00:00Kristen Stewart is my hero, my inspiration, my icon.
00:04I am so happy that I can finally say I love Twilight starring Oscar nominee Kristen Stewart.
00:12I would definitely touch mouths with her.
00:23Are you aware of what a Crispian is?
00:26Yeah, yeah, I can't lie about that. I totally can't lie about that.
00:30Okay.
00:31Yeah, oh my god, yeah.
00:32A Crispian is a Kristen Stewart stan, oftentimes a lesbian.
00:37The Kristen Stewart fandom is a safe space, I will say that.
00:41I think a lot of people were against the Kristen Stewart hive, but you know, nevertheless we persisted.
00:46Kristen Stewart has always been a talented actress. Um, anybody seen Panic Room?
00:52She's just f***ing cool, or I can't say f***ing sorry. She's just very cool.
01:08I'm like so gay, dude.
01:10Kristen Stewart hive is just like cool queer people who like love a underdog.
01:16I felt like her coming out aligned with a lot of my coming out as a queer person.
01:21So that's probably like the root of why she means so much to me.
01:25And her come out journey and how that's shifted from Twilight to now.
01:29That's watching her play more queer roles.
01:31That's watching her be more comfortable with her relationships and more public and forthcoming about them.
01:43Did you have any idea the film was going to be this huge?
01:45No, I had no idea.
01:51There was so much media hype around them.
02:07Like all of a sudden it was like Kristen and Rob everywhere.
02:09The Entertainment Weekly covers just cemented like that was for bisexuals, that those covers were just iconic.
02:17And I think that all the hype around them just further created more of a stand base for people to love Kristen and sometimes conflated Kristen with Bella.
02:33The hype around her that was always fair and warranted because she's talented only increased because she was so offline and so disinterested in engaging with not necessarily her fans.
02:44She's actually really nice to her fans, but uninterested in engaging with media.
02:48If you don't have an answer to a question, don't answer it because then you'll say stuff that you don't mean.
02:53And I've done that. I've like tried to like formulate these answers.
02:56It's like, oh, it's like just say you don't know.
02:58No is also a complete sentence.
03:15To celebrate one million followers, we are releasing Twilight, the NSFW cut.
03:24Gen Z and some new millennials are earnestly devouring Twilight in this way that like started as like a meme, but very much is sincere.
03:44It's interesting watching Twilight have a renaissance so far from when it premiered because it's not like there's new movies.
03:50It's not like there's new content.
03:52It's just a testament to its like everlasting power and influence in this this time right now.
03:58Like we need that kind of levity and that kind of like absurdity that Twilight provides in a way that's so comforting and nurturing.
04:04What if I'm not the hero?
04:06What if I'm the bad guy?
04:09So words to live by.
04:14Twilight, the NSFW cut.
