My brain is forcing me to do strange things.
I honestly intended to do this just as a sketch with the Scarabia's boys, but I overdid it a little… Thank you book 6?

continuing my awakener bingo :)
I recently drew comission for a human I know. Next, I'll continue to post art on twisted wonderland, I just can't help but brag about my (zero) skills.
Speedpaint of that piece.

a little pet peeve of mine is that we aren't shown nearly enough faculty members & staff of NRC
i mean it's implied (?) that Trein, Crewel & Vargas are the heads of their respective departments, so presumably (???) they have more teachers. like, it would make sense, right? no way just three teachers are enough for 600-something students that are on campus
but also, who runs the infirmary? who's the groundskeeper? who's overseeing the cleaning staff? is it just ghosts all the way down???
i think i saw a twst version of Mother Gothel as head nurse in one of the fics? which imo was neat
for the music&arts department, i'd actually suggest... uh, whathisname... the organ guy from the BatB sequel, i think he'd be a perfect drama king for the role
yes for twst!yzma as Crewel's rival; imagine if they aimed for the head of sciences department position for years, but in comes this young hotshot and all but steals it
also Madam Mim from Sword in Stone as one of the magic teachers (enchantments/illusions maybe)
as for twst!Captain Hook, i'd nominate him for supply/logistics/facility manager actually; someone's gotta be procuring stuff for the kitchens & cleaning staff & other departments, imo a guy twisted from a pirate should do nicely
I have a lot of thoughts about throwing these poor guys in brotp, but I can't really explain why I think it's cool. Just look at how poor Ruggie panics surrounded by "normal" people. I don't really like how I draw this, but, you know, if somebody can look at this and think "cool", then it's deserve to be.
I wanted to draw my personal Persians, but my friends are terribly cruel in how much they give me memes, and now I'm redrawing memes again (for some reason)
Pointy ears.
when you talk to people they kill you
I don't think i will understand humans. Or maybe I'm just incapable
That's probably bcs i minimize any interaction with people here and refuse to talk or understand 😃
Sorry I was being rude there when I said I was confused 🙏 the text often cuts out in the middle of a sentence and the idioms (?) are very confusing. Loved the art! And I’m always happy to see ppl interact with my posts! Chronic anxiety Jamil real
Haha, don't apologize! It's okay not to understand the words and consider it rude. Actually, that's exactly what I was trying to say, and now I'm going to try again, but with screenshots - maybe it will help! If it's not too clear in this case, you can ask me again! I'll try to, uh, explain it another way.
I mentioned that many characters, despite the fact that Kalim can be difficult and sometimes even rude in his words, seem to take him lightly. But I don't think it's because they don't fully understand the problems that come with Kalim. They seem to act more like they're interacting with a small child. Young children are also distracted a lot and don't really understand boundaries, and judging by the rather, um, calm (by my standards) attitude towards Ortho in this college, the dudes seem to understand child care perfectly.
Kalim can be very difficult in some situations, but it is very rarely taken personally. This is an interesting mature position from a bunch of teenagers, and this is also due to Kalim, who approaches everything with energy and joy. Ruggie and Jamil have a different opinion, not because others have not suffered defeats or problems from Kalim's actions, but because they feel responsible for him. Jamil has an imposed responsibility that he cannot separate from his own, as a result, he is doubly fucked in the brain by everything that happens. Ruggie understands perfectly well that he uses someone else's good nature and generosity, it's just that his moral compass allows him to ride on other people's backs, but he doesn't want to get problems from the fact that someone understood what he was doing.
I always admit that my interpretation may be wrong, mainly because, given that I've been learning English all my life, I still can't make sentences in that language. I can understand words, but in all meanings at the same time, which constantly baffles me. Articles, auxiliaries, and modal verbs are constantly confusing me. Therefore, my perception can be distorted when I talk about something, ehh. I just don't have enough concentration on this language and its terrible rules of putting words in a strictly regular order. By the way, Kalim (unconsciously, in order to see the good) and Jade (completely consciously and for fun) periodically perform approximately the same linguistic gymnastics. I do this mainly because in my head words are not letters, but rhythmic patterns and a set of contexts that are perceived in random order. I'm probably just amazing at imitating a normal person.
