sorry these are still more thumbnails than anything else, but I need to admit at this point that I'm not getting any further on them (fingers crossed silly faces help make up for just sheer lack of time). so here's a random mix of stuff re:the episode 7 finale!

please don't destroy these tumblr

(rearranged them -- sorry for it being so ungodly vertical, but hopefully they're legible now without getting cut off in the app!)

missed the mark by (looks at calendar) uhhh. hm. but I really wanted to do something for the 5th anniversary! happy five years to these idiots 🎉

we can talk later about the absolute rudeness of Twst dropping OB!Mal on me like in this way, but right now I'm 100% focused on this little bit of the announcement:

(under Home Setting, you can change the appearance of the character on your home screen)

the Overblot Gang are going to have alternate arrangements...they're going to have alt versions that we'll be able to switch between...oh my god. like, yeah, it's probably going to be something small like, I dunno, turning the eye flames on and off or whatever. but. do we dare dream for a better world.

[mayjunenov]

About ob mal's alt, I feel like we'll get the prince outfit with the broken horn. Every ob guy got a new look during book 7 so even tho their dressup would be different (except Azul he just takes off some accessories lol) I think it'd kinda fit? What do you think

I want it to be this, just because I want Malleus' little Meleanor-cosplay to be attainable in some way. 🙏 I need to see everybody in Briar Valley royal outfits immediately. hometown event WHEN

(and of course, this is all besides how much I need the world's littlest punk rocker on my home screen)

HIIIII! I was just wondering if you had a Yuusona or Yuu style oc? I absolutely love your twst content and art style, and I'm a bit curious what your version of Yuu would be.

sorta! I have my faceless weirdo who fills that role most of the time:

the most connection to canon they have is probably the dialogue options that let you always introduce yourself as Grim's servant. (sidenote: thank you Twst devs for always making that an option. why would you ever choose anything else.) their main personality trait is being as stupid as is necessary for the sake of the punchline. for some reason everyone is extremely into this. for some reason especially Malleus is extremely into this.

in-game (and in the like...one single non-shitposty comic I've ever drawn them in) I do play 'em as slightly less of a dumbass, but, y'know. only slightly. really the thing that's most important to me is that regardless of shitpost level, my Yuu is always, forever, eternally incapable of being fazed by literally anything. their first memory is waking up in a coffin. they have an interdimensional link to a giant talking rodent that only they can see. they met a mysterious horned gentleman walking around in the dead of night and immediately nicknamed him Horn Boy. they went on a mine-crawling adventure where they got chased by a giant inky monster and came out of it with two new best friends. their self-preservation instinct is somewhere in the negative numbers by this point.

I made these as a way to compile all the geographical vocabulary that I thought was useful and interesting for writers. Some descriptors share categories, and some are simplified, but for the most part everything is in its proper place. Not all the words are as useable as others, and some might take tricky wording to pull off, but I hope these prove useful to all you writers out there!

More Depression Trio for yall!

Headcanon time!

Cater writes fanfics in his free time. An ungodly amount of fics, because he can write several at once using his UM. Half of his fanfics are rpf of his school mates lol

Idia on the other side draws fanarts the rare times he isn't busy playing video games.

And Leona has no idea what the hell is happening so he just rolls with it.

One thing I wish was understood a bit better about Twisted Wonderland.

Everyone in this game has trauma or personal struggles and it's NOT a competition of who has it worse. Honestly, sometimes I wish everyone's traumas were discussed more in depth in the game like we get with each person who Overblots, but we don't have time for it. With the Overblot boys, their trauma is shoved directly into the spotlight and we hear exactly how their situations make them feel. But the rest of the cast, ALL of them, have personal struggles and/or trauma. This is just a small list of some of the issues each non Overblot student has.

Ace masks the fear he feels in a lot of situations, and he's got an inferiority complex on some level. Notice how he bullied the player and Grim in our first interaction? That is a sign of someone who is looking to feel better by pushing someone else down because they don't feel good about themselves.

Deuce grew up with a single mother who had to work multiple jobs to make ends meet, which causes him to worry about her, and he was a delinquent in middle school, which made his mom, the one person he worries over, cry. He lives with those regrets, but he's still got those old habits and he agonizes over the fact he's not academically where he'd like to be and his behavior regresses when in heated situations.

