"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)
it's immensely funny to me how andrew lloyd webber read this passage from the book and was like yeah the journey down to the phantom's lair is this really breathtaking magical gondola ride where christine is just captivated by the strange and fantastical beauty of it all (see below)
when in the novel they're both like in a rowboat in the dark with christine scared out of her mind and confused as hell while erik is paddling like he's out for an extreme day of fishing and just staring christine down for the entire duration of the journey without blinking once . like mind you his eyes quite literally GLOW in the DARK and he's just fucking staring into her soul and silently rowing and probably not even breathing like
I wanna know what happens to the stuff Danny has on that disappears when he transforms.
His clothes are a neat example to try and illustrate because Danny as much as he likes to wear the same wardrobe, has worn other stuff. So it’s not like he can only switch between his hazmat suit and his signature outfit. If he was to wear cosplay and go ghost then he would turn back human to being in that specific set of clothes. Only who knows, maybe they’re just underneath.
But what the fuck with the stuff?? We have multiple objects that seamlessly stay with him when he transforms.
but then we also have
things that disappear into the void?? but no not really. they reappear in later episodes (proof? don’t got it). So, i’m totally assuming Danny can reach into the stuff when he transforms back? summon it at will??? that would be so neat but more questions.
Like where are they stored? Do they somehow exist in the same expanse of space he does and it’s locked temporarily until Danny turns human again?? Does it fuse into his ghost half when he transforms? (fenton helmet from when Danny overshadows his own avatar)
Because okay how do you even begin to explain the ecto-skeleton f-logo transforming alongside him into a phantom one?? Is Danny capable of using his essence as an extension of his being to affect those same inanimate objects?
their appearance??
honestly it’s intriguing.
and very cool. I would love to think my boi Danny would think the same and explore the shit out of this.
trying to read harrow the ninth after spending the whole first book in the head of a jock who actively tuned out exposition and made "that's what she said" jokes
GREAT GOOGLY MOOGLY, THE NEXT BOOK 7 UPDATE FOR THE JP SERVER IS SET FOR MARCH 1ST.
HOW WE FEELIN LADS!?!?!
AHHHHHHHH NOOO I'M NOT READY, I thought we'd be getting the fourth anniversary first and then Sebek's birthday and then maybe some more episode 7, I didn't -- I didn't think it'd be Friday --
oh god and they're rerunning the story cards, they didn't say this was the final part but it feels like...maybe the penultimate chapter? could the end of episode 7 finally be looming in the distance?! WHAT AM I GOING TO DO
