#this story is so chaotic

[egophiliac]

Tl;Dr - I stopped playing the game but I like the characters and I wanna draw them but idk if the wiki I use is up to date for cards

Do u know any wikis that have up to date cards for all the twst characters-

Asking specifically bc of Malleus cause I can't tell anymore if he has any more new cards bc HE DOESN'T EVEN HAVE A 100 DISNEY ANIVERSARY CARD IN THE WIKI I USE 😭

Like compared to everyone else in Disanomia, he has 12 cards (in the wiki I use) and then Lilia has 17 cards 💀

Cause I think Malleus has a Bean's Day card as well, but that could just be a fanmade one, I don't have JP twst nor ENG twst anymore so I can't confirm it myself urhghrhevw 🫠

Malleus doesn't have a Beans Day card, so that would've been fanmade! and the 100 anniversary cards are actually the new round of birthday cards, so most of the characters don't have 'em yet -- Malleus should be getting his in a couple of days, when his birthday event starts! oh god my keeeeeys

I think the wiki.gg stays pretty up to date? it looks to me like they have everything that's currently up through JP, at least. :O I did go through and do a quick count just because I couldn't believe Malleus only had 12 cards, but. he really does have the least...defeated only by Silver with 13...astonishing. we need his gargoyle club wear immediately.

You know, it's a tragedy that there are no (or very little) Vampire x Christian stories out there, not for angst or theology or forbidden seductiveness or whatnot but for the sheer comedy of it all. I mean, the Christian would technically be immune to all of the vampire's shenanigans, like for example...

Vampire: Fool, I am the most powerful vampire in the West. Nothing but the force of an entire holy temple could even deign to scratch me Christian: Idiot, I AM a holy temple. 1 Corinthians 6:19, fear me and the Spirit inside that can burn you to ashes

Kids say the darndest things! xD

[skrunksthatwunk]

thinking about how eiji's a pole vaulter and how ash talks about eiji "flying" and how eiji's associated with bird imagery and how eiji's free (unlike ash) and how eiji comes in on a plane and leaves on a plane and how ash cannot fly, ash cannot be free, how nyc is ash's prison, and how ash is the leopard who dies climbing the mountain, unable to live at such elevation, how he was trying to reach the sky and be free but was always stuck to the earth, how he chose to die instead of climbing back down, how he chose to die where he could see the sky and hope and freedom almost like a bird with eiji's letter right in front of him rather than letting everything go wrong and ruin it once again, how eiji's a failed pole vaulter anyway, how a bad fall ruined his career and grounded him (physically and emotionally), how it took flying to america and meeting ash and needing to save him and skip for him to try flying again, how he landed hard and harsh and still the thought of that escape compelled ash to protect eiji at all costs because if he could fly that means something to him, even if he doesn't think he can fly, how eiji is the manifestation of his hope and how when he breaks and asks eiji to stay with him a while he folds himself over his legs and weighs him down and traps him and grounds him, how ash fights like hell to keep eiji alive not because he thinks he can be like him (hopeful, flying, innocent), but because he makes him forget the gravity of his situation, and so he can see eiji fly again. how he wants to see him escape. how eiji is a bird and ash is a wildcat and how ash never once saw eiji as prey. how eiji never saw ash as a predator. how it is eiji's naivete that first endears ash to him, how it is his freedom and flight and removal from darkness and his ability to leave that darkness that really roots eiji in ash's blood as something essential to him keeping on living in this hell of nyc. how it is that distance from the violence and that hope for the future that ash chooses to surround himself in as he dies. how ash dies in a dream because he feels more than anything that he can't fly like eiji, that he can never leave. how his violence is a part of him and will be forever, how it weighs him down. how he wants to enjoy the view from the mountainside rather than looking up from the ground below. as if they can both fly. as if he is with him up there and not grounded. eye-to-eye with what he can't have, seeing eiji's homeland: the sky. how he dies trying to reach the top because he couldn't take retreating and trying again. how ash, tired and tired and tired and convinced it will go on forever if he crawls back down the mountain, chooses to close his life deluged in eiji, in eiji's insistence that they can fly together, in eiji's hope for him and for them, in eiji's beautiful dream. how ash dies without trying to realize that dream. how ash, in dying, destroys it.

