Gabriella Papadakis (FRA) and Madison Hubbell (USA) spoke about their same-sex ice dance team project and a lot of things in this wonderful article. The article speaks about heterosexuality expectation in figure skating - especially ice dance, power imbalance between male and female skaters in ice dance and pairs, the positive effects the sports could have if same-sex teams are the norm and many more. Please give it a read, it really captures the current situation in figure skating.

IT'S FINALLY FINISHED!!!!!!

I am so proud of myself for actually finishing it, and I absolutely love how it turned out!

It's far better than the Ghost version in my opinion.

JUST LOOK AT THAT THANG!!

Anyway, here's it lined up with the Ghost version:

They were both made for each other, literally.

Would both 100% murder you for each other.

Hope you like it, @majikklown!!

Have a lovely day, y'all❤

The third anniversary trailer of twst is interesting to me because of its foreshadowing/ominous feelings with the way it cuts the scenes. Well, in terms of Lilia and Malleus when you think about it.

This is, of course, going off of certain assumptions.

For one, the shadow below being Malleus and not another student 🤔 (we already saw Leona enter Ramshackle by this point and Vil and Rook is already there at the party idia and his brother are in their room and Cater and Trey are baking, so it’s highly likely that is it Malleus)

Assuming this shadow is Malleus, we see he’s alone with no one around.

Going forward to the rest of the trailer:

Someone walking up the stairs, alone. No one is next to them and the sign we saw before? Is behind them.

You’re probably wondering why do I get that ominous/foreshadowing feeling and it’s because of the next few scenes.

Vil and Rook looking towards the newcomers to the party and lo and behold.

Our faes of Diasomnia, with Lilia right there next to Malleus.

Lilia was not there before. There was no shadow of him being there at all in the beginning with the anniversary sign, and even with the stair scene, no floating lower half of said fae (no matter how high he’s floating, you should see at least a part of his body or shadow)

And we see Grim being patted by the invite.

Invites of any kind have significant meaning for Malleus. We know how much he wants to be invited and we know how they will have already been/will be used in Book 7.

So I can’t help but wonder. What could this mean?

Does this have some connection to Lilia? A foreshadowing of the future? Why isn’t Lilia there?

But then, if you recall, Malleus offered Lilia his happiest dream in book 7, one without Malleus in it.

And then the thought hit, what if? This is Malleus’ dream? One where he is invited? To a celebration where everyone can have fun and be merry?

A party that’s not celebrating his father’s departure and no one is sad at the end of it?

What if Lilia’s shadow missing is the hint to all this?

Wouldn’t that be the best way to show this? Lilia who Malleus loves so much and doesn’t want to lose and the reason why Malleus OB.

It would make sense if this was Malleus’ dream, wouldn’t it?

We all wondered why did this anniversary trailer focus only on the third years? And not the rest like previous years right?

The third years are important in the aspect that those are who Mal is “closest” with and they are his classmates who he spent all these years with (people who are not Lilia, Silver, and Sebek specifically and people who he can essentially talk to without them running away in fear as we have seen).

Another point that I believe adds onto this theory is the release date for this trailer, and in correlation, main story release.

The third anniversary trailer was released in March 2023, while Book 7 chapter 2 was released the month before, specifically 2/27/23. (Thank you Mumble for helping me find this info @irafuwas 💞💚)

Chapter 2, the chapter where Malleus puts everyone to sleep, giving them their happiest dreams. The chapter where, you know, Lilia gives Malleus an invite to his….going away party hahaha 🙃🥲

Everyone except Malleus is asleep. Now wouldn’t this be a devious way of foreshadowing on the twst devs side? A hint of not only Malleus’ dreams and the possibility of him falling asleep but also the way the invites will be used in the future (as we now see with Idia’s plan)?

This trailer being Malleus’ dream would also explain the discrepancies between the Grims in the trailer.

Despite the size change inconsistency with Grim (he has such a big head lmao), you see the outfits as well. Grim isn’t wearing his ceremonial robes (something he is so proud of and I doubt he would just take off) and he’s back to his ribbon (his everyday uniform)

Also take in the fact of the backgrounds, the one with Vil and Rook has bright colors and saturation while the other is darker with the sun setting. (Don’t get me started on the symbolism of the sun or sunset)

This can also show how it’s dream vs reality. Especially if you consider what Malleus considers a happy dream.

Malleus, who didn’t understand or, rather, can’t accept/is in denial (I’m going to run him over with Crewel’s car) that his hatching was Lilia’s happiest dream. That all that pain and suffering led to something so joyous.

He, the one who continued to offer a happy dream that didn’t include him but his parents and Silver to Lilia.

Would the bright colors not show this? How he thinks “happy” dreams should be? As oppose to reality with the darker hues in the other scene?

And then we see currently, how the twst boys are fighting/rejecting the “happy” dreams as well. Which adds onto these points as well. Them fighting against this path chosen for them.

[also, the emphasis of invites, getting along with others, being empathetic, caring (/guarding Silver), and understanding others’ views (as well as wanting to be understood) as we saw with Malleus’ tsum card adds on to this does it not? 👀🤔 Tsum tsum events, after all, does give hints to main story as well]

If this was the twst devs way of foreshadowing future events and giving us hints of Malleus’ dream, then I can’t wait to see what we have in store.

In short, no one hold me back! I have a mallet with Malleus and Lilia’s names on it and I’m not afraid to use it!!!! 😖😤

(Absjsjshs I can’t stop laughing omg, Mumble said he was ‘strangely’ invited for once and I’m dying of laughter 😂😆 *covering eyes 😅😅* he’s going to be strangely invited to Idia’s party alright absjsjffnfnf 😆🤣😅)

There’s something about Yuuta as a special grade sorcerer, choosing kindness and empathy, even when it’s the more difficult path……………

It’s like, kindness goes against the instincts of special grade sorcerers. Other characters admit that eventually you grow so strong that you lose sight of your own humanity, you can’t relate to anyone. Instead of a human you become a force of nature. And the fact that he isn’t so egotistical or self centered, the fact that he chooses to be gentle, seems naive to them.

And it’s so clear that it is going against his own instinct, that Yuuta has to fight himself to retain his gentleness.

It’s not natural for him to flinch at bloodshed. He feels no fear in this moment— but he knows this child, this civilian will.

His character growth is like the inverse of Getou’s in a way. He was weak, but became strong, and he chooses to use that strength for the betterment of those around him, even when he himself can no longer understand how it feels to be weak.

fucking CRUSHED ITTTTTTT😎

[raccoongrippers]

Guess what, guys?

That's right.

I painted. Again.

Yay.

It didn't go horribly, actually, which I think is great. And I promise his eyes are just really dark brown, not black, I made a mistake while mixing the color and I didn't want to waste my brown paint fixing it.

Sketch of the final product. Yay.

Final product with sketch of final product. Yay.

Final product compared to a nerf dart so y'all can see how small it really is. I was also too lazy to get up and go find some change, so you get a nerf dart instead. So there you go.

Have a lovely day, y'all❤
