     The setting/supernatural beings 

Vampires are actually...

...Humans infected with replicator/Asuran nanobots..

Think about it: Forks, Washington is exactly the sort of place you'd expect to find the little buggers running loose. It also explains why the "vampires" are so tough. That high-refractory index is what you get for having an epidermis of tiny metallic robots. That bloodlust they have to get over is a combination of their Asuran programming to kill and the nanobots using blood iron to replicate themselves.Their "venom" is fluid filled with nanobots, which explains why it can double for semen in a pinch: the nanobots can force a single egg into mitosis. The embryo (which is just a clone of the mother) is forced into rapid growth to facilitate the quicker production of human/Asuran hybrid soldiers.

...Human-Wraith hybrids.

Or something along those lines. Tough, of course, and some are telepathic. They have lost the ability to feed conventionally and must extract ATP directly from human tissue (of which blood is the easiest to get). Shiny skin? Perhaps bioluminecence was added either on purpose or as a side effect.

...Human-Time Lord hybrids.

Infected with a disease that causes a craving for blood, The Doctor landed on Earth, hid the TARDIS away, and used the Chameleon Arch so he wouldn't go rampaging around time and space drinking the blood of innocents. The disease reacted horribly with The Doctor's changed biology, altering him into something part human, part Time Lord, and part vampire. This new genetic makeup is passed on to everyone "Carlisle" infects, turning them into semi-Time Lords like Jenny. For now, "Carlisle" is content working as a human doctor and living with his "family"...but sooner or later, he's going to open that old fob watch of his. When he does, he'll realize what the cure for his "vampirism" must be and will be able to cure himself and all the Cullens. He'll then return to the TARDIS and go back to adventuring.

...an evolved form/species branch of Weeping Angels.

They've managed to get rid of the crippling can't-move-while-being-watched flaw a few billion years ago, though they still have statue-like characteristics even when moving in front of others. However, this came at the cost of some of their other abilities, and their subspecies had to find new ways to turn humans into themselves, since going through the eyes doesn’t work for them. Bella wasn't turned by Edward's bite, but by him entering emotionally into her life and her soul over time. (This also implies Carlisle lied about how he turned the other Cullens, presumably to keep their true nature a secret.)

...Other Parents and their victims.

They "collect" children by promising eternal life, beauty, love, and comfort (and they deliver it in spades). The difference between them and Coraline's Other Mother is they love their prey children back, and their eyes only turn red or gold rather than being replaced with buttons.

...Blood-addicted alien Siths.

They don't burn in the Sun, but their sparkles are some Midichlorian side-effect of exposure to our Sun. Bella’s instant love for Edward is the result of mind control. And their super-strength might be some sort of uncontrolled telekinesis. Also, their offspring with humans grow rapidly, and we never know if it's a result of the cross-breeding of these species or if it's some sort of Force-inducted growth.

...Anti-Morlocks.

As the trailer for the Wolverine movie shows, mutants are nigh-invulnerable, use super speed, and have diamond-like skin. It's just that the Twilight folks are extremely weak versions - the vampires are a bit sparkly while Emma Frost gets actual diamonds. They're rather like reverse-Morlocks - they're extremely beautiful but with relatively weak powers. Bella's powers don't manifest until her pregnancy, it's just coincidental they appeared after being bitten all over by her "vampire" husband.

...Trolls or Yeti.Being partially made of diamond, or at least a partially crystalline rock type, they can regulate their temperature enough to stay mobile during the day. This accounts for their cold temperature. However, they are not pure diamond or crystal, so not only are they not prone to shattering, but they also cannot keep their brain temperature low enough to have judgment better than the typical fanfiction character. They may also be yeti, but with a venom that turns a victim into another yeti, but without growing any diamond fur beyond that which is required to sparkle or affecting any hair already beyond the surface at the cost of their time-altering abilities.

...the result of an attempt at creating Homunculi.

The similarities are uncanny: they're immortal, they all have pale skin, they were humans at one time until they died, and they're almost impossible to kill. Plus, they all have some kind of superpower and are sterile. And when you think about it, you could attribute any number of the Seven Deadly Sins to a few of them: Edward is definitely guilty of Pride, Lust (for Bella), and Envy (towards Jacob) throughout the series.

...Petrosapiens from Ben 10.

They're very long-lived, they can regenerate, and they supposedly find humans a delicacy. They're also made of an organic diamond-like substance that sparkles in the sunlight. The reason the ones in the book look so human compared to the more alien Ben 10 appearance is because they used diamond-cutting tools to chisel themselves a human appearance so they would fit in better. Plastic surgery for living rocks. Obviously, after their planet was blown up, they all migrated to Earth.

