“yeah i tricked you but why'd you trust me” 🥴

[merakiui]

who in the twst cast would peel an orange for you?

riddle - he doesn't understand why you're asking him, but he'll do it.

trey - absolutely. 100% no matter what! trey will peel the orange and turn it into orange juice for you if you ask.

cater - it depends. he might ask you to peel his orange in return so that the both of you can have an orange and take cute selfies together!

ace - no. and he teases you for asking, but if deuce says he'll do it instead ace will snatch the orange and promptly peel it. "what do you mean you're asking deuce? give it here. i GUESS i'll peel it. if i have no choice, but you owe me now."

deuce - that orange is peeled SO FAST. deuce will always peel an orange for you. if you want an orange, he'll buy you ten. anything for you.

leona - if you're a woman or identify as one, consider the orange peeled. if you're a man or identify as one, you're on your own.

ruggie - he'll do it, but only if you do something in return or pay him. his orange peeling services do not come free!

jack - yes. <3

azul - no. :/ if you really want him to peel the orange, you'll have to offer something in return.

jade - YES OMG. he peels that orange so quickly for you. in fact, why stop at just an orange? he'll make you a fruit salad if you'd like.

floyd - yes. if shrimpy wants an orange, shrimpy will get an orange. he'll peel it. he doesn't care if it's messy. and if the cafeteria runs out of oranges, he's tracking down a helpless student and threatening them into giving up their orange.

jamil - no. he'll tell you to peel it yourself. :( although he's willing to teach you the less messy trick to peeling an orange if you ask.

kalim - YES YES YES. he'll buy you an entire orange orchard if that's what you want, and he'll peel every orange for you!!!!!!!

vil - no. :( like jamil, i think vil would also offer to teach you the trick. that way you won't have to worry about getting juice everywhere next time you peel an orange.

rook - yes. you probably don't even have to ask. he'll already have it peeled.

epel - yes!!! he doesn't mind peeling it for you at all.

idia - LOL NO. do you think he wants to get orange juice on his fingers and then get his keyboard or monitor sticky? if you really want a peeled orange, he'll build an automatic orange peeler for you.

ortho - sure! he'll peel an orange for his friend. :D

malleus - yes! peeling an orange is an easy task for malleus. one snap of his fingers and the peel is coming off in a neat spiral.

lilia - yes, but then he'll want to add the orange (and its peel) to his suspicious-looking meal that he cooked for you. ;;; he calls it healthy and hearty, but it looks like the nine circles of hell in food form.

silver - yes! don't worry about it. if you ever need more oranges peeled in the future, please bring them to him.

sebek - no. why would you trouble him with such a foolish task?! don't you know he has better things to be doing than peeling an orange for a human!!!! ...silver peeled an orange for you? well, it would be embarrassing if one of malleus's guards couldn't do something as simple as peeling an orange. he does it, but he grumbles to you not to ask silver and to instead come to him next time.

rollo - you might expect him to say no, but surprisingly he agrees to your request. perhaps he used to peel oranges for his little brother, so he knows they can be messy and tricky at times. don't trouble yourself with peeling it; you'll just make a mess if you keep using such a clumsy technique. he'll do it for you.

fellow - yes, but you'll have to give him a kiss in return. <3

gidel - he'll gladly do it! please peel his orange in return. friends help friends in need, after all.

[raven-at-the-writing-desk]

miscellaneous fellow honest headcanons

These aren't following any prompt in particular, these are just thoughts I had when I saw the guy hammin' it up and then turning on us.

Some of these headcanons are informed by fan art I've seen and discussions I've had with friends, while others are purely me.

Curiouser and Curiouser...

He calls people “little lads” and “little ladies”.

Fellow has a very noticeable laugh. Like, he grunts and snorts and has tears rolling down his cheeks. (He tends to laugh at others’ misery, thinking of it as “retribution” or “payback” for the injustices he has suffered himself.)

Bro shaves using a knife (yes, he shaves because he is a grown ass man) because razors are hella expensive.

He uses that cheap cologne and cakes it on THICK. This, in his mind, gives off the impression that he’s a well-off and put-together individual you should tooootally trust.