Marc telling the story behind his 'Factory Pilot' selfie.

MCH: Today, on the motocross, he published a photo of himself in which he was wearing a t-shirt that said 'official rider'. Was he hesitating at all? MM: (Laughs). I promise you for the life of me, I really do, that I took the selfie and I didn't know it said factory pilot. I haven't even noticed. So, we were in the van and a message came to José Luis Martínez, the sparring partner, and he said: "Dude, what have you said, people are already revolutionized." Upon seeing it, I wrote to Laura and the communications people and told them that I didn't do it on purpose, that I swore it to them. (Machine Translation).

In dem "ich hab von dir geträumt!"-ask hat ja jemand meine ständigen Oliver Twist-Vergleiche als eine Art shoelaces-Erkennungswort benutzt. god that sentence makes no sense does it? anyways. Oliver Twist. Stellt euch also den Moment der Panik vor, wenn dich zwei Tage später jemand persönlich fragt: "Hm. Wenn du dich mit Oliver Twist vergleichst, bin ich dann für dich Dodger oder Fagin?" und dann zufrieden vor sich hin grinst. Abort mission, what the fuck, mein Stresstremor kommt augenblicklich aus dem Exil zurück. Ok, fine, er meint die Frage ernst. Das ist bis dato halt auch einer der wenigen Menschen, die auf meine nie abreißenden, mittelmäßigen Literatur-Anspielungen eingehen. Jetzt muss ich ihm nur irgendwie beibringen dass die Oliver Twist Masche mehr so 'ne verbale Übersprungshandlung ist, und keine durchdachte Metapher für mein Sozialleben. Außerdem ist er Nancy.

Er redet viel, macht Bemerkungen in treffsicherem Stakkato und schenkt mir dabei eine so durchdringende Aufmerksamkeit, dass ich mich am liebsten darunter wegducken würde. Meine Strategie, mich mit einem fröhlich sinnfreien, niemals abbrechenden Redefluss irgendwo zwischen Absurdizismen und Loriot-Dialog rauszureden funktioniert erstmals nicht. jesus fucking christ, es ist als wäre ich mit einem Deck Pokemonkarten zu einem Schachturnier aufgekreuzt. Beste Voraussetzungen.

Irgendwann sitzen wir frühmorgens nebeneinander am Feuer. Er spielt Leonard Cohen auf dem Akkordeon, ich schlafe in zwei-Minuten-Intervallen ein. Es hätte fast idyllisch sein können. Leider entscheidet er sich, um vier Uhr morgens das verbale Äquivalent eines Kavallerieangriffs durchzuführen: "Warum landest du am Ende eigentlich immer ausgerechnet neben mir?" Great, ich bin dann auch wieder augenblicklich hellwach. Hm?? Der Akkordeonspieler stochert im Feuer und sieht mich wartend über die Schulter an. "...weil du dann spielst?" antworte ich. Er sieht mich immer noch stumm an. Ok, falsche Antwort. "Weil du dann ausnahmsweise mal ruhig sitzen bleibst...?". Er muss lachen. "Lass das" "Hä?" Mir fällt ausnahmsweise nicht ein, was ich falsch gemacht habe. "Du versuchst zu erraten was ich hören will. Wie'n Hund der einfach alle Kommandos abspult". Er wartet kurz. Wenn's nicht so ein abgenutztes Bild wäre würde ich hier was vom Reh im Scheinwerferlicht faseln. Oder vom Zwergkaninchen, das jemand am Nackenfell hochhebt. "You can't just say that" sage ich. "My bad". Das Akkordeon seufzt voller Anteilnahme. "Nein, sorry. Ich weiß ja, warum". Dramatische Pause. Gerade lang genug damit mir wieder die komplette Mimik entgleisen kann, wie nett. "Weil ich immer 'ne Jacke für dich mitnehme". Er grinst. Ok, ich... habe irgendwie schlimmeres erwartet? Eine Konversation ohne stechende Pointe? In my social life? ok wild

Ich vergesse fast mich darüber zu wundern was zur Hölle das jetzt wieder bedeuten soll. Fast. Ein paar Stunden später, es ist längst wieder hell, verschwinde ich um die Ecke um Sand für die Feuerstelle zu holen. Auf dem Rückweg schnappe ich ein kurzes Gespräch auf: "Rennt er gerade mit deiner Jacke rum?" "Und mit meiner Mütze". Ich höre den Akkordeonspieler leise lachen. "Er hat's halt drauf". Ganz ehrlich, ich wünschte ich wüsste welche Sprache sie da sprechen.

