Deeva Årud - Tsumsted Wonderland Voice Lines

Summon Line: Pointy ears, wings, freckles and blue marks under its eye… it really looks like me. What a strange situation.

Groooovy!!: Apparently, this tsum feels relaxed when I cover it with my wings.

Home: By some unexpected turn of events, there’s two Deevas now. It’s okay, we won’t cause you any trouble.

Home Idle 1: You want to hold my tsum? That’s going to be complicated… Don’t worry, you won’t be hit, but it’ll fly away if you try to approach it. Until it warms up to you, I’m afraid it won’t let you touch it.

Home Idle 2: When I was about to start my violin practice, I looked back at my tsum and found it holding a tsum-sized violin. It took me by surprise. Where did it get that from? And how could it play with those tiny arms?

Home Idle 3: My tsum was helping me convince my club members to practice a song together, but then Kalim brought out a box of pastries his family gifted him. I can’t believe its curiosity also succumbed to those delicious foreign snacks…

Home Idle - Login: Back at the dorm, someone thought my tsum was just a regular plushie because of how still it is. As soon as he stretched his hand towards it, it took flight. The shriek he let out hurt my ears but I still find the scene amusing.

Home Idle - Groovy: Hovering over a salmon dish and hopping around my cup of jasmine tea… well, it’s supposed to represent me, I wouldn’t have expected less. Unfortunately, I doubt it can eat any of that.

Home Tap 1: Even if tsums can’t talk, Sebek’s does a spectacular job at showing its loud personality using just body language.

Home Tap 2: Cater’s tsum constantly follows my tsum to show it photos and music on its phone. It seems his tsum also took a liking to mine, huh? It reminds me of when we were first years… Not that he stopped doing that now, though.

Home Tap 3: It seems my tsum and Jack’s bonded over cacti. It was heartwarming seeing them quietly observing plants together.

Home Tap 4: Floyd’s tsum went on “bored mode” while I was doing my shift at Mostro Lounge. I spent several minutes picking it up from the chairs so the customers could get a seat.

Home Tap 5: Tsums are cute. But the fact that they came down from the sky, looking and acting like us is a bit eerie. It sounds like the plot of a horror movie.

Home Tap - Groovy: I can’t help but think about the place tsums come from. Is everything made of round and squishy materials? Stacking can also scare away predators? Wait, do you even have predators? …Hm, no reaction, I may be wrong.

[intern-seraph]

playful land presents such genuinely baffling themes and throughlines that i am rendered speechless in its wake. why is "SCHOOL IS COOL!" a theme for this event when the more important thing should be the human trafficking. why do they intersperse tense moments with "you should go to class! there's so many good things about going to school!"

like, if the audience for this game was younger... well, it probably wouldn't be the same game, but the VERY hamfisted "stay in school" message would make more sense. but, like, this kind of game is targeted towards older teens and young adults. people who are finishing secondary, are high school graduates, college students, and college graduates. this kind of theme is so bizarre.

also, it is strongly implied that there are no public school systems in twisted wonderland??? like, is there NO nation that has free public education??? why does fellow honest/ernesto foulworth (what a name lmao) believe that high school is for rich kids only?? what the fuck is going on??? WHY IS THIS SOMEHOW MORE IMPORTANT TO THE EVENT THAN THE ORGANIZED HUMAN TRAFFICKING RING??????

[jinxthejubilee]

I'm sorry, but the fact that some of ya'll saw a fox character and your first thought was "Nick Wilde" makes me seriously question your level of simpage and your Disney knowledge.

The theme is puppets.

There's a cat character with him. Unless I'm blind, I've seen not single rabbit character with him.

Dude's name is "FELLOW HONEST" like Honest John!

How could you think it was Zootopia?!

[letmedisolveintomoss]

*visibly shaking* I'm so normal about the Harveston event. I'm not at all being a little freak fanning over Epel and the autism squad. Nope. I'm so VERY normal about this event.

[primordialruin]

While I am aware that the Burney Relief's identity is still being debated, I'm gonna personally go with it representing Lilith. I primarily want to associate lions and owls with her due to the lions being depicted as worshipping her (as I have read that in ancient mesopotamia, lions were mostly depicted with their mouths open, but this instance has them with their mouths closed in submission). My interpretation will have this add to her Lady of the Beasts epithet. The owl is simply due to her representing night birds.

Dumb question but you keep mentioning how Carmen broke the window and I don't really get it, could you elaborate.

Its really not a dumb question LOL

I think im the only one who freaks out with that specific phrase when i mean

SHORT VERSION:

The absolute iconic way they framed the way carmen breaking the window in the himalayas

I relish the dramatic way its framed and how beautiful it looks that his face is so red compared to the rest of the episode and the shards of glass bite at the edges while she says goodbye and he does his little :( 

But personally it feels like a layered decision when it come to both carmen and gray’s mentalities to visualize it as a break in a window

And even if it wasn’t its layered TO ME!!!!!

And thats just how my brain words it lol

LONG VERSION

You know what’s real cool? Gray was stuck in that little room. stuck with professor maelstroms version of who he was since he was VILE aligned and his own convictions on who he is

and the window plays a bit part in it?

His memories of carmen on the kiwi date telling him he’s a good person  [even tho after his memories return he accepts he’s not] are from him zoning out while looking at his reflection in the window

And then maelstrom projecting the memories of who he was in between the window and him and AGAIN carmen’s memory interrupts and breaks him out of his solemn acceptance of “darkness” and “authority” that the VILE memories and Rorschach test riles up in him

Because why oh why does someone as good as carmen exist there?

she literally shouldn't be anywhere near there yet she is???