...Chiropteran Chevaliers from Blood+.

...and Esme is their current Queen. The bad ones are controlled by the other Queen. The whole discussion isn't about Bella; she just have gotten in as a delicious future meal. (Diva herself considered younger and prettier people to be more delicious than older or ugly people, so...)

...whatever the hell Hancock and Blonde Girl are supposed to be.

Their "superpowers" are the traditional powers of vampires. Edward is attracted to Bella because he can't be with another of his kind for too long or he would lose his powers (as was the case in Hancock).

...Cyborgs, a la Ghost in the Shell or Battle Angel Alita.

They started out human but medical emergencies caused them to adopt completely artificial bodies. Their bodies are hard, cold, strong, and sparkly because it's made of plastic/carbon fiber/ceramic/etc. Their body fluids are extremely flammable because it's a mixture of fuel and lubricant. The bloodlust is due to the huge shock of no longer being "human" and because blood is the only thing their bodies can convert into fuel (they prefer humans because they're easier to lure). They appear to be supernaturally beautiful since they can enhance their faces and bodies to idealized forms.

  • The shapeshifters are mutants with only one mode, like the violet cavie-girl from Sky High (2005).

...A bastard bloodline altered by the True Fae.

  • The three original Volturi were ordinary vampires (likely Daeva or Ventrue) until they wandered into the Hedge and were experimented on by the True Fae. Fae magic gives the sparkle as well as protecting them from sunlight. The three Volturi got back from the hedge and sired their own bloodline. The catch is that the Fae magic in their blood randomly gifts their bloodline with special powers (i.e. Alice's clairvoyance, Edward's mind reading). Needless to say, they have to stay in the sunlight because the New World of Darkness has it out for their blood. The other vampire clans look on the Volturi bloodline as mincing fairy pets, the Changelings distrust them as tools of the Fae and the Hunters now have to deal with vampires immune to sunlight. How they've survived so long is a mystery but many scholars believe it has something to do with how they "escaped" the Hedge so easily...

...a Nosferatu offshoot.

...a hybrid of White Court and Red Court vampires.

  • They actually feed off a combination of blood and emotion. They have few of the weaknesses of either Court, but their strength is midway between that of White Court and Red Court Vampires.
    • This hybridization would make them Pink Court Vampires.
  • "Sparkling" in the sun is actually their innate magic attempting to repair damage to their "skinsuits" that Red Court members have, but they are not actually being harmed by sunlight and so it does not do anything but ground itself in the air, making them appear to "sparkle" slightly.
  • Bella's blood "smells good" to vampires because she has a very minor degree of magical talent, and vampires subliminally recognize the smell of a female practitioner's blood because they are appealing targets for vampires (since magical talent is matrilineal).

...Pillar Men.

They got the Stone Mask and the Red Stone of Aja a long time ago, and managed to tame the sun.

...Children of Shub-Niggurath

  • Shub-Niggurath is able to grant biological immortality to followers or sacrifices by ingesting them, and then giving birth to them. The catch is that the process transforms them into something unspeakable. Vampires have flesh made of stone, live off the blood of their fellow man, and are unable to advance mentally from the state they were in when turned.

...the vampires from Final Fantasy.

The vampires in the first Final Fantasy dazzle to stun their enemies, something Twilight vampires are shown to be capable of as well.

The Quileute werewolves/shapeshifters are...

...Animagi.

The backstory about the "spirit wolves" is the story of how the first wizards learned to become Animagi. Giant animals exist in the HP universe, so the size of their wolf forms is plausible. They claim to be werewolves to keep the true source of their ability, and the wizarding world in general, a secret. Jake and the others go to a wizardry school in La Push, conveniently away from the major cities. The only vampire who knows the truth is Alice, who became the Secret-Keeper in exchange for Divination lessons.

...the same breed of werewolf that appeared in the MST3K episode "Werewolf."

At least they're based on the same Native American legend. The yetiglanchi skeleton found in the film could be an ancestor of the Quiluete tribe, living in Arizona thanks to one of the United States government's many Indian relocation programs. A lucky gunman managed to shoot the yetiglanchi in mid transformation. The resulting skeleton, a bastardized hybrid of human and wolf DNA is the reason the resulting "wurwilfs" look nothing like the Quiluete's animal forms.

     Bella, Edward, and Jacob 

Bella Swan is...

...an RPG nerd having a fever dream.