"Und wo ist jetzt das Problem?" fragt mich eine alte Freundin, als ich ihr von meinen neuesten Verstrickungen erzähle. Frag meinen Stresstremor, ich will's nicht aussprechen.

Ich bin zwischendurch, zwischen beruflichem Terror, der Aussicht, schon wieder umzuziehen, dem familiären beinahe-Armageddon und einem gottverdammten Akkordeonspieler, so überfordert dass ich bei dem Ornithologen aufschlage. Wenigstens lässt der mich einschlafen ohne nachts existenzielle Fragen auszupacken.

Währenddessen: spiderman_pointing_meme.png Der Akkordeonspieler offenbart mir aus Versehen, dass er die gleiche Essstörung hatte wie ich, mit dem gleichen, minimal unpraktischen overlap aus queer body image issues und Kontrollzwang. Es ist das erste Mal dass ich ihn irgendwie sprachlos sehe. Kein triumphales Grinsen, er steht einfach nur regungslos da und sieht mich an. Sweet, das emotionale Abhängigkeitsverhältnis nimmt gerade ganz ungeplante Ausmaße an. cool cool cool cool cool. why is my eyelid twitching

"Und wo ist jetzt das Problem?" fragt sie. Idk buddy alles passiert gleichzeitig und meine zwei Gehirnzellen sind immer noch mit der beschissenen Anspielung auf die Jacke bschäftigt

Getting an Open Heart book pass unlocked a ton of repressed memories in my mind about how unhinged and toxic the fandom got whenever it had chapters actively releasing and I have never been more thankful for how lukewarm and disengaging some of these modern books are because Open Heart really brought out the worst in the playchoices community

the more I think about it and rewatch his scenes, the more I cannot help but realize that Colin is coded as a neurodivergent character. At least, I can very clearly see how Luke Newton, a neurodivergent actor, is playing Colin as a neurodivergent character

a special interest in Greek mythology? in traveling? neurodivergent

taking people's word at face value without 'reading between the lines'? neurodivergent

not being able to read Penelope's feelings regardless of how 'obvious' they are? neurodivergent

brain constantly bouncing around from one idea to the next (as in the books)? neurodivergent

not saying the 'right thing' and admitting to having to rehearse important conversations? neurodivergent

all that rejection sensitivity and regret he had well over a year after his engagement blew up? neurodivergent

masking in public? the whole 'charming facade'? neurodivergent

the man straight up STIMS, I mean how often do we see him fidgeting or playing with something? he has an oral fixation like no one's business, always eating, rubbing his mouth, licking his lips

I just can't unsee it

and, one day, i hope our fandom is going to be ready to recognize how many of the things we've unjustly called him an 'idiot' or 'stupid' for is actually just him existing with a neurodivergent brain and how hurtful that can come across to us neurodivergent peeps who identify with him

Transcript + Bonus under the cut:

Phoenix: Your sister decided not to come? Asher: No, I, uh, asked her not to in the end. Phoenix: How come?

Asher: It’s complicated. I’d rather not get into it tonight. Phoenix: Sure. Everything okay? Asher: Eh, getting there. Phoenix: Well, if there’s anything we can do, just let us know. Asher: I will. Thanks.

Megan: How is the wedding planning going? Dawn: [laughs] It’s a lot harder now that Aspen is here. But I finally got the invitations out, so we’re making progress. Megan: Can I help with anything? What do you have left to do?

Dawn: Um, well, I still need to figure out flowers and cake. And I still need a dress. I haven’t even started looking yet. Megan: We should start there then. I’d love to take you dress shopping; we can make a day of it. Dawn: Really? Megan: Of course! Do you have a particular style in mind already? Dawn: Oh, I don’t know. Something simple.

