"IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A JOKE" As someone who's been playing TWST since march and stopped going out of my way to be spoilerfree after I got stuck at Overblott!Jamil? That's honestly been one of my favorite things about it - seeing something in fanart or a comment you think is just fans joking, only for it to be canon. "The economy!", "May I also throw a tantrum?", Malleus' gargoyle thing, and... everything about Rook being my top examples.

there's a whole bit in Trey's platinum birthday card where he goes on about how he became increasingly obsessed with mustard for like a week straight until the other students held an intervention. how are you supposed to talk about this. how can you bring up something like Trey's descent into mustard obsession to the point that the other characters are worried for him without it sounding like the most obvious lolrandom "he mentioned it once and now fandom acts like he puts mustard in everything" joke. also, how can I slip this into every Twst post from now on, because I need everyone in the world to know that this is a real canon fact about Trey "I'm just an average normal guy (who sticks my hands into people's mouths and owns 20 toothbrushes and used to eat flowers off the side of the road)" Clover.

for bonus points, 1) the punchline is that he still doesn't even like mustard that much, 2) he's saying all of this to Leona, and 3) Leona is actually kind of invested in Trey's mustard story for some reason, which is the most unbelievable part of all of this to be honest. (then Trey gets distracted by a painting of the Cheshire Cat and Leona takes the opportunity to powerwalk away to freedom before they can start talking about dijon versus spicy brown or whatever and extend this bit even longer)

#art #twisted wonderland #twisted wonderland spoilers #platinum jacket birthday #sorry that this ended up as me just talking about trey's birthday story for...about as long as trey talked about mustard. whoops. #i have said it before and i'll say it again though #the birthday cards have the best and most insane lore and i love them #especially for trey. he wants us to believe he's just some ordinary dude SO bad but he also keeps saying shit like this. #although to be fair as soon as rook enters the building the weirdness bell curve gets immediately fubar'd #so i guess it's all relative #me any time the characters brush off the most whackadoodle bonkers nonsense: why are they not questioning...oh wait #this is a universe in which rook exists and is a real person that they know #never mind please continue

people who do STEM or administration as a career full time and continue to do art as a hobby, I am scared of you but like in a hot way. youre like if we were allowed to have cold drinks in winter. i look at you and think of miles morales with his two cakes. do you want to make out sometime

#i say all of this positively bc i just! i cant help admiring it!! even if its mundane or not a big deal to you i seriously cant wrap my head #around it.. this is in no way at all meant to be condescending or anything. whenever i look at someones bio and theyre like oh im working #as a lab assistant biologist pharmacist realtor etc im like woag.... thats insane.. and then i peep your art tag and it knocks my socks of #how?? what lives do you lead??? im so curious. i seriously want a peek inside your brains someday. or at least shadow you at work lol #i cant help but feel sad when someone says smth like well i have to support myself and art cant do that for me. or maybe you were #pushed into pursuing a 'safe' career bc i hear it a lot. all of my relatives have the same story working as nurses and OFWs for the family #i think for me its not about missed potential but rather its being sad about making a decision to put your happiness aside to get by #ive tried so hard to do it but it didnt work out. i guess watching you guys do it is fascinating to me #or maybe youve made peace with your decision or actually like what you pursued but im still amazed!! it makes me wonder what made #you pick one over the other in that case.. is it like putting time for two different things the way you would for a schedule?? hmmm #im doing graphic design so i dont really interact with ppl in other faculties even humanities like sociology or childcare... so i cant help #wondering what it must be like as someone whos pursuing visual communication both as an interest and career #i seriously wish i could do smth like a desk job or even admin and maybe ill try that if this doesnt work. or i could look into trades #but dyscalculia already makes it hard to do things like cash and mental math so i get overwhelmed if i think about this too hard #yapping

There are two types of Bottoms (2023) rewatches (for me at least)

Or

#lets play a game of guess which one i am in tonight 🥹 #spoiler its not the first one #isokay though im managing it well *well being a relative term for my usual amount of my panic attack management system #bottoms 2023 #bottoms movie #the amount of giggly smiling tricks my brain into thinking we're actually feeling happy and in a giggly mood #and the unhingedness gives my empathetic nervous system a chance to redirect its focus onto THEIR issues instead of #mine and then suddenly my brain has realized we're not in immediate danger #and boom we've got a perfect panic disorder management strategy for me #the other type of rewatch is also very fun. trust. Especially when I'm introducing it to my other sapphic friends. so much glee #and unintelligible thoughts. giggly unintelligible thoughts #anyhoo here you all go :))

there’s no way i’m actually watching a youtube video on how to right click with the touchpad like a grandma what