So the first part of the books is actually happening (Bella moves in with Charlie to give Renee and her new partner space) but when she gets to school, the Cullens (all normal humans adopted by a human Carlisle and Esme) don’t sit apart because they’re untouchable paragons - they sit apart because they’re weird tabletop RPG nerds. Bella, a huge WOD fan, immediately zeroes in on the Cullens as new potential friends. Edward’s standoffishness was because he thought Bella was trying to make fun of him. After he realises she’s sincere, he invites her to their next Vampire: The Requiem night. The Cullens are all vampire characters (Edward’s probably a Daeva) and Bella creates a mortal character who discovers the vampires after Edward rescues her.

The werewolves are Jacob and his friends who got Bella into tabletop RPG, and Bella sometimes hangs out with them, playing Werewolf: The Forsaken and bringing her Cullen-created character to the game. Edward and Jacob don't like each other because they think the other is trying to steal Bella. The Volturi are the Cullens’ equally-nerdy friends, and play V:TR with them over Skype. (They’re all Ventrue.) Renesmee is an NPC Bella and Edward made up for a laugh.

The events of the series are just Bella coming down with a fever, blending together her friends and the RPG story they’re playing. All her dumb decisions were just a string of really bad mental attribute rolls. Once she recovers, everyone will laugh at her imagination and go on playing their WOD games.

...A vessel for a quantum-leaper.

This is based on the fact she asks "What year is it?" out of the blue when talking with her dad near the start of Twilight. It’s portrayed like she was talking about the van, but she’s actually asking about the current year.

...The Nostalgia Chick

After years spent around Doug, a schizophrenic whose Jekyll-and-Hyde/Gollum-like personalities change at the drop of a hat, HER mind snapped. Only, instead of developing split personality syndrome, she became delusional. She started hallucinating about a fantasy world of "vampires" and "werewolves". Notice how Bella has brown hair, a sort of chubby face, a dry tone of voice and a legion of admirers...JUST LIKE LINDSAY!

  • That's why she sounded distant in the Hocus Pocus review, she was immersed in her fantasy world (specifically, she was experiencing the events of New Moon). It’s also why Edward is sometimes a gentle lover and others an abusive asshole: he's Lindsay/Bella's version of Doug.

...A distant relative of Elizabeth Swann.

Both live in a version of the real world in which the supernatural exists and Kristen Stewart looks somewhat like Keira Knightley. Bella can't be a direct descendant since, as a woman, Elizabeth wouldn't be able to pass on her surname. (We know she eventually becomes Elizabeth Turner.) Instead, Bella is descended from a male relative of Elizabeth. Sure, they spell their last name differently, but names can change over a period of two hundred years.

...Beleth, the Demon Princess of Nightmares from the RPG In Nomine

The modern romanticisation of vampires has created Edward, a powerful Ethereal (dream-being). Beleth wants to get him on her side. Edward is going to get quite a surprise when he find out...

...A Hollow.

She died of heartbreak after Edward left in the 2nd book, and the blank parts are when she's in Hueco Mundo. When she "returns", she plans on eating all of the humans and "Bounts" she can get her claws on.

  • ... Halibella?
    • I don't think she'd alter her appearance that much (large breasts aside).
    • I dunno... the more I think about it, the more it makes a twisted sort of sense. Bella has complained more than once about being a plain Eerie Pale-Skinned Brunette. Halibel is a dark-skinned blonde with a figure that could stop traffic, clearly what Bella has always secretly wanted to be, and it might make a certain sense if her soul looked more like her idealized image rather than what she actually looks like. Further, Halibel's Zanpakuto uses water as a weapon; Bella hates rain. As a Hollow, she uses something she despises to inflict her suffering on others. And of course, when the big fight started, Halibel went right for Hitsugaya... who is pale, ice-cold, and has hordes of fangirls. She's clearly trying to kill him because he reminds her of Edward, who she ate along with the rest of his Bount clan when she became a Hollow.
  • This makes so much sense, given that from that point on in the book, she constantly talks about there being a "hole" in her chest...
  • Interesting: The Espadas are supposed to be AnthropomorphicPersonifications for how people die, and Halibel's was Heroic Sacrifice. From what little I've read I got the impression that, had she never met the Cullens and remained human, Bella's way of death would've been caused by being Too Dumb to Live: she's a Cute Clumsy Girl; somebody mentions she moves from arid Arizona to cool and damp Washington and all she brings is a cactus and a jacket, and she certainly isn't going to sacrefice herself for her oblivious, shallow parents or those people she dosen't interact with much at school.
    • Unless we interpret 'sacrifice' as 'making other people sacrifice themselves for her'. Both of her major love interests have threatened suicide over her, as I recall. And in a more general sense, most people do seem to fall all over themselves in an effort to make her life better.
  • I gotta be honest, I got it from here (just past Mola Ram). Given that the author is (I think) a 30-something-year-old woman I don't think it's a deliberate Bleach reference.
    • Shhhhh, we're having fun.
  • She screams and cries so much in the movie, you'd think she was undergoing the last stages of soul chain consumption.

