"our first year at NRC" do you see us getting more years at nrc? it always seemed interesting to me that twst made the choice of having the fourth year be off the campus. why? it sort of caps off the potential of us getting another year at nrc, because all those in third year are going to disappear from the centre of action, the place where most interactions between characters take place. i remember also in the earlier years the speculation that we might meet those studying in fourth year later; cool upperclassmen introduced as the story develops. clearly the latter isn't actually in the cards. however, it is equally interesting to me that they ultimately decided to age the characters. perhaps we might be getting more than just one year? what do you think?

[Referencing this post!]

I don’t know where Twst intends to go moving forward but the fact that they decided to commit to age people up + the main story takes place over the course of a school year makes me think we’ll eventually progress into a second year, third year, etc. The themes of book 7 also align with this forward momentum; there’s a clear focus about having to accept “the end” to a story, even if it means saying good-bye to loved ones. Of course, within book 7, this refers to Lilia—but it also works on a meta-narrative level, referring to how us, the players, do not wish to see the current third years moving onto internships or see Yuu return to their ordinary world.

The idea of the fourth years having off-campus internships also contributes to this idea of ongoing growth. After all, haven’t like… the OB boys been developing off-screen anyway, outside of the purview of Yuu/the player?? Don’t many vignettes and event stories play out just fine without Yuu’s involvement?? Epel and Deuce bonded on the beach without Yuu being there to facilitate it, right?? I definitely think we don’t have to be present in order for there to be interesting interactions or conflicts. The Twst world and its characters can work and run on its own without us being physically present to witness every little thing that happens.

I don’t think this necessarily means we’ll never hear from the third years again, but this does offer a new interesting frame of reference. Because the boys are being sent all over Twisted Wonderland, we could perhaps have opportunities to catch up with them and receive expanded lore on the fields of expertise or locations they’re interning in. This would be quick and easy to do with mirror travel! Maybe we’ll even get to see conflicts going down at their internship spots? (I really feel like this opens the possibilities, not limits them; if anything, the same old school environment and population at NRC sort of stifles things.) This also, of course, opens spots back at NRC for new freshmen to enter and interact with the now second and third years.

I want to see these kinds of things! Everyone slowly maturing, becoming mentors and senpai to new students, shaping their careers, forming friendships, learning from their past(s) and trauma… maybe even the first years succeeding their previous dorm leaders and carrying on that torch 😭

With the fourth years being off-campus for most of the year and returning only for special occasions (like the cultural festival and graduation), it seems like we won’t get to know the current ones that well… It’s a waste if you ask me, because why even mention them returning for the fair and such if you don’t do anything with it??? And if they’re coming back just to graduate, then there’s literally no time to familiarize ourselves with them 😔 It’s okay, I’m fine with not knowing the fourth years as long as we can follow the third years and the others that follow them on their journies… 🧍‍♂️

jamil irl

Lush Cosmetics has a new Eid al-Adha (Festival of Sacrifice) collection coming out! It’s a major Islamic holiday.

The collection features a body scrub named JAMIL/جميل (which means “beautiful”/“handsome” in Arabic). According to the description, Jamil smells like pomegranates. There are also several items listed with a scent called Sticky Dates, which just so happens to be Jamil’s least favorite food (as he once found a bug on his dates, which traumatized him forever). The colors of the collection are Scarabia’s dark red and gold too.

chsjwbkwke I don’t know much about Eid al-Adha or Islamic traditions in general, so it’s entirely possible that these colors or foods are typical associations (I assume they are??) but man. If this isn’t setting off my inner Twstie 😭

Update: According to some asks, comments, and reblogs, dates are pretty normal but usually green or royal blue would be used, not this shade of red??? D-Do we have a Twst working in Lush Cosmetics product development????

Wanted to do a quick drawing of my Yuu in the stitch event, plus some of the boys reactions to seeing her in her beach outfit. Which I designed as a combo between what Grim was wearing and one of Nani's outfits in the movie. And there is only one movie in my mind.

There is no live action lilio and Stitch in Ba Sing Se

favourite part of the latest episode is when maomao finds out jinshi is the crown prince and goes "damn" and moves on immediately while jinshi is just standing there like a frazzled dog

A new event with Cater is coming soon, and this is the sneak peak of it

Look closely, and you’ll notice Cater has freckles here!

Finally got some twst books and I’ve been obsessed with the anthology books. I adore reading the different character interactions and the extra stories (that I will consider canon because they’re so cute)

[supposedtobedead]

i’m rewatching the apothecary diaries season 1 in preparation for starting season 2 (i like to wait until a little bit into the season to start new shows) and i forgot how immediately jinshi’s whole “maomao glared at me like i was a bug and i got so hard i passed out for a second” thing started. literally the moment he realized his #prettyboyswag moves were actually making her shudder in disgust he was sooooo ready to become her full time malewife.

think abt it. he has been raised with a silver spoon in his mouth and everyone around him chomping at the bit to make him happy (besides his nanny and gaoshun’s family ig) and then this wickedly smart servant girl begrudgingly treats him with the only bare minimum amount of respect she can get away with considering their statuses and doesn’t even bother to hide her distain for his whole Deal and he’s this close to proposing marriage, eunuch cover be damned.

maomao please put this man on a leash already his desperation is scaring the hoes