A little autonomous slow dancing after dinner... whether they want to or not, apparently.

These two are definitely related.

I'm not including a situation where someone might be injured because in that case I'm thinking the bed goes to them by default or they are nominated for it. anyone who wants to be chatty goes to join the living room floor gang.

What are your thoughts and headcanons? Do you have thoughts on how the boys tend to approach assigning beds in inns? Who do the chain choose to sleep near when camping and why? What are their dynamics like when settling down for the night and getting ready for the day?

In "Mirror Vs Open Closet Door: Fight!" by Gintrinsic (here) Four refers to the chain's decision on how to split up between inn rooms as the "Link-per-room ratio" which I find very funny. He, Sky, and Time also talk about their thought process behind why they do or don't want to sleep in a room with some of the others which I find fun and interesting.

So! If you have thoughts and want to share them! *gestures to the post!*

[omg-i-think-i-like-you]

Steve woke up to a loud noise from downstairs. He jumped out of bed, his heart pounding in his chest. He grabbed his bat, and slowly and quietly went down the stairs, only in his boxers. As he was approaching the end of the staircase, he heard the loud noise again, this time followed by soft humming. He kept walking towards the source, the kitchen, when the noise startled him again, and he jumped into the kitchen, holding the bat high and ready.

"Jesus Fucking Christ!" Eddie yelled and ducked behind the kitchen island. Steve lowered the bat, and scanned the very messy kitchen. Mixing bowls and pots were all over the place, along with ingredients that Steve couldn't think of what they can make together.

"Eddie? Did you go to war in my kitchen?" He put the bat on the floor and walked around the island, where Eddie was stretching up and standing again.

"Hi Stevie," Eddie avoided the question and kissed Steve quickly on the lips, who smiled against the kiss but kept his arms crossed on his chest.

"You scared me," He said when Eddie broke the kiss, "I thought someone broke in. Are you trying to cook something?"

"Not trying, sweetheart, I am cooking something. Baking, actually." Eddie smiled cheekily and started picking up pots from the floor.

"Then why are all the pots out?" Steve teased and Eddie stood up and released a nervous laugh, "Well, I... I didn't know exactly where you keep things, so I kinda took everything out?" He rubbed his neck and Steve laughed.

"It's okay," He started putting the pots in place, "What are you making?"

Eddie, relieved that Steve isn't mad, started clapping in excitement, "Hamantashen!"

Steve looked at him, confused, "Bless you..?"

"No!" Eddie slapped Steve's shoulder, "It's food. And it's amazing."

"I want to believe it's food," Steve teased and Eddie crossed his arms and looked at Steve seriously.

"I don't make fun of your traditional cultural food, do I?"

Steve froze in place, "No, you don't. I'm sorry. Wanna tell me what haman... what did you say, tashen, is?"

Eddie smiled, "With pleasure!" He then pulled a chair and pushed Steve onto it, who giggled to himself, knowing Eddie is about to make the explanation into a whole performance.

"It all started in the faraway kingdom of Ahasuerus," Eddie opened and his eyes lit up, "The King of The Persian Empire, who ruled from India to Kush. He was a hedonistic king who had parties and feasts almost every day," He checked on Steve, making sure he was following. Steve nodded and Eddie continued.

"One day, King Ahasuerus was having one of his many parties, when his wife, Vashti, refused to join. Ahasuerus, who had a very fragile ego, took it personally and decided to fire her, and banish her. Silly Ahasuerus, realized soon after that he misses her, and decided to look for a new wife. He sent people around the kingdom and put his eyes on Good Girl Esther, a Jewish sweetheart who was raised by her Jewish cousin, Mordechai," He checked on Steve again, who looked a little lost now, "Are you following?"

"Yes, it's just... Is all of that important for the food?" He asked carefully.

"Yes." Eddie stated, "moving on. Joining the story now, the infamous Haman. Haman was an official in the king's court, and had an order from Ahasuerus himself, that everyone who saw Haman had to bow down to him. They all did, except-" Eddie stopped to see if Steve completes him, but he only tilted his head at him and stayed silent, "Mordechai, Steve! Mordechai didn't bow down to Haman!"