...An entity similar to Haruhi Suzumiya.

Before you burn me at the stake let me explain this one. Both Bella and Haruhi have no interest in normal humans, preferring to seek out Time Travelers, Aliens and Espers or Vampires and Werewolves respectively. Both of them after having a conversation with a boy (Kyon and Edward) at their school it soon becomes apparent to that boy that the universe seems to revolve around the girl (for Kyon it was a little more literal). So it stands to reason that Bella created the vampires and the werewolves of her verse to indulge her fantasies similar to Haruhi's creation of Time Travelers, Aliens and Espers. Due the equivalent of Kyon being one of their own, the more aggressive vampires and werewolves who what to poke God and see what happens have to attack her directly.

  • or maybe she actually is Haruhi, in an alternate reality that is.
    • She got bored with her life in Japan as an "ordinary" school girl, so she created another alternate reality with Vampires and were- i mean shapeshifters.
      • The real reason why werewolves/shape-shifters were created was because Bella/Haruhi got bored after Edward left and wanted more supernatural people.
      • It would also allow for her to be at the center of a supernatural Love Triangle

...the grandchild of Anveena from Warcraft and "Gary" from Yu-Gi-Oh The Other Abridged Movie.

Everything is a dream Korialstraz created to keep her busy while he tried to figure out how he could destroy her

...River Tam...

The whole series is a nightmare she's having. Vampires represent the Alliance- physically beautiful and sparkling with wealth, but cold, hard, and dangerous. Edward in particular is the Academy, desiring her life and obsessing over her. Bella has no personality outside of Edward because the doctors essentially created River's personality as we know it. The wedding and transformation signify her worst fears coming true: she pledges herself to the Alliance and becomes one of them. Renesmee represents the carnage the government would use her to create.

...Her own Grandma...

Bella got sent back in time and, in order to start a new life, changed her name to Pearl. Unfortunately, one side affect of the time traveling was that it took away her immortality and she started aging again. Stuff happened, she married her grandpa and procreated, and then her children gave birth to Bella. This all explains why her mind can't be read, she's just lacking the delta brainwave.

  • Bella is closely related to Phillip J. Fry. Fry's mind cannot be read because of a certain time travel incident, so it makes sense for Bella, who's also immune to mind-reading, to be related to him. Plus, people related to Fry tend to be a Weirdness Magnet.
  • She would have to be the twin sister of Fry's father— Fry's aunt/daughter.
  • The Nibblonians are the reason why Bella became a vampire - she's a back-up in case Fry fails. Being ageless means she'll survive the next thousand years until the Brainspawn invasion.

...a Fetch, and Twilight is set in Changeling: The Lost.

The REAL Bella Swan was stolen away by the Fae when she was a young child. The Fetch left in her place was a shallow but idealistic that, while not a sociopath like many other Fetches, lacked a distinct sense of self-preservation provided she had something to attached herself to; this being a result of a deeply buried awareness of her nature, thus compelling her to attach herself to someone larger than life to make herself feel more 'real'.

Hence her reckless need to have Edward around. When he was there, she felt like a real person. When he disappeared, she went nearly mad because she didn't have that hint of humanity anymore, and without it or anything to replace it, she was growing constantly closer to realizing just what she was. Jacob filled that void for a bit, but she was already attached to Edward. Hence her odd idealization of 'true love'; it's not real love or even infatuation or anything HUMAN; a True Fae's idea of what love is, implanted in her consciousness.

Also, the reason Edward can't read her mind? Edward reads HUMAN minds. Bella is a incredibly convincing simulacrum placed by an Eldritch Abomination that stole away the REAL Bella Swan; he simply can't read her mind, and he's never met a Fetch until now.

This begs the question; could the REAL Bella escape Arcadia, and if so, what will she do when she finds what the Fae left behind? More likely than not, Real!Bella will be of the Fairest Seeming. Or, for irony's sake...the Ogre Seeming.

... Bela Talbot.