Also the type of person that lays it on thick with his words. If he’s trying to impress a date or something, he’ll shower them with so many compliments it almost seems fake. But no, he’s just the type to simp hard when he happens to be genuine 💀 most of the time he’s faking it though—

He’s very street smart, but in a way where he confuses hostile people by talking over them and acting overly friendly. They usually stuns them long enough for him and Gidel to skedaddle.

If he gets dumped, he'd be the pathetic whimpering boyfriend that begs for his ex to take him back. When they inevitably don't, he mopes all day about it.

He chain smokes and aggressively drinks as a coping mechanism on his bad days 😔 and sometimes he gambles (like, on those scratch-off cards) hoping that he'll strike it rich and buy him and Gidel a better life...

Basically, he generally does not have his shit together but tries his best to pass like someone who does (and usually succeeds at it).

Fellow appears in public wearing his full suit, but at home (ie whatever ratty temporary housing their boss found for them before they move on to the next place) he just wears a T-shirt and lounges around in boxers (and sometimes socks with holes in them).

He uses those disposable eyeshadow wands that snap in half at the slightest bit of too much pressure. Fellow acts like the Claire’s kid makeup he uses is the luxury stuff, but Vil can tell the pigmentation isn’t all there and there’s MAD fallout.

He may be broke AF and have his moments of emotional spiraling, but he has pretty decent budgeting skills. Fellow lives for sales and does extreme couponing to stretch their money as far as it will go.

He invests in other cost-saving methods like wearing shoes until the sole is literally flopping off and just adding water to residual soap in a pump bottle to make the soap "last longer".

Fellow is really good at cutting food (bread, beans) thin to conserve it. Yes, this is a reference to an old Mickey Mouse cartoon—

When he was younger, he had dreams of being an actor (and, more specifically, starring in musicals). That's why he's often humming, swinging around his cane, and/or whistling as he's on the prowl for idiots to sucker—they're remainders of his thespian days before his dreams were crushed into itty bitty pieces.

Man looks like he'd be great at tap dancing.

Before his current gig, he tried a bunch of other scams including a MLM at one point to get by. His signature spell came in pretty clutch in those days too.

Fellow’s not that good at reading or spelling—in fact, he was never a particularly strong student. (“I didn’t fail school!! The schools failed ME!!”) He’s easily frustrated by academics and thinks there should be more hands-on and practical skills taught in learning institutions.

I think it's a given that he and Ruggie would be besties since they both want to eat the rich but I also think Fellow would kiss ass to Azul and then rage about how shitty + entitled Azul is (Azul reminds Fellow of his boss)💀 Scammers hate other scammers because they're both competing to scam the same people--

Even though Fellow is an asshole to most others (well, when he’s not flattering them to lure them into a trap), he’s always nice to Gidel and puts him first. If there’s ever a situation where they’re short on something (clothes, food, etc), Gidel gets priority. This is why Gidel has a full outfit (even if parts are patches or mismatched) whereas Fellow himself has a glove that is so worn out there’s a hole in one of the pinkie fingers.

Fellow may not be blessed with a bounty of magic, but he’s quick on his feet and good with words. Because of these skills, he’s talented at spinning bedtime stories, which he often tells to Gidel to help him fall asleep on nights that are particularly cold and nasty.

Gidel still believes in Santy Claws and wishing upon stars, and Fellow doesn’t have the heart to tell him the truth. He’ll figure it out on his own one day, Fellow thinks. He just doesn’t want to be the one to ruin those childhood joys for him.

Playing pretend is another shared past time of theirs. It helps Fellow get into character before he goes off to swindle people, and it gives Gidel a way to express himself in spite of being mute. They have a routine they do together where Fellow pretends to be a doctor diagnosing a patient and Gidel takes down notes for him as his medical scribe. Yes, this is a Pinocchio reference—

They actually have many more games they play (mainly because they cannot afford other forms of entertainment). Some of the games are clever ruses conjured by Fellow to teach Gidel survival tips and tricks: the who-can-make-their-piece-of-bread-last-longer game, hide-and-seek (from the authorities), etc.

For special occasions, Fellow saves up some money on the side to grant Gidel little luxuries, like a box of crayons to doodle with.

Gidel hugs Fellow’s leg or waist to cheer him up when he’s upset. He also hides behind Fellow when he’s scared or feeling shy.

He’s just really attached to Gidel cuz they have no one else in this cruel world, just them against the world 😔 He sees a lot of his younger self in the little boy… the opportunities lost because of their circumstances… “It’s alright, Gidel. Leave it to Fellow-sama.”

