#with chapter 5

[jacksmusesdrv3]

Currently on page 90 of this blog in the deepest of rabbit, er, bear...? holes over this game. Coincidentally I was watching BSG's playthrough when I found this page, and you've managed to completely sell me on your twins theory even if I don't think the game actually meant it I love this theory and it's Canon to me now. I'd love to talk to you more about....Basically everything you've talked about here if you're interested.

Oh- hello! Sorry to answer like this and late- unfortunately I am very overwhelmed and Stuck at this moment in time (with... just about everything on here, even talking in any depths) so that may be a struggle at least right now. At times like these I will just be in the 'vibe' zone for a bit trying to get necessary fuel back (through BSG for one, also doing playlists and absorbing fan-works)-

-but as I am right now I will be crashing into walls forever if I don't sort this issue out (one issue is with summarising- it's why I started again to make a smaller version of the long-meta but... got stuck on that). I'm very sorry ;; but thank you for sharing that with me! I do appreciate knowing this, that's very cool to know~

( Note: I've saved the other ask for the moment in the inbox as I'm not sure if you want that posted or not? :0 )

(I love drawing Jamil's grabby hands when he's upset lol)

(Book5 spoilers incoming!)

No but on a more serious note. I focused on Jamil here coz my boi just can't catch a break, but the truth is that Book5, for as much as I love it, really doesn't have a satisfying ending.

It's not a matter of "we lost" and me being salty about it, obviously it was very important for Vil's character arc.

Buuuuut... Well, it wasn't the only character arc started in this Book. All previous Books were (mostly) completely focused on the overblotter and the previous overblotter that joined the frayed to help out. Here we don't just have a continuation of Jamil's character arc, there was also Epel and Deuce who got a big thing, and Kalim had a throwaway line that never got anywhere (and I'm salty about it. I wished we heard more about how he felt competitiveness towards Jamil for the first time).

In the context of Jamil and Epel's character arc mostly, losing the SDC is extremely unsatisfying. Jamil finally got handed the spotlight and accepted it, and he still failed. Even when he get the one thing he wants he still ends second. Nothing changes. Rip my forever Number Two loser.

Epel also got a whole arc about accepting to weaponize his cuteness. It falls flat. His finally using his cuteness doesn't make the team win, he doesn't one up Neige, he doesn't fulfill his role as Vil's poisonous apple. Just bad.

If they really just focused on Vil for this Book like they did in previous Books, that ending would have been much stronger. But with the numerous character arcs there, I feel like there should have been another way so that they could all have their respective good ending.

There, I'm done with my rant. Here's a bonus:

Most unhinged moment in TWST Wonderland that made you go:

I love this game.

can I just say the entire front half of episode 7 chapter 8, because everything about it was BONKERS in the most absolutely delightful way. genuinely this might have been the funniest single update yet. we got Idia's directorial debut! big stronk Epel! and. just. gestures to the entirety of SavanaRook. (then Vil went into a spiral of murdering people that culminated in punching the manifestation of his own insecurity in the face, and that was good in an entirely different kind of way, but I digress)

if I have to pick one though, I'm gonna go with Idia's video, because 1) adorable, 2) seriously just look at it, and 3) I did legit have to replay that subchapter on account of laughing over most of it the first time. truly Idia is the artistic genius of our generation.

honestly, knowing that henderson was supposed to be an one-off character but endo liked him so much he kept him and then henderson gets what's honestly the best, most tightly plotted, most blatantly political [tee hee old guy with monocle bc monocles are Elegant™ → actually he only started needing it after the police beat the crap out of him for calling out the mythologizing of the war machine, like. holy shit] arc in the manga so far?

god tier tbh
