i want him

[theplatinumcritter]

I think there should be a scene with Yuu being attacked by OB Malleus and it's a scene very similar to the one in 90s Sailor Moon with Neherenia

Neherenia chokes Usagi while all Usagi has to say is sorry. She's sorry Neherenia had such a lonely life. Neherenia telling her to stop looking at her with such compassion cause she can't handle it.

Can you imagine that. Yuu being sorry Malleus was so lonely,being sorry he had to be so terrified of being left alone again,being sorry they failed to take Malleus' feelings into account when saying maybe a way to return home was found.

And Malleus can't understand why even at this moment,the Child of Man keeps treating him like an actual person.

#listen #as things are said in the game #Yuu has forgiven a lot #Idia went really god damn far and even he was given forgiveness in the end #I think it's not hard to believe Malleus can get it too #Like he's going really damn far but c'mon #malleus draconia #twisted wonderland malleus #twst malleus #twisted wonderland yuu #twisted wonderland mc #twst yuu #twst mc #twisted wonderland #twst book 7

A Tempest of Tea

first in a YA fantasy duology

follows a young immigrant woman in a fantasy Victorian city who runs a tearoom that doubles as an illegal bloodhouse for vampires at night

when their business is threatened, she gets a chance to save it by teaming up with her best friend, a rich girl with a talent for forgery, a vampire artist, and a mysterious city guard to do a heist to infiltrate high society and collect a logbook that may reveal the extent of the corruption in the city

fantasy city with a masked ruler, arthurian elements, themes of colonialism

#a tempest of tea #aroaessidhe 2024 reads #This has a really cool concept and worldbuilding and some fantastic characters! #I like the discussion of immigration and colonialism (I appreciate a story in this niche that’s not so white) #I like arthie and jin’s relationship and Arthie is a great character. #It definitely feels like the first half of a story - like is the arthurian stuff gonna come up more or is it just... #the mc is called arthie and has a gun she pulled out of a stone.

Have you ever seen the show You on Netflix? I'm watching the pilot right bow and all i can think is "yander jade yandere jade yandere jade" cause some of the shit Joe Goldberg says? "Sometimes the most valuable things are the most helpless" "people are just so. Disappointing" like?? Jade??? Bro is that you in some sick obsessed alternate timeline???? The calm insanity of these two characters just. Overlap. I usually don't fuck with yanderes but i can weirdly see this?

I do not actually have a netflix subscription so I have not. But I do know a little bit about what you are referring to because it's based off of a book I watched a lot of reviews for *checks youtube* five fucking years ago???? (O_O;)

I like yandere stuff to an extent. I'm not crazy about the ones that like hurting their darlings. One or two murder attempts is fine, I can be more lenient if they're like enemies on the opposing sides of a war but wanting to torture someone is a bit much. Also not a huge fan of ones who jump from darling to darling, thought those can be fun as villains. As for yandere Jade（｀∀´ハ|

>"Sometimes the most valuable things are the most helpless"

Jade mentions he likes making terrariums because of the story of the Sea Witch trapping creatures in them. Maybe he could trap Yuu in a terrarium? Oh that would be so cute, he would make it so perfect they'd just love it.

>"people are just so. Disappointing"

Jade says he found Yuu boring at first, but that's not how he thinks about them now >:] He finds a lot of people not worth his time until they do something he deems exciting, so when he decides Yuu is exciting... well he can be a bit obsessed. As a treat. He already has all the magicam information including the stuff attached to the private accounts of all the Octavinelle freshmen... he might see cracking into what make Yuu ticks since they have no digital footprint as a challenge! How exciting and unpredictable just the way he likes it.

Good day, Cozy! Hope you’re doing alright <3 Random question comin’ to ya~!

Do you have any backlogged fanart / wip that you’re especially proud of, even if it’s old or unfinished?

HHNNggHHHHGhhHh weLL… mind i have like 200+ things of backlogged fanart i never posted 🤪 (and might never cuz they are old). The only things i probably still like is this big ass set of drawing twst boys in the style of my private original art and characters I never publicly show 😩😩 Mostly just for personal fun. PROBABLY ONE OF THE FEW BACKLOGGED THINGS I STILL LIKE?? even if just toying around (click for better resolutions)

the Diasomnia one was made first lol, malleus specifically. these weren’t really meant to ever be seen outside of a small group so *gestures* here they are

#cozy ask #my art #twisted wonderland #EXTREMELY THOUGHTFUL QUESTION BTW SO THANK YOU #I think the is the first time i ever really uh sHOWED my raw art style lmfao #i guess you can kinda see the amalgation of influences suddenly mingling #there’s things that twsts look does already that i’ve already been doing on my own time so its like ayo #I feel like i could talk about the particulars forever but i’ll spare that #I did not include Grim and the only MC to exist in my world. but that one exists too

when i say i ship asrian what i need you to understand is that i mean i want asra to apologize and beg for julian back. possibly in messy tears

