We'll turn the asteroid belt into ball bearings to go between different rings orbiting at different speeds.

Estimating Twisted Wonderland's Circumference ONCE AND FOR ALL

howdy. In this post, I once attempted to figure out the circumference of Twisted wonderland. Instead, I failed, and just went mad collecting screenshots of random spheres that weren't/might be globes modeling the planet.

that's not important. What IS important is the rant about the map that we DO have that followed. y'see, it looks like this.

Tilted. Cropped. Incomplete. Utterly infuriating. Anyway, we're gonna be working with my SUPERIOR map projection for this theory post.

yeah it's literally just tilted so that North points straight up. There's almost no way to really tell what latitude location is or how large it is compared to the rest of the world... EXCEPT...

...FOR THE CLIMATES.

it's pretty easy to label the middle section as "temperate," since summers are hot, winters are snowy, and every other season is pretty comfortable.

The northern parts of the Coral Sea can be determined as arctic or near-arctic, because Azul and the tweels don't bother being there during the winter due to the ice covering the water's surface. The furthest south that winter sea ice extends on earth is the coast of Hokkaido, Japan, at 43 degrees north.

Last but not least, as Sunset Savanna is based on the setting of the lion king, that makes it a tropical savanna. The most northern tropical savanna on earth is the Terai–Duar savanna at the base of the Himalayas in India, at 27 degrees north.

Therefore, this whole (VERY inexact) area I marked on this map that holds the temperate zone is around 16 degrees of Twisted Wonderland's latitude, possibly more.

Now, we don't exactly have a giant perfect ruler that we can use for reference. but we DO have the next best thing: Sage's Island!

And 16 degrees of Twisted Wonderland's latitude seems to beeee…

22 Sage's Islands long!

So this lil island is about 0.727 degrees long.

Now, I'm none too confident in my island-length-guessing ability. So i gotta say Sage's Island is like... maybe 3 miles long, north to south.

Soooo... 3 miles is 0.727 degrees in Twisted Wonderland.

That means 1 degree is 4.126 miles.

And that means the full 360 degrees of Twisted Wonderland's circumference is... drumroll please...

...

1,485.36 miles/2390.46 kilometers.

Give or take, I mean. I'm not a scientist. I don't even play Twisted Wonderland.

PLEASE understand that is a TINY amount. Earth's circumference is 40,075.017 km. PLUTO has a circumference of 7,231 km. Twisted wonderland is smaller than Pluto.

We were ROBBED of Yuu being capable of jumping 50 feet in the air due to the weaker gravity.

While the trick-or-treating comic was very cute, I cannot imagine Vasco not being a little treat kinda guy

Are you telling me he doesn't randomly buy himself candy just for the dopamine and the child-like joy? That he doesn't indulge on halloween spirit and buy spooky candy just for him and Machete?? (who barely eats it but halloween spirit comes first, practically second)

extra fucked up pics of mick mars for ur viewing pleasure

[yume-fanfare]

and im not particularly a fan of chase scenes, they put me so on edge, but it's exactly what little goody two shoes is missing, just one more chase scene. some sort of consequence for backing out in the happy endings, a final evil trying to get you, so that having your happy ending with your beloved feels truly satisfying. like something you've fought for, worth throwing everything else you've suffered over the past week

Still thinking about this

As I went to Paris really last minute and totally unannounced (long live flat-hunting and sightseeing), I took the opportunity to visit two museums - the Louvre and Orsay - as they are free with the education pass and for under-26s. The Musée d'Orsay is a museum showing works from the 19th century, so I thought I'd share a few photos of works for HL fandom artists to use as inspirations/references 🤷🏻‍♀️

Sorry about the quality and framing of the photos, it was very busy in the museums 🥲

And sorry if these works are well known (I know the artists are but I didn't know these works at all)

1. James Tissot, Evening, 1878

2. Franx Xavier Wintheralter, Portrait of Madame Rimsky-Korsakov, 1864

3. Pierre Auguste Renoir, City Dance, 1883

4. Giovanni Boldini, Count Robert de Montesquiou, 1897

5. Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Femme de profil, 1896

And from the Louvre museum (All right, it's not 19th century, but anyway):

6. Agnolo di Cosimo di Mariano Tori, dit BRONZINO, Portrait of a Young Man Holding a Statuette, 1550?

7. Salon and period furniture in the Louvre

I don't know if this will help anyone, but you never know 😶

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO BEST GIRL🎉🎉🎉🎉💚💚💚💚💚💚

[daryascurse]

sweet darya I am here with 🧃❄️🧩 for the writers ask game!!

:)))) oooomgg hehe thank you for asking me THREE!

🧃 ⇢ share some personal lore you never posted about before.

I actually don't talk about this, but English is not my first language. I don't like to talk about my specific cultural composition or where I am/ my family has spread to be for several reasons, but, I am differing levels of competent at-least-conversational fluency in what I would say is 4 languages, and I want to learn so many more.

❄️ ⇢ what's your dream theme/plot for a fic, and who would write it best?

ooooh MAAAN I have so many little percolating concepts... that i think ANY moot could do if they felt comfy (I don't want to put anyone on the spot in any way). I have had a years long Google Drive folder of drafts/ research for a Victorian-era love triangle where Reader is married to Eren but having an affair with Zeke. And idk I have it literally outlined more than any other WIP I have in progress or have ever worked on, honestly, but I just can't ever actually get myself to progress on it. If anyone feels inspired to take up that mantle, I am okay with it lol.

🧩 ⇢ what will make you click away from a fanfiction immediately?

I'm going to be hopefully not rude here but I have a few. .. I am not, personally, a fan of first-person x reader fics; while of course any "reader" stand-in will have tastes of the author and an original character, and I understand that "you" is not everyone's cup of tea, the "I" feels too much like another character entirely. I guess the parallel argument can be made for "you" fics that it's hard to immerse oneself if the "you" is not doing things you would do or thinking the way you would think, but "I" feels even more impersonal, which is not why I (personally) go for x reader fics. Same goes for "y/n," ... I respect its place in fandom history and the personal growth of a reader but it immediately puts me in the headspace of being in 6th grade sneaking a read of Tokyo Mew Mew yuri lemons on fanfiction.net.

Also - I really don't mean to offend. But when a fic very overtly obviously takes place in Japan and there's something just jarringly wrong with realities or social customs or logistics.. I can't do it. And I feel bad about that because I don't mean to be snooty, and some stuff really is not going to be intuitively known or easily found through research if you don't know what to look for. That's totally fair. But I just can't read that or immerse myself in that and honestly it's usually pretty evident right off the bat where it's egregious.

WRITERS ASK GAME QS

…ok so hi sorry for completely disappearing yet again and I’m kind of late w/ all the Koshien stuff but ANYWAYS here’s the covers for the new Liella subunit songs!! Not gonna lie,I didn’t expect them to just…casually preview these at the Koshien out of nowhere like when did they start doing this???Not that that’s bad,it just feels random cndjdj but I’m still excited tho 👀👀 we only got snippets,but just from those these sound WAY better than their debut tracks imo

(Also this may be too early to say,but just going off of the Koshien and the YouTube previews Jellyfish is by FAR my favorite - they’re all pretty solid tho)
