So,I read silver's relaxation vigente and now I'm sad for the poor boy. If lilia broke up silver's curse why is it acting so strongly on him?

to be fair, the chronological placement of his birthday story just doesn't make any sense in general. like, it can only really take place during his second year, since Ace and Malleus are both there...yet we have seen pretty definitively what Silver was doing on the evening before/morning of his 18th birthday, and it was very much NOT his history homework. this myth?

jk jk I think it's just one of those card stories that's meant to be more...perpendicular to canon, if that makes sense? 😅 like a lot of them aren't really supposed to fit into a specific point in the timeline; instead all the characters and relationships tend to be somewhere vaguely post-episode 1 (occasionally with a bonus post-6 Ortho) except Yuu is already friends with everyone and nobody is surprised to hear them call Malleus Tsunotarou.

mostly they can get away with it, but it starts getting a bit weird with the cards that are supposed to be set at specific times. :T for those I think you gotta just kind of suspend your disbelief and take 'em as, like...little what-if AUs, or something like that! it's not exactly not canon, but more like. this is Silver's birthday if none of the narrative development happened and so his curse is still in effect, or something. 🤷 uhhhh basically Twst's timeline is an eldritch thing that cannot be perceived by mortal eyes, to try will lead to nothing but suffering, down this path dwells only madness.

that said I do 100% accept the presented canon that Silver's roommate is in eternal torment. this is the real victim of Twst right here.

#art #twisted wonderland #twisted wonderland spoilers #kutsurogi my room #silver runs a comb through his hair once and instantly becomes a sparkling oujisama #the timeline may not make any sense but i believe it #i mean you can kind of see how they've been trying to work around the fact that we're in year 5 of birthdays #these ones take place the morning before the party! these ones are all set on the same day and they're at a museum!#and yet by my count we're still at everyone having at least three mandatory birthday parties with three different mandatory birthday outfit #nrc is ridiculous but is it THAT ridiculous #(don't answer that)#same with halloween tbh #(that one line in lost in the book nmbc where malleus is like 'i can't wait for sebek to have his first nrc halloween }:)'#while yuu is RIGHT THERE and actively tsunotarou-ing it up...)#it's just inevitable after a certain point i think given they're going for a sort of timeless non-spoilery feeling to the stories #so you gotta be willing to just roll with some of it #(i say after writing this whole post about how silver's birthday is unstuck in time)#that said while i don't personally subscribe to the time loop theory...i mean...#is it discontinuity or the world's most incredible foreshadowing? time (so to speak) will tell