Trey has severe trauma at being screamed at for FIVE HOURS over giving Riddle ONE slice of tart, so much that his vitals are severely affected at the thought of Mrs. Rosehearts and he's heavily conflict avoidant.

Cater has had to move all the time and as a defense mechanism, refuses to be honest or get close to people because he doesn't want to get attached only to be ripped away from them.

Ruggie lives in EXTREME poverty when not at school. He struggles to make ends meet and he has to work so hard in a system that is DESIGNED to keep him in poverty, because many beastmen still prefer segregation in the Sunset Savannah.

Jack has one of the healthier mindsets, but he still struggles with being open and honest about his feelings, which makes it hard to have friends, and he struggled with watching Leona, someone he's idolized, fall short of what he believed of Leona.

Jade and Floyd are implied to have grown up in some form of crime family and both seem to have handled the fact their lives could be in constant danger differently. Both like things being interesting, but Jade seems to prefer seclusion and control, while Floyd enjoys scaring people off and having as much fun as he can before he goes.

Kalim is someone who has had multiple assassination attempts on his life, even from his own family. He masks behind a smile, but he's afraid to trust people, and when he DOES TRY to talk about it, it gets brushed off because he has money. Also, he has to deal with the fact Jamil has been undermining his ability to progress by not treating him as if he's capable at all.

Epel has been teased and bullied on how he looked to the point where he started instigating fights to ensure he wouldn't be teased. He also has to fall in line with what Vil wants because he made the error of picking a fight with Vil and getting his butt HANDED to him. To further add, Vil is NOT NICE about it when Epel resists, with one example being Vil grabbing him by the ear and pulling hard as a form of punishment.

Rook has deal with the fact that for being someone who is super perceptive and can notice details, he didn't realize Vil's feelings around Neige, likely because he was blinded by his own admiration for both of them and that's a bitter pill to swallow.

Ortho has to deal with being basically created as a replacement for dead Ortho Shroud, trying to figure out if he's just really a robot made by Idia with really good AI or more than that, and dealing with the fact he loves his brother so much, but his brother doesn't take care of himself and it's disheartening to watch Idia's self-destruction.

Lilia has so much war trauma, losing his loved ones, having been exiled, and so much other crap. Even so, he forced himself to put the war and his trauma about it in the past, where it belonged for the sake of his two sons who both lost so much to war, which is something Baur/Baul could NOT do which was to Sebek's detriment.

Silver has had to live with the idea that his adoptive father would likely outlive him, then is faced with the fact that his father is basically abandoning everything about their life in Briar Valley before he learns that his biological parents were the enemies of the person he serves and cares about, Malleus, and the only father he's ever known.

Sebek has grown up with internalized racism/speciesism against humans thanks to his upbringing and he basically rejects half of his heritage with how he treats his father. He does not even realize how hurtful his comments are until he's faced with those remarks being directed at him by a younger version of his grandfather.

And this isn't everything each student has to face. This is just broad strokes. Yana Toboso wrote a story about flawed people who all have gone through really hard and difficult things because that's the point. As Toboso said in a 2023 interview:

“Happy endings in Disney works come from righteous actions and love, but I believe that the villains are characters who do not get saved during the story. That is why, through this game, I want to portray the message that even if you get beat up all the way to a bad ending, you can grow from it and live your life without feeling discouraged.

Acting lame, obstinate, without hesitation, being open and honest—it’s not as bad as it sounds. 

I would like to paint a positive picture of living honestly with yourself and not worrying about others.

In today’s society there are so many people who live in fear of failure and are always walking on eggshells, but nobody’s flawless. It is exhausting to try to live your life so that no one will hate you.”

Everyone, even people you don't know or do not like, have gone through things that shaped who they are. Sometimes, how we've adapted to handle the bad things that happen will force us to hit rock bottom. But you don't have to die when you hit rock bottom.

You can have terrible things happen to you and have maladaptive strategies to handle your experiences, but you aren't stuck that way forever. You can learn how to change your habits, learn to be okay with yourself, and work at being better than you were the day before.

Human growth is not linear. It's a bunch of taking steps forward and backsliding and learning and making mistakes over and over again and accepting failure, not as a testament to your character, but as part of the process of growth... and that's something all the students have to learn, not just the Overblot boys. Because all of them, every single one, are handling their own personal issues, even if it isn't shoved right in our faces.
