can I say one thing? ---- personally, I think it's more likely John and Paul Did The Deed than that Paul – whether accidentally or not – sang "Johnny" instead of "Darling" 😭😭😭😭

Every morning I look for a reason to live and see James Potter and in that moment, I know I've found it.

[hollowwhisperings]

that thing wherein you're reading something and just KNOW

"this person has completely forgotten that the characters here live in Japan/Korea/China/Russia"

and is, instead, writing like an American.

[vsingers]

one thing i do miss about the us is american starbucks

[shiningstages]

Okay, I did actually get rid of a couple drafts, just because I just really wasn't feeling it and they felt complete enough to where I was like "okay~ this is it~". I think it's also because I just. Feel all over the place mentally? Again??? And also because I have Atlas brainrot since he is so new and shiny, but I also just have so much will yet no energy to write anything else.

I may just make an Atlas ask call or starter call...Maybe work on threads if I feel good enough. I work nights the next three days, soooo who knows how I'll feel writing-wise, but I hope to be here soon-ish~ And on Diantha again whenever I get cool stuff and inspo for her~ (maybe make an ask call / starter call there too who knows~).

I don't know if you've discussed this before but I don't really get madols/thaumarks in terms of value.

I thought it was like yen as in the anthology Azul is fretting over a 100(100 yen is 0.65 usd) coin and they all think he's paranoid, making 100 madol seem insignificant.

But then 50,000(yen to usd is 316 usd) madol for an item is supposed to be crazy expensive? As shown in the prologue.

Which isn't much for the exchange rate.

At the end of book 3 it states that the menu in the mostro lounge is then priced at 5-16 thaumark an item????

It makes no sense

I talked about the difference between thaumarks (in EN, similar to the American dollar) and madol (in JP, similar to the Japanese yen) in this post. You will find many examples there as well!

You might be confused about the value of thaumarks and madol because currently the yen irl is weak. For reference, right now 100 yen is 0.65 or 65 cents in USD (not even a full dollar). However, I believe that the “true” exchange rate for thaumark to madol is more accurately described as 100 yen for every 1 dollar/1.00 USD. This results in a "cleaner" converted number and is closer to the value of the yen to dollar (106 yen to 1 dollar) when TWST first came out in 2020–though EN would not come out until a few years later. In 2024, the conversion is closer to 150 yen for 1 dollar, and this difference is probably what resulted in your confusion.

Knowing this, a thaumark is actually 1/100 the value of a madol. Just move the decimal point of the numver over to the left by two spaces to do the madol to thaumark conversion! This would make the value of a 50,000 yen/madol item actually closer to 500 dollars/thaumarks.

It should be noted that the broken chandelier in the prologue is stated to be worth “a billion” or more in both EN’s thaumarks and JP’s madol. Some numerical values like this are left unchanged between the two servers.

In real life, the value of currencies fluctuates all the time! But in a game like TWST, the currencies can be stabilized and unchanging regardless of what happens in the real world. That's likely the case in this situation.

In the anthology comic you referenced, the whole joke IS that Azul is fretting over what is a miniscule amount of missing money because he is just that stingy. The 100 madol coin and its 1 thaumark (or 100 sorcents) equivalent are supposed to be seen as not a lot of currency. He's overreacting over some change in both JP and EN currencies.

As for the pricing of menu items at the Mostro Lounge, I don't think the values are strange at all. The prices quoted, however, are a little off. The items mentioned in book 3 actually range from 6-15 thaumarks or 600-1500 madol.

Azul explains that the drinks on the menu are 6 thaumarks/dollars (600 madol/yen). This is even more expensive than asking for a glass of juice or soda at a restaurant (a few dollars or a few hundred yen). It’s about the same price as a specialty drink (think like a mocktail or something). Putting that another way, that’s about the same cost as a tall Starbucks drink.

Azul also says that there is a limited menu with items for 15 thaumarks/dollars (1500 madol/yen), which I imagine are like the lunch sets or desserts. Many cafes and especially anime/manga collab cafes (which are notorious for being costly) have similar pricing for their dishes; in some cases. Here is an example of a menu from a Tokyo Mew Mew collab cafe (although you can find several others with matching prices or cost even more):

Let's also keep in mind that Azul only stated that items on THIS particular limited collab menu were 15 thaumarks/dollars or 1500 madol/yen each. We don't know if other limited collab menus or if the regular item menus are higher/lower cost. We should be cautious of using the 6-15 thaumarks/dollars or 600-1500 madol/yen range to cover the entirety of the food and drink prices that Mostro Lounge offers. For example, in Azul’s Dorm Uniform vignettes, he specifies that he’s selling the Mystery Drink for 1500 madol/yen or 15 thaumarks/dollars, which is significantly more than (/over double) the usual cost of a Mostro Lounge drink. If you got the mystery drink with your lunch, you’d already be in at $30 or 3,000 yen for a single meal—and again, this is only if you don’t count extra costs for tax and/or tip.

