[and-moire]

I filled out a template for my TWST OC :3 here’s a bunch of the art I made for her!! Lena was created to be the gf for one of my Yuu OCs (Yuuri) but I found her really interesting and so she became one of my favourite OCs

And the lovely Yuuri as well, I tend to have a specific theme for all of my Yuu OCs, whether it’s a job or an aesthetic or whatever, and Yuuri’s is being a matchmaker/romance lover!

1, 2, 3, we love YURI 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈👩‍❤️‍👩👩‍❤️‍👩👩‍❤️‍👩👩‍❤️‍👩👩‍❤️‍👩👩‍❤️‍👩🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️ (-> for my gorgeous Lena)

Diagnostic Checklist Masterpost

As well as being found under the tag #diagnosticchecklist, here is a masterpost of all of the checklists I have made so far. This provides some basic information about different mental disorders and can be used as a tool for communicating your symptoms with your mental health provider. They may also be used to self-diagnosing purposes, though further research is recommended if you qualify for a diagnosis.

Keep in mind that you may still receive a diagnosis if you do not meet the minimum requirements. Also keep in mind that your experience with a mental disorder exists on a spectrum, and there is no One True Experience for having a mental disorder.

Note: If you are seeing a reblogged version of this, be sure to check the original post, because I will be updating this post as I create more checklists.

If you do not agree with a checklist, do not yell at me about it. All of this information is pulled from the DSM-5, so your beef is with the book and its writers, not with me. Stop messaging me yelling at me about how the DSM is horrible.

[mysteriouseggsbenedict]

I love Matilda because it's a story about a child who sees injustice around her and gets mad about it and questions why things aren't fair, and instead of the ending being that she learns how the world works and that life isn't fair, she catapults one of the adults who abused her out of a building with her mind

[psu-dreamer]

chapter seventeen of the king’s men:

[eelizabit]

men b like wow I’ve never met a girl who liked music before..

[hergraveyard]

You obviously know nothing about men if this is what you think they say

[auckie]

Men will see a mouse and eat it

[hergraveyard]

No they won’t because why would anyone eat a mouse that’s stupid not all men are bad and not all men are stupid you may have had a bad experience with a man but not all men are bad granted there bad men but instantly accusing all men as bad is immature I’m dating a man and he is nowhere near stupid and I know for a fact that he won’t eat a mouse and in pretty sure I could name at least five other men that won’t do something as immature as that and saying that a man will see a mouse and eat it won’t get you a anywhere with a man if anything it will drive them away.

[auckie]

A man will see a mouse and be like is anyone else gonna eat this and not wait for an answer

[linguisticparadox]

Spoke to a gen z person the other night and apparently the young folks don't know about the very legal sites from which you can access public domain media (including Dracula, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and other Victorian gothic horror stories)?

Like this young person didn't even know about goddamn Gutenberg which is a SHAME. I linked to it and they went "aw yiss time to do a theft" and I was like "I mean yo ho ho and all that, sure, but. you know gutenberg is entirely legal, right?"

Anyway I'm gonna put this in a few Choice Tags (sorry dracula fans I DID mention it though so it's fair game) and then put some Cool Links in a reblog so this post will still show UP in said tags lmao.

[ri-writing]

Spreading the news to my followers - if you weren’t aware of this before, here’s the link to Project Gutenberg - https://www.gutenberg.org/

Project Gutenberg is a gigantic collection of books that are in the public domain.  You can read the books through the site or you can download them in various formats so you can get the format you prefer for your eReader of choice.

It is free. 

It is legal.

I was reviewing the list of the top 100 books downloaded yesterday and I saw a fair few that I had to read for college classes - so if you’re a college student and your professor assigns you to read Plato or any number of older works, check here before you buy a copy.

I reread the Anne series several years back - they were free through this.  I need to reread Pride and Prejudice at least once a year, and my e-book version is from this.  Someone recommended Jekyll and Hyde to me a few weeks back and I got a free copy from this.  When I went to Haworth on my last holiday before the plague times, I brought books by the Bronte sisters with me to read or reread that I downloaded from here.  It’s a great resource.

[linguisticparadox]

Yes yes yes! I was honestly so flabbergasted that this young person hadn't heard of the gutenberg project! It's been around for AGES, maybe longer than the kindle has? And it's such a huge project and wonderful resource! It used to be a household name (or maybe that's just my family, thanks to my dad being a cheapskate nerd [affectionate]). I was so glad to be able to share this resource and others with them though, and I wanted to make sure no one else was missing out!

If you look at the first reblog from me I also recommended a few other resources, most of which were from www.archive.org, home of the Wayback Machine! They run openlibrary.org, where you can check out ebooks of some public domain titles! They even have the Bone series by Jeff Smith!

