
msof57: Probably lonely, since everyone in their family would be hooked up with someone and I would be all alone.
Monet1616: Hectic and interesting. I'd probably get someone to bite me, or the Volturi would have to come get everybody.
creamipie: Action - Packed.
patsynga: It would be awesome! I could have the chance to date a vampire. The Cullens would all be so awesome to talk to and hang out with.
101chi: I would still like them just like Bella likes Edward still and I would fall in love with Edward.
Wicked777: Well, I'd probably be dead. If I knew what the Cullens were, that would probably mean that other people would know, too. Then, to keep their existence a secret, the Vulturi would have to kill everyone who knew. I don't think things would be too pretty in the end.
Ax3vampyr: If you could write a book about what happened after "Breaking Dawn" what would you have happen?
Sims2girl: Carlisle would find a cure for vampirism. Edward and Bella would have to decide whether or not to live a normal human life . . . I think the conflict would be great.
msof57: Honestly, I would love to have Bella, Edward, and Renesmee leave the series entirely and see what life is like without them.
Monet1616: After "Breaking Dawn", I would have a book with Renesmee and Jacob (Sorry if that spoiled anything!). They just seem so awesome together, I'd love to write or read a book about them.
creamipie: I haven't really read all of the series but I am on "Breaking Dawn".
101chi: I would write how Bella somehow got changed back to human so she could still be prone to trouble and how she would be the fragile little person she was before she turned into a vampire.
patsynga: You know I don't really know. I haven't really ever thought about that.
Wicked777: I wouldn't. If I kept Edward and Bella together, the story would be predictable with the whole "love conquers all" thing. If I had Edward and Bella break up, I'd be hunted down by a mob of angry fans. Anything beyond "Breaking Dawn" would take away meaning from the other books.
Ax3vampyr: If you were a vampire what do you think your life would be like? Would you be a "vegetarian" vampire or a wild vampire?
Sims2girl: Who said I'm not one? I jest, I jest. But I can't really fathom what life must be like for the Cullens. Some of it sounds cool, but most of it sounds boring. I'd probably be a renegade, like Edward during his "teenage" years.
msof57: A veggie vampy. I'm a pacifist so it all pieces together quite nicely.
Monet1616: If I were a vampire . . . Well, you shouldn't ask Monet' this, she's kind of loopy already. Probably vegetarian, animal blood dilutes the red eyes quicker. That and I wouldn't want to do anything stupid to get caught.
creamipie: Vegetarian vampire. I would feel guilty if I ate a human . . . my life would be so fun! I'd be like Alice if I were being a VAMPIRE, not a human.
101chi: VEGETARIAN VAMPIRE in honor of the Cullens! Mostly Edward, Jasper, and Alice.
patsynga: Well for one I wouldn't be as clumsy. I would be a lot paler (Scary thought) and of course beautiful! It would be pretty cool! I would probably have some kind of extra power thing like Edward and Alice have. And of course I would be a "vegetarian" vampire.
Wicked777: I'd spend all my time learning, probably. I've never actually been a vampire (shocking, I know), so it's tough to say. I hope that I'd use my time and abilities to cure a few diseases and maybe help out the environment. I think I'd be a "vegetarian", and if I could I would become an actual vegetarian.
That's all for my interview! I could have asked hundreds more questions but my interviewees probably would have gotten sick of answering my questions if I added too many more.
Hope you all enjoyed! Can't wait to see what you all think of my interview! Thanks for reading!
See you all in the BBS,
~Ax3vampyr
