If there is a Nightmare before Christmas, then does Christmas exist in Twisted Wonderland?
Was there a Jesus???
[Referencing this post!]
Tumblr media
Well, we don’t know if “Christmas” will be an actual term used in-universe yet. We in the real world know this event will be Nightmare Before Christmas themed, but there is no guarantee this is how it will be depicted in the game itself. In fact, the actual names of the properties the event stories are based on are never mentioned, with the sole exception of Lost in the Book with Stitch (since Stitch is technically a character we meet).
I think they can name “Christmas” something different to avoid the religious implication. This would be similar to how irl languages exist in TWST but are never referred to as such. For example, French words are used (most notably by Rook) but French is never called “French”. Edit: Either that, or maybe the religious elements are kept there but are made questionably vague, like how Rollo is never outright stated to be Catholic yet everything at Noble Bell College is very Catholic in design.
The devs could given a new history or in-universe explanation for the holiday that doesn’t involve religion at all. (Edit: For example, as some commenters have suggested, “Christmas” could become a more generalized winter holiday.) This would be similar to the explanation for Halloween provided in the first Halloween event; irl, Halloween has its roots in a pagan celebration of the harvest season. In TWST, Lilia explains Halloween as being a celebration of the dead/ghosts temporarily returning to the world of the living.
It’s also possible that they don’t mention “Christmas” at all and/or just focus on or mostly focus on the Halloween aspect. Basically a shift of the focus.

anyways since it’s the holidays shout out to religiously traumatized people, people questioning their religion, people who just got out of their religion, people considering getting back into their religion, people who miss their religion even if it ended up hurting them, people who never practiced religion, people who have practiced religion their whole lives, and people who don’t celebrate christmas/celebrate other holidays because of their religon
and FUCK the mormon church

Imagine if Catholic!Yuu came to Twisted Wonderland with a rosary or something similar and Lilia (who is very vampire-coded imo) just will not/cannot approach them when they have it on.
I don’t even believe Earth’s religions exist in Twisted Wonderland (or most of them, at the very least). Which makes it even better because then there’s literally no reason for Lilia to not be able to approach Yuu. He just can’t do it.

wait.. im confused... are you actually christian?
or are you also just forced to your parents views?
Yes.
It's complicated LMAO
I would call myself Christian, but not subscribed to the same sort of belief my parents are? From a young age they've taken me to church, involved religion in every aspect of my life, and in a way tainted it for me. Same goes for the church I go to. At the same time, I think I still believe in a higher power. I've gotten more cynical as I've grown older, and though I've kept silent about it, my views almost always clash with theirs. I think a big part of it is they've (my parents and the church) uphold themselves to such a standard of being a good person, they've forgotten that being a good person requires being, well, good. Not self righteous or wise or inherently more morally upstanding, but being kind and understanding and loving. How am I to believe in a god that loves everyone when my parents preach about loving my neighbor but scoff when I want to donate to a trans charity? Or when my church tells me that God is kind, and then turn and tell a rape victim she must forgive her rapist? God is patient until you are in the wrong, then you demand forgiveness.
Why is being kind the rule and the homosexuals, and the poor, and the different, the exception? There shouldn't be an exception. Why am I drawing lines between me and them? What kind of belief system has the right to make me wonder, had my parents known I was queer, if they would love me less? If I am a child of god, and so are my parents, and my friends, then so are all those they condemn to hell.
In summary, sorry for the little rant haha, I am christian. I think, just not in the way my parents planned

Meet Christmas Cookie!
Tumblr media
This was meant to be an adoptable, but I got attached to her ^^"
The inspirations were: Ccino Sans, by @black-nyanko. Nightmare Sans (due to the frosting goop) by Jokublog! Eggnog Sans by @eggnogs-tree And Cakebatter Sans by @waxysketchd!
Details below!
She uses She/They pronouns!
She's Christian! (However she IS part of and an ally to the LGBTQIAP+ community!)
They're aro and ace!
Their clothes are: Gingerbread jacket with frosting. Chocolate swirl shirt. Sprinkle brownie shorts. Cinnamon stick pants. Gingerbread apron. Chocolate chip cookie stockings. Sugar cookie gloves. And a cinnamon roll hat!
They smell like cookies!
Was also inspired by my object head based OC, Ginger!
She's very toasty, literally! She loves snow, but it always melts around her because shes quite warm! Her love language is baking, you'll never have to worry about a bad meal with her! Just be prepared for lots, and lots of sweets and baked treats!
She has a very faint glow in the dark, like a fire place!
They don't eat often themself though ^^"