Steve was invested now, "Oh shit, he probably didn't take that well, did he?"

Eddie smiled in delight, "Oh, absolutely not, Stevie, dear. Haman also had a fragile ego, even more fragile than Ahasuerus. He got so upset, that he decided it's required not to only kill Mordechai, but to execute all the Jews in the Persian Empire!"

"What?? How can he do that??" Steve was on the edge of his seat, "Did Ahasuerus agree? Wait! Isn't he married to Mordechai's cousin??"

Eddie held Steve's face, "He is, Stevie, he is." He did a little twirl and continued his lecture, "Ahasuerus is married to Esther, but he doesn't know she's Jewish. Haman came to Ahasuerus and asked him if he can kill all the Jews, and the stupid king agreed. Haman went on with his plan, and even prepared a special tree for Mordechai's hanging," He paused, enjoying Steve's curious face, and proceeded, "The rumour got spread, Haman was gonna kill all the Jews in the Empire and no one was saying a thing," Steve shook his head, "I know, terrible. Mordechai walked around wearing bags, but it didn't do a thing. That until..." He stopped again, teasing Steve.

"Until what??" Steve burst and Eddie laughed.

"Until Ahasuerus found out Mordechai saved his life. You see, Ahasuerus had these two guards who planned to assassinate him, and Mordechai uncovered their plan and saved the king's life."

"And Mordechai didn't want credit for that? How did Ahasuerus find out?" Steve asked quickly.

"He told Esther to tell Ahasuerus. The guards were executed and Mordechai got promoted, but here things get complicated." He paused again.

"How??" Steve stood up and Eddie pushed him back into his seat, giggling.

"Ahasuerus summoned Haman, and asked him, 'what is to be done for the man whom the king wishes to honor?'" Eddie finger quoted the sentence, "Haman, who thought Ahasuerus was talking about him, told him to give him a city, dress him in fancy clothes, give him a horse and have him escorted around the capital for everyone to see. Ahasuerus accepted the idea, and told Haman to do all that to Mordechai."

"Yes!" Steve jumped, "Poetic justice!"

Eddie chuckled, "Yes, but Haman was still gonna kill all the Jews. He went around the capital with Mordechai and cursed every step, having his rage and hate fueled more and more."

"So what happened? Didn't Ahasuerus realize Haman wants to kill the person who saved his life?" Steve asked.

"I remind you, Ahasuerus was very dumb," Eddie answered, "He didn't care about Jews or not Jews, and he didn't even know Mordechai and Esther were Jewish themselves. So what happened, is that as the date came close, Esther started to fast -"

"Wait, what date?" Steve cut him mid-sentence.

"Oh, right," Eddie shook his head, "I forgot that part. When Haman decided to kill the Jews, he left it to fate to set the date. He basically rolled dice, and it fell on the thirteenth day of the Hebrew month Adar, so everyone knew when the mass killing was due. We call it Pur."

"That's intense..." Steve almost whispered, "So all the Jews were just waiting for their death?"

"Almost. They all fasted and wore simple clothes and grieved, but Esther, who was the closest to the king, took it a step further. She was having feasts where she wouldn't eat, and Ahasuerus was getting worried. He asked her why she wouldn't eat or drink, and she said an evil man wants to kill her and all her people. Ahasuerus got scared, and asked her who it is, and that he would kill him immediately." Eddie stopped.

"And?? You can't stop here! What happened?! Did all the Jews die??" Steve started pacing around in worry.

"Esther told Ahasuerus it's Haman who wants to kill all the Jews." Eddie said seriously and Steve started jumping in excitement, and Eddie smiled, "Ahasuerus, who finally found some brains, ordered to kill Haman, who was hanged on the same tree he prepared for Mordechai."

Steve clapped and hugged Eddie, "Yes! Amazing!"

Eddie laughed, "It really was. All the Jews were celebrating for days afterwards, partying and drinking, and everything was good." He hugged Steve back.

"This is such a cool story," Steve said with dreamy eyes, "But what does it have to do with the hamantashen? Wait, it has Haman's name in it??"

