Remember kids, however much you hate Twilight, you’ll never hate it more than Robert Pattinson

I love how Edward's two moods are hangry and anime because same.

“He’ll be sharkboy forever” _see, she gets it._

No one: Absolutely no one: Robert Pattinson: *tries to distance himself from Twillight by becoming Batman and taking different roles* Stephanie Meyer: *releases another book and drags him back down to hell* gEt bAcK hErE, pReTtY bOy

Ironic that people didn’t like the casting of Edward, as the actor himself openly disliked being a part of the franchise.

A wise man once said “Everyone’s had a Twilight phase. You could have hated it or loved it, but either way you had a period in your life where you were emotionally invested in Twilight.”

"Still a better love story than Twilight" -everyone about every love story

I remember reading Twilight in middle school and being disappointed that we spent so much time with the romance and hardly any time with the world or characters I actually liked

9:26 "Obviously, he will be Sharkboy forever-" *spits out water*

Lavendertowne: Uploads The fans within the next second: *I am speed*

I would love to see Leah, Carlisle, Jasper, and Alice in your style oh my god

I really believe Meyer did a self-insert as the protagonist. The character you drew up as Bella literally looks like a cartoon version of Meyer than a toon of Kristen Stewart 🤷‍♀️

"It seems the movie adaptations always age up the characters a little" *flashback to Percy Jackson by the book*

So you're telling me that Jacob is literally just baby

“That’s probably why main characters are so boring” The most accurate thing I’ve heard in a few years

I remember when I read Twilight I almost threw the book across the room because of how Bella literally grabbed some random drugs from the medicine cabinet and knocked herself out because she "couldn't wait that long to see Edward"

My mom knew Stephanie Meyer from church around the time when she was writing twilight and described her as “always daydreaming”

Conclusion, they shouldn’t have made movie adaptations of the twilight series, they should have made a manga/webtoon adaptation

Your version of Edward is way cuter than the movie version. Change my mind.

The issues I have are from the story itself. Bella and Edward are a perfect textbook example of obsessive love, which is a highly toxic relationship type that should be properly discouraged. I get irritated when people say, "It's just a teenage thing! All teen girls are like that! They grow out of it!" No. Just no. Not all are, in fact, most aren't! Dramatic and sometimes over-exuberant, yes, but not overly obsessive. If they are, it shows they do not understand boundaries, among other things, well enough to be dating yet and parents need to sit them down and talk about it. It is a trait of obsessive personality types that needs to be addressed with therapy, not encouraged as a typical teenage trope. Only a small sliver of that behavior is due to brain developmental stages, the rest is learned, and the person is in danger of it becoming a habit that will negatively impact future relationships. The scene in the hospital where she is freaking out about him leaving seriously made me shudder, as well as the multiple life threatening actions she took to "see edward" that was presented as romantic and an example of "typical teenage romance"! WTF!? Also, the book is worse in these regards, the movie took a decent amount of the more worrisome relationship aspects and toned them down or removed them. Not often I see the adaptation of a story to film as an improvement....lol. My apologies if my views offend anyone, but it has been my take-away ever since I read the first book and saw the films. If you enjoyed it, I'm glad, movies should be fun and enjoyable. Lol. Hope you have a wonderful day!!

I just got back from someone criticizing how Bella was a “Mary sue” character I like your explanation more

Bella is so emotionless in the movie and I feel like it makes literally all her interactions with Edward cringy asf😐

If there was a twilight web toon or manga with this Edward, I'd definitely buy a copy!

6:43 that, and authors typically mirror themselves in the main character as they only really know how they feel, not how others truly feel. I know I’ve done this many times myself, as it’s extremely difficult not to do when writing

Honestly, even though Robert Pattison may not have been the perfect person appearance wise in the movie, he was the best acting wise in all the movies. Hate on me if you want, but compared to everyone else, Robert was good. He's a fantastic actor out of Twilight as well.

My dumbass was just like “you drew Jacob like a golden retriever and I love it” then realized he kinda was lmao

LavenderTowne: “Vampires have symmetrical faces.” LavenderTowne : gives Edward a wack cricked smile Love u beyond

I actually read the entire book series back when they were being released, and I eventually fell out of love with them by the end, but the bronze hair color was something that stuck out to me. It was also the first series I'd actually been somewhat into seen be adapted into a movie and I had no idea that directors didn't actually stick to book descriptions when they cast the characters. I thought I was losing my mind when I saw Edward in the movies and his hair was not even close to the reddish golden brown I'd imagined bronze hair to be.

I hope someone out there has a cat named Edward, and a dog named Jacob.

Okay okay- Less than 2 minutes in: “Mom, where’s the twilight books?”