Let's do some math terrifying, I know... Deuce is shaking for what I assume is the regular order for a student dining in. We will order 1 drink and 1 item from the limited menu. Without tax (and tip, if Twisted Wonderland has that), this alone would cost you $21 or 2,100 yen. It'll cost even more if you order extra drinks or dessert. I imagine that just the 1 drink and 1 limited menu item together already cost significantly more than what you can get to eat at the school cafeteria. Because NRC is based on a British boarding school, let's use the irl cost of the average British high school's lunch costs (2-3 pound sterling, according to Google) to compare. 2-3 pound sterling is about 3.70 USD or 370 yen. Even if we were to assume that a private British boarding school would charge significantly more for food (because it's a "fancier" institution)—be it double, triple, or quadruple the price—students would still be paying a fraction of what one casual meal at the Mostro Lounge would cost. Not only that, but NRC students are getting more bang for their buck in the cafeteria, since food is served buffet style. You get a lot more variety and amount of food for much less initial cost. Comparatively, Mostro Lounge is the expensive option ��� (even if most of the main cast and NRC student body seem to be from pretty well-off families and could probably afford eating there daily, no problem). The average high school student has no income, has limited allowance, or earns minimum wage, so that cost of a fancy Mostro Lounge meal would take quite a bite from their personal spending budget.

Hey lovely 🌟 just saw ur recent ask and wanted to remind you how amazing you are. Your decision not to write during this time is 100% respectable. Historically, writing is one of the greatest escapes this world has to offer. When times are challenging and the world has gone to shit, people look for temporary escapes through fiction. Even if just for a moment, it allows one to forget the bad things going on in their life and live through the eyes of someone else. Please don’t EVER feel bad about yourself for people consuming your writing during these hard times. Your blog has taught me more about whats going on in the world right now than the news has. Thank you for being so informative about the ongoing conflict and for bringing light to those suffering. Good luck with your studying!!

Sincerely,

A diehard gavisuntiedboot fan and supporter of all things you 🙌🏻🤍

Hi my lovelies -

Sorry I've been gone for so long. It's been really hard to stay afloat lately. Gaza is still being bombed and so I haven't been writing anything football related. I still try and educate on this platform, but then I get random asks being like "can you write gavi smut" or "are you a virgin" and it makes me want to delete my blog all over again.

Anyways, Palestine updates for everyone:

Gaza is still under bombardment and siege. Innocent people are being bombed, starved, denied access to humanitarian aid and life-saving medical treatment. All of this is the result of Israel's oppression. Please continue to speak about Gaza, to boycott brands like Starbucks, McDonalds, and Disney, as well as the others on the boycott list.

Personal updates:

I've been quite dissociated from football because of everything happening in Palestine. Currently prepping for my MCAT, so that's what occupies most of my time. Been doing some personal writing about Palestinian losers in love. Maybe will share one day. Also working on adapting "Just Pretend" into a real book - if Lauren Asher can publish "Throttled", then JP can be a real book.

Alright that's all for now. Peace and love little bootlaces.

I've seen posts in the TWST and Percy Jackson fandoms both on here and TikTok where OP decried supporting Disney in the slightest and even one where they said you should avoid that sorta content all together, even in the fandom sense. To be honest, I think this is wasps (anglo-white Americans/European) being overzealous in showing support to Palestine.

This isn't a JKR, Hobby Lobby or Chick Fil A situation where you can just boycott one person/company and be done with it. The very sad reality is that if you are Western or Northern European (except Irish), Canadian or especially American, your money was already used to support Israel. Every single company that makes over a million dollars in the west has donated to Israel, not just Disney. Burger King, Mcdonalds, Coca Cola, HP, Microsoft, Pfizer, JP Morgan, Starbucks, Paramount, Tim Hortons, Popeyes, and countless more. These just the known ones. There probably even more quietly funding it. Even both Canada and the US are funding it outright.

If you already bought from these companies or need to do so, especially in the case of Pfizer, don't be so harsh on yourself. We all live in a capitalist hellscape, and there's not much we can do in these situations. Your own health and safety should be your first priority.

By that same token, try to avoid buying things from these mega corporations if you can. Buy local or from small businesses, support Palestinian authors or businesses, sign petitions for a ceasefire and donate to charities that support Palestine if you can. If you are in any sort of Disney fandom, try to buy fan merch over official if you can. In case of the Percy Jackson series, I would say support it on Disney+ if you already have an account on there, because that's one of the only ways to get a second season. But if you don't have an account on there or feel uncomfortable doing that, pirate it and talk about it on social media, especially Twitter.

Bruce woke up and wanted Starbucks, I agreed so as soon as the boys woke, (we hauled @nerdybirdboy out of bed) we went to the coffee shop for coffee and cake. Tim is the only one not eating right now but he promised to get something to take away for later. They're so dysfunctional but god I love this family 💙 @richbastardbat @grace-of-gotham @jp-todd-rp