And archive.org itself has all kinds of public domain media including music and movies! For Dracula fans, here's a radio show adaptation of the book, starring Orson Welles! And here's a 1920 movie adaptation of "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," starring John Barrymore, the grandfather of Drew Barrymore!

I'm so excited to see people falling in love with classic media through Dracula Daily! Let's keep that fire blazing!

[wanderingchaos]

Also, if you can't handle reading things, check out libirvox.org! it's a free audio book project taking public domain works and people doing free audiobooks! there's a lot of great stuff on there, but it takes things in the public domain and makes audio books out of them!

it's a super nice project, and you can find some really nice readers there!

[athenadark]

Also don't think a book is old because it's in the public domain

lots of writers and publishers are prepared to waive future profits for entirely petty reasons

because of this the entire works of Philip K Dick [petty writer who found himself with lots of hangers on during his life] and HP Lovecraft [his publisher - who was his wife and hated him] became public domain on their death

Sherlock Holmes entered public domain this year, it's always worth checking because you can save a fortune

and the more popular the classic - the more likely someone has uploaded it

[the-haiku-bot]

Also don’t think a

book is old because it’s in

the public domain

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

[elfwreck]

Want audiobooks instead?

LibriVox has free public domain audiobooks.

Public domain works in the US are:

Anything published (in the US) from 1927 or earlier (this number goes up every year for quite a while), and

Anything published between 1928 and 1963 that wasn't renewed, and

Anything published before 1989 without a proper copyright notice.

(Don't go looking for things in that third category unless you've studied a LOT about copyright law. Mostly that covers things like "weird little newsletters" and "self-published booklets" and sometimes fanzines. But most publications have a copyright notice in them.)

There's also some oddball exemptions here and there; copyright law is a tentacled mess. But those are the basic guidelines. (Except for audio. Audio has its own set of rules. It's weird.) (I mentioned tentacles, did I not? Double the amount of them you were thinking of.)

There are a lot of works from the 50s and early 60s that were not renewed, especially short stories published in magazines.

Project Gutenberg began in 1971; the first text was the US Declaration of Independence, shared through the university computer system. That was the start of "hey computers + public domain text = FREE BOOKS FOR EVERYONE."

[noswordinourlake]

Adding on that Project Gutenberg is not just Eng language texts either! I know specifically about the French texts because I did independent study French lit in high school and all my sources were Project Gutenberg acquired (Candide my beloathed) but there's many open source texts available in a number of languages.

[stevespookington]

browsing the top 100 books downloaded in the last 30 days can be really fun too, interesting to see how things change

https://www.gutenberg.org/browse/scores/top#books-last30

[rostekhorn]

Oh man, yeah, young people definitely need to learn this. I read so many public domain things when I was fresh out of college and penniless but still needed entertainment. Just going straight to Wikisource works too:

And yes, Sherlock Holmes is in the public domain. But I got bored with Sherlock Holmes after a few months, and became much more pumped when I discovered his mirror opposite, Arsene Lupin. Because when you're not only young and penniless but living through the Great Recession, what you really want to read about isn't the world's greatest detective solving crimes. It's the world's greatest thief robbing fat cats blind while pantsing the police along the way.

And you can Ctrl-F find words in electronic texts.

This is so powerful that in the old times they made a whole-ass index of every word in the Bible, called a concordance. It is now possible for every electronic book

i decided to compile together some questions for people with twst ocs (bc asking people questions about their ocs = one of the great joys of life); hopefully these are fun to think about and can maybe even open up some new trains of thought (i know i get some of my silliest hcs from very niche questions at times)

if there’s a question that doesn’t completely fit your oc’s situation, absolutely feel free to customise them or treat them as hypotheticals (i.e. “when your oc uses magic...” —> “if your oc could use magic…”)

feel free to join and share, i would love to hear about everyone’s ocs :3c

When your OC uses cosmic magic, is it light or dark magic?

Which elements would the spells on their dorm SSR be? [Or on any card of your choice]

Similarly, who would their duo magic be with?

If your OC could redesign their dorm/got to make changes to their dorm, what would that look like?

Do they have any gripes with their dorm uniform or do they like it as is?

How does your OC customise their school uniform? Do they maybe wear a skirt instead of pants or tie their tie a different way? Do they leave items out or dress it up with pins or other accessories?

How does your OC’s casual wear look in comparison? Do they have a certain style or colour palette they go for or do they simply throw on what they can find in the closet?

Does your OC own a customised magic pen?

