Web Video / The Twilight Chronicles

Go To

A Youtube series created by a group of Canadian high school students. The series is a more sexually disturbing take on Twilight, reworking characters and plots from the original series. The show has an extremely campy tone, notable for Vulgar Humor and for it's Soap Opera-like Love Dodecahedron story.

The series doesn't have a main character, instead splitting the focus between four leads:

Other, less major characters include:

  • Starry the Star, a pedophilic plush toy star, who's been hinted to be manipulating events behind the scenes.
  • Little Boy, a random little boy (played by Gen Borg's little brother) who exists mainly to be the butt of Starry's pedophile jokes.
  • Satan, the devil himself, who wants a little boy for reasons probably better left un-probed; he forces Bella to bring him one or he will revoke her portal powers.
  • Victoria, a "glamorous" prostitute from Mexico, who shows up briefly and appears to be a complete nympho who likes dogs.
  • Carlisle Cullen, Edward's father. He and Edward's Mother are apparently Happily Married. Showed up first in Edward's dream sequence, then in the real world.

The series has produced nine episodes to date, with a tenth and possibly eleventh set to air sometime soon.


This series provides examples of:

  • And Starring - "and Gen Borg as Jacob" in Episodes 4-5. Jamie Kathleen is credited with "and" in Episode 8.
  • Back from the Dead: Bella's vagina is a portal to Hell, and when she's in Hell, it's a portal to Earth. Essentially, she cannot be killed. She's come back from the dead three times now.
    • Played straight with Edward's Mom, who was killed off in Episode 2 and remained absent for several episodes, coming back in Episode 6.
  • Bury Your Gays: Inverted. Edward and Jacob, the show's only gay/bi characters, are the only ones who haven't died or gone to Hell.
  • Children Are Innocent: Horribly, horribly subverted when a little boy announces he slept with Edward Cullen.
  • Deal with the Devil - Bella literally made one with Satan. If she doesn't bring him a little boy, he'll revoke her portal powers permanently, meaning that she cannot return from the dead.
    • Edward's Mom made one of these with Bella so she would let her return to Earth. The conditions have yet to be revealed.
  • Does This Remind You of Anything?: Starry is a pedophile who speaks in a hushed falsetto and ends most of his sentences with "Hee hee!"
  • Evolving Credits - New opening credits are shot for every episode, and, unusually, include guest stars for that episode, invariably credited as "Special Guest Star".
  • Fake Memories: Starry gives false memories to Jacob (although exactly how he did this is unknown) causing him to remember an orgy that never happened, casting doubt on the father of Edward's baby.
  • Idiosyncratic Episode Naming - Several episodes are titled after Ke$ha songs.
  • Implied Love Interest - Carlisle and Victoria. Carlisle mentions that they slept together... in a dream sequence. It's not clear what their relationship is in the real world.
  • Love Dodecahedron - Let's break it down. Edward and Jacob were dating, but Edward slept with Starry and his mother, causing Jacob to break up with him. Jacob started dating Edward's Mom, but she died. Victoria, who may be dating Carlisle in Mexico, shows up and hits on Jacob and Edward, settles for Jacob's dog, and leaves. Edward's Mom comes back to life, and she and Jacob get back together. Carlisle shows up and Edward's Mom gets together with her, but Carlisle is cheating on her with Bella. Whew.
  • Musical Episode - Episode 7, or at least it was supposed to be. Edward's musical number was overdubbed with the actual song to cover for his off-key singing, and Bella's was just dancing.
  • Put on a Bus: Edward's Mom was simply written out of Episode 3 due to her unavailability, but Episode 4 killed her off for real. She returned from the dead in Episode 6.
  • Two Lines, No Waiting: The A Plot is usually Edward and Jacob, sometimes with Edward's Mom and the B Plot is usually Bella.