I love how Bella looks like a vampire. Like, even though Edward has a supernatural skin color, you'd expect Bella to be the vampire. Also Edward is super pretty holy shit-

You should do one of these next: IT by Stephen King (specifically Bill) A series of Unfortunate Events The Maze Runner A wrinkle in Time

I let out a really loud, inhuman laugh when you said “special anime eyes” and I have no clue whY

“Special anime eyes” better than sparkles in the sun

I'm totally gonna cosplay your take on Edward. He looks like a Soft Boi™ that could also kill me.

I've had a realization that hit me with a brick and now I can't unsee it: they cast older actors to play young people because they might be talking about sex and you can't have a minor engaging in sexual activities or even innuendo's on film because that would be basically normalizing child pornography. This obviously doesn't happen with every movie, it surely isn't true for Percy Jackson, but think about Riverdale and how they've chosen adults to play highschoolers? Now you might not be concerned with seeing a 16 year old having sex when you're thirteen but imagine any adult watching, that would be HELLA uncomfortable

I don’t think Robert Pattinson was happy with being cast as Edward either

The actor who plays Edward was also cast for Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter. Both are described to be very beautiful... *guess people think he’s pretty*

LavenderTowne: “And I think that’s why main characters are often boring” Me: **glances at my character with tan skin pale dark brown wavy hair, sea green and black hetrochromia eyes** Ah sh*t Taylor. Time to go back to the drawing board.

You killed me at “Hangry mode”.

I don't like Twilight, but I love the way that she drew Edward, he's my son now, I'm adopting him

"Not like an Arizona girl" *So she's not like other girls you say?*

I just like to pretend that this series was a fever dream or like a mass hysteria everyone went through-

This might be the anime nerd in me but I do like your rendition of Edward better, if we’re going off of ‘perfectly handsome the most beautiful person to ever exist’ it just sort of looks more accurate, like you said movie Edward has more of a rugged good look sort of handsomeness rather than like this really boyish super pretty handsome character

edward: looks at bella bella: looks at edward jacob: looks at own eyelid

I liked Twilight when i was younger, but as I got older and more into books I realised how bad the story-telling was at times and how stupid they tend to behave, but at this point I don't really care. It is what it is, but I unterstand why some people hate it

Robert Pattinson's face is very unique. In certain angles he looks like a goddamn marble statue, and in others he looks rough like he just fell home drunk and he still looks sexy even if he smells like beer.

Honestly I feel like The Outsiders would be a pretty good one to do this for! Going from the book, characters such as Sodapop, Dallas, and possibly Bob are drastically different in looks to their movie counterparts!

I don’t even like twilight, but Lavender has a tendency to make my least favorite things amazing

Wouldn't be surprised if this Edward showed up in a yaoi.

I’d fall in love with your version of Edward no cap he’s so pretty

I learned that Cedric and Edward has the same actor, witch quite surprises me because I don’t like Edward but I adore Cedric especially in the movies

I just realized my boyfriend fits Edwards description pretty well, except mine is diabetic instead of a vampire. Edit. It's my boyfriend's birthday today 💚 Edit. Boyfriend is now Fiance as of March 2021 Edit. Turns out he was just an emotional vampire instead

how is everyone so quick wtf

"Edward was supposed to be perfectly handsome" Bruh, have you SEEN Robert Pattinson? I definitely think Bella could have been cast better because Kristen Stewart has like two facial expressions in the entire movie. She's definitely not the most amazing Hollywood actor

The only trait I remember of Edward from the books was his crooked smile.

The Narnia Chronicles would be a great episode. The characters look SO different in the movie than in the book. They changed the ages of the characters and their descriptions. I believe Lucy and Edmund we’re both blonde in the books that C.S Lewis wrote.

"Robert pattison was Edward" Cedric: ...

Oh god, your version of Edward is in fact insanely hot especially when he‘s hangry hahah

Do Jurassic Park next pls. The characters' appearence are extremely different

Taylor Lautner was actually 15 when filming the first movie, shark boy and lava girl was just three years before the first twilight came out

I think if LavenderTowne ever did readings of audio books that I’d only ever listen to those forever. For some reason I’m just obsessed with her reading voice, it’s just so pleasant and perfect for cozying up to knit with some tea or a cold glass of milk.

Wait… Bella is 17 in the first movie while Jacob is 15, and is 18 when she gets married so Jacob 16, so why does Taylor Lautner have facial hair in Breaking Dawn??? Also it makes it less creepy if Taylor imprints on Renesmee at 16. That means as she grows up (and really quickly btw) they have a sibling like relationship

A really cool one to do would be Howl’s Moving Castle. The book is quite different from the movie.

The funny thing tho is that taylor lautner was actually 15 when they shot twilight

I’ve also learned: everyone except Bella is pretty and perfect. Except she is *BECAUSE*

Honestly I hated it because, well, it was basically reversed harem anime. Except no funny check and tongue humor. Just acting all brooding.