Deuce and Ace have shown in different situations that they are quite ready to boil over any crooked word. (especially from people who are at least visually similar to their size, they certainly treat the older ones a little differently, but mostly because they don't want to get pussy in return, and Ace is completely fucked up after Riddle's overblot). At the same time, Kalim has a completely different attitude in this regard.
In the lantern event, this attitude is quite easy to trace - he is clearly not treated as an equal, and this, in fact, helps to perceive Kalim quite well, despite Riddle's muttering with Jack (I'm not sure that in this fd at least someone did not speak loudly about Kalim next to Kalim and Kalim 'didn't hear anything').
Among other things, Kalim often performs for narrative purposes. (From the point of view of the narrative, it would be very stupid if what the player does not know was not explained, or if Kalim was simply told "are you stupid" and the dialogue ends there.) Having a visual novel, authors must often exhaust themselves through descriptions of the environment, through dialogues about the 'obvious' and what everyone knows. Introducing a character who has problems with concentration and at the same time naive and childish admiration for everything around him is the solution to this problem. Kalim is often used precisely as a function, but there is also a point in this function — everyone at this college explains things to Kalim very calmly.
There should have been examples of communication between Kalim and Vil, but I got distracted and forgot to take a screenshot. Vil just actually used to say, 'you're completely stupid and uneducated,' and then spend 10 dialog boxes to explain something and make sure you understood everything. Kalim was most often the victim of this, even if the rest of the team didn't understand something either, simply because Kalim obviously wasn't afraid of him. Among other things, very sensitive to insults to his dignity, Vil never really took offense at Kalim's communication, only clarified what Kalim meant, and then explained why it might be offensive.
I don't talk much about Ruggie and Jamil here, mainly because everything seems more or less clear with them. Ruggie is very clear about his position towards rich people and just people. Moreover, we should still understand that Kalim is not just getting to these two. I just have a problem with the fact that Kalim is supposed to be Silver's classmate, but I see a lottle things about this interaction? Well, that's okay. But we have a royal understanding.
No matter how angry Leona gets at everyone and snaps at them like a street cat, he sometimes gets soft. I have a lot of thoughts about it, but they're all about feelings and colors, so I won't be able to convey them properly. They just look like a family and I really love brotp.
I think, among other things, the rest of the characters aren't particularly mad at Kalim because he really knows how to sincerely apologize. He knows how to admit mistakes, he can be bullied, he can be persuaded (not always, rest the soul of Jamil and Ruggie), and often other characters won't even try to accuse him of deliberately pushing for pity. Kalim apologizes and really tries to think about it next time, but he just manages to find so many different ways to do it that it's not even clear where to start. He doesn't seem to have done what he apologized for, but the result is deplorable again.
and plus other screenshots that didn't fit...
I hope this explained what I was trying to say earlier! communication and all business. Sorry if it's again a mess...
Nobody asked but I only head canon Kalim as having cPTSD and peripheral neuropathy. Those two things cover literally so many of his symptoms.
cPTSD is almost always comorbid with depression and anxiety, helps explain things like dissociation, poor memory, difficulty with certain stimuli (curry, probs other things as well), emotional numbness (happy happy haaaappy🎶), poor interpersonal relationships, etc etc blah blah blah. Actually paired with his weird socialization growing up I think that’s where is fucked up ability to socialize comes from lol. cPTSD can have a lot of similarities to other neurodivergent disorders in the way it manifests (cough, adhd and autism). I think this cuz like. He can read ppl and behave appropriately. He knows how but doesn’t… apply it correctly… idk maybe workshop that.
Peripheral Neuropathy (damage to the neurons/nerves in the body, can be caused by exposure to poison) explains weakness and clumsiness despite the fact he physically trains often. Causes numbness in the body, pain, muscle weakness, difficulty moving. Shit like that
Boom there you go my armchair Kalim diagnosis. Obvs you can hc him with whatever you want but 🤷♂️
can we talk about the fact that most of the characters in the game either have normal hair colors or explanations for their hair color (it seems that only Epel and Trey have unnatural hair color without explanation), and Kalim has absolutely normal hair color for a person who has more cortisol in his body than blood