Tying into the "Bella is sick and using Edward to live" theory on the main WMG page, Bel/l/a is trying to avoid her approaching death and eternal damnation due to her Deal with the Devil by manipulating Edward into changing her into a super-strong, Nigh-Invulnerable vampire to protect herself from getting killed by hellhounds and/or demons.

...A Marauder

The "vampires" and "werewolves" are actually Hobgoblins the severely depressed and inferior-feeling Bella, having Awakened far, far before she was ready and terribly lonely and abused. She created Edward, the Cullens, and later Jacob (based off the real Jacob Black, who simply moved away after befriending her and likely has no idea this is happening) and the werewolves out of a desperate need for friends who were even more special than the popular kids who psychologically tortured her into insanity. In reality, Bella's clumsiness is a sign of terrible medical problems with coordination that pretty much everyone in school mocks, because Teens Are Monsters. Charlie actually moved to help find a not-crap school, but unknowingly failed, which is what provoked Bella's Quiet and the creation of the "supernatural elements". The infamous "blank pages" were actually her getting better for a bit when Edward helped her out of her depression, only for her to relapse when her Reality Warper Power Born of Madness wore off and she was again bullied for her inability to control her limbs, which caused her to finally lose the battle for her sanity and spiral into complete reality-altering delusion. Her "becoming a vampire" was actually her finally being shunted into her personal realm in the Umbra, where she, perhaps, can finally be happy.

Edward Cullen is:

...Cedric Diggory.

Harry Potter takes place in the nineties, and Twilight is in the 2000s, so the timeline works out. Edward enrolled at Hogwarts as a transfer student (since there’s no way he could pass as eleven) and was sorted into Hufflepuff. Twilight-style vampires are secret even from wizards (the vampires known to exist in the HP-verse are a different subspecies), so when someone at Hogwarts found out his secret, he used his “death” at the end of the Tournament as an excuse to go into hiding. Cho would've been in Bella's place had this not happened. Also, notice how it seemed to be perpetually foggy at Hogwarts during the whole tournament.

  • Edward/Cedric isn’t the only HP-style wizard in Forks. Angela is a witch who’s homeschooled by her parents rather than attending a wizarding school (as has been said to happen), and uses Occlumency to hide her secret from Edward, not knowing that he already knows about the wizarding world. Gives new meaning to Bella’s comment that, if Angela were a witch, she’d also be welcomed to her freaky circle of loved ones.

Alternatively, Cedric Diggory was Edward’s real identity, he just doesn’t know it. When he was “killed” in the graveyard, he actually became a vampire, and his memories were altered (either via Memory Charm or a vampire with the power to edit memories) to make him believe he was Edward Cullen and had been a vampire for decades.

  • There is a vampire with the power to mess with memories... and it's Carlisle. He’s building an army to overthrow the Volturi and take over the world, and figured a talented wizard like Cedric would make the perfect addition.

...An aspect of Nyarlathotep.This one goes along with the first entry. Edward is constantly described as being so beautiful that words on the printed page can't possibly do him justice. Printed words also fail to describe the mind-shattering horror of Nyarlathotep and his ilk.

  • In Nyarlathotep's first appearance, he takes an almost-human form and drives the increasingly unreliable narrator into madness as one of his unquestioning followers. If this is what’s happening in Twilight, then the events of the series as told by Bella are increasingly skewed as “Edward”’s influence on her mind grows.
  • Renesmee, meanwhile, is one on the Million Favored Ones.

... Pietro de Bloodeau I in an Alternate Universe.It'd mean that Pete (Who's Pietro de Bloodeau II), who's a canon half-vampire, would be the AU, gender-swapped version of Renesmee.

... Captain Planet.
Captain Planet sparkles. Edward sparkles. Nuff said.

...descended from Liam of Galway.
Apparently, self-loathing and stalking are just as inheritable traits as an angular[sic, not Rouge Angles of Satin] prettyboy face. Carlisle is from Angelus' (or at least The Master's) line, with a good deal of age and some magical enhancement (perhaps the "venom" is a form of the Hearthrob potion, or a less versatile, Red Water version of the Gem of Amarra), hence their family's and the Volturi's resistance to sunlight (Carlisle may have been doing some vampiric geneological research and met Spike, hence the hairstyle).

  • You could claim then that there is a whole line of emo vampires from all of wich Edward descended. He has more of Louis de Pointe du Lac, than from Liam IMO, so it could be a whole line descended from the original tortured emo vampire...Varney maybe?

Edward is ____ and Bella is ____

Edward is a vampire with a soul, and Bella is a Slayer.

All of the Cullens have souls, and the other vampires behave like vampires because they don't have souls.