So technically, buddhist monks are not supposed to marry or have romantic or sexual relationships. Normally, the fact Wukong has a mate and is traveling with him while he is acting as a pilgrim under the tutelage of a buddhist monk would automatically disqualify him from enlightenment and break his oaths...
Luckily for him, Macaque is a master at loopholes, and Wukong never actually swore to become Buddhist, merely that he'd protect and learn from one. It also helps that his Master fully supported the relationship, Tripitaka had never thought he'd see his mot troubling pilgrim so happy and affectionate even after all those years and meeting his family on FFM
Tbf the Gautama Buddha was married (Yaśodharā) and had son (Rahula). He straight up abandoned them shortly after his son was born in his quest for enlightenment. His wife became a female arhat but never forgave him for abandoning her and their child.
Wukong having his Egg, and having a partner who abandoned him, accidentally makes him a mirror to the Buddha's wife. Except unlike the Enlightened One; Macaque came back and stayed.
Wukong technically not promising to be a monk is hilarious to me, since while he might not be a "true" buddha - he'd be considered a Bodhisattva/Demi-God like dear mama Guanyin. The "Victorious Fighting Bodhisattva" if you will.
Also him, Bajie, Wujing, and Ao Lie frequently break Buddhist no-nos throughout the book. There's a scene during the Dr Sun Wukong chapter where the Tripitaka straight up tells his diciples to get drunk in his place.
Also dont tell me that Bajie wouldn't put up a fight over the rules about not eating onions or garlic (apparently monks arent allowed cus it "produces hormones" aka makes you flirty). He'd pout harder over onions more than meat.
Macaque would straight up refuse any buddhist titles if offered at the end of the Journey. Get that out of his face. He's just Macaque. He learned his lesson back when he tried calling himself "Great Sage Informing Wind". I love the thought of him pulling out reciepts in case anyone tries arguing that Wukong is breaking buddhist vows.
Tripitaka is a poor celibate monk/divine-bug dealing with a pair of diciples in permanent honeymoon-mode for the next 14-17 years. And he thought dealing with Bajie's lustful nature was bad enough, now he has to deal with the Pig's drunken, envious wails for his own spouse to come smooch him.
But the Great Monk ultimately approves of Wukong's relationship with Macaque. Not only because it keeps the monkey calm and gives him and extra bodyguard, but because Wukong is genuinely happy with his mate. The Wukong of now - cuddling and feeding his mate fruits - is a far cry from the tiger-crushing beast that greated Tripitaka at the mountain.
Now if Tripitaka could find a polite way of telling the monkeys to please stop kissing while the monk tries to meditate?

lmao i almost got fooled into some sort of religion today.
so, a few weeks ago, these people from a church called “the church of god” was talking to people on the streets abt their church and introducing them and stuff. and i was stopped by one of them. the two people who explained their church to me were fellow uni students and very sweet and kind. after weeks of ditching and running away from a word i gave to check out their church, i decided to go today. the two girls introduced me to their church, some bible verses, how it was scientifically proven and has prophecies that came true and stuff. i went inside completely open minded but the way the one girl immediately went, “okay go and prepare the baptism things” to the other was what caught me off guard. they called in a senior member, told me how my soul would be ‘saved’ from the lake of fire by going through baptism and shit and even brought a baptism resume for me to fill out without telling me about it beforehand.
i thought it would be just a simple introduction to their religion, church, what they do and stuff and yet they almost manipulated me into becoming one of their followers without letting me know. they didn’t even explain to me that they would give me resume to fill out after explaining abt their religion to me and shit. and the part that made me lowkey resentful was that they wouldn’t accept my no as an answer. i don’t mean to be mean or disrespect any religion, but if this is how people are gonna act and try to forcefully take someone into their religion, how do they not expect to get some lash backs???