#i’ve been using this really really heavy and pretty old windows laptop ever since the mac one lost its life when i was in 8th grade a few #yearsago.but my dad recently got a new one for his work so he decided to give me his older but still relatively new and cool version of thi #portable device and guess what. they don’t have that section on the touchpad like it’s ALL SMOOTH. #and i haven’t been able to figure out how to save images from google or do anything i used to do with tht right click thingy help #my little sister has been using mac so she’s probably used to it but look at me now. absolutely STRUGGLING #they don’t make things like my beloved very old and heavy and inconvenient for travel but also very indestructible laptop anymore *sighs* #(no but seriously. i dropped that accidentally in class one day and it was ALL GOOD. imagine if it was one of the newest model 😭) #my old laptop i will always love you though <3 #nadirants

Hiii is there anything we know about the dagger squad backgrounds that’s canon? Other than Jake being from Texas, is the stuff about what they studied/where they’re from headcanon? THANK U MUCH LOV

we don’t really know that much i don’t think but a majority of the background info i’ve found is either vaguely mentioned in the film or the paramount draft script you can find online ! bradley being a poli sci major at UVA and graduating in ‘09 is canon (and also very dear to me bc that was my major too plus i also graduated hs at 17 bc we are both #junebabies :]), jake originally got his call sign because bradley gave it to him and he hated it at first, bradley played baseball as a kid, mickey is a trekkie and also catholic or at least raised catholic (he crosses himself before they launch on the mission in the draft script), harvard and yale were the only duo that came from the same squadron together before the movie, and bradley and jake and natasha were in top gun together at the same time. there’s probably more backstory you could piece together for everyone by looking at their service medals/ribbons they wear but i fear i am not knowledgeable enough about that sort of stuff without a lot more research. they all mostly have the same ones but natasha has a NATO medal, jake has a navy unit commendation ribbon, and reuben has a joint service achievement medal.

also silly canon details that aren’t background info but i still love: jake wears what i’m pretty sure is a class ring on his right ring finger, he’s also the only trainee i recall seeing actually wear his tags, he likes van halen and foghat and seems to be a classic rock fanatic, natasha wears a plain gold band on her left index finger, mickey, reuben, natasha, and bob all use those multicolor clicky pens, bradley is i think the only one of the main squad who doesn’t have the fingertips cut off his flight gloves, halo’s tank top has her squadron logo on it during the football scene, and those stupid jorts bradley wears were definely just jeans he cut the legs off himself 😭.

#also since the mission takes place sometime in november but training starts the last two weeks of october #ive decided one of the daggers definitely threw a halloween party. actually i need to write about that wait. #i guess we could ASSUME omaha is from nebraska 😭 #since bradley is the only one we rlly have a canon age for i just kinda decided to base the others off the actors relative ages #except reuben bc wym jay ellis is in his FORTIES rn? #glen and miles are like 1 yr apart whereas the others are a bit younger so idk #jake and bradley are the same age TO ME! #bradleys backstory is actually kinda confusing bc there’s continuity errors on the records sheet maverick looks at #he graduated in 09 but also apparently started his active duty enlisted in 06 ? like oh okay. #he took spanish as a summer class before he started at UVA for whatever thats worth 😭😭😭 #bradley is so cute sorry but i want to bite him or something #but choosing poli sci as his major ? yeah thats how ik hes gay for sure ! #top gun maverick #ik bradley mickey harvard and yale’s squadrons are all based out of oceana (virginia) while everyone else is lemoore (california)

here's the durge scene i was talking about in the tags of my last reblog yesterday - you get this if you cast Heal on them

#the other two options were along the lines of 'the memory makes you sick to your stomach' and 'ugh i was such an amateur back then' #baldurs gate 3 #bg3 spoilers #this raises so many questions for me #spoilers for their questline & backstory follow!!!!! #durge wasnt *born* - they were hand-crafted by bhaal from his own gore #like it's why they have the Urge to begin with. they aren't a normal bhaalspawn #but they weren't just dropped in the world fully-formed #even without this we'd know that because sceleritas mentions a few times how they were on their own until they were an adult or nearly an #adult. at which point he came to them and led them to the temple of bhaal #which is how they picked up all their non-murder related skills. and why they're relatively normal compared to someone like orin who was #raised in the cult. or maybe not normal but better able to function in regular society #but if they werent *born* then how did they show up in the world? #were they like dropped on someone's doorstep as a baby? did they have an adoptive family? #could this have BEEN their adoptive family? #what were they like as a child before they started killing people? probably they just tortured & killed animals #i guess this is all left to the realm of headcanon

