✨Giggles and runs away with your spleen✨
that’s not my dad
Did the Twst Sorter and I feel judged by my scores (I used the tie button at least seven times 🙂↕️)
I’ll put the rest under the cut, but for context I originally started the game years ago absolutely adoring Jamil and Ace. Leona was a close second to those two.

Something something all girls magic academy on Sage’s Island but the dorms are based on the different Disney Fairies. Each fairy represents different “essence” {kind of like the fairies talents}
(I’m doing this now for my OCs and no one can stop me)
Been thinking about this a bit more and here’s what I have so far.
Now walk with me, the ceremony robes are all white and rather than a mirror there’s a magical tree in the middle of the school garden (it’s a biiiiig garden like I imagine this is a nearly mostly outdoor school)
{side note the school might not even be on Sage’s Island specifically since I plan for it to have a sizeable tie to the fae. I’m thinking about making it maybe like an enchanted space that you get through by entering the “school building” that is on Sage’s Island}
Anyways back to the magic tree. It’s sort of like the great pixie dust tree, but when students approach it during the ceremony some aspect of it changes, whether the flowers will glow or something I’m not sure yet. But the reactions it has are similar to the way the fairies have their sorting ceremony when one arrives.
I’ve managed to squish “similar” options fairies have together so that we have the standard seven dorms. (Also my thought process behind the naming)
Incanoya - Light fairies (mix of incandescent /chatoyant )
Noxguard- Scout/ fast flying fairies (mix of vanguard and faun)
Lusinereis- Water fairies (mix of Neireid and Lustrous )
Evefleur- Garden fairies (mix of fleur and élever)
Relicrea- Tinker/helper/art fairies (mix of relieve and create)
Millefaun- Animal fairies (mix of millennia and fauna
Hanayuki- Snow fairies (this one’s kinda self explanatory)
I have more thoughts but they’re still scrambled so I’ll probably be posting more as they get sorted.
Will also finally bring up my OCs my main two are Yuukari and Kirara.

He’s so beautiful🥹
This is my sign to start writing about my twst OCs isn’t it?
Starting a new dub of something after experiencing it the whole way through in a different language is such a surreal experience.
Sometimes you can tell within the first few minutes whether or not you’re going to like it and then other times you’ll be halfway through enjoying yourself more than you thought and then a single inflection swings a tree at your ear drum.
some of you need to re-learn the word "selfish" and stop calling everyone a fucking narcissist
Even different universe can't stop Flins..
look. look at this beautiful sword meme. i’m going to cry
@petermorwood
I saw and reblogged this one a while back, but it’s always worth repeating, and this time I’m adding a bit of background info comparing common fantasy sword features to the Real Thing (with pictures, of course.)
Leaf-bladed swords are a very popular fantasy style and were real, though unlike modern hand-and-a-half longsword versions, the real things were mostly if not always shortswords.
Here are Celtic bronze swords…
…Ancient Greek Xiphoi…
… and a Roman “Mainz-pattern” gladius…
Saw or downright jagged edges, either full-length or as small sections (often where they serve no discernible purpose) are a frequent part of fantasy blades, especially at the more, er, imaginatively unrestrained end of the market.
Real swords also had saw edges, such as these two 19th century shortswords, but not to make them cool or interesting. They’re weapons if necessary…
…but since they were carried by Pioneer Corps who needed them for cutting branches and other construction-type tasks, their principal use was as brush cutters and saws.
This dussack (cutlass) in the Wallace Collection is also a fighting weapon, like the one beside it…
…but may also have had the secondary function of being a saw.
A couple of internet captions say it’s for “cutting ropes” which makes sense - heavy ropes and hawsers on board a ship were so soaked with tar that they were often more like lengths of wood, and a Hollywood-style slice from the Hero’s rapier (!!) wouldn’t be anything like enough to sever them. However swords like this are extremely rare, which suggests they didn’t work as well as intended for any purpose.
I photographed these in Basel, Switzerland, about 20 years ago. Look at the one on the bottom (I prefer the basket-hilt schiavona in the middle).
A lot of “flamberge” (wavy-edge) swords actually started out with conventional blades which then had the edges ground to shape - the dussack, that Basel broadsword and this Zweihander were all made that way.
The giveaway is the centreline: if it’s straight, the entire blade probably started out straight.
Increased use of water power for bellows, hammers and of course grinders made shaping blades easier than when it had to be done by hand. This flamberge Zweihander, however, was forged that way.
Again, the clue is the centre-line.
Incidentally those Parierhaken (parrying hooks - a secondary crossguard) are among the only real-life examples of another common fantasy feature - hooks and spikes sticking out from the blade.
Here are some rapiers and a couple of daggers showing the same difference between forged to shape and ground to shape. The top and bottom rapiers in the first picture started as straights, and only the middle rapier came from the forge with a flamberge blade.
There’s no doubt about this one either.
The reason - though that was a part of it - wasn’t just to look cool and show off what the owner could afford (any and all extra or unusual work added to the price) but may actually have had a function: a parry would have been juddery and unsettling for someone not used to it, and any advantage is worth having.
However, like the saw-edged dussack, flamberge blades are unusual - which suggests the advantage wasn’t that much of an advantage after all.
Here’s a Circassian kindjal, forged wiggly…
…and an Italian parrying dagger forged straight then ground wiggly…
There were also parrying daggers with another fantasy-blade feature, deep notches and serrations which in fantasy versions often resemble fangs or thorns.
These more practical historical versions are usually called “sword-breakers” but I prefer “sword-catcher”, since a steel blade isn’t that easy to break. Taking the opponent’s blade out of play for just long enough to nail him works fine.
NB - the curvature on the top one in this next image is AFAIK because of the book-page it was copied from, not the blade itself.
The missing tooth on that second dagger, and the crack halfway down this next one’s blade, shows what happens when design features cause weak spots.
So there you go: a quick overview of fantasy sword features in real life.
Here’s a real-life weapon that looks like it belongs in a fantasy story or film - and this doesn’t even have an odd-shaped blade…
Just a very flexible one…
If you want more odd blades, Moghul India is a good place to start…
i could not ask for a better addition to my meme post than blade education thank you so much
It’s not fantasy anatomy, but knowing stuff about the objects you put in your fantasy world is also very important
Reblog so she lives forever.
20 years. If this gets posted and we all survive for another 20…things might be alright.
Recently I’ve been thinking about a Kingdom Hearts AU for Twst, like the students at Night Raven are Sora and they through all the different worlds and stories. Rather than mage stones and pens they have their own keyblades and overblotting is more or less the same as getting swallowed by darkness.
(I haven’t played KH in so long I need to update myself on the lore before I go through with this but I have a vision.)
Something about Infinity Nikki teasing those gorgeous men and then giving them 30 seconds of screen time feels like a personal attack on me specifically.
I GOT A FUCKING RAISE THE POTATO WORKED WTF
