#but ive also seen theories about the headmaster being him so who knows if hes actually dead...

[gifti3]

Actually im wondering if the convo between lilia and meleanor went exactly like that since this is just a dream of past events

[veeveex3]

bro, just a quick late night thought (keep in mind, im only caught up to twst's story up to the english translation and only know about book 6 via spoilers -_- so if im wrong then please don't spoil anything that happens in book 5 part 3 and onwards)

alright, here it is: i don't think that twst is gonna end at book 7. i dunno if the devs ever said the story was gonna end at book 7 or not so correct me if im wrong but i feel like there's so much we don't know that i feel would only be rushed if the game's main story were to end at the end of book 7.

for example: anything about crowley! all we really know about him is that he's the headmaster, claims to be very generous and kind despite being a lazy prick who dumps all his issues on the dorm leaders + yuu, and seems to avoid getting yuu home at all cost, either cuz it's tiring for him (which would be funny but sorta disappointing) or cuz he needs them at nrc.

another example: mickey fucking mouse. i think the plot with mickey is gonna be resolved in book 7 but i still can't get over his existence (#antimickeyclub ig lol)

i know the whole point of the game is to focus on nrc and the villain students but id like to see more of royal sword academy. like, i think rn the main purpose of rsa is to juxtapose itself to nrc as well as to be the school niege comes from since he's based off of snow white and you get the point

ive seen one theory on tik tok (ill put their @ at the end of the post at a later date) or somewhere else but the theory goes that the reason as to why overblots seem to be happening so often is bc the stone you were trying to get in the prologue is inside nrc and probably affecting the students more. i wanna add onto this more by saying that overblots are deadly, meaning the spirit attacking you in the prologue is either the dead dwarves (yikes) or the spirit that appears after the overblot victims either fused with the dwarves or roaming free after the dwarves deaths. im really tired so idek where this is going but that's just another reason ig that the story would feel pretty empty after book 7 if it were to end there

another thing is malleus. assuming that he's going to be the next overblot victim and the final boss for his book, that would be really weird to end the book after that since, after defeating each book's boss, prologue included, grim (like the little dumbass cat he is) decided to eat the overblot residue rocks that are excreted at the end of the fight (which also give a flavor profile of the person who overblotted ??? which is sorta funny ngl). and im 1000% certain that this isn't just a read herring and him eating the rocks is going to lead to, as most people suspect, grim overblotting himself (during the tutorial, you even fight a boss that looks like grim but with characteristics of the other characters: dragon wings (malleus) more agressive blue flames (iida) a lion like face / muzzle (leona, which i know is a reach but still) as well as some of the abilities introduced in each book (idk i didn't really pay much attention to the tutorial lol)

so yeah, tldr; it doesn't make any sense to end twst's main story at book 7 unless they either add an epilogue where grim blots or at the blot sequence after malleus' boss fight, which would be pretty cool ngl, sorta like a little curve ball

im sorry this is so long, I just had a lotta thoughts and dumped them here lol

edit: I KNOW I JUST POSTED THIS BUT I JUST REMEMBERED SOMETHING! y'know how there's 22 students in the game? well, there's also 22 cards in the main arcana. given how clever the game can be, i don't this is just a coincidence. might make another post just on this specially since i like tarot cards and stuff like that

I’m copy pasting this from “i belong to you/ you belong to me”

Ive been binge reading the fic hehe

What I’d really like to see is the Slytherin squad reacting to Harry’s wards in his room and also Harry maybe playing quidditch (if that is something 4th years did then), also did the concept of familiars come later? Why doesn’t Harry have one?

Furthermore I think Harry could salvage his odd behaviour with the ghosts by bringing up the girl, telling the headmaster about her and if he’s convincing enough trading his secret with Orion for more information. If they think he’s had a ghost follow him I’d be much more plausible than being a whole nother person

If he went “yeah this ghost I talked about followed me to the hospital wing and tried to kill me and the professor probably saw her bloody face and freaked out and she’s a shade” would throw off some suspicion. Especially if the Baron visited him later and confirmed that she was a shade.

In addition, his sudden knowledge could easily be explained away with reading much more. He’s been sneaking off to the library so many times all he’d have to do is let one of the snake squad tail him and pick out some books related to his classes.

Also also, the sudden ability in raising shields could also be explained away with supposed paranoia from the r*pe and attempted s*cide, I mean who wouldn’t buy that an attacked student might want to learn protective charms?

Ah but Harry’s got such a temper on him I don’t think he’d go for any of these solutions if his idea is to get away and return to his old life! I love how he’s throwing these rich snobs off their game tho lmao Malfoy’s reaction was hilarious!

Love the world building btw! If Harry suddenly got a reputation for speaking to centaurs (and maybe even merpeople hehe) I’d be pretty funny if the snake squad finds him chilling with them

He really should play the whole “ive been reading about this” card way more tho lol

Love Orion as a character also, and I’ve been wondering if Hagrid might show up eventually? Harry deserves at least one friend that won’t try to backstab him T-T

Firstly, I’m glad you enjoyed the story. A lot of the things you bring up probably won’t make it into ybtm, purely because in the next two chapters things are pretty much going to explode in terms of events, and the plot line will start veering greatly. So because things like quidditch and Nathan’s familiar aren’t important to the plot I haven’t bothered including them.

As for explaining his increase in knowledge away, Harry’s only really been at Hogwarts for a week, and he only woke about a week before he got to Hogwarts. That’s not enough time to justify the incredible leap in his abilities. Sure, a few things could be explained by reading, but knowing the theory and being able to implement spells are completely different things. If it had been a month, maybe, but not a week. 

With the ghost situation, admitting to anything would bring a truly unwelcome amount of attention onto him. Even if he got the Baron explaining the difference between ghosts and shades, it would still beg the question why she attacked Nathan. There is, technically, nothing special about Nathan - so why would this shade, who no one had ever seen before or knew existed, suddenly decide to follow him and hurt him? How was he able to see her when no one can? How could she touch him when she couldn’t touch anyone else? In Harry’s eyes, it’s not worth providing any context. He’s too much of a paranoid bastard to try 😂

But beyond that, I’m happy you’ve liked what I’ve done so far with the world building and whatnot. Hagrid may or may not be included at a later date 💕