And the final time the big old window is his backdrop to reclaiming Crackle while admitting that he DIDN’T want to kill her, it was the thing he actually perceives as WRONG WRONG WRONG since its the only thing he regrets doing on VILE’s orders

and a part of him even hopes that care he has will not have to leave the room if she will just stop

AND SHE BREAKS THE WINDOW!

The real her is there, saying goodbye and HIS FACE FALLS!

she broke it!

the world isn’t just VILE and him 

It's her too. 

Its not just that little room and all he knows in there!!! 

No he doesn’t just get to chalk it down as something he can run away from

A small precious part he can ignore as something in the past

some happenstance friendship that doesn't matter anymore

He hated hurting her but she will always exist in the world alongside VILE as long as its there for her to fight…

For him to…o.o do what crackledude?

choices are coming

VILE exists and he chose that, chose crackle!

But carmen exists too!

SHE BROKE THE WINDOW!!!

SHE SAID BYE GRAY!!!! AND HIS! FACE! FELL!

Carmen isn’t just a fabricated memory or an anomaly in what he knows! She’s there!!!

And she broke the space where he’d been assembling everything he chose to be more open to include the outside!!!!!

SHE EXISTS IN HIS BRAIIIIIN!!!!!!

SHE WILL CONTINUE TO EXIST OUTSIDE OF THE ROOM!!!!

AND IT STILL HURTS A LITTLE!!! DOESNT IT!!!!!!

THAT CHOOSING VILE IS CHOOSING GOODBYEEEEEEEE!!!!

[Extra fun.]

You know this moment where she tells gray off about how stealing isn’t a game? Especially when lives are on the line and he side glances at the window?And again how he was just facing that window before carmen tries to call him back ?

…

Because he doesn’t regret anything ?? feel bad enough about anything to change for the better?

…but she broke the window. His only regret is literally right there on de window .

SHE’S RIGHT-

SHE BROKE THE WINDOW!!!!

[Extra extra fun]

 You remember how carmen has no problems roundhousing him if he’s gonna be so rude [try and kill her] and the window doesn’t break and thus creates a neat little barrier between the criminal she lets get caught and her just returning to her new routine?

But we get the small brainwashing arc and that barrier fakes a disappearance?

Only for the truth to come back [he isn't gonna get magicked into being a good guy just so carmen can make the thing separating them something nobler she could accept]

And if he’s gonna make terrible choices well then he’s made his choice and they’ll go separate ways again

BUT THIS TIME SHE BROKE THE WINDOW!

SHE CAN TELL HIIM ITS OVER! GOOD!BYE!

And yet she’s less triumphant when she looks back? And has to acknowledge that distance and that follows her into her life for a second

there's a crack now in how she treats the fact of their estrangement 

A little more honestly [imo] than how she was initially gonna act like

The opera episode gave her that little room to say “I thought i lost him for good but this could be -” and now when the answer is still “we are enemies” she actually can’t just patch up the barrier between them as easily!!!

not when she saw that second chance and wanted it!

Not when she went there with so much hope no matter how misled it might've been [she’s soooooo not normal at all for this its great]

She’s looking back even as she’s saying goodbye on that broken window!

And then it happens again! tho to be fair in VERY different circumstances, conditions, etc.

She’s over it!

She can even kill him with no hesitation and even a bitter little remark at how this is on him because he’s a little traitor

…

AND SHE! BREAKS! THE ! WINDOW!

ON HER WAY OUT!

And when here memories are out she’s stuck with just that window

Like the show doesn’t even let her go to his body omfg

its

Not a break like gray on the train where its him trying to kill her and her rightfully defending herself that cools the relationship quickly into its most simple core of you are my enemy!

[but neither has broken through the actual barrier of what's nestled deep in them ->they do care they both just have some growing to do to accept this in a healthier way butthatsnotthepointimsorryi-]

Not a break like VILE did in the jail where she can separately mourn that its them who keeps getting in between her rescuing* him

Its …her.

SHE! BROKE! THE! WINDOW!

SHE BROKE IT! SAYING IT DIDN’T MEAN A THING!!

BEING SINGLE MINDED ON A GOAL AND GIVING HIM WHAT SHE THOUGHT HE DESERVED* AND HITTING THE ROAD! CAUSE SHE CAN LIVE WITH IT! RIGHT????

Gray as who she wanted him to be the most is who she killed and ran away through a broken window

gray the vile agent

gray her failed rescue mission

gray who changed but had done something horrible once upon a time and that hurt came back to haunt them

And this is a carmen who already in normal version was betraying the fact that she wasn’t ok with him being gone

[and imo dark!carmen throwing the crackle in his face was a betrayal of hurt too]]

AND IT BREAKS HER HEART! SHE KILLED HIM!

HE’S ON THE OTHER SIDE OF A WINDOW SHE BROKE IN HER GRAND GETAWAY AND SHE THINKS SHE CAN’T UNDO WHAT HAS BEEN DONE!

IT BROKE IT BROKE! 

The broken window is as close as she gets to him at that moment.

Of course. It would be devastating to her.

any mask that she could cobble together that "losing gray isn't that bad for her" is just like ----aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

...and i dieeeeeeeee

-> sorry i rambled but the breaks in the windows also mean TO ME!!! that carmen is also having a shift in her thinking slightly as well

she's always been pretty bummed to part with gray but the window breaks feel like no. carmen i- i think pretending its just how it be is... its kinda deeper than that for her no matter how strong she has to be at whatever moment to move on for now

she broke the barrier, she can't pretend she's actually accepted it in any type of ok way no matter what led to the separation happening

Extra extra extra fun detail fun for me

The window kinda looks like a broken crackle rod to me with the way its a light green strip in the middle of 2 dark strips lol

based on last Halloween event occurances, I want to place my bets that someday we'll get some sort of cult arc where weird dark magic wizards want to bring to earth the spirit of Chernabog or something
