Rook being treated as a jerk by fandom for voting for RSA is unfair.

Now Rook as weird as he is has never intentionally hurt anyone and he is one of the kindest in NRC when treating other students. He is just honest with himself and the others. Like he also did hard work while training so it will only make sense he vote for NRC because he also put so much work and effort in winning this but he didn't because he is honest with himself.

he doesn't deserve being treated like a jerk for it I mean it's not like he even know he would be the the one that make a difference in votes. Like he is just one of many who votes for RSA.

This take shouldn't be considered as hot as it is.

I'll defend Rook on this until the end, but I get why people get so charged about this subject. I understand the feeling that he's a "traitor" to their group for not voting for his own team. The guys have every right to be hurt especially when they were so close to winning. But like you said, it's not like there weren't thousands of other votes and his made the ultimate difference any more than anyone else's. Rook didn't know that his casting his vote honestly would help tip the scale in RSA's favor.

Thank you for your take.

I also don't think Rook should have to apologize for what he did (though he does regret it). He was being true to himself and honest with the rest of the team and world. He didn't try to hide what he did in the slightest and owned up to it immediately saying that he deserved their ire for it. Later on, Vil admitted that NRC wasn't performing to the best of their ability because of the prior magic battle so he blames Rook less for it even though it stings his ego.

Honestly, under most circumstances I'd say that Rook had to be pretty brave to do what he did. Realistically, he probably didn't think too hard about his choice--for better or for worse--but going against the grain when you're going to a school full of troublemakers is pretty ballsy. Though again, this is Rook Hunt we're talking about and he's never been afraid to do blatanly dangerous things (like egging Malleus into playing tag), so maybe this turn of events shouldn't surprise us that much.

I was bored last night, so I did these little sketches. Yasuho couldn't partake in the singing & dancing portion, so they be singing while making breakfast.

Twisted Wonderland Reaction Part 17 ~ Special Edition

Hello everyone! 

So…it’s been a while since I’ve made one of these. Almost 2 years to be exact. But after book 5 forever changed how I engage with twst (for better and worse), I haven’t really been up to doing reaction posts anymore. Also after book 5 I actually began focusing more on the jp server since there were many things in the official translation that I found…lacking to say the least. 

But when twst jp released this mv on April fools day, I just knew I HAD to talk about it! I’m actually surprised more people aren’t. Probably the biggest thing about this mv is that in a lot of ways the narrative of book 5’s ending has changed now we have context to how NRC Tribe performed. I’ve seen a lot of posts on the bird app saying things like it makes sense now why they lost the VDC. 

I will say, this is definitely NOT a perfect performance. But as a former dancer with WAY too much time on their hands, I decided to analyze this.

So for context, Ive done a mix of ballet and jazz for eleven years, from age 4 to 15. Even though I gave up going to classes, I still did para para and anime dances with my friends. And in 2017, I decided to return to dance and have been dancing consistently ever since. I’m mostly versed in ballet but I still do some jazz, hip hop and took up kpop last year. To judge this fairly, I watched the MV several times, four times per member, (do the math and feel free to judge me). And with that, here are the things that stuck out to me the most. 

He is beauty, he is grace, HOW HE HELL DID HE NOT KICK EPEL IN THE FACE?!

Synchronization/symmetry 

The lack of synchronization was the first thing I noticed, ESPECIALLY in the first 30 seconds. The footwork is sloppy and Deuce and Ace in particular aren't as sharp with their moves as the other five. Rook seems to be the only one doing the choreography correctly because one point at 0:25 (and again at 3:31) where he bends his knee higher than the others and thanks to those fuckass uggs standing out so much, I couldn’t unsee it. At 1:03, 1:07, 2:07, and 3:00 Ace’s form is noticeably off as well.

And this may just be a personal hangup of mine but I found lack of symmetry between the boys at 1:14 very odd. Like, I don’t know how I can describe it but the way Epel tried to take center stage during his and Vil’s duet gave me the impression that wasn’t originally in the routine. At 1:13 there’s a split second where you can actually see Vil looking down at Epel like “...wut?” I immediately thought about that moment right before they go on stage where Epel offers to take on Vil’s solo’s because he looks so weak but Vil refuses. I wonder if Epel trying to take center like that is a callback to that exchange. Unfortunately, since the boys were perfectly symmetrical for the rest of the song, it stands out as awkward all the more. 

Kalim and Jamil

Lowkey, Kalim and Jamil both carried this performance after Vil. The little magic with the mic was a super nice touch and Kalim shines the most during the dance break. He seems to be having fun with it despite being in agony. What’s interesting is that after Ace and Deuce, Kalim is the most out of sync but he pulls it off well since I can tell he’s been on the stage before. Both he and Jamil are natural performers. 