[viviennevermillion]

My boyo. He's so adorable but SOOOO deranged it's not even funny. Like how do you work for human traffickers to make up for your inescapable poverty, use your magic to turn people into puppets to sell, enchant them to participate in a whimsical musical number for no reason but your own personal amusement, tell the terrified victims over loudspeaker how shit you think they are, let yourself be enraged by a bunch of sassy high schoolers and then decide by the end of the day, to quote my dear friend Azul Ashengrotto, I CAN'T DO THIS ANYMORE!!! How does one go from trafficking children to wanting to found a school for magicless children in the span of 24 hours. How do you manage to escape a probably exploitative work contract AND steal your bosses' property in the span of 24 hours with nothing but 1 madol and a dream? How's he going to fund this school? He apparently has to be worried about getting enough to eat. How do you just go "you're right, no more trafficking children, from now on I'm gonna commit to the good of humanity :)"

His lesson from the whole thing was "actually schools are good!" rather than "wow I feel so bad for all the people I probably sold :/"

There is not a sane bone in his body and no rational thought in his brain. His thoughts probably contain so much cursing that the sentences are unintelligible when you censor them. Everytime he speaks to a person he doesn't like, he internally adds "you mediocre little fuckshit pissbabies" or similar to the end of the statements. He has the most deranged evil laugh ever. Even when he likes you and you tell him a funny joke he goes "hehehahahaaAHAAHAHAHAHHAHAH" like he's about to kill someone. He likes having his little ears scratched. He bites though.

He's like the biggest asshole cat you can mentally picture. He doesn't just push stuff off your shelves, he takes the vases and chucks them at unsuspecting pedestrians. He's mad at you and you ask him for a glass of milk and he takes the milk carton out of the fridge and pours the entire thing all over the floor and kitchen counters without breaking eye contact. There's a collection of knives on his bedroom wall.

He's my special little guy. They want to study him to update the DSM-5. He eats the rich. He needs some money to found his little school so he gotta work in retail, scanning the customers' products at checkout and muttering "fucking bourgeoisie cockroach" under his breath. Shamelessly lists "amusement park manager" and "salesman" in his CV as if he worked at a legitimate business. He once had a mental breakdown at the grocery store after closing hour and downed a bottle of whiskey straight from the shelf and then danced through the snack aisle stabbing his cane into the chips bags out of boredom while singing "you're never fully dressed without a smile". Gidel being mute is the only reason this kid does not curse like an uncensored Rapper version of Ebenezer Scrooge.

He's clinically insane. He's the most wondrous attraction at Playful Land. He hopes the afterlife is a musical. He's Fellow Honest. This is a fake name.

TWST Story idea (9)

Warning: inhumane treatment and view, abuse, human trafficking, obsession.

Twisted Wonderland, where non-magical people do not exist.

Imagine how NRC looked upon Yuu, the first non-magical human to ever exist. It was like seeing an exotic animal, the only one of its kind.

Yuu is not a being with a thinking mind, but an animal with no brain in the eyes of Twisted Wonderland. Seeing how Yuu reacts to the world with barely any knowledge only cements this fact.

Prefect? What a joke. Yuu is the Headmaster and the Housewardens' pet.

Yuu'll do the errands, Yuu'll be the scapegoat for every blame, a doll to be dressed and shown off, a frog to be dissected, a plushie to be cuddled and torn apart, a lion in a circus, doing tricks it abhors by the ringmaster.

Yuu can scream and threaten and hurt them and risk dying, but it's alright, Yuu are their beloved pet. It's nothing but a mild tantrum. Yuu will calm down soon anyway. It's always like that, and if not, a few rough handlings will do the trick. If the most vicious, unruly dogs can learn to behave and be obedient, so can Yuu.

Even if Yuu had become the most ugliest thing molded by their hands, Yuu will still be loved. Isn't that wonderful?

The others caught wind of this. The Royal Sword Academy wanted to see this non-magical thing, amazed and then astounded at their condition that is akin to an abused and leashed dog. Their kind and gentle hearts could never bear to see Yuu in such situation.

They wanted to sweep Yuu off their feet, ride on a white horse like a knight in shining armor, and place them in RSA where they will watch over Yuu and take care of their needs.

