Twisted Wonderland Humans are Built Different—

My Brain has Rotted out of my Ass and its all @broken-synchronicity, @twsty-lav, @naughtybodypillow 's fault.

I've had more than an epiphany, I had a post nut clarity. And now I'm gonna start throwing my ideas at the wall hoping that the shit sticks.

As we know, Merpeople, Beastmen, and Faeries all canonically exist in Twisted Wonderland (Sam's shop and his powers imply more but i can scream about him later)

What does this mean for humans? When you've got a 3 different apex predators throwing their weight around the humans of Twst were bound to develop as a means to catch up, don't even get me started on the prospect of families inheriting traits from their nonhuman forefathers.

As we know, from the sacred Twisted Wonderland texts. Rook Hunt is one Beefy Boyo. @leviskokoro said it best

"it said Rook weighs heavier than Trey despite his height. Trey is 5”11 and Rook is 5”8. The ideal weight for a 5”11 dude according to bmi is 155-189 lbs. But I’m not sure that bmi takes muscles into account so let’s say Trey weighs a little more than 189lbs.

Meaning Rook could possibly weigh higher than that as a 5”8 dude. I found that if you are pretty fit, you can have a heavier bow. The translation confirmed that Rook is fucking ripped under his clothes. And man pretty much breathes hunting. It’s in his name for Micheal Mouse’s sake!"

Now of course anybody could chalk this up to anime logic or even just being a gym bro, but we have to take into account the fact the Pomefiore breathes: "crouching beauty, hidden strength".

Not to mention the fact that Vil also has weights, knows various martial arts, and taught (forced) ballet lessons during the VDC/Pomefiore arc.

Let's focus on the ballet part, do you know how strong you gotta be to do ballet? Do you know how strong male ballet dancers are??

"Male ballet dancers jump three feet in the air fifty times a day. Their thigh muscles could cut a football player’s. They also have to lift ballerinas and hold their arms at ridiculous angles for ridiculous amounts of time sometimes. All ballet dancers are insanely strong because they work muscles that other athletes would never dream of and a lot of ballet dancers lift weights to tone on top of their regular dance schedule." Jaque Gowan, former Floor Associate. Answered Nov 8th, 2018 on "How Do I Prove Male Ballet Dancers Are Strong?" On Quora.com.

"To optimize strength without adding bulk, male ballet dancers use heavier weights with fewer repetitions in their workouts. They also focus on compound movements that improve their core muscles and increase stability while dancing. Male ballet dancers perform a well-rounded training program that improves their athletic performance and helps prevent injuries on-stage. Their entire fitness program focuses on creating long, lean muscles with enough strength and agility to remain in top shape for performances." Livestrong.com on "Male Ballet Dancers Do What Kind of Exercise?"

Let's not bring up the fact that he's an actor (although he's on a hiatus due to focusing on his studies).

Of course I'm basically screaming about a more experienced character whose disciplined himself enough to adapt to these types of strenuous things.

Which is where I pull out my Ace of Spades

Deuce Spade.

The best boy next to Jack Howl. Speaking of...

During the Savanaclaw arc Jack and Deuce went toe to toe with one another. Now a lot of yall might not have thought that it was significant to note due to pacing issues (that arc flew by fast as fuck) and overall wonky writing (they didn't dive deep into Leona the same way they did with Riddle, Azul, Jamil, or Vil which is a shame)

But thats not what I'm here to focus. The battle with Jack Howl was significant to me because ain't no way in hell is it possible for a boy that is literally 5'8" getting buck with a 6'2" wolf Therianthrope (i call them Therianthropes because that's the direct translation) and live to tell the tale.

Yeah, he led a gang of delinquents at the ripe age of 14 years old, probably got into plenty of fights but you cannot look me directly into my eyes and tell me this idiot could win against someone like that without magic.

I don't believe Jack held back either. He believes in a fair fight and his own way of justice there's no way he's holding back just because Deuce is a human or because he isn't using magic either.

The way I see it, if it were an average human going toe to toe with Jack, they'd be in the hospital.

Which where my theory comes in— In response to Fae, Merfolk, and Beastmen, humans evolved subtly to keep up.

What i mean by this is, Rook Hunt is strong enough to draw a long bow that weighs more than Trey (whose about 189-190lbs). Vil is capable of keeping up with Jack during their morning runs. (Wolves can run at speeds up to 31-37mph the average human sits at a meager 6.5— 8mph, you can't tell me Vil isn't a beast in these streets)

Rook Hunt literally scares his non-human classmates to the point where they don't even want to be in the same class as him. You can factor in his magic all you want but there's no denying that if you can scare Leona, forever second prince to Afterglow Savanah, you got some freaky shit going on and you need to be put on a watch list.

But I digress...

Without magic I'd assume the average human (not humans with magic they're in whole league of their own) can run around the same mph as Usain Bolt on a good day.

Listen... when you're competing with beastmen for food in prehistoric times, Greek gods that have nothing better to do, and the various unnamed monsters of TWST you've got to step it up or you're out of the game.

Better hearing, better eyesight (although that doesn't mean you can't get shafted by punnet squares and recessive traits, look at Trey!) And overall better stamina because twst!humans remained endurance predators.

Let's not bring up the fact that there might be nonhuman traits passed down, Jamil probably has some unknown snake beastmen trait allows him to adapt to poisons (and by proxy Vil because in order to become the Dormleader of Pomefiore you have to make a strong ass poison)

Now I'm not saying Jamil and Vil are poisonous and probably bond over that fact...

But.... the implications are there.
