twitch's combo of crazy high persuasive & being Really Fucking Annoying is everything to me. they are the most charismatic guy in this room & you can't stop listening to what they say but also it's kind of pissing you off a little

[capn-twitchery]

twitch should never have kids (nor do they want any) but i do think they're great with kids. in a way. specifically in the way that plenty of kids think twitch is cool and twitch is more than happy to indulge when a random urchin asks to see them blow shit up or hear scary pirate stories (gory details included)

5 year old to 5 year old communication

(unfortunately this also applies if the kid argues with them. they will argue back. they won't hold back because the kid is 5. don't test them)

important to me that modern twitch would not be a cool pirate they are a strange middle aged woman* (*gender neutral) that lives in a canal boat with really tacky patterns and nobody knows their name because everyone just knows them as The Captain or something. they'll talk to anyone who gets too close but your parents will tell you don't get too close to that guy because they're weird. they have tacky signs like this unironically

twitch is such an annoying oc to have because if you give me an insightful & interesting question about them 90% of the time the answer is that they don't care and they're not gonna think about it. immediate shutdown. their ass is not even considering it

Ahoy and good morrow to you, whoever you are! Aha! Savvied it out at last. You can whittle words out of this thing. Purloined this peculiar rectangle right from Parabola. Whatever it is. Fell from a mirror, hereabouts. Sound and safe in my own supervision now, anyhow. Since you all seem so besotted upon me around here, I may tell of a tale or two–If you’re so inclined to make it worth my while, of course. Be seeing you. Ciao! ~Capt. Twitchery

twitch's reflection's life is so fucking sad. it slowly withers & rots away alongside the person in the cage gardens that it originally belonged to til it's nothing but an empty shell. full of holes. it doesn't understand much anymore. most of its sentience rots away with it

but it doesn't die, because that body still exists as twitch. it's still linked to them. it follows them around, painfully, slowly, because it's the only instinct it has left, the only shred of connection to what it used to be. it tries to imitate them. surely that's what it's supposed to do?

but twitch hates it. they see it as parabola mocking them, their time in the cage gardens-a walking honey hive corpse, falling to pieces, missing parts of itself. they avoid it at all costs, they avoid parabola at all costs. the reflection just shambles around to look through whatever mirror it feels the strongest pull towards, but it never gets there in time.

and then it catches up with twitch Once, in the waswood. and twitch kills it. horrifically. it doesn't even know Why

[capn-twitchery]

if i think for too long about how twitch has like 0 close friends it makes me sad. they don't know how to be normal with people or any of The Rules but they also kind of don't care to learn because they don't want to tone themselves down (they don't know how to do that anyway. this is the only way they've Ever been) but they can't explain Why they're like this. nobody is allowed to know.

but then on the other hand i also would Not want to fucking hang out with twitch so like. i get it. could you imagine trying to have a single serious conversation with them good fucking lord