Vil’s movements

So, this has been something of a headcanon of mine but it seems to have been proven correct with this mv. Vil has always struck me as someone who probably has a lot of classical dance training but little training in other styles like hip-hop or jazz. His movements are very graceful and elegant but almost…too elegant? I don’t know if that makes sense but they seem very smooth for this style of choreography. And because he’s in the center the most, it stands out the most.

AND THAT FUCKING GRAND JETE!!! Absolutely flawless but it feels SO out of place here! I will give him credit though, that is one of the most difficult jumps to pull off in ballet, and the fact he did that in fucking 5-inch heels right after the most mentally and physically traumatic episode of his life, it’s beyond impressive. And the fact he landed perfectly and so seamlessly moved into his final solo is even more remarkable. Still, that was the most jarring element of this choreography and I think it would still be out of place even if this was a “perfect” performance. 

Now here’s where I potentially piss people off

All in all this is a perfectly imperfect performance. Being completely objective and not taking my love for these characters into account, I honestly still don’t see how they lost. Well, I understand why but it still is fucked to me. I can understand Vil feeling like NRC Tribe didn’t perform their best since they were exhausted and hurting from dealing with his overblot. I can also understand that they were probably a lot more polished in rehearsal. But here’s the thing,  for a group of amateurs, I would probably expect this quality of performance even if they hadn’t had to deal with Vil’s overblot.

First off, while the choreography is rather simple from a dancers perspective, it can be pretty complex for beginners. For one, it requires a lot of synchronization to look correct. But as a beginner, perfecting synchronization alone can take months and, in larger groups, sometimes even longer. If NRC Tribe can look like this after only ONE MONTH of training, taking into account only three out of seven of them have dance experience, that’s extremely impressive.

To give an example, last year at my dance school for our end of the year showcase, the K-pop class did a cover of TWICE's Can't Stop Me. Because our class is made up of students with varying levels of experience (some none at all), it took us the better part of eight months to learn. We had to learn everything in groups of three before we could learn and practice together. And even then, we still fucked up a lot because none of us are professionals and some of us were dancing for the first time. Look at this video and tell me if you could learn this in only ONE month. Vil, can you train me please?? XD

And that brings me to the next point, the experience of all the members. Now, in Rook’s most recent birthday vignette, he mentions learning ballet and in book 5 we see Epel and Deuce taking ballet lessons. But in ballet, as a beginner, your earliest lessons are going to be almost exclusively barre work and depending on age, you might not do center work/combinations for weeks. I’m going to assume Vil is really the only one with solid dance training with Jamil and Kalim also having the most experience just dancing in general. As for the others, they were going to need a lot more training if this was going to look more polished. ESPECIALLY Ace and Deuce.

As for having to perform right after beating OB Vil’s ass, again I was expecting to see A LOT more noticeable errors. And knowing what they all just went through honestly makes me admire this all the more. The thing is, it’s easy to be beautiful when everything is right and perfect in your world. But being able to smile even when you’re struggling and your heart is breaking is even more beautiful still. Personally, I don’t think I could perform even half as well if it were me. 

It’s unfortunate that we don’t have a MV of Neige’s performance so I could do a fully fair analysis. But if we look at all the evidence, it seems to me that NRC Tribe still gave a better performance. And I think the true tragedy here isn’t even that NRC Tribe lost since I think that was always a given considering the dynamic NRC and RSA has.

The true tragedy, I think, is that Vil could be convinced that this perfectly imperfect performance was still inferior to Neige’s. But I’ll leave that for another time. 

[britishassistant]

did all the cast from twst(including staff) come to find them or just the guys from the vdc ?

Thank you for the ask, dear anon!

It was just the guys from VDC tribe initially were the only ones to go looking, because they were the only ones that Grim told!

However, news spread around campus pretty quickly that the Ramshackle Prefect has had their stomach pumped and is currently resting up in the infirmary, so they’ll have plenty of well-wishes when they wake up (plus reprimands to stop being such a suicidal dumbass).

How Would NRC Tribe Sing...

Hi! So, lately, I've been listening to this group called ORβIT and it just struck me that they have similar tone and vocal range that I THINK suits each member of the NRC Tribe.

So, here are the songs and the videos I made to get a little glimpse and listen to.

1) Never Gonna Get Away - Imagine this being a title track like those Kpop groups when they have a comeback. Sheesshhh, my heart 🥰

2) Dionaea - The ballad song. Every Idol groups needs to at least include one in their albums or singles right? Listening to this song while imagining them boys made my heart go 💗

3) Blind - Two words. Very suggestive. Please, please, please, keep your minds and imaginations at bay. I do not recommend minors to listen to this... 👿 (p/s: If I had to be honest, Leona fits this song a lot..but then again, I'm a Leona simp so-)

Bird of Paradise - I totally did not prioritized Ace in this song (actually, I did. Rejoice, Ace simps! Your boy is shining in this)

And that's it! Hope you enjoyed them.

Also, I'm planning on doing other songs. Or maybe other characters, if I manage to find ones that matches their tones and vocals that is 😌