I can’t believe people hated Pattinson as Edward. His hatred for the entire series of movies is literally the one thing that makes them worth seeing

Her: *sketching out Edward* Me: *wheezing* im G A Y

i remember watching the movie first and i was like, "Eh, ok" and then i happened to just the first book in my high school library and the moment i read it was like, "Hold up there's something way too different about this-" needless to say despite watching the movie first i do like the book better

8:03 Ooooh so that was what that one episode in We Bare Bears was about. You know the one, with the silence ninjas and stuff in the theaters and Pan Pan.

Fun fact: Fifty shades of grey started as a Twilight fan fiction.

Me: I've never read or watched Twilight, and I never will. Also me: *c l i c k*

i’ve never read the book or watched the movie, i just came to hear your descriptions of the characters

Your Bella and Jacob are kinda perfect for me. I agree that 'perfect' Edward was open enough that everyone interpreted it differently.... I do remember seeing Stephanie Meyer sharing her 'dream picks' for Edward before any casting was confirmed for the movie, though some of them definitely were older-looking than Edward's high school persona. I don't know if that list still exists anywhere but it was interesting to see what the author wanted.

This has suddenly endeared me to Twilight... also when she mentioned Bella hiding her face in her hair when Edward glares at her just makes me immediately think of her her just flipping her hair into her face or her grabbing the hair around her face and just using their as a curtain, which I think is adorable lol

twilight fans: THIS CASTING-- Vampire fans: VEGETARIAN VAMPIRES WHO SPARKLE!! also Stephine meyer admitted to bella being a self-insert

I really like your twilight designs your art style just makes twilight better for me!

I think I just fell in love with a drawing i love the way you drew edward omg

Twilight was that one movie that my mom loved that I just couldn’t tell if I liked it or not. But there was one thing I knew for certain, *goddamn that movie had a great soundtrack*

Since Lav did Twilight the next logical step is “By the Book: Fifty Shades of Gray” right?

Your Edward is pretty close to how I imagined Edward, and I'm weirdly pleased about that.

You should do “The vampire Diares” I absolutely love the show ,but never read the books And maybe you should do “A series of Unfortunate Events” Wait “Twilght” was a movie ,I thought it was a show

Pattinson was better as Cedric. He was handsome, kind and lovable as Cedric. Edward just wasn’t the right role for him.

she says "that time in internet history" as if people don't still constantly dox twilight also considering people still say stuff like "still a better love story than twilight" pretty regularly.

He’s described/compared with feline/foxy traits or attributes a lot. Bronze/red hair, “long” eyes, crooked smile or smirk, but also like …a statue of Apollo or David or something. It’s really interesting. It’s hard for any actual real human to look anything like somebody who is meant to be so otherworldly.

I absolutely love how you drew Edward here and will forever love this version the best ♥

Me: sees the title ‘oh no there might be spoilers! ‘ Also me:probably knows that I’m never going to watch twilight

Challenge idea: A bunch of artists each read descriptions of characters from books and draw them, then are presented with how those characters are in the movie/show adaptations. They don't get to see the names of the characters and aren't told what shows/movies the characters are from. Then they get to see each other's representations of those characters. I'm currently writing books and one of my favourite things to do is give extracts describing the characters to some of my more artistic friends and seeing what they make of it. It's really fun to see the little differences that happen based on who's read the extract, and sometimes I'll remake the tone of it to see the differences. I've found that a humourous tone makes for more cartoonish characters, and that happier descriptions make characters more "pretty" (not just base attractiveness but how happy, gentle and clean they seem), while harsh tones make characters who look like they're about to get in a fight (either an evil grin or a serious face).

im watching all of the by the book videos in sequence, and its really neat to see your style mature and improve over the years with the kind of content you make

I like your fixing drawings of characters & how you reference from the book. Feels so nostalgic~

Seeing these depictions, I have a strange feeling that if the series had been animated as opposed to a live-action film, it would have received a wider reception and aged a lot better (examples of well-aged animation: sailor moon, any studio ghibli, hell most disney films)

LavenderTowne: Obviously he will be Shark Boy forever- Me: **spits out tea** ShReK bOy?!

Your voice is so calming in comparisment to other KZfaq channels.

I love your art style! And these videos are so fun

I’m gonna guess that the reason they styled Kristen’s hair to be a bit wavy was because it’s easier to film. With strait hair, you have to make sure it’s all in consistent placing with each shot, but not quite as much with lightly curled hair.

Im so early...quarantine is making us show up early.

Your voice is so calmly. I love it.

The City of Bones by Cassandra Clare is definitely worth a video from you!! I love your by the book series and can’t wait to watch more!!!!

The funny thing about this is that in the official authors guide they have artistic renditions of what the characters are supposed to look like