Me thinks I am one of the few who really likes lmk's pacing

#personally I think it's god pacing #They can do a lot in 10 minutes and do it well #Like. Let's look at 4x02 #It gives us a SWK & Macaque flashback #It gets Tang Sandy and Pigsy trapped in the scroll #It introduces Azure as a characters (and hints at peng and yellowtusk) #It explains the curse the scroll and gives us a hint of the 10 kings of the underworld #It establishes Azure's relationship with monkey king #AND it get's MK and Mei into the scroll #all in 10 minutes #They blow me outta da water every time #Like. I don't know what we could possible cut out to make time for other things. #Like. *maybe* 3x03. Maybe. #Aughg but I don't want to I'm just so satisfied with what we have #Like RELATIVELY. To the total time the show actually has. I just feel like everything gets a decent amount of focus #Which is my opinion #But I guess this topic as a whole is pretty subjective #anyways #rant end *sheaths my blade* #lmk #lego monkie kid #imp tag

DAD MIGHT DAD MIGHT DAD MIGHT DAD MIGHT

Listen for all intents and purposes Izuku doesn’t have a dad and All Might stepping in and filling that role for him is so important to me, especially telling Izuku he’s proud of him. I think MHA is my favorite subversion of the Your Mentor Must Die trope because Toshinori decides he has to live because Izuku needs him and then he just does it. Like a boss. This is how you show up for a child!!!

And on the flip side Mitsuki Bakugo repeatedly hitting her son in front of his teachers?!! I don’t know how I never noticed that before but yeesh. I figured there was some verbal and emotional abuse from that scene but apparently I was never fully watching because yeah, she full-on hits her kid :/ and his dad just sits there and let’s it happen??!?

I am having FEELINGS about bkdk parents today I guess

#mha #mha rewatch #the scene on dagobah beach right after All Might’s last battle and Katsuki’s rescue is in my top five favorite moment in this entire show #izuku midoriya #all might #toshinori yagi #katsuki bakugou #didn’t even go into Inko #Inko as a single parent working to support herself and her kid but also being anxious probably meant she was either #a little bit absent but also a little bit smothering #and the bakugos just need therapy point blank #anger management counseling #a healthy dose of the reality that hitting your kid is never the answer #ugh HOW is MHA so fleshed out and well written like all of these dynamics are so real #bkdk #I guess #just because I find where Izuku and Katsuki came from relative to how they turned out fascinating #like of course the child of an absent parent always feels like he’s the least important person in the room #of course the kid who gets hit at home doesn’t socialize very well #yes

sometimes i think about how there has to be other members of the robotnik family out there that we dont see on screen because they arent really anybody special or important. somewhere out there theres some guy who has to live with the knowledge that dr eggman and shadow the hedgehog are his cousins

#i guess you could say this about any sonic character really #but with the robotniks its funnier to think about. because theyre the only like. idk how to word it #the only family tree we know of? i guess is what youd call it? #like for example we know vanilla is cream's mom but we dont know any of their other relatives #but with eggman we know that maria is his cousin and gerald is his grandfather #and also that shadow is marias brother and geralds son and he has a secret second dad whos an evil alien guy #and some of eggmans creations view eachother as siblings and eggman as their dad #so the mental image of there being some random guy whos related to all that is just funny to me

Happy birthday month, Rebekah! I'm glad you exist :)

Predictably, may I please have an OC of your choosing?

I chose this scene from A Constellation of Six because it’s been in my head since I first read it and was the first image that came to me when you were deciding which short story to revisit.

Perfectionism strikes again and until today left me unwilling to commit to something less spectacular than the image inside my head, and that’s my only excuse for why this took so long. The pose itself came together fairly quickly despite no references on that account, and the rest was a breeze thanks to your research. In the end I gave up on the background and scribbled the night over everything except the two of them, but funnily enough what remained after that came much closer to what I’d imagined anyway.

so thank you for your patience with this one as well as the reference hunting you did, I had a lot of fun.

#Nyella is so wonderfully complex (like all your characters really) and I’m fascinated by the contrast between the warmth and lightness she #is to Josiah (I like that her gown is white because she’s like this beacon of safety to him and I got to try to bring some of that #out visually) not to mention the bright loving and curious woman she is for her own sake #vs the relatively young and inexperienced woman that she is when it comes to handling her stepdaughters—and Josiah when it comes to the #possibility of needing to discern the truth and discipline him! #And while I relate a little too hard to Josiah’s fear of the dark (at that age I was terrified for sure) and can certainly #understand and sympathize with his thought processes a great disservice was done to him as well as Ayra in the matter of the broken watch #Because I’m also all too familiar with his desire to stretch the truth to or outright lie to make himself look better #And by not even doubting what he said when Ayra had insufficient reason to lie *and* a witness on her side then I can guess that #The habit that gets him into trouble by book 3 had the seeds of it planted here. #ANYWAY I love how it turned out in the end. I tried a dressing gown for Josiah but I liked just the striped pajamas better #Bare feet are hard but I didn’t consider the possibility of slippers till just now oops #Nyella’s hair at first resembled Rietta’s a tad too much so I smoothed it out #Birthday sketches #I’m working on the next one already but wow what is up with me this month???