  • Bella is a Slayer, and Edward is attracted to her because vampires with souls are naturally attracted to Slayers.
  • There's a Hellmouth in Forks. It would explain the presence of vampires, werewolves, and other oddities. In fact, the Cullens were originally cursed with souls by someone from the Quileute tribe when they first encountered them back in the 1930s, and that’s why they know so much about them today.
  • Leah Clearwater is a Slayer. C'mon, one wolf-girl in all the pack? Her bloodline got mixed with her Calling and activated the wolf blood. Explains why she's wisecracking and bitter, never gets over her hatred for the Cullens - all vampires, and is easily the most badass female character in the series.
  • Maybe vampires with souls are immune to the weaknesses (how many times has Angel been impaled in the heart/been near sunlight/been near a cross? And he's STILL "alive").
    • Also, the killings in New Moon are apparently caused by a newborn in Seattle.

Edward is Heathcliff and Bella is Catherine Earnshaw.

Edward and Heathcliff are both abusive lovers, and Bella and Catherine are slavishly devoted to their abusers. It also explains Bella's obsession with Wuthering Heights itself.

Using a hypothesis such as the Thursday Next BookWorld, Heathcliff and Cathy could have replaced Edward and Bella while the book was being constructed. This explains why Stephenie Meyer swears that the Edward she created is the perfect boyfriend, but the Edward who ended up in the published books is an abusive jerk.

Edward is The Joker, and Bella is Harley Quinn...

...in a High School AU where one of them also happens to be a vampire. Think about it a seemingly normal girl becomes obsessed with a pale-skinned Serial Killer. She claims to love him wholeheartedly, despite his constant abuse of her and insane moodswings. One day he dumps her, and she becomes morbidly depressed until she makes a new "best friend." She and said best friend have a good deal of sexual tension together, and if they hooked up the relationship would be at least slightly more healthy, but like it or not the girl will always go back to Mr. Pale Skin. What am I describing, the plots of "Mad Love" and "Harley and Ivy", or "Twilight" and "New Moon"?

Edward is Tom and Bella is Jerry

Jacob is a wolf, which is basically a dog, and we all know dogs hate cats, and Jacob hates Edward. Going by that logic, Edward is a cat. Now who is one of the most famous cats in the world? Tom from Tom and Jerry.Furthermore, Bella's surname is Swan, swans lay eggs, owls lay eggs, owls eat mice. And who is a famous mouse? Oh yes, Jerry, from Tom and Jerry. Therefore, Edward is Tom, and Bella is Jerry. And the whole romance thing? Just a plot by both Jacob and Tomward to eat Belljerry.

Jacob Black is:

...A reincarnation of Koga.

He's a wolf who thinks his rival smells bad and who is after a girl who doesn't like him back.

...The son of Sirius Black and Remus Lupin.

He is a werewolf like Lupin, and his last name is Black. Enough said.

  • How are two white men supposed to father a Native American?
    • Clearly, Remus bit him. (Or is it just fanon that Potterverse werewolves cannot reproduce sexually?)
      • That would be fanon, remember he had a son with Tonks? Maybe Jacob is Sirius' love child and out of jealousy Remus bit Jacob, and then the kid... somehow... wound up in Washington...
      • He had a kid, right, but Teddy Lupin is not a werewolf. So you still should be biten by a werewolf to became one, and a kid of werewolf (unless bitten) would be human. In Potterverse lycanthropy is more like a disease rather than a different species.

     The series as a whole 

The series takes place in the Nexus of Joy or the holodeck.

Either place can facilitate someone's "original" wish-fulfillment fantasy, and this is but one of many.

Twilight is set in a Bizarro Universe of The World of Darkness.'''

And Alice is a Changeling. She's described as "pixie-like" and has extraordinary abilities that could be magic. Also, in the Old World of Darkness, Changeling blood is incredibly addictive but causes insanity, which could explain why James was so interested in her blood when he encountered her as a human in her backstory.

The books are propaganda in the Being Human universe.

They were written by either Herrick or one of his followers to help get more recruits to their cause and to convince people that vampires are better than humans.

The characters of Twilight parallel those from The Phantom of the Opera.

