As someone who hasn’t played the twst game very long I just got into it. I wanted to know about events? Like do some not come back? For example do the Masquerade, Port, Beanfest, Ghost bride, starsending events. Do those come back? I hear people say how they missed their chance to get this great card like as if it won’t ever come back and then someone on Reddit will say something like “Oh beanfest happened twice on the JP server” so which events have gotten reruns so far? I would ask about more recent ones like the Easter one but idk if it’s too recent to know if get rerun or if they clarify that it won’t come back? I was really sad to find out about the Silk outfits I missed out on when they visit the scalding sands. I also was really sad to find out i missed out on the anniversary cards because I didn’t play the game yet. I wish they would add the anniversary cards to the store at least…I want to be apart of the celebration :’)

I was looking in the shop and saw all the different groovy items you need to groovify event cards and this question just came to me so I had the urge to ask someone…

welcome to Twst! 🎉 it is a bit confusing to jump right into, especially because. they're not always consistent. :') it sounds like you're probably playing on Eng, which I'm less familiar with, but I'll try based on what I know! (I also don't always remember everything, so somebody please correct me if I get something wrong!)

first, I do recommend the Twst wiki.gg, which seems to stay pretty up-to-date on events for both the Eng and JP versions! it's a great resource for when you want to see if/when an event ran or rerun. in general, I believe that the Eng version only does reruns that have already happened in JP, so if JP has a rerun that hasn't happened yet in Eng, they should get it too eventually! on the other hand, I don't think either version has ever rerun an event more than once. :( BUT this doesn't mean you're entirely out of luck, because:

anniversary events (March for JP, January for Eng) will usually offer a chance to get both an older event SSR and an older birthday SSR in the shop, via buying a special item with exchange currency (which you get by doing pulls on the anniversary gacha, I think you need to do 100-150 pulls for enough currency to buy the item to exchange for an SSR). only SSRs though, and you're limited to one each (one birthday, one event). so if there's an SSR you REALLY want and it's already had its rerun, it's probably worth planning to save up some keys for!

as for actual reruns, they seem to come in a few different flavors:

straight-up rerun, no changes or extra cards

unchanged event story, with a new SSR of a character who wasn't in the story (e.g. Applepom Jamil)

slightly rewritten event story that includes a new SSR (e.g. Ghost Marriage, they don't seem to do this anymore though)

completely new event story that acts as either a sequel or alternate-universe version of the original (e.g. Beans Day part 2, Fairy Gala IF) (though this is pretty rare and might actually count as a separate event, rather than a rerun?)

Master Chef/Culinary Crucible events have never gotten reruns (though they might start now that we've finally gotten through all the characters in JP, time will tell). birthday and Halloween events will also rerun the previous version in addition to the new one -- for instance, Eng should be getting a Glorious Masquerade rerun this year, followed by the new (Playful Land) Halloween event. and a birthday campaign will, in addition to the new card, have a separate pickup for the previous year's birthday card.

for the specific ones you mentioned -- I think Beanfest, Ghost Bride, Fireworks, and Starsending have already rerun in Eng, so those most likely will not be rerun again (at least not anytime soon). Masquerade should be coming back for you guys this Halloween, and Portfest JUST got its rerun in JP, so that should be coming too sometime in the future! (no new SSR though, alas, I was really hoping for a little marching band sailor boy Leona. ���) the Easter event is the White Rabbit Fest, right? that one hasn't gotten a rerun in JP yet either, so it's still on the table!

all that said, it's entirely possible they'll change the rules at some point and start doing more reruns/chances to get older event cards, especially since the game's been going on for a few years now and some cards haven't been available for a pretty long time! there's only one card that they said was for-realsies limited-time-only and wouldn't ever be available again -- Platinum Grim, since he was to celebrate the 100th anniversary -- so. there's always a little bit of hope for everything else. :D (fairy gala Ortho PLEASE COME BACK SOB)

Sparky's canon too I guess???

Does that mean the whole 50 years wish event is considered canon? Sparky's debut was way after that

Is Chloe Carmichael canon too??

don't mention the scuffed screen

Presenting a concept: Jellal never regains his memories, but spends his life trying to atone for his past actions. One day he meets Lisanna who is the only person without an immediate reaction to him existing. Similarly he's one of the only mages she meets who doesn't refer to her as "Mirajane and Elfman's little sister" or make any allusion to knowing who she is beyond understanding she's from fairy tail.

An unlikely friendship forms between two people who finally can exist around someone with no preconceived expectations of who they should be.

imaginary book: “The Ruined Idylls of Calomar”, low fantasy (quite obscure, authorship disputed; philologists suspect the first draft was written in a Celtic or Semitic language in the late 19th or early 20th century.)

The Ruined Idylls of Calomar by A.E. Mann

This haunting work of fantasy claims to be the journals of an unnamed scholar living in exile after the fall of the hidden lands of Calomar. Once a thriving, peaceful, highly civilized culture, its glory was brought low by the pride, greed, and wrath of kings, scholars, explorers and warriors who fought for glory, power, and honor, until its final destruction by a dark, nameless weapon left only a scant handful of survivors to escape and tell the tale. In haunting language, the narrator writes of Calomar's glory and intrigue, its final fall, and his irresistible yet doomed attempts to return to his lost homeland and learn what, if anything, has survived.

Had a dream I became an amputee and a ghost and I could float but it was like the same height and I could only go up if I grabbed onto something and lifted myself up and as soon as I touched anything remotely close to the ground I would lose the float and I'd have to use my ghost legs again

Ok so here am I trying to make a Wish AU as many people before (mostly because it's fun), and I'm really trying to get a grasp on the magic system, and for that, I need to define, for this story, what exactly a "wish" is.

From the Oxford Language Dictionary:

1. (verb) feel or express a strong desire or hope that is not easily attainable; want something that cannot or probably will not happen.

2. (noun) desire or hope for something to happen.

So, primarly, a "wish" is a verb; to wish is to want, to hope, to dream or to long.

This is a pretty abstract concept.

I thought back to some of Disney's previous movies, and fairy tales in general, and reached the conclusion that what made them so whimsy and fun was the fact that, by definition, a wish is something hard or almost impossible to obtain, but the hero in the story manages to reach their anyway, making the tale almost magical.

Now, Wish's story is about how someone else grants wishes. But how?

When I first heard about it, I thought Magnifico was some kind of omniscient entity that lived in another plane of reality that helpes setting the pieces in fantasy land that allowed people to grant their wishes, in a much more indirect way than he does in the actual movie. In The Princess and The Frog, say, Tiana wishes on a star, and then an opportunity appears in front of her as prince Naveen, which allows her to at the end of the story, have her goal granted. But the star doesn't directly grant her wish, or else it'd feel too magical and distant from reality, and not the right amount of whimsy and hardship that makes these stories relatable.

So yeah, Wish's approach to the concept of a 'wish' is VERY tricky and honestly if I was to chose something to celebrate this anniversary I'd pick a classic fairy tale we didn't have yet, like Rumpletistkin, Little Red Riding Hood, a mithological retelling like they did with Hercules, or go further and pick a classic tale from another culture, like a chinese or african story.

Anyways *sighs* back to brainstorming I guess.

It is a wonderful little way to collect donations for maintaining the province’s hiking trails.

It is also 100% a faerie trap.
