#I waited 2 years JUST to see what Premo merch looks like. And I finally got it.

🍍Anon! Long Ramble below cause I finally got to reading your response, I hope you don't mind. I just got back from a hellish week at work, Also lmao I don't mind getting a tag!

I enjoyed reading the events/theoretical concepts you have in mind, seeing the niche ingame references and even from their movie/series was fun (It was like a game of "Is this a reference or not?") Also the extra ocs you had for the event? Cecil's fraternal twin you say👁️ (Had me googling if Cedric ever had a sister which TIL) Nyoka's event sounds amazing too! Worldbuilding has always been something I wish TWST had a better grasp at, so an event exploring Reptilian culture sounds amazing. Both Cecil and Nyoka being placed on retail though lmao (I'm trying to imagine how Cecil/Nyoka will handle a potential "Karen" Mob student) And lastly the Emilio One! I remember seeing Marisol in the Magicam posts, The whole carnaval event got me even more curious about her.(Admittedly I never got to continue sofia the first when Elena was revealed so I'm just reading off of the wiki to compare the parallels lmao)

THANKS THERES LIKE A MILLION ALLUSIONS as a result of rewatching all of these things with @/oddberryshortcake. I think that’s what a five day a week 9-5 does to a persons mind. You have to find joy somewhere and it came in the form of various shows from Didney Jr. (which were all my first exposures) mixed with an investment TWST reading.

Even if it’s not intentional sometimes allusions will happen. Never let them know your next move.

LOOK, A WIKI WILL DO ITS JOB. 😩👍 I can���t even watch youtubers talk about these shows because I just go 🤓 “ermm blud literally skipped over ENTIRE main characters without naming them and whole arcs to yap about a one off episode for 20 minutes, hope somebody got fired for that blunder.” I say, as I like these users.

I just appreciate you actually looking into the choices I’ve made 👉👈 Handholding isn’t something I like doing much, so it’s a matter of hoping they speak for themselves. And also causing the pointing meme

LMAO GLAD YOU ENDED UP LEARNING MORE LORE JUST FROM THESE FREAKS KFHDGFG

Under cut yapping. Because I censor my perspective now.

Dont get me wrong fr, I think TWSTS worldbuilding scratches my itch in being just vague enough in a “just go with it” way to work with and I like that sort of shrugging off way of going about it, but other times I’ll hit random walls.

I can’t even say what country Emilio’s homeland is attached to because that unknown “central/south america” parallel country within TWST hasn’t even been revealed yet (I think it’s inevitable one will be name dropped since there isn’t a lack of films per se, we just haven’t been exposed to that information by circumstance of the current cast. It’s like how Port O’ Bliss infers a “north america” if not only a 1920s aesthetic new orleans parallel existing but it makes me kinda brrrr. That, and the way the game updates doesn’t lend itself to much exposure of other info at a consistent rate.)

It’s still gonna be separate regardless since it’s just an Avalor equivalent and all it’s worldbuilding will focus on that, but it doesn’t help. It is a peninsula after all lol, it’s attached to something. Lmao

I kinda hate being stuck using real life countries to make my point cuz I know it’s just the films as primary inspiration and the settings those are set in are kind of window dressing to inform the aesthetics of the fictional TWST world. WHICH IM FINE WITH, I just can’t articulate otherwise. Overlap is inevitable by design. Good thing only one person knows me IRL because I save all my serious dissertations like that solely for offline.

THEN AGAIN WE STILL DONT ENTIRELY KNOW HOW NIGHT RAVEN COLLEGE ITSELF FUNCTIONS, the literal setting everyone is constantly in. But who am I to go all “erm actually 🤓” about a game where despite the passage of time existing in it’s main story, everyone’s ages still haven’t changed. Or how all events and vignettes simultaneously do and don’t happen. Pretty sure even Yana Toboso herself gives it a loud shrug. …So, that’s how I’m gonna run with it. Though I choose to believe they have aged within the main story, it’s just not gonna be brought up.

We only have a single corner of their world mapped. We still don’t know where exactly Scalding Sands is even geographically located actually lol.