#you can't convince me he wasn't the shittiest most manipulative awful boyfriend ever. no one understands me #as always debate and arguments are not welcome on my posts and you will be blocked #but like. listen ok. my headcanon is basically that they were fwb (for a rlly long time) #and julian fell in love with him because of course he did #and asra knew even before he ever admitted it because julian is obvious af #but asra was essentially just using julian and specifically dominating julian as an outlet to feel powerful #so the whole dynamic was basically humiliating for julian because they both knew that he loved asra and they both knew that asra #was using him for sex #but then asra actually did slowly start to fall in love with julian #which julian would obviously never notice because he hates himself #so it was pretty easy to hide. so asra hid it because he hated the thought of being vulnerable in front of julian #and then eventually let julian leave him with his whole dramatic shit of 'asra you deserve better' #and he couldn't say anything because he knew it was his fault #because that was what asra had made him believe #and then finds a way to twist it in his head to basically what he told mc in julian's route #that julian was 'deciding what's best for him' #instead of admitting that he was in love but he couldn't admit it because he thought he was above someone like julian #asrian #the arcana #wank // #<- i don't really see it as wank but i also really do not want asra stans bitching on my posts 🙏

OBEY ME NIGHTBRINGER SPOILERS (UP TO LESSON 11)

You guys…what if Solomon is the Nightbringer?

Hear me out please!

This game has been heavily centered around MC and Solomon. All the hints at Solomon enjoying having MC away from the brothers and all for himself. He obviously loves the attention and says that he feels jealous because of the brothers.

We know that Solomon and Barbatos eventually made up and in the present timeline, they’re on good terms. Solomon could’ve easily ordered Barbatos to transport MC to the past. Doesn’t matter if the latter objected to it. An order is an order as we have seen in this game.

It’s not just about being with MC though. We know he tried to wage a war against the Devildom all by himself. We’re not really told what the actual reason was. The recent chapters have showed us that he has a strong opinion about humanity’s place between demons and angels.

What if he wants to use MC and their powers to start a stronger war against the other two realms, at least the Devildom, to ensure a victory for humanity. That’s why he needs us to swear loyalty to humans.

#I mean I’m not really expecting it cuz these types of games don’t have such dramatic twists #all the promos hint to Barbatos being the nightbringer #but this seems like a great possibility and I would love to see this play out #obey me spoilers #obey me nightbringer spoilers #obey me solomon #solomon #obey me mc #obey me brothers #devildom #celestial realm #obey me barbatos #barbatos

For any horror fans out there that haven't read it yet: The Twisted Ones by T. Kingfisher is SO GOOD. I don't remember ever being so scared by a book

#the hollow places is also very good but it made me feel more like... fascinated than scared #the twisted ones actually has me like... i cant read it alone at night bc i get too spooked lol. i have to read it in bed next to my gf #and then i STILL get spooked. i spent all of last night in between dreams Scared Of Monsters Getting Me #until i woke up this morning and realized wait a second... that was in the book not real life #i am. so pleased by this. it is SO hard for me to find content that actually scares me anymore #and i love the authors voice too. the characters in each book have their own unique voices and both books have way different vibes #but even with that theres still some sort of just... essence that the author brings thats very present in both books and i really enjoy it #would definitely recommend both of them and i will DEFINITELY be checking out more of her books #rambling #edit: im looking at a list of her other books and two of them have a nonbinary mc?? hell yeah!!! #ive never seen a nonbinary person just casually represented in a non-lgbt focused novel. ESPECIALLY not as the protagonist in a horror #t kingfisher I LOVE YOU

I'm again, hyperfixating on games i don't have. But i'm just so in love with splatoon's style 😭 and music too

As i was thinking about what creatures each twst character would be in splatoon, i thought it would be a fun idea to mix the sea animals from Floyd's nicknames to each respective character! Not that it's any different from octolings and inklings though lol my knowledge on splatoon creatures is not so expansive, but i hope they look ok! Inkling Yuu, Mackereling (?) Deuce, and Crabling (????) Ace?????? Yeah 🧍it doesn't make sense for a crab or a fish to shoot ink like squids but ehhh it's too late now

#twst #my art #twisted wonderland #twst fanart #fanart #digital art #ace trappola #deuce spade #twst oc #twst yuu #twst mc #splatoon #splatoon fanart #and i decided to not make yuu a little shrimp here cause since inklings are SO CUTE and kinda like the face of splatoon #so i really wanted to make Yuu-the-MC an inkling ! #i wrote these tags all wrong but im too lazy to delete and rewrite. you get it you get it

[been-taking-muay-thai-classes]

there are magicless humans in twisted wonderland too, (i think sebek's dad has been implied to not have magic. and the glorious masquerade event also mentions townspeople without magic using little gadgets that use magic to perform tricks like sparks/fireworks)

yuu is weirdly pointed out as a magicless human in the school (specifically. bc there are no magicless ppl at a magic technical school), but i think it's to also imply they come from a world without magic.

i can't remember who made the post but there was someone who tried to make sense of the biology of magic in people in twisted wonderland. they said stuff about the relationships of potential for magic and actual magical ability in the humans, and how fae (or maybe just malleus) are beings made OF magic. and iirc the post also went into the reasons why a magic school would even exist and be exclusive, is due to potential in people not being the same so not everyone goes to a magic school bc that potential of growth isn't worth nurturing.