  • Edward is Erik: he's clingy, jealous, and utterly obsessed with Bella. Like Erik, he stalks his protagonist. Like Erik, he has Single-Target Sexuality. Like Erik, he has never loved before his target. They both find their voices seduce the woman they want. They even both have gold eyes. Both kill for their protagonist. Also, they are both separated from society due to their physical appearance and lack of ability to communicate with "normal" people. Both distance themselves from everyone but the protagonist/love interest and live in darkness. Both are aware that the protagonist should be terrified of them. Also, both are likened to corpses! Erik is physically likened, whereas Edward is constantly remarked as cold, and, well, he's technically a living corpse. Both were rescued from near-death by another character. Both are impressive at everything they do and possess a certain trait notable to that character that link directly to their attraction to the protagonist: Composing and hearing thoughts.
  • Jacob is Raoul: Childhood friend who the girl hasn't seen in years, but falls in love when they start to hang out more, tells his protagonist to get the heck away from her psychotic boyfriend/stalker and generally seeks to protect her from everything. Likewise, they both are more capable of getting on the protagonists' nerves than the stalker. Raoul for eavesdropping, and Jacob for the forced kiss/being clingy. Both are build in stark contrast to the stalker, and are portrayed as more noble.
  • Bella is Christine: She has (at least) two guys who are dead serious about getting her to come to them. She's got dark hair and pale skin, like her stage and film adaptions. There's a certain feature about her that draws in her stalker (Christine's Voice and Bella's closed mind). They both are very good at being the Damsel in Distress, often because of the stalker. Both have a strange obsession with their stalker. Both feel torn between their two loves, and have a disconnection with the "normal" world. Both toy with the feelings of their suitors.
  • Jessica is Carlotta: Jessica is a popular, selfish character (apparently). She thinks little of everyone else, and thinks highly of herself (if Midnight Sun is anything to go on). She's also a bit of an attention whore, and is jealous of the protagonist.
    • Alternatively, Rosalie is Carlotta: Jealous, selfish, bitchy, huge attention whore, wants what the protagonist has.
  • Angela is Meg: The mortal character who Bella hates the least. She's kind, meek, and fair. She worries about Bella.
    • Alternatively, Alice is Meg: Bella's best friend, bubbly, sweet, fair, and kind. She also worries for the safety of her friend and cares about her.
  • Carlisle is Madame Giry: he's the one who saves Edward from certain doom, just like how the Madame saves Erik from a lifetime of torment. He takes Edward under his wing and takes care of everyone else, like how the Madame watches over the other dancers.

Twilight was inspired by Disco Pigs.

It’s an obsessive love story between two teens that throws their lives into disarray, where the boy is overprotective of the girl and the parents are oblivious. What’s more, Disco Pigs came out in 2001, perfect timing for Stephenie Meyer to have watched it before she had the dream that inspired Twilight.

Twilight is a spinoff of The Ketchup Vampires

The Ketchup Vampires is a German cartoon series about a family of vegetarian vampires who resist their thirst for human blood by drinking far more nutritious tomato juice instead. The family's Loner son falls for human girl Bella, and pursues a relationship with her.

Twilight takes place in the same universe as Vampirates.

Life and Death: Twilight Reimagined isn't Twilight, it's Legend of Korra

I was doodling what "Edythe" Cullen and "Julie" Black would look like and came to a startling conclusion: "Edythe" is described as pale, petite, intelligent, and mysterious; add to that rich, unusual bright eyes, kind but mysterious parents, and expensive but conservative fashion sense and you've got someone who sounds a lot like Asami. I haven't read "Julie"'s description but I'm going to guess she is (or would be if Meyer rewrote the rest of the books) a lot like Korra (or Leah): tall, tanned, buff, aggressive, honest, awkward, poor (relatively speaking), with straight dark hair. Add in the people who'd prefer an Edward/Jacob romance and you've got a crossover!

"Forks" is really Springfield.

Think about it. The weather can change completely between chapters, just as it does between Simpsons episodes. Edward and his siblings are forever at high school, just as Bart and Lisa are at elementary. The fact that Bella is the only child of a police officer would make her Ralph Wiggum.

     Other/general 

Carlisle is Gilderoy Lockhart

He escaped from St Mungo's and changed his name. Unfortunately he still had a demented pull towards hospitals as they were the only places he remembered. The real reason they move every few years is he has a habit of accidentally removing the bones from left arms every now and again...

  • So why is he not incompetent?
    • Lockheart was only incompetent with magic. We've never seen him in the the muggle world.

Charlie Swan is Barricade.

More specifically, "Charlie" is his Holomatter avatar; the cop car itself is Barricade. He’s hiding out in Forks after Megatron's defeat, because he knows all the town’s weird supernatural goings-on will cover up his own evil alien robot activities.

Charlie Swan is actually Eddie Blake.

