Heres a messy crossover sketch of Madoka magica x Twst wonderland! It's been stuck in my brain but I don't think I can do the witch-style justice with my skills ;-;

the continued ambiguity about stan's cipher wheel symbol is something i think about often

the fez is mentioned as belonging to the royal order of the holy mackerel, but the symbol itself was never named directly, made even more notable with bill calling the rest of his family by their symbols; pine tree, shooting star, question mark, six fingers... and tbob + the website really emphasizes this difference even more

while bill doesn't call gideon by his zodiac symbol either, even gideon's is called "the tent of telepathy sign" by other characters, and robbie's referred to as his hoodie (the only ones not directly mentioned in the cipher wheel scene is ford's and stan's.... and also the llama.)

it's pretty infamous that the fez symbol's redesign happened unceremoniously mid season and was retconned to it always being the new version in flashbacks and in the cipher wheel

and while fan names i've seen have been stuff like fez, fish, clam, oyster or mac (this one i prefer the most honestly), it's never really mentioned that it also looks like the shriners symbol simplified and on its side

(at least from the tweets i've seen) it's interesting that when alex tweets out character stuff and symbolizes them via emoji, it's usually their zodiac symbol with stan being the exception, being represented by money, but also by glasses and boxing gloves for lost legends teaser

(also before anyone gets too worried, the polls mentioned here is stan voting for mcgucket for president cos he's enamoured by free death robots and ford is voting against cos he thinks it's bad for mcgucket's heart pressure)

Is that canon!?! Was Machete just really naive/didn't really understand the implications of his relationship to Vasco? Did his mentor ever find out about them or discuss such things with him? I assume bc he didn't have parents, he kinda didn't get educated on sex or anything. Was it a big shock to realize he was "sinning"?

So do you have any ff7 language and accent headcanons?

MY LINGUIST HEART IS EXPLODING TY yes ofc I do let’s see…and I’ll almost assuredly be talking cultural hcs too because language and culture are inextricably entwined

I’ll start with Banora/Mideel (I am much more familiar with Banora) since I mentioned that most recently! That area gives me such uk vibes, especially Banora. Not to mention that Genesis already has such a borderline posh voice. I like to hc that Reeve comes from somewhere around there and that Cait Sith’s voice is his native accent! But then I am torn because with the Rhapsodos family…greek names…ancient greek values and similarities displayed in Genesis and Angeal…so tempting. So I kind of imagine Banora at least as kind of a mix of those cultures (which would work pretty well I think, I know of quite a few overlaps in values between homeric and anglo-saxon values, and greek folklore does give me a similar vibe to celtic folklore) (ah you see there I go, using language and culture interchangeably already)! Ancient Greek at least is a very lyrical-sounding language (it’s theorized that the different accents were used to show differences in pitch) and I feel like it would fit perfectly in Genesis’ voice especially! Also I like to hc that his parents’ names are Peleus and Thetis for the Achilles reference >:)

For Gongaga and Nibelheim I’m more mainstream, love the Zack speaking Spanish and Cloud speaking Old Norse hcs so much! Don’t have much else to say about Gongaga, wonderful as is. Nordic Nibelheim is so special to me bc people always conflate ‘norse’ with vikings when that’s so not all there is ;-; there’s the Vanir as well as the Aesir! And even just thinking about it for so little time rn the Fenrir myth does fit him

Wutai is meant to be based off Japan (I’m fairly sure, I know so much less than I should about that part of the world so anyone feel free to add on). I do love that—people who have different first languages actually think differently, because their brains learn to process and codify things differently based on what the grammar of their language focuses on and how their words are constructed and so forth (it’s very much a chicken or the egg type situation). And with Japanese being in an entirely different language family, the breakdowns in communication that can occur due to people not doing enough research on the differences in cultural thought can be massive and disastrous. Which works so realistically well for the whole Shinra vs Wutai conflict.

As for Midgar, cities are often little islands dialect and accent wise. Lots of different accents and languages and dialects from all over the place mixing together to create something new. I like to hc that being surrounded by so many conflicting accents Sephiroth can mimic them pretty well, even though Hojo tried to knock everything out of him but the ‘normal’ ‘educated’ accent (there is no such thing as not having an accent. Your speech is marked inherently by being different from another person’s speech). Hehehe I like to imagine that spending so much time with Genesis and Angeal and actually liking and wanting to be like them he’s picked up quite a few Banoran mannerisms :) like me when I lived in the uk for a few months and suddenly now I say “you’ve not” instead of “you haven’t” and still pronounce “vase” and “island” weird take me back there nowwwww