Rollo Flamm of the Noble Bell College, who dreamt that the world will be better without magic, began to show interest, obsessively so. It grew worse when he saw the state Yuu is in, proving that magic is indeed evil, and thus, bringing his hatred for magic to further heights.

He would find ways to meet, observe, and transfer Yuu to their college under the guise of 'justice'.

The Playful Land would prepare for the arrival of a new puppet. They'll put a stage for Yuu to stand on, dress them prettily, and handle them gently like precious goods. The spotlight is on Yuu, smile. Yuu will–is loved. The money bid on them will be the proof.

Fellow Honest stood back, Gidel hidden behind him. He would save Yuu, but at what cost? He couldn't save himself nor Gidel from this place.

It does not stop there. It spreads, people around the world would flock to NRC to see this precious, unique little thing by the name of Yuu.

Royalties and those who have money wanted to buy or demanded them to show up so they can see Yuu up close. Reporters would barged NRC daily and so on.

Getting kidnapped, harassed and no privacy is part of the norm.

How would Yuu ever break free and return home?

[oya-oya-okay]

Basically he stalk every Yuu which gives the Yuus a creep from him.

Also forgot to mentioned about Chenya and Gidel. Many there so many cat characters.

I REMEMBER HOW MUCH I WANTED MC AND SEBASTIAN TO MEET!!🦐😈 That's what forced me to come up with my Yuu tbh

Now you can imagine that Sebastian is really relaxed here because he has seen many Yuus and got used to it, but then he just ran out of patience and wanted to make fun of Yuu a little 🖤🖤🖤

And about the cats... There are really, really many of them... 🐱🐱🐱

R Trey Clover - Playful Dress Voice Lines

Playful Dress Trey does not have a vignette.

Summon Line: This is that mythical amusement park, right? Well then, we need to make sure we let loose a little!

Groooovy!!: I bet you're tired from all that walking around. Go ahead and take a rest on a bench. There's still a lot more to enjoy after this.

Home: Guess we'll go have some fun, then!

Swap Looks: It'd be great if nothing bad happens…

Home Idle 1: I see that Gidel is always smiling. He's a little hard to read, since he never speaks, though.

Home Idle 2: Is it that strange that I'm excited to be here? I've visited amusement parks many a time with my siblings, and I've always enjoyed myself.

Home Idle 3: If you're looking for Ace, he was lined up for the roller coaster. How many times is that now? Man, he really hasn't grown tired of it, huh.

Home Idle - Login: It's fine to want to run around, but don't get carried away and trip, or anything. If you get injured, you won't be able to enjoy this special time, now will you?

Home Tap 1: Back in the day, I used to play around while wearing the hat of an amusement park mascot character. It was because my little sister begged me to, not because I wanted to.

Home Tap 2: Everything really is free at this amusement park, huh. I keep wanting to pull out my wallet every time I go to order some food.

Home Tap 3: There's an attraction where you destroy a house? If it were Rook, I'm sure he'd be overjoyed, saying that "there's beauty in destruction." ...That's not really my thing, though.

Home Tap 4: The park clock is chiming... Oh hey, take a look. That's the first time I've ever seen such a delicate cuckoo clock.

Home Tap 5: Don't worry, if you get lost, I'll come searching for you. I'm pretty used to looking after my siblings, so I'm sure I'll find you quickly.

[prince-kallisto]

My cope is so severe that I’m making up possibilities for Crowley to show up in the Playful Land event 😭 Please Yana I’m begging

1. Once all the students return to NRC from Playful Land, Crowley is there to scold everyone for skipping class.

2. The teachers come to rescue the students, although it seems unlikely considering Playful Land is set up at Sage’s Island’s port

3. idk….FERRO KIDNAPPED NRC STUDENTS FOR CROWLEYS/NRC’S ATTENTION?!? 😭😭😭

Hmmm jokes aside (I’m not kidding I want ferro and Crowley interactions so badly), the kidnapping of NRC students specifically is interesting. Ferro puts everyone’s guard down by saying he’s not powerful enough to be a threat to the magic of NRC students. I’m guessing he’s a bit older than Leona because he calls Leona a little boy, so it’s very interesting to see an older mage outside of NRC.