The Twilight 'verse has merely broken off at a different point in the timeline (and nudged forward a couple years), and Eddie has taken up a more wholesome line of work for the sake of his out-of-wedlock daughter. This is also why he's so set on being sure that Bella and Edward are being safe and taking things slow.

Renesmee is actually a spawn of Yog-Sothoth.

She's a Creepy Child who ages abnormally quickly. Bella blacked out during her conception. Sex with an Eldritch Abomination will probably do that.

  • Yog-Sothoth was using Edward as a vessel for the conception so that the child would be more hardy than the last one, which, while making Renesmee less of an overt "abomination" than her half-brothers in Lovecraft's stories, allowed her to inherit a supernatural gift of her own from Bella and Edward so that she could more easily complete Yog's plan.

Mike Newton is Jack O'Neill's clone

Forks, Washington is exactly the kind of place you'd expect to find O'Neill's clone. Whether or not Mike knows there are replicators (see the above WMG) in his school is anyone's guess.

  • Why do you think he's there in the first place? The "vampires" are actually part of a long-term replicator invasion of Earth. The only reason he hasn't called down SGC to annihilate this colony is that he's studying them for potential weaknesses, and/or monitoring the werewolves, who are a sleeper resistance movement planted by the Ancients after Ascending.

Angela was an undercover Auror

She had been stationed in Forks due several reports sent to the American Ministry of Magic regarding the apparent use of the Imperio spell. Being muggle-born and young, she had no problem blending in with the high school students. The whole time, she was monitoring the Cullens, reluctant to believe that they were, in fact, vampires. Edward, especially, with his brooding tendencies and throng of female devotees, had the potential to be a dark wizard. She became close to Bella in order to keep close tabs on him. By the events of Breaking Dawn, however, she realizes that the Cullens are nothing more than a mutation of the traditional vampire. She packs up to go home, but decides to attend Bella's wedding, because she really is a nice witch. At the wedding, she quickly uses Legilimency to see if anyone there was hiding some knowledge about the magical world. As she reaches Bella, she finds the bride's statement from the last book: "And Angela could be a witch for all I care!" Angela, fearing she has put the Wizarding World in danger, promptly Obliviates everyone in Forks and goes back to the Ministry, where she files the entire case as "Not a threat”.

Lauren is really Angelique Bouchard.

She's blonde, attractive, snobby, and hates Bella. She also seems to randomly disappear from the series, never to be mentioned again. After getting tired of life in Collinsport, she heard about vampires in Forks and decided to investigate (hoping, perhaps, to encounter Barnabas). Upon arriving, she realized that these were not, in fact, the same kind of vampires, hung around for a year or so just for fun, and finally left in disgust.

Jay Gatsby was a werewolf who imprinted on Daisy

Gatsby's obsession with Daisy shows many of the signs of imprinting. Alternatively, he might have instead imprinted on her daughter.

  • Additionally, the "bright and shiny" Daisy is a vampire. She's rich, pale, blonde, nigh-unaccessible - she's practically a Cullen, as is Jordan. Then, would "rough and brutish" Tom also be a werewolf, and nearly-The Faceless Nick is the lone sane human?
    • It's clear that Gatsby (and Daisy) try to acknowledge Pammy's existence as little as possible, which either means that No, Gatsby won't imprint on Pammy or Yes he could, and Daisy's trying to hide Pammy from him either for Pammy's safety or because of jealousy: Daisy fears that a "genuinely bright" (as in interesting, not smart) girl will come to one of Gatsby's parties and steal him.
  • So would this make Wilson an (accidental...?) werewolf hunter?

Benjamin was the Avatar in this particular cycle.

He’s capable of controlling all four classical elements, and is the only known character in the Twilight universe to have this ability. Why? Because he’s the Avatar.

Carlisle is Muraki

  • True, Carlisle may seem tranquil, gentle and affable, but Muraki himself is damn good at seeming altruistic and harmless. He's perhaps an alternate universe variation, and is utilising the other Cullen "children" as minions and pawns. He may also have designs on Bella, who is clearly mentally ill and in a state to be manipulated, but still valuable in some way, similarly to the first entry on this page that posits that Edward is manipulating Bella as The Chessmaster. The vampire thing and all the teenage boys are another squicky incarnation of Muraki's thing for blood. (Bella’s "entry" into vampirehood is symbolic of whatever she'd wanted being taken from her, and her reduction to the rank of just another pretty minion. The thing that Carlisle had wanted from her might possibly be be her child— Renesmee. Who is not, in fact, a vampire, but otherwise useful or gifted.)

Carlisle is related to another eccentric doctor.

He does like his friends pretty...