"Yes, but it's not like that," Eddie assured, "There are a few interpretations of the meaning of the hamantashen. Some say it symbolises his ears, some say it's his hat or his pockets, but the idea behind it is to celebrate his defeat." Eddie smiled in victory, and Steve smiled back.

"As we should!" He laughed, "But what are hamantashen anyway?"

"Oh, they're cookies. Triangular cookies with filling, traditionally it's poppyseed filling, but poppyseed is disgusting, so I'm putting chocolate." Eddie said and Steve chuckled.

"Of course you are. Can I... help you make them?"

Eddie nodded enthusiastically and the boys got to work. They kneaded the dough in turns, and put it to rest in the fridge for a few minutes. They cleaned up the counter and Steve started washing some dishes, and then closed the tap.

"What holiday is this? Like this story, and the cookies, what are we celebrating?"

Eddie beamed, "It's called Purim, from Pur, fate. We celebrate the defeat of Haman, and how we were saved by the Pur, instead of killed."

"It must be a very happy holiday then," Steve smiled, "Are there more traditions, other than eating Haman's ears?"

Eddie laughed, "Of course there are. First of all, we wear costumes. Purim is the holiday of changed fate, so like Haman was killed instead of the Jews, we symbolise that by being someone else for a few days. We also have a big feast and read the Megillah, the story I just told you," He smiled, "We also make gift baskets for each other, and donate food and money for those who need them. Another thing we do, and you're gonna like that, is to get so drunk, that we can't tell between Evil Haman and Good Mordechai," he giggled, "I know I like this one."

"Do you... Wanna do that?" Steve asked shyly and Eddie started laughing.

"I think you know the answer to that." He winked.

They took the dough out of the fridge, rolled it and cut circles into it with a glass. They then put chocolate in the middle of some, after Steve convinced Eddie to make some with strawberry jam too. They folded them into triangles and put them in the oven, and then Steve poured them newly opened wine.

"Happy Purim, Eddie," Steve clinked their glasses together.

"Happy Purim indeed, Stevie, L'Chaim," He clinked back and took a long sip.

"You made that sound again," Steve said, "Like in tuches."

Eddie started laughing so hard, he had to put his glass down, "Steve, god. Yes, it's the same sound," He kissed him wetly on the cheek, "but it's a very different word. L'Chaim means cheers in Hebrew. It translates to 'to life'. We celebrate life." He smiled, a warm feeling set in his chest. "We celebrate life." He said again, quietly, and Steve smiled at him in understanding.

"We celebrate life." Steve repeated and kissed Eddie slowly and deeply.

The oven rang a few minutes later. Eddie pulled the tray out and a warm, sweet smell filled the kitchen. He put the hamantashen on a plate and took it to the living room, and Steve followed with the already half-empty bottle of wine, and another one he found in the fridge.

Steve and Eddie spent the rest of the day feeding each other hamantashen, getting drunk out of their minds and kissing like it was their first time, again and again and again.

They both passed out on the couch, laying on top of each other, full of wine and hamantashen and love.

Celebrating Life.

Leo meeting Jennika Nobody for the first time

After careful consideration, Jennika is, in fact, being cannonically added to Family Web. Why? ^^^This ^^^ . This is why.

But her knowing about her brothers and trying to interact with the first one she runs into again (being leo) only to realize he doesn't know and now, spitefully, refusing to tell him until he figures it out on his own...idk. It adds something to Leo's conspiracy board arc that makes it work so much better. B/c now, instead of just Leo trying to figure everything out on his own volition, there's an outside instigator adding an extra layer of mystery to it.

She meets with him on multiple occasions, flaunting that she knows the answers he's looking for, but refusing to tell him. It drives him insane. she drives him insane. and, honestly, i will put up with any snags her presence causes for later arcs, just to make the conspiracy board arc less bland.

I'm gonna talk about this more when i answer asks this evening (there's a few in my inbox that pertain to this , even before i posted this lol). So feel free to add more questions if you have them. : )

if I had a nickel for every time jeff and britta agreed to get married then didn’t, I’d have three nickels. which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened three times