So far, Ferro claims that Playful Land is a “mobile amusement park,” basically a ship on water. He also says Playful Land is full of magic, so any magic like the costume changes aren’t his magic, but the islands. I personally doubt this- mostly because I can’t imagine how a ship would function like that, but Ace also says that he’s never seen Playful Land before, even yesterday. It just appears out of no where during sunrise t. I’m thinking Playful Land and the costumes themselves are illusions or creations of his magic. (Side note, apparently Disney made a little retelling of the “Emperor’s New Clothes” story using Honest John and Gideon as the scammers who give the king “invisible clothing,” and only people who respect the king can “see” how magnificent and gorgeous the clothes are)

@moonlightequin1 has pointed out on Twitter that Ferro may have some sort of resentment of NRC students, as the novels go more into detail of just how hard it is for mages to get accepted at NRC. This, and we have to remember how little of TWST’s population can use magic. TWST’s society may value different types of magic. Much like how the arts are treated irl, perhaps Ferro’s flamboyant illusion/show magic is seen as frivolous and useless. Ferro and Gidel are clearly struggling to get by, at least based on the state of their clothes, so perhaps Ferro has resorted to underhand schemes with his magic to survive and take care of Gidel.

Im still unsure of where the story is going and what their backstories will entail, but I wonder if Ferro was someone who was considered to have “potential” in magic, and perhaps even wanted to attend a school for it. If Playful Land really is a result of his magic, it’s really quite impressive and beautiful actually, and it’s a shame how undervalued his magic is. Targeting NRC students seems quite ambitious to me…especially with how hard it is to actually get to Sages Island. I wonder if he’s trying to send a message by kidnapping these students, or perhaps even get the attention from a prestigious magic school like NRC (lol I want him to admire Crowley so bad but I’m so delulu)

[yandere-wishes]

Okay so not an ask more of a Headcanon based on observation and the character he is based on, but I see Honest Fellow as someone who would both idolize/emulate and resent the rich. By his design his clothes, while they pay homage to Honest John with the patchwork pantleg and the misding pinky tip on his one glove seem very well-kempt, on top of that his hat and cane are practically emaculate that cane alone couldn't have been cheap though I wouldn't put it passed the sly fox man to have either swindled someone out of it or stole it from them outright. Point is I'm getting wants to be a rich man but hates the rich people vibes.

All of that is set-up for my headcanon that if he ever had a S/O you can bet he would get them jewelry and expensive clothes. Basically just adorn them in finery he had acquired through whatever means (cough, likely stolen or purchased with dirty money, cough) and proudly have them stand by his side. The thought to use them as a pretty little lure to catch even bigger fish might cross his mind, but I doubt he'd ever use them like that. Personally, I feel like he'd be to possessive to do that even if his darling wanted to help like that, after all what if he let's them go off alone and someone tries to take advantage of his poor darling? He doesn't think they're weak or foolish per say but who could protect them better than him? I think he'd have a difficult time even leaving them alone with Gidelle (only 90 percent sure I got that right), of course he trusts Gidelle, well as much as he can truly trust anyone anyway, but he's the brains of the outfit and unless he's personally by his darlings side he won't ever be truly assured something won't go wrong.

Let's say that darling isn't quite so understanding or compliant, his possessive side would certainly get worse. He can't leave them alone for one second qhat if they try and sneak off. Perhaps to save his pride he'd be a bit delusional, they're just a sweet little naive skittish thing that doesn't know any better, possibly they've never known a love as deep and unshakable as his, it's only natural there would be a learning curve for them and who better than he to teach them? I highly doubt he'd ever use physical punishments on his darling, probably doesnt like punishing them as he thinks they are just still learning, but that doesn't mean he won't find other ways to punish them if necessary. I do think if they actively tried to run he wouldn't waste a minute getting something along the lines of a necklace with a chain, something fashionable but functional as a reminder while they're learning, if that reminder isn't enough though he might go for a bejeweled pet collar and leash. If all else fails isolation in a secure location with him as their only source of human, or well beastman, contact would certainly allow them to see how much they needed each other. Whatever he has to do to make them understand it'll all be worth it later once they're settled and he can spoil them like they deserve.

TLDR: Honest Fellow would love to lavish his S/O in (possibly ill-gotten) finery and would actively and proudly show them off on his arm. Everyone can look and admire, but only he is allowed to touch.