How’s your OC’s mastery over their UM? Can they cast it reliably or do they still struggle with consistency? Are they happy to share its effects with others or do they have a reason for keeping it secret?

Does your OC agree with how their housewarden runs their dorm? || How does your Yuu run Ramshackle as its prefect?

If given free reign over the Dark Mirror, where would they want to go? Would they take anyone with them?

What’s their taste in music like? Are they confident when being handed to aux or would they rather not show their playlists? Do they maybe have some guilty pleasure songs/genres they wouldn’t show anyone?

Which song(s) reminds you of them?

How did they experience the botched entrance ceremony, either as someone being isekai’d or as someone witnessing it?

Would your character like to switch dorms? For Yuus, which dorm would your OC be in if it weren’t Ramshackle?

Does your OC put up a façade or are they being their genuine self around others? And would other characters agree with their answer?

What’s your OC’s role in the main story? Do they play an important role, are they just along for the ride or are they perhaps conveniently absent?

What’s something that could get your OC in danger of an overblot? Are they the type to internalise and linger on their frustrations or do they cope and move on?

Is there something your OC absolutely would not budge on, no matter how open to compromise they usually are?

What’s something incredibly stupid your OC has gotten into a fight with someone over? Did it stay playful or were they actually getting heated up over it?

How’s your OC’s rooming situation? Do they get along with their roommate(s) or do they enjoy the privilege of a room to themselves?

How do they view their life at NRC? Are they comfortable there or are they practically counting down the days to get out of there?

Are they happy to return home for the holidays or would they much rather just stay at NRC?

Are there any events your OC really wanted to participate in? Is there an annual NRC-held event they look forward to? If so, why?

What does your OC’s magicam look like? Are they actively posting or just following people they know? Are they the type to customise their phone with silly profile pics and wallpapers or does it still look like it came straight from the factory?

Just how old is Malleus’s grandmother? A total(ally) serious rant.

Words cannot explain about the sudden rant rush in my head during the most random moments.

Like what do you mean this woman survived a war, has been reigning for centuries, outlived her own daughter AND is near outliving her own grandson’s guardian?

WHY IS NO ONE RANDOMLY THINKING OF THIS??

IS NO ONE CONSIDERING HOW LILIA WAS LITERALLY TAKEN IN BY THIS WOMAN???

Plus, the whole age ranges of fae in twisted wonderland sometimes doesn’t make sense to me 😭

This woman is well over a millennium old cause ain’t no way

Not to mention I fear this woman will disintegrate in any second.

SHE’S BEEN REIGNING FOR TOO DAMN LONG

Remember the jokes about how old Lilia was BEFORE we found out his canon age???

CAN WE GO BACK TO THAT EXCEPT DO IT WITH MALLEUS’S GRANDMOTHER???

IT WAS NEVER LILIA THAT SAW THE DINOSAURS IT WAS QUEEN MALEFICIA ALL ALONG

QUEEN MALEFICIA HAS BEEN THE QUEEN ELIZABETH II OF TWISTED WONDERLAND ALL ALONG.

Istg if twisted wonderland reveals she’s anything less than a millennium old I’m jumping out a window.

If Castle Wildrose was under the control of the Diurnal Fae 3000 years before the game, is it possible that it’s the same castle where the original legend of Sleeping Beauty and the Thorn Fairy took place? Briar Valley worships the Thorn Fairy, so it makes sense that Aurora’s story in the Radiant Seven’s legend takes place around the same area.

The Three Good Fairies, and probably other Diurnal fae, may have kept the territory and the castle centuries after Aurora’s human kingdom fell or moved to another land. After the war where they lost it to the Nocturnal Fae 1500 years ago, it provides a reason as to why the Knight of Dawn’s guardian fairies, who are either the original Three Good Fairies or descendants of them, helped the Silver Owls fight against Briar Land. Not only were they helping the KoD, which I assume they truly did care for him, they were also taking back land that they felt was their’s. This is also probably why it’s Leah who is the queen of Bladevalle (and the castle) and not Henrick because the guardian fairies would’ve given the castle to KoD and his family.

It also make somewhat more sense when you remember that KoD’s guardian fairies gave him, and later Silver, the ring that had the Princess Glow’s sister gem. If they both came from the same land that later became Briar Valley, the reason why they had the ring in the first place was because they were originally from that area or they were descended from Diurnal fae who were.

I think a large part of Book 8 will be about how stories are unreliable and can be easily altered, which Lilia mentions directly in Chapter 3. As of now, we don’t have any real information about the stories of either the Great Seven and the Radiant Seven, but maybe they’ll expand more about what the true events were through the three fairy RSA character and the conflict with the princess glow.
