#masterlist #always a wip

Hi everyone !! This isn't a return announcement, but I wanted to share today's adventure 🤧💕 I traveled to the D23 expo & visited the twst booth

Most of my pictures turned out blurry because I was so excited but I took so many !! And then I almost cried meeting Grim up close

Those dorm leader initiation videos felt sm more overwhelming to see in person ... or maybe I'm just sentimental 🥹 Idia greeted me this time 💙

#twisted wonderland #🫶

quitting this blog is a super bizarre feeling actually 🤡 idk if anyone’s still here who used to follow the unofficial-twstd blog, but that was first made in august of 2019 !!!! now that’s dead and this one will be inactive & I don’t have anything to do on tumblr anymore sjjsk

most of my effort went into twstarchives but I think my farthest-reaching contribution to the fandom was this video on youtube -- 1M views !! hello it has me shook everytime I look at it

anyway thank you all again for these past few years 🎉

I’m feeling so damn sad rn like I got so excited for the game coming out and got worried when it wouldn’t let me pre register so I went to see their Twitter and read it all again and we’ll

US and Canada only

I’m in Mexico

I’m so sad rn like I just assumed it was global release and idk I’ll try to see if I can change my settings or something so that I can play it

But damn I was so excited about this

I know!!! It's so unfortunate. I'm sure it will be on QooApp for Android users. I never know how to help iPhone users because Apple seems to get increasingly restrictive 💦 At the very least I'll hope recordings get posted onto YouTube for everyone 🙏

For the longest time, I always thought that Riale's name was written as Rielle. This makes me wonder how we know any of like the spelling for any character names (outside of the main cast who already have their names written in EN too), especially since some letters (like the Ls and Rs) are usually written the same way in JP. Kinda like Falena or Farena, or if its ReBlanche or LeBlanche back when Ch5 was still new.

Sorry if this is long.

"Riale" surprised me too--it's a weird feeling to remember that many of the names/terms we've gotten comfortable with might be very different than what ends up being canon.

Falena/Farena is probably one or the other; that one shouldn't be a major shock. I'm most curious about Neige's last name. I've heard the claim that it must be LeBlanche to match "Blanche neige" (Snow White in French). But the romanization of his name is "Ryubanshe" — there is no L/R after the B.

My personal guess is that it's some kind of rearrangement, so the Blanche cameo is still 100% intended, but not so obvious? Like LeBanche / Lubanche, where they moved the L to the beginning. I've also seen a theory that the "ryuban" part might be "ruban" (French for ribbon).

In Chenya's last name, the 'A' at the end is extended which usually means it becomes -er in EN (Pinker). But the version accepted by the EN fandom seems to be Pinka? I want to know this one too.

#reblog ! soon we will find out

The subject being “I” in Jade’s profile quote took me by surprise (??) — but then again for many of the promos, they have used misleading romantic-sounding quotes so maybe it was supposed to be like that after all. But other than that and the other awkward terminology sprinkled through the profiles, I like how the in-game screenshots read 🤧 feels very fluent

will you still reblog translations, or keep yours up? normally when eng releases happen the "official" translations aren't great or tweaked to make westerners comfortable, so i'm a little worried about that

oh right I forgot to consider that part of this 🙈

Everything here will definitely be kept up unless I get a takedown notice! Twst support has stated that they're OK with translations in the past, so I'm doubtful that will happen, but just in case, I have everything backed up on Google Docs & could share the folder.

I won't be translating anymore for now though! I'd still like to continue my hiatus (indefinitely).

Twst en has dropped!! However, I would like to thank you and the other translators who have dedicated so much time to this game for almost two years, you really kept us all thriving!! Thank you so much!!

thank you for this sweet message! it's been a wild few years wow, congrats everyone on eng ver 🙌

Freeze! ✧ ─=≡Σ((( つ•̀ω•́)つ You’re under arrest for being so lovely. Copy this message to 10 other blogs that you think are beautiful and deserve it. Keep the game going and make others feel beautiful!

!! not as lovely as you anon ♡♪

#thank you 🥺!!

Do you think they'll just translate it and keep the jp voice for eng twst or that they would have the option to change the voices between english and japanese?

It's so exciting but also I feel kind of weird because idk if I would want to register for the eng one. I've spent so much time on the account I have now (´；ω；`)

(Also I'm debating if I should register on my tablet or something bc I have twst on my phone lol)

Just the JP voices!

They will probably be separate apps, so you could have both on one 🤲

did you notice how instead of 1st/2nd/3rd years they use freshman/sophomore/junior in the character pages?

YESS I'm surprised they went with these terms !! but then I forget they always said from the start that NRC was inspired by school systems in America/UK

I'm not too familiar with this type of thing but I was wondering if we were to get the eng version of twst on the app would it effect the jpn version of it? Curious if you knew or not! Twst is the first jpn app I've downloaded so I'm just unsure if they would conflict with one another

I believe this will be separate, iirc most localizations of these types of games are like that? At least I always hear others mention how the eng vers are several years behind the jpn vers in terms of events/story releases, so I think it would be similar here

regarding this blog in particular, I was lowkey on my way out of tling for this game already, so this is the perfect chance to leave 💦🏃‍♀️

I'll keep it up as an archive but most likely won't come back to post any more tls 🙆‍♀️ //maybe will continue with lore posts

I love how the official title for crowley is "headmage" and the dorm leaders became "housewardens"

#en side has been living off fanmade terms this whole time its so surreal
