Sasaki went to forgotten queen kingdom to see how it is

As it's is a middle easterners country but the design is a mix of middle east, Indian, Greek, and some gothic viking in design with some South African

As the queen did stop him and invite him to her castle and see outside is hot but inside is quite cool as she explain that the structure is similar to how termites made their mound and the country have majority in immigrants around the nearest area or nomads

As she give hints she is half from her mother and before he leaves she give him a tin of saphron and some gold jewelry, showing how rich her country is

-Kojiro was in awe as he entered your section of Valhalla, after hearing form Raiden and Soji how amazing it was, with such rich and immersive culture, as well as the abundance of wealth all around, nobody in your area was wanting for anything and always willing to share with others.

-Kojiro had only been in your kingdom for less than ten minutes and he was wearing a dark purple and gold silk shawl, had two different kinds of meat sticks in his hands, and had a new gold necklace around his neck, all gifts.

-He was a bit overwhelmed by the generosity of your people, looking around in awe before he heard a familiar voice call out his name and he turned, sighing softly in relief, seeing you walking up to him, a wide brimmed hat on your head, to shield you a bit from the sun.

-He greeted you and you smiled warmly, “Welcome to my home, come- I will show you around.”

-Kojiro spent the afternoon with you, walking around the replicas of monuments that were built in your kingdom, massive buildings, fountains, community gardens, everything was so full of life and not one person looked upset, everyone had smiles on their faces.

-You smiled at Kojiro’s slight shock, “Come my friend, I will make you some tea.” He was grateful for the break, following you back to your home, which was beautiful, covered in hanging vines and flowers.

-Once inside in the shade and relaxing in your pillow pit with you, a cup of lemon tea in his hands, Kojiro started to gush, amazed at your home, telling you all the things that he had seen.

-You smiled warmly at him, halting his rambling which made him cough awkwardly into his hand, a bit embarrassed before you gave him a grin, “This is what it was like when I was alive, this is how I ruled. Nobody had to want for anything, and everyone always had enough to share.”

-Kojiro’s eyes softened lightly, giving you a small nod, “That’s why you’re so amazing- you always take care of others.”

-You couldn’t help but beam at his praise, which made him chuckle as he finished his tea.

-As he was leaving, he had a new sword, a tin of saffron tea, and another silk shawl, from your personal collection as you waved him off, “Come visit soon.” He waved at you, smiling warmly, he knew he would be back, not just to see your amazing home, but to see such a kind person like you again.

Vampires being Southern confederates in the American pop culture tradition makes so much sense to me logically. Not saying that I don't believe it's propaganda, because it absolutely is. But planter vampires and confederate vampires (Jasper, Damon, Lestat, Louis, Bill Compton) make a lot of sense in the American context, as much as aristocratic and “Old World” vampires make sense in the British context.

If vampires are inherently Gothic, then vampires must symbolize and personify the vestiges of a long-gone past – one which only simmers to life from far below the surface when it’s time to reveal the horrors, or the romance, of what is usually an oft-forgotten history. In 19th-century Britain, through vampire short stories and novellas, and later Dracula, vampires evoked the (misunderstood and misappropriated) time of the Goths. This, in turn, brought to readers’ minds images of towering castles, the superstition of Eastern Europe, and the so-called barbarism of the Old World, that which was made to appear antiquated in its monstrosity and secret imperialist desires. (*sarcastic voice*) The Old World was so at odds with enlightened, modern, industrializing Britain! It’s no wonder that vampires in British literature took the forms of counts, noblemen, and princes – they were the conspiring, powerful leaders of the Old World, or the medieval world, or some forgotten pre-Industrial feudal world.

And if we are to apply this concept of what vampires should represent for the United States, it only makes perfect sense that vampires would be planters and confederates. Slavers, planters, and confederate fighters also evoke the Old America, conjuring images of Southern chivalry, the great Antebellum, and the humble pioneers of this free nation of God and goodness and prosperity! And then the confederates got their ass beat really bad. And they could only hold on to these romantic images of that former “honour and glory” through propagation of the Lost Cause myth. What better vehicle to wield this romanticisation of, yunno, the defense of chattel slavery than through vampire softbois?! Immortal beings who symbolize the survival and resilience of the Antebellum South through time. Why don’t we make them hot guys who were just protecting the South in our pop culture? Sure. If the vestiges of America’s long-gone past are slavery and genocide and, uh, chivalric Southern honour, then vampires do a pretty effective job of reminding us of this horrifying/romantic (you choose here) history. Spoiler alert: it’s horrifying.