This has got to be the most effort anyone has ever put into something they sent in my ask box!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

Okay so right off the bat let me say that YES!! This is canon I don't care what anyone says.

I can see him as "wanting what they have" but "not wanting to be them". Essentially he wants the ability to give his darling the best of everything. Yet still ultimately preserving his own "personality". Like you said Fellow hates the rich. They're insufferable, self-absorbed and loathsome, but he'd be lying if he said he didn't crave the glitz and glammer.

Now I can kinda see Fellow only really interacting with his darling at first to use her as bait. Winning her over with expensive gifts and pretty cloths (all from dirty money ofc) and sure darling does start to fall for his tricks. But here's the thing, the moment his darling begins to show the tinest interest in him Fellow FALLS HARDER!! All of a sudden he doesn't want ANYONE near his darling! Just him only him. Sooner or later his darling will start to feel suffocated, she'll be desperate to get away from him. Forsaking the pretty presents and charming "boyfriend" for just a moment of freedom. But Fellow's a sly fox, always one step ahead. He knows how to ensnare his darling before she's even run away.

Overall Fellow will lavish you, treat you like a queen, getting you anything you desire (through underhanded means) but you'll never be allowed to leave him. Forever trapped by his side on the island of pleasure…

Quick question is Fellow meant to be the same age as the third years or is he older??

[wonderlandcrown]

Twst has a thing for villains that trick the NRC students and have brothers that are probably related to their trauma/backstory

@prince-kallisto once said in a post that Gidel might be Ferro's adoptive brother considering he's a cat and Ferro's a fox, so they'll probably get a backstory abt that.

Also we already know that Rollo's dead little brother is the reason he hates magic so much.

[tartppola]

Honestly i’m curious to see what the excuse of Ferro being in NRC, is. NRC and Playful Land collab???? Him & Gidel sneaking into NRC to shill out Playful Land to other students??? Gidel somehow getting enrolled in NRC so he has to accompany his little assistant??? Who knows, it’ll be funny nonetheless

[your-local-grinning-cat]

who's a good kitty?

*puts on detective hat* 🕵️‍♂️

Well…

My lovely Highness @disgruntled-prince is more of a lion rather than a kitty, so I’m disqualifying him from the running. Though he is an amazing lion and I adore him. 😻

In this same vein, this disqualifies Cheka and Falena.

@ruggiebucchiii is a hyena and he and I have already covered that he is not quite a cat. He may be more closely related to cats than dogs, but he is still not quite a cat. He’s a kinda cat! Which is why I call him my kat friend. Kinda cAT. That’s Ruggie. But either way, he is not in the running. Sorry Kat friend. 😔

Then there’s the Playful Land kitten, Gidel. He is disqualified because, as much as he was desperate and was on hard times, he still committed crimes and was an accessory to them. And therefore does not, in fact, qualify as “good.”

@lucius-official is disqualified because he’s a bastard. That is absolutely a compliment to him, I respect a cat as unapologetic as him. And I support his rise to power. But he is not a good kitty - he doesn’t need to be. 💅

That leaves Grim and I.

Except @yuu-grimmofnrc is always saying he is not a cat. Apparently, he is a direbeast that just so happens to be catlike. So actually no. Grim is NOT left.

Just I am left.

So… I guess… the answer… as to who a good kitty is… is…

IDIA SHROUD!

@gloomyronin. My favorite blue glowstick. He is the most amazing pathetic little wet kitty of them all~! 😹

Good kitty Idia! 🩵🔥😸

[pianostarinwonderland]

So Gidel and Fellow are off to create their own school. If twst continues after the main story like following the first year gang into their second and third year, I would like to see them again in a new event and accomplishing their dream.

ohhh my god that would be so cute indeed, that we hear the name of a new school 3-5 years down the line. and it's their school.......

In all seriousness, I wonder now how the education system is like there. Because Fellow was like "I wanna make a school for non mages!" but isn't it that only 1/10th of the population are mages? That should mean that there are more schools for general education than specifically for arcane training. And if we're talking about prestigious schools, well the presence of technology as advanced as ours should be an indicator that they do have educational institutions that not only cater to non mages but also have the prestige and resources.

It makes more sense if Fellow opened his own school that caters to both mages and non mages but also doesn't discriminate against mages with little magic. It would also be amazing if it's open to people with disabilities, what more with Gidel around ;u;