YESS YESSS

I remember that post. I read it several times because I remember actually being co fused about the potential for magic thing.

As I understood it, the idea is that everyone in Twisted Wonderland has the potential for magic even if only a select few have a potential worth nurturing (and that from those few, there's even a smaller few who are good enough mages??? Who are invited to NRC, hence the whole thing with Kalim for example not being invited to the school making Jamil think he is inferior, because then he would've received a letter sooner either there or for a different school like RSA but nobody has really explained what ACTUALLY happened there).

So that's the part that confused me. If everyone has potential for magic in Twisted Wonderland, then Yuu is truly an anomaly as they seem to lack that potential entirely. But if there are creatures (human, beastmen, merfolk) who also have zero potential for magic, then surely Yuu could have a mostly regular life in this world if for some reason they cannot go back home.

Here I think about the tools we've seen in the game such as the ghost camera, the magitool hammer found in the guest room and, most notably, the magiwheels.

The ghost camera and magitool both work just fine regardless of how much magic someone has, but the magiwheels/blastcycle are stated in book 5 to require magic to be used to their full capacity. But one of the npc's wonders first if one can even ride the blastcycle without magic so I looked at that as definite proof that yes, there are people without magic in this world too. I mean they have regular cars and buses and planes too, but anytime I saw people talk about magic in Twisted Wonderland I saw everyone sort of agreeing that wveryone has just the littlest bit of magic just not enough to count for anything (mentioning the laypeople of the first halloween event because laypeople implies they are magical just without the training to use said magic) so I was left on the fence.

But yeah, when looking at relatives of the boys we often get either explanations of which relative was a mage (Kalim, Sebek and Epel all hint at a female relative also having notable magic) or sometimes a relative that, oddly, didn't have it like Sebek's dad (sidenote I believe this also hinta at fae regularly having magic. It's actually implied that one reason Briar Valley has so little technological advancement is because they use magic for everything which would make sense given how fae are understood on general real life lore). So until explicitely stated otherwise (or someone from jp twst can confirm) I chose to believe that Yuu is only an anomaly because they are a magicless student in a magical school, not because they have no magic whatsoever in a world were that doesn't happen. It honestly just makes more sense lorewise given the special magical tools and schools and other such gadgets.

Thanks for the message, it really helped me clear my ideas about this point :D

#twisted wonderland #twst lore #twst mc #I didn't even consider the GloMas event in this because I wanna see how it's translated in that whole scheme #since the phrasing coul really chsnge the twst lore in both versions of the game #like how jp has inflation in comparison to en

The Saint of Bright Doors

a surreal Sri Lankan fantasy about colonialism, revolution, mixing fantasy with the modern world

follows a man raised by his mother to kill his father, a god-like cult leader

but as an adult he puts aside his life of violence and moves to the city for a quiet life

he becomes fascinated with ‘bright doors’ around the city that never open and have no other side, and joins a group studying them to find out more

and a support group for those with divine heritage that becomes increasingly revolutionary, until the task he was made for reemerges and his life upends

#the Saint of Bright Doors #aroaessidhe 2024 reads #this is kind of hard to explain I dont know if I did a very good job here lol #it is weird and full of so many interesting elements. I’m still not entirely sure how I feel about it but?? I really liked it mostly??? #It starts pretty small scale focused on the MC & slowly unravels the wider worldbuilding and narrative elements in a really interesting way #The first chapter or two I assumed it was typical high fantasy but then it’s like. oh this is a modern city. with emails and stuff. #The pacing is a bit weird - it’s quite meandering and also pivots significantly in the second half. tbh I’m still ????? about the ending lm #but also I am happy to float through on vibes. #and there’s some elements (like the doors that become….not that relevant) that I want to know more about. (as an aside - I saw someone say #that it’s a very clear retelling about Buddha’s son? which idk enough about but probably could give a deeper context to a lot of it) #writing style is kinda detached from the MC but also there is a reason for this that makes sense with the twist near the end! #which is a kind of twist i LOVE. Maybe I wish it had been emphasised a bit more over the story though? unsure. #I thought his mother's story was interesting also - you think she's an terrible parent just there for background context at the start but #then when she tells her story it's like ohh there's more context here. #also I hesitate to just say ‘if you like the spear cuts-- you should read this’ because I think the elements that are similar are done in a #kinda different way and might disappoint you if you’re expecting it to be the same as spear….but regardless the sort of dreamy writing #rich world; narrative with fantasy but also modern day elements; some of the writing style; mlm MC (tho not a romance) #idk. it will definitely not work for everyone but I enjoyed it overall #also it is full of queerness #bisexual books