Sitting on the bus looking out the window and thinking Ethel Cain would enjoy this. I'm never not thinking about the aesthetic similarities and differences between southern gothic and eastern europe "core" if that's what they call it. I usually don't like the concept of eastern europe core or aesthetic or whatever because it's almost never done with good intentions and deeper understanding. I don't like that we film our poverty for westerners to fetishize and I also don't like it when it's a picture of a building that's more functional safe and accesible than anything americans will ever build and they're in the comments like "omg prison nigtmare apocalypse depression". I wonder if people from the south of the us feel the same way sometimes. What's redish brown in southern gothic is gray in ee and catholicism is orthodox christianity and wood is concrete but that feeling of despair, we're doomed forever, you're never getting out, endless green fields and rivers and loneliness that makes people go a bit mad and poverty and alcoholism and abuse being more or less everyday things. Yeah

Where would the twisted wonderland locations be in real world?

Has this post been done before..? I don't know.

Now, let's get the easier things out of the way.

Scalding sands are obviously somewhere in Arabic country. In the Wikipedia for Aladdin, it states that it is a middle Eastern tale.. The clothes seem similar to that of an Arabic country. Turquoise colour is however, often used in over here turkey, but... Turkey is not an Arabic country.. It is stated that Jasmine's clothes were inspired by South Asian clothing... In the wiki it states that Agrabah was also inspired by ottoman empire, the silk city's camel bazaar seems similar to that of an bazaar over here. Hm.. I think that it might be based off of Afghanistan, it isn't fun fitting at all, and I'm just throwing it off there, but it is definitely somewhere similar to there and ottoman empire.

City of flowers is, without a doubt, based off of France. Noble bell college is based off of the Notre-Dame de Paris, more specifically, île de la Cité, an island in the Seine River(this part was taken straight out of the Wikipedia article for Notre-dame de Paris). There isn't much more to say about it, as it was rather easy to find out about it.

Queendom of roses is probably based off of United Kingdom, as the original novel it is based off of was written in england(believe me I will have to do this. A lot.), in November of 1865. From what I was able to see in the manga, the architecture seems to be more modern, along with the clothes as well. That would make anyone from there... British, take that how you will.

Now.. Onto the trickier parts.

Sunset savana, it obviously takes place in.. A savanas. Savanas seem to be most common in northern Australia and probably in Africa, looking at the cards in the Japanese server, the clothes for the sunset savana seems to be resembling that of traditional African clothes, but I might be wrong on this I'm sorry, but I strongly believe that is the case! I am not too sure on the exact country though, probably somewhere similar to Nigeria as the clothes seem to be similar.

Coral Sea, I.. Genuinely don't know. I can't even track anything down aside from going with where the original tale of the little mermaid was written, which is probably Denmark? So... Danish fish mafia???? I don't know??? Azul's name means blue in Spanish and Portuguese, and Floyd means grey and grey-haired in Welsh???? I don't know, I'm confused now.

Shaftlands, it is.. Probably based off of either Germany or somewhere that speaks English, since Cater's last name is english and jack is either english or French, however, if I go off of where Snow White is written from, it's Germany, and the most memorable character from there is vil, who's last name is "schöenheit" which means beauty in German, so... It's probably based from Germany.

•harvest town is... Also in shaftlands, it's probably based off of a town in Germany, I don't know. Epel's last name, felmier, means farmer in Romanian and such, his first name epel sounds similar to the German word for apple, apfel.

Island of woe, another tone.. Where I just don't know. It is definitely based off of Greece for sure, as Idia's name means reserved, private and such, meanwhile his last name comes from the Latin word shroud, which is the name for a cloth that is used to cover over the face of the dead. Ortho means unharmed, safe and such, and plus, the name of the S.T.Y.X is probably based off of the Styx river in the Greek mythology that connects the earth to the underworld.

Briar valley, now.. Another one that is hard to settle for, however, if we go off with how daisomnia looks, it's probably somewhere in Gothic Victorian time, since daisomnia looks like a Gothic Victorian castle, going off of cars and such aren't used in Briar valley, it makes me fully believe that it is mostly based off of the Victorian era. The names... Malleus is the name of a well knows witchcraft, and his last name is, according to the fandom wiki, is deprived off of the words dragon or devil in Romanian and such. Gothic Victorian architecture seems to be most popular in Europe, we don't know much about the Briar valley sadly, but sleeping beauty the fairytale was originally written in.. French.

The final matches, this is all speculations on my part and this was for fun!

City of flowers-france

Queendom of roses-united kingdom

Sunset savana-africa, Nigeria

Coral sea-i... I don't know...

Scalding sands-an Arabic country/probably somewhere in South Asia, possibly Afghanistan

Shaftlands-germany

Island of woe-greece

Briar valley-france/possibly Romania, somewhere in Europe.

The Parish Church of Cacela Velha, also known as Church of Our Lady of Assumption (Nossa Senhor da Assunção).

This catholic temple can be considered a fine example of the Renaissance Architecture of the eastern Algarve - the obv ious highlight is its front portal, that follows an aesthetic language that became very common in the South of Portugal during this period. However, the primitive version of this temple is not from the Renaissance period - it's from the mid-XIII Century (and that means that, initially, this was a Gothic church).