And I don’t care what anyone says about the manga, anthology and novels because whatever world-building is in those has been shown to overlap consistently. iF I LEARN NEW INFORMATION FROM ANY OF THOSE, IT LIKELY APPLIES TO THE MAIN STUFF. Novel was first to reveal the roommate situations year to year before it ever got stated in-game.

Call it my Dragon Ball ptsd though cuz whenever someone calls these things “non canon” I get an automatic reaction. Once someone reads that phrase people tend to dismiss it entirely. This stuff isn’t any less invaluable with it’s information regardless of what it is. At least, to me it isn’t.

This ain’t anime from the filler era of the 90s-00s where filler happens and it doesn’t carry over. This is random stories or alternate iterations of the same story where the worldbuilding is the same throughout and carry into each other.

IF IM GOING TO USE MY RANDOM INCONSISTENT PREDICTION POWERS FOR ANYTHING, GIVE ME A TWST YZMA. I manifested TWST Zazu (sorry, it was me 😞 I did it), Applepom Jamil, and Silver’s dang backstory, and halloween cards, GIVE ME TWST YZMA. Or Kronk or freaking Kuzco I don’t care. (I really wish I was public with my old guesses because I was floored every time.)

We got a Donald Duck namedrop THE THREE CABELLEROS CANT BE TOO FAR BEHIND— *delusional*

If the next new years card has an SSR Idia forced into retail, then I will get my other wish in an unpredictable way.

…I digressed hard.

THEN THE OTHER THING I WORRY ABOUT IS snake beastmen because there’s a high non-zero chance of THAT concept showing up. Like the above, probably not anytime soon, but it’s not zero.

I don’t really have a bunch of stuff thought up for that species as a whole, just Nyoka and his separate clan specifically, so it might be okay.

I dunno! Sometimes I don’t want to get caught up in my own junk TOO hard, especially if the main game exposes new info that could be compromising. Which is also why I avoid main films entirely when it comes to character making. But, I never know.

…Stares at Silver’s future bday cozy loungewear in May. Plz don’t break my Cecil being his roommate thought, it’s so funny. Please don’t break it— idc if it’s a mob cuz I can project anything onto a mob.

I don’t worry about Tia. She’s an MC it doesn’t matter, she barely qualifies. She’s just some random person who acts like her. If anything I IMPLORE twst to drop a literal twst Tiana, let me see the boy. I know he’s there somewhere. Gimme all the princess boys we have Snow White and Aurora.

Marisol is clearly the Elena stand in AND MORE INFO WILL COME EVENTUALLY. In spurts. She’s been around as long as Emilio has, it’s just I haven’t said anything. Well, I did actually but it’s sorta buried somewhere.

If she was a mainline princess I probably would’ve made her a boy to follow the other patterns, but she’s not. 💀 But, I also just like having more girls in TWST in general, so if Marisol and Cecil’s sister are my excuses, they will be. Not a huge fan of making NRC co-ed., aside from the MC being any exception I feel that kind of misses the point.

…Besides, if Najma taught me anything, it’s that supporting cast don’t really deviate too far to begin with. And no one can tell me that Najma isn’t a direct parallel to Jafar’s niche sister Nasira. (WHICH HELLO?)

Or all of Leona’s family.

This yapping is going nowhere.

I HAVE NO IDEA IF ANY OF THOSE EVENTS WILL COME TO FRUITION. I still have the Leona thing to shit out, and this other unrelated [redacted] thing I’ve been chipping away at since June. Though, I should probably move it’s files to procreate.

I take a while before anything comes out.

I will literally wait for anything if it also means telling a better joke.

…

I’D DRAW SAMS NEW YEAR RETAIL CECIL AND NYOKA BUT I WOULD HAVE TO DO SOME SERIOUS JAPANESE NEW YEAR STUDYING. AND SOMETIMES I DONT FEEL LIKE STUDYING

normalize it being okay to not know everything ever😩 /hj

Maybe eventually i’ll draw something. No promises.

LMAO BYE THATS ENOUGH YAPPING ABOUT BASICALLY NOTHING THANKS FOR THE INTEREST
